Tish Hinojosa - Otro Vasito

Oye cantinero traeme otro vasito...yes, the tequila shots were being poured last night but thankfully no hangover today.  Just smiles of fun times and a roaring fire beneath the evening sky of my new transformed backyard with rope lights and a new sound system to listen too. Thank you Jason--you rock!!  Let the transformation continue!

Make me a Hercules

Thankful for my tribe of female weirdo warriors...too many to list but each has been the wind beneath my wings as I know I have been theirs at one time or another. Reminds me of the wonderful song by Sara Barellies-Hercules...  

...cause I have sent for a warrior from on my knees make me a Hercules.... as we lift one another. 

Vodka speaking!

About time for a shot of vodka indeed! ;-)

Dear Karma!

SARIOUS! No that's not spelled wrong either!!!

SFD #1

Shitty first draft-stuck in Gaty & up b4 sun --wishing I were getting ready for Tour de Houston bike ride. Can't do this! Especially since I don't do enough. I was supposed 2 b in New Mexico but cancelled trip 2 do my part. I want, I want, I want & don't know how 2 stop wanting!! I'll never be what I want, I'll never have what I want... I want him, I want us, I want you, I want, I want...

Spring Forward

Yep clocks spring forward this past weekend and so am I! Bags packed and onwards. Thank God spring break vacay this week to adjust to the time change. New Mexico trip had to be cancelled but on a positive note taking care of overdue home repair projects-thank you Jason! Your knowledge rocks!!  Other good news--great to be back on the bike again after a long two year hiatus.13+miles on Sunday and hopefully 20 miles on Sunday.

TGIF

Even more happier now that spring break is here!! Still -bummed had 2 cancel trip to NM. 

Something Tamed Something Wild

Mary does it again--how I love her music, which to me is like my own autobiography.  Her lyrics/songs just hit home so much.  She gets better with age too.

Yeah, I have a few shoe boxes filled with things that were jewels at the time and now treasures of my heart. So  many times I was foolish when I should've been wise but with age comes wisdom.
I have so many maps of places I've been to that are dear to me.  Some say that travel is foolish but I wouldn't trade that for anything.  The places, the people--what I'd give to hear bells ringing like in Belgium, Germany or Mexico.

Just last night, I woke up with something stirring in my chest-- a calling if you will but from a voice I've never heard and in a language that was foreign. Then the morning came and the sunlight was a reminder of that beam of light when the universe is smiling and ringing in synchronicity --like an explosion of fireworks.  Yes, something tamed, something wild.

Old Souls

The hardest walk

Hardest Walk

Megascops

I heard him again!

He came to me,

I had missed him 

How sweet his sound

for it so brought a smile knowing 

he was back 

until I realized his trill was not for me 

but still I was happy to hear him call for his mate. 

Friducha

I'm a big fan of Frida Kahlo- who was born way before her time. One is always asked who would you invite to lunch from the past if you could and first on my list would be Frida!! An Instagram fan has a beautiful homage to her & the post today simply took my breath away!  Profound & appropo this Valentine's Day weekend coming up. 

 You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won't let you sleep.

You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin.  

You deserve a lover who wants to dance with you, who goes to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions.  

You deserve a lover you listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn't afraid to fall. A lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope. 

Here's to hope!

Out of sorts

Feeling out of sorts & contorted -car got hit this morn on way to work. Side swiped on passenger side but not my fault. I'm

OK I think-starting to feel achy somewhat. Not a headache I need right now to deal with. :-(

Around the corner

Dignificada

Grateful for the friends and family that were/have been the wind beneath my wings. 

Screen door

Screen door... slams and it's good riddance to the month of January among other things!  January-from the wee hours of day one we got started on the wrong foot and day 2 & 3 were such a blur trying to recuperate from the trip back home & being sick. Your days were long, and longer and the days off were short. You took the lives of so many in the first four weeks of the year. :-(

There were a few moments --the celebration of my parents 59th wedding anniversary & will begin making plans for 2017. 

In closing, sure enjoyed opening that bottle of Patrõn! Here's to a few more shots in the coming weeks!!

Now off to sleep while listening to the suave voice of Pepe Aguilar-yes I'm obsessed!! 

Edge Of A Dream (Orilla De Un Sonar)

Beautiful song by Tish. Need to dig this cd up--I wore it out years ago when it first came out.  Love how she goes from English to Spanish effortlessly! 

The Colors Of Eve

But a strong gentle touch

And a sunset that lingers

Are the things that her 

Dreams are made of...

Nights of white passion
And deep shades of blue
These are the Colors of Eve

Beautiful song by Dan Fogelberg! So many music artists that have passed and are greatly missed.
