The Day I Bumped into Someday
The first time I saw the Sign of the Times I was late for work. Back then, I was working as a nurse at Humpty Hospital, and on that particular day, I stopped at the Coffee Chop on my way to work. My friend Vicki Pedia and I were kookling for a knock off pair of Mzzz Pink’s spiral shoes. You see, the day before, we saw her get off her neon pink chopper wearing these really cool shoes and just about gasped! Read more...
Has Time Been Sent to Spam?
Last week, I emailed two women with oodles of web presence. Recognizing their time is really valuable, I made sure my emails were short and to the point and as gracious as possible. I put a lot of time into it, inviting each of them to take a look at my latest blog. Their web postings sure made it seem like we had a lot in common. I didn’t ask them for anything. I didn’t even ask to meet or take up lots of their time. What did I ask from them? Dialogue. What did I get? Ignored. Read more...

Ms. Bee Haven's Quote: Bee Yourself "In this busy, busy world, many get so lost in the trying and doing, they lose a sense of who they really are. I call it the fumble bee phenomenon. Instead of trying so hard to bee like someone else, I say honey, just BEE yourself!" |
Fumble Bees are Everywhere
"Today in this very busy bee self consuming modern day world of superficiality, instant gratification and wanna bees, there's a buzz of belonging to another world. The few who already belong to this world make it seem so simple and effortless, as if they are just naturally there. These are the bees who live their dreams, and are often noticed by the masses, with some even changing the course of history.
And so it's no wonder that many bees desperately seek this other world. Yet they seem to bee constantly bumping against it like a window, seeing exactly where they want to go in plain sight - right there on the other side of this invisible barrier - but unable to get there.

Making Wonder Last
Yesterday, I hung a new painting on the Wall. Pink and magenta blots among cerulean swirls. The 6 foot giant canvas jutted out of the long, gray monster, next to two high titanium ladders and a wobbly wooden one. Right smack in the middle of the muted world.
The hems of my yellow silk skirt collected concrete dust as I bravely stepped past the line of ladders and up to the Wall. As the people on the Wall gathered about to sneer and snicker, I hung it by myself, standing my ground in my sturdy souled shoes, with nothing but a hammer, a step stool, and long silver nails designed to last.

Mzzz Pink's Quote:
It's the Dance! "Ever wonder what a different world it would be if everyone's operating system was set on joy, not fear? All of us have truly remarkable gifts within us for the world to see, if only we would step on the dance floor of life and dance!" |

High Heels on Ladders?
Mzzz. Pink answers the question we've all been waiting for. Or does she? My visit with Splash CIty's favorite yet enigmatic business tycoon. by Debi Dewit
It was not an easy climb. To reach Mzzz. Pink's exclusive globe apartment at the top of Starbright towers, I had to take off my six inch pumps and put on my best pair of climbing shoes. There are no elevators draped in glitter and pink fur to get there. No free rides on her neon pink helicopter. First came the wooden ladders, then the steel, and eventually titanium, which are rougher on the soul than I could have ever imagined.Read More...

It's the Dance! by Mzzz Pink
Have you found joy today? If so, was it on the face of the barista who waited on you at the Coffee Chop this morning? No? Why would you ever expect to find it there, you ask cynically?
After my neon pink helicopter lands on the top of the Starbright Towers, I'll often head into the Coffee Chop for a quick cup of peppermint tea before I ascend to my globe penthouse in my pink spiral heels. When I do, I often leave a tip with a small pink card that READS "It's the Dance." I find that most of the baristas pick up the card, read it, and squint in confusion. They seem to be more concerned with the amount I left in the tip jar than the real tip I left them in my card. Read More...

Up Against the Wall by Lisa Hearditall
If you think getting on the wall is a difficult task, and getting to the top of the wall a phenomenal accomplishment, have you ever dared to think about getting off the wall?
Approximately ten years ago, a highly controversial study was conducted at the University of POP on a forbidden subject; getting off the wall. Oddly, it's not clear who funded the research, and until the recent climate of transparency at the University, the startling findings have been held confidential to the Splash City public. The findings were an eye opener to many at the University of POP, as they are considered a threat to those in power. Once the study became public, Splash City Supreme Court Justice Judge MyView hesitated retracting his initial GAG order that instituted severe consequences for anyone who dared reveal their findings. The closed door courtroom drama played out for several years, keeping the choke collars held tight around the necks of the individuals who participated in this study. Until now. Read More...
