A couple of years ago around this time, I had the distinct honor of doing the flower arrangements for my sister and brother in law’s wedding. It was a lot of fun – something I really loved doing.

The day we decided on the types of flowers, the Parrot Tulips were talking to us as the Bells of Ireland were chiming, and the Kermit Poms were serenading us with “Rainbow Connection” – throw a few vibrant Lilys, Alstroemeria and Gerbera Daisies into the mix and it sure felt like love in the springtime to me!

Greetings!

For those of you who live in the South Bay, or for those of you who just really enjoy a good fair and don’t mind traveling a bit to get there – pack up your sun glasses and SPF this coming Sunday, and head on over to Wilson Park!

Revel in the fresh air while you take pleasure in viewing inspiring works of art and fine handmade crafts, as well as sampling some delicious curbside fare. It’s a great time to pick up gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Graduations or Weddings.

While you are there, you must look up my friend Silvia, and try on some of her gorgeous Healing Stone Creations. Not only are they stunning to look at, but the stones in these necklaces feel so good, you won’t want to remove them – come find a few that talk to you, and enjoy her magnificent paintings as well!

My friend Claudia will be there too with her hand crafted
Herbal Therapy Wraps and Eye Pillows, along with her newly created Back and Abdomen Wraps. She has a full line of gemstone Pet Charms, Energy Balancing Sprays, Gratitude Boxes, Key Chains and more, all created with a whole lot of LOVE!

Wilson Park is a beautiful place where you can stroll along peaceful paths, and picnic under majestic trees along a tranquil duck pond.
So go hang out at the park this Sunday, and make a whole day of it – there is certainly plenty to do – or just do nothing – whatever your pleasure!

Sunday, March 9, 2008 from 9 am to 4 pm

A deep breath and then a tug on my heart and then an instantaneous profound feeling of peace and great joy rippled through me as I chugged along in 4pm traffic going west on Artesia Boulevard – the Dalai Lama was watching over me. Yayyy!!! Then, a couple weeks later, while venturing south on Vermont I believe, there was Einstein giving encouragement and gave me quite a chuckle with his great hair and his tongue sticking out. Then it was on the TV with “Honesty – pass it on” and “let’s not cheat” (if anyone knows the song they play in the background, please let me know in a comment below – I love that melody) …

Out of the myriad of messages we are bombarded with daily rises the heart warming pearls from the Foundation For A Better Life.

Need something to move you – go to their website. Read and listen to the stories. You will be moved. You will be inspired. You will experience the global neighborhood. You will feel the urge to act. Just do it…
