Always Time to Evolve

 

"I think one of the 

most beautiful truths 

about life is that you

can begin again at any

time.  There is always

room to evolve, to

grow beyond who you

were, and to step into

a stronger, wiser

version of yourself."  

A Good Mantra

 

You are Braver

than you believe

Stronger

than you seem,

Smarter 

than you think

and Loved

more than you know.  

Potato Galette

 A couple weeks ago I made my first apple galette, today I tried a new recipe for a potato’s galette. We have a surplus of potatoes. I’ll be trying all kinds of dishes with the spuds. Kinda like that scene from Forrest Gump. “You can make em mashed, souffléd, stuffed, French fried…”

 

Then and Now

 I recently posted a picture of my 1 1/2 year old grandson Michael looking suspiciously at the Easter Bunny while his 10 year old sister Sofia is holding him. I just found this photo from 8 years ago with Sofia standing next to a much weirder alien looking rabbit! She surprisingly doesn’t look freaked out! I would have been.

 

April 2nd Walk at Signal Hill and Ramen

 It was a brisk sunny morning walk up on signal hill. The sky was clear and the panoramic view was nice. We were reminded of what a great view this is. There was enough briskness in the air to inspire a bowl of hot ramen for lunch. We found a spot that has $3.00 Sapporo beer (all day happy hour. ) We are happy campers.

 

We Are All Just Walking Each Other Home

 I asked my friend for a book recommendation and then I googled a review which ended with a quote by Baba Ram Dass “We are all just walking each other home.” That’s one of my favorite quotes. I then googled the quote and this poem popped up. It’s a good message so I’m sharing with you. Peace be with you all.

"It's a well known way to view life

As a Path we all must take

The Path can be rough or smooth

Depending on choices we make.

We can travel on our track alone

or with a close and trusted friend

Their presence gives us support

As we navigate the dips and bends

Varied loved ones will accompany us

Along the majority of our life path

The love we share gives us direction

The joy lightens our way as we laugh,

But where does this pathway begin?

And where does it go to, and end?

Or is it a vast circular Highway

We want to know, to comprehend

I believe the two points are the same

From Source we arrive at our birth

Wandering along to find our own route

the reason we decided to come to Earth

Experiencing the joys and the beauty

Giving unconditional love to one and all

Discovering our unique gift to share

is the true path we all came here for

Sharing our love and our gifts

With any who join us on our roam

Enlightenment comes to let us know

We are just walking each other home." -Tina Graves 2016 

 

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

 I got a haircut a week ago.  I asked for just a trim, maybe an inch off. 

This is the look I was asking for:

 My hairdresser gave me this:
