LOST!!!

Lost: My friend Scott. Don't have many details to give you. Not even sure where he was last seen but I do know that he hasn't been around in a while. I like his geocaching blog, it is cool. I REALLY MISS his poetry blog though. Anyway, he is a great guy with a hell of a sense of humor and a wonderful smile. If you happen to run across him please send him back.

O-kay, I know I have been gone for a while but I think I am back. Hello to all my friends out there! Lots going on lately, most important is the graduation of Samantha, my youngest child. It is an extremely happy and exciting time. She is moving into her own apartment and has her first job. I an so proud. I am also profoundly sad! This is MY BABY we are talking about. Would help if I liked the guy she is dating; but I don't. Anyway, it is her life, and like everyone else, she deserves the chance to make her own mistakes.



On to other things. I am trying to learn how to start plants from seeds and mature them properly so they will survive outside. Tried this for the first time this year; lets just say it wasn't a resounding success. I am proud to say that it wasn't a complete failure either! The lilies are going to live but, out of 10 pepper plants only 1 survived and he's not looking so hot. I also tried to start poppy seeds but none of those survived. Not sure what I did but, they died in a very early stage. The fact that they germinated is enough incentive to get me to try again!
I had my oral surgery on april 1st and am happy to report that all is healing well. The stitches are completely gone and i feel so good! Even without my new teeth, I am already eating things that I haven't eaten in a long time. Apples are so yummy!
My garden is blooming and growing like crazy! This makes me so excited I can't stand myself. I cannot describe the feeling I get each morning as I awake to this wondrous site and know that I helped to create it. Daffodils and Tulips have bloomed. My Bleeding Heart has tripled in size from last year. The Irises and Lilies are beginning to get flower buds.







Well, I guess that's about all for now. I will get some new pics of the garden posted soon as I can. I will be back soon, goddess willing. Brightest Blessings to all who read this.

Signs of Life

Alright, no one get offended. I received this in an e-mail and thought it was funny and cute. S0; since it is so cute and funny I thought I would share with all of my friends out there in cyber space.

I still think that this is very cute. I am a Pisces and since I am not really a drinker I guess it is not quite me. Leave me a comment and let me know if your sign fits you.

Woman Embracing Womanhood

There are many ways and myriad reasons for women to honor and embrace all that they are. And when any individual woman chooses to do so, all women collectively move closer to becoming what they are truly capable of being. By honoring her experience and being willing to share it with others—both male and female—she teaches as she learns. When she can trust herself and her inner voice, she teaches those around her to trust her as well. Clasping hands with family members and friends, coworkers and strangers in a shared walk through the journey of life, she allows all to see the self-respect she possesses and accepts their respect, too, that is offered through look, word, and deed. When a woman can look back into her past, doing so without regret and instead seeing only lessons that brought her to her current strength and wisdom, she embraces the fullness of her experience. She helps those around her to build upon the past as she does. And when she chooses to create her desires, she places her power in the present and moves forward with life into the future. Seeing her own divinity, a woman learns to recognize the divinity in all women. She then can see her body as a temple, appreciating its feminine form and function, regardless of what age or stage of life she finds herself. She can enjoy all that it brings to her experience and appreciate other women and their experiences as well. Rather than seeing other women as competition, she can look around her to see the cycle of life reflected in the beauty of her sisters, reminding her of her own radiance should she ever forget. She can then celebrate all the many aspects that make her a being worthy of praise, dancing to express the physical, speaking proudly to express her intellect, sharing her emotions, and leading the way with her spiritual guidance. Embracing her womanhood, she reveals the facets that allow her to shine with the beauty and strength of a diamond to illuminate her world...
