so, is that your Mom sitting behind you? And that cute lil face to the right...the one that 'didn't do it'
OK, about the fancy bean dealio.... Secret sauced some chicken (Italian dressing) and when I was done, put the meat up on a platter, opened a can of beans and poured the water from the can into the sauce, put the stove on high and boiled it for a few moments. Then put the beans in, set the timer for fifteen minutes and go play on the computer again.... (oops....) about five minutes later, I get this smell in the computer room. I'm thinking I'm such a genious...a chef d'la'frivio (I don't know what it mweans...I just say it as a joke) The smell gets stronger. I'm beginning to wonder why the dogs are running back and forth from the kitchen to me to the kitchen to me.....
hm,mmm. Maybe I'de better go look, eh? Burning beans. No kiddin, burning beans. Smells great, makes me want to call the fire department.
I forgot to turn the pan down.
So, perhaps my next recipe will include a manual on buying fire extinguishers, too.
smells greeeeaaaat ~ burning beans. oooh - y'know that has a nice ring to it 'burning beans' ...
the one that didn't do it ~ that'd be me (kidding, of course ~ its actually me, in the profile pic). the mother and daughter are gwyneth paltrow and her mother, blythe danner.
Through effective change in myself, first and foremost, I can effect change in my surroundings in a most genuine and compassionate manner. This means challenging my self to compassionate, encouraging, genuine and hostile-free exchanges. It also means contemplating my reaction to the thoughts, feelings and expressions of others, prior to acting upon them. When negative energy and thinking threaten to darken my path, I can brighten my way through the light of acceptance and positive energy. I choose ~ it starts with me.

"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." ~ Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea
"All of us live in exile in a real way. As St. Paul puts it, we see as 'through a glass darkly,' through an enigma, separated always partially from God and each other." ~ Ron Rolheiser, OMI

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs
"An illustration of activity in stillness is in the spinning of a top. At its greatest speed there is most apparent stillness, and we say the top is then ‘asleep.’” ~Isabella Mears
"A certain skinlessness goes with the ability to observe and describe feelings. This does not make for blithe unconsciousness. Writers are doubters, compulsives, self-flagellants. The torture only stops for brief moments." ~ Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty
