Chick - a - Boom, Chick - a – Boom

Merry Meet,

How be you this very cold day??? I got everything ready for winter in just the nick of time- even found my only pair of pants…I pray ye got your life flipped in time also…I am so glad you had time to visit…yes, my fridge is empty- though Thursday was a disaster, I ran out and bought new on Friday and it was so good there is none left…

Massage has become a private thing for me…I will only see you if you are a current client, referral from a current client or direct contact with me…with so much going at the current moment, I feel this is best for my clients…just before the holiday I had a client come in from Okeechobee and another from Tallahassee…I am thankful and grateful for such amazing clients

School is going well…business management is not an easy class…I really enjoy the discussions…my school work peaks my curiosity and then I am on the fast track to research central…lol…I am thankful to be in school

American Boudica has been swamped…I am in the throes of book 3 and I am having such a good time with it…we are getting ready to tape the TV show…at times it seems like there is no time left in the day and 20 more things left to do…poor Chris…I am thankful he puts up with my hyper self:)

The Explorer’s Academy has been put on hold…with holidays upon us and so much else going on we have chosen to revisit this in March when time loosens

Nature’s Energy…this has me giddy like a school girl…we are awaiting the design pattern…it is my hope to start the incorporation paperwork this week…I spoke with Dave my ET on the project and he is currently looking for parts to make a mock up out of…how cool is that…we should have answers soon

 

In the Circle of Boudica we prepare for the Feast of Yule…green, white and red candles…songs of cheer and merriment…if you have extra food or maybe an extra present, I have an angel tree up the street that could use the help…

 

 

The Sunshine Paddle 2014 is starting to come together…Debby and I have been reworking the plan…this one makes way more sense…The Sun Ray Paddle 2013 entrance forms are now on site…Thank you Greg and Chris for pitching in…

The weather here has grown cold, thankfully I got to all my flowerbeds last week…it amazes me that Dad’s flowers are still blooming…he really has a green thumb or should I say hook

1 Fuji Apple

2 C Apple Cider

½ t each Allspice, Nutmeg

I am glad to see all is going well with you…during this holiday it is very hard for everyone…if you can help someone and not expect it returned, you get this holiday…please share kindness and love- that would be the best gift you could give me this year

Blessed Be,

Dreams Worth Workin For

 Merry Meet,

My friend it is good to see you…recently there has been much to think on…it is my intention, to move myself forward…it is amazing to see it happening…just not how I expected

Massage is still going well…I am going to remain sole proprietor in private practice…this way I can attend to my current clients without becoming overwhelmed, this allows me to take on new clients only at my discretion…though medicine is my passion…at the moment, it is not the only thing in my life…

American Boudica Publishing and Media has been busy as Chris and I wrap up Book 3…Taylor and I will beta test our app next week…we hope to get the ringtone recorded in the next few weeks- this will be so cool…We will also be filming for our first TV show this week- so much planning…I am blessed with such a great crew

School has brought much to my line of vision…this business management class goes into detail…I like how the text uses real world examples…thoughts that happen in discussion seem to come from several directions at once (in a good way) and has really opened my eyes…

I am currently looking for a class venue for The Explorers Academy…I have a few teachers lined up…it is exciting to see interest from all over the world…I will keep you posted as more information becomes available

Natures Energy is now awaiting the design patent on project 1…how cool will that be…my first patent…project 2 needs more detail in the drawing before I put it up for design patent…I will soon be incorporating this company...it is my first attempt at an energy company, but I am confident 

Okay…not really sure how to express this…I am so thankful…so many taking time to help me put all of it together…I know that I hit the ground running, but it takes a village…really neat to have come this far and to continue moving forward...thank you all for believing in my dreams with me

In the Circle this week we send forth hope of healing…I will ask you to burn a white candle and pray for hope…many have lost hope, this is not the time for that…one must ask in prayer to heal our hearts and restore hope…opportunities are not far and we must have faith

Sunshine Paddle is starting to get booked…we will place the chart on site soon…Chris and Taylor have been working to help me format an entrance form for the Sunray Paddle…went up to Weeki Wachee to practice…the 5 mile trip is full of wild life and interesting people

 

The garden beds have been happy to have all the extra attention that winter brings…weeding and turning in compost…with all the warmer than usual weather it has afforded us a longer growing season…Dad’s flowers are still blooming

The animals have gotten their winter dip…I find fresh veggies help keep their coat soft and shiny…though each one likes different things, no one will eat it unless I have a bite first…lol…the kids used to be the same way…Draco is so old that his hair is starting to fall out (mostly on his butt)- we call it the Trump comb over and it looks about as real…

So as you can see it has been a little hectic…oh yes, I did not forget

 

 

 

 

 

Ginger Root Tea

Ginger root  

Water

Cut 2-4 thin slices of ginger from the root (depending on the size of the cup and your taste preference) and place inside a cup.

 Pour boiling water into the cup. Allow your ginger tea too steep for a couple of minutes to a drinkable temperature. Enjoy this as it aids in digestion:)

Blessed Be,

Today Has Blessings, Tomorrow Has Promise

Merry Meet My Old Friend,

How say you? It is happy I am to be seeing your smile…it has been a strange autumn and I feel quite blessed that our area has been spared the devastation that many have gone through…

Massage has been hanging in…I find with money so tight, many forgo regular treatment and mainly come in under urgent care…in some ways, I love this as it allows me to focus on pathology and really work out treatment protocols…it amazes people who come in with back pain when I grab their leg/ arm/ neck, push on a few spots and the back pain is gone…I am not omnipotent, I just get a lot of practice…

In school, I am currently in Business Management…it is going well…very thought provoking…since this class is done on an open discussion format, I get almost as much from the other students as I do the teacher…

American Boudica Publishing has been busy…Chris has done quite a bit of wonderful artwork for our facebook page…he and I are working diligently on writing book 3…I am so excited- I can hardly wait to share it

The Explorer’s Academy will soon be my classroom…I have been asked by several people about classes on different subjects…I will keep you posted

Nature’s Electric is now being formed and formatted…this is a company that has green forms of energy that will soon hit the market…ways to make or conserve electric without the use of fossil fuel…

In the Circle, it was a lovely Samhain…many of the family and friends came by…many pics of fires held around the world was such a blessing…so much awesome food found its way to my table…on this same night, many were in the middle of a horrid storm…for these we will chant/pray…as a person who has been through many horrid storms, my heart goes out…

Dad has been working wonders around the yard…he has been doing one section each day…though he complains about it, I feel he really he enjoys it and God knows it makes happy yard plants:)..I have started putting my plants through winter prep…clean them, crop them and winter compost mix…since I went on the paddle and ignored a lot of it, there is a lot of work to do

The Sunshine Paddle 2014 is in prep mode…we will be asking people to step up and sponsor a day…I am also putting together the Sun Ray Paddle 2013…Chris has been helping with artwork…sweet…Chris and Greg are helping me put together entrance forms…Catherine Cooper will be the treasurer for this event…I will post more info on the paddle website as it becomes available…I was happy to get so many pics of girly pirates…it was humbling

 

Did you know that lemons help with fleas??? Boil 4 lemons for 5 minutes in 3 cups water…put to one side and cool…strain into spray bottle…spray bedding, carpet or rubbed into dogs coat to aid in keeping fleas at bay...

Fill a jar with (organic) citrus peels and pour undiluted white vinegar over them. Leave for a few days (up to 2 weeks) and strain out the vinegar to use as a natural cleaner. It works as a window cleaner (dilute with water), for mopping floors or for disinfecting surfaces.

Yes, I have been busy…it was good to see you at the fire…I was happy to hear that you are moving forward in your life…it is an inspiration and helps me to push forward…it only takes one snowflake to start a mighty blizzard

Blessed Be,

D. Cooper- Rooney, LMT, BS
