It's the afternoon salon I can attend in my yoga clothes! You create wonder, introspection, connection. I like it! Dear Jane,
I’m drawn to your site by succinct and lyrical writing, meaningful commentary on significant topics, and a feeling of comararderie between like minds who’ve never met. It’s the afternoon salon I can attend in my yoga clothes! You create wonder, introspection, connection. I like it!

I wish the rest of the world would follow their passions and live life . Frustrating that people are working SO hard to get money and that is all that they do. In the long run they never have time to "enjoy" that money. Rediculous. Life is too short. If we followed our hearts more people would be happy, less road rage, less failed relationships, etc. I worked in a high end salon in Southern California for 7yrs. I miss it, the smell and making people happy and feel beautiful! On the other hand I don't miss people being so self absorb and the fact that I myself got sucked into a lifestyle that wasn't me. Wearing clothes that I couldn't afford and became someone that wasn't me. After moving it feels good to be back to me so to speak. Not worrying what I look like every single day. Wearing clothes that I can't afford, etc. At the same time the salon still runs through my veins. I wish people would just treat people as individuals instead of worrying about the corporate ladder. Success isn't in the wallet. Enjoy your passion. Great post. I wish the rest of the world would follow their passions and live life .

If they were I'd have been kicked off months ago! It's the spirit that counts here,and yours shines! Linda, thanks for the laugh! YOu can edit my mail anytime! Elf, I'm always shocked by those CEO numbers. How many millions does anybody need? In one lifetime? Some have enough for twenty lifetimes over, and I always think what's the point? At some time doesn't it just become redundant? Dee, no one is worried about your typos, LOL! If they were I’d have been kicked off months ago! It’s the spirit that counts here,and yours shines!

I so much wanted to address that post, but since J. removed it, I figured she didn't want me to defend her, and by way of that, all the working class artists, writers, and well, just people who don't feel that what they do for money is the end all, be all of who they are! As far as politics I remain torn. I may not decide until the day I vote! Still, I like to read all the opinions out there and take a little of something from each. You're right, this is a time when we need to sing out....even if some of us, like me, haven't quite chosen a song. Oh thank God you said it, Dee, and so much nicer than I would have!

I romanticized the idea you traveled and wrote story's/books/articles. I had an imagine of you sitting in a special place like a cabin, something pretty simple but being surrounded by mother nature at her best. I am thrilled to hear that this isn't the case (unless you want to live your life that way). I think it's wonderful that you have a "normal" job. That you deal in the real world of people.... everyday you deal with people from all walks of life and I bet you can find a story in each one of them. Hell, I applied for a post office job last year to help make ends meet. There was something very appealing about doing something orderly, and necessary, without having to make life affecting decisions. ***Rant On**** I know the comment was removed, but it really mad me angry. Who is to say someone's intelligence, talents, compassion, understanding, caring HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THEY DO FOR A LIVING. It would be wonderful if we all had the luxury... What I admire most about Jane is she has not given up on her passion. She continues to write and write well. She has a way with words that provokes thought and a deeper understanding.... not many people can do that. So the next you greet your mail handler, waiter, UPS delivery, truck driver, do not judge. Some of the people are the happiest, well rounded, talented indivisuals. Who the hell are you to judge? And as far as politics.... our government is based on WE THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. I don't remember anything in there saying a class, gender, age, ability having anything to do with voting, speaking or speaking of freedom. If that were the case then how the hell did GWB get the job? ****Rant Off**** I was brought up to keep our political choices to yourself, that voting was a personal decision. I'm not sure if that is the best approach.... If there ever was a time it's now... everyone need to 'sing out"! Aloha Jane,
