The Big Wheel
In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared.
Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.
Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either.
If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it. I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job.
The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. No luck.
The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince whomever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I had to have a job.
Still no luck. The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel.
An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids. She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. She paid 65 cents an hour, and I could start that night. I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night. She could arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep. This seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.
That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers, we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel.
When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money--fully half of what I averaged every night. As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage.
The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again every morning before I could go home.
One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires. Had angels taken up residence in Indiana ? I wondered.
I made a deal with the local service station. In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up his office. I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to do the tires.
I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough. Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids.
I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boys pants and soon they would be too far gone to repair.
On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel. These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe.
A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine. The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up.
When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning, to my amazement, my old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes. I quickly opened the driver's side door, crawled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat.
Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. Inside was whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes. There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes. There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was a whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items. And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll.
As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning.
Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop....

Goddess of The Day: Bellona
Goddess of The Day: Bellona
Tubilustrium (
Themes: Protection; Victory; Communication; Strength
Symbols: Swords or (Athame); Spear
About Bellona: She who kindles the fire of the sun and the fire in the bellies of warriors, Bellona is both a mother and a battle goddess, being the female equivalent of Mars with a distinct diplomatic twist. Those who call upon Bellona receive strategy, tactfulness, and a keen sense of how to handle explosive situations effectively.
To Do Today: Romans spent today ritually cleansing their trumpets for battle and honoring the people who make the trumpets. In this part of the world, a horn not only signaled a charge but invoked the goddess's attention. So, for what personal battle(s) do you need to sound Bellona's horn today? Find a horn with which to do just that (perhaps a kazoo or a piece of construction paper rolled to look like a megaphone). Shout your battle plans to Bellona so she can respond with all her resources to help you.
If you use a sword, athame (sacred knife), or wand in magic, today is an excellent time to take out that tool and invoke Bellona's blessing upon it. Oil and sharpen the blade, polish the wand, then hold it in your hand as if it were a weapon, saying,
Bellona, see this implement of magic, which, as any,
has two edges--for boon and bane. May only goodness
flow through this tool, and may I ever remain
aware of the responsibility for its use. So be it.

One Flaw In Women
One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have the compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

How to Hug a Baby
For my Daddy....
Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.
Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they began heading to their gate, everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.
Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.
Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.' The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.
The mother of the little girl, who said her daughter's name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it. After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy, and he told me to give this to you¢. He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying 'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon.'
The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event. As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier, in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.
We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.
RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.
Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red. By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers. If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more than the media lets on.
The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.
Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.

Darth Vader's Psyche: What Went Wrong?
Darth Vader's Psyche: What Went Wrong?
Anakin Skywalker, the Star Wars character who became Darth Vader, had borderline personality disorder, psychiatrists report.
The news comes not from a galaxy far, far away, but from San Diego, where the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is holding its 160th annual meeting.
Experts from the psychiatric department at France's University Hospital of Toulouse told the APA's annual meeting that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader could "clearly" be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
Borderline personality disorder is a serious mental illness marked by instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior, according to background information on the Web site of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
The French psychiatrists — who included Laurent Schmitt, M.D. — based their diagnosis on original Star Wars film scripts.
Schmitt's team describes Skywalker's symptoms, including problems with controlling anger and impulsivity, temporary stress-related paranoia, "frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment (when trying to save his wife at all costs), and a pattern of unstable and intense personal relationships," including his relationships with his Jedi masters.
Changing his name and turning into "Darth Vader" is a red flag of Skywalker's disturbed identity, note Schmitt and colleagues.
The researchers aren't suggesting that real people with borderline personality disorder are Darth Vaders-in-the-making. Skywalker's symptoms are an extreme, fictional case.
Borderline personality disorder can be treated through psychotherapy and with medication. But that wasn't part of Skywalker's script.

The time when humankind decided to move from silent knowledge to reason was the same time it moved from hunting and gathering to agriculture. Agriculture was not undertaken because big game had died off, or any such reason, but rather because humanity wanted to experiment with thinking, social organization, etc. The human and grain gods made a deal at that point to help each other out. A similar deal was struck with e.g. the bovine god. Cows, in return for the loss of a certain measure of freedom (reduction to the status of property, having their children taken away from them, etc.), received in return freedom from random predators and the condition of something to be protected and defended by some pretty intense little monkey-like creatures.
Similarly, the way back to silent knowledge is through hunting. However it is possible to apply much silent knowledge to the practice of agriculture – hence these lessons. What follows are some samples of notes I’ve channeled regarding agriculture.
Q: How should I control insects and diseases in my garden?
A: Put three pieces of copal (or any acrid incense, such as patchouli) in your censer, and waft the smoke towards each infected plant as you walk down the row. At the same time, ask the afflicting agent to please leave your plants alone because you need them. You should feel as though the incense smoke is carrying your thought towards the plants. It’s a good idea to leave a plant or two (maybe the one or ones at the end of each row, so you remember) for the insects or disease. Don’t waft incense at these plants. Tell the insects or disease that these plants are for them. Be nice about it. Be sincere. Mean what you say. Say it out loud.
Frankincense (or any light, happy incense such as sandalwood) is used to prevent disease and insect infestations (where copal is used to cure infected plants). Waft the incense towards each plant in turn, sending that plant the wish that it will grow well and be fruitful. It is best to be naked when you do this (or any gardening), simply because that is the most joyous way of doing it. This means gardening at night, in the moonlight, so the neighbors won’t see you.
Q: Will this method work for anyone?
A: It will work for anyone who believes in it and means what they are telling the animals or plants. Actually, the incense is completely unnecessary. That’s just for you, to help you pay attention to what you’re doing and give you the sense that you’re doing something “magical”. It’s the thoughts and desires that you have and express that are the gist of the matter.
Q: What do I do about gophers?
A: Dig out the gophers’ burrow and put a trap in it, to trap one gopher. It must be a trap which catches the gopher alive and unhurt. Take the captured gopher to a cage in a dark, protected place, and give it food and water every day. Talk to it gently when you bring its food and water. Tell it you won’t hurt it – in fact, you’ll let it go – but it must take a message back to its brothers.
Keep this up (talking gently to the gopher when you feed it) until you have gained its trust. This doesn’t mean friendship or petting it, but rather until it knows it has nothing to fear from you. How long this takes will depend upon you and the gopher. When you sense that it is calm (unthreatened) in your presence, tell it that it and all its brother gophers must leave your garden and orchard. Appoint some other place on your land where you don’t care if there are gophers, and tell the captured gopher that it and its fellows must move to this other place. If you want to sweeten the deal, promise that you’ll plant sweet potatoes or beets at this other place just for them. If you do make a promise like this, you must keep it.
Then, after repeating this message to the captured gopher for some days (until you feel it has “understood”), release the gopher back into its tunnel, bidding it to take this message to its fellows.
This same method will work for cutter ants. Stand over their trail while they are working (it won’t work if they can’t hear you), and ask them to please find food in some other direction, as you need these trees yourself. Be polite. One such treatment should be enough. If it isn’t, repeat the next day, but ask them why they didn’t obey you the first time. Write down their answer as you are writing this (by automatic writing). You may have to work out some sort of compromise or make a deal with them.
Q: What about planting our own bananas?
A: Bananas are your angels. Anything coming from them is love – love – love, from the tenderness of young leaves to happy, humorous browning splotched leaves, to the spongy, thick, soggy stems. And the tall, older leaves. They all fully participate in love. Of all plants, these will give and receive love more than any other. Their blessings come down with a gentle, steady flow of love droplets.
This is why you must always have bananas growing close to wherever you live (preferably fruiting, not ornamental, varieties). If you ever go North at least grow one as a pot plant. There is no greater gift you can give to those in the North than these plants.
Q: What about Biodynamic techniques?
A: Yes. Steiner’s techniques as enunciated in his lectures on agriculture are excellent. He was a genius, and in touch with the spirit keepers of agricultural knowledge (as were also the founders of Findhorn). However, Steiner’s techniques are no more valid than the ones we are channeling to you; they are merely more detailed, more specific, and more complex. A professional farmer would do well following Steiner. And anyone who elects to use Steiner’s methods would do better making the formulations themselves rather than buying them ready-made. The important thing is to put one’s own, personal vibration into the soil and plants. Stirring plain water – joyously – for hours and then spraying it on the soil or plants is better than using store-bought formulations and not stirring long enough, or stirring without a joyous heart. Everything you do in agriculture should be done with joy, or else you are better off not doing it at all. Fortunately agriculture is innately a joyous occupation, so this isn’t hard to do.
Q: Steiner had a lot of wacky techniques for dealing with weeds, insects, and disease; but even Pfeiffer and his other followers admit they don’t work. Why not?
A: Because they doubt they’d work. It is your (and Pfeiffer’s) doubt that keeps these techniques from working. If you had no doubt whatsoever that they’d work, they’d work.
That’s the only reason your rationalist / materialistic world “works” – that when you turn on a TV, it turns on – is because you believe it. If you believed in these techniques with the same certainty that you believe turning a key in an ignition will start a car, then they would work.
Q: How should I graft?
A: As usual. However, fill the censer with frankincense (or sandalwood). Cense the tree from which the scions are to be taken. Tell it that you are sorry to hurt it, but that the twigs you are taking will become new little trees. Ask if this is okay.
Cense the scions with the wish that they take and prosper. Cense the rootstocks and apologize for hurting them, and tell them they will be getting new “heads” which are more productive, and that they will soon be living in the actual earth. If you feel that a particular scion or rootstock objects, then don’t graft that one. It wouldn’t take anyway. Then graft as usual, but as you do each graft talk to the stock and scion and wish them well, that they may join and prosper and be fruitful.
After grafting, run your hand gently up the rootstock and scion, and as you do so visualize in your mind’s eye the graft taking and healing, the tree growing from a sapling to a young tree to a mature tree; and as your hand passes above the top of the scion, look up and see the mature tree full of fruit.
Then bend down and kiss the graft, with the wish that it will take and the tree prosper. Do this with true love and good feeling. And then commend the tree to the earth.

Myth of the Basque Witches
Myth of the Basque Witches
The myth speaks of 12 witches and a warlock that were burned at the stake. There is a full celebration of the original witch-hunt that took place on August 15th, 1610.
"The Witches of Zugarramurdi" has been a well-known myth in all of Northern Spain and
It is celebrated every year since the 1600's on the 15th of August. There is a feast and a full celebration of the original witch-hunt that took place on August 15th, 1610.
The myth speaks of 12 witches and a warlock that were burned at the stake.
It was believed there was a cave that was home to these witches, and they would dance and cast spells upon the people of Zugarramurdi.
It is commonly told as children's story throughout the region, as famous there as the story of "Little Red Riding Hood" is to us.
The modern celebration is called "The Feast of the Caves", in which (in tribute to the stake burning), a Lamb (Zikiro) is quartered, and is set near an open-pit fire, being occasionally turned (as a rotisserie).
It traditionally is placed in front, so as not to drip its fat into the flame, and cause smoke to alter the flavour.
Pagan Movement Steps In To Help Witches
Pagan Movement Steps In To Help Witches
By Bappa Majumdar
Followers of a global pagan witchcraft movement plan to introduce their beliefs in
Witchcraft has been practised by women in rural, isolated communities in
In the past five years, police say they have reports of more than 700 women being killed as witches or witch doctors in eastern
"People from different walks of life and even governments had asked me to institutionalise Wicca, but I was waiting for the right moment," Ipsita Roy Chakraverti, a prominent social activist who practises Wicca, told Reuters.
"Now is the time we stood up against people who persecute and kill innocent women," said Chakraverti, adding that the Indian "Wiccan Brigade" would also register complaints of persecution and coordinate with police to ensure cases were brought to trial.
Around 100 people have already signed up to take a training programme in Wiccan philosophy, literature and psychology and the students will also set up a grievance cell where persecuted women can register their complaints, she said.
Like many Pagan religions, Wicca practises magic and witches believe that the human mind has the power to effect change in ways that are not fully understood by science.
In their rituals, as well as honouring their deities, witches also perform spells for healing and to help people with general life problems.

In remote
"They cannot afford medicines for ailments and often put the blame squarely on innocent women and later kill them," said Chakraverti, who studied the Wiccan faith at a chalet in
Chakraverti has also written two books on Wicca - one of which, The Sacred Evil, was adapted for the big screen earlier in 2006.
Witchcraft across the world is experiencing a renaissance of sorts after centuries of bad press, led by television characters such as Buffy, Sabrina and the ladies from Charmed.
Internet sites have also encouraged pagans - worshipping as Wiccans, Druids, or Shamans - to come out of the broom closet.
Woman Finds $10, Turns It Into A Million
NORTH CANTON, Ohio - Kristina Schneider tried to persuade a customer at the BP station where she works to buy the last ticket on a roll of the Magnificent Millions lottery game.
“I always joke that the last ticket is the winning one, but he said he only had enough money for three tickets,” Schneider said.
This time, her advice was no joke.
The single mother — with nine maxed out credit cards and $8,500 in debt for her associate’s degree — bought what turned out to a $1 million winning ticket with a $10 bill she found in the store Friday.
“I thought someone was playing a trick on me” when she found the sawbuck, she said.
After showing a customer that she did indeed have a winning ticket, she locked the store while she took a moment to be sick in the bathroom.
“I was numb. I still am,” she said.
Schneider, 32, opted to take 20 yearly payments of $50,000, or $34,500 after taxes.
“If I’d have taken a lump sum, I’d be broke again within five years,” she said.

In The News:
By JIM VERTUNO, Associated Press Writer Fri May 18, 7:43 PM ET
AUSTIN, Texas - Texas sex offenders who are twice convicted of raping children under 14 could get the death penalty under a bill state lawmakers approved Friday.
The state House passed Texas' version of "Jessica's Law," a crackdown on sex offenders who prey on children, a day after the Senate approved it.
The bill is named for Jessica Lunsford, a Florida girl who was abducted and killed. More than a dozen states have passed versions of Jessica's Law.
Gov. Rick Perry has said he was open to the idea of the death penalty in child sex cases and that passage of a child sex offender bill is a legislative emergency. Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said the governor will wait to read the final version of the bill before deciding whether to sign it into law.
"The purpose is to make Texas a safer place for children and a more dangerous place for their predators," said Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle, the bill's House sponsor.
Texas would be the sixth state to add the death penalty for some child rape cases, although legal experts debate whether the punishment would be unconstitutional in cases where the victim did not die. Louisiana has an inmate on death row in a child sex crime, but that case is being appealed.
Democratic Rep. Lon Burnam called child sex crimes horrendous but said the state that executes more inmates than any other should not expand its use of the death penalty.
Victim advocates have warned that adding the death penalty would do more harm than good if it leads perpetrators to kill victims to avoid leaving witness.
The bill also creates a new category of crime — continual sexual abuse of a young child or children, carrying a minimum penalty of 25 years to life in prison.
The Article ********
This might sound barbarish, but i think that anyone who likes to prey on children like that deserve to die a slow and horrible death, only to have to face what they've done in the after-life. I can understand the concerns over death sentencing "Doing more Harm than good" However; Whether they kill the witness or not I doubt will depend on the fact that it's a witness.
They were probibly planning on killing them that way. I think a good idea would be to buff up the criminal investigation units, (CSI, Crime Labs, Ect) To make it possible to collect enough evidence to nail these monsters.
Then send them to the chair, or the noose, or the firing squad.
Animal Emergency Preparedness
Dear Journal-
I was watching Animal Planet's Hero's - where they were rescuing animals who were effected by Katrina. I couldn't watch anymore because i'm just too empathic when it comes to Animals. But Anyways, it got me to thinking, that there should be some type of manditory chipping system for all animals who have owners. Something that everyone can afford to get for their pets, in case something happened, be it natural disaster, or whatever else. Then this way, when Animals are rescued, they only need to be scanned and They can be re-united with their owners (providing that they are still on this earth.) The owners, in turn keep their information updated, in some sort of database, that can be updated with other technologies.
The Foundation that I'm currently volenteering at is trying to devise a way to make technology more readily available to those who find themselves in some sort of trouble. A Pack, with the neccisary equipment to get the word out of where they are. Things like solar battery chargers, water filters, and other things. Wireless networks that open immediately once a disaster hits, making internet access to those in need more possible.
What do you think? Am I just spouting off or what? I just wish there was some way I could do more besides sit here and try and think of things to suggest to my supervisors who would suggest it to their supervisors, and so on. What do you think would be good for preparing for a disaster?

Goddess Of The Day: Macha
Goddess Of The Day: Macha
Bonfire Night (Scotland)
Themes: Victory; Success; Protection; Fertility; Fire
Symbols: Red Items; Acorn; Crow
About Macha: Macha means "mighty one". Macha used her potency to clear the land for wheat, giving her associations with fertility. She also used her might to protect the Celts' lands against invaders, thereby becoming a war goddess and guardian. Art shows her dressed in red (a color abhorrent to evil) and with blazing red hair, forever chasing off any malevolence that threatens her children's success.
To Do Today: Taking place around this date, this festival originally had strong pagan overtones, the fires being lit specifically for ritual offerings that pleased the gods and goddesses and invoked their blessing. Additionally, the bright, red fire looked much like Macha's streaming hair, and thus it banished any evil spirits from the earth. So don any red-colored clothing today, or maybe temporarily dye your hair red to commemorate this Goddess and draw her protective energies to your side. Eating red foods (like red peppers) is another alternative for internalizing Macha's victorious power and overcoming any obstacle standing in your way.
Or, find some acorns and keep them in a Macha fetish bag (any natural-fiber drawstring bag). Anytime you want her power to manifest, simply plant the acorn and express your wish to it. Macha's potential is in that acorn, ready to sprout!

Dear SPJ:
Honestly, this is my first post for PayPerPost.com.
I'm not even sure I'm doing this right, however I'm willing to try. I love the idea that it's now possible to get paid for your thoughts and creativity, that can be viewed by anyone over the internet. It's a good way for information to be shared, and things to be learned.
One of my hopes is to figure out this site, and become one of many who through creative ideas, and determination, can be known nation-wide for my contributions in the blogging community. Help me realize this dream of mine, Pay Per Post Com!
Help me Succeed! I Honestly will love you with all my heart! Though I have not made a penny as of yet, someday I hope to invest my newfound hidden wealth into things like mountain dew and snacks for late night blogging sessions!
Oh yes, before I forget, here is the required link. blog reviews
Ah heck, what can I do? I LOVE YOU GUYS! *rock on!*
That's it for this session of My Secret Public Journal... Until next time.
