Greetings!

November is my month of family birthdays which include my niece, my husband, my son (and a couple of dear friends). This year my son, who lives and is doing his post-doc in Raleigh, NC, turned a big 25! The entire family decided to visit him and help celebrate this stepping into adulthood (in my opinion of course). The weather in Raleigh was amazing and more like spring than autumn with winter around the corner. This is also Thanksgiving week in the states and that gave us more time to spend with my son and some dear friends.

Whispering harm where harm is not

I am always amazed at the creative nature of human beings. All you have to do is take a look around, where ever you are, and see the creativity in front of you. For example, the computer that you work and play from is such a creation. The house or apartment that you live in is another amazing piece of creation, complete with protection from weather, heat for warmth and cooking, water for drinking and bathing and represents pure creativity. The art on the wall or the blanket that you sleep beneath were once a part of someone's creative thinking now made concrete. What is even more amazing is our ability to use this creative ability within ourselves to hide, defend, shove aside, bury forever that which we do not wish to deal with - otherwise known as FEAR.
