Mind Scraps: Challenged to Become Divine Lovers?
A brief email from Caballo Blanco inspired me to respond with this: Challenges are the training ground for restoring us to become the divine, loving beings we are destined to be. Posting the quote as my status on Facebook (ironically enough if you see my prior post) instigated this: Me: I do believe I’m learning [...]
Mind Scraps: The DNA of Music… The Beginning of the End of Idolizing Talent?
Improvox is a new iPad application developed by the concert pianist Robert Taub and his company MuseAmi. Improvox came about after Mr. Taub tried to help his kids learn music. (New York Times) Amazing, exciting… and thought-provoking. So I’m seeing a trend here… this program which can turn a tone deaf crow into a harmonized [...]
Mind Scraps: A Bittersweet Farewell to My Dear Playa…
Before, thanks to my almost uncontainable excitement for the next step of my journey, I always managed to subdue the melancholy of a “goodbye.” But these past few life transitions these past couple of years have left me red-eyed and profoundly touched. I had to say goodbye to some truly remarkable people during my last [...]

Love Note
Just as the tears dry up, the emotions wring my heart again, squeezing out yet more bittersweet tears. I cannot describe the EXCITEMENT and ANTICIPATION I feel for this next, upcoming adventure… this move to L.A. I feel as if the seconds could not fly by fast enough. The seconds that separate him and I. [...]

Back to Blogging with a Blast of Inspiration!
More than 75 days of blogging silence from yours truly. That’s… disappointing actually. But life has thrown me a few curve balls these past 2 1/2 months. You could say at least one of them smacked me dead center in the forehead… hence the proverbial “knockout” and “disappearing blog” act. During the silence, lots of [...]

Mind Scraps: Reverence Before the Radiant Sun
One morning a workmate at Traveo was enchanted by the sun. It was actually one of the workmates who ended up disappointing me, giving me much undeserved trouble. On this morning though, we had connected, shared and, together, marveled at the stunning radiance of the sun. Though the sky was blanketed in clouds her brilliance [...]

Mind Scraps: No to Nonsense, Yes to Progress!
So my stint with Traveo is already over. While the job looked fun on paper – beach lounges, sunset cruises, nights at the club and beachfront accomodation (with Mexico’s infamous soccer star Hugo Sanchez as a neighbor) – in reality it had its problems. Yet, my blog isn’t for spreading “chisma” as they say here [...]
Mind Scraps: Hitting the Notes or Touching the Soul
Saturday night Playa del Carmen hosted a pre-concert for its International Jazz Festival coming up in November. The main attractions for the 2010 summer highlight includeded smooth jazz singer/songwriter Phil Perry and renowned jazz pop singer Bryan McKnight. Admittedly, I don’t know Perry’s music too well. His performance was fun. I felt his heart and [...]
Graffiti Prophet in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Not new news. But new to me… I love how this story demonstrates that wisdom and courage can come from the most unexpected sources. I love how it illustrates that practices commonly labeled as “taboo” or “bad” can be used for good. Finally, it’s yet another testament of the power of art and expression. The [...]
Soul Freedom to Sing, Dance, Praise, Love

Mind Scraps: Pin Ball Chaos and Sailing Mercury Waters
Life is a pinball machine and I am its muse. With one springing shot, I am sent tumbling and whirling through a chaotic tangle of flashing lights and ringing bells. One minute I’m catapulted up, feeling as if I’m gloriously free and flying… the next I come crashing back to the ground sounding off loud [...]
Mind Scraps: Give Drink to the Thirsty
Flashback… During my first few days in the barrancas in Chihuahua, MX I was like Alice in wonderland, marveling at the fish-eye night sky, the majestic rock cathedrals and the exotic Rarámuri – who in their neon-colored blouses, loin-cloth like skirts and biblical sandals seemed to be from a prehistoric epoch. In my eagerness to [...]

Mind Scraps: Night Runs Along the Surf
Just a quick note about my magical moment today: I walk out of my apartment door and turn down the hallway until I reach the ramp that leads to one of my complexes three pools. Weaving between the shadowy palm umbrellas, I arrive at the gate that opens onto the beach. When my feet hit [...]
