Wherever one travels in the world or language spoken… Fundamental human needs; food, safety, shelter are quite universal. I think sex toys and snacks need to be added to the list… They too seem to be quite universal… “Desires”

Good night…Sweet dreams. XO

Following the setting sun, listening to her belt out her favorite song… The soundtrack of my life. Good night East, good night West, good night North, good night South, good night sun slipping away.

20130501-164437.jpg Going, going, gone… The day fades into dusk. My eyes are very sensitive to light, I see better at night. These magical rosé colored lenses allow me to look directly into the sun, enjoying the sunset. Yet, I hear my mothers’ voice,”don’t look directly into the sun you will burn your retinas!” That very sentence has fueled years of tireless searching for the PERFECT sunglasses, that would allow me to do just what she said I shouldn’t or couldn’t…. Opening my eyes wide, seeing everything clearly without squinting through a sliver of blinding light. The under-current theme of “shouldn’t, don’t, couldn’t,” imposed or shared by others in my early years is what has developed my curiosity/strong suit of “finding the answers, solving the problem, getting the facts.”… To my mothers’ dismay… When I trumped her “mother card,” giving her the facts of why I could and should! Now, that we’ve BOTH grown up, I am asked, “could you look this up?”…. How is any of this related? Determination, tenacity, passion, drive, curiosity, NO, sometimes wanting to prove someone wrong…opens up new ways of doing family, business, love, friendship, life…with eyes wide open and actually SEEING the world you live in. Funny, how my son has the SAME desire to find the … perfect sunglasses!

Good night…Sweet dreams XO

]]> http://greeneyesopen.com/?feed=rss2&p=679 0 Happy 1st Birthday… http://greeneyesopen.com/?p=668 http://greeneyesopen.com/?p=668#comments Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:06:57 +0000 michellelk http://greeneyesopen.com/?p=668 Happy 1st Birthday... One year ago today, April 18, 2012… Media Goddess R.K., said,”just do it, you’ll love it!” She was correct and I thank her from my heart for kicking my tushy over the “blogging ledge” and throwing NUMEROUS variations of lipgloss, lipstick, lipchap…as she understands that lip____ is “my cape” for all magic that I intend to create on earth. Sunday is my birthday and I intend to reflect, eat cake, celebrate with family and be with myself…presently. 2013 is the year of patience, grace, passion and courage. I pick a word on my birthday to live into for the year. Last year it was…Courage. This year it is PASSION! I recently spoke with a friend in her 6o’s that said, “Passion begets energy!” If you are passionate about something, someone, life, an interest, a cause…it is that passion that creates, is the source of your infinite energy. May I have the courage to live passionately! Thank you to all who have read and viewed the blog.

Good night…Sweet dreams XO
