What a Beautiful Night For Star Gazing * ** ** ** * *

The stillness of the night adorned with the subtle scents of Autumn approaching. A symphony of crickets and katydids serenade the night. Time quickly passing. Take a moment, put down all those gadgets and take a moment of me time. Step outside, open a window. Pause-Breathe-Take in the Night. With childlike wonder gaze upon the stars. Think back to the days of starry summer nights which provides inspiration, moments looking into the heavens at a universe so greater than One's self. Take a moment to enjoy :o) (the following song just has a bit of a feel of a balmy August night. Take Care XOXO

Food For Thought: "It's not personal, it's just business."

I've never known a person who confesses to being bad. Everyone tends to consider themselves Good People. Even a serial killer And child pornographers can find a way of thinking to rationalize their deeds. Perhaps today, and everyday, step back from decisions and deeds, close your eyes, take a deep breathe and look at the day from every angle. We are born with a moral compass. A primal instinct of right and wrong. Look beyond the day into the purpose and passion of your existence and listen to your intuition. Cliché notions such as 'its not personal...yadda yadda', and 'dog eat dog world' are merely excuses for bad behavior. Don't silence your humanity and empathy chasing money and power.

sweet little tune...

Thank You To those who took the time to give me the heads up regarding page over run of text n' photos, as well as lengthy page loads...

Okay , this is the deal. And yes, I'll fix it,... all in good time I suppose. The lengthy page loads are when I post a shit load of videos to consecutive posts or in a single post. The youtube embeds and the google gadgets tend to piss of the browser. Once I nix a few gadgets and refrain from the video mix tapes you should have an quicker n' easier page load. The over lapping content, well , that's a bit of a pain in the butt, however, all in good time. Please be patient and thank you again. HOpe you enjoy the posts and that it brings joy to your day. Take Care & Smile Much -xoxo- Betsy
