Wise Words From The Late George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend
more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses
and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more
degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts,
yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.We talk too
much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.We’ve added years to
life not life to years.We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but
have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered
outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not
better things.

We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.We’ve conquered the
atom, but not our prejudice.We write more, but learn less.We plan more,
but accomplish less.We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.We build more
computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever,
but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships.These are the days of
two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.These are
days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night
stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to
quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window
and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this
letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this
insight, or to just hit delete…

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.

Remember to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes
from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.

Back On Track!

Greetings!

It’s been a while since I’ve had time to blog. I hope you are all well.  Things have been wild and wonderful for me the last few weeks.  The beginning of 2009 started off with a cosmic punch in the stomach and I’ve been run ragged learning, growing, and dealing with cosmic challenges.  Thankfully as of March 1st, the universe decided to cut me some slack and it’s been smooth sailing ever since.  I’m working on three major things right now : Passwords the book project (www.passwordsthebook.com) , co-hosting international channeller Judy Satori in May (www.thesoundoflight.com) and working in Owen Sound, Ontario with a great bunch of ladies (www.memorygardensretreat.com).

I am excited about all three and all three are my new babies.  It sure does take a lot to hold space for things to grow but I am happy to be busy and engaged in the process of connection and community development.  Something is in the air as they say and I am really looking forward to seeing what the universe has in store for me and for all of you.  We are living wonderous times.  Wahooooooooooo! Hold onto your hats.  It is goign to be a wild ride!
