Check out my new blog.....time to get writing again.

Just further proof that I'm the black sheep perhaps?????
I can't help it...it's hereditary; from my Dad, only he hasn't fully embraced the beauty in his darkness. It's actually that we both have a "5" in our HD profile. It makes us heretics by nature.
I'll also share a wish for the new year with you:
May the integrity of Peace and Truth be celebrated in this year.
May love and courage shine in your heart stronger than ever, and may you find within you the light of a thousand suns to blaze through whatever challenges you face in the times ahead.
May you meet the suffering of the world with compassion, both for your self and for others
May you shatter your self-imposed limitations with fierce honesty and persistant love.
May you invite the demons (that means your fears, kids) to show their faces with the confidence of your inner strength, knowing there is no darkness you cannot face with love in your heart.
May you find yourself in many unexpected fields of wild flowers and circles of compassionate friends.
May we share laughter and tears with openness and freedom.
May we recognize the heart of ourselves in the eyes of each we meet.
May you follow your inspirations, your heart and your dreams more fully than ever before.
When you feel awkward, know you are walking your own edge and growth and healing are also present.
Deep Breath.............

Also, to appreciate each day as a gift, read the update of my friend Paul's daughter, who has been at death's door for years now, and continues to stay with us, and she shares her wish for all of us as she waits to pass.........

I do have a rebellious streak, but rarely act on it. (What is an HD5?) Maybe that is why I listen to and like somewhat eccentric people and people with unconventional ideas. It is important that some people disagree with the "conventional wisdom", that they strike off on thier own, that they "march to the tune of a different drummer". Not for the sake of rebellion, but for the sake of new ideas, new art and music and new techniques. One of the advantages of a market economy and free society is that its OK to do this. These can be the people who increase productivity and often happiness. They can also suffer. I encourage my students to question everything I teach. On channel 10 the other night in a piece on Ralph Nader, he said that his father asked them after school, "well, did you learn to believe or learn to think today?"
GREAT blog, Val!! You have such a talent for writing. Your words of wisdom are very uplifting. Thanks for sharing with us.
