“I am only one. But I am still one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.” — HELEN KELLER, 1880-1968, American writer and lecturer

Introducing these genuine gentlemen! Pictured here with me @mosaicmsc concert/live recording last night where we teamed up again for parking -- how good they have been to my heart these last few months as we have volunteered most Wednesdays and Sundays to get people parked and plugged in @Mosaic : a home where healing happens and people come alive! Me included! Thanks @mosaic, @mosaicmsc and especially these guyz for all the life-changing energy you share with me, us and the world! And plug for #mosaicparkingteam So good.

#noMoreAgism This is Anne and Ed. Two folks who some might refer to as "elderly" - I think elderly is just a term for our exterior selves fading and our interior parts being exposed. That's where the true beauty lies isn't it? They remind me of this and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be with them and work for them. I never got the opportunity to be with my "elderly", wiser, beautiful grandparents, whose souls I hear and read about: because they lived love and aided so many people in their time on earth. And because they were imperfect and I have learned from there mistakes because I've taken interest and initiative in knowing "who" they were not just "what" they were and whether they grew awesome grey hair or went bald or shrunk in various areas. I can love life on a level that I could not before. When I took them to the beach this day- I was shocked at how we were ignored. I think people are scared of becoming"elderly" -- and perhaps in denial of the fact that these bodies are superficial and wither and fade and disappear. I'm reminded of the relief that it actually is knowing my body is temporary! L.A. Can drive one nuts in #perceptionManagement ! From each day forward I will now look at that new marking on my skin or lack of firmness/what-have you and ask myself: Am I making good use of this body while I have it? Am I living a life that goes beyond the surface? Do I give as much money and time to others as I spend on that anti-aging cream and the very long showers I take to perfect parts of me? If the answer is yes to these-then bring on the age!!! I can look forward to the rest of this life and the one after without this "old" body of mine!

Imperfection; suffering when it doesn't seem right: when it is "unfair"; when it's all about the image.... Bottom line is we need community to help us out of valleys of depression and anxiety and we need support to start climbing the mountains ahead. And sometimes we just need rest and to let safe others in on our lives. This is all part of my story and I'm glad to have the opportunity to share part of it with the hopes of helping each other out. Thank you Central Girlfriends! (Retreat in Williams last weekend; 450 women).
