Off to Sacramento in moments ... yet another stop on this year's exposition circuit.  I'm starting off with a Starbuck's stop ... to set the tone.

Hi, Olga, I don't mind shopping, but it's the crazy L.A. traffic that tries one's patience. And, it's chilly all around Los Angeles. Keep up the inspiring work!

Deb, don't let the snow get you down, at least you'll have a "White Christmas"! Get out that old Bing Crosby rendition of the classic yuletide diddy.

Joe, I don't drink a lot of coffee, mostly iced green tea most of the day. If I do, I like to "doctor" it up with a sweetener and some flavored cream. What's your favorite coffee brand? Give it an endorsement here, maybe they'll pay you as few extra bucks! lol 

Christian, I'm with you, my life is clicking now, too. You're right, 2012 won't be the "gloom and doom" so many are predicting. I think we can "dodge" any crisis by staying focused and positive on our goals. As I've said before, fear and doubt are our real enemies.

Hello Everyone.

About working from home: I used to think that my mind will not expands as wide as it should because I have very limited human contact and was worry that its a vital issue for proper development. But since turning my work into giving made my website as non-profit February 2011, everything was changed. Artists depending on special inspirations -muse, which is comes and goes as it please.  No matter how much talent artist have, without of muse present, there is no masterpiece will be created. When I started  practicing that everyday giving, I felt that muse become more frequent "guest".

I don't feel my world "small" anymore. I feel more connected to the world that ever before. Well, maybe I am a "nerd", no question about, but guess I love to be one . I use computer as valuable tool, luckily my mind well aware about the amount of junk on the internet and learned how not to get a "side track". Connecting to mind-like people worldwide and a worldwide "library "of references. Building own virtual world as digital model of the real one in a gradual progress for the World Peace. Unfortunately when step outside in the real world, my heart aches to see  most of people are far away from understanding a true concept of real happiness. Even if they do, a domestic material life is most of the times take a top priority of thinking, under control of "narrow" mind's prospective. A socializing by physically meet and interacting with people is a sad "reality check". I feel many times a concentrated clouds of negative energies from stress and frustration, just when walking to a local supermarket, where the prices on groceries increasing monthly. I have so much compassion and empathize to people. I been in their shoes just a year ago. I do my best with small things: smile, honest compliment, uplifting short conversation, etc. But when getting out of there, or getting off a jam-packed traffic streets full of madness, I can't wait to come home, to my peace and solitude and feel so much gratitude for this life I have, my real sanctuary where I nourishing inner peace, so I can give it to the world.

Yes, but only if it sticks to the roads!

jiminy cricket!  It's snowing here this morning! Not sticking to the roads, but it's pretty.  It's the second such snow we've had so far this winter, which is very unusual for the mid-south.

Karen said, "I'm also doubly lucky as I teach in an independent (private) school and have some great colleagues;"  ... we need MORE of this, ... it may be the only thing that saves us over time.

Gosh ... so many new and interesting threads and posts going on; alas, my life is [working], and so, it's like living in pop-corn at the moment.  I hope to get back into the swing of things sometime soon, ... till then, you will likely see me in fits and sputters.  Have a great day.

It is getting very chilly, you are right, Christian. I have the same feeling here, in a neighbor city Santa Monica, CA

Comment by Christian von Lahr on December 6, 2011 at 1:56am

We've started getting the winter chill down in the Malibu, CA area.  Won't have snow, but maybe some dense fog to rust out ol' santa's sleigh by Christmas time, I expect.
