  EXPERIMENTS Have you noticed that life is made up of CHOICES? There is always  something to decided upon! It takes a whole lot of COURAGE and it is RISKY business. It is so easy to stay in the same rut and choose the same thing over and over again and then wonder why our life feels flat and we are bored! There are some 'favorites' we all enjoy and have/do them over and over again. Or some brands we always   buy because they are familiar and reliable. I'm the same way until I suddenly realize I could 'branch our here a bit and try something new and different. I would say that 80% of the time I'm happy with my choice. I have been blessed with making large purchases, like a house and a car that were the best choice ever! Taking a job offer before I even had a blink of time to think about it!Marrying someone I knew only 3 months! All good choices.  That's not to say things stayed the same because they didn't but they were still the right CHOICES. It takes EXPE

FUTURE I have another dream I had  to share. (It was a bit of science fiction, to be sure).There were huge chartreuse tanks of something all lined up., lying down side by side. Then I was out in a desert of some kind, although there were rolling hills. There were other people as well and we were 'exploring' something on the earth. We dug huge, long ditches every few feet and suddenly, I was looking at them all lined up from the air.  I knew that whatever was happening was a good  thing but I had no clue what it was. It seemed like an experiment of some kind. There appeared to be many more 'tanks springing up everywhere. There were small chartreuse kerchiefs on each one like a small scarf to 'label' them somehow. Now the 'tanks' became graves of some kind or a 'place' for friends and family members to congregate and acknowledge their loved ones. Most of these people were very angry because they felt their loved ones were not being honored. I watched a

When my dear little Wren Friend comes calling with his sweet song at my window, I consider it such a sweet GIFT! I experience NATURE as a whole a sweet gift, to be enjoyed and cherished! This time of year, there is GIVING in the air! At least we can create it to be so. Thanksgiving is on its way, this week! A time to be AWARE of all our many gifts no matter whatever is happening, there are many  gifts abounding! So many of us are preoccupied with what goodies we can provide for the Feast of Thanksgiving! Next comes Christmas, a time of GIVING to be sure. Every year I have the thoughts of how  to GIVE and WHAT   to give. I have long ago given up the idea of individual gifts for family and friends. Considering the needs in the world, my deepest wish is that (we) all people contribute to a fund that furnishes all people in need with generous  items sorely need

                                                                                 WEEPING GINGER PREPAREDNESS Have you ever had a dream in sleep that really woke you up? I had one that was PROPHETIC, in my experience. I was in an airplane just windows all around me, just me in a seat. I looked down and saw a gigantic expanse of land below that was 180 degrees view. There was a very steep cliff, like a canyon. At the top of the cliff was tall dried grass extending for miles beyond. It went on and on. I was on my way to see someone to 'report' what I was seeing. When I came 'back' to the scene, I discovered other features, like blue dots running off to the right side. So I 'reported' that and other features like a blue water fall. It was like the plane was about to land on an air strip when I noticed a huge river flowing 'toward' me and 'I' had to steer the plane off center to avoid it.  I didn't feel exactly scared but very much alarmed that it

  NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS This photo of a NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS is one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen! I understand it blooms once and then is gone! It's like a magnificent chance it takes to show the world such Beauty! What an inspiration to experience, ( even in a photo). Such a marvel! What an OPPORTUNITY to swoon! That is exactly how I feel about coming together as a unit of the world to VOTE! The time has crept up some of us, for others it has dragged itself here. I am not a political activist in the traditional way, but this ELECTION is really CRUCIAL for so many people in so many ways, on so many levels! I made sure I VOTED by mail and mailed it in with wings of faith on the content for the highest good for all to the best of my knowledge. I'm so much more AWARE of what is going on with so many views, it can be daunting and confusing. I always go by what my gut guides me to do, along with well researched information. I know how I  feel  and how I want to fe
