Metal archway at the entrance to the War Memorial commemoration

Click on the picture above to view the online card.

Observe this as a special day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. Memorial Day was first observed in May of 1868. Arlington National cemetery was adorned in flowers, which were placed upon the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers. After World War 1, the official recognition included any American who died fighting for his nation’s freedom.

Which was the first state to honor the holiday originally called Decoration Day? Write me your response without doing the research. It’ll be interesting to see which states are thought of first.

This officially concludes our War and Peace series. May there always be room in your heart for those who have gone before you.

How are you welcoming your new year? It is a good question to ask because many of us see it the other way around, “How is the year welcoming us?”

Ponder for a moment and visualize walking along a path of rose petals. Are fragrant petals thrown at your feet as you walk, or are crushed petals blowing away from you? Are you part of a celebration, or do you see traces of someone else’s?

Most of us want to be part of a celebration, to experience joy and happiness that can be shared.  There are many willing to discover new trails; however, it is the trail within that leaves noticeable tracks for others to follow.

When this happens, life showers us with rose petals in approval of the path we are on.  Perhaps, many of us fail to see what really is infront of us, because whether we choose to believe it or not, life celebrates our existence!

If someone were to grant you 3 wishes, how wonderful would that be? Can you think of three special ones? It would be interesting to learn of our readers’ wishes. After this article, please comment on what your wishes would be for 2008.  Life is ready to grant so much more because 3 rose petals are not sufficient to cover the path you walk upon.

Merry Christmas everyone! It is Christmas Eve, and I have a card waiting for you below. Hope you can enjoy this day without all the Christmas rush! I only have a couple of things to buy, as I chose to have a candlelit evening with harp music, friends and food, instead of shopping.

It has been my goal to give special attention to the true meaning of Christmas, and invite the spirit of Christmas into my heart. I believe it is possible to have that while shopping, baking, running errands etc; fighting the crowd, long queues, scheduled visits, it doesn’t matter what it is, as each day is a bonus.

There was a time I was in hospital, bedridden, wishing I could be out there, fighting the crowds.  I would have carried a smile and given it to others, just to be out there having the ability to walk, talk and move around. Now I can enjoy all of this, and yes, I carry that smile still, because everyday is indeed a bonus!

As promised in my previous article, here is a thought for you to reflect upon, from my book ”Gentle Whispers.”

“Some travelers may stop at the first barricade they come to and spend many years figuring out how to get through.  Others may look upon the barricade as a marker on a map to help them continue the parallel journey.”

This thought goes right along with the poem that is spotlighted on the main site.  Be sure to visit that page. Other poems will be spotlighted as soon as I get others to join the journey with me.  It will be a rewarding one for all of us.

When one thinks of a rewarding journey, one thinks of progress.  Look at the site and see how we are progressing. There are spotlights on: video, photo, and poetry. The main site’s layout is done now.  Enjoy the other video featured on it and read its accompanying article, “The Everest Peace Project.”  Be sure to share your opinions. 

I wouldn’t mind hiking to base camp of Mount Everest. Hiking to the top of Mount Everest is way out of reach for me and my personal desires; however, sharing this inspiring story has captivated my heart. How has it affected yours?

The next article may not take us to Mount Everest but will take us on a parallel journey.  Stay tuned!

There is much to look forward to regarding the above special topics. It will be an exhilarating and rewarding journey of personal development for all of us. As we walk together, there will be occasional invitations to view the main site to see how progress is coming along; however, it is this blog that gives life to the web site. It is my hope you will come back often.

There are books, stories, personal experiences we can enjoy sharing during this walk. We will discover many wonderful trails; some, of which, may interwine with the main site. It will be an exciting experience for everyone!

My goal is for us all to recognize the gentle whispers in life. They can open up a whole new world for us if we know how to listen. Mastering this skill is no easy task, and for some, it may take a lifetime. Is this not what a journey is all about? As long as there is movement then we are on a journey; a journey of personal discovery.

Personal discoveries reside along trails that are shared with others.  If one chooses to be alone, the terrain will be less forgiving. It is, therefore, hard for success to come to only one traveler. The wing span of success is long and spreads out to those who share the trail, making it easier for others to follow.

This is a trail I want us all to be on. In the next article, I will include a quote from my book: “Gentle Whispers” which will offer further insight to this journey.

We will begin our journey with a thought for the day; possibly including more in future articles. If you wish to have your thought for the day posted in a greeting card for a future article, you can email your request by selecting the CONTACT button in the far left corner at the top of this page.

Open and enjoy now one of the online greeting cards and its philosophical insight.
