In the past I have made lists of my Keys to the Universe, by which I mean the things that never fail to do what they are supposed to do. They can be light, they can be deep. I have some new ones that I would like to share with you, and I hope that you will share yours with me so that I may consider including them in my new book.<\/p>\n

My Latest Keys to the Universe
1) Going to Great Eastern Trading Company, River Street, Central Square, Cambridge and just browsing, but let’s face it: I always end up buying something there. Case in point: I just bought a gorgeous deep purple and lavendar beaded cabaret style Egyptian belly dance costume! It is incredible. Totally over-the-top (except the top actually fits quite well). Glass bead fringe, matching belt! It moves with a life of its own! Makes me look like I know what I’m doing!
2) Putting on a belly dance costume and practicing.
3) I.M.ing with Ned.
4) Lunch at Family Restaurant<\/a>; it is the lunchplace to see and be seen in Brookline! I run into all my old Town Hall friends there. I talked to the owner and he says he is thinking of having belly dancers there, for special occasions…!!!!
5) Dinner at a restaurant (do you see a theme here?)
6) Visiting Nat’s school. They now have a wonderful music teacher, who is teaching Nat some music theory!
7) A 20 minute nap, in the middle of all the action in the living room, on the couch with the yellow Restoration Hardware pillow under my head, and the green-striped Crate and Barrel pillow on top of my head, and the blue, green, and purple afghan Mom brought back from Wales.
8) Remembering to have Shabbat (Jewish Sabbath) on Friday night; it is a great way to end the week and set up a peaceful, family-oriented weekend. Plus I love making the boys recite the prayers in Hebrew, and watching their sweet faces as they struggle with the ancient, foreign words. Shehechiyanu, V’kiyamanu, V’hikianu, Lazman Ha-zeh<\/a>. It is a Commandment, after all!
9) A good book idea. Yes, I have it. At last.
10) Giving a talk about Making Peace With Autism. <\/span>It never fails; I always enjoy these.
11) My chocolate brown shearling coat. Totally gorgeous, totally warm. Makes me look forward to cold weather. Well, sort of…\"\"<\/a>
12) Fun comments on my blog.<\/p>\n
