Happy Holidays XOXO

A Morning Mix Tape For Those Feeling a Wee Bit Frazzled By The Holiday Rush...

Feeling Stressed? Holiday Music Overload? Perhaps give a listen, shift your perspective & remember all that you really have is this very moment. No guarantee of tomorrow, nor for your loved ones (yeah, pretty depressing indeed, however, it makes this moment in time so precious... so seize it) Remember, what's done is done, the past is in the past, and love is power. Jot down on a post-it the following question and stick where you are sure to see, and perhaps in the line of sight of others as well.... " Do You Want To Be Right - Or Do You Want To Be Happy ?!?!?"

cheerio , pip pip and all that jaz :)

Never Far From My Thoughts..... xox

"In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' What I've discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away." -Iyanla Vanzant

 "Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen. "-Pete Carroll

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

just 4 smiles.....

and just because....

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.

Happened across this ol' ditty when looking for the kind n' generous embed....

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

A Bit Of Food For Thought Through Quotes & Song

"All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything." -Swami Vivekananda


"If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That's the entrance to Oneness. That's the space I entered when I met my guru." -Ram Dass


"It's difficult to believe in yourself because the idea of self is an artificial construction. You are, in fact, part of the glorious oneness of the universe. Everything beautiful in the world is within you."    - Russell Brand


"Music can also be a sensual pleasure, like eating food or sex. But its highest vibration for me is that point of taking us to a real understanding of something in our nature which we can very rarely get at. It is a spiritual state of oneness."  - Terry Riley

Have A Great Day :o)

Count Your Blessings & Think Happy Thoughts (... though, don't ignore unpleasant thoughts or circumstances nor push them down. Acknowledge that which isn't happen go luckily, imagine the worst that could happen and then how you would handle it if it did. To every issue there are multiple resolutions before you, find that which is most feasible. If that doesn't work try something else. Trying looking at things from a different perspective. Bounce your thoughts off of others to obtain the opinion of someone who doesn't have a dog in the fight.) Anywho, Take Care & Smile Much..
