Empowering Daughters of God

While relaying to a friend the Mickey Mouse Christmas special, Duck The Halls, from a few years ago that aired on Disney Plus, something looked familiar about it as we looked at the pictures from the episode online.  By the time you are done reading this, I think you will understand.  In this episode Mickey Mouse is telling Donald Duck about all the wonderful things he does at Christmas.  Mickey invites him to stay for Christmas, but Donald is a duck and is supposed to travel south for the winter with Daisy, Scrooge, and Huey, Dewy, and Louie.  Well, Mickey makes Christmas sound soooo good that Donald just can't help himself! He escapes the car he and Daisy are driving south and runs back to Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy.  Mickey and Donald are so excited to complete the Christmas bucket list! As they complete this bucket list.......ice skating.....building a snowman.....cutting a tree and decorating it, etc....Donald starts to get really sick, in fact he starts fal...

  This week has been an interesting one for me. As I've been writing this I've had this overwhelming feeling that it's time to stand, that the fight is coming..........and what do you know Sunday morning I receive this email at work basically saying they will mandate the vaccine, which I responded to of course. Lately, I have felt myself hardening toward the world.......NOT hate in any sense of the term "harden", nor is my heart hard.  My heart has been saddened by the world, by people........but is soft, or compassionate toward those suffering the terrors and destruction of mind, body, and soul!  As our world successfully becomes immunized with fear, I'm here to suggest we immunize ourselves with courage in the coming days, weeks, and months.  I'm reminded of my past experiences that have led to this moment as I listen to some of my favorite people.  Thank you Bryan Hyde, Kate Dalley, and Barry Brownstein for helping me find courage and to rediscover the ...

 I love baking and if I had my own business it would be a bakery!  Could you imagine that I start my own bakery where I would make and sell items like French macarons, sugar candies, cake pops, cream puffs, trifle, pies, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, and pastries.  I would NOT provide services like making wedding cakes or personalized party cakes and treats.  I would simply make goods in my bakery and sell them directly to customers. What you see is what you get!  Upon arriving to purchase some sweet treats I give you a survey.  This survey has to be completed before any transaction can take place.......Not only that, but I would decide what you could buy, if anything, based on your answers.  The questions could include, but are not limited to....... What's your email address? What's your phone number? What's your address? Do you have any allergies? If so, what are they? Do you have any sensitivities? If so, what are they? Do you have any aversions or pre...

  As a young child I remember being touched by music so deeply that it brought me to tears at times!  It was like the piano called to me.  Before I even knew how to play I felt like I had a connection with it, as if it was an extension of my body and soul at the mere touch of it.  I was meant to play.  I always felt the same about my voice, I always wanted to be a singer!  Singing, for me, is like giving my body over to my soul, it's like speaking a different language, it's like allowing my soul to speak and communicate what's deep in my heart.  I am no prodigy, nor did I become a great pianist or singer.  When that young me first touched a piano and felt something beyond myself, little did I know that it was truly the language of my soul and that it would be my choice of remedy and expression for many years.  Little did I know that it would take 88 keys to unlock my heart.  It was truly my first love!  I came to know those 88 keys ...
