Live, Love, Life


New Year, January 1, 2018

Along with the new year beginning January 1 2018, we will also have a full moon.  Full moons represent endings so this new year starts off with a beginning and an ending.  What could this mean? 

I will be posting a video on astrology which will help explain what the new year holds.  It is entitled "Astrology 2018, The Year of the Dog, Part 1.  I recommend you view it as it will be helpful when you make your plans. 

What do you want to accomplish?  What do you want to do?  What do you want to change?  Get in touch with your feelings.   Listen to your heart.  Don't waste time.  Do what you love.  Give out more hugs and kisses.  Maybe it will be to put others first. I can't stress how much this will change your life. 

Volunteer at a nursing home; be a mentor at the YMCA; help your neighbor; teach a skill.   

How many of us are taught to put others first?  When you jump out of bed in the morning (forget any coffee, sweet roll or checking your messages) you'll be heading out to the barn to feed a sick calf or a litter of kittens, a frail horse or an abandoned puppy.  Your wants and needs are just going to have to wait.  I've often argued that the best rehabilitation for juveniles and adults is teaching them how to care for animals.       

Once you realize you're not the center of the earth you will begin to gain a different perspective and see life with new eyes, viewing yourself and others positively.  You will begin to form a vibrant network with other souls and experience a kinship with them, surprised at how many are accompanying you on your journey and, even come in contact with some other extraordinary individuals who will open doors for you.   

We are all victims of programming.  Many of us are programmed not to trust others for a variety of reasons.  It's only when we break through someone's barrier of fear that we find a loving individual on the other side.  Sadly there are some who will want no part of this and keep droning along, wising up only after something bad happens.

I wish for each one of you may your dreams come true and may you find your true calling.  For others, may you find the courage to let go of the old and embrace the new.    

To all:  Steady as we go into the new year.

Remembering the Soldier

To America's Veterans:

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Thank you for making the decision to defend our liberty, our freedom.

And to you, Dad, for your service in WWII, The Korean War and Vietnam.

Memorial Day is all about honoring our military.

It's a day to bow our heads, say thank you, hoist the flag and gather with family and friends to remember and honor their sacrifices.

MEMORIAL DAY May 2015

Reflection

I wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving this November 27, 2014.  I ask for blessings to be heaped upon this great nation we live in. We tend to take so much for granted and are reminded, every so often, that life can be very fleeting.  That what we take for granted...safety and security, family, home, children, our religious freedoms, can be altered by events.  Sitting at the dining room table this morning I watched another beautiful sunrise.  Pink and purple, gold and bronze were the colors of the sky. Last night Abby and I sat under the Oak Tree and watched the sunset.  You could feel the warmth leaving and the cold starting to roll in.  Our fiery star slowly made its consummate descent in the western sky as its white gold sprays filtered through the trees, resulting in tiny golden droplets showering everything it touched.  We never know when it will be our last sunrise or sunset.  We never know when it will be our last "I love you."  Please take the time out of your busy days to reflect on how fortunate we are as a people, as a nation.   And, how can we make things even better, for all?  ~ God Bless.
