Small things with great Love
I have been so blessed in recent years, and so grateful for the place and the peace that I have found.
It is no small thing to recognize where you are at in the great scheme of things. To learn life’s lessons are not always about win or lose, due or die. To learn that you do what you can from where you are, right now.
It has been a miracle to me, to see what the difference is and what the difference makes. To use my perceptions to focus on manifesting the good and the changes I want to see in this world. To learn to love with out attachments, to except that I am living my life for me, and if I give it my best, then it is THE BEST!
The Labyrinth of life shop has brought me such a sense of connectedness. I have even taken to trying to sell other pieces of my art locally to raise money for charities, if my bills are met, and food is on the table, I am profoundly better off than others! Even on days when this is no small feat, I still have the love of friends and family which sustains me.
I received an email from a good friend I have known for over 20 years asking for a donation to a dear and meaningful charity in her life. Her mother has been an active participant since it’s inception, and recently they have had a run of needs.
COAR ( which you can visit their site by clicking on the name) has been helping kids since the 1980’s, and recent bad weather has destroyed some roofs and buildings.
So I have added more items to my shop and at the end of June I will be sending a check to them to help with the restoration. If you have the funds please consider helping, if you don’t, please consider emailing information to folks who might be able to help. We have the tool of communication at our finger tips, if we can use it to make a difference in one child’s life, shouldn’t we at least try?
Thank you so much..
We can do no GREAT things only small things with Great LOVE.

The Butterfly Effect:
The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the ocurrence of a tornado in a certain location. The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale alterations of events. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Of course the butterfly cannot literally cause a tornado (this however seems to be a common misinterpretation of the butterfly effect by laypersons). The kinetic energy in a tornado is enormously larger than the energy in the turbulence of a butterfly. The kinetic energy of a tornado is ultimately provided by the sun and the butterfly can only influence certain details of weather events in an uncontrollable, chaotic manner, but e.g. not the general ability of the atmosphere to form tornadoes.
