My Sacred Script: Excerpt from The ZEN of Duct Tape™©

Image
My Sacred Script As I sit here and ponder My Sacred Script , it appears that another layer of my old self is being stripped away.  And just like the other layers that were removed prior to this, I am experiencing a certain pain on this day.    This pain can be liken to the labor pains of a pregnant woman ... as I know I am about to give birth to a stronger and more improved being. A Being that has stood the test of time and endured all trials and tribulations written out in My Sacred Script .   Challenges faced and overcome in order to obtain a higher status on a spiritual level. My prize is one of Honor and of strength.   Honor in knowing I did the best I could, and for the most part, all with good intentions.  Strength gained by overcoming adversity.  All of which was written in My Sacred Script .  And through agreements made so long ago I have become wiser; and yes, stronger. I hold no ill will towards any bei...

Keystone XL = 37.7 Million Additional Cars on the Road **PLEASE SHARE**

Image
MESSAGE FROM TOM STEYER: Soon President Obama will make a decision on expanding the Keystone XL pipeline. Here are some facts: It will transport more than 800,000 barrels of oil every day and emit 181 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. In spite of those facts, TransCanada is hitting us with a barrage of ads saying one thing:  The Keystone XL pipeline won't do any harm. If that sounds impossible, it's because it is. Building the pipeline would be the equivalent of adding 37.7 million new cars on the road every day. And I want to be clear about something: There is no way to adequately offset that damage. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spinning fairy tales. With so much misinformation on the airwaves,  it's up to us to get the truth out -- share this infographic on Facebook  and tell your friends just what is on the line: http://action.nextgenclimate.org/37-million-cars There...

Beekeeping Industry Sues EPA for Approval of Bee-Killing Pesticide

Image
  National Beekeeping organizations along with the National Honey Bee Advisory Board have come together in an attempt to protect the bee industry by an appeal against EPA for its approval of the pesticide Sulfoxaflor, shown to be "highly toxic" to honey bees, and other insect pollinators. Sulfoxaflor is a new chemistry, and the first of a newly assigned sub-class of pesticides in the "neonicotinoid" class of pesticides, which some scientists across the globe have linked as a potential factor to widespread and massive bee colony collapse. The case is filed as the beekeeping industry across the country struggles for survival, and faces the costly effects of pesticides upon their businesses.  The National Pollinator Defense Fund, American Honey Producers Association, National Honey Bee Advisory Board, the American Beekeeping Federation, and beekeepers Bret Adee, Jeff Anderson and Thomas R. Smith have filed an appeal against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA...

Dreaming Dreams I Dream When I Dreamt And Why I'll Never Let My Dead Mother Drive Me Anywhere Again!

Image
Okay so all my friends know I have these really outrageous dreams.  Very lucid!  Very odd and Very real outrageous dreams.    Salvador Dali wishes he had dreams like mine!  *LOL* But all kidding aside though, my most recent dreams were of me travelling with my mother (deceased by the way) in our old 1973 Chevy Impala.  Burgundy with a white vinyl top.  Still looking brand spanking new.   (see picture below) At first I didn't recall any of the events that led up to me being in the car with my mother.  It wasn't until I put myself into a deep meditation that  I remembered anything said other than me screaming WATCH OUT!  What is up with all these damn dead squirrels???!    Naturally, before meditating  I went on line in search of some sort of interpretation. I looked hi & lo for something-- anything that would help me make sense of this new addition of odd dreams and give me a starting point. ...
