Who Is the Real You?
This is the first line of a song I wrote about 4 months ago. At the time, I was writing this for a song group. It was an assignment in which I had to use these 2 words: vastness and pureness. I was not happy about this. What kind of words are those to have to put to...
Aunt Lena sez 'You gotta make nice, even if dere not in ya family!" She learned this from her Nonna.
It is so interesting to me that there is so much research done on this very subject. If you search 'kindness research' you will find more than you can possible read!...
It seems so simple yet, how often I forget that the simple things bring so much joy. It does not have to be complicated, expensive or fancy to give one the feeling of joy. We rode in a 18 mile charity ride with our children - who are young adults by the way - and I was reminded of this.
What...
Do I Really LIKE This?
AHHH – I must like acting the same way over and over and getting the same results. Other wise why would I continue to do it - why would you continue to do it? (If indeed you do!)
As I reflect on this, I KNOW that awareness is the first step.
So I become...
More tomorrow ! Well actually I have to write 25 words now and I am not feeling like it is christmas today. having tech problems which make me feel not happy! maybe i like the drama!
Every Day Like Christmas?
Is this possible? Can it be done? Would we want life to be like that? What does that really mean? Would we get bored being excited and happy all the time? Can we live at that peak?
Do we love the drama of being sad, upset or unhappy?
Do we need...
Christmas in our house is full of tradition, the traditions of our Italian –American family. Making ravioli, making Zeppoli, baking Christolen, cookies and bread, cooking pasta with anchovies, linguini with white clams sauce, red clam chowder…it is a cooking and eating marathon....
What does one do? A question I am asking myself….I am asking you. When someone you love says something that hurts, how do you decide what to do?

Complaining Complaining Complaining! I am so GOOD at that. No use saying if complaining could earn you money and fame, I would be famous and rich!! (Or DO people become famous and rich by complaining?)
No matter, complaining makes one feel powerless with no choices. Who likes to feel...
A Thanksgiving I was not expecting. The feeling of gratitude and awe that came from listening to 33 friends and family express their feelings of gratitude, one after another. The feelings of joy and love in the room . You could almost touch it.
What else does one need for an Audaciouly...
Seems so simple doesn't it? LIVE kindness. But It is harder than I thought. So I started smiling! Smiling at everyone.'Smiling raises endorphins, Smiling makes People happy Smiling makes me happy!
Try it, see what happens for you!!
Sometimes I get caught in my own trap! Does that ever happen to you? I forget that of course no matter how much I learn, and how much I know....I will still have down times, I will still feel like a 2 year old, wanting to stamp my feet and scream over who knows what. It is that old trap yet...

You Gotta Make Your Own Gravy: How to create a vibrant and passionate life blog
I just saw the movie The King's Speech which I thought was fabulous. By passing the facts - the acting was amazing, the music gorgeous, Colin Firth - the same, the story fascinating, they were royalty...here is what it brought home to me.
Money doesn't equal happiness...
We make old family recipes for the holidays, we sing while we cook and we tell stories. These are all part of Christmas with our family. From the oldest to the youngest, we look forward to all the laugher, silliness and the cooking. Oh the cooking...we HAVE to make the Ravioli, the Zeppoli, the...
On Christmas Night, my family along with my 83 year old mother watched the movie Elf. I have probably seen it twice before. It is such a funny movie and yes some say predictable and sappy, but I still tear up when the crowd starts singing for Santa.
Watching this time I simply thought YES...
