Breaking Old Patterns: "Most beautifully said, Tasha... you touched a most
valid core to help us look at our actions and reactions..." Thank you and

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 430 - Breaking Old Patterns: "Hi Tasha, I agree
with your sentiments here. Well actually they are always a nice bite of
wisdom! But I gotta say, I still sometimes think those mischievous gremlins
from the other many dimensions enjoy their prank misplacement of stuff! And
at the very least, when I give in to "them", I lose the anger charge and
then the stuff generally shows up very shortly after." Hope all is well and
wonderful with you & yours. -S.S.- August 30, 2010 12:39 PM

My Mothers Little Bureaus: "You would be good help tomorrow as we sort
through STUFF in our basement which will go OUT OUT OUT. FlyLady
teaches: If you do not use it and you do not love it get it out of your
house and out of your life. She suggests spending just 15 minutes each day
sorting and tossing. I didn't do that, quite. I am hours and hours behind
that schedule! Love your message; adore your HEART, Tasha." Hugs -C.B.-

The Swiftly Passing Days: "Dearest Tasha, I have also noticed the light and
you are right each day is a gift. Some gifts are meant to be opened with
much excitement and joy and fully enjoyed. Other gifts are open with quiet,
peace and contentment. The same gratitude flows from the heart from both." -K.V.-

joining the Grafton Police citizens patrol. That was a nice thing I would
never think of, maybe no longer being in a small town, it seemed so "just
plain nice" in a world that seems crazy sometimes. I wondered what was the
raffle prize? yet I know the joy was in giving out the free tickets. It's
nice to know people like you and Stephen are in the world. " Much love,

The More I struggle the Worse It Becomes: "Funny how life works and you and
I wind up on the same page... Our minister preached this AM about Martha and
Mary...Doing versus being and what Herculean effort it takes to be one or
the other... and is one wrong and the other right? etc. Our minister
suggested we simply listen for guidance and follow it in our own way. That's
a pretty good way to resolve troubling issues, huh?" You are dear to my

add about your column, that we especially like the way you wove scientific

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 -
Finding Out The Hard Way: "Yes, they do kick ! My father made sure I knew
how to shoot a gun. Every weekend we went out target practicing.....in the
back of a cops house no less. You think a hand gun has a kick.....try a
double barrel shot gun !!! I do not recommend both barrels. One should be
enough to knock you on your butt and dislocate your shoulder ! There is how
ever a little hand gun known as the ladies gun. I think it is a Keuger. Very
small, fits in the palm of your hand. Called ladies gun because it is really
easy to shoot with no kick. Surprised your instructor did not let the ladies
use one. -D.D.- June 7, 2010 11:25 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way: "Good Morning and
Blessings on you Tasha for trying! I never imagined myself being involved
with firearms either until I went for a safety course on the handling of
Black Powder and firearms that use it. One of the lady’s who was there
at the course and is experienced, took me under her wing and felt that I
should at least try once to fire this little gun that she hand. It’s a
replica of a Queen Anne flintlock. She showed me how to load and fire it.
We were only going to be firing off blank paper cartridges. No bullets. I
was scared to death! That was a little over a year ago. I was stunned
to find that despite being fearful, the sound and the smoke was a bit of a
thrill. Not unlike being on a roller coaster. Little did I
realize that I was hooked. I ended up taking an official course
offered by the Lawrence Rod and Gun Club on Black Powder Safety and firearms
handling. Several of the crew members of the Black Rose II,
www.blackrose2.com attended as well. It was fun and enlightening in
many ways. I now own 2 flintlocks. They are working replicas of early
fire arms and I’ve come to be a lot more comfortable around them. At current
I’ve yet to fire a bullet, but several of us are looking into practicing at
a firing range. I never imagined this happening at all! As these are
single shot firearms, I think that’s the part that makes me most
comfortable. I don’t think I’d be very comfortable with anything like
you were shooting, where there are multiple bullets. I think that
would scare me silly. Kudos to you for trying! You are such a brave woman!"
Love and Hugs -A.T.- June 7, 2010 10:05 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way: "I fully
understand the gun thing! I finally did learn to use a rifle well and still
my father & brothers wouldnt take me hunting. But then I discovered I really
didn't want to shoot anything either! lol -S.L.- June 7, 2010

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 418 - Finding Out The Hard Way + some previous
downsizing Heartwings stories: "Hi Tasha, I loved this one, as I was taught
to shoot a shotgun when I was 10 yrs old by my uncle and dad. You are right
about being unaware of how different things may seem until we try them!
I am very comfortable now with shooting, and have always had a great respect
for firearms, and the proper way to use them. I am glad that you had this
experience.
I also have loved the stories of your becoming used to your new smaller home
quarters, and how much less you are able to get along with. We too are
talking about downsizing. I know it will be a task when we decide to do it,
so we are getting rid of extras now. We have a long way to go but every
little bit helps....*S*... I hope you are enjoying these lovely summer
days!" Hugs from -H.C.- June 7, 2010 11:25 PM

Dealing With Feelings of Lack: "Hi Tasha! - How true your message is. Having
moved many times now, I have learned to travel light. My treasured, saved
items ready for that rainy day when I might need them, are gone. Oddly, I
feel lighter and more free without them. My rebellion against waste is
salved by donating as much as possible - even craft materials to church
Sunday schools are appreciated. I now carry with me only my favorite

learned that I can only help when I am asked. And only help people who know
what they want or need. I get in trouble most with people who don't know
what they want or people who are attention getters or manipulators. Those
are the people that come back and bite me in the ass. The dramas, I call
them. They rope you in and then shit on you. I stay clear of those people,
even if they are in dire need of something. Cause usually whether I help
this kind of person or not. They find a way to get someone to do stuff for

lived for long periods of time in one bedroom apartments. For the past ten
years I've been in a smallish two bedroom. In a lot of ways, living in a
smaller space is more comfortable. I could provide lots of examples, but

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 403 -
Loving God: "OH Tasha, this rings so true and I did so much searching for
yrs too...to find my truth inside! The depth of unconditional love is the
only way we can accept the beauty and the ugliness of this strange world we
are in for a short time. My "altar" is still inside as I talk to God and I
am given visions and answers to my questions. But I am always still
questioning, talking or listening! I truly believe it takes a much deeper
love than our human feelings in order to see the light in those or that
which looks so dark. I carry a "lantern of light" as i go into the darkness
and healing with many people. And it is rarely by knowledge but by faith and
love that people my heart and hands touch heal a part of their lives. You
give the love thru your experiences, words and they help heal! Bless you! I
just felt I knew you and you touched my insides with this heartwing note."

January 26, 2010 10:39 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 399 - The Flower Clock: "I believe our ancestors
did not need time pieces as we do today because they had one already. The
sun, you woke at dawn, and went to bed at dusk. You did not need a clock for
one simple reason. You did your task for as long as it took to do it right
and well. They knew when something was taking too long, simply because it
had been done for years the same way. Tradition was a time piece. And it was
handed down. Our life's would be so much better with out clocks. it only
makes us limit ourselves. Another restraint. Something to keep time of how
and who can be the fastest in this thing we call a rat race. Time pieces
have pretty faces, but it makes our faces ugly with wrinkles and frowns. We
put time on everything but the one most important thing....ourselves. Like
rabbits, we run around saying we're late, we're late. And when death comes,
we say its too early. Ecclesiastes says it best," there is a time for
everything." And try as we may, whether we turn back a clock, or push it
forward, time ticks true. Clocks tick like a heart beat. But, we no longer
hear the heart beat of the clock or that of our own heart." God bless, love,

Heartwings again! I've always despised clocks. I only have a clock in
the bedroom. Otherwise they are banned from the rest of my house. Now that
everyone has a cell phone, if they really need to know the time, they can
keep track of it themselves. I love being free from time, being unaware what
the actual time is. So much of our lives are timed or scheduled, it's nice
to ignore that when I'm home and just be. I eat when I'm hungry, I go to the
bathroom when I need to, I walk the dog when she tells me she is ready, the
cats come to me when they want to play or to be pet." Love your writing! It

constant friendship." -Barbara- September 14, 2009 10:21 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 380 - Dreams: "YOU ARE ONE NEAT, NEAT LADY, MISS
TASHA! I'm so glad I stumbled on your Heartwings years ago, and wrote
to you. You have been an unseen counselor to me through the years as your
healing, helpful, thought-provoking words put patches on many bruised and
sore spots of my ego. Sometimes your stories just bring up comforting times
in my own past, and remind me of how loved I was as a child. Yesterday was
the 14th anniversary of my mother's death, and I still get teary-eyed at
times. I'm just feeling a bit down today.
I, too, used to have dreams of writing, when I wrote poetry in high school,
MANY years ago, and edited our literary magazine. I never pursued it, but
through some quirk of fate, I find myself writing a weekly newsletter now
for some 400 people. I run our weekly summer farmers' market here in our
city, through my job as the Visitors Center Coordinator, and the newsletter
is all about the doings at the market. I also find myself now losing this
job I've had for 8 years, (through someone else's political agenda causing
the Visitors Center to close soon due to withholding our funding), and I
question whether I have any skills useful in finding another job. Today's
Heartwings from you helped me to realize that I guess I did accomplish a
long ago dream of writing, even if small and temporary. Thank you, God bless
you." -Dottie- September 14, 2009 6:20 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 380 - Dreams: "Dear Tasha, I always enjoy your
Heartwings, but this one especially spoke to me. How nice to see your dreams
comes true! Not only for you, but for me to read about it! I am happy for
you! And your words are inspirational, as always. I have had many dreams in
my lifetime as well, and as I grow older I do see some of them turn to
reality. My first dream was to be a nun! But when I was 8 years old I can
recall coming to a life changing conclusion. I wanted children. So, I
decided I would get have to get married, and the dream of becoming a nun
faded away. My husband Dan is the best thing that ever happened to me!
I also wanted to become writer, like you, but I have never been published.
Although I did write a novel. I have several rejection slips. Oh well. I
have several more stories inside me that I need to put down on paper.
Although publication may not be in my future, it feels good for me to write
and get the story outside of me because they do kick and scream to come out.
I do love Steve McDonald's music, and have loved it since the first time I
heard it. Sometimes I am amazed that I am able to work with him, even if I
have never met him face to face, I feel we have special friendship. It is
indeed dream come true for me to run his fan club, and distribute his music.
Thanks for always sharing your Heartwings with me" Love, -Jackie-

My Father's Daughter: "Dear Tasha, I just loved your piece honoring your
father. The person like that in my own life was my paternal grandmother, who
does live on through me. She taught me how to sew and gave me unconditional
love, the only place I have ever truly experienced that from another. I can
visualize your gardening; we share that as well. I am in heaven outdoors,
however, I do garden slowly...as it is a lot of work which I take my time
with. It is a process rather than a goal..." Have a lovely and fragrant day
ahead! Warmly, -Elana- June 25, 2009 10:04 AM

Getting Out Of My Own Way: "Tasha, I’d like to offer an observation. I’ve
noticed that you’ve often returned to the theme of your propensity to make
mistakes, and have mentioned the ridicule you received from it as a child. I
think you may have a misperception about yourself on this one. I’ve known
you for a number of years now, and honestly, I can’t think of a mistake
you’ve made since I’ve known you. I don’t see you as mistake-prone at all.
Instead, I’ve observed that you thoughtfully assess a situation and
generally respond with a well-reasoned action. I don’t think of you as a
person who makes stupid mistakes, but rather as a person who behaves in a
careful and attentive manner." Love, -Jen- June 1, 2009 8:54

days as a World War One Sailor in the Danish Navy. My Dad, a decorated Army

until shortly before he died. Now I share memories with old Marine Corps

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 364 - Memorial Day Memories: "Memorial Day was
always special in my childhood, too. We decorated graves of loved ones with
whatever flowers were in bloom then from our gardens. After I was married
and moved from the plains of Nebr. and lived on one coast or the other, I
could not see enriching the floriest so instead I chose to make donations to
my favorite charities in their names to enrich the lives of those in need. I
can't see making morticians richer either nor florists at that time. I
preferred when it was celebrated for the right reasons on that day rather
than the three day week-ends we're guaranteed now." -Sheila D.-
May 24, 2009 6:04 PM
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 364 - Memorial Day Memories: "How very lovely. As
a child, my parents would bring me downtown to see the parade on Memorial
Day. I never could understand why we celebrated "war" and the murder/killing
of so many innocent lives. The solders would march by, then the float of the
four solders who held the American Flag back up that mound on an island with
a name that I never could understand. We went to the same parade year after
year until I was a teen. Suddenly, I was married, having children of my own
and did not keep up the tradition of honoring war. I understand Memorial Day
represents all who died for their country. But if I were German or Jewish or
Japanese or French or Italian, I would be honoring that particular country
and those who died protecting their country and/ or religious beliefs. We
are all human beings. We all make choices. It's sad when any human being
dies. We are sent here to learn our lessons. Then we die and review those
experiences, for better or for worse. Memorial Day means to celebrate the
lives of all the human beings who truly wanted peace for their planet and
families, no matter where on Earth they lived and died. I celebrate human
life--for better or for worse." Love -Carol Ann T.- May 24,

Re: Heartwings
Love notes 358 - The Web of Memory: "Such lovely memories. My dad always
bought my mom a gardenia for Easter and a small flower for me and we
lovingly straight-pinned them onto our Easter coats. When my sister was born
(I was 8 years, 8 months old) my father stopped buying the flowers as now he
had to buy an extra flower, and he just couldn't afford the extra flower
with an extra mouth to feed. He occasionally would buy my mom a flower for
her coat. After Dad died, my mom approached her 70th birthday. My sister and
I gave her a surprise birthday party and I ordered a gardenia corsage. I
asked my oldest cousin, who was dying with cancer, to do the honors and pin
it on my mother. Mom whispered to me "I know why you bought the gardenia".
That summer, mom and my oldest cousin went to an Alaskan cruise together and
8 weeks later, my cousin passed away. Traditions are wonderful memories, and
now my Mom has dad and her favorite niece to remember when I buy her another
gardenia. Love -Carol Ann- April 13, 2009 11:17 AM

Thanks for reminding me. We took my Grandchild to a party at Amvets and
Santa had the same message when leaving . We fall into how we were bought up
good and bad and spoiled. I will have to try harder to break the old ways of
thinking. I thought I loved without conditions but apparently I don't.
If only we could see all the time through the eyes of a child. Cory was so
excited about the party he stood their watching all others opening packages
than his name was called and got to sit on Santa lap and have a picture
taken. After getting down he didn't under stand the helper had his gift and
Cory started to walk away. The young boy (Santa's helper) bent down to Cory
and passed him the gift. He than came back to the table where we all were
sitting at, was told how to open and see what he was given. He pulled the
paper off looking with surprised big eyes at a toy. Hopefully he will learn

teaching, reminding us of our own issues, with each of your Heartwings. I'm so
very glad I know you. Even though we don't talk often, you are in my thoughts
regularly. My mother was Scorpio and I didn't get along with her so believed
Scorpio wasn't good for me. Other Scorpios in my life have often confirmed my
thought, but you don't fit that scenario, thankfully. Perhaps because you
reveal so much of yourself in Heartwings rather than keeping everything a
secret. You let people know you intimately with your writings. Please
continue, friend." Hugs, blessings and love, -Jennie-

WOW....did you strike a nerve this morning!!! We are so much alike it is not
even funny. I am your story also, I was also an only child which made life
very difficult. I cried through most of this, I was reading it to Paul and
crying and you are so right, I still struggle with loving that little child
inside of me.
Rejection and expectations are still a huge issue for me, when something does
not happen that I am looking forward to I am soooo disappointed. I bet this
could become another huge topic like the Grandma's Apron??? Bless you my dear

my big moment of what you refer to as an "attitude of gratitude"...noting to

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 313 - Little By Little We Learn: "Hi Tasha, I had
the same cloth bag struggle! One day I saw "Envirosax" on an internet site and
ordered them. They're parachute fabric and five come in a tiny little pouch
that fit in my purse. The bags are quite large and hold at least the
equivalent of two plastic bags. I've carried them for almost two years and
have had so many people ask "where did you get those?" because of their bright
graphic prints. Now I use my cloth bags for library books and to hold all the
random items that are in my car. My son is going to get a set for his July
birthday. On the day after Thanksgiving my daughter-in-law, her mom and I went
out to the stores (crazy time!) and Jolene was charmed by the bags I kept
pulling out of my purse - "what are you, a magician?" she laughed! And you're
right - it's good to have a few plastic bags for other uses. Unfortunately I'm
seeing way too many people without cloth bags in the stores. I'm not sure
people are as committed to environmentalism as we were in the 'olden days'.

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 310 - The Joy of Dandelions: "Tasha! Once again
"you're in my head"!
The
other day I was pulling handfuls of "Creeping Charlie" out of flower beds and
what lawn we do have...we minimize "real grass" and encourage domestic ground
covers. "Charlie" is so prolific and really, yes, very pretty with the
little round leaves and purple flowers. When I came inside I told my husband
that this weed probably contains the cure for cancer or another serious
disease, and who would know? We see it as undesirable, and that's that. This
is a neighbor's yard, prolific with wild violets and yes, those happy yellow
flowers." Enjoy this beautiful spring! Love, -Candi-

make chain links and each summer we'd at least make a chain that would go

She was a mashed potato, meat and creamed vegetable kind of cook…very basic.
Only in her later years did she explore other recipes, etc. Now, I don’t care
about cooking much. My husband Steve, however loves to cook so I let him. We
work together on large meals for guests, etc. I enjoy making the salads and
baking the pies. Just a little commentary from the now “senior” Mrs. N.

coordinate some sort of service. I wish I could be as graceful with the heavy
changes in life as you are; particularly seeing the beauty in a loved one's
memory instead of suffering the loss with resentment, self-pity and all those
negative emotions. That has been my tendency. I tend to resist and, as I am

conclusions too quickly. Other than there is a unique healing process for each
person and elements that go into creating health. I have been humbled more

This time though your message came a few days before I found that similarity

Heartwings. Like you I fight discomfort! At age 61, though, my desk relatively
clean, 25 sick days a year blessedly unused, I picked up the laptop and sent
an email to the office. Snuggled in the bedcovers, good dogs warming me, I
slept until 11:30. Dennis left coffee in the microwave for me to heat up. An

Re: Heartwings New Book - Heartwings Love Notes for a Joyous Life: "Tasha, you
are truly an inspiration. I'm so excited to get my own copy of the book
soon. You have always been a beacon, shining through the thick fog and
turbulent waters of depression and fear, guiding us and reminding us that hope
remains eternal. I know that we all have times when we feel like a black hole
and have nothing to live for, let alone anything to give to others in need.
Yet that instant when we turn away from our darkness and summon up light and
love to help another, we see how foolish we've been, hiding inside ourselves,
ruminating over imagined flaws and weaknesses, and we open our eyes and our
hearts to one in need, we realize why we are here. Then the darkness vanishes,
leaving only light. and the immense power of love and caring. You taught me
this. A lesson that has improved my life in so many ways. It's a gift I will
always treasure. God Bless YOU!" With love and great appreciation, -Amy-

nice Heartwings, as they all are. It brought back bittersweet memories of my
beloved Grandparents' last years. (Both of my parents died many years
ago--they were both in their 50's.) For the last several years my grandmother
didn't know who I was, and it was not only difficult to visit her and have a
conversation with her, but heartbreaking for me as well, because we had always
been so close. I think my Grandfather knew me, but he had had several strokes,
and couldn't talk, but he did react to me. My Grandmother was always very
sweet, and happy to see me, although she did not know me from one moment to
the next. But I know that we shall be together one day, and I look forward to
it. OK, enough of that, or I shall cry." -Jackie-

Sept 10th 2007
"Hi Sandi - I really enjoyed the story of
"An Inadvertent Return to the Past". Grandmas house was the same - exactly
the same, until we could no longer afford the block of ice. Then perishables
went down into the cellar which was cool enough even in the summer to keep
butter semi firm and milk from curdling for a few days anyway. Leftovers were
certainly dealt with within a day (fried up-anything that was leftover, nothing
was wasted). When our own fridge went a couple of summers ago, naturally during
a heat wave I did exactly what the writer did and like her, was very glad when
our new appliance was delivered. I think what I most appreciate about modern
living is being able to turn on a tap and get hot water. Take a shower and a
bath-luxurious! As a child I had to haul water and heat it on the old
electric stove before dumping it into the bathtub. Oh and then you didn't waste
the bath water either. After me came Grandma to take her bath, then the water
was bailed out by hand and poured down a sink that drained into the ditch next
to the house. It's remarkable that we didn't get some kind of illness from what
they call to-day "grey water". We have so much to be grateful for, don't
we. Blessings -Shirley-"

June 19th 2007
Re: Heartwings Love Notes 265 - Is This Really Progress: "Ever walk into a
store, through an auxiliary entrance, thinking you'll save time entering the
store that way from the parking lot and then walk by some of the unattended
self-service checkouts in order to get to the rest of the store? Ultimately
none of them are being used when you walk by and then they all come to
attention (they're alerted by movement you know) usually Qty-4 of them and
they start speaking, loudly, in short delay of one another, each going through
it's spiel, telling you what they're about, how they can help you, and what
you should be doing next, repeating the what you should be doing next
statement as your startled, processing the high tailing it out of there. Makes
you feel perhaps just a tad bit embarrassed for not having walked around to
the front entrance of the store next time. Like - Halt!, Who Goes There.. Some
has entered the store by going the wrong (but not marked as such) way. Not by
one but all four of the machines.
Let alone the mechanics of operating one of them, should be simple right? Be
prepared shoppers - be on your game, others are now behind you with the same
idea of a quick, expedient checkout. Your timing or pace has got to be right
(I swear it's like a Candid Camera or store crew just having fun with you),
scanning the item correctly, then maybe "scan it again", guess what? it's got
no barcode- , Oops you waited to long "Attendant assistance" is now displayed
on the screen in front of you, now comes "place it in the bag", you think
about it h'mmm and say which bag - is this like Lets make a deal and which
door do I choose?, "place it in the bag - now please!!!" the machine declares
- Oops "remove the last item placed" - No wait that was me bumping of the
scale the bag was on by mistake - sorry!, Nope - "remove that last item now
please!", "Which method do you prefer to pay with", "Are you using a card?",
"which kind of card please? debit/credit", "which type of card please? visa/
master card/etc, "On what date did president Lincoln give the Gettysburg
Address?" What? - Why do you want to know that?, "Insert card please" Were?.
"Insert your card now please", OK - fine take my wallet also if you
want and you choose - just please stop asking me all these questions, "What? -
Wait a minute - You have coupons?", "Attendant assistance required" -
"Attention All shoppers" it announces across the store - "Attendant
assistance"... "Someone has messed up on automated-self-checkout machine
number ~~~" (as a picture of you now appears on all security monitors across
the store like a most wanted poster).
HELP! - Run, hide - leave the groceries, we can always shop again later but
this time use a cashier. Wait no, it's got my card and I'm being held hostage,
shoppers are now looking on - some thinking gee what's up with this person in
front of me? not realizing as yet and others thinking - Oh God could I be
next? - is there an open cashier?" A'hh Yes Progress! -Doc D.-

for our freedom via wars, but remembrance of others who died for our freedoms

Notes for a Joyous Life and Heartwings Love Notes 259 - Dance or March The

"I ordered two copies of your book - WONDERFUL! Congratulations, Tasha! I'm
saving the extra for a friend's birthday and know she will love it too.
So often your Heartwings and my life coincide, and this time is no exception.
Last Sunday night we had Confirmation for 75 eighth graders. I did all their
certificates through a database program that I had used the year before. Ten
minutes before Mass began one of the parents came to me and said "the wrong date
is on the certificates". I immediately went to the microphone in the sanctuary
and announced to 1000 people that technology had made my job so much easier. In
the past I HAND LETTERED their certificates. This year, however, between pain
meds for a wrist fracture and general muzzy-60's-headedness I neglected to
change the date on the "report" feature of the database. Oddly I DID change the
year but not the date. I told everyone they would have their new certificates
within three days and they did.
Embarrassing, yes. We ALL do "bloopers". Here's my mantra: Will I be remembering
this on my deathbed? Not likely !
As always, thank you for your remarkable insights and beautiful writing. I still
compare you to another favorite, Anne Lamott!

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 240 - Christmas
Magic: "Tasha, I always wait until I have plenty of quiet, uninterrupted time to
read the wonderful writings you send. I find those times to be very special, but
the things I read are priceless! I think about them all day and often go back
and read them again. With so much negativity and just plain stupidity in the
world, reading your gems take me to a little oasis where what I breathe in is
love and I'm wrapped in a warm fuzzy cloak of peace and happiness. Thank you so
very much for inspiring me and giving me hope! You are very much appreciated!"
Love always, -Amy-

them to me. Yes you are right it does hurt when the people with whom you have
had good times and parting had to be on some misunderstanding or otherwise; it
does hurt but best way is to let it go after all; all souls have something to
give us...bad incidents too have something to teach us. I too follow this
philosophy...just be what you are, don't have to bother what others are...just
believe in, that all are good..." -Chandini-

ride lately, and have had to let go of a lot. You are so right, I had been
focusing on the age I am going to be and getting depressed about it, now I am
going to become ageless also. Just to say it feels so liberating! It gives me
permission to become whoever I want to be (without setting off a chronological
death knoll). I have never felt my age and for a long time I didn't look it. Oh
thank you so much for giving me this freedom. Thank you for the wonderful work

Re: Heartwings Love Notes 226 - The Lost
Art: "Well Said Tasha, I remember as a girl growing up on the farm in
Hubbardston, I so very much enjoyed receiving letters in the mail - sometimes
from pen-pals I never actually met, or from friends who moved away, or the many
post cards from my uncle who traveled w/his work. As a teenager, I loved the
many crazy, zany ones of all sizes & containing bits of dog food, laundry soap,
hair, or other funny stuff from wild & crazy friends of mine. As a young adult
the letters took on more serious & thoughtful tones, as different friends wrote
about their experiences from a poets' point of view. Later, still more serious
subjects were expressed - car repairs, illnesses, jail, deaths, births, but
happy experiences too - like parties, births, trips, happy meetings. Now
w/email, many don't seem to be too interested in personal electronic letters.
Letter writing has become a lost art. But they create history & give proof of
life being lived. I still keep a shoebox filled w/letters from yrs. ago, the
envelopes have pictures drawn on them by the senders, stickers, or sayings. How
wonderful it was to get them in the mail." Peace & Love, -Ann-

1970. I met an old woman and her husband, she came to my house one day and found
me passed out on the floor from hunger. I woke up to her putting a face cloth on
my face and taking care of me. She took me to the welfare office and got me
commodities, then she asked me how far along I was. She said she would help me
find a doctor, well she did and helped me get Medicade. This wonderful women
hand sewed me baby stuff for my baby, at the time I didn't know it because she
told me the things were for one of her grandsons. When she gave me the baby
things I asked her how I was ever going to repay her? She said "Just pass it
on". Ever since then I have tried to do just that, I taught self defense in
Waterson College. One of the girls I taught saw me on the bus one day, she told
me some of the things I had taught her came in handy and without it she may have
lost her life. She was able to disarm a man with a gun and had him arrested. You
never know the kind of impact you will have on another person's life. Thanks so
much for the Heartwings, you have made an genuine impact and difference with my
life as well." -Phyllis-

feeling this way about my 96 year old grandmother. Tough to vocalize, but you
hit the mark perfectly." -Lisa G.-
