Palisades Wine Fest at Gladstones to Benefit Friends Of Temescal Pool

I'm looking forward to attending the Palisades Wine Fest at Gladstones to Benefit Friends Of Temescal Pool takes place April 10th, 2011, 4 -7pm.

The Palisades Wine Fest is a small, exclusive wine festival focused on exhibiting the finest wines from some of California’s best known and boutique vineyards. Enjoy fine wines and hors d’oeuvres from the spectacular vantage point of Gladstone’s private rooms overlooking the ocean. Enter a chance to win an iPad2 and a large screen television, which will be announced at the Fest. There will also be a silent auction for many fabulous items. Proceeds of the Palisades Wine Fest will benefit the efforts of the Friends of Temescal Pool to reopen the historic, treasured landmark, the Temescal Canyon Pool (www.FriendsTemescalPool.com).

Please join me for a fun Sunday afternoon of wine-tasting on the beach while supporting a great cause.

The Purpose of A World Butterfly ~ My Inspiration

I am documenting this journey with a purpose in mind.

My personal and professional experiences can be described as similar to the metamorphosis of a butterfly: growing, learning, expanding knowledge, gaining insight and evolving in the quest for love, peace, health & prosperity.

I trust my internal compass as strong and thriving, keeping me on track to pursue challenging and rewarding life goals.

NOW is always the time to make a difference and create positive impact.

My intention is to step-by-step create change through action that can benefit many worldwide.

About Me

MY NAME IS VANESSA. WORLD IS A COMMON NAME FOR THE PLANET EARTH BUT IS ALSO OFTEN USED TO MEAN THE SUM OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION LIVING ON IT, SPECIFICALLY HUMAN EXPERIENCE, HISTORY, OR THE 'HUMAN CONDITION' IN GENERAL.[1] IN A METAPHYSICAL CONTEXT, WORLD MAY REFER TO THE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING THAT CONSTITUTES REALITY. VANESSA HAS BEEN ADOPTED AS THE NAME OF A GENUS OF BUTTERFLY. THE ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR "BUTTERFLY" IS ΨΥΧΉ (PSȲCHĒ), WHICH PRIMARILY MEANS "SOUL", "MIND". A BUTTERFLY IS SEEN AS THE PERSONIFICATION OF A PERSON'S SOUL; WHETHER THEY BE LIVING, DYING, OR ALREADY DEAD. IN CHINESE CULTURE TWO BUTTERFLIES FLYING TOGETHER ARE A SYMBOL OF LOVE. IN SOME OLD CULTURES, BUTTERFLIES ALSO SYMBOLIZE REBIRTH INTO A NEW LIFE AFTER BEING INSIDE A COCOON FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS IS MY STORY...
