karen pasacreta : Peace and Love

As much as I'd like to fight it, I'm approaching that middle age range. Things that you think only happen in your parent's generation are starting to happen in your life. Like you start knowing people who pass away. It starts reminding you of your own mortality and sheer panic sets in. Great, I keep telling myself. Now I am never going to sleep. I worry about my kids, my mortgage, my husband, my dog and my now-half-eaten NEW couch, and I worry that I actually stayed up worrying and lamenting about a couch. Seems silly when I am now at the age where people are dying. Deep breath, Karen. Breathe in. Breathe out. Anyway. I created a L-O-V-E pillow to remind people (by people, that's me) that the only thing that matters in life is LOVE. And yoga. And a large glass of wine to get me through.
