It's a bird!
no..It's a plane!
no.....It's Chas-z!

Faster than a locomotive little Chas-z could out run a Greyhound if put to the test. Her tongue was just as fast too! Yuk!!  You learned quick around this little gift from heaven to NOT put you face too close!  Ha hA!  Chas-z was a  sweetheart and was a snugglebunny.  She loved curling up in circles, hiding her nose to keep it warm while she dreamed of chasing rabbits, squirrels and hunting for critters such as moles in the yard.  Chas-z was a true wanderer at heart.  Wanderlust took her to many a close call, even though much of her life was spent indoors where it was safe.  Never was she so happy as to run off sniffing, smelling, chasing and checkingout all the local animals be it in the woods or urban neighborhoods.

Chas-z was an old dog.  Fully blind and deaf and couldn't get up on the couch by her self anymore.  The past year has been tough and she was nearly lost about 2 months ago.  I knew the end was near and was happy she didn't suffer with pain or lingering illness.  Chas-z was called to the skyroad this past weekend (via stroke) after 15 years of being my companion, bedwarmer and neverending source of unconditional love.  She will be sorely missed.  She lived a good life chasing balls and wagging her tail.  I know she made some good friends on Gaia when her photo was put up as my icon, I just wanted to let her world wide fan club know she's gone, but in a much better place and I'm sure her tail is still wagging with a smile.  So long Chaz.

Ok..not New New...actually it is pretty old., like a hobbit house would be....but the perfect new place finally arrived! YippEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!..

About 9 years ago, I had a co-worker with whom I became friends and business partners. We both loved antiques and started a booth together at one of the local malls.  During my association with her I had the opportunity to visit her mother in a 'Senior' community. I had liked the neighborhood and thought it would be a great place to live ...someday...not being eligible at the time.  Well, in June, I became eligible to entertain such thoughts and drove through the area two weeks ago to see if any of the homes were available for rent. I drove slowly through the community, feeling very compelled to one particular street. I even drove up and down it 3 times, still not seeing anything available to my liking.
I continued to search through the city for available housing, finding nothing in my price range that accepted animals. 2 days later...after the drive through the senior community ..there was an ad.
Fenced yard, just the right size and price, so I called.  They would put me on the list to interview and call later. This week, I went to see the place, being first in line... guess where it was!  Yup...right on the street I was driving up and down. In addition, it has great Feng Shui, beautiful flower gardens, Tons of storage, everything I wanted in ammenities, a great price AND>>>>>>>> I get to keep BOTH of my dogs!!!!!  Turns out the key to my new home was simply... patience.  I'll be busy moving the next couple of weeks and won't be online much. I'll be back soon. Love and hugs to everyone

I was very excited to find that housing is generally about $200 a month cheaper in the town I am moving to from where I am now ...but...I'm finding they do NOT like dogs. Dog friendly houses are costing about $250 MORE than I am paying now, which I don't have in my budget.
I knew I might have to give up my big dog, but I've held out hoping to find something where I could keep him. Now I'm finding, I can't even find a place to take the small dog and I start my new job on Monday.  Commuting 50 miles with gas$4.06/gal is not a happy thing not to mention I got so excited I've already given my evil landlord my notice of departure. I'm down to praying for a hobbit house now...See Divine Love Experiment pod.... I'm keeping the faith, its just becoming harder to swallow that I might actually have to give them up. I've already quit my local job and am starting the new job on Monday. It's a little late to have 2nd thoughts. What to do Frodo?!! Oh my, what to do?! Pray, pray, pray! PE

I met a young man of around 11 years old back in the 1970's.  He was my across the street neighbor and quite an impressive pre-teen he was.  Above average intellegence and very spiritual. He and I became friends and confidants over the years. We kept close contact for many years but given both have the nature of a gypsy spirit, we did finally lose track of one another.  We reconnected about 15 years ago for a brief period but soon lost touch once more. About a year or so ago, I thought...21st century! I'll google him! Guess what! There he was, in a newspaper article all grown up (He's turning 40 in August!~) and working for a University! Oh my!, I feel like a proud big sister! I emailed him and couldn't believe my eyes when it came back with a response!  We have been communicating off and on since then and I hope we never lose track again, but guess what I found out last week?......He's been a member of Zaadz/Gaia since before I joined in 2006!  We were here together all this time and didn't even know it! So it is with great joy I introduce all the friends in my little circle to my dear buddy Emrys!  He has been thinking about becoming an ambazaadzdor, so enourage him ok???!! It's just a little story to remind you all that great minds think alike and the Universe is working in perfect order!

I just love Hobbit Houses! Likewise I always like the Bajoran's houses on Star Trek Deep Space Nine too!  So airy and I love arched doors with round windows. I don't know if they have Hobbits or Bajorans in Idaho..but I am looking. 

I thought I would take a minute to catch my friends up on what's been going on in my world.  I am working on creating a whole new life..that's all.

I start back to school on July 9th in a town 50 miles from here.  With fuel prices as they are, I've decided to forego communting and just move down there.  This of course led to finding a new job, which I did and it starts on July14..and now.... to find a Hobbit House..or apartment.  I have hopes of finding one this week, so I can have a full month to get moved.

I am also looking at new cars.  Even though I love my little black jeep "Golana" (Tsalagi for Raven)..she was not economical in the best of days.  Since her engine became damaged she now gets about 12 miles to the gallon, so finding an economical car is a big priority.

Soon, I will have a whole new life.  After living in the Sandpoint region for about 10 years, I'll be headed back south where I started out in Idaho...Coeur D' Alene. It s a beautiful little town, but has become quite urban in the past decade since I was there last.  Lots of shopping malls and fast food joints.  Nonetheless, it is a charming place to live with lake views once considered the best in the US by National Geographic.

The hardest thing about moving is I am giving serious consideration to giving away my dog Rowdy.  I love him to death and he is a good dog. He is however, too big for an apartment house ( and too noisy), as he is a country dog.  His enourmous shedding destroys carpets and so he should really live outside where he can be happy.  There are some other issues with him as well...but...I come from a belief that if you adopt a dog, it is for the life of the dog. I am having a tough time wrapping my head around the idea of giving him away.  On the other hand, finding housing in this area that accepts large animals is almost impossible. ....Deep Breath..."My world is filled with the golden rays of Divine Light and all that is possible embraces my life".......May the best of all solutions for Rowdy and I be manifest....
I think I will be able to keep Chas-z (Wadda Face) as she is only 18lbs and a quiet dog. She could easily live in an apartment.

As with all chaos..there are a couple of hitches to be ironed out, like how am I going to get to go on vacation with my friends in August given I have a new job and no money.  Again...."My world is filled with the golden rays of Divine Light and all that is possible embraces my life" Deep Breath....Deep Loving Breath. I soooooooooo need a massage!

I've been working 2 jobs since last August, working 7 days a week. I have had ...maybe....7 days off since then one at a time now and then. The work lately has been going to 11PM and hard work like moving furniture and standing on concrete for extended periods. My body aches and isn't looking forward to moving more furniture...But....I am VERY excited about the new beginnings in my life.  I turned 55 recently and that takes from from a 9 year (54) to a 1 year (55) in numerology.  From completion to beginnings.  I look forward to fresh new energy in my world and the excitement of new life unfolding.  Potentials unrealized unti now and learning new things both at school and the new job.  Well....I will miss the elder's I've been working with, but once my schooling is over, I'll be back to that work in a way.  I am going to school to become an Interfaith Minister with the intent of getting certified as a Hospice Chaplain. For the time being I'll be working at a bank...not fun or interesting....but a new piece of pie that pays better than what I make now and shall we talk holidays???????

Well...sitting here typing does not get me a hobbit house...so off I go on my new adventure.  A big thank you to all of you who have given me the moral support to get through the last couple of years.  Ohmsmom..Doug..Peri and all the rest of you.. a great big hug....(((((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))))))))....PE

I don't really remember my first.  What I do recall is when I was about 8 years old visiting friends out in the country on the Brazos River in Centeral Texas.  It was August and the meteor shower was in full glory. We wished on a lot of falling stars that night.  I now do an exercise routine with my residents at the Assisted Living Center where I work, based on that experience.  We create a ball of Tai chi engergy between our legs and raise it up to the heavens to become a star in the Milky Way or another galaxy and let it go. The last star we raise in the series is always a falling star for all the children who need to make wishes. The elders love the ritual and it touches deep in the heart of anyone who has made a wish on a falling star.
My other favorite time was in the 1980's during the Harmonic Convergence.  I was working at DFW Intl Airport which is powered by solar energy. I happened to be working midnight shift.  I worked in the building which had our solar array on the roof. Huge solar cells, can't tell how many now, but big and abundant.  It was summer and the hot sun had fed the cells all day long. About 3AM in the silence left after literally millions of people had traversed the halls and shadows of the airport, I took my 'lunch' break atop the roof among the solar array.  There was an immense full moon surrounded by millions of stars looking down on the surreal landscape of the barren airport.  I sat there for an hour with a large quartz crystal meditating and absorbing the throbbing energy of mother earth, the human trancendance and the powers of the sky. It was an incredible experience. One which I will always cherish.

5:30 A.M. PST. When I first wake up.
I can lie there and think without interruption, without complication, and with fresh clear rested energy. Wish I had figured that out back when I was in college! It took me 50 years to catch on yo this one, Better late than never, eh?

My most creative period was during the early 1990's.  I was poor as a churchmouse which stimulated a lot of creative problem solving.  In addition I was working as an energy and bodyworker constantly channeling on a daily basis.  I also did regular kundalini Rajanada Yoga every week.  My imagination was full blown during this period.  I was living in a community of artists, musicians and holistic resources which when all combined stimulated my imagination like I have never experienced since.  I do believe the music I heard, the clearing of my centers and the inspiration daily resulted in this experience. Since then I have had a lot of personal challenges I am currently healing. I am working hard on restoring my life to the clarity and beauty of that time period with one change.  This time.. I set my intent to experience it without the poverty. ;9)) Peace Eagle

My eyes to see with, my ears to hear with, my legs to walk with and my heart to know they are loved.

I work with elders every day.  They need our love, support, compasssion, time and attention.  They want our ears to hear their stories and our eyes to see beauty of their years. They need our hugs and our respect.
and...please support Medical Reform!

I received this photo from a friend.  I was told another of her friends actually took the photograph. The fun part being it supposed to have been taken only a couple of blocks from my home. I have received other commentary that this could be a hoax..and the photo is an old from the net.  I do not know and I am now investigating.  IF it IS in my neighborhood, I do hope to see it !! What a sight it must be.  What a beautiful animal where ever she is! (Note..I hope this works, I'm not a techie and not sure if I'm loading the photo correctly, if it's not there I'll try again later)  Namaste'  Peace Eagle
