Along the Way...

So many things have happened globally -
The Malaysian Airlines that disappeared into the Indian Ocean and never recovered, then another Malaysian Airlines that was shot by a Russian missile into the sea - What a curse, God forbid!!
And another plane crash, Asian Air, intothe Java Sea just recently but fortunately recovered
The Ebola Outbreak, ISIS, Terrorism in Paris and Europe, The Black Killings by White Cops in Missouri and New York
US-Cuba Relationship rekindled, that's good news, at least!


And locally, on Sports -
Another World Series Championship for SF Giants!!! God, I watched the whole World Series, so excited and proud, but just never had the urge to write about it.
SF49ers OUT!! - Forget it!

And many more events worldwide, mostly bad news... What is the whole world coming to??

Meanwhile, personally not caring for the world 'round me, I became a couch potato, not exercising, doing nothing. I watched some TV movies here and there with Norman, and there were those that particularly entertained and inspired me with nice dialogues that kept me going during my low points. One says, "You must do the thing you think you cannot do."- The Roosevelts on PBS - Right on.

THE CHEF, story of a chef who was fired from work.  He tells her girlfriend he was totally lost and she says, "Sometimes that's a good place to start." - WOW!

Another TV movie, ZERO THEOREM, more like a digital video game movie, I didn't like at all, I fell asleep on the couch while Norman was totally entertained. But somehow, I could hear here and there and the one that  really  clicked were these words, "Nothing lasts forever so there's no need to worry." - How cool is that!

I bought some books, too, and started reading THE ELEMENT about how finding your passion changes everything and FINDING YOUR ELEMENT on how to discover your talents and passions and transform your life by Ken Robinson with Lou Aronica. Inspired by stories of the BEATLES' Paul McCartney, Gillian Lynne, one of the most accomplished choreographers of our time, and others, I thought, they found their one element in life, the one thing they wanted to do in their lives, and they did it to be who they really were. Splendid! But what if you have other passions? Or love one, and like the others, but the one you love most is not earning you enough money so you have to be realistic and do the others to help you financially support the one you love the most? I'm one of those with many passions, so what do I do? Music is my passion, but discovered through my birth chart (jyotish) that I had a knack for health and medicine, too. And as my vedic astrologer (jyotishee), Mark Kincaid, said in one of our readings recently, "... and don't forget your writing, too."
After that conversation, I knew I was going back to writing/blogging again.

And remember how I would talk about how God whispers to us, how Nature gives us gentle reminders?
I saw these words at Starbucks -  All Is Bliss.
And on a tote bag at Calzone at North Beach - Life is a Special Occasion.

I tell ya, God loves Starbucks.
And "The Devil Wears Prada"?! God loves tote bags and puts His priceless words of wisdom on 'em.
