KRISTINA'S WEEKLY EMAIL OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAYS & VIDEOS TO KEEP YOU CONNECTED TO YOURSELF ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE
|
Greetings!
If you had a rough week or are struggling in any way, know that you're not alone. Last weekend and the first half of this week was particularly intense (I talk little about my experience on
Instagram
), so it was with much gratitude that I welcomed the opportunity to get out of the city yesterday to visit the site where the
Woodstock Music Festival
took place nearly 51 years ago.
As you can see from the PGG below, I am most definitely a child of the 80's, but have always loved music from the 70's too - and have been on a kick recently watching live performances and documentaries about the era, a great one being
We can learn a lot from and be inspired by how everything during Woodstock came together in a spirit of peace, love and cooperation amidst utter chaos. A woman I met while visiting the festival grounds at
Bethel Woods
who was actually there in August 1969 told me in response to my astonishment with how no major incidents occurred, that, "A bunch of right choices happened." The film did an excellent job of capturing the history and energy of this world-changing event, which was far more than a music concert.
My hope is that
we can reclaim
some of that positive energy in these times in which we so desperately need it
. ☮️✌️♥️🙏🏻
Lastly, if you look forward to and benefit from these weekly missives and PGG essays and want to show your gratitude,
any donations for my efforts are welcomed and appreciated here:

Big hug <3 Kristina

Blast From the Past
Originally published November 10, 2010
One of my favorite artists from back in the day,
Howard Jones
, sang: “The old man said to me, don’t always take life so seriously….
Try and enjoy the here and now, the future will take care of itself somehow.“
And he happily cautions in the chorus, “
Don’t try to live your life in one day
, don’t go speed your time away.”
I recently came into a newfound appreciation for the wisdom of his pop songs – beyond what the catchy tunes, a cute face and big orange ’80s mohawk hairdo did for me back then.
Fashion and music always comes around again in slightly different forms. Nowadays everyone is cutting back and having to scale down and tap into whatever material and personal resources they have.
It’s a good time to reflect on what facets within you can be recycled and refurbished
. What about yourself, someone else, or the situation can you look at and see with new eyes, appreciate and/or put to use in a totally different way? What blast from your past – whether a song, piece of clothing, relationship or talent – can you relish in now, but in a more profound way?
Not sure what gems you might have forgotten that can be dug up and polished off for your greater good?
Give me a buzz
and
I’ll help you do some excavating to resurrect those parts of your life that have been dormant
far too long, and by doing so, discover that indeed
“Things Can Only Get Better.”
