Weeks like this…


Hello,

Glad you made time to stop by…I have been so busy…it will be sometime before again there will be time to sit and enjoy life…there is just way too much to do, but it seems I am holding up…
Massage has me strained at the moment…I am speaking with an attorney as in the great state of Florida I have a right to work…I will start by submitting a paper to the governor, the chief of the dept. of health and the CDC…while I do this I will make ready for a possible court battle…I practice medical massage and a new law states there is no such thing- this was done so car insurance would no longer have to pay for it…I love helping people…as a healthcare worker it is what I am trained for…my clients mean the world to me…if you wonder why there are fewer and fewer healthcare people around, let me explain…between the cost of continuing education, licensure and laws that prevent us from getting paid- it makes it really tough to go to work…

School has been difficult…not the subject, but the professor…I was raised to show teachers respect…this does not give carte blanche to bully me…in the end I had to file a formal complaint…I am quite upset about the whole thing

American Boudica has been busy…after much ado, the Animal Planet Submission was put into discovery and now we wait…the paddle would be a cool show…we are still working on book 3…the ringtone is waiting for Taylor to recover from the flu so it can be mixed…

In Nature’s Power and Energy we put together a business plan…I also had a meeting on federal grants at the Small Business Development Center…the mini worked well, now to make a full scale version…this means a lot of pounding pavement for money- I even applied to be on shark tank…
 



 


In the circle, I find myself questioning many things…one the children will soon die…as they stick more tubes in him- I wonder if death would not be his release from pain…he is a sweet child and I love him…I will pray for what is best…I hope many of my questions will be answered by or in the Imbolc Bon fire…
 
 
I am back to the workout schedule for The Sunshine Paddle…the Weeki Wachee has been a good place to do that…the Manatee have been plentiful…I have seen more than I know that are normally on the coast- almost like they have family visiting…it was nice to be invited back to Atonement Church…I went out on US19 and spoke to many small businesses about the upcoming Sun Pay Paddle too and how they could help…I am really kind of excited…I also stopped to speak to some people at the Pasco Hernando Hispanic Chamber of Commerce…this went really well and I got to meet many new people…it is wonderful to see how the people pull together to help out

I feel it will be a few months before I have time to chat…you can stop by, but please call first to make sure I am here…if you have old cell phones or stuff for the shelter- you can drop it with me and I will take it up there…if you have any cans of food you want me to take to the food bank, I will be going by there the end of the week- again you can drop it with me and I will take it

 

Many Blessings,

D

New Year Holds Great Expectations


 

Merry Meet,

I am happy to see you my child…the New Year is bristling with new business and relationships…I am quite excited

I have been looking at buildings to use for massage…I would like an office outside of the house and am choosing to put a outbuilding on my property rather than paying someone else rent…this will be a tremendous venture, as I will make all of the designs and choices on this project…it will even have its own bathroom…I also will add hydrotherapy and make it wheelchair accessible…lots of planning and work…I will also need to take CEUs soon (continuing education credits)- will keep you posted…

American Boudica Publishing will not be back from Holiday until Jan 14…many new things going on…book 3 and 4 will be out soon…the TV show on Animal Planet will (we hope) air by spring…the ringtone has been recorded and is now being mixed in the studio- Chris’s granddaughters are amazing singers…Taylor had some friends record the music for us…I am blessed with such creative people around me…a busy New Year is off and running

School starts back Jan 7…it has been a nice break…I have an accounting class and a business management class…YEA…though these are not my favorite subjects, it is a chance to make me a better business person and that is always a good thing…Everglades University is an amazing place to learn

The Explorer’s Academy will reopen on March 1…I have had several people who are wanting to have many of their children attend…we will keep you posted
 
  Nature’s Power and Energy, LLC has been busy through the holiday…I have an appointment to meet with the grant committee on the 8th…writing the business plan was not easy…business cards should always be chosen carefully...mine should be here in just the nick of time…the prototype has gone through 4 incarnations…I am so impressed…it is very hard work
 

The Circle of Boudica has been a wonderful thing…we helped 9 families in 3 countries provide Santa for children- this is toys for the children and feast for the family…I am very proud that my congregation is so wonderful…I spent a week before Yule cleaning- all old energy was gotten rid of…on Yule we had a fabulous feast of ham, scalloped potatoes and corn with all the fixens…that night the bon fire burned bright…as I danced- I could feel the fresh new energy…too cool
 
Sunshine Paddle is on holiday until Jan 15…The Animal Planet show is based on what it takes to put the Sunshine Paddle together and all the Animals we interact with…The Sun Ray Paddle is currently being worked on…on the 6th I will be speaking at the Atonement Church after Sunday service,  the 10th of Jan…I will be on US19 from Holiday to Hudson talking to businesses about being in our ‘goodie bag’ for all entrants…I will be paddling the route to obtain pics and video…I should have these up in the next few weeks:) depending on weather…
 
All in all a good New Year has begun…it was good that you came to enjoy the fireworks…they were quite beautiful…saw many people having fun…a lot of old fashioned fun (horses, dirt bikes and swing sets) seemed to be in Santa’s sleigh and it was a joy to see them around the neighborhood…

Life is good!

Blessed Be,

D
