Summertime


It was the summer of 1970. I hadn't been this happy with a man in a very long time.  I felt adored, finally, after so many years of being alone.

But at that party, the one by the water at Amelia's B&B...

Everything was taken away from me.

Dread



The muted gray vessel silently skimmed across the water towards my Victorian's dock. Onlookers had an overwhelming sense of dread.

Can you imagine, they all still show up at the parties I host?  Go figure

Crumbling the Wall of Fear









As with this stacked pile of rocks, one tiny change can shift all the others. 

Cassandra took a chance and left her comfort zone in spite of her fears.

Good choice...she's sitting pretty right about now!

The Ghost's Library

When I first moved into my Victorian mansion, the roof leaked, the basement flooded, and the wind howled through the spaces around the windows.

In the midst of that, there was a treasure left behind by the estate...the ghost's library!

I read his books every night, classics that spanned decades of time.  My favorite authors included:

Robert Collier (Publications)
Napoleon Hill
Charles F. Haanel
Florence Scovel Shinn, and so many others

Tweak As We Go



Snippets from this scene were in someone else's mind's eye, but whose dream is it?  How can this even happen in the tangled hollow?

We all need a dream and maybe we have to play it out a bit in our head beforehand.  I've learned to tweak mine as I go.

Sorry to sound trite by saying be careful what you wish for.

Now, that could be another post.



Being in School

Someone commented she/he would go to a School for Dreams.  One does not have to look very far to find such a thing. 

Life is the school, thoughts are the dreams.  When you learn to guard all your thoughts to be in alignment with your dreams, life changes. 

Yet, in real life, such a school does exist and was the inspiration for the book.
