Magical Music Lou Ann and I went to a benefit concert to support the local elementary school which may be shut down.   There was a group of performers singing and playing guitars.  Three of the performers have meant a lot to me.  When we moved to Sedona in the late eighties, Patrick Ki would play…

When You Care Enough I love my new computer.  It’s just a thing, but it serves me well right now. Tonight, Lou Ann and I watched a Hallmark Hall Of Fame movie.  These movies have a lot of emotion and feeling to them.  More than a regular weekly program.  The story tonight was about a woman…

Self Esteem Lou Ann and I went to see the movie “I Feel Pretty”.  Amy Schumer does a great job playing someone who has little self esteem until she bumps her head. Then she sees herself as she has always wanted. This is one of the most important lessons in life.  In truth, everything is…

Blessed I will have my new computer soon and I will be able to share directly on my own Facebook page.  Thanks for finding us on Lou Ann’s page. I have shared with you the story about how I came to start this blog some ten months ago.  The essence of that story is that Kwan…

Illuminated The Illuminate Film Festival has chosen it’s movies for the upcoming festival on May 30th to June 3rd.  It is our fifth year and Lou Ann and I have been honored to volunteer the past three years.  I would encourage everyone who is able, to come and attend.  Not only will you be able…

Treasure Every Moment I was playing tennis today with three other players at Poco Diablo Resort in Sedona.  As I was beginning to serve, I noticed that the person I was hitting to, was looking in the sky. In the book of Mathew it says “For where your treasure is; there will your heart be…

Love Yourself No Matter What The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.  We spend a lot of time seeking happiness in an amazing variety of ways.  Too much time looking outside of ourselves in our search for joy.  Life is…

Little Blue Spaceship Lou Ann and I attended an Earth Day celebration in the little town aptly named Cornville Arizona.  The event was at a place called Maggie’s Farm.  It is a couple of acres of sustainable living. Sustainable living, is the practice of reducing your demand on natural resources by making sure that you replace…

Life What is life anyway?  A series of events.  Some stuff that happened.  Some stuff that happened to me, all along the way.  Made me who I am today.  These are lyrics from a Michael Byers song called “You Are My Friend”. I am typing on Lou Ann’s computer.  Mine crashed and it doesn’t work…

Who Decides? Lou Ann and I love to people watch.  We were having lunch in the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall today.  Thousands of folks passed by, while we ate our lunch.  I see people and my mind immediately begins a conversation with myself about them.  I might notice their age or their hair color or…
