January 2001

Last year went by just way too fast and I've neglected my journal terribly.  Even so I've documented the past year in pictures which you will see as you read along about our adventures through the year!  I should have holiday pictures up soon.

Recently, Lee flew in a plane for the first time - not just any plane and I particularly liked these shots!

Let's see . . . Drew got glasses. . . 

Spencer got milk and we all had blast for Kim's birthday in Georgia.  The Comedy Club was a awesome time and I won  a free beer!

We went to the beach this summer.

... had a picnic in the woods and 

....the mountains for snow in the winter. Ate at a place called Dillards and couldn't believe the amount of food they brought to the table!

Lee made a Cactus Man named Poncho and sold him to a restaurant in Panama City that was opening!  Hey big bucks :)  We miss him tho' so I've convinced Lee to make us another one so we can see him locally!

I love shopping on eBay and I've found the most beautiful antiques and collectibles you just wouldn't believe. 

Revamped the companies website a bit and we're just doing great guns with business -- a real banner year!

We celebrated Mom's birthday in style this year with a surprise party at a the Mason Jar in Orlando. 

In spirit,

Andrea

These are funny, touching, inspiring stories
and thoughts about life.  These are mine...I hope you will share yours.

Dream of this . . . 

Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that
we are powerful beyond measure.
It is
our Light, not our darkness that most
frightens us.

We ask ourselves--Who am I to be
brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There
is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people do not feel
insecure around you.
We were born to
manifest the Glory of God that is within
us. It is not just in some of us, it is in
everyone.

And as we let our light shine, we
unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are
liberated from our own fears, our
presence automatically liberates
others.

Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural
Speech

Seat of the Soul and the Brethren as well as others which relate to my Light Infusion class.  Today's class had us practicing to become one with something outside of ourselves.  We chose fire for today's exercise and it was fascinating how most everyone's experience was similar.  None felt that fire itself was hot, some felt it playful, others thought it soft or sharp -- but neither extreme of temperature was mentioned.  Ken felt it was hungry so did Jean - that it breathed as we did and eat as we did and thrived on oxygen as well.  We identified the colors and that the blue has no temperature in a laboratory setting ...that it is the orange or red which carries the gases which create the combustion.  How lovely to be fire even for a moment.  Have you ever firewalked?  Phyllis told us about how she had and wasn't burned.  Laughing she explained that fire was her friend.
