Ok, there is one in every crowd, lol! I tried to warm everyone up yesterday and royal messed it up. So today, let’s face it, Baby, It’s Cold Outside……
Have a very blessed Wednesday. Stay in and stay warm,
Luv & Hugs,

Guardians of the watchtower of the west, we do summon, stir, and
call thee up to protect us in our rite. Come forth from the rainbow hued
morning dew that covers the fields, and is soon to be frost. Asperge us with
your diadems and water our deepest roots that we may find peace of mind. So
mote it be!
If life has been good, today it can be good in a new and exciting way. If life has been difficult, today you can move beyond the difficulties into a more rewarding and fulfilling experience.
Whatever may have been before, today is different. And you can choose, right now, to make it different in a good way.
Your future is determined not by your past, but by your expectations. Today you can set those expectations at the highest level you can imagine.
If you expect to be a victim, that’s what you’ll end up being. Yet today is different, and today you can do much, much better.
Today is filled with great challenge, and with even greater promise. Make the decision to step up to the challenge, and to fulfill the highest promise of this day.
Today is different, and is yours to live with purpose, discipline, enthusiasm and joy. Today is different, and you can make it the best one yet.
— Ralph Marston
There is nothing that can make you happy if you choose not to be. And there is nothing that can prevent you from being happy when happiness is your choice.
There is no need to delay the joy of living until some future, imagined, ideal time when conditions are perfect. Now is when you are living your life, and now is your opportunity to live with genuine joy.
No position or possession or experience or set of circumstances will make your life good. Your life already is filled with magnificent goodness that’s yours to be experienced to whatever degree you allow.
Worrying about the future achieves nothing other than to rob you of joy in the present. Feel the wonder of your being, right here, right now, and fill your awareness with its richness.
Instead of looking for reasons to be envious or resentful, see in each moment all the opportunities for joy. Instead of avoiding or delaying what must be done, step enthusiastically forward each time you have a chance to make a difference.
Joy is a beautiful, life-affirming choice that you can always make no matter what. Choose to live with joy, and give yourself a life that’s truly rich.

Good morning dear friends! I hope you are having a super fantastic day! Have you grabbed your WOTC Ribbon yet? If you haven’t, please do so. We need all the help we can get for this campaign to be a success. Also I talked to the lady that wanted to do a commercial about us. I will give you the details when I am not half asleep (sorry!). I slept so good last night, I am still in sleep mode I believe.
Well I am going to run and get busy before I fall asleep on the keyboard.
Have a great day!
Luv & Hugs,
Lady A
Today is a new and unique day, so fill it with new and unique experiences. Today brings valuable possibilities, so use it to create meaningful value.
If you’ve fallen into a rut, this is your opportunity to climb out and to give yourself a fresh, new perspective. If your dreams have seemed beyond your reach, this is your chance to take another look.
Yes, life can be difficult and painful and mercilessly unfair. Don’t assume, though, that any of it has to hold you back.
Even when you’ve failed a thousand times, you always have the ability to succeed. Even when just about every factor is working against you, you can still work your way forward.
Today is a day to do just that. Today is when you can reconnect with your most treasured, positive purpose, and recommit to making it a central part of your life.
Now is when you can transform both the joys and the disappointments into pure energy. Now is when you can use that energy to bring new and meaningful beauty to your life and to your world.
— Ralph Marston
This is a precious and irreplaceable day in your unique, one-of-a-kind life. Make sure to make good and worthy use of it.
This is your chance to live with richness, meaning and fulfillment. This is when you can joyfully express the outstanding beauty and value of who you are.
This is your time to imagine the very best of what is possible, and then to make it happen. This is when you can give real, meaningful substance to your life.
Today is the culmination of all you’ve ever been. Today is the beginning of the best that you can be.
In this unique moment be true, be honest, be authentic, and be joyful. Let your life come more fully to life than ever before.
This is your day, your moment to live, so do it with passion and purpose and love.
— Ralph Marston
Any recent trouble in a relationship may be defused today, thanks in part to your use of tact and wisdom. You’re a person of depth and clarity today, and you may even have some strong humanitarian urges. It’s a day of shifting priorities and enjoying your status as a student of life. Don’t commit to long term plans just yet.

I must apologize for running so late today. I decided to have a relaxing day today. Personally, I think I deserve it, lol! (of course I would). I finished putting all the details on the “Gemstone and Herb of the Month.” I started to write you a long, boring story but you got lucky, I deleted it, lol!
Anyway, I am going to get busy, before you replace me!
Have a great evening,
Love ya,
Lady A
I hope everyone is having a great day, today! I know it is fantastic here. For the last couple of days, it has been nothing but rainy and gloomy. I don’t know about you, but the gloomy weather messes with my emotions. I get draggy and I don’t want to do a darn thing. Except this time was different, I got my days and nights screwed up. That is why the posting has been so poor. I found myself falling asleep at the computer. Then I would get so sleepy, I couldn’t do anymore. So I would have to get up and go to bed. But I would wake up at night and clean the heck out of the house. My husband would ask me what I was doing up at 2:30 in the morning cleaning the shower out. If the world would cooperate and go on my schedule, I would love it, lol! You know everybody sleeping during the day and prowling at night. But I have always been a night person and it doesn’t take much for me to get turned around. I wanted to let you know why the posting had been off and also to apologize for it. I won’t say it won’t happen again because I know it will. Just the next time you will know what is going on.
I love you all to pieces. Have a great day!
Lady A
General Meaning: Throughout various cultures and political systems of the world, the well has served as a universal symbol for that which sustains life and provides a constant, inexhaustible source of life-giving nourishment for mankind.
Like the well, human nature is the same around the world. The passage of time does not change its essential dimensions, nor take anything away. Still, just as a well can be deepened to produce clearer, cleaner water, so can we enrich our lives by delving deeply within — into our natural selves, or souls.
Beware of shallow thinking. Like a little learning, it can be dangerous. The image of the well suggests that along with depth comes clarity. Be patient, and penetrate both your problems and your own nature to the core. If you do not lower your bucket to the depths, you’re very likely to come up empty. When greater depth is desired, a lessening of speed is often required
General Meaning: Holding together brings success. But high-level teamwork is achieved only when the right players on the right team share a clear goal at the right time. A team forms its relationships in a delicate manner; chemistry is brewed in the vat of shared experiences. Latecomers cannot share the same depth of union as earlier members. Whole-hearted commitment is required for team success.
All successful teams have a shared vision and a leader. If a team’s leadership is up to the challenge, the team will prosper. In personal and business affairs, just as in basketball, it is hard to win without a strong center.
Accept the structure of the team or partnership if you wish to receive its benefits — otherwise go off on your own. In holding together with others, cling to your own principles, but be willing to subordinate your personal desires for the good of the group. Perhaps you are contemplating becoming a leader of some group; remember that to become the center of influence binding people together is not only a considerable challenge but a serious responsibility. Assess yourself carefully first to see if you are up to the task. If not, it would be better not to commit rather than to go forward without proper preparation.
