Michael-Ann was born in the wagon of a travellin' show. Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw. Her daddy did whatever he could... preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good.
from the heart & soul of poet and friend Tony Haynes:
I WISH YOU GOD.
i wish you God in those familiar places...
i wish you God in friendly faces.
i wish you God as wide as this universe is spacious... Benevolent and Gracious.
i wish you God.
i wish you God in a flower...
i wish you God in sweetness and sour.
i wish you God transparent, transcendental... Experienced and Gentle.
a God so amazing...
you can't find the words or phrasing.
so you just raise your eyes to the stars...
and you start gazing.
you don't speak... you hum.
you don't just seek... you succumb.
raising your arms above your head...
your heart is warm... and your Spirit is fed.
what do you know? my wish came true.
now I can see... God lives in you.
in your walk. in your talk.
it's like a pull and a tug. i feel it in your hug.
there's no friction, no issues.
we're no longer at odds.
our relationship is stronger...
i'm so glad I wished you God.

Happy Friday 13th! Energy is neither good nor bad, it is how we decide to use that energy that defines who we are and the kind of experiences we have. Friday 13th is a powerful day, but not one to be feared. We must always remember that whatever we think about we will attract into our lives. By keeping our thoughts positive and proactive this powerful stream of energy can be used to bring good things into our lives. So don’t face today with fear but look at it as a day as any other filled with possibilities, it is a powerful day none the less so choose to use the energy wisely! Have a wonderful day and weekend too:-)
Hey Little Sis, Happy Birthday to a talented, beautiful, loving person...YOU...I hope that you did something nice for yourself today. I think the world of you. You have a pure heart...i love you!
It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands.
Wishing you a blessed Samhain/Halloween Michael-Ann
Great to see you too :) I'm glad you had fun at the party!! Coffin parties are always a good time! Hope to see you soon...until then, keep on dreamin'...
Welcome to my circle of friends :-) I look forward to getting to know you. I hope you are having a lovely week my new friend
Walk and touch peace every moment. Walk and touch happiness every moment. Each step brings a fresh breeze. Each step makes a flower bloom. Kiss the Earth with your feet. Bring the Earth your love and happiness. The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
Some days you may feel as if you are invisible, that life is going on around you and you aren’t part of it. Remember that at soul level we are all one, all connected to one another. It doesn’t cost anything to make the effort to smile at the person passing by you on the street, to hold the door open for someone or to exchange a few words with the next one in line, or to thank the one who serves you in a shop. You may be the only person who will acknowledge them that day. It is these little touches that make us all feel part of society, part of each other. When we raise the spirits of another, that energy comes back to us magnified, so everyone benefits, if we all did this what a difference it would make to the world. Start today reach out to someone and be the one to make a difference!
