Fly bird just fly.

Margo Channing is a Star of the Theater. She made her first stage appearance, at the age of four, in Midsummer Night’s Dream. She played a fairy and entered – quite unexpectedly – stark naked. She has been a Star ever since. Margo is a great Star. A true star. She never was or will be anything less or anything else.

I have to say Addison DeWitt is my favorite character in this movie. Love All About Eve. ♥

Cherie I am glad you are safe. 🙂 I was concern because you said it would be
a 6 hour drive. Thank god you made it back safe.

Look at my beloved Disneyland. ♥ I prey for everyone affected. God Bless. ♥

Oh Sheba …. Cherie Thanks You so much for your Well wishes for My Safety! How did you know … We may run into trouble. The Cali Governor has declared a State of Emergency and requested Major Help. My area is safe from this Monstrosity but as I’m sure you’ve seen others are not so fortunate. We got evacuated from the conference this afternoon because of the Fire. The Fire jumped the 91 Fwy so it was closed and we got rerouted. We had to go all the way around Anaheim so a 2 hr. drive home turned into 6 ….. Bumper to Bumper!!! The Happiest place on earth had an orange back round for sure. Cherie is Exhausted …. Night-nite Sheba♥ …Nite All

Be safe Cherie, Loaf, Mcpoopoo, Taci and all. ♥

When Our World Falls Apart

When external factors shift we have an opportunity to rediscover our core which is the only truly safe place to call home.

There are times when our whole world seems to be falling apart around us, and we are not sure what to hold onto anymore. Sometimes our relationships crumble and sometimes it’s our physical environment. At other times, we can’t put our finger on it, but we feel as if all the walls have fallen down around us and we are standing with nothing to lean on, exposed and vulnerable. These are the times in our lives when we are given an opportunity to see where we have established our sense of identity, safety, and well-being. And while it is perfectly natural and part of our process to locate our sense of self in externals, any time those external factors shift, we have an opportunity to rediscover and move closer to our core, which is the only truly safe place to call home.

The core of our being is not affected by the shifting winds of circumstance or subject to the cycles of change that govern physical reality. It is as steady and consistent as the sun, which is why the great mystics and mystical poets often reference the sun in their odes to the self. Like the sun, there are times when our core seems to be inaccessible to us, but this is just a misperception. We know that when the sun goes behind a cloud or sets for the night, it has not disappeared but is simply temporarily out of sight. In the same way, we can trust that our inner core is always shining brightly, even when we cannot quite see it.

We can cling to this core when things around us are falling apart, knowing that an inexhaustible light shines from within ourselves. Times of external darkness can be a great gift in that they provide an opportunity to remember this inner light that shines regardless of the circumstances of our lives. When our external lives begin to come back together, we are able to lean a bit more lightly on the structures we used to call home, knowing more clearly than ever that our true home is that bright sun shining in our core.

That prayer is for N. Cali. God be with you. ♥

Holy One, you are our comfort and strength
in times of sudden disaster, crisis, or chaos.
Surround us now with your grace and peace
through storm or earthquake, fire or flood.

By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen,
sustain those who work to rescue or rebuild,
and fill us with the hope of your new creation;
through You, our rock and redeemer.
