Hi Pierre
The weather in Australia is more unpredictable than its ever been...a sign of the times...four seasons in a day!
Perfect really, forces one to be in the moment.
I am very aware when my mind takes me anywhere other than the present and for the most part manage to pull it back to the now since that is all thats real!
Eckhart Tolle is an amazing visionary and I am very familiar with all his books, my favourite being A New Earth.
My background is Film and television and I am creative director for a music production company. All my family are creative...Singers, songwriters and producers...never a dull moment.
I have taken a big break and am looking forward to creating amazing things in 2009!
Hi Pierre ... the cricketers bodies are of no interest to me currently. I have a 15 month old beautiful baby boy and he is my interest so NO .... none of that stuff is vaguely interesting. Unlike Carlos Santana's great movement here on architects of a new dawn. This and like projects and connected people are of interest to me. I love all that they can contain particularly from a creative perspective. And the results that creativity can achieve for a better environment for us all to live (not survive) in.
Central Lakes is half way between the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore/Mooloolaba/Noosa) and Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. Hope that helps. We are here temporarily and do not overly enjoy this environment ... the energy here is not an UP energy .... obviously needs some help in this area. Doing all I can in that direction.
Dear Pierre,
The weather is Florida is wonderful, thanks to the humidity, which is not that high and disappears in winter, my curly hair is always having a good hair day!
The mosquitoes are only inland, I live on the ocean.
I do not travel for my work, I do all my consultations by phone, send an MP3 recording of your reading via email and currently have clients in 6 countries.
I do love your questions!
Love and hugs,
Cynthia
Nice!
I started drawing and painting like most children- when I was able to hold a pencil! But I would do it for an unusually longer time because I loved it so much!
My career is nurturing and nourishing my little boy. Honestly, Moms need so much help in that area. The world is ALL about career and making money ... well that's why we have so MANY issues. The world is meant to be about LOVE, caring, giving,sharing, nourishing, gratitude, thanks, and all ABUNDANCE comes from those places.
Having said all of that ... I am constantly lopking at ways to help new moms as my experience is that they have no idea and are not generically loving, honouring and giving to their little ones in ways that honour their little ones, themselves, and the universe. Huge stuff. Am working on making this my practise to 'give back'.
Travel ... I am happy to travel every day of my life. Indulging and emersing in cultures is a beautiful experience and so rewarding.
France, Canada, New Zealand, Fiji, New Caledonia, USA (New York, LA, Duluth, Grand Canyon, etc), Flinders Island off Tasmania, all over Australia, various islands off the east coast of Australia, ...... and there's lots yet to discover!
Here's to you indulging in all of the travel you desire ...
I love the sandia's but my heart is in the jemez mountains i grew up near their, but i always feel like mother earthshows me so much every day that i feel at home almost any where i'll post more pics soon and thanks for your being
Your name sounds Dutch :-)
Beautiful photos on your blog. I love mountains, I love nature!
Photography is one of my favourite hobbys.
AoaND attracted me, beacuase of it's goal, it's aim. But most of all, being amongst people, who feel, think and do the same, like myself. To make this world a better place for all of us. And also to let people know/see, what a beautiful place Earth is, how beatiful people, animals and nature are.
My way is showing this by my photos. To make people aware and conscious of nature's beauty.
Vancouver Island is very beautiful ...I do art as a living I have focused on painting ........there are many artists of these island ..
Your mountain photos are beautiful!! what are you digging???
I'm an Ayurvedic Therapist. And an occasional photographer for family, friends and relatives. I'm the photographer of our local political party and also for friends whom own a local-based website.
This weekend I will put some more photos on my AoaND page. They are on another computer.
Hi Pierre!
So far, so good (notebook) ... just delivered!
Yes, there are many ways to "message", here, it seems
Oh, I asked about the snow as we hadn't seen it before we moved to Md., and it just seemed so odd, it was so quiet! (being used to the beach) Nike
Hi Pierre,
Yes, Maryland... you've been everywhere!
Well, a good friend of mine asked me (to join this), he's a huge Santana fan, I'm all for any kind of positive good, (er, good will?), so that's how I got here! We agree on all things political, social, etc., musically, too, altho I must admit I'm more from the Taj Mahal/B.B.King, jazz, blues side of things, actually I like many different kinds of music... I was sort of afraid of this ???, I guess that's the bond here, so I'm a little out of the loop, but I do like what I've heard, a lot, don't get me wrong! I had just looked at the video (here), in Mexico, and after you wrote I looked THAT up, funnily enough, it's the same song! So, yes, I like that very much
What time zone are you in? NM is US Mountain time--- 2 hours behind the East coast, and an hour ahead of the West (Calif)
I would bet my friend has gotten a lot of the NM additions you mentioned! (smile) Nike
Pierre,
What is funny, about the Time Zone-thing, is that yesterday I wondered about it, and was looking at the time zone calculators you can download, and, hmmn, remembered the clock on this (Apple), is a world clock, had never played with it, but put in SA, and it spins to the current time, there! Isn't that funny? Sort of an amazing little thing (an old-fashioned clock face, so it just spins forward or back, depending on what you enter)----- well, anyway, it reminds me (this site), of having pen-pals as a kid, and that something like this (site), is a good use of the internet, just for that reason
thanks, i was afraid i'd be booted off for not being a die-hard fan (what am I saying? I may just well be!) I'm a fan, really, it's just, my friend got me here!
Right now I'm listening to Scott Joplin piano, I just love this!
What I don't "get", is that "it" doesn't save what you write, but it does save the thread... and that you can write a message 2 ways, or they appear sometimes here, sometimes there, something about it seems odd to me (?), do you know what I mean? Does a blank comment box (from yourself), pop up every where you go? (seems to) But only stays if you write something? (Sorry, more out-of-the-loop ???!!! (smile) but, really, when you press "add comment", an entirely new box pops up... these things must be some santana secret everybody ELSE knows, right? (smile, please) Nike
Hey pierre - I'm in San Anselmo...and I look younger than I am.
I do know Carlos' music...actually used to have the nickname "black magic woman" for a while ;0
But actually, it is my sweetie, Brooks Cole, that built the AFAND site...so I've been part of this site since its infancy.
Howsit Pierre, hoping that you are keeping well. Its gonna be a nice cool one today, we've been getting hammered with the high humidity for the last three days. My son mentioned to me yesterday that the rules for keeping Sungazers in KZN have now changed and that I will now have to apply for a permit. The ruling started this year which I am happy about. Spoke to the relevant authorities and they will come home one of the days to inspect and hopefully grant me a permit. Hey, take care and have a great weekend. Imtiaz :]
Hi Pierre,
Hello my friend, I tho't I'd add a comment, to go with all the messages! (smile)
Obama champagne toasts, all-around!
Cheers & Best Wishes-- Nike
Yes Aptos is in Santa Cruz and it is about 8 hrs by car or an hour plus by plane from San Diego.
Yes sharing a coffee would be a bit of a stretch since there is a bit of water to cross to get here.
It was an exciting day with Obama. I love seeing millions of people experiencing such joy and hope. What was the gerenal feeling in South Africa?
in love and joy
Teresa
Dear Pierre,
Just an Obama p.s., it's well worth repeating, to all--- well over 2 million people in D.C. this week, and not ONE arrest/trouble, of course they had extra police, but .... peace! This is just an amazing time! Cheers! Nike
It is a pleasure to use this media to reach across the world to new friends!
I have always loved Santana, the person and the music. Thank you Carlos
and thank you Pierre.

Life is richly interesting right now in the US. My roots are Canadian but think of myself as a world citizen. I had a home with my family in Mexico and thankfully had many good times there... So Africa will be a possibility someday and will keep you in mind for times to come.
Blessings,
Sirah

My magic machine (little joke... of sorts!) has got me connected again!
How are you? Cheers, Nike
Dear Pierre,
I see her! Good surprise, in the middle of all that EXTREME beauty!!! (that IS Utah, swimming, isn't it? oh dear, or am i missing something ... else?!!!) (laugh) thanx again, the new pictures are just gorgeous!
best, Nike
hi pierre..this is going back to an earlier comment of yours that the Asian Koel female was more attractive than the male. true..but he has the sweeter voice. and i read somewhere that the Koel tricks the Crow into hatching it's eggs..have to check on this. sunil.
