One Lovely Blog Award!

Thanks so much to Sherri over at MamaDiaries@blogspot.com for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award! I haven't received this honor before. I don't write as much as I used to, being a working mom of a 6 month old infant has well changed my life forever and completely but in the best ways possible. As I have already told you and as you can probably imagine I don't have much time anymore for my blog. But sometimes I remember it affectionately and I think I should write some of my funny experiences that have been happening lately or I should write about all the things on my mind like how I feel about my niece going off to college. Wow, well first of all I feel old. So I will get back into the swing of things and start-a-posting.

What LOVE looks like

I was watching this show for kids and the woman said No silly you can't see Love its something you feel. I think they have it all wrong. Like the Stevie Wonder song isn't She Lovely, he says, Isn't she Lovely? Made from Love. I would tell my baby girl to look in the mirror. I would tell her that she is made from love that she is love and that all the beauty and love in the universe exisits inside of her. Here are some pictures of what love looks like: The first one is my daughter, the others courtesy of facebook

Carlin genius

I love George Carlin. He was really smart and awake and really, really funny. But he was just telling us what was there right in front of us, right?

role models?

I have been thinking a lot about who my role models have been growing up and how much they have shaped me. I can be quite dramatic and extreme and I blame it on being a Scorpio. I would love to think my heart and soul follow in the foot steps of people like Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Maya Angelou, and John Lennon, because I want peace, I want what is right and for people to love one another and be happy. But then there is the other side, the angry or rebellious side who idenitifies more with Malcom X, Zach de la Rocha, William Burroghs. That is why I think my favorite artistic medium is comedy. The art of making other people laugh. You can use it in the most clever and creative ways to make people really think. You can send a deeper message and make them remember what you said if you make sure they are enjoying themselves at the same time. This is why I love Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, and George Carlin they are so smart and their writing speaks volumes about politics, racism, socio-economic ills, etc. I recently saw a post that Bill Cosby put on his facebook page about how he gets tweets from all these people who say that they thought of him as their Dad or their Grandpa or even now their great-grandpa! Wow, influence, to spread the message of love and hope across generations. So I have been wondering about this video I saw "the greatest speech ever made" and I found out it was from Charlie Chaplin's movie, "The Great Dictator" so now I have decided to start a new study of him, the great genius Chaplin.

Here is a very powerful and moving video that features that speech

MORE SOLUTIONS!

Earlier I posted a zeitgesit movement video, this shows even more clearly where we could be headed if we really came together for the benefit of everyone. Scarcity is an evil illusion created by the current system. Abundance is what we really have..

The Return of Free for All Fridays

So I have been on a way too serious tip lately. And while that inner soul searching and quest for peace in this cruel world continues, I thought I would try to lighten things up a bit. I have a very busy two weekends ahead of me and I am exhausted. This weekend is Easter and Passover. Next weekend my sister comes with the kids. I am trying to remain calm and relaxed, all I want to do is take a nap.
So happy Easter and happy Passover.
I will share somethings I think are cool..

1) I love JcPenney's new prices - everyone should do this. No more 14.99 or 6.99, it is just 14 or 6
2) I love that I was raised Catholic and my husband is Jewish and it didn't stop us for one second from being able to coexisit and mutally respect one another's beliefs or traditions. We celebrate both holidays throughout the year and yes this gets tiresome because its always some holiday coming up..
3) I think as a world we all need to go back to basics and use common sense, seems like that has been lost
4) the best things in life aren't things!
5) I am going to try my damndest to get to happy hour later, I may pass out on the way in from being too tired
