I hope you enjoyed the July 4th festivities. We created our own which began in Mount Charleston (just outside Las Vegas). We continued the celebrations in Vegas, as you can see in the video below. You may also be able to compare this one to last year’s celebrations somewhere in this blog journal.

Quick note re. a previous article: For those of you who did the research on water crystals as well as view the rice experiment, will perhaps understand the success of my own personal experience.

I placed a label with a very special word on it, on a small bottle of eye solution. At that time, my eyes were very sore, hurting, dry, and extremely uncomfortable. I could hardly keep my eyes open. In the past, I would resort to using eye drops that would produce very little or no immediate effect (nerve damage/side effect due to a previous car accident). This was the perfect moment for me to try something different since the discomfort was at its highest level.

After some contemplation, I thought I would ”test the waters”  and proceeded to select my word and place the label on the bottle. After a minute or so, I tried the solution, and was astounded at the immediate results. Not only did it work right away but the discomfort never came back (as it often did).

It has worked ever since (whenever I get those spells). I am curious to know how many of you have tried the water experiment and, if so, what word you have chosen? For some fun, if you can guess my word I’ll throw in a 3 day getaway. Let me know via this article so we can all take a peak. Also, if you decide to do the experiment let us know what personal word you have chosen. If you haven’t a clue what I am talking about go to the “Art/Photo” spotlight, select the current spotlight on there, and view the video clips. The rice experiment is the last one to view.

One final note: Look at the previous article, “Song of the Magpie” and see if you detect anything unusual in one of the photos and video clips. It’s pretty amazing! If you can guess what it is, a 3 day getaway is yours as well (for 2 adults and 2 kids). Don’t forget to respond via that article. This concludes our July 4th fun!

This is the final episode on my trip to Austria and, as with fireworks, I wanted to leave you with a climatic end. Hope you enjoyed this Alpine Treasure.  Watch the slide presentation below as the plane gracefully waves her goodbye over Switzerland in a shrouded embrace over mountains, rivers, forests and farmlands. Her ambition is to cross over the English Channel and welcome another culture waiting in the wings!

The next article will be the continuation of my trip to England as well as more updates on the main site: “Stairway To Secrets”. We have added new spotlights with great video and audio for your entertainment. Look at People Spotlight and be entertained by Showtime Utah. There is footage recorded there by Fox Channel 13. Also check out Music and Video Spotlight for further enjoyment! There is some great talent out there! We have more surprises coming. Be sure to think about contributing to any of the spotlights. We are in need of Miracles….Do you have one to share or know of someone who has had a remarkable experience?

For further excitement that will greatly enhance the lives of our viewers, we have put together a Wishing Well Program. This is all about those who haven’t stopped dreaming nor given up on blueprints and great ideas! Read about the person we are spotlighting and their project/dream under the Wishing Well tab.

Stairway To Secrets is all about you and your mark in the world. Spread the word and send people to stairwaytosecrets.com. This web site honors you!

Hope you enjoyed the slide presentation showing interesting buildings of the past. I spent many a time walking along some of those streets. The images and feelings are still with me as I ponder those special moments of my recent trip. The experience of  walking down memory lane felt so wonderful and stimulating as I recalled my youthful days!   

Are there some memory lanes for you to take? Let me take you down another one and show you what I’ve done on my main site. I would encourage you to think about creating your own visual lane or sending me some pictures if you need help with putting something together.  

This is an invitation for you  or a family member to participate and be placed in the queue for People Spotlight. Go to the “About” tab above this blog article and enjoy learning more about your hostess! This was a fun project for me to do as I created my own visual lane (which brought me closer to my parents). Be sure to read the additional paragraphs below that particular slide presentation.

I never realized before how gorgeous my parents were, both looking like movie stars! My father’s appearance is a cross between Jimmy Dean and Johnny Depp. See for yourself! I have more black and white photos of him and, in the future, I may do a People Spotlight on him to show you more of the resemblance. 

It would be fun to receive your input so I can pass it onto him (and embarrass him.) My mother has her gorgeous movie star looks and is in a class of her own. Both have dark hair and brown eyes. My sister has too, complimenting both our parents. I, on the otherhand, am the odd ball having green/grey eyes and blonde hair.

Enjoy the photos and music, and be thinking about collecting your own photos from a family album. You can always take your digital camera and photograph the hard copies (which I had to do on some of my own). I look forward to hearing back from you and helping you with your project. Think about how your family may love the surprise!

Nightlife in Vienna is filled with movement and life!  Footage is a little dark as copying to this site darkened everything! (I promise things will improve with time). Original sounds were left in tact so you can enjoy the walk with me.

Updates are an ongoing process so be sure to visit spotlights in: Video, Art, Recipe and Quote in our Stairway To Secrets site. We welcome your comments and contributions!

Let us know if you have tried any of the spotlight recipes yet, or if you have seen some other great video clips. This is a community with “Amazon” opportunities! With digital cameras in so much demand, there are great photos that need to be shared and seen.

More still to come of our trip to Vienna! In the next article there will be some additional, beautiful buildings.. and perhaps, a tram ride for you to enjoy! If you are new to this series be sure to visit the “Mystery Place” series where you can enjoy more picturesque  scenes of Vienna. Selecting the Blog tab at the top of this web site will take you to all of the articles, if you have only selected this current one to view.
