You and I by John Davidson



"This Dream of Love Came True 
for You and Me" 
You walked away from me toward the church but it was to pick this flower! You walked back to my car with a big smile on your face! :) 
Thank you for the daisy and for kissing me...again!
 Was it just a dream of love or was it a sign that we were meant to be together in this life and in another...forever?

Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream ('68 Comeback Special 50th Anniversary HD...



A day late, but I will always remember the day the world lost Elvis. I wrote song lyrics soon after and collaborated with a company in Nashville and had a record made. Read the lyrics under the category: "Song Lyrics" to "Good-Bye Elvis" and see the 45 rpm on my website: iamalionunderthesun.com

Smile - Be Happy - Live Your Truth

Writers are writing, teachers are teaching, and preachers are preaching, so why isn't it translating?
Everyone is writing books and teaching through workshops and preaching what they believe and so people are following what and who attracts them and their beliefs, then a tribe is created. So all the good that is written and all the inspiration that is taught and all the stuff about God is preached, but it's staying with those who are cut from the same cloth. What good does it do for the well being of all? People congregate with those like themselves. They won't attract those who have different or even evil thinking and live a negative way of life. They, too, have a tribe and that's why society has problems and why we are a divided people.
 I have difficulty finding my tribe. I haven't found a society I want to step out into. I must belong to a tribe known as the "hidden ones" because we all stay alone and so we don't find one another because we don't have our special place to go where we gather with our same desires and beliefs. I think this is where communities develop as they are only like each other. I belong in a society of vegans, animal lovers, nature lovers, and work at growing food and caring for the environment. I also belong to a tribe where everyone is creative and contribute to and compliment each other's artistic abilities. Does such a society exist? The problem with people is that everyone is different and we're living intertwined with all of our differences and we are attracted to those people who we have the same things in common with. Groups and communities and places of worship are grown and then we are separate. 

It used to be,"opposites attract," but for a while now it has been, "like attracts like." It gets real tricky when you live with someone and one person changes and the other doesn't and the one who changed wants to live differently and go in a different direction. You stay and make the best of it or leave and pay the consequences. "Life is difficult" - the first sentence in the book, 
"The Road Less Traveled."
Smile - Be Happy - Live your Truth
(What else can we do?)

The Best Birthday (Week) Ever!!!

Today is "my day" and it isn't over, still have to open gifts from my husband and have Chinese take-out for supper, but the week starting with Sunday July 29th has been amazing each and every day as I received 5 Cameo videos with birthday songs and wishes from wonderful people that you can watch in a post below. 

These flowers are from my oldest friend, Norma, since 3rd grade who lives in NY. She is my other half of the duo known as "The Gold Dust Twins" nicknamed by our high school math teacher, Mr. Bedard! :) I love her and am so fortunate she is still in my life! 
Even the balloon is happy! :)
Now for what's yet to come...cake and presents! Oh, yes, and scratch tickets!
From the best dairy farm and bakery in New England - Wright's Farm!
It is a yellow cake, custard filling, butter cream frosting, and I chose the pretty pink and blue frosted roses. :)
Thank you to all my friends on Facebook, too, for their birthday wishes, and to my friends Mary and Jack who live out west, and to Constantine, John Davidson, Carson Kressley, Ben from The Bachelor, and especially Jonathan Mangum from Let's Make a Deal for showing me the set during a taping of the show! You all made my birthday the most special ever! Love you all!!! XOXO
