"Signs of Living in a small Town"
or
"When Danger Stinks"

I overheard a man saying his goodbyes at a party.
His friend shouted out, "be careful walking home." The guy replied, "I'll be fine" and his friend turned and said, "No, I'm serious. Watch out for skunks!"

Re-post from Oct.21st 2001:

Truth and Imperfection

In being truthful with myself, I willingly acknowledge my imperfections without judgement or disdain and I choose to change. I have made mistakes and now know suffering for them is optional. I prefer to learn. To grow. To increase my capacity to love and give to both myself and others.
I seek a greater consciousness and in doing so I MUST be truthful. I am aware of the human condition and seek to be more compassionate, as I have seen how a little love can go a long way.
I smile everday.
I laugh everyday.
I cry sometimes.
I am working on my anger as it is irrational and tends to cloud the mind, keeping clarity and truth at bay.
I am imperfect.
Yes me.
Most beautifully Imperfect!
What a gift this is, as I now have the opportunity to create a better me.
I could choose to be ignorant and irresponsible for my life but
I THINK NOT!
I understand too well, the Law of
Cause and Effect.

Today I am the author of my destiny.
The book of my life will most likely be an adventure
and indeed a learning experience.
I welcome it all
and pray for guided steps.

The Great Mystery awaits!
And I,
am ready.

Wow, it's been a long time since the last blog. The summer has been great and I've been doing shows with a really great group of musicians, who love the music and add so much to it. I'm excited about adding a percussionist and traveling more.

As for my B'day party... it was Fabulous! A big up to Adrienne and Sharlene for organizing and hosting the party. It was great to see some old friends who I hadn't seen in years and the most amazing part was my B'day present... a VERY generous gift certificate to Guitar Center! Now, I can buy that much needed new, acoustic guitar!!!! I was so touched by the love and warmth felt at this party that I got all choked up and cried. It was great!

So, I hope you all are having a great summer. Fall is just around the corner and we all know what comes after that so.... if you haven't had enough fun, free time, sleep or whatever else you may need... treat yourself and enjoy the rest of the good weather!

*P.S. an added perk is that my song "All or Without" has spent several weeks at the top of the soul charts at http://mp3.com.au/mshmusic Cool huh? and oh yeah... I've lost 20lbs!

My friends are giving me a surprise birthday party today. Well, obviously, it's not a surprise anymore. It was until I told my friend I would be going out of town this weekend. She panicked and told me everything!

I must say I was surpised though! So, I'm off. I'll let you know how it goes.

Happy Sunday!

A month ago I had a body crisis. O.k, O.k. Yes, it could have had something to do with my birthday approaching. Where did the the years go? I was just 32 a minute ago! So it seems. Today, my immortality has become apparent.

It's time I take control of all aspects of my life. First things first, my health. It's been almost a month of eating well. Although, I did make the mistake of drinking this so called High Protein supplement. The protein content was high but the carbs were even higher. That's not good if you're trying to lose weight by eliminating carbohydrates! Duh!

I feel ready to be as strong as I can be. I have said goodbye to carbs, all processed foods, dairy and sugar. Big step! Yay for me! (excuse my personal accolades but this is major change!) I have indulged in some fruits, which an Atkin's purist would scoff at but this isn't about losing weight anymore. It's about making a life committment to taking care of myself and choosing to feed my body healing foods. Nourishment.

So, that's it. Life is good and I'm on a new path.

Here's to our health!

Today I stood in front of the mirror, once again contemplating the fate of my dredlocks. It seemed like a good time to cut them, as it is the New Moon and Independence Day is tomorrow. Somehow, it felt significant and I really thought, today would be the day that I said goodbye to my locks. However, every time I go to cut my dreds, I am thwarted by something or someone. Once, I actually thought I heard the gentle voice of God speak to me, saying, "Your hair connects you to me." That meant if I cut it..... I had to think about that so... I was foiled again! Today was no different.

I should tell you that I have grown my dreds for the past 12yrs. As you can imagine, they got pretty long. Down to my waist, in fact. I cut 10-12 inches off last year and another 3-4 inches in March. I love having long hair and really don't want short hair but feel it would be spiritually healthy to cut the dreds off and start anew. Another part of me is hoping it will also be helpful in initiating some much needed change in my life. By now, you must be asking, what's all this hoopla, people cut their hair everyday. Well, I have Dreds. In order to remove them completely, I will have to cut all hair within an inch of my scalp! So, you see, this is a very big deal for me. A drastic change.

After a meditation, where I made peace with the idea of cutting my lovely locks; the phone rang. I told my friend what I was about to do and just like everyone else he screamed, "No, don't do it!" I told him I needed a change and he stopped me dead in my tracks and said, "Change what's inside and leave your hair alone." I was floored by this practical but quite profound comment.

Foiled Again, my dreds are still intact........

At least for now.
