B is for…
Basics…those core values we cannot live without. A few years ago I found a lump in my breast. I saw my GP that afternoon and had a mammogram and specialist appointment (involving a needle biopsy) the following day. Boy, did I go back to basics in that 48 hour time span. I was completely focused on what REALLY mattered to me. My children, first and foremost and my relationships with loved ones. Gone were my ambitions at work, gone were my anxieties about what was fair or unfair and judgements about other people, gone were my attachments to material items. I was back to basics. Only this time I knew what my basics were. Love, health, connectedness, honesty, choice and self-awareness. Most of all my children. My relationship with my children. That night I put both my kids in bed with me and slept with them. Vulnerable and connected.

B is for beach where we Aquarians gain our energy and spiritual connection.
For me there is nothing more envigorating or energizing that sitting, walking or just being near the beach.
With the beautiful spring sky which is upon us I am hankering for that cool breeze and the sound of the crashing waves to rejuvinate my soul.
The B in beach also signifies the many blues that the beach can create and in those blues one can reflect the current mood of mother nature.
To connect with Desney the beach is bliss connecting and electrifying our spiritual soul.
B is for bicycle, it is just a buzz to bike somewhere and back. transport and fitness, time to think, focus on the breath and enjoy the experience of moving through the environment.
BARACK OBAMA!!!

B is for Babies, Birthing, Beginnings … all of which represent hope and the vibrant promise of life.
Bees, which pollinate so much of our food, helping to support continuity of human life on Earth, encouraging us to find ways of containing our voracious consumption of her precious resources.
Bees also remind me of my dear friend, Judy, who died some years back. Her surname began with the letter B.
Beauty surrounds us, when we are able to slow down and see and appreciate the simple things in life. The exquisite beauty of early morning’s first rays of golden sunlight kissing dewdrops on the lawn; the beauty of my daughter’s flushed smooth skin as she sleeps; the beauty of loving thoughts and words and deeds, no matter how simple they might be.
Bliss, in the first sip of tea from the morning’s first cup, and bliss in slipping between clean sheets at the end of a long hard day.
