MEMORABLE MOMENTS

There have been moments in time that have shifted my life's earthly journey.

Interesting - an aside here, I noticed that I first spelled 'early' which probably works well in this story line also.

Today I shared some of those wonderful moments with a group of people and since then other moments have come to my mind that I wish to share with others. So here I am, taking inventory and documenting the tools and techniques stored in my personal tool box. Things I have heard, seen, experienced over the years that I have adopted into my world because they resonated with my being and touched my heart.

Wow, the ideas are flooding in. Where do I start! Here goes.

- life is like a tea bag. The longer it is in hot water, the stronger it gets.
