This Blog will be about my thoughts, opinions and perceptions of the world in which we live. About the world that I wish to live in. And about all that intrigues and fascinates me.

I hope that a few of you out there can relate...... for I often feel alone in the outside world. A world, that in my opinion, is overly concerned about status, possessions and doing whatever is necessary to get ahead. To me, it appears, rude, pushy, selfish and uncaring. It is a world I try not to live in whenever I do not have to.

If you have a sensitive spirit, believe in random acts of kindness, and strive to beautify and positively enhance the world in whatever way that you can, then you are welcome to MY world.

Come in, relax, visit with the kitties, have a nice cup of Earl Grey, eat some Havarti with dijon, listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, look at the beautiful architecture and gardens
(those are some of my most favorite things!), and feel free to leave your comments...... just remember to *please* mind your P's and Q's, for "rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength", (a quote by Eric Hoffer). :-)




If you aren’t going to say something directly to someone’s face, than don’t use online as an opportunity to say it. It is this sense of bravery that people get when they are anonymous that gives the blogosphere a bad reputation.

DEALING WITH OSTRACIZATION & ALIENATION

I am still pissed off at witnessing rude and cruel behavior to beautiful people by social turds. >:-[ I hope that these postings will help the beautiful to overcome the turds in the end.


The following was taken from About.com


DEALING WITH OSTRACIZATION & ALIENATION

Some people never have to deal with this one while others are subjected to it for what feels like their entire life. It is hard enough making friends, but what do you do when others actively seek to exclude you? How do you deal when people go out of their way to keep you marginalized? What do you do when "persona non grata" becomes your name? How do you cope when those who you once called friends are the ones who have marked you for exile?

Your first step has to be detachment. You have to really stop caring that others want to exclude you. This is incredibly difficult but essential. It is essential for two reasons; if you care too much the damage to your self esteem can be debilitating and counter productive, and while you still react or come across as hurt the nasty people who want to hurt you will keep up the effort. By detaching and giving off an attitude of, "No matter what you say, I am worthwhile and I am comfortable being me!" you will have won half the battle and saved your sense of self.

Well stated, nice site too, young, beautiful, and compassionate creature. :) All reality is observer created, what it means to you could mean something totally different to the person interpretating it.

So very true.... it is all a matter of interpretaion. I (as can anyone), can only view the world through my own (sensitive) eyes and mind-set. :-) To me, the mass of the world lacks in compassion, but alas, I digress....
