the second card was: Temperance...Calm and balance. Need to have patience for events surrounding you as they play out. Moderation. Accommodation. Reflection on your life. Maturity. Draw emotions in and stop overreacting to outside forces. Contemplation and reflection on events, relationships and work. Be the calming force in chaos. Possible to overcome addiction to substance, people or relationships. Obsession passing. Order being restored. Bring calm to mind and behavior patterns. A time of peace is beginning. Let it wash over you.

just so you know....

had my cards done today....the very first card i pulled set the tone for the rest of the reading...

"The Ace of Chalices card suggests that my power today lies in capturing the essence. My emotions are valid. I am beautiful and I deserve to pursue, share, and express unconditional love, pleasure, and happiness. I bring new love into the world. I am empowered by love and my gift is beauty in truth."

viva ayiti

this remarkable shot was created in port-au-prince, haiti, on 27 march 2010.

Associated Press photographer JORGE SAENZ took this hauntingly beautiful shot of a woman waiting for the bus, at nightfall. i dream of haiti, and my friends there, the good times we shared, the audacious resilence that grows in that soil. from PAP to petit jacmel, i cry for this beloved

land, this country that fought to be free only to be damned by circumstances, natural and political. i promise my children they will visit this country, where one of them was wished into life, and they will understand why she continues to call to me...

RESTLESS CITY...

we celebrated all things "RESTLESS CITY" and the set photographer took this lovely shot.

look for RESTLESS CITY... a film by (my husband) ANDREW DOSUNMU coming worldwide soon... for an unforgettable glimpse into the lives of the nomads who give this city her heartbeat... and her blood, sweat and tears.

a new friend (who i truly thank, profusely) sent me this just today. WOW! i like everything about this flashing chaos, especially the compliments that accompanied. thanks, my friend... amuse me...

beautiful interpretations of west african traditional clothing and ceremonial makeup.

ADORNMENT!
