Home Decor Item of the Day 

A hot new decorating trend: Birdcages!
Paint this a bright color and put something cool inside it like
a chandelier, candelabra, flowers or a pretty plant.
Hang it from the ceiling, put it on a pedestal, bedazzle it, drape it in pearls,
wrap a bow around it, get creative and make it your own!

Daily Moment of Bliss

My laptop was getting overrun with too many files and it was causing problems but instead of having to back everything up, my friends at The Computer Hub swapped my laptop harddrive with a new one and put my old one inside this handy little external harddrive case. Now I have the best of both worlds, fast fresh new harddrive and access to all my files without any extra work. Not having to go through all my files and figure out what to move or delete was a serious moment of bliss for me. :)

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

Image
I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
