2012 is Upon Us! Exciting Times!

"..... is paramount that we begin to feel what is occurring right now rather than getting lost in trying to find exacts to what is occurring to us as we move through the final crystallined energy shifts within the Lightbody formation. To feel is vital. If you are busy trying to fathom out just what is happening rest assu
red you will not find the answer by looking or thinking from the Linear mind perspective/angle. You are guided to allow yourself period of rest now from the beginning of December right through to 1st January 2013. Allow your body the space to feel, going within, meditation, trusting, work with crystals, holding them, being at peace within yourself. lighting a candle. Stop the searching, feel the motion at work as your lightbody is moving into the final stages of the crystallined energy formation. I will not be participating in posting for a while due to needing, myself, to experience the next few weeks as they enfold energetically for us. If it is necessary to pass anything on then I will do so but a time of peace and stillness and going within is upon us all. Remembering the peace there is in silence. Remembering the space we create when we are still, mind stillness, thoughtless and just being. This creates a magnificent connection with the Universal energies beaming down upon us. Trust, all is in divine order, all is as it should be."

DIY: Pumpkin Spice Aroma   

http://mountainroseblog.com/pumpkin-spice-essential-oil-blend/

It’s the time of year for baking goodies, enjoying beloved company, and filling the air with warm spicy aromas! Diffusing essential oils is a simple and effective way to fill a room with your favorite seasonal scent, especially if you don’t have time to bake a pie. A classic blend for this time of year is pumpkin spice, which brings back warm feelings and memories of fresh baked pumpkin pie and family gatherings. This blend will not only fill your room with spicy goodness, it will also help disinfect the air while bringing a smile to your face. So, skip those expensive synthetically perfumed candles and make this delicious smelling treat!
Pumpkin Spice Essential Oil Blend
Blending Directions: Add all essential oils to a glass bottle. One 1/4oz bottle will hold this blend perfectly. Screw cap on tightly and invert the bottle to blend the oils. Do not shake!
Diffusing Directions: Fill your essential oil diffuser reservoir with water. Add 5-6 drops of the Pumpkin Spice Essential Oil Blend. Light a tea candle in base of your diffuser and enjoy as your space fills with this spicy aroma! (The diffuser pictured is our new Ceramic Diffuser, which is made in the USA).

Happy blending and diffusing!

A Thanksgiving Weekend Mini Vacation

We had a most wonderful funfilled Thanksgiving Weekend (and the weekend's not even over!)!!!

Did you know, that if you go to Orlando on Thanksgiving Day, most normal American-blooded folk are NOT driving around the streets of Orlando, but are more than likely stuffing themselves with turkey (ok, perhaps not us vegetarian types:), dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and pumpkin pie?  Do you know what this means???!!!  The streets of Orlando are abandoned!!!  Yet, the theme parks are still open!  (ok, and this also means, we were one of the few English speaking persons in attendance:O)  Seriously though, Orlando was like a ghost town!  So, we dug out our beloved Sea World Annual passes and hit the park again!  (there are still areas of the park we had not seen!)  (**HUGE shout out to my mom,  who surprised us with an awesome gourmet picnic lunch!!!  This, on top of preparing a very fine Thanksgiving Meal for a crowd!)

And, it was Christmas at Sea World!!!! 

   
 
While at Sea World, we went into the Aquarium, and discovered some WAY cool sea creatures, like this (sea horses):

 

AND THIS!



And, true to our second annual tradition, we had Thanksgiving dinner, at my parents' on FRIDAY:

 

Little Miss Angel (age 8) made the pumpkin pie...ALL BY HERSELF!  I'm so proud of my little culinary princess!  And Gramma Judy did a mighty fine job with all the fixins (and I'm sure the turkey too, I just can't personally attest to that...and once again, no tofurkey was served for the vegetaweirdo types:D)

 

Oh, and we can't forget our second annual sledding in Florida at the Leesburg tree lighting ceremony!



And, once again, the girls got on stage and played their kazoos (from a factory ALL the way from beautiful Beaufort, South Carolina!...may I mention that we have indeed been to the factory and they offer a nice tour and have a museum with some WAY cool kazoos!)

 

THIS JUST OUT!!!!!.....the girls voted their mom a "cool parent!"  This won her a free pass to rock it out on stage to the beat of "Rockin Around the Christmas Tree" with all the other "cool parents"...jammin on our inflatable guitars!!!  Certainly a show, nobody would want to miss:D

 

Today, the girls and gramma made beautiful ornaments, and sold them...the girls decided that they would donate 100% of their proceeds ($6!!) to the very wonderful local organization: The Litter Box (of Hilton Head Island)...this is a resale shop where 100% of their earnings goes toward a local no kill humane society; a very wonderful cause!

Oh, and finally, just in case you were wondering, the puppies played....

And of course, what Thanksgiving weekend would be complete sans lemon picking!
