COSMIC CRAYOLA AND HOPE!
We Bloggers lost our sweet friend Karen whom all of you in Blogland knew best as "Cosmic Crayola". My dear friend Sondra ("Golfwidow's Ministry of Silly Walks") had been posting about Karen's health recently as the two girls were close friends. I can't remember now exactly how I came to blog with Cosmic (although I wouldn't be surprised if it was through Sondra's Blog). Regrettably, I never met Karen in-person, but she was one of those special people who made me feel as if I knew her well. We exchanged e-mails on and off, and I wept at the news of her passing because I enjoyed her very much. Karen was always very kind and thoughtful to me and truth be told, Kindness matters to me more than ever in this often selfish, cold, impersonal, busy and crazy world of ours. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with Karen and her family.

Not my studio, but you get the idea...
Very soon, I will welcome a new Guest on my feature "THE INTERVIEW". We audio taped our appearance here in Phoenix at her home last weekend. After the taping, I was watching cable television during my workout, and saw a public service message featuring Mary Tyler Moore who asked the question: "What does Hope mean to you?" My Special Guest tackles that question with some special work she is doing with children and I think your heart will be touched with a wink and a smile. That's all for today.

Looking forward to this interview :)
ps..Stop over when u have a chance.. A little surprise waiting ;)
that's quite a setup for an interview... it's sad to hear about folks passings whom we've gotten to know via their blogs.
"What does Hope mean to you?"
We think about yesterday while we live today and dream about tomorrow. But what is important is today because it happens only once - don't waste it!
That is the way I would answer that question. Great post Michael.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your blog friend, Michael.
i'm sorry to hear about cosmic. i didn't have the opportunity to meet her. i read about her passing on golfwidow's blog. cosmic left a great impression on those who knew her.
so yes, an interview about hope seems appropriate.
Heidi: I hope everyone stops by your site. What a beautiful surprise! :D)
Sage: She was such a nice person.
Glenn: I agree with you! Well said!!!
Becky: lol! I didn't know Cosmic as well as others, but the point is that she really left a positive impression on me as such a caring person.
Seraphine: I too read Golfwidow a lot too. Yes, a hopeful message is on the way. lol, Sera!

Yeah, I think I got to know her through GW as well. She was hard case and it's hard to think she's gone.
D-Man: The Golfwidow herself has touched so many lives with her incredible gift of humor. I think the girls were very lucky to have had such a great friendship. I really do! And yes, it's sad Cosmic is gone.
