Month: April 2009

  • Sparky is Finally Healing

    sparky-april-14-2009-change-of-bandageFinally! What a relief!. The drama is almost over even though the vet said it will take a while to get better. I took Sparky, my beautiful labrador, for a follow up visit for a change of bandage and the vet said it is healing! He said it is bleeding which is a sign that it is healing. Sparky kept licking the wound for six months so it wouldn’t bleed. But now with a thick splint as hard as a cast, there is no way that he can take it off.

    The vet said for the next month the bandage has to be changed every five days as new skin starts to form on the wound, he will be scraping off the old skin. And as time goes by, the time in between to change the bandage will be lessened.

    I have been talking a lot about our inner wounds in the last six months in this blog as a mirror of the financial meltdown. It made me think of what the vet said today: “It needs to bleed to heal.” Ironic right? This financial meltdown for some of us who lost major income during this time felt like a bleeding to death. I really have never experienced anything like this.  So now the pain is lessened  and I am moving forward. I have gone through the worst part. (more…)

  • Happy Easter..What is the Meaning of Resurrection?

    easter-sunrise1I went this morning to see a beautiful sunrise with my son. Now I am home to make sure Sparky is OK. It has been almost one week since he went to the vet and the cast is still one. Amazing! Today is Easter and the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. This morning before going to see the sunrise I went on the computer to find the meaning of resurrection and printed this out. I will attempt to go more in depth with this later because I have to go celebrate with my family. There are many definitions of Resurrection, some literal and some symbolic. (more…)

  • Exit Sign Leads to Entrance Sign

    entrance-sign-with-treeI spent a couple of hours last night uploading my beach and  Butterfly World to a video format Please forgive me if this post is long. I sense I am in a culmination of a long process that will lay the groundwork for some of my future posts. So I hope it makes sense. If not I will try to clarify as time goes by. It has taken me seven years to understand intense inner processes only because I chose to find answers to all my inner questions about the meaning of life and death. I know I will never understand everything and the more I know and understand, the more questions I have and the less I really know.I am constantly humbled by the majesty of this greater force we call God.

    Anyway, I was taking some pictures on Monday as I headed out to pick up my son at school before I went to the beach. I had been taking pictures in sequence of part of a shopping center that had been knocked down in order to build a new structure. Then on the way home, I took pictures of the location where I had my car accident almost seven years ago. That exit on the highway also has been rebuilt. I see it every time I have carpool and take the kids to school. (more…)

  • Invisible Angels…Visible Results

    clouds-like-angels1I read in the Miami Herald today that the six month descent in the economy appears to be leveling off.  It has been a 1 1/2 year descent being in the line of fire as a realtor.  My video of the triathlon gives me the imagerythat there is a finish line as long as you persist. All in all, it has been a great experience in a weird way.

    After seeing all the butterflies yesterday in Butterfly World, I hope I can come out of this phase soon and start flittering about again. A transformation has definitely happened again because I followed my main motto: Let Go, Let God. I follow it to the letter now. This has helped me to be kind of like a butterfly. I have been learning all kinds of new ways to work so I can hopefully write full time in the near future. I’m learning the internet mechanisms and all this wordpress blogging, plugins etc. If you look at a butterfly in action, it has major ADD. It does not sit still, except when it is laying its eggs. Then it’s off to another flower. (more…)
