THE STORY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN

Hello Everyone~

"Hello Gorgeous!" is about to become the non-fiction STORY
it was originally meant to be...

SO now... "Hello Gorgeous!" will become:
the blog... that thinks it's a book.

It will be a fantasy style Companion Guide
that illustrates the 4 Worlds
that are the Heart and Soul philosophy of "Hello Gorgeous!":

Aliveness...The Beauty of Individuality...
Something of Your Own to Love...
and Togetherness.

Stay tuned for the unfolding...

New changes to come~

SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN TO LOVE

My Grandmother's Hands-

She is Ninety Eight years old and still madly in love with life.

Grandma Jeannie ALWAYS loved her jewelry and flowers.

She is famous for both... and they faithfully remain by her side.

ALIVENESS

Here's a few words for you from one of my favorite books:
"Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D

"If we were to name only one thing
that makes the Wild Woman what she is,
it would be her responsiveness.
The word response comes from
the Latin "to pledge, to promise" ~
and that is her strong suit.
Her perceptive and deft responses
are a consistent promise and pledge
to the creative forces, be it Duende,
the goblin-spirit behind passion,
or Beauty, Art, or the Dance, or Life.
Her promise to us, if we will not thwart it,
is that she will cause us to live.
She will cause us to live fully alive,
responsively and consistently so."

THE BEAUTY OF INDIVIDUALITY

It's Almost Grandma Jeannie's 98th Birthday !

Well it's almost that time again-
Our very own Grandma Jeannie will be 98 years old on April 18th !
Less than a month away...
I have been observing her and
helping to take care of her for the past few years.
It has been a wonderful and life changing experience for me-
Such a gift to see that "The Human Spirit is Alive and Well."
Grandma can't walk anymore but she still dances.
That's right, dances, right there in her bed!
She'll shake and shimmy her shoulders
and sing to you all at the same time.
She lights up and glows-
I love to see Grandma "Shake, Shimmy and Shimmer."
It's such a beautiful sight.

She also gets around by blowing you a bunch of kisses.
They fly through the air and land in all the right places.

One of the most heart warming things about my Grandmother
is the way she so freely says "I LOVE YOU BABY!"
She says it with all her heart.
And she is forever saying "Thank You"
for everything you do on her behalf.

I honestly believe it's the love and power behind her
I love yous and thank yous
that keep her so alive and well...

Last night I asked her a few "Life Story" questions-
My favorite one was this:
Grandma, what would you like to say to everyone?
She smiled as big as she possible could, took a deep breath and said:
"TELL 'EM I LOVE "EM!"

Love to you from Grandma and Me oxoxoxox

Women Who Run With The Wolves

Here's a few words for you from one of my favorite books,
"Women Who Run With The Wolves"
by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D


" The time with Wild Woman is hard at first.
To repair injured instinct, banish naivete,
and over time to learn
the deepest aspects of psyche and soul,
to hold on to what we have learned,
to not turn away, to speak out for what we stand for . . .
all this takes a boundless and mystical endurance.

When we come up out of the underworld
after one of our undertakings there,
we may appear unchanged outwardly,
but inwardly we have reclaimed a vast and womanly wildness.

On the surface we are still friendly,
but beneath the skin,
we are most definitely no longer tame. "

Let Nature Take Care of You

Hello My Little Darlings!

This is Doctor Gorgeous and I just dropped by
to say that Mama Nature is all around...
She loves you and wants you to be happy.
Let her surround you today with beauty and tranquility.
Look up and sky gaze, listen to the music of the birds
and the wind breezing through the trees.
Go pick a few flowers. Take a gentle walk-
Breathe... Let it all in and relax. Life is good.
