Two McFlurries from the local McDonalds, what wonderful value these things are, $8.30 worth of nothing, and I bet I get no response to the email I sent regarding my customer dissatisfaction. Might be the last time this health food shop sees this fat bloke set foot in there.

Satellite antenna dish in full view - a violation of the HOA rules.
However, the over-zealous HOA's have been trumped by the US government on satellite dishes. I hope we eventually abolish HOA's totally. Most buyers don't realize just how many of their property rights they give up when moving into an HOA regulated house. Yes, they do some good but it's not worth the loss of freedom. Mostly the dues go to friends of the HOA members who do property management and/or landscaping.
Which is more important to property values? No control so homeowners can do what they please, accepting that sometimes homeowners may do something to reduce the beauty fo the neighborhood? Or tight control like a Stalinist stae where everything is highly regulated by a central committee?

“Warm, friendly and informal”
Riad Dar Najat
Two of us (women over 55) stayed for 3 nights - our first visit. We were picked up from the airport and made welcome from the moment we arrived. They had made a mistake with our booking but this was sorted out entirely to our satisfaction - and from then on, everything was great. Our room was in Black Zitoun, a riad under the same management, only a few minutes walk from Dr Najat, but we could use the communal facilities of both. The roof terrace was perfect for breakfast, for relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset in the early evening and for sitting under the stars late at night. Abdul organised tours for us: a tour by car of more distant sights, a walking tour of the souk and a whole day tour out towards the Atlas mountains. They were well worth the money - just the two of us and guide, all arranged at our pace so that we felt we saw a lot in a short time without feeling at all rushed. When we went out to things we'd arranged for ourselves, staff escorted us there and back. Tariq did that in the evening and was always cheerful, even when we sat up quite late on the roof terrace while he served us with wine. All the other staff (the only one whose name I caught was Said) were equally friendly and good humoured - an ideal place for a short break in a fascinating city!

“So often, you are so close to who you want to be, you don’t even realize it. You feel like it’s so far away and it is right there in front of you.” —Sue Bryce
I’ve been taking a lot of online photography workshops lately and am LOVING it. The one I’m currently on is about experimental portraiture by Sue Bryce and Lara Jade, and something that Sue said in an episode I recently watched has been on my mind for a few days now. She said that she had been talking with her friends about their values and her friends were surprised that photography didn’t make it onto her list until #7. Her explanation for this is that, for the style of photography that she does, the importance is in the feeling of beauty and power that she is able to give her clients by seeing a photograph of themselves that was taken once she breaks through all of their insecurities and nervousness. That’s not the type of photography I usually do, but I love and respect it tremendously. The world needs more of it.
But that begs the question: What DO I do then? What are my values? Why are those things important? How do they connect to each other?
I don’t have direct answers to all of those questions yet. But it’s a great something to sit on and daydream about. Here are some thoughts towards my values:
1—Meaningful relationships. Several months ago, doing a monthly goal setting challenge from my friend and spiritual life coach, Ivy Rose Latchford, I realized that this is one of the most important things to me in life. There is SO much in this world, but none of it matters if we don’t have meaningful relationships. With ourselves, with our friends, our families, our homes. With nature. With the universe.
2—Catharsis. I think this is what we all look for every day, and it’s what I strive to offer through all of my artwork. But also not only through my artwork, but through every word I speak, every action, for myself if not also for others. We must find it in the smallest of details. The first sip of your latte in the morning. The sun suddenly breaking through the clouds. I use specifically luxurious pens when I write in my journal because they make me feel like what I’m saying is that much more meaningful.
3—Artistic expression. This falls heavily into the catharsis category, but even for the most joyous, innocent person, I think it’s important to make art. Art is the truest pieces of our own selves that we can put out into the world and leave behind. Above our children, who are their own beings. Above photographs of important moments in our lives, because we have lived so many more days. Above all else. The art we create is the window into our souls for whoever is already out there looking for someone who understands and whomever we leave behind in this world.
adding a few more triangles... considering starting over on the layout with a different flow, but same idea. Also, I haven't been able to use my design wall for anything else for weeks!

FT. Buchanan, PR – “We are here to honor Col. Miguel A. Isaac as he takes off the uniform of military he has served for the past 35 years. Today, we say good bye to a value leader who has served with honor and distinction throughout a long and successful career, military and civilian.” said Brig. Gen. José R. Burgos, U.S. Army Reserve in Puerto Rico Commanding General on his opening remarks on the Retirement Ceremony of Col. Miguel A. Isaac, Deputy Commander and Commander Executive Officer (CXO) of the 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC) on 11 Jan.
The Military retirement ceremonies give the opportunities to friends, colleagues and others to thank the retiring Soldiers for his service and sacrifice made during his career. In this occasion, the 1st MSC hold a very special ceremony to Col. Isaac while he prepares to take a rest of the military life after 35 year when he was commissioned on June 1979 as Signal Officer.
“Since 1979 Miguel understood that the military will deal in an environment that is full of changes and surprises, it is for that reason that adaption and flexibility are keys to success. With your leadership the 1st MSC is one of the top commands of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, and I thank you for that. Throughout all you career, you set the example for your people and inspired their confidence. You gave them the right tools, push them forward and got out their way so they could do their best work, and they have.” add Brig. Gen. Burgos on his remark and extending his gratitude also to Ms. Sandra Isaac, Miguel Jr. and Alexandra, Col. Isaac family.
Col. Isaac was responsible for the direct supervision of two subordinates’ elements consisting of two Regional Support Groups and the 1st MSC Headquarters. He was responsible for all aspects of command, with emphasis on providing ready units and trained Soldiers capable of performing their wartime missions. His focus areas include Soldier mobilization, recruitment, retention, readiness, safety, and the Family Readiness Program. Since June, 2002, Mr. Isaac serves as CXO of the 1st MSC, US Army Reserve in Puerto Rico. The 1st MSC is a command of over 3,900 Soldiers covering the entire island of Puerto Rico and Saint Thomas, V.I. Mr. Isaac served as primary advisor and consultant to the Commander on policy matters relative to various phases of Army Reserve Program and other missions of the command.
“I am retiring but my legacy will continue. Is being a journey of 35 years, I have visited many countries and meet different people. Coming for a very humble childhood I never thought about being here today, retiring as US Army Colonel in this fine Army that have given me and my family so much, that I am so grateful to serve my country. As a baby-boomer all good thing has come to an end, and start a new way of life. I hope and I wish you all have a bless life like I have, and you do your most and best in all your endeavors. How I will like to be remembered? Very simple, that I placed my missions first, that I was part of a team but I also like to have fun. It was all about the Soldiers, it was not about me. I have to say goodbye, but goodbyes are not forever, that’s only means that I will miss you until we meet again. I salute you all.” said Col. Isaac on his final remarks as he thank the Soldiers, the civilian force, family and friends to support him during his career.
