This was a message from the lovely Mccabe of Dancing Mermaid.  I wanted to help her get the word out for this great cause.

—————————————————————————————-

hi friends!


this is for the rescue house silent auction, which is the great group i have been volunteering with. a lot of cats have been rescued and placed into loving homes because of the generous donations people contribute!

artist friends: anything you have would be lovely-small prints/items as well. from what i hear, the art was a bigger seller last year.

if you have any service that would be available, i ask you to consider. it is all about the animals!

Releasing.

I’m learning about myself.

One major thing is that I do best with a less cluttered space

to live & dwell in.

That means every once and awhile I need to release things

I have acquired.

Not because i don’t love them.  I have & do.

It’s just that for me to live my best way, it’s simple.

I guess I start ‘acquiring’ when i feel like i am lacking

from the inside and i hope it will make that feeling go

away.

it usually does for a little while but the piece is not the point.

me knowing and being true to me is.

time to let some more things go.

very treasured and special but releasing them

for the universe to place it where it will.

i trust that process.

thank you for the deep joy

each piece brought me while i owned it.

it needs a new home now.

thank you.

I will be listing the items in MELLY’s EBAY STORE. Check it out, peeps!  More items in the next few days.

Taking tonight off in order to watch the ‘Hope for Haiti’ Now telethon.
My heart is heavy for the suffering that Haitian people are experiencing.
They are in my thoughts and prayers.  I have helped some and it
still does not feel enough.
Will pick back up tomorrow with my 365 movie challenge.


Please give if you can.
Stand with Haiti

It’s the big 3-5. Time for birthday wishes…

These are really wacky ceramic salt shakers I got for my birthday last year!

These are really wacky ceramic salt shakers I got for my birthday last year!

Today I turn 35 (Aug 30).  Since “Love & A Photo” is the feature on Sundays, I am posting this a little early.

As a special treat, a friend did a growth card reading: it was Death.  Now at first I was slightly freaked out but then she shared some of what it could mean for this year.

Here’s what the description offered: “This year does not usually mean your own literal death; on the contrary, it is during this year that you can experience the death of an old identity, the ending of certain types of relationships, the closure of certain creative projects or types of work, and simultaneously the desire to initiate and start new relationships, projects, careers, and expression of new parts of oneself.”

This really speaks to me due to how my life has been unfolding lately. Shedding some really old limiting beliefs & thoughts.  Striking out in new areas & embracing the inner adventuress I know is there.

I have many dreams, goals, and things I want to try.  For now, I will be nurturing them inside of my spirit until I feel ready to take steps out & share them.

I’m enjoying (and learning from) the few projects I have started recently:

** “Love & A Photo” Series (my ‘baby’ and the project I am most attached to)

** Moonlight & Moonstones: A Sparkle Note project

** Building this bloggy haven into a place that wonderfully displays truth, warmth, art, magic, love, and giving (all the things that inspire me).

**  Getting more focus on my intentions

As much as I want to rush forward there is some cultivating that needs to happen to make sure these treasures flourish!

Tonight, celebrate with me as I turn that awesome age of 35! If you choose, leave a fabulous birthday wish or thought (for all of you shy peeps, de-lurk just this once. I would love to hear from you.)
