HEAVEN IS A LITTLE CLOSER IN A COTTAGE BY THE SEA

Nestled in the hills surrounding a pristine beach is a little cottage with gray walls and a blue roof. Little wind chimes tinkle sweet melodies as the wind plays hide and seek. Huge glass windows capture all the sunshine and a warm wood floor holds all that warmth inside. A wonderful fireplace for chilly evenings and knickknacks that hold memories from all over the world.

Best of all is the woman who lives here. One who gave up a life of gain to give something back. To underprivileged women struggling with abuse and poverty in some of the poorest countries in the world.

She was so impressed with the warmth shown to her by complete strangers that she is going to spread it around. She welcomes people into her home and heart and hopes that the recipient passes it around. A wonderful way to make the world a better place.

Does the beautiful piece of earth she lives in play a role in the warmth she exudes? Weatherworn wooden steps lead from her home to the wide expanse of the beach. Trees line both sides of the path leading to the ocean and the green canopy overhead makes it a dark and mysterious tunnel. The path ends suddenly and there is a sudden burst of sunshine. Vistas of blue and white stun the eye after the cool and soothing colors of the path. The water is every shade of blue and more and the white sands provide a startling contrast: a true feast for the eyes.

Heaven on earth. Only the truly lucky get a taste of it and only the luckiest get to live in it.

Argh, Did I say that? Those are "smart titles" "good ones" I know you make them on the fly -- just that somehow I think the last birth of yours might have been in England..
