I listened to speakingoffaith.org today while working on my own website (finally!) and was struck by the open and mystical humanity of Abraham Heschel. I jotted down so many of his pithy phrases like:

"Every word has power. The meaning of life is to build a life as if it were a work of art."

Um, wow. What is there really to say after that?

I not only enjoy listening to the delightfully engaging and enlightening show every week, but I have also immensely enjoyed host Krista Tippet's new book "Speaking of Faith - Why Religion Matters and How to Talk About It."

So my dear friend Becky needs to clean out her closet and I need to clean out much of my studio apartment, after that watch out! We may take the world by storm with our gatherings on romance and sex, or we might just create a few little flurries here and there. Whatever happens I know we'll have great fun, and have many great discoveries. Of late I've been having many very funny and honest conversations here and there about romance and sex (after being on a bit of a hiatus about it for awhile) with friends and co-workers and it has been a great joy how blunt everyone has been about what they like, miss, yearn for etc. It's always so enlightening and assuring when both sexes get real.

Yesterday I spent much of the day in bed with a nasty migraine. I've done too much of late and let myself get out of whack and I just needed to reset. I prayed for some obvious guidance (really really obvious) in how to move forward right now with balancing my work-for-pay vs. the writing and workshops I want to do for myself and I dreamt of going into my bedroom and finding the bed covered with Deepak Chopra books.

This made me smile as I am the owner of several Deepak Chopra books, two of which are heavily dog eared and underlined and from which I've created many of my "intentions" that I keep in a special journal - all of which I haven't been good at looking at or affirming much at all of late. So yes universe I hear you. After finishing my other work today I finally figured out how to better lay out my own website and even updated a dating article I wrote two years ago and posted it - for all of those confused people who look me up as a dating expert.
