    1. Frank, I am honored by your praise. Coming from you means so much to me! Yes Brevity can be a good thing …. my goal is to keep each post under 600 words and then the description on each image I thought tied in nicely. I am very humbled and touched. Bless you!! xoxoxox

  1. I had to laugh at the part about paying attention to the cats’ routine. I understand. We do need to start using ‘we’ and thinking in terms of ‘we’ – this is a great post, Amy. Lovely photos.

    1. And I laughed with you, Dan. I was just speaking about this condition in my life and how a library would be an absolute luxury. I’m always stopping in what I LOVE to do in order to do for others. Yet, I’m a mom, no doubt about it, and moms do sacrifice for their families.

      Agreed with the “we” thinking. This division must stop for it is killing humanity. And I thank you for saying, “great post and lovely photos”. Those words coming from you mean a lot. Thank you, Dan!! xo

  2. Beautiful post, divine photos Amy! Sometimes we just need to be with ourselves enjoying the simple life! I actually stopped reading new information because it took me away from my own inspirations and so hard to understand! I love your spiritual journey it says a lot of what we all go through and yes to us all treating each other as equal! Much love to you amy x

    1. Thank you, Barbara! I’m rethinking this new information yet I’m so thirsty for the knowledge that has been kept from us. I’ll just keep an ear open to what my Guidance tells me.

      In order to move forward as a healed world, people must put down the judgement and hatred and learn how to get along again. That’s all that is to it.

      I wonder if you are receiving any of my comments for I do not get replies from you. I find it odd so I bring this to your attention. Sending you so much love this day!! (((HUGS)))!!! xo

      1. You are abSOULutely correct, Barbara. We are all remembering who we are and within us contains the knowledge of the Universe and Galaxies. I LOVE reading a book that “triggers” something in me which sends ripples of recognition. Or in life itself when someone or something crosses paths with me that somehow brings an A-HA moment. Very incredible experience this thing we call the ascension process. Amazing!!! xoxo

    1. Aw, thanks Tim. The cold snap that we are currently experiencing came in fast when it had been quite warm here. There is still color in my gardens and I found some of it. Hope your day is a good one!!! xoxo

    1. That’s strange, Sheila, because on my screen I can see the text clearly. Your system must be different then mine. If you are using your phone and/or the reader to view my photography, that could be why. I have a custom theme that I pay money for in order for my audience to see my images as big as possible.

      I am thrilled you enjoyed my post. May your day be filled with magic and blessings!! xo

      1. Hmmm ….. I’ll keep your words in mind next time I put text on a photo. I have an eagle eye for colors …. so I thank you for telling me. In your day today go to my blog and view the larger pictures and then get back to me if the same thing is happening.

    2. OK. Sheila, you are absolutely correct regarding looking at my images on the phone. So, from now on when or if I do put text on a picture, I will increase the contrast. I honestly had zero idea of what you were talking about and was puzzled. Thank you for pointing this out to me. xoxox

      1. No worries my dear heart. I had a feeling. I looked on my computer too and am writing a new article to explain (with sample images), because I have a client with a similar issue too!
        I love improving graphics/images and would love to get paid for these kinds of task vs what I do, so here’s me, putting my desire out to the universe! Ha!

      2. I would LOVE to be paid too for all what I do!! I’ve been putting that out to the Universe as well. Walking into these New Times, I will keep on putting out to the Universe my “desires” and keep the “feeling” close in my heart I’ve been heard. Imagine a world where we receive payment of some sort for all the LOVE we put forth and also doing what we LOVE to do. “sighs” What Paradise that would be!! I believe anything is possible within the world that is being birthed now. HUGE SMILE!!! (My imagination is massive and if you only know some of what I dream upon!) LOL

  3. I love your concept of writing on each image…it’s a type of spiritual journaling with your photos as your prompt and inspiration. Beautiful post. There are many paths up the same mountain and many different mountains. 🙏😍

    1. Thank you so much, Avigail! Oh yes there are many paths to the exact same mountain, agreed. If only people would see this and stop pushing their ideologies on others and stop this nonsense “I am right, you are wrong” contempt. I love all, even knowing sometimes I have to step wayyyyyy back in order to gain perspective so I do not hold grievances toward someone. Looking back at my peppered past, I am no one to judge anyone or to think negatively about another either. My goal each and every day is to seek confirmation why someone is acting the way they are and despite the negative behavior displayed, love them. I’ve seen miracles in my own life by consistently reaching out in gentleness and peace and love towards others. When ego raises its head, I firmly say NO! ….

      Sending you so much love, dear friend. May your day be filled with light and love and laughter. (((HUGS)))!! xoxoxoxox

      1. It’s a beautiful experience to learn and grow free from the discord of “I’m right, your wrong” animosity. Stepping back can be our best course of action. Love your self-awareness, openness and vulnerability. A day full of peace, blessings and warm hugs to you. 😍🥰

  4. I love your thoughts on the photos. They are so well-fitting, Amy. And talking about same-sex marriage, my sister and her girlfriend are going to marry next July. I am very happy for her.

    1. Thank you for your feedback, Erika. I honestly couldn’t believe that each and every image I could see as an aspect of my Journey. That is how I am directed on my Path most of the time not knowing why I’m doing what I am yet that is what I’m supposed to be doing.

      As for your sister, God bless her girlfriend and her. We are loved for exactly who we are and anything but love from us is IMO inappropriate. I’m happy for them as well. Do I understand the lifestyle? No. Yet they do not deserve anything less than love. Speaking of ….. so much love to you!! xoxoxoxo

      1. Exactly, we don’t need to understand, we only need to accept and respect. That’s all! I don’t understand many life-styles of heterosexual couples either… so what😄

  5. Yes Amy, we do indeed need our opposites so that we can appreciate them both. And after a delightful brain storming chat on the last post…just an ice cream by a nice lake or stream somewhere is definitely now a priority. Enjoy the wander dear lady, may it create a nice vacuum for more photographs. Oh, and these photographs were delightful too. Some were a bit hard to see the writing, I’m wondering if because of the resolution on so many different computer monitors and the computers that drive them, it just needs a solid contrast between the background and what you are writing I suppose to cover all contingencies. Regardless, a great share kind lady xox 😀❤️🙏🏽

    1. Hi, Mark. Sheila earlier had mentioned it was hard to see the text and I was like “what are you talking about?” She has since written a post about contrast which helped immensely and next time when I do this very technique, I promise you I will be much approved. Sheila however gets the credit.

      And as for that ice cream cone after that brain sizzling post of mine, sounds good to me. LOL Whew!! I can only visit those deep crevices once in a while and then I come up for air for a reprieve. In my younger days I could sustain a longer deep dive but today, nope. I would rather play thank you. Just following my heart and who knows, inclusive of me, where I will end up.

      Warmer temps are heading our way THANK GOODNESS and I have every intention of going out with my cameras. Sending you so much love today, Mark. xoxoxox

    1. Thank you, John! I’m glad you could read the title on that one. That one in particular spoke volumes to me for that is how I see my life ….. truly protected as I walk my paths of peace.

      I’ve been getting lessons on how to better my graphics on an image. Some of the colors were really difficult to see according to some of my followers who were honest enough to tell me. Sheila gets the credit for educating me. She even wrote an entire post explaining contrast, most of which I do know, yet due to my “tunnel vision” in matching the colors of the flowers with the intention of harmony, I did not take into consideration other aspects of the graphics. So, next time will be better.

      Hope your day has been a great one thus far!! xo

  6. Love your last paragraph in this post Amy! I just wish one day we are thinking in this way. World will be much much better place to be for everyone where love and respect each other are the core!

    1. YellowCable, I consider my last paragraph the most important one. So much has been done to separate “we the people of the world” and darn it, I’ve been living in such a way as to bring those barriers down. All of us are responsible for loving each other, accepting one another for who we are. It warms my heart tremendously that you understand this as well. Good for you!! xo

    1. BIG smile from me, Anita, when I read your last sentence. Yes we are ONE species and it was never more evident when I studied anatomy and physiology in college and saw the exact same miracle in everyone within our bodies. Skin may be different colors yet we are still one species.

      And another smile on your compliment on my post. Thank you ever so much!!! Much love to you this day! xo

  7. “ Expanding consciousness is magnificent and marvelous and all that, but there comes a time when pulling back is an absolute must in order for the new to assimilate and to be understood.” So true, dear Amy. Just recently, I retreated to the shallows and asked myself how deep I should allow myself to go. The depths are mesmerizing, BUT, as you said, there is a point where we become too deep to be able to relate to those many who prefer to hang out on the comfy beach. Sad that we have to consider this, but we do need to be able to interact and be relatively understood. It gives me comfort to know that I’m not alone in this.

    It’s not easy to evade those pesky divisive labels. More seem to be churned out every day, I call them weapons of mass division. But they are useless against genuine authenticity. 😎 Thank you for being simply, gloriously “Amy”.

    Love, Julie 💖

    1. And I thank YOU, Julie, for being simply, gloriously Julie. It seems of late that even with the intention of staying in the shallow end of the pool, I am witnessing phenomenon in Nature that has my head spinning all because what I see makes no sense at all. Or, I cross paths with a soul sister and deep again we go, talking about subject matter that most would label as “crazy talk”. It seems I’m on this search for deep revelations. Even while attempting to find a “decent” movie to watch to chill, the Universe had other ideas so I could not find one. What this “push” is all about I do not know. At times my head feels about to burst yet the deep dives continue. I’ve stopped attempting to figure anything out learning instead to just go with the flow.

      Yes I finally arrived to answer your comment. My life = whirlwind right now. I’m like what???? yet the momentum keeps me in the fast lane until that momentum decides to gear down. Amazing Journey I am on, one I honestly did not see coming. Oh yes I knew I was on a Journey yet what is transpiring now, has me collecting flies with mouth wide open. LOL

      Sending you much love this day!!! Stay strong of both Mind and Spirit. I “feel” your Light and it is Great. Despite the dark some of us sparkle. You are such a one. 💙🦋🌟
