I was drawn to the photograph of the fallen tree over the misty morning waters....

Morning lays dormant
Quiet
Except for the buzz
Of wildlife
Some settling to their beds
While others take up the post
The air vibrates with unseen energy
The fog masks any movement
In the misty morning.
Undercover,
Life continues on
Even in this fallen tree
Which has given its living life
To now become fodder
For those that work through the decay
Taking life
And returning it to once was...
Soil nutrient rich and plentiful
Where the cycle of life
Continues on
In harmonious balance.

Who I Am - Casting Crowns


I love this group. The words are inspirational. Casting Crowns is a favourite contemporary Christian group. It's pop music with a message... a message I like and feel strongly about. It is a message that is positive and uplifting. We all need a ick me up and a reminder that we are more than alone in this huge world.

Haka Hotel Suites - Auckland City offers style-led affordable luxury in the heart of Auckland's most vibrant central district.

As with all Haka Hotels, the apartments are carefully crafted to maximize your experience of New Zealand’s cities.
Our hotel looks mighty swanky but after that crazy long flight, you ladies and gents might need some r and r for a bit. {and a peaceful day before we meet up with Elle and maybe her daughter Caitlin.for diinner at Boldrums.
We're having dinner at Boldrum's Kitchen, supposed to have a great selection of food choices. Hope your appetite is back. Jet lag is murder. I've been told they have “Coffee Kick Starter , that works for me.

Oh, I have always wanted to go to New Zealand. I'd also love to meet Elle Author IconMail Icon, so I am on board... or rather, on flight. I am also up for that "Coffee Kick Starter" Lyn's a Witchy Woman Author IconMail Icon. I had a good giggle over the choice of restaurant in the New Lynn area of Auckland.... well done!
The hotel is lovely. I am not sure if I want a nap or a swim first... probably a swim. It is summer here.... Oh, now that is fine, fine, fine. Here at home schools are closed today... the second ice storm in less than a week. I could use some sun and temperatures well over 20 degrees C.

Touring Hobitton and Lord of the Rings scenery would be a delight.... any other fans? There is a lot of beauty in this place.

I'd love to check out some local authors. I'd also love to people watch and take some time to write.


Soundtrack of My Life

Beautiful - Mercy Me


A little inspiration and a pick me up. Mercy Me is one of my favourite Contemporary Christian bands. I find I like listening to this type of music because it gives me the upbeatness of pop music, but the words are positive and inspiring. In a world where things can get so dark and negative one needs to be able to see the light the world does actually have... and it comes from the goodness of loving people... regardless of their religious affiliation.
Goodness is light. Goodness is love. And LOVE wins every time.
