Throwback Post: Creating and Letting Go

**THROWBACK POST**

September 22 2015

At 11:07 a.m. this morning I received a blessing via an email. An email that was all about life loving me. I created Turning Views Inc in 2008 and have done much through it. Last year I was not able to renew TVI due to lack of funds. At the time, it caused me great pain to let the deadline approach and slip by. Yet, I decided to connect with the emotions this brought up and with a peaceful heart released it … knowing that if I was able to renew at a later date, I could, and if I didn’t, that all was happening perfectly as it should.

This morning at 11:07 I received this email. It’s legitimate and from someone whom has been a dear friend to me in the past. TVI is sold now. I will connect with these sad feelings I’m having for fully releasing what I created and know that once I’ve connected with them and let go, I’m gonna be wowed with what’s up for me next. Now. With a grateful heart, I shall take Team TLC out to dinner to celebrate. Life loves me … and life loves you. xoxo

Here’s to creating and letting go of those creations. Making way for new creations. Nothing ever really ends. It just changes form. xoxo

Celebratory walk around the lake after the celebration dinner. So beautiful … xoxo

After Dinner Walking While Peppers Get Stuffed With a Pool Party

September 3 2020

After dinner walk with Lillian on Tuesday. Thought we should get a photo of the empty Apple store.

Thomas Darnell went to the grocery store with me last week. He saw these great looking peppers and said he wanted to make stuffed peppers. I helped a bit, and here’s one of the finished peppers. Jasmine rice layered with peas, corn, and two kinds of cheese.

Wonderful Walks With Clouds and Thorny Sunsets While the Ornamental Grass Glows

August 9 2020

There were many wonderful walks, clouds and sunsets during the two week stay at home vacation and social media break.

Sunset walk with Lillian.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of roses.
Sometimes parenting is a bed of thorns.
Sometimes I know exactly where I’m going.
Sometimes I don’t know whether I’m coming or going.
Yet, the walks I take, the scenes my eyes frame, the photos I take, being in nature, always brings peace and comfort.

Wonderful early morning walk. I love these lil fuzzy ornamental grasses. They glow in the sunlight.

Nature’s Abundance by Camilla Downs

Frosty Embrace - Nature's Abundance 3.9.18

Nature’s Abundance

I feel the frosty cold
embrace as You brush
across this body.
I feel and Know
your Abundance.

I touch and hug
the beautiful,
scarred and knotted
trees that sprout
and grow from Your soil.
I feel and Know
your Abundance.

I delight in the sparkling
and unique snow flakes
as they drift from
the brooding clouds
above and lightly fall
upon this body.
I feel and Know
your Abundance.

Lo, even as I dodge
and walk through
the nuggets of
geese waste left
behind by these
majestic and
interesting creatures,
I feel and Know
your Abundance.

Yes, I feel Your abundance
I Know it now.

It’s been a ….. Go here to read more …
