A twitter friend, @offgrid linked this video tonight. The lyrics gave me inspiration tonight and I love how music uplifts the soul. It’s a good way to end the year. Here are the words I got from a music & lyrics website. (more…)

I took these pictures two weeks ago on my way to visit my parents. It is a view of Biscayne Bay with Coconut Grove in the backdrop. The view driving from the car was some beautiful clouds with the sunset peaking behind. This part of the beach is also under renovation. Recently the city cut down the Australian Pines along the stretch of the Rickenbacker Causeway.

Happy Holiday & Keep On Moving
A Christmas Wreath Made By My Friend Daniela 2009 has been an interesting chaotic year. As 2010 approaches, I look back at all the challenges of this year and observe that in the midst of them, many opportunities came my way. I had set an intention two years ago to follow my dreams.

I am grateful for the many new connections I have made through Social Media all over the world and the abundance of new found friends I have made through local tweetups.

Inner Peace Prevails Although My Milkweed Died

I had to yank them off from the roots. I cut one of them down to the bottom near the roots. Hopefully, it can come back. If not, a new one can be planted and new growth will occur. (more…)
