What is your all time favorite automobile?

…..because sometimes simplicity is enduring ❤️

How are you creative?

When are you most happy?

Sitting in the final dark moments of the night, waiting for the dawn. The first ray of light that causes an eruption of bird song.

What is good about having a pet?

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

At the age of 24, I moved to London. My fiance came home, and on bended knee popped the question . It was oh so romantic. I was finally getting out of my one horse town. London is going to be fab. They speak English right?

That year was the loneliest year of my life. I went from somebody’s daughter, to someone’s common law wife in a heartbeat. I was alone, I knew no one. I couldn’t get a job yet because of a bureaucratic nightmare. I walk the streets, looking into windows at things I had no money to buy.

That moment I grew up. I grew up when I was brave enough to go to the movies by myself. I grew up when I had to find a cheap supermarket a mile away and carried the groceries on my back because I couldn’t afford a cab or even the bus.

Things changed. I found a great job and  I did dive into British culture. I met new friends and found a more reasonable neighborhood. I became a mom myself.. I will never forget those early days. Living hand to mouth, sitting in free art galleries all day. I never knew how strong I was until I wasn’t. I didn’t know how little I knew and how naive I was. Those days made me the woman I am today. I don’t suggest free falling, but the thrill is worth it.

Italy next!

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?
I fantasize about this!

“The root of all suffering is Desire” Buddha

I don’t need another thing…

I do not need anymore clothing….

I do not need another car….

I have no need of fancy jewelry

I have lived long enough to know, things will never bring happiness or stability. It has actually been proven, the simpler life, is a more joyous life.

95% of the things you think you need, are the yolk that drags you down into the abis.

I’m preparing to discard my property, and start on a journey to see the mysteries of the world. All I need is the man I love and my dogs. They bring me joy. New adventures really does it for me too. I will get back to you and tell you how it goes.

Is this dirty technology all we’ve got?

America ‘s dependency on foreign oil and their love of the combustion engine…cars, tools and home heating. We always want something less dirty, but combustion engine proponents may have brought some really disturbing insights to the table. EV cars are not only dangerous, but their batteries are not renewable. Forget being green.

When you get in your EV and sit on top of those 7000 batteries, do you feel safe? I have seen EV batteries fully igite within seconds of being breached, setting off a fire which cannot be extinguished. Many of these cars have to burn out, leaving firefighters helplessly watching as the heat from these hot potatoes buckle road infrastructure.

And where do the unrecyclable batteries go after use? A storage facility near you, where they sit and leak and in the past ignited. One fire burned toxic smoke for 8 days.

Did I say you cannot extinguish these  batteries?

My advice, you see a puff of smoke come out of the vent… evacuate immediately..you have 10 seconds.

Bring 5’8″ and 70 lbs 8 at years old does not buy grace!

All my cousins were dancers. The best dancers in the school, so expectations were high for me. I already was “dance challenged”. Year two, I grew to a hight more comparable to a giraffe then a swan….and I ain’t kidding.

Neck sticking out, teeth sticking out. A miserable Dorothy Hamil cut! Always in the back, behind the curtain. Let’s not mention my mother’s inability to pick me up on time. Often leaving me uncomfortably in the dressing room, staring at my feet. My dance teacher upstairs is chowing down super, while I watch the pink paint chip off the wall.

I really think this book was written about me!

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

Addiction Free

Do you know cellphones and computers stimulate the brain in the same way crack cocaine does?

Your child on the iPad while you dine out…addicted

Vacation without electronics…severely uncomfortable

Yeah…addicted

Children and adults are so affected by these gadgets we have severe anxiety related to electronic stimulation across the board in school and at work. Young developing brains should not be exposed.

It should be controlled like a drug because it is just as addictive. Free yourself. Live like its 1999.
