Magical Moment 367, "Do You Believe in Signs?"

Lately I've been searching for a sign. Something that clearly shows me what I'm supposed to do next in life. Questions are gathering over my head, waiting for me to make a decision. So I've been looking at signs, and they've given me some pretty good advice...

...Before you speak
...Have a cup of coffee with an old friend instead
...Go for a walk
...A polite "excuse me" goes a long way
...You never know when your sky could fall
...Of course I believe in this one! Is this a sign I should move to Grimes, PA?

I'm not sure I've found the definitive one yet, however. I'm looking for something that roughly says, "Hey you, piano girl! Take this job, move to this apartment, go to this school (or don't go), and if you do this, this, and this, you'll be a successful musician, performer, and songwriter." Too much to ask for? I guess I'll just have to search my own heart and mind. Thankfully though, I have some guidance which I've found to be a great comfort:

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go: I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8

Too true... He is indeed the one who knows us best, and therefore guides us best!

What happens when you look back and realize the sign for the road you're on said, "Wrong Way?" Just asking? :)

Dropping by from Paul's place...for sure a lovely blog.
Sometimes it's the journey that gets you there and remember no one learned to walk without standing up and falling down only to get up again.

I'm sure you will be where you are needed

Magical Moment 620, "Lilac Garden"

Eddie and I visited the Lilac Gardens at Ringwood Manor in New Jersey, a pristine and beautiful state park with 8 species of lilacs and several varieties within. We went on a rainy afternoon, which turned out perfect because the rain stopped for us when we got there, and began again as soon as we left. It also decorated the plants with gorgeous rain drops, adding to their beauty.  And now for a quick game of "Where's Elizabeth?" And "Where's Eddie?" ~~Have a great weekend! ~~

Magical Moment 625, "Thailand - the Elephants"

Needless to say, my favorite part of our Thailand vacation, was our week long volunteering at  Elephant Nature Park ! The logging industry was banned in Thailand in 1989, leaving thousands of elephants unemployed. These elephants are now used for tourism. You may have heard of elephant shows featuring the animals playing soccer or painting pictures with their trunks. They are no doubt amazing to watch, but the sad truth is that these elephants have gone through a series of torture and abuse to "break their spirit" by their trainers. This short clip is very hard to watch, but it will give you an idea of what the elephants in captivity in the country of Thailand go through. The only elephants in Thailand who do  not  endure this, are the very few baby elephants who are first generation born in "safe captivity" at places like Elephant Nature Park. Every other elephant at this park has been brutally abused. Some have been blinded by their owners, le

Magical Moment 606, "Thank You Canada!"

After an intense week as a participant in the  Musician's Mentorship Program  with Canada's National Ballet School in Toronto, I am back in the good ol' US of A. The trip was a success, not only did I learn a TON in the program, but I got to see Canada for the first time, increasing my number of countries visited to 3! (Mexico and South Korea, if you're wondering about the other 2). I was surrounded by incredibly talented musicians who didn't hesitate to dish out their best advice, tips, and secrets to me. In addition, I was surrounded by some beautiful scenery and amazing sights. The trip got even better when Eddie flew out to meet me half way through the week, and even BETTER when I was able to meet up with a friend, known only through the blogosphere until now. Yes ladies and gentlemen,  Hilary of The Smitten Image  herself happens to live only minutes from where I resided in Toronto. I admit, it was a little like meeting a celebrity. I first "met" Hi
