What’s It All About?

by Shea Bell January 21, 2019

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.

A Remarkable Year

by Shea Bell January 1, 2019

For most of us every year is remarkable in some way, but for me, 2018 was particularly golden.

Some days I stayed in bed or lounged in my PJ’s til bath time and then was back to bed early. Sometimes I walked to the beach and tossed rocks into the ocean.

But mostly I stepped thoughtfully into each day, without guilt, motivated from the inside out to find the magic key that would move my life forward. The slower I moved,  the more the magic appeared. Looking back I’m grateful to so many for the progress, leading me through the tangles, and helping me unravel and release a lot of old stuff.

To look back on 2018 and realize just how far I’ve come is explained by the amount of time I spent quietly letting answers drop in. There’s a lot of rebuilding to undertake before one can leave the cocoon.

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.

Miss Emilia checked me into the Hotel Delight as t Miss Emilia checked me into the Hotel Delight as their guest. I provided my full name , birthdate, phone number and a list of my allergies.  She asked the porter to take me to my room, but before, she set up a direct communication system on Messenger in case I needed anything.  First order of the day were spa services, including massage, manicure,  and facial.  They each received a handsome tip for their care and attention.  I will definitely stay there again and recommend the hotel Delight to all my friends. #hotel #creativeplay #hilarious #lucky
