Wanna see it AGAIN?

Happy BIRTHDAY MY SWEET AMERICA!!!

Coffee is splendid this morning... Babies love running in the rains of this week, seems they just don't get it til' they finally feel wet under all that fur! Too funny are they.

Maybe the Creator has cried all the tears combining joy and sadness for the events of the week. Joy of welcoming two warriors home; the fallen of Tampa; sadness of the cruelty of the world and seeing the pain their leaving has caused those still here.

The fallen of Tampa Police Officers

DavidCurtis and Jeff Kocab

have been laid to rest; their funerals over...

The procession was awe-inspiring... breathtaking, and tears fall still in Tampa along with the rains. The Creator has cried all week it seems and the Thunder Gods are angry.

Mayor Iorio, Chief Castor and The Tampa PD

my feather is tipped, to you, courage under stress, amazing grace witnessed by millions; a community is proud.

My heart is filled.

To the families:

My heart is around you, my prayers and thoughts are with you and with our community in Unity for healing, for hope and for

the courage to embrace each day,

each moment with

opportunity, love and passion;

 as both these

men did in their lives

and \

now are doing

from the other side running with others they now have joined

 THE THIN BLUE LINE\

May The Creator Bless YOU Both you are heros, the fallen, the brave, you have done outstanding jobs here, your legacies left to remember, to honor and to live on with pride.

Curtis and Kocab, two of TPD finest

who died in the line of Duty.

The families will heal the heartaches... they will have the help of those warriors who died in the line of service and honor. They just need time and care and support that is ongoing. They need hope in healing.

Happy 4th of July America.

Celebrate America

The eagle symbolizes protection “Eagles traditionally represent strength, courage, farsightedness, and immortality, and wings symbolize forward movement, swiftness, and protection. You may get a little scorched being so close to the sun, but that's the price you pay for the view!"

And the thing about Eagle is this:

You have to... 

you just

HAVE TO

look UP to see her soar, to feel the majesty, the wonder, the awe...

In the face of trauma, uncertainty, disaster and moments of fear, times of trial and contemplation...

STAND UP, Keep the Faith, Dig DEEP...

LOOK UP!
