Took another trip down memory lane this morning on the drive back home … This time the courtesy of The Cult’s Sanctuary and Wild Flower … Wild is right! Wild & crazy memories! Just love how powerful music can be … xoxo

**********************************

I have a very important appointment at 1:30 today. I get to be treated to tea by the amazing dude I get to call my son and his awesome classmates! xoxo

Greeted at the door, taken to a seat, served a beverage and food and then entertained with poetry from each child! YAY!!!!

“Why would someone sell something that doesn’t work just to make money?” -Thomas … In a book he’s reading right now (Johnny Swanson), one of the characters discovered a cure for heartburn and began to sell it. His family needed the money. We were talking about it and then Thomas turned the conversation to the above statement … he wasn’t really asking me a question, just making a statement. He keeps me smiling …

Congratulations Thomas!! Today is his 90th day taking a photo a day of a LEGO photographer taking a photo! His teacher was thrilled to hear about this and wanted him to present to his class about it; which he did this morning. His classmates had thoughtful questions and gave him glowing compliments. Great reward for sticking with it.

Some of his photos are on the Center for Adaptive Riding website and the USPS is going to feature one in their social media! Beautiful things happen when we take inspired action! 275 more days to go! Here’s the video we created for him to present …

Love Inspires .. Love lifts the brain fog, releases creativity, energizes, and allows opportunity. Yesterday I was in Kohl’s using a $20 coupon and the gentleman in front of me gifted me the remainder of the $10 coupon he had just used, I forgot my grocery list and remembered all but one item on it, I found a nickel on the ground (heehee), Thomas’ friend gave us a half dozen eggs again (just had them for breakfast .. YUM), and I danced in the rain. Love Inspires …

Throwback Post: Day Full of Interesting Experiences

**THROWBACK POST**

June 5 2015:

This has been a day full of interesting experiences. Started the day with leading a group of 1st – 3rd graders in a Rainbow meditation. Then a 1st grader told me that teachers are like moms. I asked if he thought that was a good thing and he concluded that yes, it is.

Then received a package in the mail addressed to me with my name spelled correctly from someone I do not know. Inside is an outfit for an 18 month old boy. Ummm, hmmmm?? Next, a friend texted that she’s at a fundraiser and there’s information from 5 years ago about Lillian on display (which is okay since they contributed to something that was going on at the time. It was just interesting to get the message at this particular moment).

And, lastly we had our movie night tonight since T & L will be having a sleepover with The Romano Duo tomorrow night. It took about 20 minutes to get the laptop and the projector to play nice together and there’s usually no problem. We watched Mythic Journeys which was full of many messages that were in answer to asking to view some things differently. Gave me goose bumps and made my eyes sweat.

This has been a day full of interesting experiences. Hugs and more hugs … xoxo
