Trust the RoosterbyIt was the first night of our long awaited Baja Mexico vacation. We'd had a great time in Todos Santos with Jim's brother Bill and his wife Kelly who took us to Miguel's for guacamole and nachos and then on to the famed Hotel California for a long, leisurely dinner. Now we were in bed, 10 pm Baja (Mountain) time. What appeared as a modest, casual little hotel on the web suddenly turned into a cacophony of yapping, snarling dogs serenaded by a cat in heat. Welcome to Mexico! The four-legged locals exhausted themselves around midnight and we finally got some sleep. But not for long . . . The King Kong of Roosters, who lives right behind our little hotel (and immediately on the other side of our bedroom window) decided to announce day break sometime around 3 am by setting off an elaborate call and response with two neighboring cock-a-doodle-doers. Not to be outdone, Senor Yapper Dog from the night before (who shares the same back yard behind our bedroom window) chimed in anytime the roosters took a break. We made the most of it all . . . laughing, teasing, and even singing a Doo-Wop duet we're perfecting of "What's Your Name?" (. . . Is it Mary or Sue? Do I stand a chance with you?) If you're under 50 you may never have heard the song but we are huge fans of Doo Wop.. Blessedly, every so often sleep was more demanding than the backyard quartet so neither of us suffered the next day. BUT at some point while Judith was lying awake contemplating two more nights there (that was Tuesday and we were scheduled to be back there Friday and Saturday nights as well) she not only jumped to the fact that under no uncertain terms would we return to that "charming" little hotel but other parts of the trip could also be changed to make it more comfortable and fun for us. So the next morning we visited the Hacienda at Todos Los Santos and reserved a lovely private casita for Saturday night and then, upon arrival in La Paz, booked that hotel for Friday night thereby breaking up our return drive from Mulege. It was all now perfect! Why and how? Trust the Rooster! Because "the rooster" that appears to be wrecking everything . . . whatever form that rooster may take in your life . . . is always opening the door for you to rethink what you are doing, where you are going . . . what you want from life. So Trust the Rooster and bust yourself loose from whatever you thought was right and good and allow the frustration, the upheaval to show you a new, easier, larger way to approach your life.

What have you done for love?Are you like many men and women -- single or married -- who twist and turn themselves inside out trying to match what they think love is SUPPOSED TO BE? That great SUPPOSED TO BE -- that's supposed to exist out there somewhere - that everybody chases but no one seems to find. That great SUPPOSED TO BE -- that's supposed to bring you happiness for a lifetime - but causes too many men and women to end up whispering - "Is this all there is?" That great SUPPOSED TO BE -- that you know - you just know - that if you ever got it - everything would be okay. You tell yourself that's what you really believe . . . REALLY . . . Except . . . in the shadows of the night . . . When you wonder if that's all just an illusion . . . a story you tell yourself to get by. Is love supposed to be so complicated?That's what soap operas sell. Complexity. Drama. Intrigue. Tension. The more twists and turns the better . . . Sadly that's what many men and women believe love is and should be. They live their lives as soap operas and, just like in the soaps, love is usually the source of most of their pain. Is that how it is for you? Is your experience of love a gnarly maze of feelings and thoughts, held together by hopes and wishes? Or is love something other people have but not you? "I'm in a pretty good marriage," you say, "and this all sounds so extreme." Sure, it may sound that way to you . . . But what about those moments when you and your partner crash into blind spots . . . Out in the wilderness of your relationship where you haven't got things worked out yet . . . Something you haven't been paying attention to erupts. Like a volcano. And you're left with a tangled mess you need to unravel. Order LOVE MADE SIMPLE |
