Ruby Tuesday

This past Yule time holiday season in New York City I hailed a cab,  you know , those yellow bubble like vehicles that have talking screens that loop over and over the same pre- recorded information. What ever happened to stopping and smelling the roses? Mac Davis?

It was Christmas day to be exact,  and unbeknownst to me when I got in to the taxi,  one of my ruby earrings fell out. When I arrived at my destination I noticed it was gone,  being hopeful thought I would find it.
When I arrived back home, I decided to retrace my steps and sure enough,  I found it  curbside at the exact location where I got into the taxi.  That was one of my miracles of Christmas.  I hope you dear readers are having a miraculous 2013 filled with safety, blessings, and wisdom.




Speaking of learning.  If it is not too personal , can you share any of the lessons that you have learned so far this year?

My biggest lesson so far this new year is:

1. Choose your heroes wisely.

2.No matter how cold it gets during Winter, Winter can be the most magical of all the seasons because it allows more receptive clear listening. Winter is a great time to nourish the kidney yin energy. One Japanese gardener in my neighborhood mystified me as he shared the following wisdom while he was caring for a bonsai tree. He said winter is the most important season to care for  the plants. So, I leave you with this to ponder and act on: What actions can you take this winter to care for your own life more?


Here we are approaching another holiday, Valentine's Day, and I ask you to channel the Muse Cleo, and Remember Love. Recall Love to make amazing new memories that will resonate into the future with resounding joy.

Today, I shot a segment for Valentine's Day. Here is a photo taken by the editor of the shoot featuring William Herck,  videographer, and myself. Thanks to both of them we had a guided, successful and fun time. Please enjoy the photo here of the cardinal bird who came out to say hello during the January thaw this week, which began with 360 degrees of sunshine on Sunday. A big thank you to January 2013, father time, you rock. Mother Earth we love you in all your grandeur and moods. Love is in fashion for all seasons.
