“Peace, love and light to every being, everywhere.”
Every being, everywhere. Those seventy plus sparrows, wrens and swallows (yes, I counted them) out there on the power lines are beings. They think, make decisions, remain vigilant in protecting their safety, find food, and raise their young. They are beings. I am a being. My dog is a being. Wow, does he make decisions! And he is thinking when he tips his head sideways and looks at me with those big brown eyes.
Wayne Dyer, a teacher, author, motivational speaker, who I heard this statement from continues with: if you want to have peace, love and light for yourself and people you care about, you have to send it to every being, everywhere. Even people you can’t stand, disagree with, or have harmed you. He said even to Hitler. Every being, everywhere.
A composite of other tidbits from my scads of hours in personal growth classes that I work with a lot is: Don’t blame, don’t name-call, don’t judge. My, oh my, sometimes that keeps me pretty busy. In watching others and myself as I try to learn. Many people judge other people just because the other people are different than they are. Hhhmm, different does not mean wrong or less than. I could go on about calling others names and blaming them, which generally side-steps the real issue. I’ll spare you at the moment!
Now, are these bracelets too cool!
The top one is an original souvenir bracelet from the World Exposition of 1889 in Paris when the Eiffel Tower was built and so many other wonders. Yes, my great-grandmother, Adele, was there and this is her bracelet! The medallions are of the French Revolution, including pivotal men: Robespierre, Danton, Kleber, and Marat.
The trinket bracelet is an original from the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962!
Would these make a great book cover!

March 20, 2026 at 12:07 pmYes, Mary, you are right. Every being has a purpose has a place has respect and needs to be nurtured. This doesn’t mean that you necessarily have to be the one who nurtured them when another being has harmed you. It’s very difficult to turn the other cheek. What is possible however it’s not letting that consume you to move forward with your life to show concern to show respect to others that you wish that was served and given to you.
Good luck with your last chapter. I’m looking forward to reading this book. It must be very difficult for you knowing that you’re coming to an end part of you is very happy that feeling of accomplishment. The other part is having to say goodbye to these characters that have consumed you every day for quite a while. Good luck with this and move forward with pride.

March 20, 2026 at 5:17 pmMerci, merci bien Robin! Has been interesting to see my energy level be low as I ended Chapter 24 (25 is the final one). You are right, sometimes I fall asleep thinking of my last primary character, Adele, and her interactions with her father and her husband. Aah, the next novel! We shall see~ Nous verrons, as I will say when I am in Langres, France! Thank you again.
