What’s It All About?

What’s It All About, Alfie. Thank you Larry David, Burt Bacharach and Cilla Black

1966

As only a passionate 12 year old girl can, I sat at the piano playing Alfie over and over, hot tears splashing down onto the keys, wondering why I was so darn miserable. I had no idea what life was all about, but I longed to know and I could feel something big ahead.

Little did I realize it would be decades before I started to figure it out, or just how much living had to be accomplished before it all started to make sense.

MEET SHEA

Author
If I was going to describe myself in one word, I would say creative. I love to write poetry and stories, garden, bead, draw, and study spiritual philosophy. If I keep these in my life, my inner artist and the seeker in me just hum. Only my kids and grandkids fill my heart more, and for that, there are really no words.

We enjoyed their colourful language as they took the plunge.  Then the spit was crowded with shore birds just waiting for an audience, and did not disappoint. Very chubby, sandpipers? Hot soup followed. #sandpipers #intrepid
