Art: Photos From New York

Goodbye Flower Moon Hello Strawberry Moon

Keeping time is an ancient art.  Here in New York, Memorial Day and the prelude to it, resembles the epic ships coming into the harbor carrying many men with white caps and tan caps. Excuse me, many men and women with said respectable caps are seen in  pairs, solo, groups, touring the city.  Gracing the city if you will.


 This year, I really felt the significance and the dramatic quality and observance of this day.


Just below 23 rd street , I saw the ships stunningly approaching their destination. If ever , I saw a ship on the Hudson, never before, have I seen one with such presence.  yachts , tourist boats, look nice in the setting sun, but this was entirely different. this had history. It was, as I said "epic".


The day before , I got a glimpse of the freedom tower . I was visiting a friend who had a lovely view of the Hudson River and there it was, the new Freedom Tower.


I don't really want to write any more on this topic .  except that , I hope to one day fully realize the significance of Memorial Day. I don't know if that is even possible. The scope of what our ancestors and fellow countrymen have done for us,  and it just seemed strange that we , or most of us had the day off.
So many men and women have given their lives, and can we fathom, can we take pause to know what they gave for us? Will we as a nation ,  realize what America really means?

On a brighter note, I got a taco from a local Mexican restaurant, and I saw the most beautiful image: the sun holding the moon.

Tony Awards

Theater is sacred and the weekend is sacred. However, I know that some New Yorkers, and perhaps Americans,  do not have a traditional weekend off.  So,  you figure out what that means.


I was excited that the Tony Awards were on tonite.  But, for some leap of faith, I began gardening at 6 pm and as any gardener can attest,  got lost gardening beyond sunset and did not land in front of my television until 915.


I did get to see Neil Patrick Harris' Medley , and a beautiful Sheryl Crow right after that , then following for me the highlights of the night.

 Clybourne Park winning best play, and the  speeches, their representatives said it all. Until Hugh Jackman received an award from the presenter: his wife. Well, both these moments were amazing.

Tyler Perry also was a gracious presence.


This weekend was amazing, and like many people,  do not want it to end.

Briskly, 2012, keeps moving along.

Goodnight Mr. Chips, I mean Mr. Big

New York Got MoJo

I wonder what the electrical charge was last night around Times Square just before sun down.  The Theater District always enticing. I mean there is always a mystique no matter what time of day it is. Do you agree?

While I was walking by the Broadway Play, A Streetcar named Desire,  I saw a group of four people meet, and a photographer snap a photo in tandem. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mr. Big, well,  not really, I saw the the man, the actor ( with beard and mustache) Chris Noth among the four people.

This week I went to see The Medieval Play at the Signature Center. This play is a hold no prisoners comedy. The eight ensemble actors move the play along with such skill, fun, and energy. A big bravo to them and the writer Kenneth Lonergan! Oh and a bravo for the fight choreographer David Brimmer. It is a short run so go see this joust.

There you have it, the old and the new : a touch of theater in the ever changing New York City.

Holey Batman, Robin it's been way too long

Dear Readers,

Okay , so here it is middle of May , almost square on  middle of the year, or triangle on middle of the year, depending on your sacred geometry, and which angle you are viewing from.

Top five reasons I have been away from blogging:

 1. I was re-engaged in the study of Reiki and became a Reiki Master for the second time.
 2. Loreal has been keeping me busy by playing with my hair.
 3. Getting certified from Master Jeffrey Yuen in Healing with Gemstones and Minerals.
 4. Gratefully applying my new certification of Postural Corrective Massage in my massage practice.
 5. Catching up on films , great theater, and gardening.

Here are 5 things I wish were on the list:

 1. visiting my family
 2. dance classes
 3.  drinking elixers with my friends and going into a vision inspired trance
 4.  meeting with Steven Spielberg
 5. Playing with the children in my life

Luckily , yesterday , my colleague was throwing a nerf football  around with her daughter and invited me to partake in the sport.

Hey we have a solar eclipse coming up on sunday. Make your wish list !

Keep your health #1 on your list.

 For ice cream lovers,"holey", in the blog title , is inspired by Holey Cream a new delicious ice cream place in New York City. Try the low fat vanilla peanut butter twist frozen yogurt.

Allow me to share  an inspired photo I took of a fluorite crystal singing in the sun.

 Enjoy the gazing.

Brightest Blessings,

Bubbles of Laughter to You and Yours,

Saint Patrick's Day Weekend

Quite Lucky this year, St. Patty's Day fell on a saturday. The city was buzzing early on in the morning. The energy was very uplifting.

While I was buying fabric in the fashion district the attendant said to me, "Be Happy Always."

Can you imagine that?

Here are some photos of the day.

Steve Cohen, the modern day magician extraordinaire gave a performance that was quite literally astonishing. If you ever get the chance to see him perform, you will believe in magic. It was a blessing and gift to witness his performance friday night at the Waldorf Astoria Towers.

So, brave humans, stay inspired as we move into Spring this week.

Come visit me at the New Life Expo at the New Yorker Hotel, March 23rd- March 25th, Friday thru Sunday. You can catch up with me at booth number 126.

The Year Of The Dragon: A Chinese Proverb

If you ignore the dragon it will eat you.

If you try to confront the dragon it will overpower you.

But if you ride the dragon you will take advantage of its might and power.
