Things I Have Learned ...

Things I have learned over the years …

Going back to basics brings clarity

Believe in yourself

At times, you need to stand alone

Stand up for those who do not have a voice

Water intake is so essential

Magnesium calms the body

Listening to your intuition never fails

Let things go, they just weigh you down

Reading is a wonderful way to end the day

Pay attention to what your body is telling you

Time is the best gift that can be given

Moderation is key

Photography captures the moments that may have been lost

Silence reveals the answers you are search of

Nature is the best medicine

Choose your battles wisely

Listen to the voices of experience

Be a note taker when learning new things

Never stop dreaming

Be grateful for the small things
Good people share their knowledge
Never take anyone for granted

Tomorrow will always be better

A good night sleep makes a world of difference

Try to have something to look forward to

It all comes down to choice

Be Kind!

What has the past years taught you?

I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf.

(Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

Nashville Travels ...

As I left Logan Airport in Boston, I felt that I was opening a new window in my life. One of freedom. One of self-independence. I found my seat and settled in. The flight flew by and I was in Nashville before I knew it. I gathered my bags and headed to the outside passenger pickup curb. I was greeted with open arms by a friend that could easily be a Sister of mine. Before too long, I began seeing Nashville and Memphis signs on the highway. This was truly happening. A jaunt that was planned so quickly, felt more surreal by the moment. A quick re-cap of the tourist sites we took in were visiting the Grand Ole Opry Backstage Tour, Antique Archeology (American Pickers Gift Shop), Broadway (Street of Lights) and shopping in Downtown Franklin. The regular daily sites were just as fun - Meeting new friends, trying new food (and cream soda - Yum!), listening to live music, attended a going away party, shared in a friends brunch, and being serenaded by incredibly talented fiddlers, g...
