Beginnings - Happy New Year

A new year - a new season - a new beginning - renewal - rebirth.

Let every day be the first day of the rest of your life, but especially let today be a new beginning.

What is your vision for your life? Put it into action starting today.

Happy New Year!
I'm being who I am, not who I think they want me to be or who I think I'm expected to be. I am saying what I think. I am responding honestly and being fully present. I feel genuine. My feelings feel genuine. As we talk, as I teach, as I listen, as I write, as we are together in whatever way, it is genuine. It is an electrical charge connecting us. Is it empathy? Is it simply being understood, heard and known? What is it made of? I don't know. But I know when it begins and can feel precisely when it breaks and disconnects. It feels like the only thing that is real.

Thank you Jonathan Lockwood Huie for this last paragraph that I want to add to my feeling and thoughts....
Today is your day to dance lightly with life. It really is.
Play with life, laugh with life, dance lightly with life, and smile at the riddles of life, knowing that life’s only true lessons are writ small in the margin.

Thank you for reading-

Toby Keith - Cryin' For Me (Wayman's Song)

Toby Keith song, "Cryin' For Me," a tribute to the late Wayman Tisdale. It's really a beautiful song and the video is terrific. Tobey Keith ft. Dave Koz, Marcus Miller and Arthur Thompson - which begins with the outgoing message from Tisdale's answering machine. Makes us miss Wayman even more. Take a look below.

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me!

August 29, of this year (2010), my queen and I will be married for twenty three years. As I look back on that day, I smile as I remember how my queen laughed as she told me that she could tell how nervous I was by the way I repeated my vows. She said as I spoke my vows my tone became louder and louder, this is how she came to the conclusion that I was nervous. I personally don’t believe that I was nervous at all. I was and remain the same today, confident and sure regarding the decision that I was making. I can honestly say that this statement is one of fact because I feel stronger and more assured today regarding my decision to marry…even more than I did on my wedding day. Thinking back I start to ponder my vows and how they have been tested and tried. What did we declare on that day before God and man? We declared to be together for richer or for poorer, for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, till death us do part. Funny but most of us only hear, receive and live half

Is there a difference between a Farmer and a Gardener?

By Gloria Whyte A farmer by definition is a person who cultivates the land. A gardener by definition is a person who cultivates seedlings and their offspring for growth and future transplantation. To cultivate means the preparation process of working the land/soil in order to raise crops/plants. So why do I care about a farmer or a gardener? Sounds as though the farmer and the gardener do the same thing, they both cultivate. But believe me there is a difference and it is a big one, the difference between the farmer and the gardener is what they cultivate, how they cultivate and what happens to what is cultivated. Let us start with what they cultivate. Are you a crop or a plant? Is the person giving you guidance a farmer or a gardener? Are you being raised for just a season or are you being raised to be transplanted. Crops are cultivated for consumption and plants are cultivated for growth and transplanting. Plants are raised to be transplanted into pots, moving from
