Darling Beloved Gorgeous Magnificent Community,
We are gathered here today, scattered to the far corners of this sweet earth (which ironically has no corners because it’s ROUND), to honor the gift of our existence, the radiant brilliance of the world around and within us… to delight and suffer through every moment of life! The Rapture!
Oh, I have a little tip for you!
To make your existence more and more excellent, find exactly the right hair products!
You think I’m joking?
I’m not!
Even if you are completely bald (not naming names…), you can shine up that dome to sparkling perfection and increase your daily joy ten-fold!
Even if you have a buzz cut (not naming names…), you can add a little coconut oil to that fuzzball and increase your daily delight in spades!
Even if you have long, luxurious blond hair with glowing waves that catch the sun just so (not naming names, cause I don’t know any of your names…), and every woman you know hates you for your glorious locks… you can shave it off inviting more feminine love and simplifying your daily routine thereby giving you more and more time and energy to ride go-karts without getting that mop tangled in the fan belt.
Really… the right hair is the key to infinite happiness.
Go-karts help too.

Don’t you love when every day is like a Bikram Yoga class?
We go to hot springs, saunas, have scalding hot showers… then the weather gives us the heat we seek, turning our cars into our own private saunas and we whine about it.
Not me. I’m LOVING IT!!!
Here’s my suggested spiritual practice for the rest of the summer: sweat.
What? You think that’s not a practice? Think of the magic, the mysterious alchemy, the genius of this divine plan! Our bodies are so wise! And slippery!
Each morning, set an intention to LOVE the sweat.
Every evening, give heartfelt thanks for the sweat.
Whenever it occurs to you to curse the heat, take a nice refreshing sip of lemonade (or if you don’t like lemonade, turn it into lemons) and sing a sweaty song unto the Lord and Lady! Praise Jesus and Alleluia for sweat glands! Hare Krishna and Jai Ram for the power of the scorching Sun!
Three cheers for the light, the heat and the excellent excuse to drink margaritas!
Hey, I just found out the Chocolate Café in Old Town Fort Collins is air conditioned. Chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate soufflé, chocolate martinis! That’ll send your summertime blues running for the burning hills. For some reason, I’ve never seen any men in there. Why don’t men like chocolate?
Love and cheery sunlight to all!
