" Look not from the mind, but from the soul. For the Life that is coming is already before us, waiting to open up the world. Just look more closely. Find the eyes to see."
~From the First Insight
What are you holding on to? Forgiveness releases the burdens of pain, hate, struggle and sorrow.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
- Herm Albright
When you are lonely, empty and afraid, remember this:
An Angel who loves and cares for you is somewhere looking for the medicine you need.
Look for the medicine messages your angel sends you in it's absence...
in a rainbow, a dew-sparkling spider web, a falling feather, or a snowflake, or a strangers smile.
Stephanie June Sorrell
My messages tend to be in the shape of a heart.. whether it is a cloud a rock or just about anything.. when i am lonesome, fearful, worrying or just need the assurance.. I find a special heart.. It never seems to fail, I only need to be aware and look for my angels medicine.
I thank my special Angel...as this means so much to me.

"Keep Love in your Heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when
> the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings
> warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring." Oscar Wilde
Life is too short for drama & petty things,
so kiss slowly, laugh insanely,
Love truly and forgive quickly
"Love and Kindness are never wasted, they always make a difference, they bless the one who receives them and they bless YOU the giver"
~Barbara DeAngelis~
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it .
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by. - Lucille Ball "

I am Happily Married with 3 Grown Children and one Daughter in law whom i dearly love and am extremely proud of.
I recently learned that I will be a Grandmother for the 1st time. I could not be happier about this.
My kids have all done very well for themselves and did not let the time or change and hardships bring them down. They have found their inner strength and grown into wonderful adults. This is something which could not be taught but had to be learned on their own.
I moved to Nevada in 2000, where I was able to get back on my feet again. I am eternally thankful to my dearest friend for helping me in so many ways. One of which was just getting me out the central area of California. By standing by me and supporting me even when I am sure I really must have drove him crazy as I adjusted to my new life.
I was introduced to a wonderful man though a co-worker, a sort of blind date. She was insistent that we should meet.. and I guess she was right. We were married a few months later.
We have recently moved back to California but to the foothills of California not the central valley... (there are too many painful memories for me in that area.)
We live near my childhood home town, which is somewhere very near and dear to my heart with many happy memories.
It is a beautiful area with trees and water.. and those who know me know how much that means to me. We live near the entrance to the Yosemite National Park. I can not tell you how wonderful it is to wake up to the sounds of singing birds, to see the deer coming near our home to see beautiful tall green pine trees all around. Some times i feel like i am in a dream.. but what a wonderful dream this is.
The only thing missing is my children. I really wish i could share this with them. Even tho i know that country life is not for them they prefer the busy city life... they would enjoy it here for a visit. Maybe one day that part of my dream will too become a reality.

I am a Reiki Master. Reiki is a form of energy healing. See my blog for more information regarding this or see farther down in the Reiki section of my page here.
my focus is on Natural healing and the arts of Natural healing.
I enjoy learning something new within the Medical / Holistic healing fields..
I believe that the old ways are the best ways.
Our world has become way too over Medicated! It is time to go back to the simpler more natural ways which were intended.
It seems that the medications today have way to many side effects. Do you ever really listen to the commercials? Take a medication for sniffles and you will have the side effect of messing your pants... OK ok maybe not that drastic but in some ways very close to that. A lot of times the side affects are worse than the cure.. or, so that they say cure or lead you to believe a cure.. it just is something which covers up the problem or lesses the severity of it but DOES NOT CURE...... and the side effects could cause you even worse long term problems!
Yes there is a time where prescribed medications are needed and I do agree with that. Just be cautious, do not be blindly lead to take medications which you know nothing about or what the side effects will be. And be extremely cautious to medications which cause you to become addicted to them.
I strongly and proudly support the military! So if you do not, don't even bother trying to push your thoughts or views down my throat.. It just will not work! and if you do not like how our country is.. Don't let the door hit you in the ..................... on the way out!
I support our President! and no matter what your political stand is I feel that it is atrocious for anyone to show blatant disrespect for our President. Call him Mr President or President Bush.. but do not call him Mr Bush.. At least show respect.. Think before you speak!
and Vote.. if your unhappy with the current way things are now.. Vote at your next election.. and Vote wisely. .use your head and do not listen to just what your news is telling you.. can't you see they are giving you false views? The media is paid television..Make your own decisions! Do not follow the crowd blindly! Be a leader not a follower.. Do your own research!
Yes freedom of speech is our right.. The right that those before us fought and lost their lives for... Use it Wisely!
Yes.. I can be very opinionated! but I also know when to be quite and listen.. sometimes if we just listen we learn a lot.
You can NOT force others to believe as you do no matter how LOUD or Forceful that you try to be.
They will still believe what they want to...
So remember this:
Agree to Disagree it is the most logical thing to do. Just think how wonderful and more peaceful the world would be if people would just do this.
Also... Do not judge others.. or you will soon find your self or a dearly loved one in the same predicament.
If you have not walked in their shoes, you can not possibly understand the reasoning for the decisions for which they have made. It is easy to judge others when you do not have all the answers..
But do you truly have the right?
You too are most likely being judged your self by someone else.. Are they right? are you wrong? hmmmmm Give it some thought...
It is better to love.. than to lose..once they are gone you may never
again have the chance to tell them how much you loved them.. and that pain will be with you forever.
I am me.. I am Individual, unique and do not fit within any molds.
So do not assume you know me. Time changes us all.. and hopefully for the better as we learn our life's lessons.
You know what they say about assuming..
Have a Wonderful day.. Cherish Life.. and Live it !
We only pass this way one time.. well unless we are reincarnated..but then thats another story...
Holidays, Ancient Religion or other Intersting Tidbits
As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.
These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.
Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even when we are apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in the heart.
This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near.
'We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.'
-Tim McGraw
Life is a learning lesson.. and sometimes those lessons really hurt.. so learn them quickly or you will find yourself reliving those same pains over and over again until you get it though your thick head..
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
-Oscar Wilde
(or at least try to forgive them. If you can not find a way to forgive them or they are just plain EVIL.. Stay away from them!
But do remember most likely you too have someone who thinks that you have wronged them, wouldn't you want to be forgiven?)
Warning...................
Be Mindful to those who are Evil at heart who profess their friendship, love, loyalty and devotion. There are some who will speak bad of others and very slyly tell stories or change truths in order to hurt another using you as their tool.
Knowing full what they are doing.
Step back and think..... What was this person like before this person poisoned your mind. Were they good hearted? Helpful to other? Were they there for you?
Sadly there are those people out there.. Look back to your foundation! Your morals your values and do not be fooled. Think about it, what are their intentions? Do they have a good reason for speaking ill of another or are they doing it because they feel in some twisted way that they were wronged?
Sadly I personally came across one of these people.. the most evil of all...............................
Do not lie.
Lies always come out..Sometimes it takes time but believe me.. your day will come when your lies will be reveled and the pain which you have caused by them!
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
None of us are perfect! If you think you are.. you just do not realize how very wrong you are!
Spread a bit of happiness everywhere you go and with all you know.
Do not focus on negatives.. Move on.. Let it go!
Negative energy will draw and feed off negative energy.. as is the like with positive energy.. So if you want a more positive happy life, surround yourself with Positive energy and think positively..
Do not KNOWINGLY do evil to others or cause them harm as it will be magnified 3 fold back to you.
When people do evil things to you..
Sit back..
wait before you act as
What goes around Comes around..
and remember this:
Smile, it makes people wonder what your up to. Not only that it is contagious, Smile and others will too.
Try this..
Walk in a room all grumpy and negative
.. the whole room will be come this way..
Then walk into a room happy and cheerful.. soon that room will become Happy and Cheerful and a much more pleasant place to be.
Interests & Hobbies:
Natural healing, Energy healing, Crochet and other Arts and Crafts.
Gold Prospecting, Fishing, Glorified Camping.. ( camping in a cabin. or now... a 5th wheel.)
My newest part time hobby is.. taking photos. I have lots to learn in this area and most likely will end up taking a class when time allows.
Enjoying life, every day is a blessing, Cherish it.
TV Shows:
LOST, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, House, CSI shows, Days of our life's, Monk, Pushing Daisies, Desperate housewives, Journeyman, Monk, Passions, Phenomenon, Discovery channel, History channel,America's Psychic Challenge, and so many more.... When i have the time to watch them..

On our weekends what we usually do is have pizza and a movie night. We have netflix so there is never a shortage of movies to watch.. even without that we have a very large selection of DVDs to choose from.
Somewhere in Time, Practical Magic, Rose Red, Private Benjamin, Garfield, RV, City of Angels, Pirates of the Caribbean, plus many more..
Again I am very diverse in what i watch.. I love scifi type / Thriller movies as well as the Love story and action packed movies.
I really do not like movies that make me cry.. there are already too many things to cry about in life.. why add to it.
Favorite People You Know:
My favorite people are the ones who live, love and laugh. My family are my most prised whether they realize this or not.. In time maybe they will.
Favorite Celebrities:
Nicolas Cage, Bruce Willis, David Blaine, Chris Angel,
Will add more as they come to mind.. I do have many favorites
Anything regarding natural healing, energy healing, Reiki, Spirituality and Sylvia Browne's books are among my favorite must read selections.
WE have a large selection and variety of books on just about any subject you can think of..So never is there a shortage of reading material in our home.
Currently I am way to busy to find the time to read. But come winter I am sure i will pick up one of my beloved books and start reading as i sit near my fireplace during the cold winter days. I have many books waiting to be read. The must be a way to add a library in this RV.. lol I just have not found the right corner as of yet.. but give me time and i will.
My Favorite Places
Columbia is a former California Gold Rush boom town that lives on as a state-preserved historic park and a National Historic Landmark that preserves the original, gold-rush-town flavor of the town, once dubbed the "Gem of the Southern Mines." Founded in 1850 by Mexican gold miners, it is in Tuolumne County, California, United States. Although only about 2,000 people now live in this region near Sonora, California, at its height it was California's second-largest city. It was even considered briefly as a site for the state capitol of California. In 1854 the bulk of the town burned down and was re-built with brick and iron structures that survive to this day. Columbia's main street, part of the Columbia State Historic Park, is closed to automobile traffic but open to horses and carriages, as well as pedestrians.
Hāna is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County, Hawaiʻi, United States. The population was 709 at the 2000 census. Hāna is located at the eastern end of the island of Maui and is one of the most isolated towns in the state. It is reached mainly via the Hāna Highway, a long, winding, 52 mile long highway along Maui's northern shore.
Near Hāna are several swimming holes in the Haleakalā National Park.
