Happy Birthday, Wolfie!

Happy 250th Birthday to the beloved, Mozart!

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (birthname - Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart) was born on January 27th, 1756, in Salzburg, Austria. He is among the most significant and enduringly popular composers of European classical music. His enormous output includes works that are widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Many of his works are part of the standard concert repertory and are widely recognized as masterpieces of the classical style. --Wikipedia

Have a little listen in honor of the master!

Enjoy!

What are you creating?

I'm still working on that Million Dollar Experiment, but I've been studying the subject of manifesting for several years now. Concepts within the field of Quantum Mechanics support what mystics have been preaching for years, that our thoughts and our intents directly effect the world around us. This suggests that, in effect, we are indeed creating our own world. So, what are you creating? Are your thoughts negative or positive? What do you say to yourself about yourself? What do you say to yourself about the world?

The movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know!?," explores these concepts with the help of physicists, artists and mystics. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

The work of Dr. Masaru Emoto is also fascinating on the subject of how the vibration of thought effects change in water and water crystals. And since the content of the human body is mostly water, I believe this is very important information to consider.

Lastly, here's a little Wisdom Flash for you on the subject of our Vibrational Universe. Turn on your sound for the yummy music that accompanies the flash.

Enjoy!

Who's the Mystery Painter?

I bet you'll never guess! Check it out at the HL Blog-O-Rama and let me know if you guessed it right.

Where are you?

And wouldn't you rather be here?

Yes, my friends, that's Palm Springs, California! Home of magnificent golfing, spas, shopping and breathtaking terrain.

While you're dreaming of the good life from your cold gray office, get the scoop on what's really happening in Palm Springs Life. In his daily blog, The Desert Quidnunc, my compadre, Alan Baird, will keep you wishing you were downtown shopping or hiking in the canyons. Stop by the blog and be sure to say, Hi. If you're really nice, maybe Alan will invite you to a round of golf in the sunshine.

How Willing Are You?

From Anne Lammot's, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life:

"To Participate requires self-discipline and trust and courage, because this business of becoming conscious, of being a writer, is ultimately about asking yourself...How alive am I willing to be?"

Trying my damndest to be ALIVE!

YADA, Too!

As if I don't already have enought to do!

UNCLE! UNCLE!
Yes, my arm has been twisted enough, so I have finally succumb to the vast cyberworld of MySpace.

Stop by for Fran's Fortune Cookie of the Day!

I suspect there will be some Fortune Cookies that will get stale before I have a chance to update, but it can't be helped. Chinese food always leaves you hungry an hour after you eat it anyway. I'm just keeping with that tradition - leaving you hungry for more.

See you at YADA, Too, and feel free to make me your Friend!

Peruse the selections to your heart's content because this meal is On the House!

Bon Appetit!

Shameless Self-Promotion!

Well, in truth, a personal blog by it's very nature is shameless self-promotion, but I can trump that.

Now imagine I'm using my best Sex in the City gossipy girl's voice:

"You must stop by The Horror Library - my gawd, it's amazing. And while you're there, do not miss my story, MASHED!

"And while you're at it, raise your glass (a Cosmo, of course) for a toast to the lovely Ms. Callisto of Callisto Blissed, for providing the perfect photographic art for, Mashed."

Shameless self-promotion complete! My work is done here.

Be sure to stop by again, soon. We'll do lunch...

Happy New Year!!

Come celebrate with me at The Horror Library Blog-O-Rama for a little New Year's Yada.

Wishing you all a fantastic New Year!

Peace to Us All, Fran
