World Pulse

I just found this wonderful magazine that is all about women of the world.  I truly believe that women will be the catalyst to save the world by the deeds we do. This magazine shows us the possibilities before us.  Please visit the website World Pulse to find something that interests you in your heart of hearts.

A free and easy website builder

Gary Reef, also know as Capricornartist73 just created a new website here .  He also has a link to Weebly on his site.  I just really wanted to plug Gary here because I have enjoyed his Ning site and all his wonderful videos on You Tube.  He is very creative and cute too!  But seriously, he's creative, bold and generous.  I have learned so much from Gary, and love the techniques that he shares with us.

Solar Winds

                         This is a very interesting article from Inhabitat Weekly that talks about a technology that can produce a 100 billion times the earth's energy needs. Not only is the article interesting but also very practical. It's about time that somebody decided to do something smart!

Herbs and Spices

Here is a great article about some the great benefits of herbs and spices.  This article includes some of my favorites herbs and spices and Web MD is a wonderful resource for a lot of health issues. Enjoy!

Eight-year-old Rocks Art World

8-year-old painting prodigy is new art world star By JILL LAWLESS, Associated Press Writer Jill Lawless, Associated Press Writer Fri Aug 13, 8:54 am ET HOLT, England – He's Britain's most talked-about young artist. His paintings fetch hefty sums and there's a long waiting list for his eagerly anticipated new works. It has all happened so quickly — he's still getting used to the spotlight — and Kieron Williamson fidgets a little when he's asked to share his thoughts on art. "Cows are the easiest thing to paint," said Kieron, who has just turned 8. "You don't have to worry about doing so much detail." Horses, he says, are "a lot harder. You have to get their legs right, and you have to make their back legs much bigger than their front.&q

New Series

I was thinking...oh oh! Well!!!! Anyway, I was thinking that it would be such fun to post some the great websites I am continually running across on my virtual travels online. I have in the past posted these lovely jewels in private emails to my varied friends who have a multitude of wide-ranging interests. So! I thought I would peruse the website or blog and glean out something of interest for all of us. This way I would have a way to keep track of the really good sites and be able to call them up whenever I wanted. So, here is one I found from Milliande's wonderful site that Vera from the UK passed on to us. Vera was inspired by Collecting Sacred Moments, an article by Annie B. Bond on the website Care2 make a difference. Now, what to call this series! Any ideas?

Water, Consciousness & Intent: Dr. Masaru Emoto

I really wanted to share this interview with as many people as possible and also share Dr. Masaru Emoto's prayer for the Gulf of Mexico. We need to change the vibrations to love and gratitude and stop the angry and negative vibrations surrounding the entire spill fiasco. Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed. Here is Dr. Emoto's prayer for the Gulf of Mexico: "I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures . . . I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. " Please say this prayer again and ag

We're still working it!

We are still working on Cheryl Richardson's Life Makeovers; 52 Practical and Inspiring Ways to Improve Your Life One Week at a Time.  We just finished up Week 6 and I have to say I've had many insights.  These insights are about me, my life, nature and the universe!  I'm having a great time struggling and rejoicing in my life past, present and future.  I've never been happier to be who I am and where I am at this moment knowing full well that all could change in an instance and I'd still be feeling alright with it all.  Now that's a miracle!  I want to say thank you to the ladies who are on this journey with me, you make it rich. Peace, Ellie

Tempe AZ, April 2010

Well, I'm home from a wonderful visit with my daughter and grandchildren in the desert. It was a great trip and a wonderful visit. The weather was quite perfect, with sunny days, puffy clouds and a cool breeze.  Just about the time you thought you were too warm a breeze and cloud would come to your rescue.  We tried to do all the things that are free in the Tempe area.  So we took a lot of hikes in the early mornings to awesome places.  Tonto National Forest, where the Saguaro reign supreme. We saw multitudes of wildlife and the cacti were ablaze with color, the desert is so alive.  Hole in the rock, Tempe Town Lake and Papago Park, all fabulous.  In the afternoons we went to several Museums. We went to Tempe History Museum and learned a thing or two about the area.  Information starting from the very early days, prehistoric days right up to what is happening currently in this area.  We made a Tempe Town Post Card, it was an interactive software program tha

Life Makeovers

I'm reading Cheryl Richardson's Life Makeovers ; 52 practical & inspiring ways to improve your life one week at a time. The book is divided into 52 weeks, so there is a chapter for each week.  All the chapters are very short and sweet. Cheryl Richardson has divided the chapters into 3 easy parts, first the main focus, second the "Take Action Challenge" and finally the Resources.  The Take Action Challenge is based on the main focus for the week and you will journal and do exercises reflecting that focus and the Resources will help you achieve that.  It really is spectacularly easy! One of the first things recommended is to find a partner or team to share this with and that is the purpose of this blog entry....to find someone who will partner with me on a year long journey or point me in the right direction. So if you are interested in practical and inspiring ways to improve your life one week at a time join me by making a comment so that I may conta

Chalk Guy

 My friend Sherry is always sending me cool stuff, awesome stuff, stuff you just have to share.  Today it's Chalk Guy.  He is an amazing artist, using chalk, he creates these 3-D images on flat surfaces in urban areas to the delight of city folk.  Here are some images of his stuff! He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse, which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real. 'I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice about everything   they see,' he said.  'It was a very scary scene, but when people saw it they had great fun playing on it and pretending to fall into the earth. 'I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might reflect more on what a frightening s

Love this concept!

I was looking through my emails and ran across this monumental art work!  This is so totally awesome.   I really wanted you to see it. It's a giant photo!  A composite of a thousands photos of people walking in an urban setting. I love that he has describes it as, "It is the translation of reality through my own designed camera." I think it's called, Urban Flow and he manages to capture little bits of time in an urban setting.  It's an awesome work and a wonderful concept. Go see it at Adam Magyar

Thank you everyone!  This is fun and I am having a lovely day.  It's so nice to have so many people thinking about me on my birthday. I am grateful!

New Moon Expericence

There is something so intriguing about a new moon. It always seemed so magical to do something at the dark of the moon.  For years I thought that a dark moon was bad luck.   To my delight I read somewhere recently that a new moon was a great time to start a new project.  Last dark moon I started an art project.  I think went very well.  It was something that got me out to the lake and into nature, which was fulfilling in and of itself, but it also allowed me to express myself artistically.  I'm trying something new this new moon and I'll tell you later what it is.  For now........ Here's my dark of the moon project. Here's the Lake. Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did!
