In a world gone dark
with ever creeping shadows
filled with destruction and war
the Light still shines forth
and as this Light intensifies
as dawn into day,
those dark shadows
will be no more.
For where there is Light
no darkness shall be
as night surrenders to day.

Wonderful poem of hope in the dismal conditions that surround us. Beautiful photos. I haven’t seen Monarchs yet. The Viceroys and Queens are coming through now.

We shall rise as people see the power is truly in THEIR hands. All we have to do is together say no and begin to grab hold all that is good and true so we can live the way we were meant to live. Yes I do dream and I won’t stop. There are not many Monarchs here so I made sure I did capture one. Hope you had a great day today, Tim. xo

Don’t I know. I live in NY. Things have gotten WAY out of control with a dictator on the throne. I’m not apologizing for those words. People here are really hurting! Our state is being destroyed.

Thank you so much, Kamal. What a lovely comment. This is a shot of our backyard and prior to taking this picture, I saw how the sun was shining on the bare limbs and it just looked so cool. The next time I saw the same scenario, I made sure I took a picture of it. SO happy you enjoyed this post. Hope your day was a really good one! xo

Hi Amy, Thank you for sharing words from your heart! Beautiful. I love the photo too – that building is great and the effect on the trees you creatively crafted really give the scene a great look. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend!! Much love, Donna

Hi, Donna! You are so welcome. That is a shot of our backyard and our barn. I saw how the sun was hitting bare tree limbs and just knew I had to capture that scene. And I did. The sun is no longer hitting that area now due to the difference in the angle of the sun. So no procrastination is most definitely not a good thing especially when it comes to photography. My weekend? I closed the door with my prior hair salon, responding to an email the owner (friend) sent to me and I just hit her with a ton of facts how she is acting unconstitutionally and obeying a man who has committed mass murder. No one knows the law but at least I am trying to. Governors I found out just today (thank you, Donna) do not have the legal right to fine these businesses as they are threatening to if they don’t line up with what they demand. I am told that not only will they be fined but their licenses be pulled if they don’t comply. Those are lies. Yet to find the proof in the miles of legal pages of laws and what not, is so not easy to do. And of course the truth is very well hidden. Anyways ….. just keeping the faith that the Golden Turn is a heartbeat away. Much love to you, dear friend!! xo

Wow. Absolutely breathtaking my friend. I pray the light begins to saturate the darkness of night. There has been entirely too much to grieve over in recent days. Nevertheless, there is still hope, even when the challenge is to keep it alive!

Thank you, Holly! The light has begun to saturate the darkness …. we just have to know where to look. And yes the grieving process is very important in order to move forward. We’ve all been traumatized. I carry hope and faith tight in my heart and on those very difficult days, I withdraw until I feel strong once again.
Sending all my love to you, dear friend. I am well, I am healthy, I am strong. I pray the same for you! I am allowing no one to take me away from me! I compromised once out of “desperation” and that I paid dearly for. No. Not again! BIG (((HUGS)))!!! xo

Yes, Sue, WE ARE THE LIGHT. I could not agree with you more! I’ve been brave for years yet this I can tell you as fact. Within the last few months, my courage has skyrocketed. I am just not willing to allow others to control me, to tell me that I am not intelligent enough to make up my own mind, and to go along with the horrendously stupid orders that violate not only are freedoms, but our health. If others do not agree with me, that is OK because this is what the First Amendment is all about. FREE SPEECH. We can agree to disagree without hating one another! But don’t for one minute attempt to talk me down or cram down my throat something I do not believe in. I will shine and I will not tolerate anyone to snuff out my light, nor will I allow anyone to harm me. It’s been such a struggle for me personally unable to do my PT at my gym up until this present day, and because of that despite me doing my best to keep fit, I honestly don’t know if I will be able to turn my body around prior to where I was months ago. For this, deliberate harm being done to me, I will in of itself, NOT back down! And, Sue, as God is my witness, I remain strong, healthy and out of a wheelchair! Much love and light to you!! (((HUGS))) xoxoxo
