Seeing with one eye, a new experience
After four surgeries on the retina of my right eye, I have come to the conclusion, I may never really see out of it again. I do have one good eye left. But the loss of one is confusing and tiring and takes away confidence. I see blurs, sort of ink blot like images. There [...]

Steering by Starlight
I heard Martha Beck on NPR, and was so impressed by the facts of her story about how she has chronic fatigue and fibromylgia and was able to overcome these barriers and write her books and become a life coach. I immediately ordered Steering by Starlight from Amazon.
I feel like the windows of my life [...]
Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour. The Truth about Natalie Wood
Finally, after nearly thirty years, the truth has surfaced about what happened the night Natalie Wood died. I wrote a review of Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour, for Amazon, after I read it, and there has been an amazing response. I love that. A couple of people are hateful and call me names but that is [...]

Lies, Lies, and NO. Winning at any price is wrong.
Sometimes my mind seems to wander. I forget that I have this great web page/blog where I can share my thoughts. I am a CNN political junkie and I have been watching so much about the health bill and what is going on in Haiti and now Chile and that has just about used up [...]

Witnessing Haiti
What does witnessing mean? Why is it important? I am not sure, but I am called to do it at times.
Somehow I feel my attention may make a small difference and connect to some and alert some others.
It would be easy to turn off the television, send in a donation and not put myself through [...]
Why have we made life so complicated?
JUST HAVE TO SHARE THIS. I THINK ABOUT THIS SO OFTEN IN THIS ELECTRONIC AGE
No matter what our kids and [...]
Haiti Please Pray for A Positive Future
For two hundred years Haitians have suffered, yet endured. In this beautiful country, life for the poor has been
hellish. This earthquake seems to have been the worst tragedy of all. So many people dead, injured, and homeless.
First of all we must pray for the rush of the supplies to get to the people. It is [...]
Time to get back to work.
I have been gone from my page for too long. Three eye surgeries have made it difficult to be creative, but I think we have solved the problem. My Retina kept detaching and the doctor was puzzled. Three seems to have been the charm. The doctor even gave me a big hug he was so [...]

2010
Last year went by so quickly. Lots of heavy important things happened in my life and fortunately I think I was able to handle most everything very well. I have to give the credit to Adi Da Samraj, my Spiritual Teacher, who has always told us to turn to Him. I did all year long [...]

I found this article on the net because I have had three attacks of the vagus nerve in the past year. It is the strangest thing how it comes on, I am in a restaurant, having a good time. I have eaten one course of food, there is music, good company and all of a [...]

HAIRDRESSER TO THE STARS Reading My Biography
Reading my biography might sound strange to some, but I have forgotten so much about my life. Maybe I have chosen to remember the best parts, but in my mind they were all pretty good. Of course some were painful, but those were lessons learned. Now at seventy five, I wonder how I could have [...]

CRAP BEHAVIOR IS NOT AN AMERICAN RIGHT
Yesterday, listening to Keith Oberman talk about health care, I was stunned at how right he is and so happy he is a national newscaster who is able to share his opinions even though George Bush Sr. seems not to approve of what he says. He brings up the truth and shares it due to [...]

MEDITATION
I am beginning a class called Devotional Yoga next Monday night.
One of the assignments is to meditate at least fifteen minutes a day and to observe
and record what what my moment to moment experience is, and then to ask myself
what is the moment to moment question of life.
I meditate upon my Teacher Adi Da Samraj. [...]
Just Because
It is raining today and I love it. Maybe wash off some of the soot and dust that clings to trees and houses and sidewalks around here. It also brings the positive ions. It also makes me so lazy. I feel as if I have to stay inside. The truth is it is actually warm [...]

Apartment Living in Hermosa Beach
Culture shock is upon me at seventy five. After living in the middle of the woods for thirty years, and a short stay in Mexico living behind the high walls, I am now living in Hermosa Beach, California.
Life changed and I did not have a choice about where I was going to live. The beach [...]
Why are Kids Dying? Educating Women is the Key to Curing the Violence
All morning I have been listening to people talking about how to solve the problem of violence toward children in Chicago.We are a nation addicted to violence. It is crazy. I have felt safer in so many other countries on this earth. How can we change this? Violence is self medication for anger and hurt. [...]

Michael Moore is So Right On
Michael Moore is right. I am too old to march, I don’t have that kind of energy. Years ago I would have been out there
protesting the insanity in Washington about the health care. But oh I wish I could do more. I still can feel and see and hear.
When I listen to the news about [...]
Electronic Medical Records and Communication with Your Doctor.
Fifteen minutes is about the most I get with my new doctor. He is an internist. Nice, pleasant, and in a hurry.
Let’s do this test and that. Here is what it says and here is what we will do about what it says. Take this pill,
it might prevent diabetes. Your count is borderline. We usually [...]
Why No Connection to Your Neighbors?
I am puzzled,mystified, muddled and baffled at what happens between neighbors. in California. Or is it everywhere?
I was talking to a man in
my art class this morning who told me this story. He has lived in his house for over thirty years and has never
spoken to his neighbors across the street who lived there nearly [...]
Obama Raises Our Intelligence When He Speaks.
This morning my daughter brought me my coffee and remarked sarcastically “What would people do
without a television or radio?” I was watching Obama speak to The United Nations.
Her question was interesting. Why do I now watch television when I never used to turn it on?
Does it make a difference in the big picture if I [...]
I love Michelle Obama
This morning Michelle Obama spoke to women about the necessity for health care for all.
She is intelligent, sincere, warm and reaches right to the heart of the matter. She also is growing
more beautiful by the day. I belive as people grow into themselves they shed the stuff that
hides the glow of love and glory within. [...]
I love what Rachel Madow brings up on her show.
Yesterday and many days before I sat and watched the news and found myself wondering what our country is coming to.
The lies and the insanity that people , who appear to be brought up to reject facts, believe and shout and yell and march for such lies that it
astounds me. It is beyond crazy. Does [...]

a fabulous wedding done inShri Lanka style. So beautiful with all the young women and the older ones [...]
Cell phones in prison. What on earth?
Just saw on tv that prisoners have phones. It is a mystery why people have cell phones in prison. How come? It is like once one goes to prison you can have all the things you had when your were not in prison except for freedom of course. I cannot understand why this happens yet [...]
