He shines wherever he goes and embraces every human heart. He picks up all the children of the world and takes them home to our hearts. He is laughter. He is the brightness of the day and the warmth of the Sun. He will see everypart of you, the darkest and the lightest of parts and help you to wash away all that is not you! He helps you to see that You are All There is!!
I am seeing when I speak to you it is my voice I am hearing, and my eyes I am looking in. When i look in at you, it is me I am seeing and who I am falling in Love with. When I touch your hands and long for you to reach towards me, it is me I am longing for. I am melting into me, in everyone I see!
You can read this all, I would if I were you.
I have had this re-occurring dream since around the age of fifteen. I would be right in the midst of enjoying something I love, whether it be a kiss, or a performance, or giving a speech, and time and time again I would be interrupted as I choked on a giant ball of bubble gum. The gum was extra sticky and would cling to the inside of my mouth, wrapping itself around my gums, and somehow finding its way down my throat, choking me from the moment I was about to take in. The dream would carry on with the incessant interruption from the gum…and after sometime another disruption would come to assist the bubble gum’s antagonizing; a curse falling over my eyes, blindness. I suffer from bad eye sight in my waking life, though rarely does this pose any problem as I switch between contacts and fashionable framed lenses to aid my genetic mishap…but in my dreams the blur comes to life and slowly I begin to stumble as blindness drags me down just before my moments of triumph.
So the bubble gum and the blindness are my fears…do you follow? Of course you do. Those fears can’t keep me down anymore.
Last night I triumphed. I was with Madonna, and not just any screaming crazy fan, but a close friend and her lead dancer. I performed on tour with her in front of countless fans, in a massive arena. The beat of the music pulsing my blood, I looked down at myself and could not believe this was me, I was a mix of Justin Timberlake and Madonna herself. There was a table to my left backstage, with packages of gum…and kept finding myself at the table shoving huge pieces into my mouth. I would go out to perform the next song, and the choking would begin, but instead of the normal pattern I simply reached to mouth and removed the gum. It was that easy. I kept dancing as Madonna and I hypnotized the masses, I felt God flowing through me and life pulsating my very form. The blurring eyes came next, and I started to fall on the stage, but magically I lifted my head rubbed my eyes, and kept them wide open, carrying myself through my feet stepping through time.
I came to the end of my dream, Madonna by my side holding my hand, her smile wide. I stood there facing the crowd, brow covered in sweat my body humming with glistening eyes. The audience screamed, a sound so loud I thought it could break me in two, I let me head hang and my ears fill with the cry of their voices, cheers flooding down, that was the moment I knew… I was the fans, everyone of them, and I was cheering for Me.

Have you ever explored what is inside your heart? If you place your hand on your chest and pretend it has ears to listen, its so fun to notice what you hear…What if everyone knew that Love resided right inside our being? And what if that Love surrounded us on every side? A love every one of us longs for, unconditional with no end. This love is like the sun, a huge flamin ball of Light sitting right inside each heart, we can’t see this brightness as it has been covered up by fantastical stories of lies and misperception! As I question, ”No no I am not this light, how could that be true?”
But to remember this will be the greatest story of all time…I am in Love and Love is in Me.
“From every angle and from every side resounds the Call of Love…I am going to the sky, who wants to come with me?” – Rumi
I love them.
So I am back on the refined sugar in full force, a month cleanse did me good but, I just couldn’t resist any longer.
This led me to Le Pigeon a quaint french haunt off East Burnside and 9th Avenue. It was a night of dessert and wine only, which I didn’t mind in the slightest.
The brick walls and rustic tables with linen napkins and mismatched plates made me feel like I was back in France savoring a romantic dinner over wine and candlelight. We started with delicate puff pastries filled with foie ice cream then drizzled with warm carmel and dusted with powdered sugar and sea salt. It was insane. The balance of flavors and richness of the foie added to the ice cream made this far from a light dessert.
Next was the savory sweet apricot and bacon cornbread topped with a thick scoop of maple ice cream. All I can say is this was delicious, and with out a doubt one of the best desserts I have ever eaten. The tang of the apricot balanced with the salty bits of cured bacon, was like your favorite breakfast combo but enjoyed with a glass of Muscadet Sèvre et Maine instead of OJ.
We finished our affair with a devils food cake bombe, drizzled with creme anglaise. Oh my god! This was not only beautiful but perfectly satisfied my chocolate craving I had been going through this week. It wasn’t too rich, actually had a surprising lightness and presented with perfection.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of hittin’ up this Portland dig, you must put it off no longer. http://www.lepigeon.com/

I ask you friends…why eat shit?
I know mom said it was ok, but 3 coca cola’s a day and hand fulls of chocolate chips can’t be good for anyone…
Oh my childhood, so long ago…but i can still feel the sticky residue of soda on my teeth. gross. Everyone remembers Mrs. Odwenweller’s 5th grade experiment where they put a human tooth in a liter of coke for like a week and it totally disintegrates…terrifying isn’t it?
Twelve years later and I don’t crave the soda like I use to…in fact it has been 13 days since i have been off refined sugar altogether and i feel fabulous! Didn’t have a lot of sucre before, but thought I’d kick it to the curb for good….that is until i can’t resist Crema’s chocolate banana bunt cake ( the greatest neighborhood bakery/coffee house ever…with hot baristas too.) http://www.cremabakery.com/
Onto the NO REFINED sugary treats i have been eating:
