The Flying Unicorns Create A Rainbow by Lillian Darnell

THE FLYING UNICORNS CREATE A RAINBOW

The unicorns weren’t always flying. One day one of the unicorns found a flying powder and they started flying! Shortly after they found a rainbow can in the sky. They painted rainbows in the sky.

But one day they couldn’t fly in the sky. Suddenly they found a clue and they were off to find their powers.

The people began wondering what happened to the unicorns. The delivery person had come out of nowhere and said that the unicorns lost their powers.

Some of the people began murmuring, “Terrible.” They decided to help them. When they got there, the unicorns explained everything.

They finally found the final clue along with their powers; as well as who put them there.

The unicorns discovered that it was the small creatures. After that, they showed no one their powers. They kept secret all the time.

Roux the Beautiful and So Is My Hair

Isn’t Roux (pronounced Roo) gorgeous? Another beauty I get to read out loud to when her human is out of town. 💛💛💛

Happy Birthday to me ….. still … Just had to share these birthday goodies just received. For years, I have been wanting to switch from the long time shampoo I’ve been using.

Last month I switched to bar shampoo and apple cider vinegar rinse and have been wanting to try this brand as I like the variety and the different essential oils used. Love it!!! Thank you to a sweet friend for continuing the celebration. 💖💖💖

Yesterday was my first time to use it. I was using a different brand for the last month and it did take my hair some time to adjust to shampooing with a healthier-for-the-hair-and-environment product. The hair has settled into it nicely now! I also love that when using a bar shampoo there’s no plastic bottle to toss when done!

I have one friend who always make sure to treat me to lunch and makes sure I get to treat myself to some lovelies (I have one more package on the way – YAY!!). Even if it’s way belated!

Working on the next book and discovered I never shared this fun poem from July 2018!

The Circle of Life

On a bed of lentils,
surrounded by yellow flowers,
in cycles of three
she rotated through life.

What has she done wrong,
What did she do for all
the right reasons ….

**THROWBACK POST**

May 8 2015:

Oh my goodness!! What a blessed day! Set intention to be mindful and to know when I’m supposed to share with others. Ended up with a first client for a new business I have not even talked about because I shared specific information with her that I was moved to share. At that exact time she had just prayed for that specific information.

Met with a beautiful friend for coffee at Whole Foods. Shopped for a few items that I can only get there and Mike, a sweet employee stocking the shelves, gifted me a bag of spicy chips, the employees checking me out made a lovely fuss over making sure my items were bagged perfectly, one of Thomas’ friends gave us half dozen fresh eggs from his chickens, stopped to get the mail and someone mailed us 3 bottles of fish oil supplements, and I received two checks (one I knew about and the other was a surprise)!

Blessed, blessed, blessed day!!! Thank You! xoxo

Movie Musings: UP

Team TLC movie night: Lillian’s choice – “Up”

Lillian says, “Good, funny, liked the music, emotional in some parts, my favorite part is when Carl and Ellie got married, and my favorite character is Ellie.”

I say, “A wonderful, uplifting adventure of enjoying life, forgetting to enjoy life, and ultimately, remembering what’s truly important.”

Thomas says, “It was good, I liked it, and I liked the music.”

Book Musings: The Canterville Ghost

Posted on by

The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde

We finally took the time to read this as we’ve watched the black and white version of the movie several times. I read it aloud over a few weeks. We found it interesting that the movie had few similarities to the story written by Wilde.

“The humorous tale of a malevolent ghost who discovers there is no peace for the wicked when a rambunctious American family moves into his ancestral home.” (from the flap). I enjoyed reading this to Thomas and Lillian!

Vegan Tacos and Lemon and Ginger Water and Meh-Shee-Ka

Mmmmm … That was so good!!! I’m in love with this seltzer water flavored with real lemon and ginger juice.

April 12 2019:

Finally, finally, finally got to eat here!! The birthday celebrations continue! Thank you Carolyn R Smith for my birthday lunch!! House of Mexica (Meh-Shee-Ka)

From the restaurant: “Meh-Shee-Ka – A Tribe of plant based Mexica united together to create Heaven on Earth through the powers of food, life, love, & light.”

From Me: A full vegan menu with a feel good vibe permeating the atmosphere. Our server (and also co-owner), Marv, was absolutely wonderful with an incredibly humble energy.

We split the asada fries to begin with … WOW!! So good!!! I had a burrito and Carolyn had a chimichanga. It was like a symphony of harmonious flavors performing a lovely concert in my mouth. One I did not want to end.

Thank you Carolyn for EVERYTHING! Thank you for treating me to lunch, to your company, and for treating me like a birthday queen. I love you and I love our friendship. 💜💜💜
