So I’m blogging now ??!!#!!??**?
What the heck is a “blog” and why do people do this?
I am an artist, a right-brainer, and way too celestial for my own good.  I’m very uncomfortable with new technology…so why am I doing this?…tell me again?
I have been told that it’s a good way for people to get to know me better and understand why I wrote what I did in my memoir…so here goes.

BLOG #1:
Grab the book and place it in front of you. Don’t open it yet. Let’s talk about the title, Forgetting To Fly. I hear you asking, “Do you really think you can fly?”
Of course not.
“Then why the title?”
Because when I was very young I would dream that I could fly. It was wonderful. Not a care in the world. No rush or chaos, only the wind in my face, breathing in a crystal blue sky. I loved being UP. I could see my neighborhood in areal view. The houses, yards, kids running to school…
But, now that I think about it, how did I know what a house look like from above? Or a yard or a tree, or even a person?  How was I seeing kid’s crooked parts and  men’s bald spots. Why did I see my neighborhood like an early version of map quest?  I had not been in an airplane at that time. I had never been in an air balloon. It was way before Google Earth. I never saw a picture of an areal view before. So, how did I know to see things from an UP perspective?
Maybe when I dreamed that I was flying…I really was.
That’s not so totally out of the question,  is it?

I believe we all have an inner knowing.
Some may call it cell-memory, some call it reincarnation.
I choose to believe that our spirit, that energy that makes us who we really are, comes and goes, using our body as a resting place…a home to relax in and reflect… to teach our minds a higher perspective. (Chapt.3, Pg.15).
Did you know that it is scientifically proven that our heart gives information to the brain, NOT the other way around?  (re: the HeartMind institute)
So where do we get that information?  How do we gather the wisdom we have accumulated?
Could it be that we already have the wisdom of Jesus, the knowledge of Gandhi, the compassion of Mother Theresa…already embedded in our soul?  We just have to recognize and remember it? I think young children do remember, (Chapt.16, Pg.122), but as we grow older the business of life makes us forget. Or maybe, the rules and judgments that our parents believe lead us away from the Truth.
It doesn’t have to be this hard.
If we are quiet…take time to breathe in the understanding…we will remember…we will know the Truth. (Chapt.12, Pg.85) We have the wisdom of the ages available to us. We have been given the gift of discernment, such a powerful tool.
So, why don’t we use it?
You’ve heard the saying “Use it, or lose it.”…right?
Well, it’s true. If we don’t use the gifts God has given us, we might as well throw them away.

So, now that I think (and write) about it…I believe I really could fly as a kid, and I still can.
My spirit soars when I let it. (Chapt.24, Pg.193)
And how about you?
Did you fly as a child?
Could you see in areal view?
We’re you gathering information, while being UP, that you have forgotten today?  (Chapt.16, Pg.118)
Were you the one flying in those dreams, or did you watch yourself fly? (that’s another blog, for another day).
Do you still dream of flying? 
Can you still let your spirit soar?
Will you remember your inner knowing and what it is trying to say?
If not, perhaps you need to be quiet, and breathe, and remember.
Because…you already know.
