Inspirational Quotes Wallpaper Almost Ready!

Well, it has taken two days but the new computer wallpapers, soon to be available at Inspirational Quotes Wallpaper, are almost ready!

My favorite is on my computer now. It shows two daffodils almost bowed by the force of the snow and cold, that, nonetheless, keep their blooms intact in spite of the difficult circumstances they are in.

The encouraging Edgar Cayce quote that is embedded in the image is:

May we indeed inculcate in the lives of others that like the rose, that like the baby breath, like every flower that blooms. For it does its best with what has been given it by man, to glorify its Maker with all its beauty, its color, with all of its love for the appreciation of spring, of the rain, the sunshine, the shadows.” That inspirational quotation is excerpted from Edgar Cayce Reading 5122-1.

This “Daffodils Triumph over Cold and Snow” computer wallpaper is the nature photograph and inspirational quote that goes with the March 2010 calendar page of the Edgar Cayce Calendar.

Baby Raccoons in the Yard

We had young raccoons in the yard this evening. They were huddled under the table on the deck, definitely uneasy around us. John had a camera and I had the camcorder.  We could within 10 feet of them. They made little mewing and soft chattering sounds at times.

I didn’t know what to do with them. Fortunately I found an interesting and informative web site on baby raccoons. From it I learned to leave the little ones alone because baby raccoons are up and awake in the daytime and often explore close to their den/nest while their mother is sleeping during the day. The web site said to leave the youngsters alone. It also said that there is a time when the mother moves the babies from one den to another. Since she can only move one at a time, people sometimes find a couple of young raccoons and wrongly believe them have been abandoned by their mother or that the mother has been killed.

Not so, according to Dory and the Orphans at http://www.doryandtheorphans.com The mother will come back to them. Even if the mother has perished, other mother raccoons often adopt orphaned youngster. The information on the web site says not to feed them, so I did not.

The web site also says that to move young raccoons away from their mother at too early an age will lead to their death. They cannot survive until they are almost adults. Since it is July now and babies are normally born in the spring, these youngsters are definitely not old enough to be separated from their mother.

I’ll see if they’re still there in the morning. Hopefully, their mother has taken care of them. Otherwise, the web site has a network of raccoon rescuers.

Seeing these lovely little wild ones, has filled me with hope and gratitude.

A wonderful session with Arthur Joseph!

I feel so grateful for the help I’m receiving from Arthur Joseph with my speaking abilities. Today, I had a fantastic session with Arthur, who is the creator of the Vocal Awareness system.

He was in New York City so I did not have to travel to Los Angeles, as I have had to in the past, but instead, could take a day trip to the Big Apple.

I feel happy that he offered to help me out with the Yucatan Travel movie I’m working on.

A Fantastic Vocal Awareness Weekend

Just got home. It’s dark.

Been up since 3:19 am. Thank God for that part of me that wakes me up because the hotel’s wake up call never came.

Disappointed that Denny’s was closed for maintenance. Won’t get my oatmeal.

Returned the rental car. Got the shuttle to LAX. Huge lines at security. Flew out of Los Angeles at 6:40 am.

I’d been in LA at my Vocal Awareness weekend to help me give better speeches and narrate my movies better. There’s so much more to it than only voice training. After all, breath is spirit. Breath is life. Another wonderful weekend with Arthur Joseph!

Exhausted after a full day of travel. Can hardly wait to hit the sack.

Sitting in the Dark with my Laptop

I sit in the dark with my laptop on my knees. That’s how I’ve been writing all my blog posts since I’ve been at the Winter Star Party if I write the posts at night.

It is nighttime now and dark outside. To guard our night vision, all bright lights have to be squelched. Only red filtered flashlights are allowed. 

The inconvenience is worth it because our eyes are adjusted to the darkness well enough that we can see the Milky Way Galaxy, that band of stars that are our home galaxy.

It’s a good feeling to be among my amateur astronomer friends looking at the heavens.
