A Place of Reflections

THE DREAM  ~ I am in a lovely church. I can see I am standing right behind the pulpit in the main sanctuary. There is two tall  medium skinny windows with  oval  (rounded tops) behind me in the back of the church ~ one on each side of the pulpit and they are streaming a beautiful filtered sunlight through them. I don't recall either of them being 'stained glass' , but one of them particularly I notice  has some art within it.  I think I remember seeing a blue bird, and then realize, it's a robin, the wings are blue color, but the orange breast is true to color.  It is sitting beak open on a tree branch. The wooden walls and features in the sanctuary are polished, clean & there is no dust in the rays of streaming sunlight. I am wearing a pink blush almost white blouse with short sleeves that are a little bit puffed.  Further on to my left side beyond the...

Subtitled: Dear Oprah To those of you who think I'm writing to 'bite' Oprah ~ I sure am in hopefully a gentle, kind and loving way that the strength of my opinion (as it is) will shine through to her. If that's not the type of 'bite' you were looking for here in my place of opinion (not NEWS, but opinion) then go on and depart right now. FIRST, I am quite taken by Super Soul Sunday only thing is I have far too many unwatched recordings and several I started to watch, couldn't stay up with them and the time demands of watching them and needed to erase to make room on the television recording system. NEXT, it took me 24 hours of incremental watching to get through 3 consecutive hours of Dr. Wayne Dyer's THE SHIFT which aired for Super Soul Sunday yesterday. I was blessed by it and yet I was aggravated by it ~ too much time all at once for my brain to process. Dr. Wayne Dyer has the ability to articulate with fluidity and smoothness some p...

Please remember to read The Magic of Eilif ~ Part One  so you may catch up to this point in the story. Some few days passed. I can't remember exactly how many. I am fairly accurate on keeping track of what day it currently is. One morning I have awakened myself, talking (babbling?) in my sleep.  I lift up, swing out of the bed, put my feet on the carpet and have that very rare moment of being able to capture what it was I was talking to myself about before I woke myself up doing it. The magic of Eilif has once again come into play. "Eilif ~ I live because I matter. Eilif ~ I matter because I live."  ~ these are exact words ~ I kept repeating them out loud on the way to the bathroom.  After that necessary relief, I went to my computer desk and I scrawled them in a spiral notebook I kee...

Subtitled: Eilif, I Have Great Ambitions for You This story is dedicated to Eilif Skodvin  and   Eilif Kiland . Image Credit: Blogs Nosey Parker Toronto Sun  I became delighted in watching the NetFlix Original Series LilyHammer . The premise is an American mobster (gangster) relocates to Lillehammer, Norway via 'witness protection' and re-starts his life. The mobster is played by Steven Van Zandt.  I'm so proud to say I already knew of him as an accomplished musician with " Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band "  long before I held on to his every word, breath and frowning nuance playing character Silvio Dante in American television's The Sopranos . I would watch LilyHammer . I would smile. Smiles became chuckles. Chuckles became roaring laughter. My basic 'social media' is Twitter. I began to tweet and tell people about  LilyHammer . In some way, I felt connected to this show. I needed to figure out why?  I did figur...
