			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Folks!</p>
<p>I know I&#8217;ve been away for an uncharacteristically (now there&#8217;s a word) long time.  Two weeks, if you haven&#8217;t been counting :).  And all for good reason.</p>
<p>Incidentally, there&#8217;s no such thing as &#8216;no good reason&#8217;.  Everything has a good reason even if it takes us a while to realize the &#8216;goodness&#8217; :)</p>
<p>So, what have I been doing during my time away?</p>
<p>Well, for one thing, I&#8217;ve been exploring and rediscovering parts of the off-line world that I&#8217;ve neglected&#8230;like afternoon teas and guests for dinner and being wined and dined&#8230;well, less of the wined and more of the dined&#8230; You know, those good, wholesome, connecting things that remind us of our interconnectedness?</p>
<p>Not that you don&#8217;t connect online.  Of course you do.  It&#8217;s probably the most convenient and far-ranging kind of connectivity.  But it&#8217;s not the same as offline connectivity.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s not as good.  Not at all.  It&#8217;s just different and I find both forms are enriching and enjoyable!</p>
<p>But anyway, here are some impressions and thoughts and feelings and new stuff that I want to share with you today,</p>
<p>Firstly, there&#8217;s Johnny Barnes.  I came to know of him through an email from <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeMrFire" target="_blank">Joe Vitale</a></strong> whose mailing list I&#8217;m on.  What an amazing being he is.  Johnny, I mean, although Joe Vitale is pretty remarkable in his own way.</p>
<p>But Johnny&#8230;I mean watch and find out what this Bermudan has been doing for the last 15 years.  Not something that most of us would contemplate doing.  But Johnny, being the free spirit that he is, has been doing it and continues to do it his 80&#8217;s!  This is one person who knows happiness!</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nveq-kwVu3g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Nveq-kwVu3g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now, the other thing that I want to share with you is my latest recording.  This one&#8217;s going to be a surprise because I haven&#8217;t done one like it before.  I&#8217;ll warn you though, it&#8217;s as rough and ready as it gets, recorded with my laptop in my lounge&#8230;  <a href="http://www.lucylopez.net/lucyinaworld.wma" target="_blank"><strong>In a World</strong></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s all in the spirit of doing what I love doing and sharing it with others.  And in that spirit, I&#8217;m also posting a self-portrait that I took with my webcam yesterday.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve long loved photography but it only just occured to me that I might use myself as a subject&#8230; :)</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.lucylopez.net/lucyinaworld.wma" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365615830856657186" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 318px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ps22bOq2j5U/SnZ_K39saSI/AAAAAAAAAjY/g0NbU-wazjM/s320/IMG000146+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Self-Portrait</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, that&#8217;s about it for now folks.  Do drop me a comment.  Tell me what&#8217;s going on in your life.  Ask me a question &#8211; I love sharing what I can, or tell me what you like or dislike about my latest post&#8230;Look forward to it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Blessings,</p>
