Updates and News of the New - June 09

A lot has been going on the past few weeks. We are getting closer to the final days before the big move to my moms. I spent the past couple of days dealing with a reaction and sick stomach. This happens often with the chemical sensitivities and being medically housebound.

All and all tings are looking up, or I just choose to see it that way. :-) The weather has been producing some beautifully displayed storms. I do love summer storms. We had some close range lightening and thunder the other day with heavy rains that moved in across the field.

The night sky (when it is not cloudy) has been absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the full Strawberry Moon the other night. The aura spread and skipped across the sky like nothing I have ever seen before.

I've discovered that not all of our friends we have here at our current location are the lifelong kind. It's sad really but people tend to be hard when they know you are leaving the area. I will miss some of the good times we had with them but now I see that is was only surface friendships. It's to bad really and now we know we will not likely make a trip back here again. There is nothing here for us any longer and all of our families are located where we are headed.

To the left is the new Celestial Events calender from the Giving Earth website (my site). This is only a surface calender of events. There are many more celestial events that can't be seen with the naked eye so I have not mentioned them. A good search will turn up many more nightly activities.

As many of you know I am an Internationally & Nationally nominated Freelance Photographer. This is something I am very proud of and love to do. It is one of my biggest passions beside organic gardening. My trusty camera that I have used for the past several years died the other day. Unfortunately there is no backup camera and currently with Tom off of work and us moving I don't know when I will be financially able to purchase a new or even gently used Nikon or Cannon digital slr. I'm crossing my fingers and may try bartering for one on craigslist or something. I feel like I lost my best friend when my camera died. I did everything I could to hold back the tears and Tom (my hubby) stood beside me and promised it would be ok. "We'll figure something out," he said to me in his calm, soothing and mellow voice. A day without my camera is a day without sunshine to me. I dearly miss my camera and I hope to soon find a new that is just as good, if not better.

On a positive note, one of the kitties have been adopted! Only a few more to go before we move. All are spayed and/or neutered, very healthy and just adorable. I created an entire page dedicated to adopting these beloved animals on my website the Giving Earth. If you want to see some of the adorable babies and ducks, visit my site and click on 'Animal Adoption'.

Though some of you may laugh and some may roll your eyes; I took the fairies up north last weekend on our trip. I had a wood create and walked our property to gather the ones that wished to go becasue of the new farmer and his chemicals. They fluttered in to the lined create and when several of the elementals from various plants and trees and other such things were ready, I gently covered them with a towel. We were hauling a few bales of straw up north as well so Tom rearranged the straw to firmly hold the wood create in place. We saw them dancing in the bed of the truck and riding what I called 'Air Waves' that were pockets of air getting caught between the truck and the trailer we were hauling. Pieces of the straw and several fairies twirled around in circles. When we reached our destination, I went to the edge of the woods with the create. Some of the fairies were already sneaking out the slatted side of the wood create but others patiently awaited for me to remove the towel. Some cautiously walked into the woods and others sprite-fully sprung out of the box and flew abruptly deep into the woods. They took a long a few crystals and seeds from our home to use in the new place. As I mentioned, several stayed here and told me a tale of the farmer and his chemicals. While I wish no one or thing harm, the fairies can be spiteful and I wouldn't be surprised if the new farmer has malfunctions with his tractors and spraying devices.

I also created a YouTube video last week. I took my blog post about Interacting with the Fairy Realm and created an educational relaxation and meditation video with art & music! The video is basically the blog I posted last week as mentioned above. The only difference is the viewing part and of course the added music. The video is available in HD for those interested.

Another new & cool thing I have done these past few weeks is reintroduce the Text Only versions of all styles of my Tarot & oracle Readings. This is a more affordable version that is emailed to you verses you receiving a ready to frame copy with stone or crystal. Same reading, different method of receiving it and half the price. Though I do have to admit the frame-able versions are beautiful and make a wonderful gift. If interested click on the Oracle Reading banner to the right of this page and you will be automatically directed to the area of interest.

Tomorrow is also the very last day that I ship any live plants from the Giving Earth website. All items currently available are buy 1 - get 1 free and can be shipped to the lower 48 states. There are beautiful maple trees up to 3 feet in height and stunning Hens n' Chicks at a valuable price.

We're still in the process of moving. Destiny (my 12 yr old daughter) just had her last day of school yesterday. I promised her a 'Going Away' party with all her friends from school. That will be sometime this weekend. I thought it best she had a gathering of her own to say goodbye to those she loves and will dearly miss. We all need a form of closure with this leave and move.

I wanted to say Thank You to all of you for being understanding at this time about the move and some of the regular and normal postings being late or frequently missing. I know I didn't get last weeks lunar reading done and I am sorry. I do figure there will be things missing and late here and there with this move and the current going ons we are doing. If I don't respond to a comment right away, it's only becasue I'm currently away for a day or so at a time from the computer while we move.
