My son Lennon turns 11 today! I am so very in love with this intelligent kid, and I adore his grin. What a beautiful gift in my life! The photo is a few years old, but is the most recent on my computer. Happy Birthday! I feel old.

Peace,

Just get done saying I need blog topics when I think of one. Well actually I was thinking about as I trudged home from work tonight. I remember when I was younger all the wonderful things I wanted to be when I "grew up", I do aspects of some of these. I don't write this regretfully, just remembering. Here are some of my aspirations throughout the years...

-many things theatre: an actress, until I realized I wanted to be a playwright more, or something behind the scenes...

-many things movies: a screenplay writer, film director, special effects makeup artist, film critic... 

-a disc jockey...a better way to utilize my voice than asking poorly written survey questions. 

-an archaeologist/anthropologist...maybe an egyptologist

-an english/drama teacher

-a counselor 

-a rockstar! or blues singer...drummer/guitarist/digeridoo player...

-a sculpter, painter, or any kind of artist really...I remember my fascination with Georgia O' Keefe, Salvador Dali in school... 

-a photographer 

-fashion/costume designer/seamstress

-beautician..hahahahahahahahaha! 

-many things writing, and still aspire here: a poet, novelist...I've considered writing and illustrating children's books...

-a professional bellydancer

-a philosopher or occultist, though I dont know if those would be considered careers, just interesting ways to pass time  

-something involving the tarot...reading, writing, designing, teaching, I should do something here

-running a book/tea/herb/clothing/pagan shop 

...oh it goes on. I'm still not grown up though. Mostly I want to work for myself, do something creative (obviously), new, innovative, helping and inspiring to others and the World. And I can see how I have incorporated many parts of these things into my life, though I dont do them as a career. I have found that the first question a person asks is "What do you do?", as if I am defined only by what I do for a living. I should say "I do everything! But my day job is being a Rockstar!"

Just musing,

Decided to do a little changing here for the New Year and thought bubbles were appropriate to my mind for some reason:) 

We were very blessed this holiday season, we received many things we needed and have been projecting for, and I am very grateful for all of them! I got all kinds of excited at the sight of socks and blankets! And finally a digital camera, so I plan to catch many photos, probably starting at the demo downtown on New Year's Eve, if I have time between tarot readings.The story of surviving my husband's clan on Christmas Eve and Day is one for another blog. I have a difficult time being completely positive about the experience, so let's skip it, alrighty.

I need some blog topics. Stay tuned...

I have to go get some sewing done and write a poem or five, so I wish everyone a fantastically fabulous 2008!  

Peace,

Eala

Hope everyone has a great one! We are celebrating with a Solstice Pizza, music and candles throughout the house! Stay warm and happy!

Sun King

Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy
Here comes the sun king

Here Comes the Sun

(by George Harrison)

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right

Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say
it's all right
it's all right

Happy Xmas (War is Over)

(by Yoko Ono/John Lennon)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas
