Your spirit guides are correct about the coming creativity as I have felt the same in my own life. A quiet period before a burst of activity. The transition period should be slow, a mulling over of thoughts while deciding the best course of action.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-68614967676653399512009-07-10T06:31:17.227-04:002009-07-10T06:31:17.227-04:00It's been awhile and just wanted to pop in rea...It's been awhile and just wanted to pop in real quick and say I'm sorry to have read about Jake.Coffee Messiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908162048706236634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-9842051139306448702009-07-10T02:28:12.323-04:002009-07-10T02:28:12.323-04:00Now what?

I was just about to walk into the gym, and a beam of sunshine lit up the entrance, as the sun was setting, and the first thing I thought was "golden". And then my mind slipped over to 'The Gold Puppy' and then to you and Jake. It was a peaceful moment for me. Although it did make me feel a bit guilty for not having enough time to visit with you and Jake in DC when we were there in late May.<br /><br />Keep on keepin' on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-50665793529266930202009-07-09T15:06:30.076-04:002009-07-09T15:06:30.076-04:00I love the symbolism of the beautiful wrought iron...I love the symbolism of the beautiful wrought iron gate.
