Real Name: Tasha Halpert
Signature: Maintaining an attitude of gratitude is the the best way I know to have a rich, fulfilling life.
Biography: I was born loving the light and have spent much of my life learning to discover it in unlikely places as well as likely ones.

From the time I was small I wanted to be a writer and certainly I have spent nearly a lifetime pursuing that art. In the process I raised five children, published many articles and poems and a number of self published books written both with my husband and by myself.

My most recent book, published by Galde Press is a combination of my Heartwings Love Notes--perspective pieces reflecting my personal philosophy, poetry to reflect the themes of the essays, and helpful exercises to allow readers to help themselves create a more positive approach to life.

I also write and publish a weekly internet column called Heartwings Love Notes. My weekly newspaper column, Good Earthkeeping is popular in our town as are the local cable programs I devise and produce.

I hope to keep learning and growing all my life. There is much to discover and enjoy and I hope to always see life from that perspective.

My husband and I are very much in love after more than three decades, and people tell us we are an inspiration to them. I try to live my life as a good example of a kind, loving person. It is my belief that we all do the best we can with what we are given to work with, and I do what I am able to help make the world a fruitful, happy garden of delights.

Pujakins's recent Blog entry. Heartwings Love Notes 570: My Mother Used to Say ( 122 reads) Sunday, May 12, 2013 (19:28:58)
 
Heartwings says, "What a parent says can become an enduring guideline."

My mother used to say things I enjoy remembering. One of her favorite responses was, "In a hundred years will anyone care?" She didn't believe in getting too upset over anything because after all, what good did it do? As a more emotional person, I have found this sentence to be quite useful to remember when I get overly excited about what didn't go as I planned or expected.

If she had lost something she would exclaim, "Someone stole my..." I said this a lot until I realized I was dooming my search. After all if it were stolen, how would I ever find it? If someone else sought a missing item she might say, "The house never looses anything." That is true. Yet sometimes it seems that someone borrows an item and returns it when no one is looking because the item is found somewhere I had carefully looked.

With hand sewing, Mama was very specific about how long the thread should be. She illustrated her point with a story. It seems the Devil and a tailor had a contest for the tailor's soul. Each was to make a coat. The Devil threaded his needle only once meaning he had to run around the garment three times for every stitch he took. The tailor, using many shorter lengths of thread, easily won the contest. I remembered that when I get out my needle and thread.

Born in Germany just prior to WWI her childhood was overshadowed by wartime food shortages. As a result she would say, "You can't leave the table until you finish everything on your plate. Food must not be wasted." I learned to swallow pieces of liver like pills. In the time since I have evolved creatively as a cook by not wasting leftovers. On this and every Mother's Day I give thanks for her presence in my life. She always did the best she could.

May you have good guidance you remember and honor the one who gave it.

Blessings and Best Regards, Tasha Halpert

      Hello:

      may all the rainbows hidden through the realm of life,

      palpate the lining of your thoughts and heartstrings.

      May all the angels around your aura

      dance freely around the life of you, and the heavenly things. Wink Wink

      Poetry should be the view to our world.

      Poetry is art through words
      Art is poetry through vision

      Poetry is word-art's paintbrush
      Art is a merry vision of poetics

      ---

      Music is sound through artistic frequency
      it dances with these whirling heartstrings
      it's the world's universal tasty sound wave
      an accolade, a reigning gem of rainbows
      the ear dance to our voicing silence
      when, oh hail the words fail to speak

      ----
      garments of musicality is our sumptuous beat
      a dream dance alliance of our ongoing treat
      the fixating ardent one for our rhythmic minds
      crawling on the floor when feet can't walk on time
