Frolina Petunia Is Coming Home!!!
In just 3 days I’m embarking on a long journey to my old desert home to bring back THE MOST PRIZED TRAVELLING KITTY IN ALL OF MARATHON TEXAS AND BEYOND!!! (more…)

When I’m around Joseph, which is all the time I suppose, I find myself laughing at the most terrible things. Shockingly inappropriate things. And I feel awful afterwards.
Looking at a photo together…
Me: “… I think she looks pretty good in this photo.”
Joseph: “Hmm. Yeah. Obviously the cuteness fairy didn’t sprinkle her with cuteness dust.”
Me: “Babe…Wow. Men are so much bitchier than women! That’s horrible.”
Joseph: “Come on! Okay, maybe. But come on! She looks like she ran through the ugly forest blindfolded and hit every ugly tree.”

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
~ Wayne Dyer
This is an incredibly powerful truth. In fact, I’ve been finding everything changes when the way I feel about things changes. And when that happens, my energy shifts into a higher gear, and an opportunity for a peaceful life opens up. Permanent peace and happiness. Good things are attracted into my life. More of what I’m thinking of is drawn towards me. There is a lightness to my step, and I am now finally finding, a freedom from fear. Despite what many would feel are unwanted complications to deal with and intense, persistent encounters that would be worrisome to some, this past week has turned into the happiest and most content I can remember for a long time. Without going into specific details I will try to illustrate exactly how powerful a new perspective can be.

That Summertime Smell
Yay for skirts, coconut oiled skin and flip flop tans! Travel is gently nibbling at my heels again, but only for a quickie. I want to be in a boat. And if I can’t be in a boat, a treehouse. I know however, that surely I will soon be sleeping in a boat. Aside from those important issues, I feel a huge sense of relief. An unburdening. Life is beautiful in its fleeting love affair with us. I’m honoured it chose to love on me so passionately. I’m blessed it squeezed us up against each other so unexpectedly… the Christmas present I’m still unwrapping…
… and so, the peace, happiness and contentedness that alluded me for so many years is gently flitting on my shoulder like a butterfly. I only have to stop what I’m doing, stop wanting, and feel the present moment to enjoy everything that I already have in love. And so I spend my days flitting between contentedness and my usual restless dreaming.
A New Dream
The colours were almost unbearably bright. The sun flared through my eyelashes. Delicious excitement pulsed through me as I bit into a plump mango, the juice running down darkly tanned twiggy arms. And as I started to slip away from the dreamworld, I saw myself standing on the edge of a cheerfully painted simple wooden boat, wearing a beat up string bikini and little skirt, atop skinny little fruit-fed legs that knew exactly where they were going. A hand-strung hammock lazed seductively under a sunshade, and I knew there was food and a few belongings stowed away beneath me. My black cat watching out at the bow.
Unfortunately the excitement of hitting on something that buzzed me up so much woke me suddenly. But as I backtracked over the dream in those fast-melting moments of dream catching I remembered how I spent my days visiting islands, speaking a strange language, picking fruit and buying gasoline, colourful people I met as I floated from shore to shore. Then I remembered how it all began – Joseph decided to go on an incredible adventure, he got a boat and I wanted to go with him so badly. But then I realised it would be more fun for each of us to have a small boat of our own to adventure around in.
I want this. So badly. And I keep dreaming of Belize.
The World’s Most Dangerous Trail
These Guys must be crazy to walk on this trail. The Caminito del Rey is closed since four people died in two accidents in 1999 and 2000. However the regional government of Andalusia made a restoration plan which will cost about 7 million €.
I would LOOOOOOOVE to do this trail! Before the restoration of course
Thanks Tony Salinas!
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
