    Dear Luv, My heart is reaching out to you, I know the how hard it is to lose that special some.     

    I wrote this at my Grandmas funeral

    When I Die

    When I die sing no sad song for me, And cry no tears for you see,

    My death will be a pleasure for me, Cause there will be no more pain,

    I will be set free. Don't stand by my grave and wonder why, Why this

    Person had to die. Cause I will be with my love ones in heaven you

    see. And Oh how happy I will be!

    My prays are with you Luv.

    morning beachies-beauties..........

    have strapped on my walking shoes, wish they were flip-flops and i was headed for sand

    keeping each and all in my heart

    ramping up for Sunday's departure for the NY road show. i've never attempted anything quite this involved...... keeping my fingers crossed for good travel mercies. 3 days, 3 cities, hundreds of K teachers sprinkled across the state: whew!

    much love to each for the journey

    good thing we have an angel watching over us!

    Lisa I had never seen one & just fell in love with it instantly. Sometimes you see something & it just speaks to you. This DID!

    Spar....Still sleeping rest you need it for the Long weekend.

    Faith....I need to get my Beach but up & Moving today. My son's School has an Anual Turkey Trott. It's like a Fall Fun Run for kids in 4 & 5 grade! One year I was actually in shape enough to run it! I came in 3 erd place for the Adult (women) parents. Maybe next year! After I have time to recoup from my surgery next month!  I will make myself do it! It would be good to see a Grandmother of 1 at age 42! Get up there & HOOF IT! LOL! Have fun on your Great City Tour!!!

    Shrink....it's good to here from you! You will have to post another pic of You & DH from your Honeymoon!!!!!! Pretty please!

    Foots.....hope your having a nice Day!

    To Everyone from A to Z......Waves are Waving!!!

    Am going to sit on this pier awhile, then go for a walk on the sand, feeling it cool off my feet and hunt for some sea treasures.

    Hi beachies. Finally got my camera recharged and down-loaded.

    Here are da-beach-babeez-in-da-balls, celebrating their first half birthday: 6 months!!

    Thought I'd post this tonight, for a little visual hug for those that need one. Wish you could hear them babbling, gurgling, jabbering.

    Hi BeachAngels...

    I see the little Angels with their innocent chubby smiles...how kissable!  Wishing you all wonderful moments....

    Beautiful photos!  Thank you all for my cheering me up ...when I felt so down.  Only you dear sisters relate...and I thank you for lifting me up when I am so down.

    It's the weekend............. hope that everyone is able to have some nonsense, some giggles, some mirth, a few belly laughs, a warm hug, something decadent to eat, an uplifting email, and a moment's reflection on what is significant.

    Yesterday was glorious for me, in that I made some real progress on all fronts. Got the working CD of the 37 songs to the company that has commissioned it. Worked upstairs for a tad (studio) and did all kinds of grunt/paperwork/junk that always piles up.

    So today, it's get my haircut day (and cover those grannie-grays) and pack for the NY extravaganza..... fly out tomorrow. There's wi-fi in the airport, so I'll plan on a big beachie greeting once I'm thru security.

    LUV: sending you encouragement as you put the puzzle pieces together. I hear how heavy your heart is and I'm concerned for you, in that you've had so much to juggle and contend with recently. We're all here for you. Holding your hand.

    Footie: I know that you depend on our friendships here to give you the fun-factor in your days. Savor Lisa's pictures, Spar's kitties, Julz musical additions and all the joy that comes from seeing our old friends pop-in when they are able to vacation-at-the-beach...... shrink, saint, dream, harley, janny, amy, cheryl, Wingers, Mary Lou, Margo..........

    hey where are you CELIA and Sige?? your contributions are missed so much when you are on hiatus .....

    isn't it funny how 'real life' is trying to wrestle us away from each other?

    hugs to all, Sahalie must be getting ready to walk out the door.

    Jasmine, if by chance you're still reading along, we'll have a big bonfire party for your return.

    must get moving, packing, sorting

    **I am participating in a BC study this morning, on BC and musicians, should be interesting -- this morning is an hour telephone interview..... it's part of a research study. VERY VERY VERY insightful -- the steps up to this point of the process.

     A crazy wet weekend on my end of the Beach & Hoping the Clouds will clear! But not Likely!

    Faith ~ So true your Words! Sometimes our lives out side of Here take our fun time from here! Sometimes for fun & some times not! When times are hard at our Homes. It is so hard to come on here & be Cheery! I know we don't have to bottle it up & hide it here! But it's not some of us to bogg everyone down with everyday or even family things that don't have anything to do with Breast issues/cancer! 

    I do think of everyone Daily, Even though my time lately has been very little here! I often stop & think how is so & so Today! Just because I can't express it lately doesn't mean it's not there in my Heart thinking of everyone!

    Since this is almost the end of Breast cancer Awareness month....

    Hey there beach buddies.

    Writing Circle started again.... so here is my first piece (I was too late the week before to write).....

    Clomping through the forest, disturbing the birds while their cart is dragged over rough stones and soft mud.  They can't see me, I am the bird.  My voice rings through everything.  My tiny heart, seeks a soul. 

    Time shifts and as it squeezes back, I, the bird am beneath the hot sun.  The land is arid and the air dry.  Small as I am I find refreshment in the cactus. 

    Time shifts again, and I am no longer the bird.  I am fifteen and my mother stands above me yelling.  As tight as her fingers grip my hair is as tight as I feel inside.  I am protecting that which is most precious - me.  She cannot harm me.  She cannot sway the course of my life.  I am beyond the teen held captive by hurting maternal hands.

    I have found myself adrift.  Not quite "something".  Itss peaceful.  But I struggle.  I am not yet ready to be at peace.

    The air comes in and flows out - not enough to keep me alive and full of energy.  Is this where I start to fade like a butterfly in fall?  I sleep dreamless sleep and sleep again.  Not enough breath, not enough air, not enough life.

    I know, I know it is another "heavy" piece.  But I barely remember writing the last paragraph and scared myself reading it to the group.  Great way to get several minutes of silence - shock them.
