Dear Community,
The summer flurry is starting early. Are you ready? Sunscreen? Flip-flops? REALLY BIG hats? I learned early on (like when I was 22) that if you’re in the sunshine smiling a lot, your wrinkles turn white! Awesome!

This week I learned a trick. Pick out your clothes and THEN go get a pedicure so you can choose nail polish that matches your outfit. You’ve got to accessorize, dontcha know.
Also… my super smart children informed me that our ears are in alignment with our nipples. I actually don’t believe this to be true… but that’s what teenagers believe… so… I guess I’m dumb.
Plus… I learned at least… oh… maybe… 8 new songs from Sharon and Mary Ellen (the chant retreat co-facilitators). It’s gonna be SO awesome!
And… moreover… I learned that while Darth Vader is on the Death Star supposedly contemplating evil and destruction, he’s actually just watching baseball. Who knew? I bet Yoda’s doing the same. You think he’s meditating on that swampy log, but really he’s fixated on the boob-tube.
RSVP for women’s shindigs by calling or e-mailing me. You could try calling or e-mailing each other… but things get convoluted, confused and misconstrued so easily.
If you need suggestions for how to celebrate Beltane (a.k.a. May Day):
1. grow flowers
2. braid ribbons into your hair (or beard, if you’re lucky enough to have one)
3. take your super-sexy lover out into the garden and…. you know…
Happy Beltane!
