The Rest of the Story

[toggleswitch]

Kelly you are truly an inspiration to me to go forward fearlessly and with a positive attitude. I am thrilled that there is a long and bright future ahead of you and for you.

I want to personally thank you for inspiring me to get back to reading a "A Course in Miracles" which sits on my desk just waiting for attention.

Similarly, I am glad to have finally met you in person. Coming to this event with the loss of your friend occuring nearly simultaneously deserves a huge "thank you".

With each passing day, I see how even the smallest thought and kind word has such a huge impact in the lives of others, and to me as well. To everyone in this group, I say also with love, thank you for touching my life.

Kelly you are SOOOOOOO f---ed now. I'm getting my rump on a plane (with GG) and coming to Seattle, WA before ya know it. Toggle treats are crap compared to what you can do in the kitchen. Cook for me cookman!

and (in no particluar order) then Texas, then Chicago, then Tampa Bay, then..........

The Ruby Slippers

After making reference to the great and terrible Gansky I'll forge ahead and continue to steal from the Wizard of Oz. I spent more than 50 years struggling to find the place where I could simply be, in peace. I was amazed after all that time, the subtlest twist in looking at God made all the difference. At once I knew I had been wearing the Ruby Slippers the whole time. The answer is within and not without. In the Bible it is written, "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." I have found, for me that when I wait in the Lord and not on the Lord my strength needs no renewal because I am bathed in Love the whole time.
Sermon over and I'll sing a special song, There Will Be Showers of Money, I mean Blessings, while we pass the offering plate! I had to throw in a little irreverence for Venus or she'd thing the cancer had spread to the brain.

Soap Me Up

Robert,
Do you think the spirit of the machines and the era they represent harken us back to times when a man's word was bond, we left our doors unlocked, we could afford gas, we didn't have to belong to a gym cause we aere always ducking under our desk for the air raid drill? Since I have shared my religious thoughts, I do believe appliances have a personality. Anytime I bring home a second hand appliance I hear it sigh with gratefulness. It will be restored, tread to a position of dignity and used with love. And...they last and last and last, even the Atlantis.

A heart without words is more than words with heart. gandhi
