is still setting up the new office, and thinking about what to have for lunch.

is excited for sweet potato fries and some do nothing time..

is trying to figure out how to stay organized in this crazy, hectic world...

is happy this has been a nice, mellow, day off.

is moving his office today.. 50% yay, 50% sniff

My laptop takes random photos of me (for security reasons, in case it gets stolen). Every now and then I will download the photos from the past week and check them out. This time I thought I would make it into an animation for you. :)

Eric and my friends have been annoyed with my Madonna fascination lately.. specifically I can't seem to stop humming and whistling the tune to Madonna's "Sorry". This song is just stuck in my head, has been for two weeks now.. Normally when this happens, I am quick to dive into the reflection and acknowledge the message and move forward. However, this one is a bit deeper, so I thought I might share it with you.

"...dive into the reflection and acknowledge the message..."?!

Yes, that is what I said. In this non-dual world that I live in, all things I perceive are merely a reflection of my being. The closer they are to 'home' the greater the impact on my being. For my friends and loved ones to recognize the obsession, and that I hear the song all day long, shows me that this is pretty close to home.

When I listen to music, I listen as if God was singing to me.. every note, every word is a breath of magic intended to tickle the depths of my being. Anyway, in this context, the message that songs you are interested in becomes very powerful. In this case, the song rattles me at the core:


This occurs to me as a reminder and a red-flag, that my egoic self -- my feeble mind -- has taken over the steering wheel once again and has been preventing my divine nature from fully being expressed. In the non-dual sense, there is nothing wrong with this state or condition. However, for me, it is not what I am committed to. I made the choice a long time ago to give my life to God and now it seems that I have wavered in that choice.

Pretty harsh? Well, if you have not made the same commitments, I could see how this might sound harsh. If you accept that I see this song as a conversation between God and my egoic mind, then you can understand that cutting the mind at the root with harsh words is sometimes necessary!

Is there an action to take? Yes! I will smile, celebrate the message I have received and relax into my heart once again, knowing that there is never anything to fear.

How often do you think about the size of your heart? Not your physical heart, silly, but your spiritual heart, your emotional heart, your etheric heart?

Well, I tend to spend more time there than *thinking* about it, and I am just so amazed at the capacity it has for experiencing and sharing love. And just when you think it couldn't get any bigger, someone magical walks into your life and shows you just how small your heart is and BLAMMO, here you are, deeply in love with yet another aspect of you... a part of you that you were so afraid to acknowledge before, so afraid you could not even see it, and now that you have seen it, you can't stop integrating it into your daily experience...

This diet comes from the Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital that is used for overweight heart patients in order to lose weight rapidly, usually prior to surgery.

There is a candle in your heart,
ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul,
ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
You feel the separation
from the Beloved.
Invite Him to fill you up,
embrace the fire.
Remind those who tell you otherwise that
Love
comes to you of its own accord,
and the yearning for it
cannot be learned in any school.

awesome graffiti spotted on the way to work today

There is so much joy in my heart it just wants to explode. If you look, I know you will see it in your heart too.

I just got a new phone and was tinkering with it and thought I would share with you my morning in photos. I was snapping these shots like every three minutes or so, as my commute to the office is only like 20 minutes. Enjoy!

I guess I have a every couple of month LJ.

I also have this addiction to Law and Order SVU. It is such a dumb show, but I can't stop watching it on my Tivo. I think we have like 60+ episodes sitting there. Perps and Vics all doing heinous things.. so very entertaining.

Well, the usual stuff.. work is going good.. has been slowing down a bit to where I can have a more normal schedule. When I get home, however, I am not ready to do much.. kinda in a slump that way, but it does take time to regenerate. I have been starting to venture out into the world and take one some other more inspiring projects -- focusing on my Reiki and teaching classes, etc.

Hope you are all doing well!
