I must apologize. I can’t stay awake this morning or today. I wake up with my head on my desk. Then the computer’s cooling pad is crashing down. Let’s just give up on the dailys’ today. And go for a little bit or this and a little bit of that. I have made a pot of coffee, I hope that helps, lol!

If the wind were a person, we would probably say something unpleasant about him. The more we try to ignore it, the more it seems to intrude, blowing away the cherry blossoms before we have seen them, whipping the lilacs and irises when their exquisite beauty is at its peak. But the wind is like circumstances; it serves a purpose to make the season go forward. It carries seeds of wildflowers and drops them in unexpected places to please us. It helps to unfurl the new leaves and to bring rain. Changes, like the wind, have to be endured at times. But eventually we understand and often like the results. It requires our patience – which gives us time to prepare for what is to come, the same way we have patience with what the Cherokee calls, ga no le s gi, a windy person that blows and goes but means well.

I hear the voices of the grandmothers calling me I hear the voices of the grandmothers calling me
Wake up, wake up, they say, Wake up
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
May the rivers all run clear
May the mountains be unspoiled
May the trees grow tall
May the air be pure
May the earth be shared by all

Hey gang! How are you doing? Did you miss me? I went on a holiday vacation. A friend and I went to Las Vegas for the holidays. We had a super time. I really enjoyed myself. We would gamble all night, sleep the biggest part of the day. When we did get up, we had our daily massages, oh what a feeling! Then we would go to the sauna. After the sauna, we would go get dressed for supper. We did a little dancing to and took in a few shows there. We have a wonderful time, I wish you could have went with us.
I know Lady A hasn’t said too much to me. I guess she is probably waiting till we are by ourselves to read me the riot act. I can’t say I blame her. She looks awful. Poor girl! I believe I was only here for a few days then took off on my vacation. That would be a good enough reason for her to be upset with me. I am a spur of the moment person, she knows that. I am going to get to work before she spurs me where the sun don’t shine..
Have a great day, dearies,
The Countess

Most people do not intend to get caught in a bad cause. We simply get swept along with the tide. It can happen because we want to get ahead fast – but it more likely happiness out of ignorance. It has been said that we have the capacity to make heaven a hell, or a heaven of hell. We’ve been known to do both – though it is a matter of choice. According to the Cherokee, it is plain to see that the place called heaven, ga lv la di-tso sv, is the ultimate choice. We have had to deal with situations that we didn’t choose. They were simply piled on us and we tried to help. But here we must be wise. We can’t allow ourselves to be drawn into a cause that is not our responsibility, and that we may not be well informed enough to handle.

Never quit when the going gets tough. Now is the time to bear down even harder. It would be a shame to quit and find we had almost reached our goal. If a person that can’t swim panics in deep water, he will sink. But if he rolls over and floats for a while, he can get his sense of balance and make the distance easily. The Cherokee believes he can endure, he can work, and he can fight. He will not be a tsv na, turned back. We owe it to ourselves to see what we can accomplish. And it may well be that we can do what others said is not possible.

I Am A Witch When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a “Witch”. Being a witch entails raising my children to be strong people |
|
| Who have a solid sense of personal and social responsibility
Who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in Being a witch means that I am free to be the wonderful creature I am, When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a witch. I am proud to be a witch! It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won’t become anyone else’s idea of what they think I “should” be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. So, try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won’t succeed. And if that makes me a witch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it. I love this, I can call myself a witch now and not feel bad about it! SO MOTE IT BE! |
