When you think about it certain patterns repeat to create the world. And so in our lives – maybe habits, maybe our pet thoughts, our silly little games. Our dreams and fascinations that visit us on a regular basis, kissing us to wake up to the potential of life.

It is the same with love. Certain stories create a fascinating, mysterious and endearing image that refuse to go away. What are these popular and powerful images when it comes to love? Here is my list, fairly random:

Linda Franklin

Linda Franklin

She has written “the book” on Real Cougar Woman, appeared on shows and featured by The New York Times. She goes by the name of Real Cougar Woman on Twitter. When you probe deeper, she is an interesting person, full of insights and has given a whole new spin to the term “Cougar”  – not just someone on the prowl but a redefined new meaning for women. Its about self-discovery, making choices and being independent. The best about Linda is she is real, classy and authentic and speaks from experience. Her energy, compassion and awareness sparkles as she approaches a subject she is passionate about.

The web has been inundated with Tiger Woods news. Its all over the place with unending revelations to jokes. Some say its par for the course that a powerful and attractive person has an unusual sex drive. And appetite.

Woods is a childhood hero for many people my age – achieving super-ordinary feets in a difficult sport. I believe that he can fight back and redeem himself. Here is my two cent advice on what to do about his problem, addressed to him:

The two best things in life are fast cars and pretty women. Well almost. And sometimes through a funny twist of fate, they come together in an amazing way. No, I am not talking about Danica Patrick. Someone who has an even more rare talent. Yes, that’s true. And  because I am a “word” person, here is a talent, even more precious! Meet Victoria Reid or VMR, as she is more popularly known, (for that BMW or VROOOMM impact!). She writes a blog called On Any Sunday These Days that covers racing from a unique perspective. More recently she can also be seen as a Contributing Editor of the hugely popular Foruma 1 One Blog (www.formula1blog.com).

VMR has a ‘racy’ writing style and brings all the excitement of a race weekend to her writing. Her genuine love for the sport and phenomenal knowledge reflects in her writings. Add to that her dry wit and command with the language and you get the perfect package! A truly rare talent with a personality to match.

I am just so happy to present this interview and for many reasons! Firstly, it has taken me more than a couple of months to put together .. that’s when I first touched base with Marcomé. She replied immediately, expressed her interested and indicated what would be a good time. We chatted some more in the interim period. I found it amazing that she knew exactly when she would like to do the interview and so prompt about it!

Of course, the main reason I like this interview is because I am honored to present a talented and inspiring artist with a rare gift. Marcomé’s music is uplifting – each song is special and unique, touching in its own way, her inspirations are many and varied reflecting a true love of life – ranging from nature, water, earth, her travels, and the people she has met. I would urge you to read the interview and to spread it to everyone you know because everyone needs that special touch of inspiration.

At the beginning of 2010, I have started to think about how my blog can do more. How can I cover more people, reach out to more people and come close to many more interesting people. How many writing can make people feel good and empowered and nice, warm and fuzzy.

Without having any overly ambitious ideas, a simple thing I can do is to present interviews with a variety of people. Its always inspiring to talk to people when they talk about what they are passionate about. Whether they are releasing an album, making a new piece of artwork or designing artisan jewelry, it is hard to not see the passion and involvement.

I have been on the brink for a while. On the edge, near the end. Wondering, looking, hoping.

This blog has given me something to look forward to. Great people to meet. A passion to devote myself. Every day, I have been inspired, I have learnt and I have gathered the courage to move on.

To share the love, I have made this calendar it contains 100+ quotes from artists, musicians and all the amazing people I have met on my blog and from my writings on my blog.

I wanted to make something that was inspiring and usable so I added the calendar to the inspiring quotes.

There is a price of $9 to support my dream and passion of blogging.

How to make love like an alien

The movie Avatar made me think about love. Again. And in a different way.

Just for fun I did some thinking. Just how do two humans love each other? What would be different if you were to love an alien? What an intriguing thought!

Here are my notes. Of course, I don’t speak for everyone!

How humans love each other:

- Often think of it as a conquest.
- Want to physically possess, own, believe they belong to each other.
- Measure love by how much they are into each other.
- Attracted by physical form, at least at first.
- Feel jealous.
- Play games to see who won or lost.
- Wonder how long it will last. Want it to last. Fear it might not.
- Cling when they fear they are losing it.

How we might love an alien:

- Intrigued by a different physical form, want connection at another level.
- Wonder if he/she has same emotions.
- Wonder how long her memory is – will she remember?
- Does she understand poetry?
- Who is stronger? Who is more tender?
- Doesn’t matter if you win or lose.
- If you could do it only once, this will be it.
- Is she an animal (what’s the lust level) or more divine (connection at soul level)?
- Will love making be savage and painful or tender and sensitive?
- Will it last? At all? Do you care?
- Will you think of it ever again?

What a contrast. I have made up my mind. I am looking for an alien. And you?

Q&A WITH TRICIA GREAVES

What are some things you are passionate about.
My passion is helping people heal from emotional eating. Having been 50 lbs overweight, I know the pain and humiliation of not being able to control my weight and food intake. It is such a secretive, shameful, degrading experience. And all the quick fixes that exist don’t actually fix anything! So I need and want people to know that there is a true solution…a way by which they can actually heal the underlying causes of their erratic eating behavior. It’s so exciting to see people heal and no longer fight food.

Fitness for 2010: Meet Susie Shina

Susie Shina - "reluctant fitness trainer"

Susie Shina

You describe yourself as a “reluctant” fitness expert. What does that mean?
I admittedly hate working out and eating right… I ONLY do it because I love the way I look and feel when I eat well and exercise. Truth be told, I’d rather be relaxing on the couch with a pizza and a giant glass of wine. (ha) I do believe it’s my passion for finding the easy way out that’s lead me to create sustainable programs for regular people. Life is too short to not love every minute of it… be fit enough to really enjoy everything you do.
