An Open Book

       When you write a personal blog, chances are people may seem to know you. The inside and outside of my very dwelling. My daily prayers and curse words. Pets, family members, pain and happiness, I may be an Open Book. I think it was my grandmother that said, " Don't tell everything!" That concept is lost on me, wide open useless information that seems to resonate with so many. Its fun!
      For example this morning, I had a ping on the phone, that means a message is coming my way. One of my dear buds, who is in England these days, HTA asked me if I had heard the messages she sent me, about Mick Jagger! So I listened, a voice mail, dream sequence, about my Rolling Stone love, Mick. The smile I had was massive, I was tickled pink, that she knows me so well. ( It is nice when we randomly think loving thoughts of others!) ( and tell them)
       It reminded me, that time between visits, is a blink of an eye. We know, via the internet, so much more about each other. I take it a step further with a blog. A blog that started out in grief, and continued in personal growth and just for the joy of writing, thinking, living large! I reap the rewards of my exposure, and I hope one day when my kids, kids read all of my blogs, and laugh loud and long. Knowing that part of me lives in each of them. It is never just my story, its others as well.

     Now if you know me sooooo well, you know I had no plan for this to be the blog of the moment, but.. on a dime, things can change.
     My singular purpose today was to encourage you to one; have Netflix, two; binge watch both seasons of Chefs Table. I have enjoyed this series to my main aorta!! Inside the lives of so many different kitchens and lives of these genius people. I have hung on every word and picture, these artists of food.
Passion jumps off the screen, and inspires me to cook, explore, love harder, it is delicious.
I insist you watch it, life changing goodness.
    And just to keep you in the loop, my coup is empty. My only daughter, Princess Emma, moved out two days ago. We are very happy for her, to spread her wings, and put her own thumbprint on the world. I think she stayed at home so long, to look after us, following the death of our Ward. Plus she was the baby and only girl, I may have held on a little tighter!! Anyhow she is done grown! and gone. We celebrate all the things she will accomplish, with her Mother Theresa spirit of taking care of others. Have fun Em, make good choices, find joy and passion in all things. Love Love Love, you hardheaded angel.
    Until later, enjoy, share your story
