The Traveller Returns

I have been away on holiday on an adventure of excitement and relaxation. Glad to be back and ready to face whatever’s ahead. New projects and new goals are all in the forefront. This year’s summer seems a lot hotter than last year’s and though I am enjoying the summer blaze, I do look forward to the coming of Fall weather, the cooling down, the rain, the wind, and all the coming celebrations of Halloween, Thanksgiving , and Christmas! I shall be updating all web sites soon. Peace to all readers, writers, artist, and creators out there. May you find what your looking for on your many travels. *Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen - Benjamin Disraeli *The journey is the moment, the path unknown, memories that fill a lifetime, have shown more - T.S.Garp

The Sea Summer Chronicles

Start your day serenely! It's never to late to embrace a new day and start again - Toci, Toltec Wisdom * With those positive words I begin to reflect on the joy of another summer and as the temperature rises thoughts of beachcombing for seashells, swimming, spending time with family and friends, more barbecues, summer movies, music, and trips, all of which I‘m looking forward to. I must admit upon reflection I need to start meditating again, keep my mental focus, and remain upbeat each and every day. Generally speaking, life is good in the big scheme of things, I’m very happy my e-books are done and should be available as I speak. The writing and creating process can be a long road to undertake.

However, life is full of surprises and often than not will put up a few curves here and there about something, life brings opportunity and challenges (keeps things interesting), which is needed for personal growth, but I relent that it really shows us how determine we are in the face of any adversity. We have to maintain our long-term goals, try to create the future that we need, and want. We need to also listen to the wind and the heart of wisdom. Having the vision to create what was not there before and the drive needed for the direction or canvas you hope to see is exactly why you should never let dreams fade away.

We must remember that we are on a journey with other souls too (family and friends) and I greatly want everyone enjoying the life of a “shared-experience” that is on a similar path. This Summer is that goal and well beyond into Autumn-Winter for 2012. Despite the hard economy and “slow-periods” in anything in our lives, we should instead enjoy even the least bit of paradise that is presented to us from the ultimate divine source to our happiness. Let it in and let the universe, God, and the your super-conscious mind work its magic for your happiness. It is never too late to start embracing everything and everyone. * Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. ~ John Wooden

R.I.P. Donna Summer

Donna Summer, American singer-songwriter, five-time Grammy Award winner, and legendary disco queen past away due to lung cancer on May 17th, 2012 at the age of 63. My heart is sad at this breaking news. I absolutely love her voice and her music. One of my all-time favorite Donna Summer songs is I Feel Love from 1977. She will be deeply missed and I’m thankful her music will live on, and the memory of her will never die.

Another disco era legend has lost his battle over cancer. Robin Gibb, British singer and songwriter dies at 62 on May 20, 2012. Gibb is most remembered as one of the Bee Gees with his twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry. A terrible lost and another blow to his family. Robin Gibb was one of five children, younger brother Andy Gibb, a very popular solo singer in the 1980s died in 1988. Maurice Gibb past away in 2003. Gibb is survived by older brother Barry and sister Lesley. I remember how the Bee Gees became even more famous and popular when they provide the soundtrack for the highly successful film Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta in 1977. Fans around the world are mourning the lost and grateful that both musical artist has left us with unforgettable music to enjoy and brighten our lives for years to come. Our prays and thoughts are with Donna Summer’s and Robin Gibb’s family. I sincerely hope and wish the medical establishment would release a real mandatory cancer cure to end this dreaded disease.
