I was out amongst the people, maybe it was a tv show?  I don't know where exactly, somewhere like a tv set and I told you (them) I was cured of HIV, which you seemed to know, but didn't BElieve.

And the questions came.....how? 

I prayed.

What?

I prayed to GOD and thanked him for curing me....daily.

what else?

That's it.

What denomination are you?

None.  I AM a child of GOD.

What medications did you take?

None.

What herbs?

Many.

But how....?

I tell you, I prayed and lived as we all should.  I prayed and I BElieved.

What did you say?  Where?  What did you wear?  What time was it?  Did you dream this?  Were you breastfed as a child?  Did you get hit in the head?  Do you hear voices.....????????

and the questions kept coming, plastering me and bombarding me with one stupid thing after another.  I was feeling stressed and in disbelief that "they" just didn't get it. 

And then I felt sad.   Sad, because I realized that perhaps "they" never will "get it" and will spend their lives working to disprove everything spiritual, rather than to enjoy the gifts abundant.

Just a glimpse, a fraction of a dream.  All I remember and felt.  The scary, killing monsters have not returned in many a wink.  Now dreams seem to BE more in the know....

I must stop fighting my Evolution.

 

The garden is starting to produce large quantities of produce all at once.  You know what that means, home canning!

This Sunday was spent making salsa.  It was an all day event and I learned something important.  DO NOT TOUCH YOUR EYES for several hours after working with jalapeno peppers!  Several Hours!  Or it will burn like the dickens and it does not matter if you washed your hands, that hot stuff seems to cling in the pores.

Now for a few pics of Salsa Making 101.

We start by washing the jars in hot soapy water and then immersing them in boiling water to sterilize.

Next comes the chop, chop, chopping of vegetables.

Onions Too! 

     

All the ingredients amassed before they hit the pot.

Pouring the salsa into jars and then into a hot water bath for several minutes.

Finished Product!

Looks easy enough right?  Easy yes, but A LOT of work....unless you are Holly and can get an easy job like twisting lids on the jars!

EAT WELL.
BE WELL.

I've spent the last several weeks compiling a scrapbook of enormous proportions to give as a 50th Wedding Anniversary present to my in-laws.  Yes, I spent several all nighters working on it while BEing cursed with bouts of creativity and inspiration, thus making more work for me as I add more pages and pics and funny things.

I AM proud of my accomplishment.  I know that the books will BE well received and cherished and that is all the compensation I need.

Actually, I AM really digging the scrapbooking stuff so.... I bought some more supplies and plan to do my own scrapbook next.  I look forward to creating and BEing totally engulfed in a project again.  I AM already plagued with ideas and bursts of creative genius for my own book(s).  However, I will not have a time crunch with my books so.... maybe I will stop the all nighters and get some sound sleep.

So..... if you don't hear from me for a few too many ticks I AM probably scrapbooking!

BE WELL.

Finally!  I finally got some rain for my plants and gardens yesterday, last night and this morning.  My rain gauge is reading less than an inch of rain, but......THANK YOU!  LOVELAND was so parched and crispy from lack of rain and this in turn, was having a negative effect on me and those around me.   

It didn't help matters that I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" last night either.  Not a real "feel good" movie.

I do my part and have for years.  Perhaps it helps to grow up poor to help you value what you do have.  To not waste things.  To find other uses for things you wrote off as trash.

The one thing I have not done with much regularity is Pray for change.  I know full well the power of prayer and last night I really realized our Earth needs all the prayers she can get.

Seeing the Earth from a few million miles away was so profound to me.  I cannot verbalize where that image took me.  I cannot RE-member the memories it evoked, but I feel them, right there in the core of my BEing.

We are all in this together.  Perhaps the next planet we inhabit will BE less of want, need and greed and more of LOVE.

IMAGINE.

LOVELAND by Night

Can you see the Angel Orbs?  I AM Blessed!

Double Rainbow Over LOVELAND Tonight.

July 12, 2007.  A light, quick rain and then....

 

Sometimes memories will come flooding back and I can feel it, right there, where it's warm and full.  I smile knowing it was there all along.  My cheeks hurt from rememberance, from smiling.  It's a grin that won't go away and the pressure of it, just there, tickles me so deep, I think I might creep right out of my skin.

Now the butterflies dance right outside my door.  Dozens and dozens of butterflies dancing, seemingly without care as memories come flooding back.  I remember the day I rushed to work and paused for a second, to watch two butterflies make love in the air.  I filled with longing watching them, as I burdened myself with the incessant tick tock.  I decided then what was important and vowed to always make time for the butterflies.

So now they live inside, where it's full and warm.  When I remember Love, the butterflies swarm.  They giggle me right out my mind.  My body is tickling from Love and Light and my eyes are fluttering like a butterfly in flight.  I tremble with delight and gasp for more, yet I'm not sure I can stand any more.  It's too much.  I ache from the memory of more.  It's all right there, where it's full and warm and I rise up and gather big breaths.  I allow myself room for more.  Again...

I seem to float.  Not quite here, not quite there, yet everywhere at once and nowhere at the same time.  In and out of existence, like a song that repeats in my mind.  Always in the now and then but never at the same time.  I grasp the meaning then.  The meaning of now and then, of flow and go.  Change.  This now that.  The cycle of all that is warm.  The choice of what I grasp, where I rest, and who I AM.

I smile then.  A smile that glows all around my BEing.  Then more come, and more and more and I wonder how much is possible?  Might I burst from Delight?  Love and Light.  Infinite.  Forever.  More.

And the butterflies still hover, dance and play.  In a place like today and somewhere else, far away.  Yesterday, today, tomorrow... and more.

I needed a new pair of work boots/shoes and..... well I just couldn't help myself.  I had to have these boots and I AM sooooo going to BE Rockin' them!

You will have to wait for the pics of me rockin' my new boots with my propeller hat.  Everybody just loves the propeller hat and I get tons of comments and compliments on it.  Ooooh, I just remembered I have a Quisp shirt that will really set this ensemble off!  Jeez, I love to laugh!

BE WELL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today's my 41st Birthday and I AM celebrating by working all dang day.  Oh well, the Big Boss Guy personally thanked me for coming in today and helping out, and then he slapped it high for my Birthday.  I brought in treats for everyone today, STICKERS!  Yup, Boss Guy took a sticker too so....yippee, BIG brownie points for me today.

I had to bring in a non-edible treat for my birthday because I AM fasting now.  Day 3 of a juice fast and I have already lost 5 lbs!  I AM feeling wonderful and just know this fast is going to BE glorious and a total purge.  I AM sick of having headaches and sinus problems and .....and.....and..... It BEcame abundantly clear to me earlier this week that sugar is my biggest problem.  I tried to fast on Monday but gave into the urge to eat and also did heaps of chocolate.  Sure enough, about half and hour after eating the candy I had a horrible headache.  SUGAR will BE removed from my diet after this fast and I AM certain I will maintain optimum health then.  I plan to cure myself of this virus one of these days dontcha' know.  Once cured, I will hit the talk show circuits and teach everyone how to cure themselves.

It's MY intention and my intention is GOOD.

BE WELL.
