Their talent amazing! I am going to find my peace today.... possibly on a mountain top!!! Enjoy your day...
Enjoy my latest poem I call: "For You" .......
~For You ~
How You Touch A Heart Like Mine
Some are caught up by finer things
All Sparkle & Shine
A must for them is pricey & new
For myself
It will never do.
Those are not the things
That leave me the need to catch my breath
My heart Skip
My foot misstep
It is not that I am strong
For I go about just hiking along
Stumble I do...
When sharing real moments of a heart that is true.
My mouth goes dry
My knees go weak
I babble on nervously or I
I can't even speak
Relaxed glances
Shared laughter filled looks
That's what trips me up
Or catches my heart on hook
It is never the things that money can buy
That will make me think twice
Or catch my eye
The only way to touch a heart like mine
Waste none of your money
Spend only your time
Make me stumble
Heart that is true
Even play me for a fool
Much enjoyment found
TIME spent with you.....
The risk at finding happiness
Comes at a price
Many reach to the wrong wallet to settle their accounts...
Realizing later their very best account has been lost.

Four Agreements ~ If nothing else...
This is One of my very favorite books: My Father had it at his house one of the first times I visited Sedona. I began to read it, and then I found it by chance at Jamba Juice when I returned. I figure when you keep running into a book, you are meant to read it! I really like what this book is about and I have tried to live up to each one of these rules for myself.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz ~A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
(Front Cover Flap)
BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
I find that I will often forget and have to remind myself of these. I also find that I will want to give this book to friends. Then I end up buying myself a new copy. I tend to tell kids at school as well as my own kids the following when I find that they are choosing bad words in their vocabulary: I will tell them that if a person's only chance at getting to know who we are is the impression of the words they hear us speak, and those words that they hear are bad, then what will they believe about us? Will they believe that we are good or bad? The answer being obvious, I then follow with: If people hear us speak good nicely chosen words, they will know us to be the good smart people that we are! I have told my kids this over and over. I also try to tell them that actions speak louder than words as well. Sometimes the impressions we give people in how we behave toward them will also do the same. If we go to a lunch and act wild and that is the only lunch we ever attend with them, then of course they will think we are just all the time wild people. Well, of course how would they know that my children just aren't used to drinking soda pop?
Anyway, I know that I just am still learning it all myself and that I have a long way to go in this life. I think I have done pretty well so far. I think learning the above agreements have helped me tremendously. I hope they help some of you as well!
Enjoy your Day! Keepitbubbly! ~xOx~Jeri

Maria~Fonte' Italy I think? I am still doing all the research on all of it and much of the records there were destroyed during the wartime. I know we have relatives there, but I am unsure that they are much aware of anymore.

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal
courts are wrong! If you found this to be 'Food for thought' send to as many as you think will be
enlightened as I hope you were.
(Please note that at no time is anyone told that they
MUST worship God.)

(This is Rough and right out of my head)
Don't leave it up to me
I've been here before
I may not want to leave
my heart is already out the door
we argue the same things
no matter how we start
So you can't put the blame
only on my heart.
I'm always telling you something
you already know....
My heart can only fall away from you
If you let go...
I'm always telling you something
