This story begs to be told before the early Spring adventures begin. What I witnessed in our January blizzard is perhaps one of the most incredible feats of bravery and courage I’ve ever seen. In winds up to 65 mph (103km) with snow blasting every which way birds … hundreds if not thousands … of … Continue reading Courage Personified
When Light becomes greater than the dark within the same existence of space, all dark shall be seen, in both the individual and the world. Humanity’s consciousness is becoming brighter and lighter and consequently, those things of the dark that desire to be in the dark, are no longer. As a result, the dark recoils … Continue reading Light
I love and feed two feral male barn cats who live next door to us. I have fallen in love with them both. Mr. Blackie allows me the privilege of touching, kissing, and head bumping him and even oh wow picking him up to cradle in my arms. He goes limp and snuggles right in. … Continue reading Up, Down, Back Up
Respect, honor, and acceptance of others many times over are no where in sight. How some lord (act in a superior and domineering manner towards someone) to purposefully subjugate and demean is in my opinion behavior seen in a bully or a very insecure person. The corrupt systems that have been allowed to thrive that … Continue reading Fragmentation and Division = Disunity
In the times we are living in I would say it is imperative we learn how to respect one another. When kindness is married to respect, powerfully we can stitch together our world’s great tragic rift. Respect doesn’t mean, however, we convert to how someone else thinks, acts, or lives. That would be sadistically counter-productive. … Continue reading Something Called Respect
Part 1. Again I was thrust back into hell awakening shaking and soaking wet terrified straight down to my toes suffocating as if there was no way out OMG! there is no way out! I prayed, “Increase my protection, God! I am so grateful to You, I must have more protection now!” The fear abated … Continue reading From Hell To Heaven
As I said in my last post, my latest adventure has been creating a gym for myself with a goal of mimicking what I used to do at my gym. The project began when my Chiropractor a few weeks ago gave me a 12 pound (5.4kg) bar to work out with at home and from … Continue reading Back And Biceps
Juve Red-Tail Hawk Everywhere I walked I was deliberately stopped for you see others, desperate for conversation, wanted to talk to me. Not one person that day had mask or gloves on. Now if you are out and about taking a walk in a park, all you have to do is have binocs around … Continue reading Freedom
Two days ago, New York State law was changed making it mandatory everyone must wear a mask while outdoors. Of all the idiotic things to mandate! Well, evidently some doctors spoke up immediately stating how unhealthy it is to wear a mask for people who run. That very same day at about 8pm, the law … Continue reading Common Sense
We all deserve to be Loved for exactly who we are not what others want us to be or, regardless of how different we are. A problem does arise, however, when someone does not know the true meaning of Love hence acting from a place that is ugly and dark. How then do … Continue reading But How To Love?
I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. While at the gym, a young man asked me if I was using the shoulder shrug free-weight machine that I was standing near. He was not joking. I pointed at this machine which had 140 pounds [63.5 kg] of weight on it and asked, “You … Continue reading This, That, And The Other
When you believe and think something is impossible to do not even attempting to do what you think is impossible to do you will have cheated yourself out of a golden opportunity to prove to yourself you can [possibly] master the impossible when you do try and then to your surprise oh my gosh(!) succeed, you … Continue reading Powerful Thoughts
A portion of the Love Dance I witnessed ‘tween two Flickers ~~~~~~ Walking in the pouring rain yesterday paid off as I witnessed a Love Dance between two Flickers. I followed their mating calls through the forest, hoping hoping hoping I would see them. For some reason, these birds do not easily stand out and … Continue reading Love Is In The Air
This post was supposed to be a double feature. Then I changed my mind, as only I’m apt to do especially when it comes to what I publish here. For those of you who are panting for flowers, know that my next post will show you the colors I found in my gardens. But first, … Continue reading First Experiment
Not too long ago, I walked away from my cellphone. Hubby converted our wireless in our home to hardwire ethernet and I could no longer use my cellphone except via DATA. Research shows the health risks of using wireless and cellphones outweigh their convenience. So now, I use my cellphone only for texting purposes (few … Continue reading Functionalism Versus Gentleness
Before I get to my short story today I just want to take a wee moment to show you what happens when my auto focus locks in on the wrong tree and my shutter button finger (oops) jumps the gun. Sure enough I got natta. 😂 I never did get the Downy Woodpecker I was attempting to … Continue reading Yes Some Do Stay
In a recent conversation with a friend, I made a half-hearted promise that I would photograph the full moon that happened this past Wednesday, October 24th. Unfortunately, that night was too overcast to see much of anything. The following night, however, I was able to get over 100 pictures of this moon before the cloud … Continue reading Full Moon
“Honey, I need your help.” Hearing those words I inwardly groaned, ’cause I know how complicated matters can get with Hubby on a job. “How long will this job take?” Hubby replied, “15- 20 minutes”. Awh-right! No job of his to date [34 years] has ever been that fast. Taking a deep breath I said, … Continue reading Hold Steady The Light
How tough it’s been to get here at WP. So I thank all of you for your patience with my “late” responses to your comments, when it happens. I’ve got a lot going on right now and no one but me can do what needs to be done. I have 2 one-on-ones babies. Both … Continue reading The Challenge
*Turn phones horizontal/visit blog to view FULL SCREEN* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I took a day off from all the heavy gardening I’ve been doing to go to Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve Park, taking with me my Canon camera and 100-400mm lens. Most of what I shot ended up in the trash bin. This wildlife photography is a … Continue reading Wildlife Break
You remind me that Love truly exists even on those days it does not seem to … Thank goodness! ~~~~ You show me in all your Perfection many are the Paths to the ONE … So chill … ~~~~ You show me the way how not to hide when life threatens to hurt … I … Continue reading Education
(Picture taken at Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve Park) Have I ever had a few interesting days! I few of you may have asked …. Hey, has anyone seen or heard from Amy? If they would answered in the affirmative, I must have a twin running around someplace, because it was not me. I definitely was … Continue reading Truth About What Matters (2 IMAGES)
Seeing this picture, you probably asked, what in the world? This is not the usual for Amy. LOL Now just hold on because a beautiful post is about to unfold right before your eyes all centered around a cable connector. That is what this picture is for those of you who don’t frequent a gym. This … Continue reading The Cable Connector
Witnessing abuse of power and the resulting effects it has, tends to get me very angry. My Irish is irked. I recently saw how people who have been coming to a place of worship for years to receive Solace and Peace in years past, are now receiving unending lectures that go on and on regarding … Continue reading Recipe For Desolation (4 IMAGES)
