Patience is a lesson we all have to learn; some learn early, others have to learn the hard way, repeatedly.  Like learning to spread cold peanutbutter on soft bread.  It takes patience and learning techniques to make the combination successfully work together.   My favorite combination is peanutbutter and honey or strawberry jam, yummy.

A life of constant instant gratification can often cause missing the most important aspect of patience, the moment.   God makes us wait for a reason, he wants us to enjoy the moment for a reason, so he intentionally puts obstacles in our path to teach us patience.

If you find yourself in the Peanutbutter Cafe, you have a choice, you can remove your shoes and feel the soft smoothness that oozes between your toes, the way your warmth melts down the thickness and thins it out.  You can learn techniques like toasting the bread to melt the peanutbutter or wait until the room has warmed the jar.  That’s what patience feels like when used properly.

Or, you can go buy another pair of new shoes.

PS don’t eat the peanutbutter after your feet have been in it :–)

Happy New Year Everyone! XXOO

I was so fortunate to have had a friend and colleague, Pallavi, visit her family in India this last November.  I approached her to assist me in having a Sari made from material that had been given to me by a wonderful Engineer when I worked for Agilent Technologies.  That was over 12 years ago and I had not been able to turn this beautiful material into a garment.   I was so delighted when Pallavi returned with a tailor made traditional Sari, fit to my body specifications.  These are made in a very particular way and we took lots of measurements.  We took a few short lessons in how to wrap the material and viola!  All wrapped up, fit for Christmas under the tree!  The fabric is a common color in India, but to me it is exoticly luxurious, like swimming in the Aegean Sea.  I call it Aegean Blue.  I feel like a Princess Goddess wrapped inside held together by a golden thread.

My 2012 World Wish: Be Kind to one another so in turn we will all be treated in likeness.

Respect thyself so others will do the same.

May You Be Blesseed in All Ways Possible

PS.   Sudhir Oberoi, Health Physicist, Oregon Health Authority made a joke about people sleeping together emit more radiation than people who don’t.  I said that was just another excuse for an intelligent man not to commit. The benefits produced out weigh all the cost.

In retrospect, perhaps that’s where the all elusive Higgs particle has been hiding all along, the core of love through the Membrane potential … perhaps scientist have been looking in all the wrong places?  For the atoms to co-habitat in perfect harmony they must be a bionically excitable charged particle, in an electrically neutral state with a twist of voltage please.  It’s all about the energy.  It is unmistakable when it forms.

After waking from my dream, I wrote these words from the vision.

©®”Many tribes have spoken, many tribes have grown, many tribes have come together in peace as it’s been foretold.  Look to the silver streaks from the stars above, there is a hidden story, that comes from the North.”©®

©®In my dream I saw Tribes people painted with white markings carrying spears.  The amazing grouping reminded me of a herd of antelope that sprawled the Oregon desert cascading  in drones up and over the China Hat landscape.  The tribe moved together in unison without any degree of misfeature.  As the group came back to where I stood, a leader approached talking in song.  As I listened heartfelt, from the South 3 young white males approached wearing white shirts, their faces painted in white geometric writing as well, processioned in unison singing the same phrases in chorus.  Suddenly, a sharply defined meteor path lit up the night sky…. “©®
