Hello:) - It's been a while!

Posted On: 12/12/2008 13:33:35

Hello

It's been a while since I posted - I have been clearing a lot extraneous 'stuff'. This is ongoing, and it feels so good to release stuff that I haven't used for months - clearing the old to make way for the new! This feels like a great time of year for this as we approach Christmas, and the end of 2008. This last year has been so full for me, and I have grown so much.

It was great to visit dear friends in Thailand and Australia earlier this year - we are so blessed to have people to stay with in these amazing countries. Whilst there I was truly inspired to set up The happyG, and so upon return I got down to it! It is amazing what has transpired in a few short months, with the help of inspiration, great web designers, courage and the support of friends.

I feel at a place in my life where I am ready to have fun and serve nature and children. This involves looking at myself and seeing where I can drop anything within me that dishonours the innocence, creative potential and joy that I see within both children and nature, and to regognise and nurture these qualities in myself. So, in seeking to serve nature and children, I acknowledge that they are serving me - helping me to return home to my true nature.

Growing up can be a 'serious' business, and I have come to see the value of stopping and watching our greatest teachers, and allowing them to show us the way.

with much love,

Shoes xx

Not long after Speck's valentine, another gift landed in my
lap. Luchóg brought it back from one of his pirating expeditions, unpacking his
sack like Santa at the Christmas tree. "And this, little treasure, is for
you. The sum-all and be-all of your earthly desires. Enough space here for your
every dream. Miracle of miracles, and dry, too. Paper."

　　He handed me a bound black kid Down Jacket notebook, the kind
schoolchildren use for their lessons, the pages lined to ensure the proper
placement of words and sentences. cheap Down Jacket On the front
was the name of the school and the title RULED COMPOSITION BOOK. On the back
was a small box with this printed warning: In the event of atomic attack: close
the shades, lie down under your desk. Do not panic. wholesale handbags Inside, the
author of the book, Thomas McInnes, had written his name on the flyleaf.

Speck would often show me what proved to be the obvious answer, for
which nobody else had the clarity of imagination and creativity. At cheap Moncler Jackets such
moments of insight, her eyes fixed on me, the tremor in her voice disappeared.
A single hair escaped now, bisecting her face. She gathered wholesale nba Jerseys her mane
with her two rough red hands and pushed it behind her ears, smiling all the
while at my stare. wholesale NHL Jerseys "If
you ever forget, Aniday, come find me." She walked away, moving through
the forest, across the ridge and away from camp, leaving me alone with my
calendar. I spied her figure progressing among the trees until she blended into
the natural world. When she vanished, all I could think of was the date:
February 20, 1950. I had lost so much time.

Pocketing my three tokens, I
turned over the calendar and read the Shakespeare aloud to myself: "But if
the while I think on thee, dear friend ..." The people sleeping down below
in the hollow were my friends. I took out my pencil and Carry On Bag began to write all I could remember. wholesale handbags Many a year has passed between then and now, and I have written
this story more than once, but that was the beginning, alone atop the cheap Down Jacket ridge. My fingers stiffened in the cold. As I walked down to the
camp, the bedcovers called out to me with the promise of warm dreams.

Today is
Monday, February 20, 1950. You do need a calendar." She held out her hand
for my pencil, which I wholesale
NHL Jerseys gladly ceded her. On the back
of the card, she drew seven boxes in a row and labeled S-M-T-W-T-F-S for the wholesale
nba Jerseys days of the week. Then she
printed all the months of the year in a column on the side, and then on the
opposite side, the numerals from 1 to 31. As cheap
Moncler Jackets she drew them, she quizzed me
on the proper number of days in each month, singing a familiar song to help me
remember, but we forgot about leap years, which would throw me off in time.
From her pocket, she took three round metal circles to demonstrate that if I
wanted to keep track of time, all I would have to do would be to move the disks
to the next space on the calendar each morning, remembering to start over at
the end of the week and month.
