Sharon in Wonderland

Clearest skies from here to Dallas Wind never spoke to me this way Shining rays gallivant my window Thank you God for another day Birds sing songs I've never heard Ants travel places I've never been Bees smell sweets I've never known This beauty holds close to my skin I always drew lines around my mind No time to let her just run free Today I awoke with nothing more Than the image of my black wood tree No more divisions of space and time Or labels to induce man kind Just a world that simply puts Sweet appreciation on my peace of mind

Happiness is a wine of the rarest vintage. A beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight. I had a fun little photo shoot with myself today! (Click images to view them larger!) I thought you all might like to see some of the pictures. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so I'm taking words out for once and SHOWING my happiness! (No words?! OH noes!, Ok don't freak there are a few words of wisdom at the bottom!) This is a short post, but it has a good message I think! Enjoy the little things! Take a deeper breath of air. Smile just a little wider. Laugh just a little harder. All these small things add up and make your day a whole lot brighter. Brighter days mean better moods which mean happier lives! And we could all do with a little more HAPPY! Cheers to a great week, Sharon

It matters how we feel. A second of time is nothing more than a moment of our life. A moment we will never get back. These moments I've let pass me by...these moments I've taken for granted... I'll never get them back. Those are done. What a wonderful life I've had, I only wish I'd realized it sooner. I want to call it a waste, my life thus far. I haven't accomplished much of what my destiny expects. And I find it strange how these epiphanies come from so deep in the night. I'm just one person, one soul. I can believe I am well versed in the ways, but in reality, I know nothing. It's amazingly beautiful-- the unknowing. A part of me wants to be afraid, but the other part is a warrior immersed in the glory of victory. I'm not far from average. I'm not a legacy in the making. I'm not someone everyone knows. I'm not the role model of our lives. I am Sharon Chaline. I think and I act. I love learning more about myself and my world. This life ...

Bonjour friends! I visited my favorite home away from home on Saturday! New Orleans: The Big Easy! Boy, do I have a blog for you! This one is going to be FILLED with pictures and a little chat about my trip. (That involves hoaxing you to visit!! No matter HOW far you live, it's worth it!) Thankfully, I only live about three hours from New Orleans, so I am able to visit frequently. This year's French Quarter Festival was jivin' with the sound of that graceful piano, foxy saxophone, sensation of southern cuisine, vision of exquisite art, and shopping! Known for Mardi Gras, Jazz, food, and one hell of a party, New Orleans isn't just about fun. (Even though it's a sure guarantee!) The city has been through hardships many cities in the nation can only dread. Hurricane Katrina blasted the city into oblivion in 2005, but thankfully the city is doing MUCH better now. I was really happy to see the improvements since my last visit in 2008. New Orleans also suffers one of th...

Turn off the TV, the radio, the stereo. Turn off whatever is thinking for you. I want your mind. I want your soul. I want your head. It's time to accept the reality of it all. We're brainwashed. They think for us. They strive to make us like them. They want us to hide from ourselves. Too many of us are different. Too many of us are unique. Gandhi said it perfectly; be the change you want to see in the world. It doesn't have to be a sad day when the world wants you to conform to it. Oh contrary! It will be a beautiful day when you REJECT their reality and substitute your own! The mind is the most beautiful thing ever created. A thought is like a flower. It takes just a seed to grow...a few drops of water...just a little love and care to make it something incredible. Treat your mind like a flower. Treat it right. Give it exactly what it needs and what it yearns for. If someone else is growing your garden for you, where is the satisfaction when the outcome is a work of art? If...
