DID YE GET HEALED...

If your read my last blog post, you know I am going through the toughest period of my life. My vivacious and vibrant Aunty (whom I literally adore) is slowing down due to a diagnosis that may not give her too much longer to live. I am grateful she has lived well into her 80's and with so much enthusiasm and vibrancy. She continues planting the seeds of what will become her legacy (making everyone around her happy). Nobody can get enough of that wondrous Aunty spirit...most especially me.

As I write this I can hear her breathing while she sleeps in the next room. In a few minutes I will get her up and ready to go see one of her three grandchildren and four of her six great-grandchildren. My darling Aunty could not be happier. Aunty's grandchildren & great-grandchildren have not been able to see her for some time now. I expect a glorious reunion!

Also, these days, more than ever, Aunty and I make sure to step out into nature and in general, gravitate towards lovely surroundings. I am cleaning up my act around the house; clean out my car, re-arrange my office, and organize Aunty's bedroom. Aside from being with her family and friends, nothing makes Aunty happier than a clean and organized home. I will do whatever it takes to create that for her, just like she did for me.

We have been venturing out to the waterfall (mentioned in last post), and spend time at places like The Center at Westwoods featured in this post. We spent Friday evening there and soaked in all the good vibrations and healing energy.

reap some benefits just by looking

Our dear friend Tonia Pinherio was there to embrace Aunty with all the positive energy she had.  The healing bell, chimes, and chants felt miraculous. With a crystal angel above us, Aunty and I clapped hands, closed our eyes and sat side-by-side showered in loving energy.

No matter what is going on in your life...make whatever effort you can to spend some time outdoors, and in dwellings with good karma. I guarantee you will feel more free. You may even connect with some inner radiance. You may even get healed!

NEW YORK NIGHTLIFE (a reservation at RdV)

Like John Legend before me!

After my last blog post about my taste for the good life, I accepted an invitation to a party in New York. I may not travel a lot these days, but, a party in New York City makes up for all those walks along the Seine, and any al fresco dining in Tuscany, I am missing out on. Well, not really, but, you know what I mean.

A friend of mine was throwing a party for one of his big number birthdays. He rented out the New York hot spot RdV. According to the news, John Legend was definitely living it up at his 32nd birthday bash Wednesday at New York City hotspot RdV, where he celebrated with celeb pals, including Ne-Yo, Estelle, and even 'Jersey Shore' star Pauly D. And I can see why. The place is super cool. I loved it from the moment I waltzed in.

Sure, my white coat had a few dirt spots, and my diamonds were fake, but, the feeling of exhilaration I had being part of Big Apple nightlife (my old stomping ground) was Real. It was terrific.

Just imagine, standing in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by all the pretty people, sipping champagne, and dancing to outrageously good songs like Slipping into Darkness, by War, and Gil Scott-Heron’s, In the Bottle. When Tower of Power’s, Down to the Nightclub came on, I got everyone on the floor and we lived out the song!

All I had hinted at in a few previous posts was that I would love a fun night on the town, and next thing I know, I am in New York City’s Meat Packing District partying like it was 1999! Stay on this blog, and let’s keep living the good life as best we can.

One of the party guests, who had not seen me in ten years, declared… “Renee, you have not aged one bit since I last saw you!” I don’t know about you, but, I am staying with this blog. It works.

If you can’t get to New York, and you don’t want to go out in the cold, turn on any of the songs mentioned here. You’ll warm right up, get the urge to dance, and rid yourself of any winter blues.
