Cycles and Seasons – Monday Oracle 30 March 2020
“The frost which kills the harvest of a year, saves the harvests of a century, by destroying the weevil or the locust.

Sorry You Missed Me Yesterday…
“Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.” ~ Gever Tulley I was intending to blog yesterday, and then I couldn’t.

For When It’s Hard To Be Grateful…

On Overcoming Obstacles
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” ~ Calvin Coolidge I have always wanted to […]
Saturday Breakfast
“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” ~ Elbert Hubbard I’ll keep this morning’s blog short because I have to dash!

She’ll be Apples…
“Bean finds the best apple in our tree and hands it up to me. “You know what this tastes like when you first bite into it?” she asks. “No, what?” “Blue sky.” “You’re zoomed.” “You ever eat blue sky?” “No,” I admit. “Try it sometime,” she says. “It’s apple-flavored.” ~ Rodman Philbrick, The Last Book in the […]
