Adventure
December 6th, 2010 by Elizabeth
What do you think of when you hear the word “adventure”? All kinds of images can be conjured up.
But adventure doesn’t always have to be wild and woolly. You can go on great adventures in your mind–whether it be through reading an exciting book or just wandering the hills and plains of the earth with your imagination. No matter how you bring adventure into your life, I highly recommend that you do it. Adventure is a wonderful form of stimulation and helps us to connect and feel alive. A stagnant life can be dull and commonplace, leading us to frustration, complacency, and sometimes depression. A happy life is one filled with variety and excitement. So look for adventure when you can –even if it’s just a game of hide-and-seek with your niece and nephew. When the creativity and fun flows, so does your life force. So if you are in your comfort box (my way of saying your comfort zone), jump out and experience LIFE!
Where can YOU find adventure???
Your Life…Your Choice

Will it take a close call to wake us up to the preciousness of our time here? We are eternal, but our linear time is finite. When you truly see that and understand the deeper meaning, your perspective will totally change.

The Glorious Melodies Of Life
January 15th, 2009 by Elizabeth
Years ago I worked as a department manager at a Target store in south central Jersey. I must admit that I just flat out hated it. And one of the things that bothered me the most was the fact that there wasn’t (and still isn’t) any piped-in music in ANY Target store. The result of some silly survey I was told. But without the lovely tones of some generic musak piece in the background, there was nothing to detract from that voice in my head that was yelling, “get me outta here!” And the silence was enough to drive me crazy. But then there was the stockroom. Oh yes! The stockroom! I was always so thrilled if a customer couldn’t find something on the shelf and I had to go see what was in stock. Know why I was so excited? Because they were playing music back there! Even if those crazy stock boys were playing rap or some insane heavy metal, I would be smiling and moving to the beat! The tension would leave my body even for just a brief moment, and I would be reminded of LIFE.
Yes, that is what music is. It is Life. It stirs our inner being. It touches our hearts. It reminds us of love, passion, and beauty while it fills us with joy and peace. With its simplicity it can bring a tear or a smile or even remind us of all the somethings that are beyond this 3-D dimension. And with its power it can remind us to breathe, to become present, to feel our hearts beating with the breath of Life.
Ahhh…the power of music.
And with that I would like to share with you a glorious re-make of a song I know you all know, but when I heard it I fell in love. In love with that moment, in love with the piercing beauty of the melody, in love with All That Is. Yes, some of you may say that I’m a cornball, but that is how I would describe to you what was invoked within me as I heard the beauty of this amazing woman’s voice.
Open your heart as you listen to the Beauty that is Eva Cassidy. I hope you will join me in this simple bit of rapture.
