My beautiful Puppies -Samwise and Beren

Omens and Portends

Twice today I've had an Omen. Early this morning I received a comment on an earlier post I made to my blog. The Passage was about suicide. The comment isn't important. Later in the afternoon, I received an email from a FB friend asking for advice on how to handle a call from someone suicidal ! Coincident?! I think not! I don't believe in coincidences. and God doesn't play at Dice! Now the search is on, Who? Where? When? . I take this subject very seriously. I've been on both side now. Friends dying and me standing on the edge staring at the abyss ! Hopefully, i gave good advice. I know I spoke 2with my heart and Soul, and compassion ! That's a powerful combination. But maybe, just maybe this is just a reminder, a kick in the pants, God whispering, theres more to do, more life out there, don't get complacent. Don't take your health and life for granted. Make plans, strive for balance but make every day worth living.. Make Your Dreams come True,,,, Good Advice I'd Say

This is a small excerpt from Celine Dions beautiful song " In Some Small Way", I think it fits here !

"If we give a little of our love away,

and maybe meet in the middle ,

every night every day

if we can hear just a whisper of what the heart needs to say,

it sure can make a difference in some small way "

I'm back

I've been gone too long, expect more stories and more insightful pieces coming soon, I cant let me voice be silenced,,,,, Thank you

And so it Begins

Production has begun on the movie the Hobbit,, excited yet sad,, tried everything I could think of to get to be an Extra, but at least now I can look forward to visiting New Zealand in December to see the movie!

The Hobbit

The Hobbit is green lit for February 21,, everything is a go, except I havent been asked yet! Perhaps there are things such as Miracles!

Eat Pray Love

I saw the movie last night, and while I thought it was ok, i wanted to comment on the message of the film, more than the film itself. In case you are not familiar, The main character is in turmoil in her personal relationships, i.e bad marrage, sucky love life. So she decides to go and find herself, by eating in Italy, meditating and India, and finding herself in Bali. The film decides that what she needs in the end is of course, A GOOD MAN. Go figure! But there were bits and pieces in there that I felt were worth exploring. Most people are so busy, and our lives are so full of crap, that we rarely take the time to Stop and enjoy the moment, take the time to silence our minds and allow God, the universe or whatever you believe in,, to fill the void! Our minds are full of so much noise, we hear nothing. Not our hearts, nor our souls whispering to us, telling us the secrets of the Universe!I am so blessed to have realized this a long time ago. During each of my adventures (travels), I make it a point to stop ,,,,, and do nothing,, but just be,,,,, silent, to feel the breeze, the sun on my face,,,and enjoy the moment, of where I am, and what I'm doing right NOW! Someone once said to me, you travel thru the eyes of a camera! I was offended! He thought that I didn't see the world or experience it, because I was too busy looking thru my lens. I tried to explain, that he didn't understand me at all. It doesn't matter whether its a second, 10 minutes, 3 hrs or 3 days.. Time isn't the important factor, but the moment is, the feeling of utter peacefulness in that period of time! There are moments in each of my travels, that I'll never forget, some because of an exciting factor, some because of the time I took to enjoy the moment . I always try to express the moments in my pictures, to stop time in a fraction of a second , to capture a moment, I'm having ,,, I enjoy sharing them, but more importantly, love remembering the feeling and peacefulness those times brought to me!

Dreams

Isn't it wonderful to have a dream and work towards it? If everyone believes this and wishes for it themselves. Why do people tear our dreams down? It really bothers me, when someone has a snide comment or rolls there eyes towards what others say about their dreams or aspirations. If you think they will fail, fine, But KEEP it TO yourself!!! Especially if you care about that person! Now I know why so many families stand by the participants in American Idol, those who cant sing, because they just want to support their loved ones. Let Simon destroy their dreams. But when ones dreams are not hurting anyone, including the dreamer, leave them alone, let them fail on their own. We just want support. I'm a grown man, I don't need anyone telling me about failure or how life works, if you love me, smile and offer a suggestion. I don't want to hear negativity, or guess what.. You will be a roadblock, I walked over to get where I want to go !!!!
