Beloved,
What do you think of this weather? Here it is the middle of March
and we have 60 and 70 degree weather. I don’t know about you.
but I am loving it. I love going outside without a jacket and the
sun really brings up the feeling of newness and hope. I even
put my lounge chairs on my deck and go out to eat my salad
every day. I promised myself I would go and sit at least once
a day no matter what is going on in my life. How about you?
Have you promised yourself a treat everyday? What is your
treat? I would love to know what gift you are giving yourself.
It is an unusual time of the year for the lake also. It never
completely froze over except for a thin sheet of ice which
happened several times but not one ice fisherman or
snowmobiler was able to use it. Even the ducks are
different, the transient ones I mean. I did see about
6 of the hooded mergansers but there are about 16
different mergansers. The males are mostly white with
some back and the females are a rustic brown with a
pointed head and they look just like the redbreasted
merganser picture but the book does not show the
male so I am not sure just what their real name is. I
enjoy watching them dive for their food and they go
different places in the lake to feed. I can almost see
the current is different where they are feeding so the
fish must be moving around . Of course, Oscar (I
call him that) the seagull hangs around to see if he
can scoff up or steal some of their prize.
Talking about our beloved planet, Mother Earth,
reminds me of a very special opportunity we have
to share our love for her. Conception Day is a day
for all of us to come together in the intent to help
and change the world and the people who she
graciously allows to inhabit her.
Imagine 100 million of us gathering in a shared
commitment to birth a healthy, sustainable,
peaceful, and prosperous world.
PS: Conception Day 2012 is the launch of the
breakthrough book by Barbara Marx Hubbard,
Birth 2012 and Beyond – the essential field guide
for the collective Birth – and the Birth 2012 Channel
on Shift Network TV, as well as the launch of Global
Shift University.

I did not do my TV show last week because of what I look
like now. My yoga teacher said I look like a prize fighter….
the one that lost. I have been told that I look like a doll with
painted eyebrows. I know people are looking at me strangely
and they avert their eyes instead of looking into mine. The
surgery to fix my drooping eyelid which was interfering with
my vision went well. Of course, they had to do surgery above
both eyebrows so they would balance and what is weird is
that the one that did not need fixing had more soreness
and more red eyelids and red below the eyes.
I will do my show today but as yet do not know how I
am going to camouflage the thinner red lines of surgery
above my eyebrows or the red eyelids or the red under
my eyes. I need to play with makeup (not my forte) and
see what it will look like. If I cannot hide it, I will just
explain it like I am doing to you. It has been quite the
experience but actually a good one.
For the first time in 35 years, I had anesthesia that did
not incapacitate me for weeks. I woke up from it
feeling good and that is continuing. The first day
after the surgery, I could see, I mean I could see
really good. With all the swelling I am back to not
seeing as well but I KNOW what is coming and I
will be able to see clearly again. What a gift!
The stitches were removed yesterday and it was
painless, that was so good. Instead of the large
black lines, it is reduced to a thinner red line which
will disappear in time. I was told by the surgeon
that because the skin is much thicker there, it
will take longer for the final healing to take place
but it was a success. If you come to the 4th Annual
Holistic and Wellness Expo this weekend being held
in Twin River, Rhode Island,you will see what I am
talking about. Stop and say Hi and be prepared to
chuckle.
As you’re aware, St. Patrick’s Day is quickly
approaching. Even if you’re not Irish, you get an
Irish Blessing. So here it is. It is yours for the rest
of the year.
May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go!
This is beautiful!
As the piece starts, the pictures of Ireland are amazing, but wait until you get to the two spoken parts!
