The Beginning. . .

This is my first attempt at blogging so here goes!  Its a little scary but as my fingers fly across the keyboard the feeling of empowerment is close at hand.  But what to write?? My life in beautiful Kauai, my friends (both the ones who give me space and those that don't), my animals that nourish my soul, the amazing sounds of silence and nature or all of the above?  What about how the light plays across the entry way to my home?  Or the big blue Heron that feasts on the fish in my diminshing pond?  Or how the baby chicks all have a particular sound that alerts the mother hen (never understood that term before :)) to their well being or not?
The family of cats that preys on the rodents and then in offering, places them on my Welcome mat?  Or my aging dogs who still love to run and frolick but now at a much reduced speed? Or my 4-1/2 year old friend with the boundless enthusiasm of a preschooler and the wisdom of an ancient being??  So, so many subjects to explore.  I guess its just one little baby step at a time.   So, the name of this blog came about because when I am in the bath filled w/bubbles soaking or jacuzzing away the day, I often have the most interesting and lovely insights into my life and others.  In discussing this w/a very good friend, she suggested that I name this special time so that I might breath life into the thoughts that sometimes fly past me at alarming speeds.  And so it is.

  2. There is a powerful declaration here - the empowerment at hand, in hand. Write, write, write. For all the seen and unseen - I love life through your lens.
