"When you start using senses you’ve neglected, your reward is to see the world with completely fresh eyes." -Barbara Sher
Scented Medicinal Baths have become my very favorite hobby, second to my music collection...Learning about and using Essential Oils another: sandalwood, vanilla orchid, lilac, wedding bells, buttercream, woodstock, white tea, red rose, gardenia. Love to dry and make teas and scented bath salts with rosemary, sage, elderberry, frankincense tears, lemonbalm, dandelion.

Thank you for the gift of life,
For letting me be me,
For all that I can know by words
And all that I can see,
For all the music I can hear
And all the songs I sing,
For all the joy that comes to me
And all the joy I bring,
For all the food that I can taste
And all the sweet scents smell,
For all the loved ones I can touch,
Who love and wish me well,
For all the beauty of the world,
Ever fresh and new,
I don't know whom else I can thank,
And so I'm thanking you.

Being a part of starting my own family {first the right man and then our lives combined, ya know--light stuff like that-ha!}...Making time to be outdoors/Not being on the internet....Eureka Springs, paytrust.com, Peet's coffee, Scrabble with Beau till the wee hours of the a.m. and the very last tile, music, writing, writing, writing, children, dreaming, singing, eloping, cold cajun pasta, staying young inside and growing up all at once, (a sheer chore at times) natural things and natural people... simplifying what need not be complicated, focus and devotion...keeping it singular. Yes. Very simple...with my hands in the dirt, planting some herbs and flowers and hosing off my feet afterward. That's the life, if you ask me.

A shocking and worthwhile documentary from a sincere American; Producer Aaron Russo. I learned more about the IRS and our government than I am pleased about. It is imperative, in the name of patriotism, that we view this film and become more educated as American tax payers. Please make the time:
"If we pay the salaries of the congressmen and the senators, we're supporting them, aren't we? Well, yes. Well then why can't we list them as dependents and deduct them?" -American Film 1950. Income tax is the instrument of totalitarianism. It is the means by which the government can manipulate people.
At some time in your life, if you are selected to be a juror in a case involving someone who has not paid income tax, simply ask the judge, "Show me the statute written by Congress that allows the government to tax the wages of the American people." If the judge can't show you the law, then how can you possibly convict someone and destroy their life?--- that the average American citizen is required to pay income tax."
There is NO LAW.
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." -Goethe

The 1880's Victorian Times... I have a home that was built in 1885 and I feel it is more like a person than a thing. I like soul in a home. I love corsets, flowing gowns, drinking tea and reading a news paper. Things were simpler then, and people were more easily close and truly treasured. They spent TIME together. I wish I could live in this time born from 1880-1946. Yes, those were the days I admire. I think technology brings us wonderful things, except that it dissolves real human connection--in person connection--it tries to make it passe, outmoded. Let's try to spend time together more, to balance the many benefits of technology, can we? Please. I think it subtly, but surely, effects our world in profoundly deep and balancing ways. I wonder if our world's intense agitation and present horrendous conflict, more acutely evident as than in recent years, has any kind of direct or indirect correlation to the rise, the inevitable climb of technological systems? Hmmm. Here's a reverie for you...one I like to roam around and play in:

I'd like to meet fellow Siddha's like me.
Go here to learn about the ashram in L.A. and all about the beauty of Siddha Yoga practices:
~CLICK HERE!:THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF SIDDHA YOGA~
â₁“Honor your Self. Worship your Self. Meditate on your Self. God dwells within you as you.â€Â? â₉€œSwami Muktananda
Imagine looking at the world you live in, and recognizing divinity in everything you see and everyone you meet. Imagine facing every situation in your life with the unwavering strength and delight that come from the certainty of the divine presence within you.
The Siddha Yoga teachings assert that this attainment is not only possible, it is our birthright. The goal of the Siddha Yoga path is Self-realization -- the unceasing experience of yoga, or unity with God. Within each of us, behind the mind, the body, the ego, is a divine power. We practice yoga to recognize this divine power, the Self, and harmonize all our actions, thoughts, and words with it. The key to this divine vision of ourselves and the world is shaktipat,or spiritual awakening. When we receive shaktipat, we gain entry to our inner spiritual realms. Then, through our practices, our own spiritual awareness unfolds. The Siddha Yoga teachings are made easily available to seekers around the world through the work of the SYDA Foundation.
Gurumayi Chidvilasananda, as head of the Siddha Yoga lineage, continues a sacred tradition of making shaktipat available to seekers. Under the guidance of her teachings, Siddha Yoga students embrace the spiritual practices of yoga including meditation, chanting, contemplation and study, and selfless service, as the means to the goal of Self-realization.
The Siddha Yoga teachings spring from the timeless
