I've moved to a home with a view of the bay. I am totally blessed! and this is the first real crazy storm I've experienced. I'm loving it so much that I'm finding it hard to do anything but stay in bed and watch the tumultuous surf… yum!
I didn't get much sleep last night, that's because I was kept awake by the howling wind and whistling doors AND because I found the sound of the crashing waves on the beach mesmerising and soothing.

I've been reading The Artist's Date by Julia Cameron. It's a course in discovering and recovering your creative self In one of the exercises Julia suggests sending 5 postcards to 5 people, people you would love to hear from. It got me thinking, in this time of instant gratification, what with Facebook, Twitter, Emails, Texts, we've lost the habit of putting pen to paper. As much as I loved the experience of writing to my mates, knowing that they were in for a big surprise getting something in the mail that wasn't a bill but some heartfelt words of friendship, I was humbled and overwhelmed by their reaction and gratitude -a totally humbling experience. Reciprocity at its best. Go on, give it a try and see the reaction you get. My girlfriend Marie has a mum who is dying, a painfully slow death that has whittled down her robust body to an emaciated state. She's in pain alot of the time. Marie told me of a young nurse who sat on the bed alongside her mother stroked her hair gently and kissed her forehead. Marie's mum calmed down immediately thanks to that random act of kindness What act of kindness can you do today? |
