Ponderings, Recipes

This and That

Just a quick post, update I suppose….

When I started posting poetry, most of the poems were from a collection of jottings and journaling. Memories of years gone by. I did begin writing some new material, yet I felt there was more I wanted to explore.

The last few months, mingled in with holidays, SNOW, a bunch of other funky stuff, MORE SNOW, you get my drift ( lol couldn’t help it 😉 ) I’ve been writing, noticing, listening, pondering.

Playing with perspectives is a big part of it. Choices based on  Or not depending on the choiceof Societies RULES. Following the pack, being like EVERYONE ELSE or not. It’s simple and extremely difficult at the same time.

My Cousin said something to me that was one of those perspective changing moments. I can’t even remember exactly how he said it. Basically, past hurts prevent future experiences.

We write our own story every day.  It can be what ever we choose.

How often do we remember that, throughout  our hectic day?

Currently I’m working on posting  some random writing, poems, affirmations  and recipes. Mostly I’m working on my story  and enjoying the arrival of spring.

Also,  cooking is a hobby of mine, an edible science project! I would love your feedback. (I just need to start taking more pictures) Always seems better as a collaborative effort.

Diving Boards and Boarding Passes

3 Comments

This is going to be quick. I’m sorry I’ve not posted sooner. It’s been a chaotic few days….

My friend, Nicholas had an amazing post and I want to share it with you today.

Please go and read this post, and then read as many as you can!

He inspired me to finally publish this blog, as I was fearful. Baring your soul to the world is a bit intimidating!

Each and every day, he spends his time uplifting others. His message, his attitude, his candor are all AMAZING!

So, what does that have to do with diving boards?

Our OUTLOOK

Are you the type to stick a toe in and wade down, or do you just jump right in?

Can you dive off the high dive? or only the side of the pool?

Do you check the depths of the water or go full-boar, head first?

These are questions that relate to life as well. It’s that balance we all try to achieve on a daily basis.

And what I’ve learned is getting a toe wet first accomplishes nothing for me! Diving in right away, I always find myself injured lol, because usually the “water” wasn’t deep enough, and of course I forgot to check!

That is my biggest challenge on a daily basis! Blogs like nicholasdagostino.com  help me stay motivated and at the same time promote focus and balance.

I highly recommend you listen to his poem, titled “Gravity”, read his blog and begin your journey.

His book is titled “I’M READY FOR TAKEOFF” and he has begun a great new email campaign, so go now and get your BOARDING PACT and begin your new life! You will be so glad you did!
