imagine

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

skinny bitch, natural cures they don’t want you to know about, the nature of personal reality

It’s wonderful so many people are in agreeance that a healthier way of life is what they want. And because so much information is available in abundance in the marketplace, e.g., in the form of information humorously communicated in the easy to read book SKINNY BITCH by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, and the packed [...]

chinese pie

Often when I prepare Chinese Pie I think of my mother, and I smile because she left me with an incredibly simple way of preparing a meal many people have enjoyed for as long as I’ve been serving it. When people first hear the name, they question it to the point where conversation about it [...]

illicit, moises naim

Last night I watched a PBS documentary called ILLICIT (Illicit: “an illegitimate seizure of power” www.dictionary.com), and as I watched I became increasingly saddened. And I wondered: Why are so many people using all kinds of methods to fill their pockets with millions and millions, at times billions, of dollars at the expense of [...]

rev. michael bernard beckwith and rickie byars beckwith

Spending a day in a workshop with Rev. Michael Beckwith and Ricky Beckwith on Friday was a day with lots of sunshine, even though it was cloudy and misty outside. Being Fearless was the name of the 11,12,13 April event sponsored by Omega at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan. And on Friday, Sumi, Emi and [...]

curtains, the play

Where can you go for an evening of entertainment that will keep you clapping and laughing until the curtain goes down? I know! It’s Curtains at the Al Hirschfield Theatre in Manhattan. We – Toshi, Emi and I -enjoyed last night’s performance, and agreed that the dancing, singing, and acting – all rolled into [...]

coconut oil

Do you know that taking a few tablespoons of 100% extra virgin, no GMOs, unrefined coconut oil everyday is a very good thing to do? That there are many benefits in doing this? I found it very easy to like coconut oil the year I ate totally raw foods. However, having since gotten away from [...]

hanging pictures

There are things in life one should not even contemplate doing. My nice long wall proves that. There are holes above, beneath, and alongside recently hung frames. There are crooked pictures that should be better spaced. That needs rephrasing, straight pictures should be better spaced, crooked pictures need fixin’ which is the reason for all [...]

ponderings

Once in awhile, I agree with myself to be alone in my apartment to ponder questions, and maybe hear some answers. The questions range from personal to those about the world. With no tv and no outer distractions, I settle into quiet time and let the ponderings begin –
Do I have a compassionate heart, [...]
