Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a blogger.
I love it. I am so amused and secretly voyeuristic about what others want to share with their friends, family and basically (potentially) the World on a narcissitic website. I have decided to make the big jump and create a blog about my own crazy life - hopefully for the enjoyment of others despite the advice of my "perfect for me husband" who says 'blog, 'blog, 'blog.
My life is crazy and I'm hoping that this blog will help me lighten up and appreciate the humor and ecstasy of life. As my friend Lana says, "one must live life intentionally". I think I'm doing a pretty good job of it as I can't imagine fitting anything else into my life (oh, except Grandkids!)
My biggest lesson thus far in 2007 is that I have learned the true definition of "fun", what "fun" isn't, and why one must always have "fun".
Fun is fishing and catching a big Lincod!
Fun is having your husband sing to you first thing in the morning!
Fun is playing Texas Hold'em with your kids and their significant others!
Fun is reading a book by a quiet river in Big Sur!
Fun brings a smile to your face and a lightness into your soul.
Health is fun.
Love is Fun.
Life is meant for fun.
Blogs. Never say never...

No Fear
Ojai is known for its Pink Moment when at Sunset the sky turns mauve and pink over the Topa Topa mountains. Even better than Sunset is watching the moon rise over the Valley, a truly breathtaking view. A full moon over the Valley is magic and is asbolutely my favorite view. One of these days I'm going to have a "Howl at the Moon Party". Its on my short list - golf is on the long list.
As a child growing up on a large avocado ranch, I remember space, free time and privacy around me. Being able to get lost in the trees, finding a path overgrown by vines and creating a secret place where my sisters and I could play with our avocado leaf money and our water color make-up for an entire day and no one was worried. No people, lots of imagination, a trust in ourselves and a pace and innocence that most of us have forgotten.
Fear is so alive in today's World. Our greatest challenge is to live a life without fear. To openly love. To openly accept love. To embrace life with intent and without reservation.
No fear.
Nike had it right.
Howl at the Moon

Dream House
Not a Nightmare - I swear!
Dreams vs. Nightmares
I'm not saying I'm actually remorseful - that would sound spoiled. But I really am wondering what possessed Mike and I to give up an apartment in Carpinteria on the beach and a house in Ojai with a pool for a 2 acre piece of dirt with "Life Long Project" written all over it. Its easy - the answer is Dreams. You have to have them. What would we have done if we could only fish and kayak on the weekends instead of backhoe, plaster and paint? This will be OUR home with new memories and stories. Fishing can be for weekends. It isn't a nightmare...do I sound convincing?

I knew you could do it...this feels kind of like the time you called and said, "Guess what?!!, I went kayaking and I love it!" Go figure. I tried to get you to go for years, but Mike invites you and you jump in the boat...true love conquers ALL!! So, the next growth phase will be Mike's blog comments...uh...don't flash any boobs! Live and Love <3
Mom, you are officially cool. I love your page and all the pictures! It will be nice to get the Ojai "update" and be able to see progress on the new house too. Beav says thanks for all your kind words and we're looking forward to seeing you this weekend. Love and miss ya, Katy.
Hey Kathy, it's me Lisa...you know, Lana's daughter (in-law). I hope it's okay that I am here, reading your blog...What a beautiful spirit you have, I love reading what you have to say. Thank you for sharing!
