You May Want to Get the Garden Hose

Do you like the TV shows that begin with the star in a crazy chase scene and then flash the words…’3 days earlier’…on the screen?

Yeah, me neither.

However…

Picture me standing in the garage amid a puddle of beautiful tangerine orange paint. Read more

For Nepal: May Love Expand Today

This is beautiful beyond words. Amen.

Jean Gendreau, Writer

This meditation is for the people of Nepal and India suffering from today’s earthquake.

I am one with all, one with love, dear Oneness, dear Holy Love. I breathe slowly and open to all that is. I breathe slowly and allow thoughts to dissolve. I breathe slowly. I melt into all that is. I melt into the One.

Sunday afternoon I found myself scoping out Allrecipes.com, trying to find a new Banana Bread recipe. I didn’t care for the one I had and I’d just cleaned out our freezer and found oodles of overripe bananas in a drawer. (I admit, some had been in there way too long so they went right into the garbage. I honestly didn’t think ripe bananas could get any worse…wrong!)

I still wound up with enough bananas to make 4 batches of Banana Bread. I did find one to try which included Sour Cream in the recipe and my family liked it! Here’s the link if you’d like to try it: Cathy’s Banana Bread . I do wish I would have put some roasted walnuts or chocolate chips (or both) in a loaf or two, but I’m sure we’ll collect more overripe bananas soon!

Actually that’s the side story… Read more
