nothing serious, Journey had his tonsils out, adnoids out, and his ears drained. He had some hearing loss from fluid trapped behind the eardrums. He has asthma and the enlarged adnoids and tonsils were making breathing harder on top of the asthma so his oxygen levels were way low. I'm not a fan of invasive medicine, but in this case it was a really good choice. He said tonight that he already feels like he can breathe & hear better! Yay!

Hi Toni, A big hug from all of us.... Ohhh the kids are having so much fun on LifeAsAKid.com ! ~I set up Hannah to be able to Twitter from cell phone and post to her blog instantly via Jott. My son Journey just had surgery and is doing a video blog on LifeAsAKid about it from the hospital. Rainbow Star tuned in the staff at UW Children's Hospital here in Madison to the site while here, and they asked us to send flyers to post in the computer centers so kids in the hospital or siblings can sign up. UWCH asked if they could show Journey's blog to other kids facing surgery so they could alleviate some of their fears of the unknown. It's such a blessing to see how the kids and I and Ramona coming together on that project is now growing to touch kids who are in need of love and support while healing. One small seed of inspiration, growing into a beautiful tree. I'll chat some more when the kids and i are back home tomorrow, until then~ lots of love.

Hi, noticed on Russell's page postings you were having some photo gallery technical glitches ~ I can help you with that, either by phone or email, so drop me a line and let me know what's happening when you try to get into your photos. You have such lovely photos of your home and nature, I want to make sure they can all be seen! :-)

Hi Toni,

very kind words. Thank You:-)
The location of the water is Lake Tahoe. (just had this spinning of information buzzing back to me) I took it when i had just come out of a personal meditation retreat that i had been on for 2-3 months. Yeah i had forgot all about that.
Anyhow, the one where i am on the motorbike is the Alps in Europe (on the Italian side) and in the back ground is Monte Blanc (mountain) It separates France and Italy. Most beautiful place. I spent a couple of months going around Europe on my bike after been at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France.

MMMMmmm this was before my 2 angels came along:-)

Taking of Angels, yep i see you also have one;-) are there more?

Regards Ricky

Hi Toni! Welcome to the site. Your photos are beautiful, I saw the montage you did with the animated river and the images drifting by on the flowers and leaves.... I spent every summer in the Ozarks near Trail of Tears State Park running barefoot in the woods, with a deer as my best friend... so the pics really touched me! I used to design jewelry (high-end silver and gold /colored gemstones) in St.Thomas with a Brazilian company, I noticed you're working on that creative inspiration right now. Frank here on the site also does silverwork http://franco.soyousaid.com/ And I have some contacts in the islands for Larimar (the Dolphin-Love stone)... Have fun on the site and let me know if you need anything.
