All of us have vampires in our lives, people who suck our energy. Sometimes these vampires are very clever about stealing our energy before we even know it. Usually where there are strong obligations, there are strong vampires. The “what I must do” is often bullied by a strong vampire making sure that is so.
We are all asked to do things we don’t like to do, at work and in life. We’re also put in situations to deal with people we prefer not to be around. It is our nature to go to war. We are not trained to be luvvers. It is only in our essence, which must be developed, that we learn to luvv what we don’t like. 
My nephew recently said he wished he could bottle up my outlook on life and have it at his disposal when he needed it. So do I! I wish it was that easy. It made me think about what I do to keep that energy flowing through me.
Lulu says hello. Lulu passed away and left her body. Her spirit lives on.
Something’s strange in the neighborhood. Who ya gonna call–Ghostbusters? 
Ride the roller coaster of change.
Never before have I been more aware of the importance of developing trust. Yet, it’s scary how easy it is to get stuck in patterns that don’t work: neurotic fretting, rigidity, skepticism and depression. People recognize that they can’t trust the government, the federal reserve, their employer or even their family to keep things the same, safe and secure. No one is exempt. Everything is changing. The individual within each of us is being called forward. What will we individually do to rise to the levels of change that are all around? 
I am moved by the awareness that greatness is a showcase that embraces us all, if we will receive it. At a time when the winter Olympics show athletes pushing, challenging and disciplining themselves to strive for greatness, I see that one demonstration can lift a whole city, or country or the world. Such is the case with speed skater Apollo Ohno, and also my cousin’s daughter, Mackie, who received the “oscar” for Junior Equestrian of the Year.
