I just posted The EmpowerHour interview with Kathy Patrick from 06.27.06. You can "give a listen" by visiting The EmpowerHour site or simply clicking on the link on the right sidebar.
As Kathy is such an advocate of literacy and has created one of the largest Book Club organizations in the world, I have decided to "give my own horn a bit of a toot!"

My guest on TheEmpowerHour on Tuesday was New York Times bestselling author, Lawrence Block. Larry (who I know for over 20 years) has just released his 50th or so novel, Hit Parade which is the third in the Keller series.
On Monday night, he had appeared on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, so I was extremely honored to have him as my guest. Aside from being a terrific writer and storyteller, the man is a riot, so we did alot of laughing. I'll let you know as soon as the archive is up.

Bonnie Snyder, (a new friend) founder of SacredHomeSpa, goes on to say " To watch a butterfly, you have to be still. You have to wait patiently, quietly
as the butterfly moves from flower to flower. There's no hurry, no rush, no
to-do list while focused on the butterfly."

"Work is not always required...there is such a thing as sacred idleness, the cultivation of which is now fearfully neglected." -- George Macdonald
It is now 27 days since I left South Florida, my home of 28 years to relocate in Marietta, GA. My son has been living here for two years and I had reached the point in my life where I knew it was time for a major change.
In the process of unpacking, I'm "discovering" all kinds of goodies. Today's was the book Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach which was given to me by my friend Irene.

"Patience and perserverence have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish." --- John Quincy Adams
When I saw this quote the other day, I was struck by its poignancy ... and I knew I wanted to write about it. I don't know about you, but patience has never been my "strongest suit." I'm not too bad in the perserverence department, but as far as patience goes ...

"Spiritual Power can be seen in a person's reverence for life -- hers and all others, including animals and nature, with a recognition of a universal life force referred to by many as God." -- Virginia Satir
I just read this quote and liked it so much I just wanted to share it! I was reminded that the more I look for Spirit everywhere, the more I will see it.
