I wanted to start the odyssey by reminding you of our “magic”. You need a talisman to carry in your pocket, so if you doubt “us” you can remember that just the sheer fact we were brought together is a miracle. Once while I was traveling, I found an Eiffel Tower in the aisle on the plane. It felt magical and I kept it to remind me of our love. Years later when I was going through a rough time, I gave this to a wise friend who put it on his altar to pray for me to get well. One year later, when I was again filled with duress, I came home to find not one but two had arrived mysteriously in the mail. I was shown yet again of our love and “magic”. So, now I give you the 2nd Eiffel and pray it fills your life with “magic”. My Love, I pray every ounce of love that the Universe is filled with, pours into your soul today.

I started this blog, I don’t know how long ago. The intent was to find the little things in life to be happy about and turn it into art. But like many of us, time marched on and that never happened. That marching of time is something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately. When we let the perpetual-now escape us, then time slips from our grasp. Now I find myself in a situation where the things I do love are all but gone and what I have left is hanging by a fraying thread. If I want to re-emerge from this self-imposed cocoon, then I must galvanize. I must rescue myself. How? I think the answer lies within my the power of wholeheartedness, vulnerability, and courage. The thread is frayed but I can still pull myself up with it! I am embarking on a heart odyssey. For the next 90 days, I will explore and nurture those areas within myself that I have never touched and I will pour out gratitude, love, and appreciation towards my partner in an attempt to mend the frayed thread before it’s irreparable.
