The Art and Soul of Persia!
Posted by Irene Turner in Architecture, Art, Travel on February 23, 2010
There is a special beauty in traveling to a part of our world that is so different from our daily life that it transports us to another time and space. The many splendors of Persia, or Iran, have always held a fascination for me because of the exotic and rich nature of it’s ancient history. I’m fortunate to have been introduced to the wonders of Iran at an early age through the people. With my father entertaining Iranian clients in our home, to meeting my soul sister, an Iranian student and my college roommate, I saw their world through them.
Recently, over a glass of wine, vineyard owner and world traveler Ellen Mack, told me about her trip to Iran in 2008. Her obvious admiration for and appreciation of the beauty she saw inspired me to put together this post. Thanks to her for taking such fabulous photographs which truly show the Art and Soul of the Persian People! (click on “Full Screen” for best view)

Transported By Beauty II: Winter Meditation
Posted by Irene Turner in Architecture, Inspiration, Nature on February 18, 2010
You all know how I love being Transported by Beauty. On December 3rd of last year I blogged about the beauty of the Cloisters in NYC. I love the Cloisters…the art, the architecture, the gardens, the view of the Hudson and the Palisades across the river. Fort Tyron is my favorite park in the city!
When I lived in New York, it was my place to escape to when I needed a break and a place to feel the quiet. To this day, every time I am in the city, I trek up to 192nd Street on the A train, and escape to this place from another time. What is it about the Energetics of Space™ that can transport you to another time and place? Continue reading “Transported By Beauty II: Winter Meditation” »

3 Tips for Valentines Day
Posted by Irene Turner in Holidays, Inspiration on February 11, 2010
Imagine Christmas without consumerism, Thanksgiving without excess, New Years with pledges to help one another rather then resolutions to improve ourselves…and Valentines Day…
Give love
Well…Valentines Day could be THE holiday that celebrates ALL modes of love. Familial and romantic, spiritual and physical, the earth and the heavens…in fact, love for our entire global community. Why not change the day so it has meaning for everyone by making it a day about caring for others. Why not make Valentine’s Day about the spirit of agape and grace?
