Thanks for the comment on the wave picture.
I see you live in semi solitude. I love to be alone so I can enjoy whats around me. I have had the pleasure of living on an Island where there are very few people and in the evening I am usually alone. That is when I do most of my painting.
Your poems are very nice if you fined any painting on my site that go with your poems I would be happy to let you post them with them.
Thanks George
You are so blessed. i just love ocean in its glory. i can close my eyes and clearly see it rolling (even though i have seen it only twice). my dream has been spending my life in a deserted island. 🙂
Hi Trisha, hope you’re okay.
i was, but my old monitor suddenly expired on 23rd 🙂 i got the new one yesterday.

soulbro*
dearest soulbro,
if you could see her you would have loved her even more.. she is a real doll 🙂
with lots of love.
Golden Lotus of God’s Love…I can imagine her and your friendship with her..I love you both..try some more snaps on her if you can..enjoy my love:)*
soulbro*continuance in your happiness always with God’s Love(+)
dearest soulbro,
she is camera shy, the moment she sees the cellphone she turns away her face 😦
she is really naughty..
with lots of love.
Golden Lotus of God’s Love…it sounds like you need a plan B…maybe camouflage?…that is OK as long as she is contented and happy let her enjoy my love….:)
soulbro*
dearest soulbro,
when she sees me without the cellphone she is happy as a bird, but the moment she sees the cellphone she starts her makeup.. 🙂
Golden Lotus of God’s Love..that is so cute…enjoy my love*
soulbro*
dearest soulbro,
she is really funny, sweet and cute.
today i gave her biscuits and she did not ate. was yawning her heads off.
she is scared to play, she is really a cute and funny cat.
with lots of love.
Golden Lotus of God’s Love..she knows right where to go for ease and comfort…she feels secure with you and that is why she has come to you…as God pointed her in the right direction also…..you love her and so do I…enjoy my love(+)
soulbro*happiness from God to you and to Kitso as well my love
dearest soulbro,
hope she feels this way for the longest possible time 🙂
Golden Lotus of God’s Love…was she around again today?…did she eat a biscuit?…bring a boyfriend?….cute:)..enjoy my love(+)
soiulbro*
dearest soulbro,
till date she shows her cute little face atleast once every day, but she is slowly refusing biscuits..
she has so many admirers.. she is so cute … i think all the tom cats in the locality think that, but she doesnot shares their views..
their feline activities are quite cute to watch, yesterday she was sitting under my window when one of her admirers came.. the poor guy tried to be friend with her and she jumped up in the window.. 🙂
Golden Lotus of God’s Love…she sounds like a bundle of joy and to capture her in video would even be more of a treat..but like you said about the pictures..she is way to modest for the cell phone camera let alone the silver screen…enjoy my love(+)
soulbro* with a continuance of love and prayers for your happiness
dearest soulbro,
i will take her with me when i meet the mermaid. she is a bundle of sweetness… a cute doll. 🙂
Golden Lotus of God’s Love…
SMMMMMMOOOOOCCCCCCHHHHHHAAAA…enjoy my love(+)
soulbro*wishing much love and happiness from God and myself always
thank you my sweetest brother 🙂
Golden Lotus of God’s Love..you are always welcome….(+)
soulbro*
dearest soulbro,
so are you….. have a stellar sunday!
with lots of love.
I love this poem you wrote about yourself. You are loving and compassionate. I wish you many blessings.
dear suzi,
i think most of us think that way. i am no exception.
with lots of affection,
wow- i guess the magic touch of our blessed mother theresa is in you too..
if my soul is touched by her shadow then my soul will be blessed.

So beautiful, my dear “average” Indian/Sister/Friend. I particularly cherish these lines below because they remind me of our friendship. Love, Sharie, and “average” Italian/American Grandma and spiritual seeker
An entire life of friendship with you

Your blogs are amazing and you have put the emotions in a beautiful way. You have a golden heart. Dear friend, God loves average people only, the one who have compassion and empathy.

(Just in case) 🙂
Have a lovely week.
Brian
thanks a lot brian, it really helps a lot to add one’s blog url either in the comment or in the gravatar 🙂
Hi there Trisha, glad you stumbled upon one of my posts. You´re a very good writer. So if you don´t mind I´ll be dropping by once in a while to do what I have coined “my cool stalker moves”
have fun. Thanks for checking it out!
I have seen you many different ways, and I see the new gravatar and i find myself delighted because I still love you all the same. You have always been a treasure to me dear sister! I was blessed when you became a part of my world…for all you do is always so very meaningful and inspiring! Thanks for the gift, and may your new week be special, and amazing…hugs and blessings to you Trisha!
Glad that you liked my face 🙂
I love this page, and didn’t know you liked to be call Trisha. I shall try to remember. You have a lot of books out and soon I shall be reading your Spirits… book. I am just finishing up a book and I plan to read yours next. Glad I found this page… love your poem. From now on, you are my Empress Musie! 😀
Thank you for all the catching up you did on my blog. I responded to all your messages to show that I did read them all. It was very much appreciated. I shall try to catch up on all your blogs in due course.
Many blessings and may all of your works be a success! 🙂
Believe me Kevin, try to pick up the blog you love the most and just browse through the others, your blog is an inspiration to us, Indies, you don’t know yet how much it is helping us!
Actually I was quite allergic to my name before someone pointed me out the courage of the mythical character whose name it was, that some how made me accept it, as for Trisha, well it is fine with me, I picked it up myself but then I did not knew there is a superhit heroine in south india by that name, seems I have a tendency to pick up names that everyone else likes ;(
You’re far too kind.
I will probably call you all three names… on a whim, in fondness of course: Sharmishtha, Trisha, and Empress Musie. 😀
I wish I could call myself empress musie, or imagine, actually I call my muse empress musie because she rules!
Congratulations, dear Sharmishtha!
