Thank you...

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who have supported me over these last few weeks in one way or another. You know who you are, because of you I am stronger today and will be tomorrow. To the kids, you have been my strength and have revitalized me when I was at my lowest, especially “my pumpkin”! Thank you.

Be good!

Life...

To love is to live

To live is to experience

To experience is to endure

To endure is to succeed

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow is a new day

Full of hopes, dreams and expectations

It knows no limitations

Only unfolding itself as a mystery

Be good!

Tranquility

Close your eyes and listen to the wind

As it dances through the leaves
Filling your heart with utmost joy, in its simplicity
Feel it caressing your skin
Comforting, counseling and healing your soul.

Be good!

“Sexy Pink”

Heliconia Chartacea or Sexy Pink

This one of my favorite species of Heliconias, it is locally know as Sexy Pink, I think you can see why ;) The bright pink parts are modified leaves known as bracts, on the underside are found the flowers which are green in color and well hidden. Their pollinators are a group of Hummingbirds called Hermits, they have long and curved beaks which are well adapted for probing into the curved flowers.  Heliconias are related to Bananas. 

Retreat...

I attended an Introspective Retreat yesterday lead by Dr. Theodore Ferguson, which was held at Asa Wright Nature Center. It was my second in a series of retreats and I must say it has been very inspirational, self-revealing and extremely profound.

We all come from several different walks of life

Sharing many unique experiences

But what is the thread that ties us together?

What is the core of our humanity?

Be good,
