Look to the Future

Truthfully, I've never been afraid of the future.  When you are a survivor, literally, you not only live for today, but, you daydream of your future.

Being a survivor of Rhabdomyosarcoma is probably one of my biggest lessons in living. Even being on the Pediatric Oncology floor in Denver's Children's Hospital, meeting other sick children, that didn't survive, and going through survivors guilt, I still stand today, in full remission (after 27 years), I knew.. I was not going to die. When my odds were only 10% of surviving and another 10% of living for two years, here I am.

When I look to the future, it's a feeling of humility, and always will be.

• The key signifies power, enlightenment
• Apache Tear ensures balance in my emotional nature and protects me against being taken advantage of
• Garnet instills faith, love, devotion and trust
• The Celtic knots represents the timeless nature of my spirit

A look to my future..

I look forward to my Future..

Moo

Can we have a "Whew"?!

"A respected tree gives many blessings to a society. A disrespected trees brings problems even though most people now days don't see this because they live in a pretend land. But, just look at the global environmental problems and you can see that all of us must change and learn respect for all of the creation." (Shaman Amy Frank)

I love trees, I always have.  I love to photograph them, touch them, stare at them, they are a part of us, our history and they have seen some amazing things.

Today is Monday Motif, and the theme is "Blowing in the Wind".  I had no idea when I left for work. I did feel panic a little.. but then .. "Light Bulb" (in best Gru accent).  I only needed a ring..well that wasn't easy.  But..I stumbled upon luck..

I found these amazing metal bracelets. *squeee*. I had the wire, I had the beads... all I needed was the ... Patience.  (Not my strongest virtue mind you, but I'm getting there).

So I present to you:

And so it worked out.  It wasn't easy but it was fun!
