I just felt like posting a diary to let everyone know that you are the boss of yourself. No one has authority over your life except for what you allow or acknowledge. Okay, Death and Taxes. And, the taxes thing is optional. Just get a dopey hat and staple on some Lipton bags. Ha.
I went to my gym this morning to start the day with a lift. Double entendre intended.
I know some people might think, Oh, I don’t want to spend time with a bunch of skinny, pumped little Britneys. But, the place I go has mainly mature gals wearing just baggy stuff. No mirrors. Great, pumping music. I talked to two lovely gals, clearly fairly old who were having fun, working out and chatting away. One, Mary Ellen, is 85! and the other, Sue is 83. Yes! The calm, sweet souls who got out this morning to do their faithful routines really showed me that at any age we can take control of our lives.
You can too. Whether it’s working out, or gardening, or working with community groups for social justice, there are always ways we can be responsible for healthy attitudes, taking care of ourselves, and being a part of a support group for others.
Happy Spring Saturday all you Firepups.
Lifting you all up, Love, Demi.
You Are the Boss of You |

Hey, ya’ll. You don’t have to read this or reply. Just wanted to share a hug and some support in these challenging times.
But, you can let me know if this helps at all.
” Some call us the Conscious Army.
We are slowly creating a new world with the power of our minds and hearts.
We follow, with passion and joy.
Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence.
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking. Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~ Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites ~ Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness…
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways – with our own unique gifts and talents.
Be the change you want to see in the world !
That is the motto that fills our hearts.
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place. “

Bless you for that uplifting comment.
God, Jehovah, Allah, Whatisname be blessed.
And, keep creating.
Thank you, bluebutterfly.
Powerful words..It was a good fit with your diary, I thought. Glad that it lifted you up as you were doing for others. Instant karma..sort of..’g’.
The wonderful singer, Susan Boyle, sang a song on a charity CD in 1999. On it she sings ‘Cry Me A River’. She is an example of the power of one voice to influence many. We sure can’t all sing like Susan, but we can use our voices to create that new world. Hope you enjoy the video.

Love ya back, D.
Mare, mare. Never too much love. I could dance with you forever.
Demi, You are part of the blessing, and yes, we/I need the reminder. It is so easy to see the struggle, the jerks etc etc etc. A much needed new perspective…thank you. And I got some ginger beer so I can toast you. Cheers. B
I’m merely part of the conversation, but thanks. To tell you the truth, I’ve never even tried the stuff, but, I better go find some so I can toast you back.

Never give up a dream. They laughed at Susan when she said she wanted to sing as good as Elaine Page. Just guess who offered to sing a duet with her?

HOGARTH
When eyes meet in silence
A pact can be made
A life-long alliance
That won’t be betrayed
Be friendly, befriend me now
A friend is a friend
Nothing can change that
Arguments, squabbles
Can’t break the contract
That each of you makes
To the death, to the end
Deliver your future
Into the hands of your friend
WOODLAND CREATURES
Be friendly, befriend me now
HOGARTH
A promise is a promise
A handshake will seal it
No amount of discussion
Can ever repeat it
Commitment forever
To borrow or lend
Deliver your future
Into the hands of your friend
BADGER
When eyes meet in silence You need a pact
A pact can be made
A life-long alliance CROW
That won’t be betrayed Won’t be betrayed
You need a mate BADGER
When facing the end You need a mate
What is the fate
Now facing my friend? BADGER
Facing my friend What is the fate?
What faces my friend?
HOGARTH and WOODLAND CREATURES

Deliver your future
