STERLING SEPTEMBER SATURDAY SPEAKIN

Sweet September ~ the fragrances, the air, my coffee all fantastic this morning! Great and bountiful morning to all.  I mean it!
What a month:

Today is Beyonce's birthday which is shared with none other than the famous Peter Rabbit of the classic story I might add, hahaha, happy Birthday to you both ~

Good morning on this first and fabulous Saturday in September...
And what a month is it going to be!

Much has happened through the years on September 4... some things... well let's just leave it to say, some good, some not so good in the circle of life/*\;

GERONIMO:

"I was warmed by the sun, rocked by the winds and sheltered by the trees as other Indian babes. I was living peaceably when people began to speak bad of me. Now I can eat well, sleep well and be glad. I can go everywhere with a good feeling."

Surrender Sept 4

(if you wanna believe the history books)

some say, it was a conversaton

 and an understanding/promises broken

 by General Nelson Miles who betrayed him.

Died Feb 1090

Sept 4... It's also:

Fight PROGRASTINATION MONTH (or for those die hards, guess you could just wait til' next September to fight that)
It's National Chicken Soup Month!
It's OVARIAN AND PROSTRATE CANCER MONTH.
CANCER SUCKS...
On this day in 1972 Mark Spitz made history by taking home 7 gold medals in the Olympics... where were you that day??? Did you see it?

Are you ready for this?

IT IS CHILDRENS' GOOD MANNERS MONTH!!! and to think the little darlings have started school now and they have this very month to work on their good manners too!

I love this one: 
ITS BE KIND TO AUTHORS AND EDITORS MONTH ~
No, I am not making that up... It is true, guess that means it's time to head over to my website and buy another copy of Healing Heartaches today!

Perhaps most striking: is this:

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and its time to raise more awareness and give everyone ideas on how they can help the fight for better cures. Look around on your search engines...and order your Free Gold Ribbon Pin, 4 free Gold Ribbons (Embroidered), 6 free stickers, and 6 free bookmarks from the National Childhood Cancer Foundation to show your support. http://www.curesearch.org/support_curesearch/raise_awareness/index.aspx?id=3516
There is also a letter campaign to try to get support for a Childhood Cancer Postal Stamp --
which would be a great way to help without a cost. There is also a link to learn about warning signs of childhood cancer which we all should know, as early detection makes a huge difference in the life of a child. 

I hope everyone will have a moment to stop out and help the fight for childhood cancer sometime this month.

STOMP
and then you can be kind to an author... LOL

Ah yes, September... notice the change in the air, the difference in the light?
 I have noticed it this morning myself!

 Life in all its circles and cycles... spinning and twirling and dancing to the drum beat of Mother Earth in all her glory ~
Just yesterday as I was walking out of a store, so engrossed in my happy place, I was smiling and singing and having an all out great time... I walked out as a huge, I mean HUGE PICK UP TRUCK pulled into the parking place right in front of me... I guess my smile was contagious as the driver just kept looking at me and begin to smile and then ran up right on me!!!
As we sort of became "intimate" I looked UP... and the blaring sign on the top of the windshield took me to hysterical peels of laughter as she shrieked and applied her brakes screaming "I AM SOOO SORRY"
I of course lay my head on top of the hood still hysterically laughing:
Blaring the writing said:
LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR ~~~~~~

The woman lept from that tall truck to see if I was alright, and I just couldn't stop my laugh... I was more than fine, knowing I had just received a wonderful gift ...
The message was:  LEAP AND THE NET WILL APPEAR...

Poor lady, she told me she was so taken by my smile, my walk and it just mesmerized her... so she kept coming, forgetting to hit the brakes, thank goodness I was ok ~
Silly woman, how could I be anything less than OK ~
LOL

Poor thing, of course she couldn't read the sign, she was inside looking at me in my happy place, so I made her turn around and read it ~ she then started laughing with me and what a lovely smile she had as well!

Imagine my surprise when she told me, "I forgot that was even there, it's been so long that I looked at the outside of my windshield, but I will make sure to look at it every day from now on... How can I ever thank you for reminding me of the importance of that saying???"

We both got a great reminder, a great laugh, and then...
she hugged me and there were smiles and
TEARS IN HER EYES... hahahahaha as she started to walk away, she turned and said, "you are a healer... and I am so grateful to have "run into you"! With the last of her words, we both broke into hysterics again!~!~!

AND
how was and is your day???

The hibiscus are sure beautiful this year, brilliant in their textures and colors, spilling forth with each new day, a new and exciting color awaits me as an old friend ~
of course the four-legged just love to grab them and run, shredding them and looking for that sweet nectar of the center... yummy to them with a fine mess for me later!
We all enjoy those hibiscus ~

STOMP into your day with deep gratitude and great fun.

oh my you will not believe it... STARBUCKS has brought back... yep... PUnkin spice latte is back early this year!!!
woo hoo happy am I, bring on the gift certificates, I am STarBuck bound for mine! Just may pay it forward for the person behind me when I get there... so I can watch their dismay in my rear view mirror ~ The fire is burning brightly the sage is filling the air with healing thoughts on the wind for all ~

The fire is burning brightly the smell of sage is filling the air, with thoughts being sent on the wind ~ ~ ~
