Just this morning I whispered to Willa -- our biggest dog -- because she's not supposed to be in our bed and I didn't want Len to hear. We got caught!

For years we lived close to the Wild Animal Park in San Diego where we would go quite often. The photograph is of my niece Ashley who worked there. Last night I was in awe as we watched a video of an elephant giving birth, followed by the mother's determination to revive the baby after it appears to be dead -- it wasn't. Amazing!

What role does color play in your life?

Laurie

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 15, 2009:

Color plays a significant role in my life. As a Holistic Health Practitioner I incorporate the energy-based modality of Color Therapy in my private practice every day. My favorite color is green. The energy (frequency) of green corresponds to the heart. When I am writing or speaking in public, I wear blue.

Red: survival; self-preservation
Orange: pleasure; self-gratification
Yellow: personal power; self-definition
Green: love; self-acceptance
Light Blue: creativity; self-expression
Indigo: intuition; self-reflection
Violet: Divine connection; self-knowledge

What would you like to celebrate?

Last night we celebrated friendship. Four couples got together and we enjoyed a wonderful meal and great conversation. Because our gatherings are based on respect, honesty and love for each other, the time we spend collectively is uplifting and rejuvenating.

Geese add at least 71% greater flying range by flying in a "V" formation than if each bird flew on its own. Similarly, by sharing a common direction and sense of purpose with friends, we get where we're going quicker and easier because we are traveling on the thrust of one another.

Where have you found contentment recently?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 13, 2009:

Different than joy, contentment--happiness--is a feeling that fluctuates based on external circumstances. Joy is a state of being. It is inexplicable peace, regardless of the circumstances.

I can find contentment--happiness--just about everywhere; some places I have to look harder than others. Joy is not something I find; it resides internally--regardless.

What form of art moves you most?

Posted on Nov 11th, 2009 by

Laurie

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 11, 2009:

I can become immersed in a beautiful painting, or awed at the grace and strength of bodies painted in the air with dance which seems more like magic than movement. But the form of art that moves me most is the written word. Thoughtfully constructed language that can make me laugh, cry, or clench my stomach in fear -- leaving it to my imagination to illustrate the scenes as I lose myself in the pages.
