Prune Danish

Everyday I am reminded of how important the small moments and connections are to feeling heavenly. And family. So why Prune Danish? I live in Cary NC a beautiful city with flowers on the side of the road, lots of Chinese restaurants, ethnicity, art flicks, and lot’s of families.

This summer has been filled with lots of company and family at our house including my parents, Herb age 90 and Gloria age 84. It was truly a blessing spending 5 weeks with them. I am 55 and I hope everyone can have the experience of spending time with the parents later in life.

Anyway my dad loves bagels every morning with his coffee for breakfast. He is a carboholic. One precious Sunday morning I visited our local NY Bagel store once again to buy a few of those delectable bread treats. As I approach the counter of this very busy establishment, ready to pick out the dozen bagels my breath is taken away and I gasp. In the counter amongst all the beautiful Sunday morning sweets is Prune Danish. Do you have any idea how happy my dad, a 90 year old Jewish man from NY would be with a Prune Danish? Well let me tell you, very!

It is not just any Danish it is a tradition. Its sweet, has memory of the old days and it helps, its friendly medicine. I was thrilled and full of joy with the thought of getting this for him. When it was my turn to order and be helped I could not control myself. I started with the Danish. I even almost forgot the bagels. The owner of the store was actually the one to help me. You should have seen her face when I told her about my dad and the Danish. She beamed from ear to ear.

Ain’t life grand? Just think about it. Prune Danish brought so much pleasure into so many lives. Heaven is that tickle, beam of light, that shooting star, and a Prune Danish.

Bye for now,

Mama Gena’s

This next blog has been really difficult to get started. Finding heaven on earth and sharing that experience has been quite the challenge. To tell you the truth I have been avoiding it like the plague. That is enough writing for one day. Whew! I feel like I could jump out of my skin with this alone.

So here I am again, another day, probably about a week after the previous paragraph I find myself sitting in Barnes and Noble. Mark and I came in and immediately went to the cafe. I made a bold statement. If I could find an electrical outlet for my computer I would write and if I could not find a table with an outlet I would read. I walked around and around, table by table, and of course no outlet. I knew inside however that I was supposed to have one by golly. I was supposed to write. After several attempts around, we preceded to another section “the big chairs”. Low and behold in the corner of the store was the perfect spot to read or write. Two cushiony chairs together. One for me and one for Mark. I am set to write. I have no choice this time. I have to no matter what do these blogs.

A thought comes to me, what makes me think that my experiences for heaven on earth could be yours? What makes me think that these experiences I am actually having and looking for, this place on earth would be the same for you as it is for me? Is this discovery for my eyes only?

I don’t think so, the more of heaven I discover the more giggles I feel, the stronger I become both as a coach and a follower of ReEnchant Planet Earth (cause it does have its own life force), the wiser I become, the more fearless I am, the more I connect with nature, and the more intimate I became, the more I know that these are meant to be shared. We are each responsible for the outcry for such possibilities.

I know as you do that being bodacious, joyful, honest, and a great explorer and life adventurer attracts more of the same. People love to be around that, feel it, and enjoy it for themselves as well. It’s contagious.

My real problem with writing these blogs is what do I write about. The moments are so profound and numerous, and in the moment, that I am having difficulty transporting them here.

So I am just informing you that what I guess I have to do is write bits and pieces of these experiences often. That is the only sane way for me to define them and get them out. So check back often and travel with me and please share yours. Let’s share them with as many people as possible. That is my commitment. Commit with me. The more we share our experiences with heaven on earth, the more heaven on earth there will be.

I started reading probably one of the most luscious books. I would say that I am someone that was born with a positive attidude/persoanality. The work I am doing, discovering that heaven is on earth. really enhances my overall feelings greatly. It allows me to gallop through and see the realty of what I know pretty fast for that matter.

The book, “Mama Genas’s School of Womanly Arts’ by Regena Thomashauer has been a trip. Creating an appetite of passion, pleasure, joy, and intimacy is right up my ally. This book focuses on women and their appetite for desire. Opened up the flood gates for my pleasures I can tell you. And I say, can you only imagine a world where both men and women desire pleasure and fun and are not afraid to show it. I am talking about heavenly fun.

I know we can. Since I began reading this book, 30 pages only, things/life looks very different to me. Everyone should read this book and savior it like the yummiest pieces of chocolate.

I have decided to run for public office. Funny huh? It is really cracking me up. But I am serious. My problem is I don’t like offices especially public ones. And my other issue is I don’t know which one I would run for or want. I don’t have any specific one in mind. What I do know is that if you get enough people behind you, you can create your own office. I say make it up and build a network of supporters and you can make things happen. Whose says you can’t? We the people can do anything. So that is my creation from 30 short pages. Can you only imagine what will occur when I finish the book? My telling you that desire is scary and makes me vulnerable. So what!

When allowing passion, zest, intimacy and boldness into our lives, one joins life’s magic. When we fuel our human nature to connect with the laws of nature there lies rhythm.
