This week’s photo challenge is ESCAPE. I took this shot last year during my 366 project and believe it depicts what we all think about from time to time. Escape from jobs, toxic relationships, illness, worrying about what others think, keeping up with the Joneses’, negative people, and the list goes on.
What do YOU want to escape from? Click the link below the photo for an awesome video. Namaste’

Well, she’s at it again. Taking images of flowers. Why? Because blooms don’t blink and they make me feel good when I look at them. So here’s some images of my latest bunch of Stargazer lilies. Namaste’

One of the great joys in my life is knowing the universe is so much bigger than anything I can conceive, in knowing that miracles (or what we call miracles) reside right on the other side of the veil I've imposed with my very limited brain.
I know, I know! It’s been a while since I’ve been to the blogosphere, but life and my business have kept me out of trouble 
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and I want to wish all the Moms out there a blessed and joyous day. Being a mom is really hard work and who says it stops when the young-uns leave the nest? And who says there should only be one day a year to honor Mom?
Anyway, I’ll be spending tomorrow with this lovely lady and my hubby. Mom doesn’t really like to have her picture taken, so I snapped this with my phone last weekend. I think she looks pretty good for being 90. Maybe I’ll look this good when I’m her age. One can hope, right?
Wish I could have my kids and grandkids here, too. But I feel loved no matter where everyone is geographically. Namaste’
I just came across this picture today that I took a while back. We were visiting hubby’s sister in Nevada. She’s a pet sitter and happened to be sitting for this cutie pie. His name is Jazz and he certainly captured my heart. His owner is the daughter of the great jazz musician, Miles Davis.
I call this one “Breathing in Sunbeams” because he looks like he’s taking in some angelic light, doesn’t he? Namaste’

Again, I believe that we are not along in this universe. What say you? Namaste’

NYT seeks teacher data, ignores own reporting
by Daniel Denvir
On September 21, Los Angeles teacher Rigoberto Ruelas killed himself, jumping 100 feet from a bridge into the Angeles National Forest below. His suicide came about a month after the Los Angeles Times posted ratings of over 6,000 L.A.
Hubby has the best boss on the planet. She knows what people like, that’s for sure. Besides money, that is Take a look at the chocolate covered strawberries that she sent to all employees for their semi-annual meeting. A few of the recruiters (including hubby) are virtual and work at home, so yesterday these arrived and he was instructed not to open the box until today during the tele-meeting. Do you know how hard that was for me? Especially when I saw the box that said Shari’s Berries.
Of course, once this Pandora’s box was opened, I had to take some photos and make a collage. Yes, they taste just as good as they look. We feel so decadent. Thanks, Leslie! I don’t even work for you but am sending you a “virtual” hug right now. Namaste’
