All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony, shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross. There is no loss (Kansas)

Wie geht's? 

I am fond of telling people that I have lived a charmed life. That doesn't mean I have mastered the embrace of Amor Fati (a love of fate). But I aim to, even though it's tough sometimes. Especially when loved ones depart from our lives.

This week on our current Wander to Wozza's Music Club playlist (WTWMC - Loved Ones) the three amigos are celebrating my mum - Dulcie Mary Purdy (a.k.a. Dulse). She was born in April 1930 and passed away in November 1983. She was the greatest mum ever - yes, I know, but she was. Trust me.

I still own most of the records that are my five selections for the week. I inherited them when dad passed away in 2009. They mean a lot to me.

In the spirit of Amor Fati, I am determined not to be sad this week. Instead, it's a musical celebration of a great person in my life, someone who set me up well for what was to come.

She wasn't well educated, in the sense that she finished her formal schooling before secondary school to get a job and support her own mum, but in many ways her values and the things she learned and passed on were invaluable to me.

See - a charmed life!

Love and peace - Woz
