Day 2 - Photo A Day

The Old Days

This image is of one of those vintage perfume bottles that belonged to my mother. The kind that ladies used to fill with their favorite fragrance, then tip the bottle to moisten the stopper and then dab the fragrance behind their ears, neck, and wrists. 

Long gone are those days for the most part. Now we have spray bottles, which usually emit way too much fragrance. 

Tip I learned from a wonderful friend ... spray your signature fragrance out in front of you and walk through it. Or spray it on a cotton pad or cotton ball and dab on the pulse points where you want it. 

What We Focus On

All parts of the west coast are suffering from lack of rain, dealing with wildfires, and becoming homeless because of the devastation. Let us all pray that the PTB stop the weather modifications, and release the stored water that could help to alleviate the situation.

It's supposed to rain here this week. Father God, send some to the ravaged and scorched places on this planet ... our home. Without water, we cannot survive and neither can the plant and animal kingdoms.

This lovely bloom reminds me to be grateful for the beauty in this world ... because what we focus on expands. So I will focus on water falling from the sky. Namaste'

View from the Bus

Had some more fun with the geese by adding a view from the old bus.

It reminds me of the old school bus my brother used to drive when he was a senior in high school. He would pick me up on the cold, snowy days in Nebraska. He wasn't supposed to because we lived pretty close to the school and the principal thought the kids who lived close didn't need to ride the bus.

But Mike picked me up anyway. I was his first stop and he had me sit right behind him where the heater was. Thanks, Mike! Even though you're gone, I still feel your love. Namaste'

Heart 'O Mine

Everything I'm reading (not in the mainstream media) is saying that this month is going to bring about some major changes for humanity.  I sure hope so; it's been feeling rather bleak for so many of our fellow humans. Let's hope the changes are more heart centered and that consciousness will keep rising. Nothing is static; we're in a constant flow. Send out a wave of love to all who inhabit this beautiful blue orb we call home. We're all in this together.

I dedicate my silver heart - and my human one - to these positive changes. Namaste'

Playing with Geese

There are always geese flying over our house and I love them! It just seems that I never have my camera handy when they make their pass. But the other day I had my phone with me and finally got a picture. And then I decided to give them some friends by doing a ghost image. I guess you could say I've been playing with the geese. Honk! Honk!

Some folks believe that Oregon is always rainy, cloudy and gloomy. Not so ... we've experienced incredibly clear blue skies of late and only about 99 drops of rain. Actually, I'm hoping for some of that wet stuff soon. Well, I'm sure we'll get our share this winter, but with the wildfires going on, it sure would be nice for Mother Nature to step up to the plate and rain all over the West.

Forever Marilyn

For those of us that are baby boomers, you'll probably remember Marilyn Monroe.  I think she is an icon of "branding"  Meaning she was unmistakenly distinct in all she did ... her movies, her own way of being sexy, and her special voice. 

I think if she was alive today, her message to all women would be to be who you are and love it.  Don't try to change anything.  Celebrate your uniqueness and oneness with everyone and every thing.

This image was one I took of her 26 foot tall statue that is on loan to Palm Springs, CA.  We love you, Marilyn!
