Life Loves Me

September is ushering in so much love into my life that it feels like God is tickling me silly.

I have sooo many new people in my life. I am absolutely charmed. I've gained almost a dozen new private students whose personalities have endeared themselves to me that I find it hard to entertain thoughts of packing up and moving back east.

I'm still doing "Tango til Midnight" dance class with the goth crowd. I've just arrived home and I have a BSF class in the morning that I'm looking forward to at 9:00am. Life is busy... incredibly busy. And yet I manage my private time to write, read a book and play the piano.

I am tackling the Iberia Suite by Isaac Albeniz. It's not easy but it is a nice obsession during my quiet time.

As I romance life, I find that life opens up more possibilites before me.

"What do you want? What is your wish?" Life asks...

"I want joy, creativity, abundance, growth, love, fun and adventure." I say.

And in being present to the possibility of magic in a spontaneous moment, I find that wishes do come true. It's September... and it feels like God is tickling me silly with so much love.

Jnetsworld Keeps Moving and Grooving

So there! I've nixed jnetworld from blogtalkradio.

I decided to evolve it to simply "Romancing LA". I want it to grow to a show about romancing life and not necessarily just about my life. A conversation between fellow lovers of life, negativity slayers, bridge builders and lemonade makers.

A community of rugged angels that trek this world from Los Angeles and beyond that are creating lives as works of art that speak of beauty, elegant, compassion...

Calling all rugged angels, please introduce yourselves at myspace and call in to say hello so that I may put a voice to you at Romancing LA.

What the heck is a piano teacher doing hosting a radio show?

I host this show because I'm more than a piano teacher. I write but I am more than a writer. I dance because I am more than a dancer. I do many things; I am many things and write of living on multi-dimensions of experience and thought.

And parts of me struggle everyday to throw in proverbial little towels or tissues at the many possibilites of ways of being. I want to have my boo hoo moments. I want to have a lazy week or take a month long vacation or at least sleep in and not step out of my head and share my thoughts.

But Life kicks me into attention and back into Intention. I learn lessons from those that share their world with me. I learn lessons from people whose world COLLIDE with me. I am blessed by a passing hello.

And perhaps... the world out there... experiences little bits similar to what they hear from my world.

Jnetsworld's nixing from blogtalkradio has evolved to being "Romancing LA", a Saturday morning conversation to not complain about Life but to exalt it and to laugh at the comedy and look at the world with the freshness of a Saturday morning cartoon... not necesarily visually but definitely emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.

Some of you out there have stepped up and said hello, commented on my blogs, called into the show and many have become a special universe of friends and supporters and encouragers... and are rugged angels about the world.

Thanks so much. Without your hellos into my corner of the world, jnetsworld would not have grown and evolved as it has. Thanks for your generous sharing.

Uncentering the Egomaniac in You

It's back to school month and in jnetsworld it is BACK TO SELF month.

Is your EGO getting in the way like a troll that calls the shots as to when you can cross the bridge?

We all have egos and they love to wear different masks and the particular one I am addressing this month is the fearsome troll that takes over one's better interest.

Last week in "Games Egos Play" we talked about the different masks one may find oneself wearing. Are you a certain person with your parents versus your friends or your colleagues? When you're the director of your life and you don't know that you're wearing a look that is no longer working for you and you are stuck in a script, how do you evolve to enjoy an authentic and spontaneous life?

Forgive yourself first and let's stop taking the stage too seriously. It's time to play in the prop closet and see what is there. Awareness doesn't have to be a scary thing.

This coming week's show is called, "Putting Away the Mask: Uncentering the Egomaniac in You." I'll be piecing my thoughts together and welcome your thoughts.

Call in to say hello.
