my team leader.  i worked with a life coach a couple years ago...in one of my weeklies he wanted me to create a set of values to live by and keep me centered...at first from the list i could pick 20, piece of cake, then he wanted me to narrow down to ten, a tad challenging, then only five, core of who i am.  in all the values i chose, once we discussed them at length, they were the members and spirituality was my lead.

my "spirituality practice" it's every minutes of every day...in the forefront of my mind: how i want to love and come from a loving heart, how i want to experience life, making mindful choices, how i treat people, how i want to live in this moment.

place, find and create?...place is staying focused and grounded in my spiritual heart now...find and create in whatever i do...if i need to get reconnected to it, it's a hike, a quiet walk, a cuddle zone, listening to the ocean waves, watching the lake shore hiccup over branches and murk, petting my doggie or kitties while looking into their eyes as they fall asleep, reading a book, feeling the sun bathe and warm my eyelashes, watching the moon move, listening to and watching a hummingbird flutter for food at it's feeder, sitting on my porch swing and feeling the in and out breath of the universe...

Throughout the history of time develop a collective as to how the expressive arts connects to the senses, six senses.  Making sure the museum reflects all six senses so the viewer, listener "experiences" ...what works have been created and inspired from the joys of art forms: dance movement, music, singing voice, spoken and written word, painting, photography, glass blowing, mixed-media, laughter, beauty and theatre.

Loving and gardening.

On the planet, which would be in my life, universally, I'd like to have more acceptance and empowerment of others, joy, peace, love and an overwhelming commitment to respect for all living beings. 

Couldn't hurt to have a few more daffodils and dragonflies too.  :)

Go outside and "experience" nature...listen, see, smell, watch.  I like the birdie dances the bestest.  Always giving me great pleasure and peace...insights.

Never.  Definitely act younger.  Still a child at heart, living within the wonderment of the world.  Hubbie calls it "Lisaland"..."where are the dragonflies?"  I see the world as if I'm 8-10, as Curious George does.  There are the realities of adult-land, but I prefer not to live jaded and find having a bright, fresh, loving, naive spirit keeps me alive and enjoying this place called earth.   Life is just going way too fast. 

My Dad, when he was alive.  There was so much more depth to him, once he retired.  He had time to "be".  We became two people connecting and relating to one another rather than in our father-daughter role.  I wish we'd had more time to get to know each other before he left...

Militia who are raping and disfiguring the women of the Congo.  My stepmother, now that my father's passed.  The decision-makers in the military who make the call to send in more young people to die.
