You have to have a dream...

"you have to have a dream,
if you don't have a dream,
how you gonna have a dream come true?"

Over the last few years there has been a lot of writing regarding "The Law of Attraction". It doesn't matter if you believe the principle or if you view it as metaphysical garbage. If you don't set goals and have a direction to head then all you do is wander.

I have always believed that staying true to yourself will help you find your path. It is amazing that dreams can remain in the deepest corner of your heart. Then one day you turn around and someone has found the way to shine the light on that dream and allow it it finally bloom.

Comfort Zones

Comfort zones and routines are a way of avoiding vulnerabilities. Most the time it is easier to stay in one place versus opening yourself up to your demons. The risk of admitting that you are scared to rely on another person can be terrifying. Isolationism can become the cape we wrap around us to protect from the fears of rejection and abandonment.

It is only by showing our weaknesses that we are also able to show our strengths. It is by removing our capes that we can allow situations to help us grow. It is also the only way that we can take those chances to connect with our fellow man.

This is how we enter the cosmic connection of love in the universe.

Long time silent

It has bothered me that I have refrained from blogging for a very long time. I still harbor guilt over the fact I never finished blogging about my second trip to Israel. RCG was such a great host and we had a great time. I am very grateful for the opportunities that my friendship allows for traveling to visit her.

Back in February I was blessed with the chance to go see Miss Nancy Wilson (www.missnancywilson.com). I was raised around incredible music from the 60's and 70's. One of my favorite LP's, which I still own (and have no way to play), is a 1970's release entitled "Can't take my Eyes Off of You". So when the rare appearance at Yoshi's in Oakland (www.yoshis.com) was announced in December I decided that would be my birthday present to myself.

My good friends KT and TT traveled out to Oakland and we all had dinner at Yoshi's and then saw the concert. But it was during the second show that I stayed and was chatting with the gal at my table that I realized a few things. One that life is short. Another that love is always worth the risk to your heart. That even if "Never Will I Marry" has been my theme song that someone can come along and remind me how love can resonate in the heart.
