Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are to your comfort zone.

Dreamy Deepwater Sunset

Its the last day of Summer today and its a leap year as well.  It was our first Summer in Deepwater. It was very different to where we came from.  Zero humidity to make you feel drained on the daily.  I am so glad we came here.

It can be a daunting experience chasing your dreams.  I chased my dream and I caught part of it, now to wait to catch the other part of it.     Looking forward to the changes that Autumn (Fall) brings with the colours of the foliage changing to Gold just before Winter.

Coming home ... Will it be my heart or will it be his?

 I know that we're takin' chances, you told me life was a risk
but I just have one last question...
Will it be my heart or will it be his?
~   City and Colour  ~

I am sending love out there into the universe knowing it will reach the destination intended.  I just hope they are ready to feel this.  Long distances make the vibration of love stronger,  intensifying the power it has for healing. Love is why, and love is how.

"However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?"

~ Buddha   ~

Be unperturbed about life.  It is not a worldly attachment to eat and sleep.  But it is a worldly attachment if we become  bound up because there is little or zero fluidity with nature and trying too hard on purpose.

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”

I know this predicament.  Its torturous.  After years of not knowing what to do I decided to just let go. There is no debating the fact, they chose me as their mother and I don't have to justify illusions to make someone else feel alright about their fantasies.

Promise Yourself

~ Christian D. Larson ~

“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

There is something about the culture of endless alcohol availability.  It takes the 'Special' out of it.  When the special disappears, so does the magic.  Why should magic hang around where its going to be ignored and forgotten.

Starry Starry Night under the cloths line.

 Watching the stars is a favorite night time past time.  The feeling of infinity is gleaned from such a joyful experience.  I loved the stars so much I gave the name 'Star' to our youngest daughter.

Reason and Truth will prevail at Last!

~ Samuel Johnson~

Jesse when he was one day old.

Have you ever loved someone so much that you thought your heart would burst.  I know this sort of love.  I loved my children and it felt like this.  I didn't think it was possible to love that much.

Tragically, I have no idea where my son is.  He is Twenty-Eight years old this year.  Everyone needs a mother who loves them dearly - that's why we have Mothers. 

Truth will prevail!  This is what I hope for each and every day.

‘In much wisdom there is much sorrow; he who increases knowledge, increases sorrow.’

Ecclesiastes 1:18

All cultures hold occulted knowledge

The secret wisdom in the holy sciences can be a dangerous thing.  You can be assured you will never be the same again. It is like a continual epiphany moment endlessly.

As a river flows on-wards so must the seeker press on because there is no turning back once you have allowed your eyes to be opened.
