My friend Polly Styron shared this with me. It is BEAUTIFUL.
Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film (4min. 23 sec) captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old. Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented. (2011)

Our friend Barb put this birdhouse up outside of Pam’s studio. Yesterday, Pam noticed that the bluebirds seemed to be staking out this real estate. Good choice. It is high up, protected from the elements. And of course the design had to factor in.
I sometimes wonder where the bluebirds of happiness live. I would like to join them, hang out with them more. Then I got this in my inbox today – a clue as to their location.
Take the worthiness that is yours, and let the “Fairies of the Universe” assist you. Stop taking so much responsibility upon yourself, and live happily ever after. Shorten that crevasse between where you are and where you want to be, on every subject, to now, now, now, now, now. Ride the wave. Just pluck the fruit… You don’t have to be the one who puts it in the ground any more. You can just skip across the top of things and pluck the fruit of all of the things you want. “Oh, fruit. Oh, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this, delicious this.” In other words, it’s all right there for you; it’s ready for you to receive it as fast and as soon as you will vibrationally let it in.

Last week I went to see Nelson. We are celebrating our one-year friendship anniversary.
Working with Nelson, one of the things that has eluded me pretty consistently is leading him. He does not think that being led is a good idea. And I don’t feel like trying to convince him of that with any kind of force is a good idea.
But last week, I set an intention to lead him. As I got out of the car, I started to pick up the rope halter and lead, and then opted instead for a Tellington Balance rein – a piece of rope with a leather strap attached that can be buckled to create a circle. After I groomed him, I got out the balance rein and looped it around his neck. He was fine with that, we have done that many times before. I fastened it high on his neck so that about 18″ of strap was hanging down. Then I started to walk, giving him a little tiny bit of pressure on the line as I stepped off.
To my astonishment, he started walking with me, nice as you please. This was the day after my cat Musia died, so I was pretty tender. I felt like crying. We stopped and walked and stopped and walked and changed directions and wandered all over his six acre field. No problem.
I realized that all the things I had been doing with him before had led to this. We were practicing. But there must have been some subtle piece that was missing – some imperfection in the practice and in my movement that didn’t tell him as clearly as I could have, THIS is what I would like us to do.
That day, I had a really clear picture of what I wanted. I wish I could say I had no doubt. That would not be true. I had no expectation. And I was OK if it didn’t work. Practice doesn’t necessarily make perfect. If you are practicing the wrong thing, or rehearsing the wrong state of mind, or forcing, no amount of practice will make that right.
The perfection that I practice with Nelson is this: Our agreement is that if it is OK with him, we will go for it. If it isn’t, we will not. That doesn’t mean that we don’t try hard, and work through some initial resistance. It does mean that we both have to feel successful and balanced at the end of our time together. And yes, we do.
