Ram Festival

I am so behind in posting schedules and preparing for the events. But have beening taken everything a step at a time and finally rid myself of the IRS drama. Where will I be, we have a few local events coming up in April, the Chamber of Commerce has invited me to do a private party. I also will be doing the calendar party of the local civics group which I am a member, it's my duty to the world around to help those who cannot help themself. We also have the Ramps festival, a little bit of country, not so dramatic as the larger events, but definetly a must do if you have never had Deep Fried Ramps. Delicioius way to start spring, my ramps are already sprouted out back and I am thrilled to prepare myself for the next week event. It starts to pick on up from here on out. Some of the same events we have done in the past, always adding some new ones. I will make a point to add them this month.
Sometimes I feel like I am spinning around in circles without any clear cut place to stop. Stepping back and taking a deep breath. Chutes and Ladders, the childrens game quickly teaches us that we really don't want to slide back, everyone wants to move forward and gather momentum and I am know different. But if I were to stop, I have a few images that have not left my mind of where I would like to be.

Think Pink

We attended our first think pink event and we were amazed at how well it was organized and how wonderful the comrade was. The women were extrarordinary in hosting and raising funds for the Hillman foundation. If you get a chance to attend next years event, check out their website at http://www.thinkpink.org/. Thanks to all of our regular customers who showed up in support of the event and to stock up on their Autumns skin care products and poetry, to them a big Thank You!!!

Hard to believe that we are already planning for 2010. Adding new events as well some of our favorite events over the years. I think forever free means allowing the spirit to see in away that is not boxed in by limitations.

Update

I have to work on events and trade shows. Winter comes with its own difficulties and keeping busy helps it to go fast. Also is always so much fun to see so many of you return. Though their is lot of request for poetry, I have not officially sat down and worked on it. Sometimes I am a little bit spread thin, that I am either really busy or I feel like I have crashed.

A dream was merely unconscious thoughts until I felt your love.

The Weekend in Review

The many faces all blended miraculously into one, some felt like old friends and some a new gift from above. The lessons were many, struggles and desire, loneliness and happiness controlled their hour. Music playing and the crowds beyond belief and in the dark of the night, the moon shed life on their grief. Some needed a moment to share from deed inside, the heartache they experienced the sadness within their mind. Angels appearing in the most unusual disguise, I saw them in a child and in the blue of the sky. Some journeys just beginning, a few coming to and end and as I gaze into the crowds a chill transcends.

Five Troops Died Today

Call them a troop,

it's a son, daughter,

brother or sister,

call them a troop

Five Troops died today,

they gave all they had,

to protect and defend in

a far away land.

Call them a troop,

it's family, friend,

neighbor or acquaintence,

call them a troop.

Five troops died today,

no sadness or joy, evil

has spoken,violence is

shed and five people

now left for dead.

Call them a troop,

it's a man, woman,

heart and soul,

call them a troop.

Five men died today,

leaders, followers,

brother and sisters

of peace, on the

blood of our soldiers

many tear we shall weep.
