Heartwings Love Notes 1026 - Making the Spiritual Practical

Heartwings Says, "Spirituality can come down to earth and still keep its wings."

When I was a small child, I had a book I loved called Saints and Friendly Beasts. It was a collection of stories about holy men and women who interacted with animals in unusual ways, living with them or having them be part of their lives. I found the stories to be entrancing. The idea of being a saint was very appealing to me. I heard other stories about people called saints who practiced their faith in open and endearing ways, and their lives seemed to me to be special and attractive.

I even made my own little church in a corner of my family's property and collected moss to make a nice place to kneel. I had a brick for an alter and a cross of twigs sat on it. Nearby was a plot of land where I buried animals that had died, praying over them. We lived in a relatively rural area, so there were dead creatures to be found on the property, and baby chicks, too that didn't survive, as well as occasional pets that had perished whether by accident or old age.

I also had a wonderful book with steel graving illustrations that was filled with Bible parables and stories. These stayed with me and enlivened my imagination. Eventually, of course I got older and became busy with life, and while I didn't forget about such things entirely, they did recede to the back of my mind. Life kept me busy with children to raise and a community to serve, until along came the "New Age" when spirituality became popular and people began publicizing various spiritual though not necessarily religious practices.

My experience is that many people act with spiritual practicality and never realize it. When most people hear the word "spiritual" they think of the word as pertaining to religion. They do not usually think of ordinary everyday life as spiritual, unless the person living it is somehow dedicated to a religious practice or living in a religious manner like a monk or a nun. Yet the rules for living an everyday good life are perfectly spiritual. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," has roots in just about every language and culture.

While this saying is found in the Bible, it's not part of the ten commandments. It is commonly referred to as the golden rule. Look up those words on Google, and you'll be as fascinated as was I to read the variety of versions of that principle. It is not a religious practice because it is not necessary to believe in God to practice it. Moreover, it is an intensely practical way to behave. Treating others as nicely or in as kindly a manner as one treats oneself is a very useful way to live because most times it works in your favor. Generally, people will act toward you in the same way, and furthermore, you are setting a good example for others.

May you live your life as a good example for others to learn from.
 

Blessings and Best Regards,
Tasha Halpert

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "It's waiting for things that tests my patience. buses, trains, letters, people, money etc. oh and being put on hold on the phone by the council.....it's not like I'm going to pay them anyway ha ha.
the train system would test the patience of a saint."  - love - Paul.   Sept 2nd 2018 5:08PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "I enjoyed your essay on patience. This is a daily spiritual practice for me. I use centering prayer/meditation and mindfulness. I remember when I was in my 30s and working in geriatric psych unit. I asked my patients what advice they would give me for growing old. They said "learn to slow down." Love, -M.P.-   Sept 2nd 2018 4:18PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "Tasha, I really enjoyed this one my friend. Patience is one of my weakest qualities that needs the most work. God too seems to keep sending me situations that I have to exercise my patience on. Thanks for the great tips too. I think love and compassion are both keys to patience as well." God bless you always. Wishing you every joy, -J.M.-   Sept 2nd 2018 1:52PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "Tasha Dear, It is always a challenge to have patience and your assessment of getting along with aging is certainly a strong point. I love my aging process - it is more challenging than being very active in business when I was younger. I would love to finish my book but patience is necessary as the memories are squashed into a solid bar of information and I must separate the individual elements of the information in order to communicate well with an unknown audience. Once I can filter the past and empty the trash I will be able to enjoy the here and now better. What do you think?" -H.T.-   Sept 2nd 2018 1:46PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "Thank you. I smile at Aging for Dummies. I’m a fellow traveler with you down this elder path. Slowliness is holiness! -B.J.-   Sept 2nd 2018 1:44PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "A couple of observations from the Cayce Readings. First the joke about the minister, well, that is exactly how the Readings say it happens. I always caution people against praying for strength, patience, faith and the like. In fact, when they are seemingly assaulted by life with such situations, I will ask if they have been praying for patience. The answer is invariably, yes. I think the indigenous have it right. All their prayers are of gratitude and never asking for anything! The second is the Reading that says, 'with patience, ye possess your soul' Sorry, I do not know the number. Thanks for this… While I do not feel old, I do know there are those who would call me old. I also find myself holding the door for “older” people, only to realize later that they are my age! What a hoot! One thing I do know about aging is that we do not age inside. I do not think we ever change inside except in the case of emotional trauma that results in illness." -S.G.-  Sept 2nd 2018 1:31PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 843 - Patience Training: "Learning patience for me was living life itself and what it through at me
As always we eventually stop falling standing firmly on our own two feet! What’s the secret to entering and staying in the light, never giving up, patience. That’s my story!! What a beautiful and true read!" Thank you -L.T.-  Sept 2nd 2018 1:20PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 842 - The Mixed Blessing of Aging: "Of course, having spent much of this last year planning my reunion... I loved to read about yours.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 842 - The Mixed Blessing of Aging: "Aging, for me, is about perspective. I look back at my youth with much affection and few regrets. One of the greatest influences in my life was "Be Here Now" by a professor who called himself Baba Ram Das. His message was to live life fully in the present time with appreciation. At 62, I very much appreciate my present life. The energy continues, the awareness is sharper, my spiritually grows deeper, my writing skills and musical abilities profit from years of thought and practice and, best of all, I'm still playing a damn good game of golf." -R.D.-  Aug 26th 2018 3:12PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 842 - The Mixed Blessing of Aging: "When it comes to aging I find myself having been 33 for many, many years. I was recently called to show up for a Jury pool. I looked around as I arrived and realized I was the oldest woman in the building. I also was one of very few people who do not use assistance to walk or hear. As I age I am gathering more and more delicious, delightful memories to treasure. I don't feel pressured to hurry these days because I don't have to answer to a boss for a paycheck and I get to design my days the way I like. Old age comes to all who hang around long enough to welcome it. We are blessed beyond measure. Thank you for a provocative topic!" I LOVE YOU. Hugs -C.B.-   Aug 26th 2018 2:44PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 842 - The Mixed Blessing of Aging: "Thanks Tasha, Some of my father's wisdom, as he grew old was: 'I do not count how far I walk, but the time I spend when walking'." Love, hugs and kisses, -E.S.-   Aug 26th 2018 2:24PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 841 - The Delicious, Mystical Peach: "I loved it and sent it to my friends. My hair dresser is Chinese and has a decorative peach tree in her salon. Now I understand." -M.P.-   Aug 20th 2018 7:14PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 841 - The Delicious, Mystical Peach: "Hi Tasha - My mum, a Mountain Woman from the hills of Virginia (as you may recall from my past replies) taught me, as her mother taught her, to can all manner of foods. Peaches were high on the list of wonderful winter treats, as you also remember. My favorite part of helping mum can peaches was her getting so exhausted after a full day of canning that she started calling the peaches (pardon the coarse language) "little yellow bastards". We had such a laugh over that and I will never forget the beautiful times with her harvesting and buying produce at the weekly farmer's market where I was raised in upstate New York, and then canning and freezing all that our family needed for the winter. How I miss the tastes that came from our cellar shelves!" -T.K.-   Aug 20th 2018 4:11PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 841 - The Delicious, Mystical Peach: "Dear Tasha, I read this piece about peaches to Blue and he wanted to share his story about throwing a peach seed into the back yard when he was seven. It grew into the most beautiful tree with tons of peaches and it wasn't planted! My story about peaches is that, growing up in the South, peaches were always a part of home made ice cream we cranked. When we went to visit my grandmother in Birmingham we would go to the huge farmer's market and buy lots of peaches which I would help them put up to freeze. Thanks for sharing your insights and life with us!" Love, -E.B.-   Aug 20th 2018 2:20PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 841 - The Delicious, Mystical Peach: "Peaches! Yes, I love to buy boxes of 'seconds' from the Farmer's Market. I eat them on the spot, at home with yogurt, and I peel and cut them into pie sized servings to freeze. No sugar. They are already so sweet they run down my chin. I will definitely notice how they transport me to land of Fae next time! Loved your stories of peach power! Also love Paul Beryl's books. I'm so glad he is a favorite of yours as well. -S.F.-   Aug 20th 2018 12:06PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "As we are in the moving process, I can definitely relate! I have been sorting, going through, choosing what to continue to carry and what to let go of!! Big time! I have let go of some things that I thought I would never let go of and it’s felt good. Also I am enjoying appreciating the things I am choosing to carry forward. It’s a deep process." -K.C.-   Aug 13th 2018 6:10PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "Saving boxes was my fathers thing. You never know when you may have to return something or need a box! When we cleaned out the attic after his death my mom had reused many boxes for storing items in like Christmas décor, but many small boxes had nothing in them, they were just there. It must be genetic, I find myself doing the same thing!" -D.M.-   Aug 13th 2018 5:01PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "I love reading your letter about your Mother saving many things I do the same thing - I was born in France in 1935 and during the second world war we had very little and almost nothing to eat and I cannot stop buying food sometimes I do not eat. I do like you keep pretty boxes and nice wrapping paper also. My children live in America and quick they discard or donate to Goodwill they cannot understand me and my savings." -F.F.-   Aug 12th 2018 4:43PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "Tasha, I grew up with savers and recyclers too my friend. I do try to give away anything useful that I don’t use myself. My house is too small to be a hoarder. Wishing you every joy. Keep up the great work." - J.M.-   Aug 12th 2018 2:02PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "Hi Tasha - I am not a "things" person, but I do have a few bits and pieces of my grandmother's and my mum's. They were Mountain People from the hills of Virginia - just 10 miles north and east of the North Carolina border. I have the cast iron skillet that my granny handed down to my mum, which was then passed to me. I use it all the time and love remembering the many times it has fed me from childhood to now. I also cherish my granny's water ladle, from which each of us dipped into her bucket in the kitchen for cool drinks fresh from the well to quench our thirst. And her gravy bowl that she used to hold milk gravy - or what Northerners might have called white sauce - to ladle over her fresh pone bread and biscuits for breakfast. Sometimes, when she could afford it, she crumbled breakfast sausage meat into it. Ahh, I can still taste it! Other little gifts from friends are my treasures. It takes so little to make one happy when there are so many memories in such dear possessions!" -T.N.-   Aug 12th 2018 2:06PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "I truly enjoyed this HeartWing Love Note. My dad passed away last year and when we were cleaning up his things, we found out that he was a collector of so many things - perhaps not hoarding yet when one has 27 watches and 32 coin purses you wonder what that is all about. My dad was born in Egypt and grew up during many wars and was transplanted from one country to another where they could take nothing when they moved. When I bought my house, I too had a stash drawer or two of things. Over the years, I find that things have energy that can either bind you or release you. My rule is something comes in something has to leave and if I am not using it, I would rather share it. I do so enjoy your love notes and so appreciate you sharing them. If you recall, we met at the Peace Within Retreat at Brahma Kumaris in the Catskills Mountains." -G.L.-   Aug 12th 2018 2:02PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "What an amazing collection, Tasha, your mother’s wedding treasures... these would be very hard to release I have a feeling. but I would feel I needed to use the sheets!!.

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "Tasha, I certainly can identify with this. I have collections of rocks, shells, souvenirs from every country we have lived in, including Guatemalan hand-woven blouses covering a whole wall. I save wrapping paper and string. My daughter and I went through my linen closet and donated a big collection of doilies and other linens we don't use." -D.F.-   Aug 12th 2018 1:09PM

Re: "Heartwings Love Notes 840 - Being of a Saving Nature: "Dearest Tasha, I can see myself, saving in case something goes wrong, fails or breakes and in case my children or somebody else will need it. My parents lived the war as well, and had to work hard for everything they needed. I find myself storing lots of woolen blankets and bedclothes. I find that interesting, and I believe it has to do with needing to be warm and been able to provide others with the same. -E.W.-   Aug 12th 2018 1:08PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 839 - Don't shoot the Messenger or Ignore the Message: "Hi Tasha, Glad to hear from you. I agree will all you said . Particularly on a part of being constantly , constantly overeating and taking pills for everything. We do not have just one pill that would help us to think out of TV and other boxes. My spouse is 96 eating all his life so small amount of food that people always were amazed how he survive eating so little ...and he always was amazed how those people were survived by eating so much food. Being 96 he is shaped physically and mentally, going to gym every day, living independently with a little help from different sides. He always believed in slow type of eating and drinking 30 min before eating. But the most important for him always was a creativity in life. Now when he can not draw and paint he writes a poems .... In Russian. Just wanted to share with you my little experience of life with a unique character who is my best friend for 40 years. Have you heard that in Japan it is a habitual to drink 640 gram of water in the morning ,before eating and brush teeth . After this drink people do not eat 45 min. Such beginning of the day cleans out body ,out of toxic things and brings system to a normal chemistry. It takes care of blood pressure and a lot of minor disorder .... And major as well. Search about it and use it . Japan's aged people are the most healthy elders in a World .   Aug 5th 2018 4:15PM

By the Way I and my spouse never takes pills unless it is urgent emergency and more .... Doctors want us to take pills .... They want us to be ill .... It is sooooo obvious .... Being dependent on doctors it works for their wealth .... it is soooo simple . I enjoy your Summer and Fall and Winter and the rest. -Y.K.-   Aug 5th 2018 1:13PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 839 - Don't shoot the Messenger or Ignore the Message: "And on that note i shall comment. Yes indeed eating 2 meals a day is sufficient.

Plus all the heavy foods for digesting like meats and cheeses are on its way out.)" Tell Stephen hello! -E.T.-   Aug 5th 2018 1:02PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 836 - The Three Bite Strategy: How Much Is Enough?: "Hi I admit that I don't always have time to read the entire essay, but this time I am glad that I did. It made me smile and filled me with memories of both the mother who forced me to eat all sorts of organ meats, not just liver, such as heart, tripe, brains,...As well as the child who until adolescence wouldn't even try chicken! I chose not to engage in the food battle with my son. It was his friends who came to my home and loved my cooking that had more influence on his willingness to try all sorts of foods. Now he eats everything and loves hot sauces as well. T.L.

I liked this one my friend. It does take a lot of discipline, though, to stop after that 3 bite. I know this from experience." Wishing you every joy, -J.M.-

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 833 - The Importance of Cherishing Myself: "Two things come to my mind.

Unit, there was a movie that was played and for the life of me I can not remember the name of it, but it had to do with God and positive thinking. Moral of this movie, actually I would not consider it to be a movie...see there I go again, judging! Positive begets positive. Ah, heck! why not try this! Example: I meet a woman who has purple hair (!!!!) but I really like here necklace, and I comment on it. she smiles and says thank you. A man passes me by and says hello and I compliment his tie and he too lights up. But I say nothing about his ugly shirt.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 819 - The Preciousness of Remembering: "Hi Tasha, It's interesting that I read this Heartwings today. My old leather couch developed a tiny tear in one of the seat cushions, and yesterday I'd been thinking that one of these days I should get a new couch. Or 'davenport'as my grandparents would say! At that time I looked around the living room and realized that, beyond a watercolor and a new set of curtains, I haven't really changed my decor in almost twenty years! I grew up as you did, in a home where we used stuff until it wore out, and well made furniture that's cared for lasts for generations! I don't get tired of things that have meaning -- Grandma's sewing cabinet, my grandfather's writing desk, the rocking chair I loved to sit in when I visited Grandma and Grandpa, the wooden high chair my father sat in as a baby, the oil painting that belonged to my great-grandparents. My bedroom set was purchased at an antique warehouse in the 70s and has traveled around the East coast and across country and back with me. These things have become a part of who I am, and I dread the inevitable day I am forced to downsize. Today I stopped in to Home Goods looking for dog shampoo, and found myself tempted by so much of their shiny new merchandise -- mass produced lamps, furniture, decorative items, linens, and so on. It's all marketed so beautifully, designed to make you want to take it home. I satisfied myself with a couple of new washcloths and the dog shampoo and remembered that nothing there would make me happier than what I already had. As todays world changes at an accelerating pace, surrounding yourself with the people and things you love is more important than ever." Thanks for your writings, -W.R.-   March 23 2018 3:45PM

Marilyn is a Salmon fan. I love Swordfish. Marilyn isn't a Haddock fan. Thinks it's too blah.  Tasha, I don't like "fishy" fish.  Probably doesn't make sense. But there you are.  When Marilyn "dresses up" Salmon with spices, it's nice. Otherwise, I just eat it.  Swordfish doesn't taste 'fishy" to me. Neither does Haddock. We eat scallops when they're not expensive.  We also eat Shrimp. Chicken is a frequent meal. I like it but I think Marilyn is chickened out. I am no longer a fan of red meat. That's been a dramatic change as I've grown older.  Red meat (Steak) doesn't sit well in my stomach. We're approaching hot dawgs season. Yay! I love hot dawgs. And, I don't need to know what's in them. I do have a recipe that I love. The original is with Mahi Mahi, but I use tilapia and I add zucchini to the casserole in the bottom under the fish.

2 lbs Mahi Mahi or other fish.
1 lemon juiced.
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup diced onion
Bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 425. Place in 9x13 baking dish. Mix mayo, onions, lemon, and spices and spread over fish (and veggies). Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake for 25 minutes. You can always cut back on mayo if you want less fat. In fact you can just brush it on and add crumbs if you wish." -M.A.-   February 26 2018 2:08PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 809 - Prioritizing What Comes First: "Tasha, Your new year resolution story reminded me of my own memory my friend. I have to write everything down now to keep track of it. My mind is too old and tired to keep too much in it at once anymore. Thankfully my notes and calendar keep me on track most of the time." Wishing you every joy, -J.M.- January 10 2018 11:17AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 809 - Prioritizing What Comes First: "I forget everything. Sometimes I forget things while I'm in the middle of doing them, so if i don't do stuff when I think of it, it really won't get done. And the longer I'm retired, the harder it is to remember things by date and time since I don't even know what day it is a lot of the time." -M.A.- January 8 2018 1:12PM

Re Heartwings Love Notes 804 - Riding the Time Machine: "Nice memories. Thank you for sharing. I remember buying my Christmas presents at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar. One year I bought a lot of glass things and embellished them with my enamel paints. Grandma kept hers (it may have been a pitcher) and used it. Purchasing, wrapping, and hiding those gifts in my closet are among my all-time favorite Christmas memories. -D.W.-  December 7 201 7:12PM

My daughter took our beagle out to play, and he got free from his leash, and he introduced himself to the neighbor upstairs by going into her living room by nosing open her screen door and taking her sandwich from the coffee table, and slipping back out the door.

Re: Heartwings Love notes 791 - Adventures and Misadventures: "Very funny and cute...plus so well written story." -A.M.- September 4 2017 07:02PM

Re: Heartwings Love notes 791 - Adventures and Misadventures: "Yup. We almost never use a GPS anymore. We have had it send us to the wrong road in the same city ... or a different city ... or a road that ends at a river without a bridge. At a washed out bridge. On a dirt road in the middle of a vineyard. In a really BIG cemetery which was supposed to be a motel. I think we get more stupid by depending on cell phones and GPS's. Garry and I have made it our business to learn how to get around without one. To know where the roads go and have a map if we don't already know. Because sometimes -- more often than you imagine -- the GPS is wrong -- and every now and again, they stop working completely. It's a lot funnier when you aren't several hundred miles from home without a map." -F.D.- September 4 2017 05:02PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 790 - A Shift in Perspective Helps Us see Better: "Tasha and Stephen, So good that you have the correct perspective. My challenges are to help other folks who are having a hard time helping themselves. Exercise is such an important part of a daily routine - my sister is having difficulty walking with no diagnosis of why, except clinical depression. Why we all stay active is a goal to succeed in something. I met a 97 year old summer colonist yesterday at the Library Garden Party. I always felt that she would not talk to me because I was not in her class. Have I come into that class? Or is she in need of encouragement since her health is not perfect. She has been a great supporter of historic preservation in Newport and I plan to accept her invitation to tea in her beautiful mansion not far from where I lived at Belcourt Castle. Thank you for your perspectives on the ways we cope with new situations. Turning a negative situation into a bright moment is a great opportunity." -H.T.-

She was 91 when she finally put down the violin and said no more. I knew then that her spirit was ready for the change.
I have not been able to play the organ, because it was in the castle I sold. I could take lessons from the organist at St. John's where the organ is similar to the one I was used to. A column on "Musicians live forever" will be the sequel to this story." -H.T.- August 14 2017 11:15PM

They get to know their names and they'll let other customers know that they'll wait for these particular employees because of their friendly attitude. When someone from the South goes north they comment on how unfriendly folks seem to be. Perhaps it's because those in the North are afraid to smile." Love and hugs, -B.K.- August 1 2017 11:46AM

Being a nurse I can totally relate, and being a nurse and caregiver it is so easy to put ourselves last. However, I am a big proponent of self care also; my garden is my balancing place. Like you I rest or take a break and play with my dog when the digging is becoming a bit much. Working alone allows us to work at our own pace. I think for me, where I notice the change in activity the most is when we go up into the mountains. We used to hike and hike for hours; now it is much more of a stroll, which is fine with me. I notice the flowers and gather them for my potions which happens more slowly than plowing up a mountain trail. Always enjoy your Heartwings and staying in touch.....here comes Summer!"

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 772 Easter Eggs are more than just Food: "Dear Tasha, I love your Easter memories piece. Dialing the clock back to childhood Easters, it always seemed to be sunny and mild. We wore our "good" spring outfits to church. Matching short pants and jacket with an Eaton cap. Flowers everywhere and people seemed happier than usual. We frequently went to the big Easter Parade in Manhattan. It was a glorious event of 40's fashions. Not quite Judy and Fred but still glamorous. Fast forward to the early 70's. I was a newly minted "TV news celeb" and Grand Marshall of Boston's Easter Parade. The parade started on Commonwealth Avenue near the Fenway and wound up on Boston Common, such fun. Nowadays, it's just those memories of yesterday Easters. -G.A.- April 11 2017 1:45PM

Remembering the smells of the melting snow, looking for little bare patches on the asphalt or the grass, looking forward to wear knee stockings and a skirt, skipping with the girls and bicycling with the boys. Happy times. Now I enjoy the sun coming into my kitchen window when cooking dinner, going out early morning to listen to the birds. The evenings are magic too.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 762 - A Valentine to Lost Loves: " When my mother made her transition I was convinced that I would never survive my own life without her. Then it occurred to me that I could HONOR her memory. So I invited some neighbor kids to a tea party because my mother LOVED our tea parties. She also LOVED playing Bingo at her nursing home so I gave the nursing home where she stayed a roll of quarters in her memory. I once bought someone a pair of shoes because that's what my mother would have done. I have photos of my mother here and there about the house and it gives me great pleasure to see her image and remember special times in our lives. I will never 'get over losing Mom but I think of her lovingly now, not with sadness. I think grief was a wonderful teacher." I love connecting with you, my dear Tasha. -C.B.- February 6 2017 10:02AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 758 - Two Recipes for Comfort Food: "The old Fanny Farmer cookbooks -- I have 3 of them, the earliest from 1934 (I think) and the most recent from 1950ish -- are great. Simple recipes that work every time. I don't use a microwave to cook things. I do use it to boil a cup of water to make tea or reheat something quickly. Most used setting? The "30 second" automatic setting. But to be honest, it's not a matter of principle, but rather of taste. Microwaved food tastes either boiled and bland... or is the consistency of an old rubber tire. It's not really a cooking tool. It has it's uses, but I can't remember the last time I actually cooked anything in it. Oh, right -- certain packages of frozen vegetables are designed to cook in a microwave. Otherwise, we have a little convection oven that is a much better tool for making food :-) -M.A.- January 9 2017 4:06PM

I took it out to show them...that it wasn't sharp...and it was for our son's wedding. It took two supervisors to look at it before it was determined safe" -A.N.- September 28 2016 2:11PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 735 - Time is a Strange Accordion: "Hello once again, Tasha. Virginia Wolfe firmly believed that no two days are ever alike. It's in the tiniest details: look at the sky, listen to music that is new to you or that you've never heard before, re-read a book you read in your youth and realize what you see in it now, from the perspective of age and experience.

Maybe I could make more thoughtful decisions on the activities I am spending my time on? Maybe I need to pay more attention on the quality of feelings when I am within these activities? Do I have my time to reread books I loved 40 years ago? When was my last time being alone, barefooted under the rain?

There is such bitter badness in this world; for sure this is true. Knowing that we can remain good, and loving and kind in the face of it, means everything. Just because I can't turn the world on its head all on my own doesn't mean I can't make a difference. We have to do our best and let go of the rest.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 729 - Lighting Candles: "Hi Tasha, You and I are products of the 60s where and love, kindness, hope etc. were real possibilities inside of us and with our actions. We lived in a nation where there was a sense of empowerment for change, for making a difference. It was marginally global. Geography was not part of our vocabulary. Now our 60s make love not war ends up hurting us. A "refusal to cooperate by 12 sex slaves" with ideals ends up in their death in vats of acid. Showing compassion is taken as weakness. Respect for human life individualism and freedom of choice is looked at as unpatriotic. You and I will live our lives within our spectrum. However, world cultures are not necessarily part of this paradigm ad we as a nation are succumbing to the tides of chaos. Time for another planet for us. Somebody on TV this morning pointed out that there have been so many of these shootings that we stand in real danger of accepting this as "normal."

I went with an open heart & intentions of letting go of past regrets and having a precious experience in the present moment with my sisters and mother. The thorns were thicker & much sharper than I thought possible and I came home angry with myself for putting myself in the situation to be hurt. Also for being so overly optimistic that things could be different. Coming back to my home and R. was wonderful & knowing my life is filled with love & creativity that nurtures me and the people around me, this acknowledgement took a lot of my past regrets away. These thorny interactions are the experiences that helped me to attract my life as it is now and I am most grateful for what has flowered from it." All my love to you and Stephen. -C.R.- May 16 2016 1:32PM

Like you, I think I did pretty well by writing things down as he did them. He was very helpful, and showed me each ingredient and said the name in Japanese. This was helpful even though I don't speak Japanese, and the words were not similar. But it gave me time to look and smell and guess, and I got it right. I wrote the recipe down and later produced the dish successfully myself. I look forward to making these cookies some time. Would you say that they are more of a butter cookie or a sugar cookie?"

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 707 - Time and time Again: "Time has a way of doing exactly what you say – goes fast or slow. I think about ‘time’ a lot. Time well spent, time wasted, imaginary time(s), happy/sad times, The Now time, time gone-by, and time(s) to come. I sometimes wish that there was no such thing as ‘time’. However, we humans are always putting labels and meaning to things which distracts us from spending time wisely. Time can be a stealer of our mind and often puts us somewhere/sometime we should not be. Then, we jump back to another time or the now to keep our mind off of it. However, I would not want to NOT remember the past or hope for the future because time is just that – the past, the present, and the future. It is the stuff that hope is made of." -J.R- Jan 18th 2016 08:42PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 698 - Living With Dying: "HI Tasha, This letter of yours is especially important to me as two of my friends have been told to expect to die within a certain amount of time. Richard was told "within three years" and Miriam was told "within five years." Frankly, I am flummoxed about the value of being told/not told.... but, I guess that it's better to be aware and to prepare oneself." Best to you! -M.P.- Nov 17 2015 9:46PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 698 - Living With Dying: "Thanks for sharing. I couldn't agree more with these words :). I know this may sound weird but I'm glad I got to experience being around death at such a young age (my brother) and then actually watching Grandpa Charlie pass 10 years later when I was only 14. Not to mention holding my cat while she died of old age in my arms. Anyways I guess what I'm trying to say is I know these experiences have a lot to do with why I live my life how I do. To enjoy each moment and cherish the life I have because one day it will be no longer." Much love, -R.W.- Nov 17 2015 8:02PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 698 - Living With Dying: "A funny, but true story. My sister, who has been living with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for over 10 years now and been at the brink of death more times than we can remember, was asked by her minister if she had 15 minutes left what would she do. She told him that she lives so that there is no unfinished business at the end of each day, so there would be no frantic calls and that kind of thing. She also does the things she enjoys doing within the limits all these years of regular chemo allow, so there is really nothing she would want to do. What she would do is eat an entire chocolate cake, which she cannot now do because it makes her sick. She would enjoy every mouthful knowing she would not have to face all the discomfort eating it would have brought. That is pretty much how my family rolls!" -S.J.- Nov 17 2015 5:23PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 686 - Tidiness: "Dear Tasha, Your insightful Heartwings are always a pleasure to read. This one is specially important as I have been having contractors redo my windows so my rooms have had to be reorganized. This is a blessing
so that now I can feel happy about throwing away duplicates and useless items while being able to find the important things which
are usually buried in a heap of unopened mail. My mother was the epitome of an organized housekeeper. I unfortunately have the Tinney Family years of taking on so many projects simultaneously that things of different types pile up in unsightly and dangerous heaps. My filing cabinets are so stuffed that a single sheet often won't go into its proper place! Yet do I need to run down a treacherous cellar stair to retrieve the historical archives I am often called upon to produce? Writing lists is a good habit - sometimes I do it, but then forget to put the list where I can remember to take it with me! So, I enjoyed your recent Heartwings and do hope we can get together again. What project must I say "No" to? That would be a good subject for you to address, if you haven't already. When do we just say 'no.'?" Love, -H.T.- Aug 24 2015 10:04AM

Here, here!!! This is a great piece. And interestingly enough, I just took out my iron and ironing board last week as I got a summer
dress on sale and it needed pressing. I press once a summer as I still enjoy the feel of well pressed clothes. I shop at Good will
and find a lot of linen shorts and blouses for very little cost and they are very cool in the summer, but linen needs pressed as well as
cotton. So I loved this... I don't really have time to iron, but I take a little time in the evenings for about a week and do it all for the
summer. I actually enjoy ironing and find it very relaxing. Wrinkles on the skin, so what, I agree with you, let them be as our badges of experience." Great to read this! -J.P.- July 13 2015 09:16 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 632 - What Does It Mean To Be How Old: "Hello Tasha, About age: I used to attend a meditation group which was held in a room of a house that belonged to a 70 something woman. We met every Sunday night. At one time she said she never thinks of herself as the physical age her body was, but something else. Personally I never think of how old my body is. I sometimes have been asked, and told them they have to do the math, as I don't think about how old I am. But I will tell them my birthdate. My mother used to say how old she was this way: 'I am as old as my little finger and a little older than my teeth' When I was growing up, my grandmother used to live with us, or sometimes in a cottage very near us. She used to watch us while my parents worked. My perception was that my grandmother was always old, but my mother never was old until she got Alzheimer's. I think some people are old because of their attitude, or the way they behave. I think that some people never get old no matter how long they live." Peace & Light, -L.P.- Aug 4th, 2014 2:03pm

Re: Heartwings Love Notes for a joyous life 631 - Perspective Makes the Difference: "Home is where the heart is. I think having a large home is great if one has a family... after that it's wasted space and too much upkeep. Upkeep is only fun if the body permits it otherwise it is a drain on finances to have someone else do it for you. I wish we had a 'summer home' to go to growing up, but my parents could not afford it. Great memories for lucky you! I envied my best friend when I was a kid. They went to Rhode Island to their summer home each summer and picked blueberries, beach, etc. I had a pony which come to think of it was 365 days a year vs a week or two so I think (even today) that I prefer the pony. My best friend wanted a pony, but got the summer home instead. I think she would have traded it for a pony, too." Hugs! -N.B.- Jul 28, 2014 5:31pm

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 628 - Letting Go Is Never Easy: "This is wonderful! I really, really like this one this week. :-) -C.B.- 7/1/2014 9:40 A.M

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 628 - Letting Go Is Never Easy: "Nice job of letting go of the past. Remember, living in the Now is what is best. Someone else will enjoy your treasures just as you have over the past years. I used to hang onto flower petals, etc from special events in my life. Moving is great in that it makes a person do an involuntary cleansing. I call it 'The Purging' mentally just as the body purges physically by throwing-up. The Purging is throwing-up/out things that are of the past. Memories fade and these items are a reminder of something experienced, but that experience is gone now and to be replaced with new memories. You put your memories into writing and that is much easier to retrieve, less costly to store, and has just as much meaning. I wish I had kept a journal all my life. I have letters that I wrote my parents before computers came about so I have those to read over for events, etc. Happy Summer...the sun shines with warmth and goodness for all." Hugs, -J.D.- 7/1/2014 9:05 A.M

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 628 - Letting Go Is Never Easy: "Hi Tasha, I know what you mean. I have six book cases and I've gone over them a dozen times but I can't part with any of them (yet). I also have dozens of stuffed animals. (They are not all on display at the same time--heaven forbid). I have a box of letters from my son when he was in the army, and "must have" knick-knacks" and seasonal decorations for all four seasons. I can do this because, as you know, you can do that when you have a house. I guess when I am terminal I can start divesting.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 628 - Letting Go Is Never Easy: "Nice job of letting go of the past. Remember, living in the Now is what is best. Someone else will enjoy your treasures just as you have over the past years. I used to hang onto flower petals, etc from special events in my life. Moving is great in that it makes a person do an involuntary cleansing. I call it 'The Purging' mentally just as the body purges physically by throwing-up. The Purging is throwing-up/out things that are of the past. Memories fade and these items are a reminder of something experienced, but that experience is gone now and to be replaced with new memories. You put your memories into writing and that is much easier to retrieve, less costly to store, and has just as much meaning. I wish I had kept a journal all my life. I have letters that I wrote my parents before computers came about so I have those to read over for events, etc. Happy Summer... the sun shines with warmth and goodness for all. Hugs, -J.D.- July 1, 2014 9:16 A.M

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 628 - Letting Go Is Never Easy: "Hi Tasha, I know what you mean. I have six book cases and I've gone over them a dozen times but I can't part with any of them (yet). I also have dozens of stuffed animals. (They are not all on display at the same time--heaven forbid). I have a box of letters from my son when he was in the army, and "must have" knick-knacks" and seasonal decorations for all four seasons. I can do this because, as you know, you can do that when you have a house. I guess when I am terminal I can start divesting.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 595 - Birthday Thoughts: "Interesting read here. I think that as people get older, they are the same person and more. Sometimes, they lose negative aspects of themselves as they become better people. Isn't it true that anybody can strive to become a better person and gain positive attributes? They can also learn new things and grow as people? In other words, I agree with this. Also, as a nineteen year old, I feel like I've been on this earth for a lot longer than nineteen years, but at the same time, I also feel young in many ways too. This intrigues me. I feel that time goes really slow at moments, but I also feel like I'm aging fast." -S.D- Nov 12, 2013 8:32 AM

If she had not unintentionally frightened me in those ways, I would not have become afraid of some of these things on my own. And we see that as adults, when we have the opportunity to either reassure someone gently but realistically, or compound their fears with drama and speculation. We all really need to be sensitive to the way others perceive what we are saying, and to the feeling behind it. Advice should be given with love." -S.W.- Oct 15, 2013 8:04 AM

I had to think a minute and then realized someone must have identified these on his plane ride to VA. I just said, “OK” and we started plowing out way through those thousands of people.

When my Sapphire sits in my garden, I go over to make sure she is comfortable by bending over, pulling the grass or vegetables away from her and just look down and around so I am at her level. With four cats, they sure keep me peaking at things throughout the day. Then there is the other end of the spectrum. Looking up. My wild birds and trees always get my attention and I sometimes strain to look beyond my human vision to see what they see in the sky. Many people are too busy to check their peripheral vision to notice what God has given to us for free. Yes, we will look and admire our freshly cut grass or the full moon and stars. But not many of us will look that little extra beyond to see true splendor and miracles at that lower or upper level." Love -C.A.- Jun 23, 2013 9:50 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 574: How Are You Today: "Hi Tasha, When I was young ad went shopping with my mother, if we saw someone washing windows, my mother would tell me how good the windows looked, or make some comment about their work. Likewise, she would tell someone how well they did, or something positive about it. So I learned that people should be acknowledged." Peace & Light, -L.P.- Jun 10, 2013 11:24 PM

This is actually something I have noticed more recently that life is so much happier when you can detach from the outcome of expectations if it doesn't go how you had expected it too especially in relation to other people. It eliminates so much unnecessary frustration that we ultimately have control over how it can make us feel but we can't change other people so why all the fuss? :) -R.W- Nov 21, 2012 9:32 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 544 - Haste Makes Waste: "Hi Tasha, Somewhere in there it reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.

When I slip back into my 'reporter racing deadline' mode just to get to an appointment or do something only moderately important, I wind up running in circles LITERALLY at times. Marilyn usually tries to calm me down. Haste not only makes waste -- it doesn't get you there any faster. I also don't have the multi-task focus I used to have in my professional years. I'm trying to come to terms with all of this and make life less frenetic."

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 542 - The Honored Dead: "Tasha I feel the same as you. Our departed have passed over to another frequency and are always glad to visit us and anxious to know we miss them and yet not hold them back from their journey. Departed loved ones are near us often and sometimes I sit and without even trying go into a trance. That is when I know someone dear is near. Hurray! For Halloween and for a time we can celebrate being with them. To me there are no barriers in this world if we just understood more about frequencies and energy because it is what we are minus our physical bodies. Or something of that nature. Nice article to get us thinking." HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! -C.K- Nov 1, 2012 8:27 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 542 - The Honored Dead: "I am writing also to tell you that I liked what you wrote about Halloween. Also in Italy we had the tradition of remembering the people we loved and that are not with us any more, but they are present in our hearts. I remember the particular sweets we had, dedicated to them, when I was a child. Nowadays Halloween is a consumistic anniversary, devoid of the deep meaning it had before."

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 542 - The Honored Dead: "Hi, Tasha!, A very short take on life after death because I'm still a little groggy after my drive home from Long Island yesterday. My weekend visit with my two Brothers was shortened because of "Sandy". I left here Saturday morning and returned by yesterday evening. Not good for body or soul. But the brief time spent at the old family home was very nice. There are dozens of family pictures everywhere with loved ones -- almost all who are gone. But as I chatted with my Brothers and gazed at the pictures, I thought of those relatives as when they were alive and all the good times we spent together. Most of my memories were from childhood and perhaps idealized but so what. I thought of those loved ones during the horrific drive home. It made the drive a little less frustrating."

Re: Love Notes 538 - Positively Thinking: "Tasha—A great article. It is something I work hard at and becoming aware of all that I say. Sometimes it is hard in the midst of seeing people you love have problems and have to rise above that you don't take on their karma. Certainly I need to go through a lot of things I have collected and now I try to see who in my life has mentioned something they like and if I am not using it I give it willingly. An old friend of mine and myself met one day and I saw she had a lapis lazuli ring. Then I remembered a beautiful pair of ear rings I had in my drawer that would match her ring and the next time we me I gave them to her. She immediately put them on and it was such a nice feeling to know the ear rings were finally being used by someone who greatly appreciated them." -C.P.- Oct 4, 2012 11:46 AM

Re: Love Notes 538 - Positively Thinking: "My Dear Tasha (whom I love), All of my ADD books say that if you have a large job that is intimidating or daunting, break up the task into manageable segments. I 'm guessing that many small bits don't seem so overwhelming. I break it up into 20 minutes to an hour's worth of work. I get boxes and label and sort them into groups. For instance office supplies, household items, craft items, candles, books, towels, decorations, etc.- whatever. I work one hour or more if I want. Each item goes in it's own box. You always can open to see how much is in each box and seal them when they are full. You can go by what is in the front of the storage unit and work towards the back, from one end to another, by the square yard measure, or however you'd like to break it up. As you go along you can have boxes for what you don't want or need, want to give away, Yard Sale, throw away, use, or want to store for future use. Line them up around you with the labels facing you. Then there is a place for everything. You can label as you go. It is easier when things are grouped into categories. And not so overwhelming. Slow and steady wins the race, and it will eventually get done. Don't let it buffalo you. It can be done. :D Thinking encouraging thoughts for you. You CAN do it, in your own time, or in your own way." Love to you and Stephen, -M.C.- Oct 2, 2012 9:14 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 525 - Happy Birthday Time: "I never thought of the 4th as being the least commercial of holidays, but how true & I am thankful for that. I can see w/the Boston pops concert & folks come from miles & states beyond that it may be the most 'spiritual' of celebrations/holidays - in listening to the special music performed. IT is music w/more meaning, inspiring deeper reflection - related to our great country.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 524 - The Lazy Days of Summer: "Hi Tasha, it's always a pleasure to hear from you
Summer is my favorite time of year. Less clothes to bother with, warm breezes blowing on my challenged lungs, I can leave the windows open to hear the summer rains to sooth my mind, & sit on the grass, and feel closer to the earth -the ever so challenged earth - & consume the richness of it soil with each breath.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 524 - The Lazy Days of Summer: "Nicely said, and a good reminder. Like you, I have little tolerance for high heat and humidity and here in VT, summer means a pretty good sized group of insects interested in tearing your flesh, or drinking your blood. We've deer flies, which fly directly at you at high speed, and bite you in a painful gulp. They're incredibly aggressive and vicious. There are black flies, with a smaller bite, but more of them. They get through the screens, and in through the quickly opened and shut doors, finding you as you sleep. Likewise, the no see ums. And of course, Mosquitoes Vermontus. I always wish for the late summer and fall, when the insects' short life has gone (all but a few, and the bees and wasps angrily flying around as winter approaches). Early October is divine, there's no arguing it. But truly? I'm good from late August until about February. As winter comes on, I like the clean, pollen and insect free, crisp bite of the winter air. It all seems so pure and beautiful. Still, when all is said and done, it's truly lovely to walk outside without having to take the time to add multiple layers of clothing, or to reverse the process when returning indoors." Thanks for the reminder. -B.K.- Jun 25, 2012 5:37 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 523 - Gifts My Father Gave Me: "I remember Dad's return from World War Two. He seemed ten feet tall in his Army dress uniform. The war left invisible scars on Dad never discussed until a short time before his death in '02. Dad rarely cried. He did once when putting me on the train to head south for basic training in '59. He showed pride when I returned home on my first leave in uniform. Dad internalized most of his emotions but was a very proud man. After his death, we found several WW2 medals in an envelope hidden away for decades. They were part of the horrors seen but never fully discussed. Eulogizing my Dad, I talked about the sum of a man's life being his legacy. So, here's to Dad on his day. -G.L.- Jun 18, 2012 8:37 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 522 - That Great Teacher, Pain: "I wasn't brought up with physical pain. I remember the one spanking my father gave me and I see why but I didn't know better at the time. I was 7 or 8 and the cherry tree outside the dining room window was covered with white blossoms when I arrived home from school. I was thrilled; so gorgeous so I got the washtub and filled it with the garden hose and proceeded to climb the tree and pick every single flower and floated them in my "lily pond". When he came home from work he was aghast; no cherry pies or cherry olives coming up. He was as shocked as I was when he paddled me swiftly but lightly. And when I was fifteen my mother slapped my mouth once and oh, did I deserve it! I never said that again. Normally they'd just give me the look and I'd know better." -S.L.- Jun 11, 2012 9:51 AM

Re Heartwings Love Notes 517 - Belonging: "Tasha... this is so on-target with most of humanity.  The hive. What a great confirmation! We really are a herd/pack species so tend to form groups and categories for placement so to speak. It is in our nature. Organizations fill those needs somewhat on a social level. The hierarchy is probably: Universe, World, Country, State, County, City, Town, neighborhood, home, room. I guess it helps prevent chaos and finds its order in things. In the end we are One and when we go to the great beyond, boundaries are abolished....yay!

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 516 - Habits: "How true, Tasha, I too, had a food “enlightenment” last October when my doctor said I had Type 2 diabetes. My A1c was at 7.5 (normal A1c is 5.5-5.9). I read all I could online and in books. I found that the hospital diabetic dieticians were clueless as to how to eat for “recovery”. They only tell you how to maintain or keep control of diabetes. If one followed their advice it would eventually lead to severe complications and the use of insulin.

What did I find out? That diabetes is reversible, curable, and it is easy to do. IT IS NOT sugar that is the culprit, albeit sugar also is not a health food. IT IS the “heart healthy grains” that are being pushed upon America causing weight gain and sugar problems. Why? Because carbohydrates turn to sugar quickly and cause high blood glucose and weight gain. I found that even real oats for oatmeal made my sugar rise to OVER 220! So I began eating no to low carb. What does that mean? NO WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, etc etc NO Pasta, no rice, no bread, no crackers, no cereals and even no potatoes or starchy high glycemic veggies. I have been following in essence the Paleo diet with a few tweaks and in 7 months have lowered my A1c to 6.0! Lost 15 pounds, still wish that were more. And cholesterol went from 267 to 198. Still working on that. Thought you would find this interesting," Love -K.L.- PS: Hope that darn gall bladder gets better or goes away! May 2, 2012 8:10 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 507 - The Reward of Virtue: "Tasha, your article can not be more on time. I also was brought up the same way and our parents and society meant well. It was how they were taught. I recently discovered that I am talented and do not need anyone but myself to pat me on the back. I do not allow walls to come up any more. This is all very new to me and I like it. I am happy to hear you feel the same way about yourself, as you are a very talented writer. Thank you for this article. It is not a coincidence, but a confirmation that we are on our way to better things." Love you, -L.K.- Feb 27, 2012 10:42 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 506 - A Listening Ear: "Today, I lost my Aunt Ruth who lived in Florida. My father's younger sister. Alan knows her. Anyway, because of YOUR Heartwings, I had a touching conversation with TWO people. We talked of acknowledging others' pain, and how it is soo important to do so. One had lost a favorite pet dog yesterday, and the other had recently lost a pet dog. Tasha, this is a VERY VERY important topic.... ESPECIALLY these days of being rushed and isolated.

Re: Heartwings Love notes 506 - A Listening Ear: "Ram Dass said that help is often just us trying to make people be what we think they ought to be or giving them what we think they need without taking them into consideration at all ! He and Paul Gorman wrote a wonderful book called, How Can I Help? The listening ear is what I have had a hard time teaching one of my sisters. Finally I found the words and told her I do not want a conversation; I just want to talk about this.  Since then she has been a better listener.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 503 - Skating: "Oh I love this Tasha, we are so much alike sometimes. There use to be a pond behind my grandma's house, (I spent a lot of my years with her) and I would be given second hand skates, and OH how I wanted to skate and I would go over by myself and try and try. During school outings my ankles would not hold up either and I would be on the side watching others. I always dreamed of being on the ice in the Ice Capades..... was not to be and have not seen skates even though my son and ex husband could skate like the wind, since he was a kid..... your right when we learn our limits..... hard to take sometimes." Hope you are keeping well. Hugs -S.M.- Jan 30, 2012 12:22 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 503 - Skating: "It is such a relief when we finally recognize that we do have limits … just things that we can't do and maybe don't really even WANT to do. Ice skating was like that for me, too. And I really hated it. I knew I was supposed to like it and want to master it, but my ankles always hurt and I was always falling and getting ice up my butt.

Then Christmas midnight mass... again walk one mile each way... can remember numerous times it started snowing coming back from midnight mass...

I will admit to using Olay ProX and liking the results, though. I've always said if I had enough disposable income to have "work done" I would be better served by taking that money to a travel agent and going to wonderful places in the world where my focus will be on faces other than my own." -C.P.- Aug 20, 2011 8:41 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes - 478 Editing Life: "Tasha, like you I find the editing part of writing the hardest.

I just want to put the initial 'thrust of it' out there and not have to work at developing it. It is always rewarding when I do, though, of course. Life seems to have been teaching me about a certain editing process in this last year-cleaning out the apartments of people who move away (working for the property owners of our house here in FL). It has been a lot of physical and psychological work- sorting out and clearing 'stuff' that others just leave behind. I think I've just realized something very symbolic and deep.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 462 - What Can I Do?: "Tasha. Many time as I'm reading one of your Heartwings I think about what a blessing it is for you to share them with me and others. It's love going out from you via e mail. It comes into our homes and blesses us, and provokes us to thought. Anything that gets my old lazy brain to shift gears is a "good thing". And it's good to hear more about you through Stephen.  It's a sunny and windy day, dynamic and yet comforting. It seems as if God is vacuuming up there, moving the clouds to clean underneath. :) It's a happy day for me, and I hope it is for you as well. I had Cheesecake Factory cheesecake for breakfast and a cold bottle of water for a beverage. It started my day off sunny- from the inside out. :) God is so good.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 453 - Being Your Own Valentine: "I went to a Catholic school from grades K through 6. That one line reminds my how tormented I was because I was too loud, a busy body and a Miss know-it-all. I remember those horrible valentines that were printed out by a nasty bubble gum company that the boys found so popular. I received cards like: If your were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy---- I'd hang myself. The boys thought that was funny. I found it hurtful. I even received some from the girls. In todays world, I would have been put on Ritalin or some other popular drug to "quiet me down". I was a straight A student up unto grade 5 when I had a nun who absolutely despised me because I was too smart. After that, I hated school and only passed with B's and C's. My father wouldn't let me change teachers because he said that I will meet people like her all my life and I had to deal with it. It always left me with a sour taste in my heart. As I brought up my 2 sons and my grandson, I told them to never say a girl was ugly or stupid, etc. I told them, "That girl could become someone's mother (grandmother) some day, like I am to you." I think they got the message. As for Valentine cards, I remember cutting up note book paper with great pride, shaping it into a heart and leaving it on my mother's pillow, saying I love you. I sometimes get my husband a real tear jerker, then other years a hearty chuckle card. I NEVER sent a hurtful card, ever, no matter who I disliked. St. Valentine said-- to you I give my heart (in the name of God). So to you my dear friend, who is now VERY popular--- I give to you my heart." Love -Carol Ann- February 7 2011 7:40:37 P.M

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way: "Yes, they do kick ! My father made sure I knew how to shoot a gun. Every weekend we went out target practicing.....in the back of a cops house no less. You think a hand gun has a kick.....try a double barrel shot gun !!! I do not recommend both barrels. One should be enough to knock you on your butt and dislocate your shoulder ! There is how ever a little hand gun known as the ladies gun. I think it is a Keuger. Very small, fits in the palm of your hand. Called ladies gun because it is really easy to shoot with no kick. Surprised your instructor did not let the ladies use one. -D.D.- June 7, 2010 11:25 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way: "Good Morning and Blessings on you Tasha for trying! I never imagined myself being involved with firearms either until I went for a safety course on the handling of Black Powder and firearms that use it.  One of the lady’s who was there at the course and is experienced, took me under her wing and felt that I should at least try once to fire this little gun that she hand. It’s a replica of a Queen Anne flintlock. She showed me how to load and fire it.  We were only going to be firing off blank paper cartridges. No bullets. I was scared to death! That was a little over a year ago.  I was stunned to find that despite being fearful, the sound and the smoke was a bit of a thrill.  Not unlike being on a roller coaster.  Little did I realize that I was hooked.  I ended up taking an official course offered by the Lawrence Rod and Gun Club on Black Powder Safety and firearms handling. Several of the crew members of the Black Rose II, www.blackrose2.com attended as well.  It was fun and enlightening in many ways.  I now own 2 flintlocks. They are working replicas of early fire arms and I’ve come to be a lot more comfortable around them. At current I’ve yet to fire a bullet, but several of us are looking into practicing at a firing range.  I never imagined this happening at all! As these are single shot firearms, I think that’s the part that makes me most comfortable.  I don’t think I’d be very comfortable with anything like you were shooting, where there are multiple bullets.  I think that would scare me silly. Kudos to you for trying! You are such a brave woman!" Love and Hugs -A.T.- June 7, 2010 10:05 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way + some previous downsizing Heartwings stories: "Hi Tasha, I loved this one, as I was taught to shoot a shotgun when I was 10 yrs old by my uncle and dad. You are right about being unaware of how different things may seem until we try them!  I am very comfortable now with shooting, and have always had a great respect for firearms, and the proper way to use them. I am glad that you had this experience.

I also have loved the stories of your becoming used to your new smaller home quarters, and how much less you are able to get along with. We too are talking about downsizing.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 403 - Loving God: "OH Tasha, this rings so true and I did so much searching for yrs too...to find my truth inside! The depth of unconditional love is the only way we can accept the beauty and the ugliness of this strange world we are in for a short time. My "altar" is still inside as I talk to God and I am given visions and answers to my questions. But I am always still questioning, talking or listening! I truly believe it takes a much deeper love than our human feelings in order to see the light in those or that which looks so dark. I carry a "lantern of light" as i go into the darkness and healing with many people. And it is rarely by knowledge but by faith and love that people my heart and hands touch heal a part of their lives. You give the love thru your experiences, words and they help heal! Bless you! I just felt I knew you and you touched my insides with this heartwing note." xoxoxo :) -M.E- February 23, 2010 7:47 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 399 - The Flower Clock: "Thank you for always writing about things that make wonderful sense, and phrasing them in the kindest most gentle way." -A.D.- January 26, 2010 10:39 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 399 - The Flower Clock: "I believe our ancestors did not need time pieces as we do today because they had one already. The sun, you woke at dawn, and went to bed at dusk. You did not need a clock for one simple reason. You did your task for as long as it took to do it right and well. They knew when something was taking too long, simply because it had been done for years the same way. Tradition was a time piece. And it was handed down. Our life's would be so much better with out clocks. it only makes us limit ourselves. Another restraint. Something to keep time of how and who can be the fastest in this thing we call a rat race. Time pieces have pretty faces, but it makes our faces ugly with wrinkles and frowns. We put time on everything but the one most important thing....ourselves.  Like rabbits, we run around saying we're late, we're late. And when death comes, we say its too early. Ecclesiastes says it best," there is a time for everything." And try as we may, whether we turn back a clock, or push it forward, time ticks true.  Clocks tick like a heart beat. But, we no longer hear the heart beat of the clock or that of our own heart." God bless, love, -D.D.- January 26, 2010 9:25 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 399 - The Flower Clock: "What a wonderful Heartwings again!  I've always despised clocks. I only have a clock in the bedroom. Otherwise they are banned from the rest of my house. Now that everyone has a cell phone, if they really need to know the time, they can keep track of it themselves. I love being free from time, being unaware what the actual time is. So much of our lives are timed or scheduled, it's nice to ignore that when I'm home and just be. I eat when I'm hungry, I go to the bathroom when I need to, I walk the dog when she tells me she is ready, the cats come to me when they want to play or to be pet." Love your writing!

Re: Heartwings Love notes 392 - Wrapped in Love: "I always enjoyed folding diapers for the same reason. I found it to be meditative. As I folded each white, cotton rectangle, I would think about what a gift it was for my baby to be wearing cloth diapers, and also of the gift I was giving the environment by not using disposables.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 380 - Dreams: "Hello Tasha, I thank you so much for this and thank you for your constant friendship." -Barbara- September 14, 2009 10:21 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 380 - Dreams: "YOU ARE ONE NEAT, NEAT LADY, MISS TASHA!  I'm so glad I stumbled on your Heartwings years ago, and wrote to you. You have been an unseen counselor to me through the years as your healing, helpful, thought-provoking words put patches on many bruised and sore spots of my ego. Sometimes your stories just bring up comforting times in my own past, and remind me of how loved I was as a child. Yesterday was the 14th anniversary of my mother's death, and I still get teary-eyed at times. I'm just feeling a bit down today.

I, too, used to have dreams of writing, when I wrote poetry in high school, MANY years ago, and edited our literary magazine. I never pursued it, but through some quirk of fate, I find myself writing a weekly newsletter now for some 400 people. I run our weekly summer farmers' market here in our city, through my job as the Visitors Center Coordinator, and the newsletter is all about the doings at the market. I also find myself now losing this job I've had for 8 years, (through someone else's political agenda causing the Visitors Center to close soon due to withholding our funding), and I question whether I have any skills useful in finding another job. Today's Heartwings from you helped me to realize that I guess I did accomplish a long ago dream of writing, even if small and temporary. Thank you, God bless you." -Dottie- September 14, 2009 6:20 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 380 - Dreams: "Dear Tasha, I always enjoy your Heartwings, but this one especially spoke to me. How nice to see your dreams comes true! Not only for you, but for me to read about it! I am happy for you! And your words are inspirational, as always. I have had many dreams in my lifetime as well, and as I grow older I do see some of them turn to reality. My first dream was to be a nun! But when I was 8 years old I can recall coming to a life changing conclusion. I wanted children. So, I decided I would get have to get married, and the dream of becoming a nun faded away. My husband Dan is the best thing that ever happened to me!

I also wanted to become writer, like you, but I have never been published. Although I did write a novel. I have several rejection slips. Oh well. I have several more stories inside me that I need to put down on paper. Although publication may not be in my future, it feels good for me to write and get the story outside of me because they do kick and scream to come out.

I do love Steve McDonald's music, and have loved it since the first time I heard it. Sometimes I am amazed that I am able to work with him, even if I have never met him face to face, I feel we have special friendship. It is indeed dream come true for me to run his fan club, and distribute his music. Thanks for always sharing your Heartwings with me" Love, -Jackie- September 14, 2009 1:10 PM

I’ve noticed that you’ve often returned to the theme of your propensity to make mistakes, and have mentioned the ridicule you received from it as a child. I think you may have a misperception about yourself on this one. I’ve known you for a number of years now, and honestly, I can’t think of a mistake you’ve made since I’ve known you. I don’t see you as mistake-prone at all. Instead, I’ve observed that you thoughtfully assess a situation and generally respond with a well-reasoned action.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 364 - Memorial Day Memories: "Thank you for rekindling so many memories.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 364 - Memorial Day Memories: "Memorial Day was always special in my childhood, too. We decorated graves of loved ones with whatever flowers were in bloom then from our gardens. After I was married and moved from the plains of Nebr. and lived on one coast or the other, I could not see enriching the floriest so instead I chose to make donations to my favorite charities in their names to enrich the lives of those in need. I can't see making morticians richer either nor florists at that time. I preferred when it was celebrated for the right reasons on that day rather than the three day week-ends we're guaranteed now." -Sheila D.- May 24, 2009 6:04 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 364 - Memorial Day Memories: "How very lovely. As a child, my parents would bring me downtown to see the parade on Memorial Day. I never could understand why we celebrated "war" and the murder/killing of so many innocent lives. The solders would march by, then the float of the four solders who held the American Flag back up that mound on an island with a name that I never could understand. We went to the same parade year after year until I was a teen. Suddenly, I was married, having children of my own and did not keep up the tradition of honoring war. I understand Memorial Day represents all who died for their country. But if I were German or Jewish or Japanese or French or Italian, I would be honoring that particular country and those who died protecting their country and/ or religious beliefs. We are all human beings. We all make choices. It's sad when any human being dies. We are sent here to learn our lessons. Then we die and review those experiences, for better or for worse. Memorial Day means to celebrate the lives of all the human beings who truly wanted peace for their planet and families, no matter where on Earth they lived and died. I celebrate human life--for better or for worse." Love -Carol Ann T.- May 24, 2009 9:20 AM

Re: Heartwings Love notes 358 - The Web of Memory: "Such lovely memories. My dad always bought my mom a gardenia for Easter and a small flower for me and we lovingly straight-pinned them onto our Easter coats. When my sister was born (I was 8 years, 8 months old) my father stopped buying the flowers as now he had to buy an extra flower, and he just couldn't afford the extra flower with an extra mouth to feed. He occasionally would buy my mom a flower for her coat. After Dad died, my mom approached her 70th birthday. My sister and I gave her a surprise birthday party and I ordered a gardenia corsage. I asked my oldest cousin, who was dying with cancer, to do the honors and pin it on my mother. Mom whispered to me "I know why you bought the gardenia". That summer, mom and my oldest cousin went to an Alaskan cruise together and 8 weeks later, my cousin passed away. Traditions are wonderful memories, and now my Mom has dad and her favorite niece to remember when I buy her another gardenia. Love -Carol Ann- April 13, 2009 11:17 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 342 - Naughty or Nice?: "To portray him in that way is to bring forth the true spirit of Christmas giving as it lives in the hearts of us all'. Thanks for reminding me.

I will have to try harder to break the old ways of thinking. I thought I loved without conditions but apparently I don't.  If only we could see all the time through the eyes of a child. Cory was so excited about the party he stood their watching all others opening packages than his name was called and got to sit on Santa lap and have a picture taken. After getting down he didn't under stand the helper had his gift and Cory started to walk away. The young boy (Santa's helper) bent down to Cory and passed him the gift. He than came back to the table where we all were sitting at, was told how to open and see what he was given. He pulled the paper off looking with surprised big eyes at a toy.

You DO have a way of making my heart sing, I do love my life!" God bless you and yours richly forever. -Connie B./Mother Connie- November 16, 2008 10:41PM

Heartwings Love Notes 337 - Birthday Reflections: "Dear Tasha, Hi. Thanks, as always, for your Heartwings. I am trying to feel positive now, as I read your Heartwings at 3:30 a.m. Having to get up so early in the morning to go to work can put a damper on things, hahaha. I never sleep well when I have to get up so early. Oh well. I am off tomorrow and can sleep in. Thanks again. I always enjoy your thoughts." Love, -Jackie- November 10, 2008 6:33 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 336 - Seeds of joy: "Tasha, You are such a beautiful person for sharing and in your own way teaching, reminding us of our own issues, with each of your Heartwings. I'm so very glad I know you. Even though we don't talk often, you are in my thoughts regularly. My mother was Scorpio and I didn't get along with her so believed Scorpio wasn't good for me. Other Scorpios in my life have often confirmed my thought, but you don't fit that scenario, thankfully. Perhaps because you reveal so much of yourself in Heartwings rather than keeping everything a secret. You let people know you intimately with your writings. Please continue, friend."

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 336 - Seeds of joy: " Good Morning my dear friend. WOW....did you strike a nerve this morning!!! We are so much alike it is not even funny. I am your story also, I was also an only child which made life very difficult. I cried through most of this, I was reading it to Paul and crying and you are so right, I still struggle with loving that little child inside of me.
Rejection and expectations are still a huge issue for me, when something does not happen that I am looking forward to I am soooo disappointed. I bet this could become another huge topic like the Grandma's Apron??? Bless you my dear friend.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 333 - My Grandmother's House: "Hi Tasha, That was a sweet memory. My favorite was of hot many pies cooling on the window panes every summer welcoming our visit to the 100 acre farm along the wide river in Bow, N.H. My grandmom had a large garden until I was about 10. She passed when I was a teenage I think. Anyways, my aunt Aggie and my Nana were always very sweet. They lived together with my grandfather for as long as I knew them.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 333 - My Grandmother's House: "I have some precious memories of my paternal grandmother and her home. She loved birds and designed her tiny backyard to entice them. She could mimic their calls. She always made us drink Apricot Nectar with breakfast. She saved rose petals. She sang funny songs to make us laugh. She loved hiking and camping. We'd listen to Spike Jones 45's in her attic. She called me "Amy Angel". Awwww.....!! I sure do miss her. She was always thrilled when all 7 of us would show up after a long, long drive. She was there when I was born! Beautiful woman. Thanks for you lovely story." Love, -Amy- October 13, 2008 1:00 PM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 318 - Small Presents: "Hi Tasha....This one is especially timely for me!! It is funny how we can relate to like circumstances... 99% of the time I read your notes right away, but I put this off until today as we have had prospective buyers looking at our property to buy, so I have cleaning all week. We are hopefully moving back over nearer the coast for a number of reasons.. Anyway, I really smiled when I did read this just now, as yesterday I was cleaning places that had not been cleaned for a long while, and grumbling a bit to myself....Then suddenly I stopped and had my big moment of what you refer to as an "attitude of gratitude"...noting to myself how fortunate I am to have places to clean (like window ledges full of bugs and pollen between the windows and the screens.)....AND to have the ability to clean them still!! ...

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 313 - Little By Little We Learn: "Hi Tasha, I had the same cloth bag struggle! One day I saw "Envirosax" on an internet site and ordered them. They're parachute fabric and five come in a tiny little pouch that fit in my purse. The bags are quite large and hold at least the equivalent of two plastic bags. I've carried them for almost two years and have had so many people ask "where did you get those?" because of their bright graphic prints. Now I use my cloth bags for library books and to hold all the random items that are in my car. My son is going to get a set for his July birthday. On the day after Thanksgiving my daughter-in-law, her mom and I went out to the stores (crazy time!) and Jolene was charmed by the bags I kept pulling out of my purse - "what are you, a magician?" she laughed! And you're right - it's good to have a few plastic bags for other uses. Unfortunately I'm seeing way too many people without cloth bags in the stores. I'm not sure people are as committed to environmentalism as we were in the 'olden days'. We're having a gorgeous spring. Hope you are, too." Love, -Candi- May 29, 2008 7:30 AM

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 310 - The Joy of Dandelions: "Tasha! Once again "you're in my head"!

 The other day I was pulling handfuls of "Creeping Charlie" out of flower beds and what lawn we do have...we minimize "real grass" and encourage domestic ground covers.  "Charlie" is so prolific and really, yes, very pretty with the little round leaves and purple flowers. When I came inside I told my husband that this weed probably contains the cure for cancer or another serious disease, and who would know? We see it as undesirable, and that's that. This is a neighbor's yard, prolific with wild violets and yes, those happy yellow flowers." Enjoy this beautiful spring! Love, -Candi- April 30th 2008 4:08pm

Only in her later years did she explore other recipes, etc. Now, I don’t care about cooking much. My husband Steve, however loves to cook so I let him. We work together on large meals for guests, etc. I enjoy making the salads and baking the pies. Just a little commentary from the now “senior” Mrs. N. Sending my love and wishes for a great week!"

She taught me so many wonderful things, like how to sew, and I have a special family altar if you will where her picture and my great grandmother reside. I lived with them both for the first 2 years of life and have strong bonds with both of these strong women. Just wanted you to know I vibed especially strong with your shared story.

I am writing a poem for him to be published in "Spare Change" newspaper. His mother is depending on me it seems to memorialize him or coordinate some sort of service. I wish I could be as graceful with the heavy changes in life as you are; particularly seeing the beauty in a loved one's memory instead of suffering the loss with resentment, self-pity and all those negative emotions. That has been my tendency. I tend to resist and, as I am learning, the resistance only wears me down.

And him as one with it.
Not in his grave,
But singing in the soil....

I have had family members with such challenging medical problems it has prevented me from coming to any conclusions too quickly. Other than there is a unique healing process for each person and elements that go into creating health. I have been humbled more than once when what I thought would help actually made things worse. I should have been a medical intuitive and things would have been much easier.... I agree in essence the greatest thing we can do is to LISTEN to the body....and heart...the keys are all there."

At age 61, though, my desk relatively clean, 25 sick days a year blessedly unused, I picked up the laptop and sent an email to the office. Snuggled in the bedcovers, good dogs warming me, I slept until 11:30. Dennis left coffee in the microwave for me to heat up. An email from work brought a message of concern and hope for quick healing. And now, dear Tasha, I think it might be time for another nap!" Blessings and love, -Candi- Jan 30th 2008

Re: Heartwings New Book - Heartwings Love Notes for a Joyous Life: "Tasha, you are truly an inspiration.  I'm so excited to get my own copy of the book soon. You have always been a beacon, shining through the thick fog and turbulent waters of depression and fear, guiding us and reminding us that hope remains eternal. I know that we all have times when we feel like a black hole and have nothing to live for, let alone anything to give to others in need. Yet that instant when we turn away from our darkness and summon up light and love to help another, we see how foolish we've been, hiding inside ourselves, ruminating over imagined flaws and weaknesses, and we open our eyes and our hearts to one in need, we realize why we are here. Then the darkness vanishes, leaving only light. and the immense power of love and caring. You taught me this. A lesson that has improved my life in so many ways. It's a gift I will always treasure.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 282 - A Mothers Love: "Hi Tasha, This was a very nice Heartwings, as they all are. It brought back bittersweet memories of my beloved Grandparents' last years. (Both of my parents died many years ago--they were both in their 50's.) For the last several years my grandmother didn't know who I was, and it was not only difficult to visit her and have a conversation with her, but heartbreaking for me as well, because we had always been so close. I think my Grandfather knew me, but he had had several strokes, and couldn't talk, but he did react to me. My Grandmother was always very sweet, and happy to see me, although she did not know me from one moment to the next. But I know that we shall be together one day, and I look forward to it. OK, enough of that, or I shall cry." -Jackie- Oct 16th 2007

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 277 - An Inadvertent Return To The Past: "Tasha I sent your Heartwings out to a few people today and this was one of the responses I got... thought you would enjoy seeing Shirley's response to your message."  Hugs -Sandi M.- Sept 10th 2007

 "Hi Sandi - I really enjoyed the story of "An Inadvertent Return to the Past".  Grandmas house was the same - exactly the same, until we could no longer afford the block of ice. Then perishables went down into the cellar which was cool enough even in the summer to keep butter semi firm and milk from curdling for a few days anyway. Leftovers were certainly dealt with within a day (fried up-anything that was leftover, nothing was wasted). When our own fridge went a couple of summers ago, naturally during a heat wave I did exactly what the writer did and like her, was very glad when our new appliance was delivered. I think what I most appreciate about modern living is being able to turn on a tap and get hot water. Take a shower and a bath-luxurious!  As a child I had to haul water and heat it on the old electric stove before dumping it into the bathtub. Oh and then you didn't waste the bath water either. After me came Grandma to take her bath, then the water was bailed out by hand and poured down a sink that drained into the ditch next to the house. It's remarkable that we didn't get some kind of illness from what they call to-day "grey water".  We have so much to be grateful for, don't we.  Blessings  -Shirley-"

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 265 - Is This Really Progress: "Dear Tasha, I was so amused to read this Heartwings! Your thoughts about the automatic checkout are exactly the same as my own." -Marian- June 19th 2007

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 265 - Is This Really Progress: "Ever walk into a store, through an auxiliary entrance, thinking you'll save time entering the store that way from the parking lot and then walk by some of the unattended self-service checkouts in order to get to the rest of the store? Ultimately none of them are being used when you walk by and then they all come to attention (they're alerted by movement you know) usually Qty-4 of them and they start speaking, loudly, in short delay of one another, each going through it's spiel, telling you what they're about, how they can help you, and what you should be doing next, repeating the what you should be doing next statement as your startled, processing the high tailing it out of there. Makes you feel perhaps just a tad bit embarrassed for not having walked around to the front entrance of the store next time. Like - Halt!, Who Goes There.. Some has entered the store by going the wrong (but not marked as such) way. Not by one but all four of the machines.

Let alone the mechanics of operating one of them, should be simple right? Be prepared shoppers - be on your game, others are now behind you with the same idea of a quick, expedient checkout. Your timing or pace has got to be right (I swear it's like a Candid Camera or store crew just having fun with you), scanning the item correctly, then maybe "scan it again", guess what? it's got no barcode- , Oops you waited to long "Attendant assistance" is now displayed on the screen in front of you, now comes "place it in the bag", you think about it h'mmm and say which bag - is this like Lets make a deal and which door do I choose?, "place it in the bag - now please!!!" the machine declares - Oops "remove the last item placed" - No wait that was me bumping of the scale the bag was on by mistake - sorry!, Nope - "remove that last item now please!", "Which method do you prefer to pay with", "Are you using a card?", "which kind of card please? debit/credit", "which type of card please? visa/ master card/etc, "On what date did president Lincoln give the Gettysburg Address?" What? - Why do you want to know that?, "Insert card please" Were?. "Insert your card now please", OK - fine take my wallet also if you want and you choose - just please stop asking me all these questions, "What? - Wait a minute - You have coupons?", "Attendant assistance required" - "Attention All shoppers" it announces across the store - "Attendant assistance"... "Someone has messed up on automated-self-checkout machine number ~~~" (as a picture of you now appears on all security monitors across the store like a most wanted poster).

HELP! - Run, hide - leave the groceries, we can always shop again later but this time use a cashier. Wait no, it's got my card and I'm being held hostage, shoppers are now looking on - some thinking gee what's up with this person in front of me? not realizing as yet and others thinking - Oh God could I be next? - is there an open cashier?" A'hh Yes Progress! -Doc D.- June 18th 2007

Re: Heartwings New Book - Heartwings Love Notes for a Joyous Life and Heartwings Love Notes 259 - Dance or March The Choice is Yours:

"I ordered two copies of your book - WONDERFUL! Congratulations, Tasha! I'm saving the extra for a friend's birthday and know she will love it too.

So often your Heartwings and my life coincide, and this time is no exception. Last Sunday night we had Confirmation for 75 eighth graders. I did all their certificates through a database program that I had used the year before. Ten minutes before Mass began one of the parents came to me and said "the wrong date is on the certificates". I immediately went to the microphone in the sanctuary and announced to 1000 people that technology had made my job so much easier. In the past I HAND LETTERED their certificates. This year, however, between pain meds for a wrist fracture and general muzzy-60's-headedness I neglected to change the date on the "report" feature of the database. Oddly I DID change the year but not the date. I told everyone they would have their new certificates within three days and they did.

Embarrassing, yes. We ALL do "bloopers". Here's my mantra: Will I be remembering this on my deathbed? Not likely !

As always, thank you for your remarkable insights and beautiful writing. I still compare you to another favorite, Anne Lamott!

Blessings and love,
Candi May 10th 2007

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 233 - Ageless At Any Age & Tasha's New Book: "I am looking forward to purchasing your book! Be sure to let us know when and where! Since I'll be rolling over a "zero" birthday-wise next month, your column "hit the spot". I've never regretted birthdays - those of us who had young people in our lives leaves way too soon know how precious each day is. Bless you and your work." -Love, Candi- Nov 6th 2006

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 233 - Ageless At Any Age: "Dear Tasha, Thank you so much for this! This has arrived at just the right time. I have a birthday this week, and due to astrological pressures in my sign I have had a bit of a rough ride lately, and have had to let go of a lot. You are so right, I had been focusing on the age I am going to be and getting depressed about it, now I am going to become ageless also. Just to say it feels so liberating! It gives me permission to become whoever I want to be (without setting off a chronological death knoll). I have never felt my age and for a long time I didn't look it. Oh thank you so much for giving me this freedom. Thank you for the wonderful work you do." -Love and Blessings, Elly- Wales, United Kingdom. Nov 6th 2006

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 233 - Ageless At Any Age & Tasha's New Book: "Happy Birthday Tasha! I am delighted to learn that you have compiled your Heartwings notes into a book. I am a fan! I admire both the messages your bring, and the skill with which you deliver this wisdom. Often, I reread a phrase you have composed just to marvel at your way with words. It warms my heart to know that your Heartwings will be in book form dispensing such uplifting guidance to many. Please let me know when it becomes available." -Love, Shelley- Author Nov 6th 2006

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 233 - Ageless At Any Age: "How timely! This week I will celebrate my 33rd birthday. Again. I think I prefer ageless, though. People are beginning to doubt my age as 33...gee, I wonder why. I love your messages; I love YOU. Happy Unbirthday to an Ageless Wonder!" -Hugs, Connie- Nov 5th 2006

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 226 - The Lost Art: "Well Said Tasha, I remember as a girl growing up on the farm in Hubbardston, I so very much enjoyed receiving letters in the mail - sometimes from pen-pals I never actually met, or from friends who moved away, or the many post cards from my uncle who traveled w/his work. As a teenager, I loved the many crazy, zany ones of all sizes & containing bits of dog food, laundry soap, hair, or other funny stuff from wild & crazy friends of mine. As a young adult the letters took on more serious & thoughtful tones, as different friends wrote about their experiences from a poets' point of view. Later, still more serious subjects were expressed - car repairs, illnesses, jail, deaths, births, but happy experiences too - like parties, births, trips, happy meetings.  Now w/email, many don't seem to be too interested in personal electronic letters. Letter writing has become a lost art. But they create history & give proof of life being lived. I still keep a shoebox filled w/letters from yrs. ago, the envelopes have pictures drawn on them by the senders, stickers, or sayings. How wonderful it was to get them in the mail." Peace & Love, -Ann- Sep 20th 2006

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 226 - The Lost Art: "Hello dear Tasha, how right you are. We still write many letters, they so often carry the loving essence of the writer and bring a sweetness to the reader as the note is re-read many times... bless you for your lovely insights! With love from us all at the Lodge..." -Jane.- Sep 17th 2006

Laughter can do so much, when I'm not feeling well, a funny movie makes me feel much much better. I tend to own more funny movies than anything else. One of my favorites is Auntie Mame, her ability to turn things for the better with very humorous results is something I've tried to emulate. Much love and laughter to you all!"

Very well put!  I've done a similar thing a couple different times and there IS a sense of release and relief.  Your point about the act of forgiveness being an ongoing process is most definitely true for me.  Just when I think I've forgiven someone or myself....something happens and an old resentment comes to mind.  Then the process starts over again. Your messages always challenge me to see a new perspective on life and I appreciate them so much."

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 177 - Lessons in The Attic: "Dear Tasha, Funny, just before I opened this email (I have been so busy practicing for a very important concert), I spent 2 hours sorting through old photographs from the last 10 years or so. The main objective was to find good photos for my website in progress, but in the process found maybe hundreds of memories hidden in my psyche, of beautiful moments with family and friends, watched my son grow up in what seemed like a slide show of events. And like you, I might have felt guilty spending so long on what seemed a useless lapse of time, but was well worth the hours sitting amongst the collage of colors and dreams."  -Irene-

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 169 - Lessons in Living: "Dear Tasha, What a terrific description of the ordeal/growth involved in the process of "downsizing". We are such a culture of consumption.

Tasha, "Just a quick note. It is always moving when you write so personally of your life.

"You know sometimes someone comes along and makes a real impact on a person's life. I was 19, unmarried, and pregnant in 1970. I met an old woman and her husband, she came to my house one day and found me passed out on the floor from hunger. I woke up to her putting a face cloth on my face and taking care of me. She took me to the welfare office and got me commodities, then she asked me how far along I was. She said she would help me find a doctor, well she did and helped me get Medicade. This wonderful women hand sewed me baby stuff for my baby, at the time I didn't know it because she told me the things were for one of her grandsons. When she gave me the baby things I asked her how I was ever going to repay her? She said "Just pass it on". Ever since then I have tried to do just that, I taught self defense in Waterson College. One of the girls I taught saw me on the bus one day, she told me some of the things I had taught her came in handy and without it she may have lost her life. She was able to disarm a man with a gun and had him arrested. You never know the kind of impact you will have on another person's life. Thanks so much for the Heartwings, you have made an genuine impact and difference with my life as well."  -Phyllis-
