Subject: A Personal Update + Newsie...

DEAR CREATOR...


Please read the top section of our gardening "newsie" below for the personal update.


Beyond that, you may wish to scan the newsie, should you be interested in gardening, nature or the daily creativity that's occupying my time 7/12 as I rebuild that which I let slide by the wayside while we were building iCD.


I've written on that before and shall again, later... for now, this bit is short, for reasons you will read shortly.


Also, I will plan on taking the week off... a good time for self care, so you may not hear from me until next Sunday. However, I do hope you stay healthy, optimistic and keep creating positivity, beauty and light in all that you do.



For THAT is where it's at❣️🙏🏼🤗


I'm thinking of you in the Light of Love, Gratitude and Creativity.


Transformation through creation.

☀️🌙 ⭐️

The day is the way.

PERSONAL UPDATE

Plus, two out of three of us (so far) got Covid this past week. 🥴 Coleman's, soon-to-be 69 y/o self, had a very mild version with low to medium fever lasting just 24 hours. Now it's like getting over a mild cold.


Our 25 y/o son, Nikolai's, symptoms began last night and he tends to run through things hard but fast, so that's probably how this will go for him too, based on his night and morning thus far.


And I've been a hold-out so far.


NOTE, Since that above was written, I felt it enter my body and work on setting up residence. Main symptom thus far, a sensation in the throat kind of like inhaling smoke, plus sensitive skin and a hint of aches.


Coleman and Nikolai were on a business trip to Dallas last weekend, (Thurs-Mon.), so many there were somewheres along the way for getting it.


Coleman had one vaccination and one booster. Nikolai and LeAura, none. Hoping that you and yours are well. One thing good about having it, is to be able to check that impending possibility off the list and with renewed resistance to it in future.



IMMUNITY BOOSTING HERBS

See best herbs for immunity. This article includes the combination we just learned about and are taking now.


BUT... HOW'S YOUR GARDEN GROWING...?

Have you noticed that everything everywhere seems to be growing more than usual? It sure seems that way where we are.


Perhaps it has something to do with planetary influences. We heard solar stats along the lines of close to 1,000 Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are expected this year, based on sunspot activity and what's happening daily. For perspective, reportedly, there were only ~26 in 2018 and nearly 100 in 2020, but these do come in cycles like that. So these "changes in the weather" are all a part of cycles even beyond Earth! 🤓
