I can't even take sleep without the past haunting me. All I could hear was a song that reminded me of why I'm here:

"Where is my love?

I'm getting lonlier in the nights.

The words you send with your eyes,

I can feel with my hand.

So many nights have passed,

My heart is going to you as I shed my sad tears.

You're the face I miss."

Have you ever had love stolen from your sight in a single moment? I have. You don't know what happens when emotion takes the place of sanity. Cause and effect are one in the same. We are pulled from the loop of our lives and the order of things becomes unbalanced. Balance is something I have sought for years. I was ignorant of their existence, but with the knowledge gathered; I have realized that in order to right past wrongs, there must be dissolution.

I'm ranting again. It's love. In real life, we only live in each other's hearts. Do you ever wish you took a different path? Done something different? Have you ever wished you could change the past? Well, wishing it and making it happen are two different things. You could save millions of lives or only the one that matters the most to you. Most people shrug that question off. I'm not most people.

I can make sure it doesn't happen again to anyone else. I loved her. Everyone kept telling me to accept that she was dead, and that I was powerless. They were wrong. There are others out there that will listen, we just have to find each other. I want to make things right.

This girl walked in the store looking for stuff from the fifties for her sister’s birthday. She came over to me and said “don’t you get bored here all day alone? I said “yes” She said “do you have any bored games I’d play with you? “No.” I said. “I like your tattoo it is real? I asked. “No but I wish it was she said. Can you tell what it is? I look at it. I think I know but I’m too scared to say anything I say “I’m not sure.” She says “sure you can.” Making me feel like I can do anything and know everything. “It’s an m she says.” I thought so I say, is that a d? “No it’s a 5 everyone thinks it’s a d she says. It is my 5 favorite loves.” I remember the first and last. The first the lord I admire that not many people put the lord first but here was this lively girl who loved life and the lord. I was awe inspired by her kind of star struck in a way. The last “my love” is all she said. I think she asked me if there was anywhere I spent time so we could spend it together I freeze up like the shy girl I can be at the worst of times. I can’t think I say no. I feel so guilty maybe I missed my chance to be friends with this lovely girl. She’s about to walk out she has to be off to other things I think and say to myself I cant let her go I need to try something I shock myself and say “wait, this might sound strange but do you have an e-mail? She says “no it’s a waste of time she likes to go out and experience life just a fake e-mail that’s all.” Off she goes out the door only leaving a “Have a beautiful day my love.” She is gone and I feel bad I should have given her my number. I need this positive girl this god loving girl back in my life. I miss this stranger I only knew briefly. But she is gone and doesn’t return. I wonder if I’ll ever see her again. I hope so. So I will say to you have a beautiful day my loves.

Dear Blog Buddies,

I am really looking forward to the Beijing Olympics. 08.08.08. Sounds great!

Love the Olympics. As a parent you can't help wondering....hmmmm.....I wonder if that will be my son/daughter one day, up there receiving the gold. Nice little day dream.

On the other hand I feel unsettled about human rights in China and the annexation of Tibet. Also whenever I see the Dalai Lama with his warm, infinitely compassionate smile and grace as a political leader in exile, unable to return to his homeland, it really upsets me.

It just seems rather odd and confusing to see the Olympics and the Dalai Lama holding apparently opposing views of China.

The Dalai Lama always looks like he is about to burst into great big belly laughs at any moment and he would be a brilliant dinner guest at a dinner party wouldn't he? Along with George Clooney, which of course goes without saying! You cannot help liking and admiring the Dalai Lama regardless of your political or religious views.

 How amazing would it be to have someone announce one day that you were born to be special, that you were born to enlighten the world and govern your country peacefully and with compassion, that you were in fact the 14th incarnation of the Dalai Lama? Wouldn't that just about blow your mind! And look how well he has handled that enormous pressure and how he has kept to his guns (sorry!) and persistently protested peacefully for the immediate and unconditional return of Tibet to it's independent status while governing in exile from Daramasala, India and being an ambassador for peace around the world. What an inspiration.

It made me think.....

We are all responsible for our choices. I truly believe that we each have the capacity to contribute to world peace in our humble lives, just as the Dalai Lama plays his part, we too can play our part.

What is your view of China?

I came across this cartoon and was struck by the enormous power of consumerism and how every choice has the potential to have a global consequence. It is so important to be conscious of our choices as individuals and as nations. Do you support China's annexation of Tibet? Are you sure about that?

Food for thought?

The way people meet each other has changed since the introduction of online dating. Today you can be extremely specific about what type of person you would like to meet. This is good because it will save you plenty of time.

One of the newest group of people to get started with online dating are fitness singles. This is for people who lead active lifestyles and want to associate with others just like them.

This makes perfect sense when you think about it. People who are on the go and do not slow down after work need a partner who can keep up with them and wants to do thing.

Whether you are seeking friendship, love someone to talk to or a partner to do activities with searching out fitnessloving is the way to go. Online dating sites offering matches for this type of crowd are pretty easy to find.

Also online dating services which cater to people looking for companionship from other active people. Some dating services will even give you the opportunity to select a dating partner based on a particular sport.

This is great as you can narrow down from someone who is active to a sport you both like. If you love to golf why not date a golfer. If you are into extreme sports like water rafting there is a mate out there just for you. All you have to do is find them.

Other fitnessloving categories you could search include aerobics, bodybuilding, cross country skiing, curling, fishing, hunting, para gliding, rock climbing, scuba, tennis, water polo, wind surfing, and more. If you do it you can probably find someone to do it with.

Here are 2 things to keep in mind when joining a fitnessloving dating service, you do not have to be a professional athlete, and you do not have to be in perfect shape. Very few of us are as we get older. There are still active people who are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. You may not be into sky diving, however, salsa dancing could be for you. There are various levels of fitness for everyone as well. Most dating services now offer the latest video and audio technology, text, email , chat rooms, and so on. Some sites offer audio chat as well, in this case you will not have to type when you are chatting with someone. This is multi tasking for the busy active person.

Fitnessloving is a great group of people to belong to if you lead a busy, active and single lifestyle.

Hi all: I just wanted to share some positive reviews for my book, Crazy in Lust. Apparently a man who read my book shared it with his wife who subsequently shared it with the office. Here's one review and I've been told there are more to come: 

"Thank you for allowing me to read Crazy in Lust. I really enjoyed it.

It depicted in detail the struggles of an addict--whether the addiction is to alcohol or in this case to a person. The description of life in AA was realistic. It showed in great detail how co-dependent we become and enabling when we live with these personalities and in truth become as sick as the addict. As I told you, I felt it was a bit too drawn out towards the end as it showed the long struggle this author had with this man. BUT, perhaps it needed to be that way to show how difficult it is to break an addiction. As someone who is familiar with AA/Al Anon I feel it would be beneficial to those of us who either live with an addictive personality or who have one ourselves. Of course, it can be argued we all have addictions just some are more destructive and/or unacceptable than others".

 Check out my book ladies and I think you may find something in there you can relate to; especially if you've ever been in a co-dependent relationship.
