Thursday’s Thoughts: Universal Wings

Posted on May 14, 2015 by Silver James

I’d tucked this nudge from the Universe back in my music box-like draft file, keeping it safe from rain and windy weather. (A prize to anyone who recognizes the song reference.) There have been many times on the journey that … Continue reading →

Monday…It’s Here.

Posted on May 11, 2015 by Silver James

Here’s a quick wrap up of my weekend…and last week. We survived the storms, dodging between tornadoes and remaining mostly on high ground though streams, rivers, ponds, and lakes are at near flood levels. That’s good. Mostly. We’ve been experiencing … Continue reading →

Posted on May 8, 2015 by Silver James
