Implosion – 30 Seconds To Fall
My brother sent me this video that he took on his phone. It is an implosion of a building in West Palm Beach. It was a condo building that was an eyesore since 2004 because of hurricane damage. When I looked at the video, I said “Wow!” Here is a link to some other videos taken that day.
It reminded me kind of what happened to me in some of my life situations. You take time to build, create a structure and boom, it all comes crumbling down in a flash. I use this building as a metaphor for so many breakdowns that occur because of divorce, financial instability etc… Sometimes the floor gets sweeped up under us. But if the foundation is strong – a strong heart with integrity and a strong sense of self-esteem, then anything can be rebuilt.

Time For R & R
This is the first time that I post directly from my Droid phone. I exerted much effort to get things done this past week including the weekend which is supposed to be for relax.
I woke up feeling very tired today with my back hurting and a cramp on my leg. I also stayed up until 1:30AM last night rendering some video files for my brothers site.
It has been cold, my butterfly garden is not flourishing and I haven’t been to the beach nor exercising as much or sat quietly to write. (All these things bring me inner peace)
So this morning I will tune of completely and do something which fills my heart which is writing. Just for a few hours.I am in need for a restoration. What prompted me to even write this post was that I was doing a system restore on my laptop as I was setting up to write.
I have so much to do..but my body,mind and soul is telling me I must do this. Either way, I probably will catch up in the evening.

Inspiration By J.K Rowling
J.K Rowling talks to Harvard graduates about how she felt as a failure during her dark times as a single mom. Rock bottom was the foundation of how she lived her life. She says she had no idea how far the tunnel was and that the light at the end of the tunnel was just a hope. The rest as they say is history.
This video gave me a burst of inspiration as she talks about using imagination. Listen to the whole thing as it is worth listening to.
