Oh my. That looks like a California beach but what do I know? (apart from you labeled the post with California!). Where is that? I might be there in a couple of weeks!

Looks like CA to me, maybe around LA? Those mountains in the background look like the ones north of LA.

I'm going to be there in a couple of weeks. I can't wait...

Can you tell I'm exited?

Nice pic, Keera. :)

In northern Ohio, US it is 70 on the last day of February. The crocuses are already up and I've seen hints of daffodils. In Trinidad, CA, where I lived for ten years it was 39 this morning and they are forecasting snow. The world is going crazy.

Tom, well done! It's Venice Beach looking towards Santa Monica and her mountains.

Paula, thanks! Is it freezing like it did last year? Because that was very strange! Of course, a heatwave at Christmas is strange, too.

Elyrest, we're headed for an earlyish spring in Norway, too. The snow's almost gone in our mountains which is way too soon.

Alice and Jono, say hi to Tom when you meet him on the warm, sunny beach! I have to stay put for a bit. :-)

It's another four days until I'm back in CA. Wish I could take back the "exited" comment and replace it with "excited"!

I've seen the weather forecast so it looks as though CA is as cold as the UK for the time being but that's nice - good beaches without the sun-worshiping surfer dudes. I'm fine with that!

In the meantime I'm just loving the English countryside but am hoping to take a picture or two of the California coast in flower season next week!

Hope you had a great time in CA, Keera!

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
