2-21-2019 LOVE THESE!

My brain has a negative bias

due to childhood trauma...

so I've had lots of negative self-talk going on

these past 6 decades!

This deck of cards is full of positive affirmations

that are accepting and empowering

and I plan to absorb and digest them

into my spirit and energy...

the positive things I should have been told as a child...

but wasn't.

I am at a fork in the road of my life's journey...

to either stay on the negative path I've been traveling

for the past 6 decades...

or to take off in a new direction

that is more positive.

I am choosing the new/positive direction.

I am turning the page on the previous negative chapter of my life

and beginning a new chapter in my story.

It will be a short chapter, but at least it will be happy.

Some of my family and friends may not like

the direction I am taking.

I'm fine with that.

2-20-2019 Angels

This is the seventh online course I have taken

in an attempt to study

how current/pop culture view angels.

The Bible, other sacred texts, and many cultures

all ascribe to the existence of angels

and growing up in the Christian faith tradition

I believed that angels existed

because they are mentioned in the Bible,

BUT,  I actually know very little about them

(or what people believe about them, esp. today)

other than a few names (Michael, Gabriel, etc.) 

and that theyare messengers from/to God.

So, thought I would study up.

It's been interesting!

2-10-2019 Would You Call This Blue?

What I ordered...

What I got...

I'm slowly learning that ordering things online

is not the best way to go.

This has happened numerous times

from different companies and products.

I guess I need to see what I'm buying before I pay. Sigh.

Live and learn.

2-9-2019 Pentatonix is Coming to Town!

2-8-2019 SunLit Ice

Sunlit ICE on the trees

shining in the setting sun

as 50 mph winds swing the branches

together and make a clacking sound

like a skeleton dancing in the wind.

My world is covered with ice today.

Thank you to neighbors Eli and Ruby, Angela and Ryan

for keeping Jocelyn safe yesterday

when she arrived home from

an early out

that Oma did not know about!

So glad they kept her from trying to walk to Oma's house!
