Bathroom Mirror is Hazardous to your Health

Beware of the bathroom Mirror. It can be hazardous to your health. I have actually caught people looking in the bathroom mirror and completely demoralizing themselves right before they have to appear in front of a camera. It is unbelievable how cruel and harmful people are to themselves. I was so shocked and taken aback I had to yell stop. That is so destructive. Please, when you look into a mirror be kind. Have a kind face on and a gentle way about you. No vicious derogatory statements or attacks are necessary for anyone. Your talent and creativity and inner child will appreciate this as well as your fellow performers, who are left to pick up the pieces when you are done. Cruelty is not justifiable nor is it needed for any kind of performance. Since it is such a habit for so many of you try changing it to words like, wow, I am looking quite well, or Wow, looking good today, or Hmm, have I lost some weight? I look great. Stop the violence any way you can.

What does it all mean?

I was surfing, yes on the internet. Try as I might I have not yet mastered the waves. As I was spot reading I ran across the statement "light destroys the darkness" I beg to differ. This is actually not true. Light merges with the darkness. You can not have one without the other. Both are equally valued and needed. You must understand the significance of the light merging with the dark. If you are in a room and it is dark and you turn on a light it is now light. Where did the darkness go? Nowhere. It is still there. It has merged with the light. When you turn the light off it is dark. The darkness is still there. Cool huh? this is not a war. It is nature and all is well. When people try to enlighten you it does seem sometimes like it is a war. Truly it is not. No war. Both will still exist long after we have warred ourselves into oblivion.

Well Amazement continues

Those of you who have been keeping up, I heard from the woman that I loaned $25 to to complete her $300 loan to purchase kitchen utensils and tables and chairs for her lunch business. I believe she thanked me, however she wrote in Spanish and I do not read Spanish. Hmm, I somehow feel a bit uneducated, however I will either use the computer to translate or get one of my highly educated friends to let me know what she said. I feel quite astounded and amazed that this thing may actually work. I consider it really working when I am paid back, I now consider it a great success as it has raised the level of consciousness for me and others that are near me. I am looking forward to more news and will keep you all posted. Let me know how each of you are also doing with the Kiva.org idea. Okay, watch and see.

Let it Be, Let it Be

In so many ways and means the message today is let it be. Don't change anything as nothing needs changing. Change is overrated. Let it be. Everything is perfect as it is and take a breathe and breathe it in and out and let it be. Message to self. Now a message for you. Hi, how are you? Let it be. That is the message. Much Love, Shari

Dreams

Dreams are a funny thing. I have dreams, you have dreams. I never really thought about it, but I think my dog Sushi has dreams too. Of course I have heard her yelping occasionally, and she does snore too. Yesterday I needed to rest for a few minutes so I lay down on the couch. Sushi jumped up next to me and lay down next to my head. She usually sleeps down by my feet. Well, we fell asleep together and ten minutes later I woke up startled by a very weird dream. I dreamed of a whole bunch of small dogs happily sitting around just looking me. I could tell they really liked me. Sushi woke up startled too. I am wondering if I had her dream, or if we swithced dreams. What do you think?

Gulible and Amazed.

SO THE NAME OF THE GUY WHO WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR CREATING A WAY TO LOAN MONEY, MOSTLY TO WOMEN IS MUHAMMAD YUNUS. THIS IS A GREAT THINKER AND NOW OF COURSE THERE IS THE WAYS AND MEANS TO DUPLICATE, WHICH IS THE HALLMARK OF ANY REALLY GREAT IDEA. SO KIVA IS THE DUPLICATE THAT TAKES YOUR MONEY AND LOANS IT TO THE NEEDY. I CHOOSE A WOMAN IN SOUTH AMERICA, WANTING TO borrow $300 AND I SUPPLIED THAT LAST $25 SO SHE GETS THE LOAN. THERE IS A TIME LIMIT ON THE LOANS AND ALSO ON THE REPAYMENTS. SHE IS 60 AND NEEDED TO PURCHASE SOME NEW AND ADDITIONAL UTENSILS FOR HER LUNCH BUSINESS AND SOME TABLES AND CHAIRS FOR HER CUSTOMERS. I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW IF SHE PAYS IT BACK. GREAT THINGS ARE GOING ON AND I CONTINUE TO BE AMAZED AND WHETHER IT IS GULLIBLE OR NOT IS NOT A PROBLEM FOR ME.

Guy in white pants.

Bart train

Does blogging while riding on the Bart train count? The train is cool
and comfortable and excel for the guy in white pants who just got on
who is drumming his fingers in impatience the car is empty. Oh, they
just announced delay up ahead because of equipment problems. We will
wait at embarcadero
for an additional ten minutes
Or so. None of this seems to bother Sushi as she is quietly sleeping
in her carrier. For someone who is bothered by noise she doesn't seem
to mind the noise of travel on the train. I on the other hand have to
travel with noise cancelling ear phones. This seems to cut out the
wear and tear on me. I have really liked travels with them, and it is
the only time I listen to music except when I am working. We are now
through the tunnell and my veiw is bright. Most people on the train
are sleeping now, even the guy in the white pants. I wonder if this is
the current American form of meditation. The Bart riders do seem
much more mellow than drivers on the highways. I will try to capture a
Photo to send to my blog. I really like Thursday's.
Love always love, Shari

Amazed

SOMETIMES I AM AMAZED!

TODAY IS ONE OF THOSE DAYS I AM AMAZED. I HEARD ABOUT A WEBSITE CALLED WWW.KIVA.ORG. STARTED BY A COUPLE DOING WORK IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, THIS WEB SITE MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO LOAN MONEY TO SPECIFIC PEOPLE WHO NEED A LOAN TO SUCCEED IN THEIR BUSINESS. THE REPAYMENT RATE IS UNBELIEVABLE AND YOU CAN WITHDRAW YOUR LOAN OR RE LOAN IT. WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER WHO WON FOR DEVELOPING THE MICRO LOANS? THIS CONCEPT IS THE SAME, HOWEVER THIS IS OVER THE INTERNET AND MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO PARTICIPATE EASILY. WOW, THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE. IT DOES FEEL GREAT. I WAS ABLE TO PICK WHO AND WHERE I WANTED TO LOAN THE MONEY.

Sushi out enjoying the holiday.

September is one of my Favorites

Hello all you September people, you Labor Day revelers. What is new? I know the Bay Bridge is Closed and they spent a million dollars advertising it's closure. I would have gotten the job done for half that price. Seriously, I could have done a better job for half the price and everyone would have been the better off for it. Brainstorming ideas is something that comes naturally to me. I have 15 or 20 great ideas a day. Follow through is difficult, but for half a million I would have handled it. I could hire someone known for their follow through and worked with them. All the homeless would be happy to work for some dollars to hold signs everywhere that the Bay Bridge is closed until Tuesday at 5AM. I wonder if they will make it on schedule? If not, they will get plenty of notice for not following through on their schedule. Good Luck. And the next time we need to know something, let's hire Actors. We can get the job done for much less and a lot better.
