        No comment? You are either totally happy and satisfied, or too busy to see, really see what is missing and would not have to be missing…Give us your thoughts, disagree…suggest a better way, a new way…

        There is so much more to share but if it were not for people like Kathabela Wilson, Maja Trochimczyk, Elsa Frausto, etc (please, at least in your mind and/or here, mention others as well) we would not even know what beautiful things are going on around us. Isn’t it often true that we are too busy to live and that life is that which passes by while we are “doing something else”? I am one of those, unfortunately. Once in a while a good friend shakes me and I open my (inner) eyes (sounds like Snow White and her Prince, only a bit older version) and wake up to glorious things around me (exactly the part that has been passing by for a long, long time). How about a change. After all, this is our new 2015! Loving you all, Mira M.
