Are scientist and the food police focusing their attention on the right villians in our diets? Is there a corporate motive for it?
Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:26 AM EDT
Ok let me preface this by addressing the vegans and folks who don't eat animal products. I ask that you just hear me out and read what I have here. I respect your lifestyle choice and I'm not criticizing or condemning it. I'm not a nutritionist …

Why some parts of OCD aren't so bad -- cleaning is good therapy
Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:03 AM EDT
One of my many "labels" is OCD. For many who deal with this disorder their compulsions are checking and rechecking doors, washing their hands and a myriad of other things. For me, it's cleaning. Cleaning is the one thing I can do when I am seized with anxiety, depres …

Olive Farming and Clinical Trials
Fri Apr 27, 2012 11:14 PM EDT
Clinical trials help make safe medical breakthroughs. There is risk involved for volunteers. I know. I am one of them. One Board of Directors I sit on is at a local research university medical center. As a research institution, they do a lot of clinical trials. Where I fit their …

It's been one year my dear boy Sam
Thu Apr 26, 2012 10:40 AM EDT
Tomorrow marks a year since our dear boy Sam had to get free of his weary body and I tell you, some days the wound is as fresh as the day. Lately I've begun to "see him" a lot in my minds eye. He's not old and tired but a glossy, cheerful young pup and it's usually w …

Revisiting the poet of my youth
Mon Apr 23, 2012 11:58 AM EDT
I am in the process of VERY SLOWLY revisiting writings of my past, ALOT of stuff. I came across a couple of poems that I wrote back in the 80′s I think that I felt were worth sharing. As I’ve mentioned before, some of the stuff from my “teenage angst” era …

Allergies be darned....I'm going for a walk!
Thu Apr 19, 2012 7:31 AM EDT
On Tuesday I couldn't sit still and stay indoors because it was so gorgeous out so I decided to suffer the consequences (allergies). Grabbed my camera and headed out. It was the peak of the day, not my favorite time for taking pictures (sunrise and sunset) but I was …

Photo Friday - backyard quail, rainbow dogs, lazy cats and APHIDS attacking my roses!
Fri Apr 6, 2012 12:13 PM EDT
We have a lovely, cool, sunny, blue skied and crisp aired morning here in North Texas. A nice reprieve from the sticky, gray stuff we've been having! The backs of my legs are wickedly sore from deciding to take out our Scott's no-gas push mower to do our entire lawn …

Star Children
Wed Apr 4, 2012 10:10 AM EDT
April 4, 2012 Here is another short story from my “archives” aka the big ass trunk. This black trunk I’ve been carting around for most of my life has steadily been getting heavier each year (kind of like me lol). In it are my journals back from high school and …

Der Morgen Stadt – The Tomorrow City
Mon Apr 2, 2012 12:06 PM EDT
As a young woman I use to write a lot of short stories. In my digging through my trunk of journals to get them on computer using voice recognition software, I have found a couple that are good enough (in my opinion) to share. My being a ponderer, deep thinker, kind o …

Fri Mar 23, 2012 3:50 PM EDT
Our little point and shoot Canon A580 decided to focus on what we wanted, one of my most favorite sights in nature – dewdrops glistening in the morning sunlight! Captured these in front of my doctor’s office. To show you how cool the Universe is – I …

A visit from Sam and how he and the Universe showed me what true treasure looks like
Thu Mar 22, 2012 1:00 PM EDT
A few minutes ago I had one of those moments, those of you who have loved and lost beloved pets will recognize it. I was taking out the morning coffee grounds for my roses (they love caffeine) and as I knelt down to the place where I've been hoping a rose would revive in h …

Focus your passion into what you want out of life, not what you don't
Wed Mar 21, 2012 11:17 AM EDT
I’m looking out of the window next to my desk at a gorgeous, crisp, cool morning. The sky is clear blue, birds are singing enthusiastically and I’m feeling better after a couple of days of low energy and fighting a bladder infection. Bladder infections…just on …

Spring is budding here in North Texas; intense dream
Sun Mar 18, 2012 11:37 AM EDT
Just a few pictures I've take the past couple of days with the "bud" theme. Almost overnight my baby trees and my oak tree Yolie have started getting their new dresses on AND my beloved roses are starting to get buds too! Saw a knock-out rose in one of our neighborho …

Yesterday it was time to take the fur kids to the vet. For our newly adopted, almost 2 year old female rat terrier named Spot and our two 13 year old female cats. We have May who is a rather “robust” Russian Blue and a domestic long hair named Amber. …

Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:27 PM EDT
When I looked out my windows this evening, I noticed there was a lovely gold/amber filter to the sunset. I decided to take some pictures of some of my favorite things in this kind of light. The dawn and sunset light is my favorite to take pictures in - the mid d …

Gratitude to the new day
Mon Mar 12, 2012 9:35 AM EDT
I found a couple songs I liked this morning and felt they were a fitting way to express my gratitude for the new day. It's gray, wet and chilly out there this morning but it is yet lovely and I am grateful to see it. I was trying to think of something witty to write …

The Persuite of Happiness....my revelation this morning and revisiting The Declaration of Independence
Sat Mar 10, 2012 1:26 PM EST
This morning I had a kind of personal revelation about what the persuite of happiness means to me: every time you deny a human being the persuite of happiness, you in fact deny them their basic right as a human being! Through out the media, blogs, chats, social media even …

Thu Mar 8, 2012 6:47 AM EST
We are supposed to get a bit of “weather” the next couple days here in N. Texas so when the sun peeked out like this and looked so lovely I had to grab my camera and capture it. Seeing the sun through the clouds is one of my favorite sites.

Wed Mar 7, 2012 10:05 AM EST
Here are some images I've taken recently. The first batch are from the CROP I recently attended. A CROP is a gathering of crafters, in this case it was mostly scrap bookers (I was the only wire bender), for a weekend. Everybody brings projects, supplies and the …

The Horror of Native American Boarding Schools
Mon Mar 5, 2012 9:46 AM EST
This article is dedicated to Kavika who has taught me so much about Native American culture. I hope I do the subject justice. In the 1870's, The United States was still at war with the Native Americans who occupied the land before Europeans ever touched shore.

The more "anti" we are....the more we attract it
Fri Mar 2, 2012 10:59 AM EST
I am being introduced to "The Secret", the Law of Attraction and the more I learn and practice it and see that it's true the more I realize that all the passion I keep putting in to be against or anti- things the more I am manifesting what I don't want! The anti-rants mult …

I watched a man die today. It's really not that unusual in my line of work. I've watched many men and women die. As a nurse for the elderly, death is something I have to deal with often. I deal with it by building a wall, being somewhat unemotional and matter of factual, trying …
