Do You Know Me?

A  L  O  H  A !

" You'll never find 

peace of mind until 

you listen 

to your heart. "

                       George Michael

" To know 

what you prefer, 

instead of humbly 

saying "Amen" to 

what the world tells you 

you ought to prefer, 

is to keep your soul alive. "

                               Robert Louis Stevenson

" Let your heart guide you.  

It whispers, so 

listen carefully. "

                     Littlefoot's mother, 

                                   Land Before Time

What are the chains,

the roots, that bind us

to a place?

Where do the locals eat?

Do you have a

friend in the business?

Knowing where to go
and being known are 
a big part of belonging.

No one wants to be

the country mouse

in town for the first time.

Tell them I sent you,

mention my name.

It boils down, one way

or another to

"Mastery."

We feel safe

when we know how

to get things done!

I gave away all that,

gave away technicolor

sunsets. . . . .

For something. . . .

New.

Sometimes it feels

profoundly challenging.

I mean: who the heck

am I if I'm not
that Hawaii girl?

Today, I am going across

the magic portal

into the storied city:

San Francisco.

One thing I do know:

Walking in Chinatown

always grounds 

and heals me. Must

be all those lifetimes

lived in China.

I promise to snap

some photos!

Thank YOU!

Warmly, cloudia
