Hello to you. Today while watching NYCTHRASHERs livestream on Tik Tok, he is sharing a Dance Is Life event on pier 76 in New York City . It’s so fun watching people dancing together! A bunch of random people who love music and dancing coming together in peace. Natasha Diggs is the DJ.
People coming together in peace

Today I purpose to live
My life will shine As the morning sings I walk in liberty Bound in true dreams Manifested promises Chase my forward motion A covered path before me The fruits of my hoping The fruits of my living
Today I purpose to love
My love will speak With the sound of grace Merciful within mercy The works of my faith Smiles of overflowing Inspire my giving Abundance of joy as rain The fruits of my living
Then it was enjoying watching our dear sweet Tatum and Kyle get married. We went over to my cousin Heidi’s first and she shared another reason to love frogs – Fully rely on God. Ever since she’s been through all that she has she has grown even closer to God. She is an inspiration to us all!
Two sweethearts of people
The wedding was at the Rustic Daisy Event barn and the weather was perfect! It was a very emotional ceremony officiated by Tatum’s Dad Richie. There were 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen. The girls were dressed in red and looked lovely. Tatum and Kyle looked so happy! We had pizza and salad for dinner which hit the spot. My ears problem made it hard for me. I don’t do well in crowds either! I’m still glad I went and got to see everybody.

Let us be centered in the present moment experiencing it in its fullness – while not being conditioned by the mirror of our past playing out in our thoughts and emotions.
Hello to you. I just saw the sad news that Dolly Parton has died at age 80. It’s hard to believe as she has been a part of my life for so long. One of my earliest memories of her was my going into the book mobile and signing out her album with the song Coat of Many Colors:
Hello to you. I hope this finds you well you well and if something, whatever it may be, is disrupting your peace I hope help is on the way. I was going to write something totally different today but decided not to contribute to negativity. So many people are going through so much right now. With the modern news systems bad news is vomited on to us at every turn! Let love, peace and light find you today. You are unconditionally loved! Don’t you forget that!

It’s about the love of the shepherd not the worthiness of the sheep. This funny video was shared that illustrates very well what being a good shepherd must be like:
After church I went and breakfast at the Sunrise Cafe. Got my Emma fix. She is so kind and always remembers my order!

Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord

Hello to you. As I write to you many parts of my country and places abroad are on fire and or are suffering from heat waves. All are in my prayers! I can only imagine how hard it must be for all those who have lost their homes. I have been keeping Venezuela and their earthquake losses and places suffering war in my prayers too. I almost feel guilty that I have it so good! We had a water main leak today and the water was off so they can do the repair. Such a minor inconvenience in the scheme of things!
I wonder how many people are turning to God, finding solace in God in these times. It’s easy to love God when life is going your way. I wonder if you asked any of these poor souls if they believed in Jesus would they still say yes?
Some would ask why does God allow bad things to happen. I would say bad things are a catalyst to change. Many actions go into one thing happening. Many choices and moves have to occur for anything to happen good or bad. Life is a series of choices – the outcome of some of those choices can be bad – or seem bad at the time. If we put God first in our choices things can be manageable. It’s when we don’t figure God into our plans that things go astray. Standing in the ashes of a home without God I can imagine how alone and lost one might feel. I pray that those struggling like that will be comforted.

Oh, children, don’t you weep, If the road is long. All of us are prayers of action, On our way to God, On our way to God.
Some of us are long and rambling, Sometimes lost for years, Some of us are small and holy, Beautiful and clear.
Oh, children, don’t you weep, If the road is long. All of us are prayers of action, On our way to God, On our way to God.
What’s a song lyric that has stuck with you forever?
Hello to you. My prayers go out to the people of Spokane Washington and all the other parts of the world that are burning. I am convinced that what they have been spraying all over in the sky has made the trees and grass more flammable. Just a theory!
The song lyric that has stuck with me much of my life is from a song called Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. Every time I hear it I am immediately transported to my childhood home. I am in the basement wearing my wrist radio listening to this song:
Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Hello to you. It’s another smoky and hazy day as I write to you. I’m getting a bit of cabin fever staying inside so much. We stay inside for the winter and stay inside for the summer! it feels like the whole earth is burning.
Do I think everything happens for a reason? The way I’ve come to understand how things work is this existence is like a chess match. Every move of a piece is carefully thought out. Our Lord knows where every single fragment of this existence is going to go. Each move carefully thought out. To answer a single prayer requires the movement of so many pieces. The Lord has all the time in world – he operates in infinity. One day in our time is forever in his. He exists outside of time whereas our mortal coil is limited by time and circumstances.
I can remember sitting out in my back yard in Texas and I would point at a dead leaf or a blade of grass. I would ask “what are you going to do with this,” and then a breeze would come and move the leaf or blade of grass. Sometimes an insect would land on it. I came to understand that God had a plan for everything in creation – even things that seemed to not be of use anymore.
Sometimes things happen in this shared existence that seem to make no sense at the moment. It’s only when enough time passes that we see the purpose. We can often look back and see Gods plan and have an “aha” moment. We are able to see what happened that seemed horrible while we were living in it was actually for our greater good. If my second husband had not divorced me, I would not have the relationship I have with God, my family and church. At the time I was going through the divorce I wasn’t sure I would make it!
I would say to young people a number of things, and I have only one minute.
I would say — let them remember that there is a meaning beyond absurdity.
Let them be sure that every little deed counts, that every word has power, and that we do — everyone — our share to redeem the world, in spite of all absurdities, and all the frustrations, and all the disappointment
And above all, remember that the meaning of life is to live life as if it were a work of art.
Hello there! How are you doing today? I just finished another attempt at drawing one of my favorite things the Metatrons Cube. I did it mostly free hand. I am so out of practice!
My first attempt at drawing a Metatrons Cube in a couple of yearsWhat the correct shape looks like
What exactly is the meaning of the shape? Here is what the internet had to say:
Metatron’s Cube is a complex, mystical geometric symbol in sacred geometry that contains all the fundamental shapes of the universe. Named after the Archangel Metatron, who is said to oversee the flow of energy in creation, it is believed to be the ultimate blueprint of reality and physical matter. [1, 2, 3]
Here are the key elements of its meaning:
The Blueprint of Creation: The cube is derived from ancient patterns like the “Fruit of Life” (13 interconnected circles). By drawing straight lines connecting the center of every circle to every other circle, it reveals the Five Platonic Solids (the tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron). These solids represent the basic building blocks of all organic life and matter. [1, 2, 3]
Balance and Harmony: Metatron’s Cube merges the feminine (the curved circles) with the masculine (the straight lines). In spiritual practices, this represents the perfect balance of polarities and the harmony of the cosmos. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Protection and Healing: Historically, the cube has been used as a sacred grid or glyph. Believers often use or wear it to repel lower frequencies, clear negative energy, and foster a peaceful environment. [1, 2, 3]
Spiritual Awakening: As a visual tool, it is frequently used in meditation to help focus the mind, gain higher consciousness, and connect with the divine. [1]
I first learned about the shape from my friend Sarah many years ago. Something about it just was a balm for my brain. I have a pendant I wear with the shape all the time.
Hello to you. Today has been a good day. The morning began with church. I had never really read John 17 before. It was a great prayer from Jesus for his followers then and his followers now. I got to sit next to my friend Jeannie. She brought me something special – colored pencils! She likes my drawings and wanted to encourage me. I did a little drawing – I’m so out of practice!
