Our desires shouldn't

be tied to people

or objects, but rather

to the experiences

we wish to have.

I finally return

and what do

I find myself

doing, now?

Yes, I'm leaving

again. I'm off

to the beach

to enjoy

some sun

and surf

with my

beautiful

family.

The good

news is that

we'll only

be gone

a week.

Try not

to miss me

too much!

A single gift of love

can undo an entire day

of dissapointment.

Where have I been? I suppose it's a bit more of where haven't I been? I went to visit my mom with Frankie. My mother decided to break her ankle our first morning there (Yipee). When my darling daughter and I arrived home, we discovered that we have a new puppy in the house (is it just me, or does house breaking a pup suck?). And then it was time for Frankie's 4th birthday party. That's always our big party of the year and requires alot more planning than it should (not to mention the cost)

Me? Too busy to blog? Definately! But I missed you guys!!

Life requires of us a

balance and continuity

between our thoughts

and our actions.

"There is nothing greater than thank you.

Thank you is what you say to God. "

- Maya Angelou

I had a topic in mind and then I heard her say this. It is the very essence of where I wanted to go with this post. This is a post about the natural and unnatural states of unconditional love. The natural being in the giving and the unnatural being in the receiving. For all of us there is a desire to earn the love we are given. We need to feel worthy of it in our own eyes. Love someone unconditionally and you will get one of two results, a building up of the spirit with renewed vigor to greater heights or a complete shutting down and a distance put up to push that love away. This is true even in the unconditional love of ourselves. It is so very natural and even instinctual to love ourselves. It is in the receiving that we so often fall short. Know that gratitude is a magnet to all things good because it is there that we make our claim to be open to that good. It is with this in mind that I say to myself,

"Thank you."

Anniversary

It's the one year anniversary

of Land of the Goddess!!

This is a great opportunity for you guys

to all have a good laugh on me.

I had never blogged before...

nor did I know what a blog was.

So, I thought it was like a little journal,

but what I didn't know was that

there was a whole world of bloggers

out there that could come to my space.

Well, you can imagine my suprise the

first time someone I didn't know

left me a comment.

(Yeah, you're laughing now.)

Well, my first couple of dialogues didn't

go well at all. As a matter of fact,

one of them ended up getting pretty ugly.

Then enter Wayward Bill, my very first real

msn friend. From there the whole world

opened up and I've been lucky

to meet some really amazing people.

Today, I celebrate you all and all the joy

and laughs we've shared!

To celebrate, I want to repost some favorites!!

First, my all time favorite...
