Autumn Leaves
AS I DROVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS yesterday with the perfect blue sky that only autumn can bring and the sun that kissed the tops of the trees as my travel companions something caught my eye.
SPRINKLED AMID THE ROLLING waves of green were little flecks of a bright, burning red – the first of the autumn leaves, the scouts for the coming invasion. Soon the mountains will be awash in gorgeous waves of red and orange.
THE STUNNING DISPLAY happens in the blink of the eye. One moment the landscape is green, the next it’s ablaze. It seemingly comes out of nowhere. You turn away for one moment and the scenery has entirely changed.
THE MIRACULOUS SHIFT isn’t the spontaneous event that it seems. The leaves slowly turn, leaf by leaf, tree by tree and we are oblivious to the change until we are presented with the newly transformed vista. We are busy, distracted by the ins and outs of our daily lives. We rarely notice all the changes in the world around us. It all just slips by and we sit, unaware.
WE AWAKE ONE DAY to find that spring has passed, summer has drawn to a close, autumn is upon us and winter is close behind. There is nothing we can do to halt the process, to slow it down, to reverse it so we can change, so we can take the time to observe, to be aware, to be truly conscious in the moment as we move through the world. It slips through our fingers and by the time we try to grab it, to hold on, it is done.
SO MAYBE YOU’LL JOIN ME today in the taking of moments. We can meet in the pauses between breathes and be. Here. Now. And not allow autumn to pass unobserved into winter.
Kisses & Chaos,

Billy Idol Wants To Change Your Life
IT’S A LITTLE KNOW fact that Billy Idol, punk rock pioneer and rock n’ roll heartthrob wants to change your life for the better…one song lyric at a time. It’s true.
Billy Idol wants to change your life.
NESTLED INSIDE the lyrics of his songs are beautiful, shining nuggets of joy and wisdom. Simple and to the point, Idol proves to be shockingly insightful, positive and reassuring. So jot these down on a post-it and stick ‘em in your bathroom or throw ‘em in your purse to have these verbal pick me ups at your beck and call…and be sure to rock ‘em in true Idol spirit with a curl of the lip and one fist thrust in the air…
10 Billy Idol Lyrics You Should Be Using As Mantras
1. “It’s a nice day to start again…” – White Wedding.
2. “If I had the chance, I’d ask the world to dance…” – Dancing with Myself.
3. “…There’s nothing sure in this world…” – White Wedding
4. “…I wanna be what I wanna be…I’m gonna have what I can see…” – All Summer Single
5. “The idea of fate it’s all in the mind…We are the ones who control our own time” – Too Personal
6. “I have the time so I will sing…” – Catch My Fall
7. “Cradle me in the light, Bathe me in a rainbow…” – Mother Dawn
8. “If you got the legs boy, come on let’s walk…” – One Night, One Chance
9. “Time to dance to the top…” – Romeo’s Waiting
10. “Transform with inner guidance, To a place of peace and paradise…Relax let your thoughts drift away…Live in belief and harmony” – Shangrila
THERE YOU have it…positive life-affirming mantras straight from the mouth of punk’s pretty boy. Who woulda thunk it…
