TODAY'S PHOTO
-
white and purple-tinged alstromeria.
Since I spoke of the alstromeria yesterday, it seems fitting
to share a photo of the current ones that are gracing our living
room table and my desk. The 8 flowers that you see are all on
one stem.
One of the challenges I'm reminded of today is that the dark,
I assume, pollen at the end of the stamen do "shed"
after a while, leaving a fine powder. If the flowers are all
upright this mostly falls within and on the flower petals, otherwise
there is a dusting on the surface upon which they rest. For
this reason a friend of mine stopped buying them, switching
to other flowers.
For me, this is a "small price", I feel, for the pleasure
I get from them. The alstromeria are graceful, delicate
and, as I stated yesterday, long-lasting.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Are there places in your life where you are simply "tolerating"
things or situations that might be upsetting and distracting?
Or, are you "accepting" and "acknowledging"
them, seeing them, or what's associated with them, for the contributions
that they are to you and your life?
If it's "toleration", is there some way you can
shift that or might it make more sense to eliminate rather than
tolerate?
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Check out the new 28
second message from Sondra, who shares how a custom photo/drawing
of her father, done by Sheila, provided a major breakthrough
for her in being able to get past her many years of grief at
his loss, so that she can now enjoy photos of him.

Tramayne-Barth wrote to say, "When I wanted to make
an audio for Sheila, she made it really easy for me. She called
me and set up a 3 way call so I could record how wonderful I
think her ezine is and her artwork. I am sure she will do the
same for you. And she didn't even mind the blooper I made about
her art site name. (LOL)."
Check out Judith's and other Audio Testimonials on the new AUDIO
LINKS page.
I'd love to have your voice there also. A sentence or two is
more than enough, if you are person of a few words.
I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder and on

call and 3-way you in on the line, while I stay silent.
