My dear friend Mark sent me the above quote, and jokingly claimed it was his motto in life, especially after he bought his beloved "Dreamcatcher" Harley. Since Mark loved quotes as much as I do, he also sent me this next one to inspire me to regain my cheerful perspective and mend my broken heart during a particularly challenging point of my life: "The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." He and I were best buds for many years, and brought out the best in each other as we maneuvered our way through the mine field of being single again. Both of our long term marriages ended up leaving us with more questions than answers about what constitutes a "healthy" relationship. We helped each other become whole again as individuals by
cherishing the depth of our friendship, while "calling each other on our shit" whenever it was deemed necessary. I will miss him always. Bear Hugs, Much Love, and Happy Trails to my beautiful friend, Markie Mark. R.I.P. Gone, but NOT forgotten!

I'd like to meet:
Aside from enjoying all the great music, I'll be content to meet up with some old friends, make new ones, and connect with like minded individuals around the planet.
" Here is one of my most favorite writings. Hopefully, you can relate to this as well as I do. It's called "The Invitation" by Oriah Mountaindreamer--
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love,
for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life’s betrayals
or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain,
mine or your own,
without moving to hide it,
or fade it,
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy,
mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to
be careful,
be realistic,
remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me
is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
If you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty,
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failures,
yours and mine,
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.â€
It doesn’t interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up
after the night of grief and despair,
weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the center of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom
you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone
with yourself,
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
Mountaindreaming, from the book "The Invitation"

CURRENT MOON about the moon
In loving memory of Mark Prieto, for I'll always consider him to be one of my most awesome, funny, cherished, and dearest friends. I dedicate Skynyrd's live video of "Free Bird," because Mark's sudden passing (due to a brain aneurysm) has left all his friends feeling just as lost and full of loneliness as I've been since the end of July. Anyway, as Mark would say, "Dang, Girl. WTF is up with the friggin' blue mood? Life goes on, memories remain, and you know I'm always only a thought away. So get off the pity pot, turn the volume WAY the f#*k UP, flash me one of your huge smiles, and LET'S ROCK!!"

"Survival of the world depends on our sharing what we have, and working together. If we do not, the whole world will die. First the planet, and next the people."
~ Frank Fools Crow, late Lakota Medicine Man

"You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that THIS is the Hour,
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth,
Create your community,
Be good to each other,
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.
Know this river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
push off into the middle of the river,
keep our eyes open, and our heads above water.
See who is in there with you and celebrdee
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally,
Least of all, ourselves,
For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We ARE the ones we have been waiting for ..."
The Elders -- Hopi Nation

Last, but not least, I'll pass on what I received from my friend, a Lakota Chief in South Dakota.
George Carlin on Indians…
Now the Indians. I call them “Indians†because that's what they are.
They're Indians. There's nothing wrong with the word Indian.
First of all, it's important to know that the word Indian does not derive from Columbus mistakenly believing he had reached “India.†India was not even called by that name in 1492 - it was known as Hindustan.
The word Indian comes from Columbus' description of the people he found here. He was an Italian, and did not speak or write very good Spanish, so in his written accounts he called the Indians, “Una gente in Dios.†“A people in God.†In God. In Dios. Indians. It's a perfectly noble and respectable word.
As far as calling them “Americans†is concerned, do I even have to point out what an insult this is? We occupy their hemisphere, kill sixty to a hundred million or so of them, destroy five hundred separate cultures, herd the survivors onto the worst land we can find - and now we want to name them after ourselves?
It's appalling. Haven't we done enough damage? Do we have to further degrade them by tagging them with the repulsive name of their conquerors? But are they really “conquered?!†What about the ones still here – are they chopped liver!?
You know, you'd think it would be a fairly simple thing to come over to this continent, commit genocide, eliminate the forests, dam up the rivers, build our malls and massage parlors, sell our blenders and whoopee cushions, poison ourselves with chemicals, and let it go at that. But no. We have to compound the insult!
I'm glad the Indians have gambling casinos now. It makes me happy that dimwitted white people are losing their rent money to the Indians. Maybe the Indians will get lucky and win their country back. Probably wouldn't want it. Look at what we did to it.

Take the quiz:
Which Egyptian God or Goddess do you represent? (Pictures!) Hathor, Goddess of Love and Happiness Hathor is often depicted as an evil woman, one that attempted to seduce men and the take advantage of them. Although she is a goddess of fertility, Hathor was a very kind goddess. She protected women from men and their evil. She loved all very much and also enjoyed dancing.
What a great goddess to be associated with! You are one of those people that everyone likes, that everyone wants to be friends with.

You are one of those people that love all no matter how they feel back.
