Laundry. Don’t do it. Or risk your whites coming out another color.

After 40 years of flying between France California I should know what not to do when jet lag.

I made a ding dong mistake at 3 am  I decided to do laundry.

Something dark blue found its way into the wash, and my whites came out.. pale blue. Not the chic French kind of pale blue. Just the “jet-lagged laundry” kind.

That we almost miss: morning light across the kitchen table, a familiar voice on the phone, flowers gathered from the garden, clouds moving across the sky, a friend who knows when to listen.

I’ve come to believe that a beautiful life isn’t made from extraordinary moments but from noticing the everyday ones.

Beauty is here, waiting for our attention. Perhaps the real art of living is simply being aware, and sharing it.

What are some of your favorite quotes, sayings, lyrics, prayers, passages …

My brothers, nephews and my son, on an Amaro boys weekend.

My Godmother from years ago.

Sacred silence holy ocean
Gentle water washing over me
Help me listen Holy Spirit
Come and speak to me
Holy Spirit sanctifying me
Lord have mercy and please forgive me
Come and set me free

Sacred stillness deep still waters
Calm the raging storms within my soul
And clear the waters of confusion
At pure and peaceful waters flow
