Coexist: A New Kind of Bucket List
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-new-kind-of-bucket-list.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Tuesday, May 12, 2015. A New Kind of Bucket List. Being retired I feel like I should have a bucket list. I am pretty much open to doing anything I haven't done before and traveling anywhere I have the chance to go. A bucket list has to be feasible to be successful and I am a practical thinker so we'll see. What if you turned your bucket list into a bucket life? You want an adventure? Become a foster parent or adopt a special needs child. If tra...

Coexist: What I Have Learned From Caregiving
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/02/what-i-have-learned-from-caregiving.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Friday, February 6, 2015. What I Have Learned From Caregiving. This is a tough position to be in when it is your parent. But what have I learned from all this? I have learned that there is nothing. I have to do that is more important than being there for my parents. I slowly gave up all my activities because I so often had to miss them. I stopped making commitments for the same reason. Have I survived it? Of course. I have learned to do wha...

Coexist: Cleveland
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/01/cleveland.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Thursday, January 22, 2015. I see Cleveland as a time not yet come,. A book we haven’t read, the tenacious hope. Of next year tangled in its bridges and highways,. Beaming off the silvery water of a Great Lake. A place where Christmas memories and food memories. Are built into our bones, where you can step into a diamond. And hear an orchestra, or on any given day view a Rembrandt,. A Van Gogh, or hear poetry in a courtyard. By Diane Vogel Ferri.

Coexist: There is No Reality (The coming election year)
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/04/there-is-no-reality-coming-election-year.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Thursday, April 16, 2015. There is No Reality (The coming election year). Many years ago I read a book by Dr. Phil. (Life Strategies) This common sense book had a big impact on me. In the book he gave some basic life strategies and two of them changed my thinking. I think these are particularly pertinent in light of the political animosity that this country is currently experiencing and certainly will be in the coming year. One of my friends ha...

Coexist: A Good Eye
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-good-eye.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Thursday, April 30, 2015. I have been like the little bird. With one good eye. As I moved to the feeder. To refill the seeds. She didn’t see me. So I poked her purplish wing. She hopped about to face me. With her one good eye. Even with two good eyes. I have only seen half. Of what can be seen. But year by year. My callow vision improves,. Like veils being lifted away. One by one or. Like a foreign language. That sounds like nonsense. I am bles...

Coexist: A Great Day in America
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-great-day-in-america.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Friday, June 26, 2015. A Great Day in America. This morning I read in the paper that the US Supreme Court has upheld the subsidies for the Affordable Health Care Act so that deserving Americans can continue to seek out health care for their families. President Barack Obama got up to speak and he didn't just speak he preached a sermon - a beautiful, passionate and uplifting sermon. Then to top it off Barack began to sing Amazing Grace. Liquid Ru...

Coexist: WWJD?
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/03/wwjd.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Monday, March 30, 2015. In light of the new legislation in Indiana that allows business owners to refuse service to LGBT citizens may we remember these truths. This is no less than blatant discrimination - the same kind that refused African-Americans the right to eat in restaurants, drink at drinking fountains and go to integrated schools. No difference except it is possibly even worse to do it in the name of Jesus. April 1, 2015 at 8:56 AM.

Coexist: All the Light We Cannot See
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/03/all-light-we-cannot-see.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Thursday, March 5, 2015. All the Light We Cannot See. This is the book I have been waiting for: All the Light We Cannot See. By Anthony Doerr. If you are a reader you wait for that book that you don't want to put down but you also do not want to end. It's rare. Marie-Laure is the girl at the heart of the story. Some of the best writing is seeing the world through the perceptions of this blind girl:. There are so many awful books that make it to...

Coexist: What Makes A Woman
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/06/what-makes-woman.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Monday, June 15, 2015. What Makes A Woman. Well, I am not going to mention her name because it's been over-sensationalized, but there is a famous person who suddenly became a woman. We have been bombarded with photos of her looking very much like a statuesque beautiful woman. But is she a woman just because she looks like one? I am going to quote Elinor Burkett who recently wrote a piece in the New York Times. Hmmm, interesting, right? This art...

Coexist: Are You Really Pro-Life?
http://dianeferri.blogspot.com/2015/01/are-you-really-pro-life.html
Poetry, Inspiration, Art and Musings with Diane Vogel Ferri. Thursday, January 29, 2015. Are You Really Pro-Life? I have expressed a similar reasoning on this blog before. To me, pro-life means you are for all. Life, not just the life of an unborn fetus. It means you are against. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The highest result of education is tolerance. Helen Keller. Artist - Bruce Holwerda. Open the window in the center of your chest and let the spirit fly in and out. Rumi. I am blessed with a sm...
