This couple were amazing to watch. She was filing her nails and he was wincing because he just was not enjoying something!

pompano beach
Here are some photos I took recently at Pompano Beach in Florida – using my iphone and processed in photoshop. I was just having a play with a different feel to these images.
I had the most wonderful week meeting new friends and learning so much at a workshop for the Next Step Group run by John Paul Caponigro.

hip hip hooray – it’s my 50th birthday today- 13th Feb!!!!
Well in Australia it is… but here in the US where I am right now it is the 12th Feb….. so it’s kind of strange yet nice to be recieving birthday messages today. 
I have such a priveliged life – filled with beautiful family and friends with whom I can share the experiences of this amazingly profound existince I can call my life. Thank you to all those who have crossed my path and taught me, and touched me, and shared your love with me.
The most important thing I have learned over the past 50 years is the best…and actually only way to live my life is to live it with an open heart… and I truly mean OPEN… so it can burst ….and live with my heart open as fully as I can each moment, and be aware withIN each prescious breath.

second morning in Fort Lauderdale… and getting home the night before
My second morning in Fort Lauderdale…and finishing my story of the night before.
…. I woke thinking to myself…..’Some Americans are SOOOOO noisy’. 5.30am and they slam their doors and talk loudly down the hallway…..and knock on other peoples doors to wake them up and call out of the room to people in the hallway. After about half an hour of this I got up – wrapped a towel around me and with my cockatoo hairdo stood at my open doorway and said to them quite politely…. “……

my first day in Fort Lauderdale
I would like to share with you part of an email I wrote to a friend about my first day in Fort Lauderdale. I had this urge to write bubbling inside and this is the result. Enjoy! …
Not having a clue where I was, I fumbled around searching for the origin of some discordant melody and vibration – and found in my hand my phone with the words “7.00 am Alarm, Snooze” displayed on the front. Where on earth was I??? It took me a few breaths to work out I was actually in a motel in Fort Lauderdale….and was determined to get my body clock adjusted to local time. I stumbled to the toilet and sitting there I had this wave of disappointment overcome me.

i don’t ‘do’ reasons !
After having a conversation with a girlfriend yesterday and sharing with her that over the past year or so I have come to the decision that “I DON’T ‘DO’ REASONS any more – she suggested that I share it with the world!!! – hence this post. My awareness of this came from Robert Rabbin, and I have spent some time finding my own way with its meaning.
I decided that I don’t need permission from anyone to do or make the choices that I make. If I want to do something, or don’t want to do something…. I will do precisely that – follow what I want to do…. make my choice, make my decision… and share my desision without any explanation at all.
If I start to say “because…blah blah,” I catch myself now and am aware that I have started to justify myself and it is as if I am getting permission from another to make my choice.
I do not need permission from anyone for my choices. I am ultimately responsible for the consequences of my choices, and I will listen deeply from within to come to a decision – and I need no-one elses acceptance or permission for them.
I have found it interesting to observe that when I make a decision about something another person may not like or agree with; they will ask me WHY. It is as if they want an acceptable reason so it is OK for me to make that choice. I’m certain they would not ask me WHY if I came to a decision which they agreed with.
At a later time I would sometimes explain my thoughts or how I came to make a decision if someone asked me why…. not out of justifying – but rather to create deeper understanding between us.
….. so …. I dont ‘do’ reasons !

humility
The sheer scale of these sand dunes made me feel so humble and in awe of the magnificence and omnipotence of Nature.

harsh yet soft
In this extreme environment which was so harsh – there was still a sense of softness.

storm approaching
We were in the Great Sand Dune Park in Colorado and this snow storm was approaching. This day was one of the most exhilarating days of my life. Over the next few weeks I will endeavour to post some images from this incredible day.
