Music Monday! It's a Beautiful Day!!

-
I say that SO much here since we moved. I just can't help it.
There is just something that hits me when I take a minute and take in the surroundings. The thought pops in my head, it is beautiful. What is beautiful? Everything.

Early this morning, the fog was thick and beautiful.
Then the sun came out and is sparkling through the trees. And the cool breeze is coming thought the windows blowing the curtains.The cicadas are singing their songs.


It is just a beautiful day.
No matter that we are completely stressed about money.
No matter that Raige's sales are slow. No matter I have a list of chores to do and projects to finish.
No matter that the path I was looking for is no clearer than when I started looking for it.

All that I have is beautiful day after beautiful day.
That seems to be what this song is about.

We may not have lost everything just yet, soon enough we will reach that point, but we are happier than ever knowing we have the opportunity to walk down our own path.
It's a beautiful day.

    Rebecca... You just made my day better too! You helped me, today, to be more observant of my surroundings and a warmth enclosed me like a feather bed.

    I, too, am so thankful for each and every day and feel peaceful and so very blessed by the abundance of positive influences that surround me.

    You are one of those. Hugs, Faye

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
