Holiday Waves

Good Day to you,

How are you…I am exhausted- I am trying to wrap everything up before the holiday…so much going on…please do not worry, there is no problem with my heart…I had an abscess in my jaw, this really messed with my teeth causing one to crumble…the poison it released into my system caused the heart attack…between the pain from my mouth and my getting pissed off at the nurse, I do not remember feeling the heart go off…though they wanted me to go to the hospital, we know that I really don’t do hospitals unless I have no choice…

Nature’s Power and Energy is excited to be cresting phase 3 after the first year…the first of the year will spent building a mini machine…this will be used by people who live on the river for personal use- a salable product…as we begin to build the full size unit, we will prepare for our final test…still no word from the NSF on our grant…we look forward to working with swiftmud

At American Boudica Publishing we closed for the holiday on the 15^th to allow our employees time with their families…the New Year has us excited for the children’s series we are soon to release…our next in the American Boudica series will be out in June…we will also soon be posting new academic papers…so much to look forward to…we are blessed

Girly Pirate Designs is going well…The Girly Pirate Boutique- carries our full product line (clothes, tiles, stamps, etc.)…Girly Pirate Graphics is mostly products and Graphics…because they are online stores they will be open throughout the holiday season…The place where the most AMAZING Pirates shop…lol…knew I could make you smile

Global Economics has been an awesome class…I have learned so much and it was really cool to have a teacher who made sense…I will order books for next year’s class on Monday…I know, after all I have been through during this class one would think I would fall behind…my education is important to me…I would not let myself down like that…if a PhD was easy everyone would have one…

At the Sunshine Paddle our Holiday Challenge was really successful…it was hard as we wish we could have do more but, we gave out over $1000 in toys, food and goods among 3 families, Sunrise of Pasco and the food bank…I am so impressed at how many people stepped up to the plate to help me…Thank You so much for all you have done, it means the world to me…

Will you join me for the bon fire on the morrow to celebrate the solstice…I am so thrilled to be wrapped up and ready to face the new year…the weather should be clear and bright- I promise to get pics and video if the camera is not giving me a fit:)

I have two weeks to rest and enjoy friends and family…come and join me if you have time…taxes will soon be upon us, lets enjoy the vacation while we can…may you have a blessed holiday and the sun shone upon you until we meet again.

 

Blessed Be,

Dorraine

Merry Meet,

          Sorry I have not been available…yes, it was very frightening seeing a car crash the fence and head straight for me…to see it veer off at the last second, brought life into real focus…after that, getting quotes and cleaning up along with trying to keep up with my regular life left me slightly behind…so grab a water and sit, we can play Southern Rummy while we talk…so much has been happening, it is hard to know where to start

          School is going great…my study buddies are awesome…currently I find myself in global economics- I must admit I was afraid of this subject…Dr. Tucker is awesome and makes the subject come alive…the more I read the more it blows my mind that we let elected people handle this…indirectly, it has given me more reason to question everything I see in the media…heading for winter break on the 20^th, how cool is that…

          American Boudica Publishing will be on hiatus from 12/15/2014 until 1/2/2015…we have started on a new series for children, it is so neat…I will be able to reveal more after the first of the year…Our own Mr. Bilton has been about town reading stories to children…shortly after the first of the year we will also be releasing 2 more academic papers…what a great way to end and start the years, blessings are abundant:)

          Nature’s Power and Energy is making forward progress…phase 2 has been shut down…I thought we had a good location for phase 3...I currently adjusting my sails on this issue…I have met with the engineer, on Tuesday I will get with the fabricators and they thought they were ready to kill me last time…lol…we will be on winter holiday from 12/20/2014 until 1/2/2015…we want our current and future employees to have a wonderful holiday and get time with their families…

          Girly Pirate Designs now has 2 online shops…from T-shirts to tiles to skateboards…it is cool when a business finds focus…I really am enjoying putting this one together…we will be doing video production shortly, but this was an opportunity we really could not pass up…Many of our graphics have been collected and we feel this is a good way to express them…we do carry men’s, pet’s and children’s clothes also…

          The Sunshine Paddle has been completing a very successful holiday challenge…our first toy drop was last Friday, it is such a blessing so many are reaching out to help…we have 3 more drops to complete with the last happening on the 18^th….the I will relax around Honeymoon Island or maybe Hudson, it will depend who I can find to paddle with me…

          In the Circle we will be having a Bonfire on the 21^st if you would like to come join us…I will start cooking on the 20^th so, there will be plenty to eat…it will be such fun…I am so excited...what a great time will be had...

          I will use my time off to celebrate family and contemplate where I want my life to go and how I think I may get there…I give presents all year round so, what makes this special to me is the time I get with my family and friends…it is they who make me smile…I am blessed

Blessed Be,

Dorraine
