MS 150 IN TEXAS THIS WEEKEND & Strength

SHAUNA ROORDA

completes

100 miles

MS 150 TEXAS

Congratulations once again!

Laura was there at the finish Line

to meet her!

Yep exhausted, but there!!!

MS the cure is on its way

thanks to all these riders, their dedication

they will NOT stop.

Laura is safely back at home

and

yes she is exhausted, but I am thinking the smile

is just etched on her face with pride

of those at the ride

and that Shauna had enough strength

to hoist that bike over her head

amazes all of us!

"When you are required to exhibit strength, it comes." Joseph Campbell

So then, as I sit with my coffee and gaze at the photos of Shauna and Laura,

both warriors and both having the strength

of a hard weekend now behind them

with the MS150

I can't help but know

that the above quote fits them

and all the warriors of this

page

quite well!

MS

sucks

but we are hot on its tail

and will not stop

until it joins the history books

and from the sounds of things and what was

happening out there in Texas

there are many who are working hard

to make sure monies are getting to those

at the cutting edge research

to see that it happens sooner rather than later.

So then,

I am just tickled to life

that Laura is home

and

hope to see her real soon

and

hear all about it

once she is "recovered from the excitement"

and

now that she has "landed"

 I feel certain

they celebrated greatly

and

Shauna and Dixie slept a well deserved sleep

with a great massage scheduled for

Monday!

><

May your day be one of great strength

great gratitude and brilliance in all things.

As for me here, I am preparing for the next few months

that will take me to:

Baltimore, Montana, Denver, Arizona, South Dakota

and who knows where else!

"Keep walkin Dr Showalter, just keep walking"

and so it is good!

Have you had to talk to folks about insurance

finding insurance, changing insurance lately?

Oh boy, talk about patience and confusion

and the neurotransmitters of the brain

sending messages at warp speed!

haha

I was just wondering if

maybe throwing the phone in the pool would be the best answer, until i found Jonathan Constansa

with Liberty Mutual

and I think I just might ask him if he will join my family someday..

BUT

more about him tomorrow!

I have been in search of insurance as

COBRA is ending this month

and

find it no easy task,

but believe that too has been resolved,

but

have also

found a wonderful man (Jonathan)

who is saving me a bundle in

auto insurance!

Stay tuned for tomorrows' thoughts

once again

on

customer service that has

worked out more than grand

with a young man who

not only knows his "stuff"

but

is professional, courteous, and

has tremendous skills at explaining things

without giving me a headache!

"The Act of God designation on all insurance policies... means roughly that you cannot be insured for the accidents that are most likely to happen to you. If your ox kicks a hole in your neighbor's Maserati, however, indemnity is instantaneous."

 ~Alan Coren, The Lady from Stalingrad Mansions, 1977

And you know I like keeping it "real here"

I amy not give you what you "want"

but

you can count on me

to

keep it real !!!

Kelly TwoWolves out there in South Dakota

was to be travelling to Northern Va

for a special weekend,

but those plans have been now delayed

secondary to plans beyond her control

and

I'm sure the spirits have a reason for all.

So then

I'll keep all posted of the new dates for that

wonderful experience for VA, DC, MD

folks up there.

><

Prayers going up for those affected by the tornadoes

in the southeast and southwest of Virginia who now are coping with such profound sorrow, grief, trauma and destruction... we are thinking about you and hold your pain in our hearts, sending great hope to all affected by this and your loved ones.

Today friends, may you have the strength to look around you and find beauty, find strength, find all that you need to step into a day that you appreciate.

"There is [a] spiritual strength derived from the subjecting of the physical appetite to the will of the individual. "He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than king." If there were no other virtues in fasting but gaining strength of character, that alone would be sufficient justification for its universal acceptance." David McKay

The fire is burning and the sage is filling the air, with blessings on the suns rays to all who enter here, and many who do not even know that here is here!

Walk in Beauty,

DRSES
