I woke up this morning at 5:30, then again at 6, then 6:55…you get the idea.  I’m feeling like I have nothing to rant about, nothing major happening in my life to share and a bit like I’m suffering from sensory or information overload.

With technology these days it’s possible to keep up with so many goings on in the world that the really important stuff can sometimes get crowded out or over-shadowed by the next big story.   I feel like my head is too full of sad images of kidnappings, David Carradine in a compromising position (poor guy), Madonna’s stringy, tendony arms and the firing of Miss California, Carrie Prejean.

I think today is a good day for me to turn off the computer, the TV and the car radio.  I’m not even going to listen to CDs.  The weather has been amazing lately and the gardens around town are looking pretty fresh and colourful so I think I’ll take the time to notice them and…ok, maybe I won’t actually stop and smell them!  But I’ll see them.

The Tibetan Goddess Tara is  a generic name for  a set of Buddhas who represent all aspects of femininity.   The best known ones are represented by certain colours; White Tara, Green Tara, Black, Red, Blue and Yellow.   Today I feel like channeling Red Tara.  She represents our more aggressive nature and is associated with the magnetizing of all good things.   I’m going to interpret this to mean that if I actively focus on the good stuff around me then more will be drawn to me.  The law of attraction at work again!

If you’re at a Starbucks around noon today I’ll be the one in the red dress.
