Living In Abundance

It is easy to say you are living in abundace when the majority of things in your life are going well, but when things get a little rough, that is when learning about truely believing in abundace is put to the test. Like all humans, I am undergoing a test. But during these hard times, I am constantly reminded of all I have, and I am ever thankful for it. Remember: live in the now, put "it"(whatever it is) out to the universe, and let it all unfold before you. What you need will appear, you just need to recognize it. Thank you, friends.

Toga Party

What can I say? There really is NO excuse.


Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio

We visited the Amish country in Ohio, the Cumberland Dam in Tennessee, and the Maker's Mark Distillery in Kentucky. If we had taken a plane, we would not have seen these great things in the heartland of America. So I am grateful for the concept of "the open road" "Be careful going searching for adventure---it's ridiculously easy to find" William Least Heat Moon

Road Trip to Florida

We jammed to Bon Jovi's Lost Highway on our road trip to Panama City Florida. Here we are at our destination. The white sand is incredible. We walked on it everyday. Everyday we were "making memories"

Spring Is Here

Sorry, I have not been on this blog in a while. I got to get a new computer because my old one was overrun with trojan horses, viruses, etc. A little like most of the people I know this winter. Anyway, I have been on a road trip to Panama City Florida. (pictures to follow) We spent four days meandering through the states on the way down. I had never taken a trip before where part of the plan is to "smell the roses" and explore and get lost and spend 8 hours never getting any closer to the ultimate destination. We akways found nice, but cheap places to stay. And established a routine of sleeping in, traveling and exploring, and then still time for an afternoon drink and cheese its!. We found a great place to stay right on the white sand beaches of Panama City Florida for only $100 a nite. We cooked gulf shrimp in our own kitchen and wandered the beaches.Then back up throught Nashville and home.

So back home I am learning about my new computer, a new photo program, and watching the ice melt off the lake. And watching and reading The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I read one of his previous books "The Power of Now" and found it to be inspiring. It was certainly easier to live in the "now" and not to frame things in past experiences or future expectations on vacation, but I find it a more rewarding endeaver to try to practice everyday. So for now, there are now pictures on the site and no famous quotes, only the beauty of the written word on this site and the free flow of the words from my inner being. Have a great spring!!!
