  • Inner Peace Prevails Although My Milkweed Died

    milkweed diedI had to pull from the roots and throw out two of my  milkweed plants two weeks ago. They were infiltrated with a huge amount of bugs. The leaves were yellow and mucky and a mold was starting to form on the stems. In this past month, I haven’t taken much time to look at my milkweed. Normally I scruff them off with my hand when I see a slight infiltration. You can’t put pesticide on milkweeds because the caterpillars will die.

    When I went out to look at them, there was no hope. 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…)

  • Inner Peace & An Active Mind Creates

    Blue & Pink Clouds I Took On My Way To My Guitar Class Recently

    Today I was sorting out all my real estate files. I thought for a moment: “What a waste.” Meaning, a waste of having all this knowledge and finally putting it to rest. I know real estate deals are closing, but I had made a decision last year to attempt to work with the bank listings. It didn’t work out. So I started thinking of all the mistakes I made. “Why did I put so much effort on a fruitless endeavor?”, I thought to myself again.

    But then the thought hit me that in all my efforts of gaining knowledge, my mind stayed active. I didn’t allow the challenges to let me down. Ok, I have had many let downs this year on the surface. But all those let downs made me stronger. For some reason, I lived them. My rational mind says it was a failure. But my gut says, it was part of the process of enduring and gaining so much more beneath the surface. (more…)

  • Behind The Scenes & Looking For A Chrysallis

    I haven’t had much time to upload any videos. I have so much footage from my butterfly garden that I would like to share.  All day today, I was editing video for my brother’s dermatology site and stumbled upon this footage mixed in with his videos. I took some time to edit it because it was timely.

  • Better Reality Around The Corner

    My Computer Monitor's Multiple Open Windows

    I took this photo last month when my computer was going haywire. All these windows popped up in a few seconds. I am going to use the analogy of all these pop ups as all the possibilities in one’s life. After all, in this environment of so much change and uncertainty, we have to keep on looking at new possibilities.

    Somehow, I have been challenged by many situations in these past years. I decide to take every punch in life and keep on seeking better ways to create my life, or better yet…better ways to live my life. Our eyes are windows to being able to see beyond the punches. It is not easy when you are confronted with challenges. But isn’t it those very challenges that propel you to move beyond the current reality? (more…)

  • Elton John Music Video: Healing Hands

    I haven’t posted a music video I like in a while. I came across this one by Elton John of the Song Healing Hands. I have heard the song before, but never really paid attention to the words. They are pretty powerful and deep. The lyrics are after the video.
