I always want to remember this moment

Rembrances:

  • Hearing my neighbor, through the rather thick walls of our duplex, BARACK OBAMA!  At the same moment that I saw it online.
  • When my new friend called instead of talking we both simply laughed for about 5 seconds.
  • The photo of Reverend Jesse Jackson when the news broke.
  • The distinct feeling that I have lived to see the impossible. The feeling that I have participated personally in history that will change the world forever.  Granted in other lives I’m sure this has also been true, but this is the one I remember distinctly and that I will get to tell my great nephews and nieces about one day.
  • I love and admire and respect our new leader as a human being.  Yes. I love him.  Can’t help myself.
  • And yet still only 65% of the people voted.
  • WE shall overcome
  • The Victory Speech

Today is an historical day

Hope you all are voting!!  Record numbers I predicted, more African-Americans I predicted.  I’m very pleased to see that my instincts and suppositions are proving to be accurate.  These are exciting times to live in.  We decide what direction the future of this country and this planet takes today.  I can not overstress how important this is.  I just know it. I have for months.

On a personal note, I got an email from my new friend, colleague, just now.  Expressing his hope that I voted, that we are victorious, and that he is looking forward to coffee with me next week.  Now what a nice surprise that is.  He takes initiative.  He’s interested in politics in a pro-active way (you might have guessed that he is the person who wrote Obama’s campaign about technology and the future).  Oh my goodness. He’s a grown up!

!! VOTE !!

Contest!! Spirit Photography ~ Name That Spirit

Okay! Here we go.  And you get to see me in my Dead Salem Witch costume.

Here’s da rules.

Contest Deadline:

Full Moon, Thursday, November 13th when I get up in the morning, have my coffee and sit down to the computer.  Which is approxiamately 9:00am PST.

What you have to do:

First place winner must be the first person to tell me what you see in the smoke in photograph #1 that agrees with what I see.  Second place winner will be the first person to see something in photos #1, #2, or #3 that I do not or can not see. “Something” is defined thusly: It must be some sort of symbol that would have meaning in my life.  It can be metaphysical in nature (Goddess, rune, etc) or something symbolic (totem animal of myself or of my deities). These are spirit photos so that is, I suppose, the nature of the images. It doesn’t have to be one I already know but some new symbol or message for me.  I will not be as picky as you think. Third place winner will make me smile or laugh out loud in response to what they see in any image.

Leave your answers in the comments section.

  • Second place winner will receive any pair of earrings of their choice from my etsy store at the time of contest end. (I have some I need to add so there will be more selection at contest end).
  • Third place winner will receive either a check book cover, a cell phone cover, or a small velcro money/card wallet, my choice. These are not on the etsy store, you will be surprised.  In return for surprising me.  See how that works?
