Animal Rescue

Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple... Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box 'fund food for animals' for free. This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Happy Halloween!

I thought I'd share a bit of the history of this fun holiday with you this month. Did you know that Halloween originated in Europe? And that it was created by the Pagans and the Celts? Did you know that the Pagans worshipped Earth and Sky similar to the Native Americans? (Nope theyre not witches and devil worshipers). Did you know that Halloween was originally a family or adult celebration in honor of the harvest? The folks that inhabited a good part of the United Kingdom, Ireland and parts of northwest France (as they are today) developed this holiday probably close to 2,000 years ago as a festival called Samhain, which is pronounced sow' ehn, and means "summer's end." This big party was to thank mother earth for the harvest, to signify the end of summer, the start of the dark months - the winter season - and was originally celebrated on November 1. In the 800s, the Christian church created a new holiday to compete with the already popular Samhain called All Saints Day or All Hallows. Did you know that Hallow means Saint (or one who is holy)? This "new" Christian holiday had the Pagans pushing back their holiday to October 31, and it became known as All Hallows Evening or Hallow e'en. So, while Halloween is actually a summers end celebration and All Saints day honors the dead, it is Halloween that has gotten the spooky rap! This year on 10/31, I will honor mother nature and my garden (or harvest) by bringing in some seeds and saving them for next years garden. How will you celebrate Samhain this year? Blessings in your start to fall - I look forward to seeing you at some of the many events happening the last quarter of this year!

TIME SHARE RENTAL AVAILABLE IN WILLIAMSBURG, VA – NOVEMBER 9 – 16, 2007

Vikki owns a beautiful time share just 10 minutes outside of Historic Williamsburg, VA. It is two separate apartments (one above the other, but separate entrances). Each sleeps 6. The unit downstairs has a Jacuzzi. Each unit has a master bedroom with attached bathroom, bedroom with twin beds, a kitchen, dining area and large living room with fold out couch/double bed. Another bathroom is in the hallway. Linens are included as well as toaster, pots, pans, utensils, dishes, etc. There is no additional clean up fee. All you do is pull off the sheets and leave them by the door in a plastic bag for housekeeping and you can just get in your car and leave. This is a fabulous opportunity to see Historic Williamsburg in the off season when the tour buses are not full of tourists and you can walk around the historic property at a leisurely pace. Last year Vikki and her guests saw every building, theatrical recreations, church concerts, and tours in just three days and then took the rest of the time to visit plantations, Historic Jamestown and local attractions.

If you would like more information about renting one or both time shares, please call Vikki at 973-492-3110 or email her at: Starscape50@aol.com. The cost is $400 per apartment to cover yearly maintenance costs. It’s a secluded, large development (but just outside of town) with pool, tennis, local attractions, purchase tickets on the property at a discount, restaurants on the premises and just a peaceful and contemplative environment. More information? Just ask: 973-492-3110. Celebrate the 400th anniversary celebration at Jamestown! Queen Elizabeth was there this past summer.

The new dollar coins will be coming out shortly. I was informed by many students, clients and friends, that the words IN GOD WE TRUST have been removed from this coin. Most people who believe in God, Goddess, Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels or any spiritual existence at all, will be boycotting this coin. Ask for paper money when getting change. Hopefully, this will put this coin out of circulation quickly. How do you feel about it?
