About Me

“The moment inbetween what you once were, and who you are now becoming, is where the dance of life really takes place.” ~ Barbara De Angelis "Nothing happens without personal transformation." I decided one day I wanted to change. I wanted more from life. I realized that if you want more, YOU have to make it happen. You have to go to it and create it. The most powerful weapon against a mediocre life is practice. And just like a fire, the human spirit needs to be lit again each day.

An Assignment from Seattle!

It is almost midnight here in South Carolina.

As I lay out on the grass in my front lawn, I look up to the sky. I'm just staring. I close my eyes for a brief moment and just breathe...listen and feel. (This may become a nightly ritual now...what if it is raining? Hmmm...)

Wow! It really is gorgeous out here. I always love the outdoors, but I never do this. I never just lay down on my front lawn and gaze up to the sky.

The moon is bright white...almost hurts my eyes to look. It is very powerful, and I am not. I feel humbled now. I am so small...yet it seems so close to me at the same time as if I could reach up and grab it. It lights my paper for my pen to write.

It is almost midnight, and sky is blue! Wow! It's a bit chilly out, but I'm over dressed. I remove my beanie and my down jacket. I'm now wearing just a fleece Omni-Therm by Columbia Sportswear.

The wind is calm to none. The air feels crisp and moist. It feels good in my nostrils as I breathe.

I can see stars glisten and white clouds are moving. I can't believe I can see white clouds on a blue sky at midnight!!! Strange...I'm getting goose bumps.

As i lay here, I inhale and exhale slowly. I say "Let" "Go". "Let" (inhale) "Go" (exhale)..."let" (inhale) "go" (exhale). ...Repeat!!!
