O.S.L.

Here we are at the end of January and thus far I've been able and fortunate to keep up with some letter writing and posting to my Facebook. It looks like I will be attending a Write Around Portland workshop in February through April. It one of those exercises I enjoy to stimulate my creative juices. My learning in the Order of Saint Luke the Healer is moving along, Lesson four is coming up next Tuesday.

Doing Drum Repairs and building for individuals is part and parcel of my monthly enjoyment, Last night I performed an exercise in Drum Meditation for the Unity Church here in Vancouver WA. It went very well and was received with much appreciation.

As part of my learning needs is to learn Italian, The local junior college offers a course in conversati0nal Italian. I would like to incorporate the language in my next book. "The Storytellers" is in the editing stage. When I get it back, I will pass it along to the publishers for a
Books-on-Demand publication. For a first book, I think this is the best way to go for me.

Ended ear

I was able to watch last year come to an end from my appartment here in Washington. We had a quiet evening filled with our love for each other, the Wife and I. the week before I was sick with a stomich flue and stayed ini bed from Christmas day to the following monday. Then a short trip to the INlaws. Had a great dinner with Mary, Walt and Jenni at Marys lovely home.
Ohana was a true respectable pet for the whole trip.he was calm and quiet, which surprised me completely. It was a pleasure to travel with her, After arriving home, it was nice to be in our comfort Zone. The smells and surroundings of home can be such a secure felling, I can see why the Elderly want to stay home more and more as they age. I am in that sort of space now and think it may become stronger as time passes.
News from the expectations in the future? Yes, I am trying to get people interested in joining the Me'tis Nation of the U.S. here in Washington. I am also working to become a Prayer Healer with-in the O.S.L.. Working with several friends, I have in mind to have a circle of meditators meeting weekly here in my home, to focus on extending energy to heal the scars of Mother Earth i and about Vancouver, Washington.
Lastly, I am making a calander to help me remember events I have committed to, ie. my Blog, web site, interest groups, and Genealogy. Maybe if I can do things in a more orderly fashion, I will be better able to keep up this year. that's all for today.
