PEACE/ CHANGE


I have just been introduced to a magical 'turn around' for me! I have been introduced to a musical experience the likes of which I have never experienced before. You too can experience it as well.

It is on You Tube on your phone or TV screen or computer called PLAYING FOR CHANGE!

People from many, many countries are shown playing a musical instrument and/or singing, dancing and/or playing the same song at the same time. It's like a concert except each person is from a different country. There are children and people of all ages playing, singing and dancing in unison! 

There are people from the United States, and each person no matter where they are from is performing with such joy and enthusiasm and love of music and the connection with each person performing, that I was swept into a 'state' just watching their faces, listening to the words, melody and the incredibly gorgeous scenery shown in most places. These songs are short, 2 to 5-6 minutes each so there is a variety and a flow to the tempo that is mesmerizing to me!

The songs sung are in English so most songs are understandable. Just watching their expressions while performing is thrilling and inspiring, and the expressions of joy and satisfaction when they finish their piece warms my heart to the point of tears. These people are so dedicated and so focused and kind in their hearts that it immediately transferred over to 'me', others!

Besides all the joy abounding on faces, I could see the pain on some of the faces as a result of strife, tragedy, loss . . .which makes the playing all the more poignant. 

The magic of music touches us all at a point of heart connection like nothing I have ever experienced. I could just tell that no matter what, these people had their music and ability to sing and play, no matter what! I imagine that few performers actually knew each other (I don' know for sure) but the whole performance was so beautifully orchestrated that it felt like one seamless flow! truly moved me and I can't wait to get back to enjoy more! I hope you do the same! 



Watch your reaction to it all! 

It is a gift to us all

From people who care!

PLEASURES BLEEDING HEART When I look around the VILLAGE, I find more and more scenes, activities, support and people that give me PLEASURE. It’s so easy for me to experience new aspects of my life at the Village. So much is available here and I’m open to more adventures everyday. There are several activities I want to try. One PLEASURE I have done is watercolor painting and I intend to do more of that. The activities I enjoy every week are exercise classes, swimming, gardening, meeting new people, writing my blog, teaching classes, my garden and generally enjoying each day to see what comes up. Every night when I get into bed at night I give thanks for a most rewarding and surprising day!  Remember, you can rotate activities, or stagger them and you can rest whenever you want to! I love this new attitude I have adopted because I no longer fret and plan each day to the fullest. I derive much more satisfaction from being free and spontaneous a great deal of the time.

Easter Lily RISING We all know the feeling of RISING; An uplift, an awakening, an experience of   a breakthrough and the opening of the heart. Even thinking about the sun RISING can be an uplift. It is also the Phoenix RISING out of the ashes. That is such a powerful image for me. I have just experienced a RISING, a huge avalanche of experiences that have been profound. My daughter and her fiancé visited me that was wonderful. It was a sort of mission that we were all on that was truly amazing.   I also sold my car to a very lovely woman that appreciates it and it was so effortless! As I was about to leave an appointment Friday, the power went out from the storm. I could not access the Village to come get me, nor Uber. I met a woman who was so wonderfully friendly and kind and offered me a ride back to the Village. I was stunned. We talked like we had known each other for years. We had lunch and have become friends. Again effortless. Somewhere in the mix, I had

DELIGHT This is one of my favorite words! The sight of it, the sound of it and the meaning of DELIGHT . . . DELIGHTS ME. I begin my day by opening my blinds and looking out to the trees and the lake, every morning! Then I see the ducks waddling about and the magnificent egret(s) prancing around. Lately I’ve watched the Whistling ducks, I saw a mama, daddy and 3, yes 3 tiny babies running then swimming together! Such a DELIGHT! More and more I am enamored with NATURE. I can always fine something that makes me NOTICE something that is present that perhaps I never NOTICED before. Sometimes it is as simple as a limb on an old oak tree, or the markings on the Muscovy ducks. A DELIGHT is more than just in Nature. I have recently had a few conversations with people that were completely DELIGHTFUL! It makes me feel so uplifted and grateful to know them and share in some special conversations. It stays with me for a long time. The key for me is to listen to them
