The message behind this little article is to surround yourself with beauty, and vibrant, positive energy allowing life to embrace you as you ponder the rich blessings in your life. Seek out those moments to gather enough memories for your future to the point where their surplus will overflow into the lives of others.

Not far from the Tracy Aviary is an English Tea House.  Still captured by that flamingo charm how could I resist creating another memory with my children? Therefore, to the tea house we went! Each footstep anxiously awaited the next, till we finally found ourselves at the door.

Look forward to the next article where I’ll show you some footage revealing the old English charm behind that door. From there, it won’t be so difficult to get back on track again, (or back onto the cobble streets of England) with more upcoming articles on my recent visit to England.

Are you ready for some pictures? Are you ready for another clue? The 1st clue previously mentioned of the mystery place was somewhere across the English Channel.  Guesses have been made but the answer will not be revealed until the end of the month. Remember there will be English treats waiting in the wings.

Here are the first batch of photos. The next article will reveal more. The sooner you get it right, the better the treat!

Let’s begin with the journey

You have some good clues here. There will be more pictures next time. Each article will have a picture theme. This one focused on the journey.

If you haven’t been following  my trip to England articles read my journal entries starting from  “England” to this current one. This is a journey I enjoy sharing with you.

As Valentine’s Day is approaching, there is a special I included that ladies would love (including myself when I get back from England). You can find it under “Health Tip” (the tab at the top of this page). Once you open that page just select the Valentine Special link at the bottom of the page.  The price is low and the quality outstanding.

Adieu for now.

Here are some pictures for you to delight in. Let’s start at the terminal in the Salt Lake City airport, to a blizzard in Chicago where some flights were cancelled except mine. The plane received special attention of de-icing which caught my attention as I looked out of the window. What surprises would this storm bring? The thought intensified when the captain of the plane announced for passengers to prepare for a little turbulence.

The northern part of England provided me with its red carpet welcome of rain. It didn’t matter, however, as the views made up for it. Here is a glimpse of the old country and its cobbled streets. Throw in a castle and some barges and what do you have? Why Skipton, in Yorkshire of course!

A visit to the market is always a fun experience. You walk away satisfied even without buying anything!

This is going to be quite a tour from one old country to the next..which is your first clue as mentioned in the previous article. The next batch of photos will come from across the channel. Be prepared for a great surprise, just how I was at first.  Any guesses? The first one who gets this right will get an english treat upon my return.  Which country am I referring to? If this is too hard a guess, there will be some photos for you to browse over next time.

This is just a quick note to let you know I was thinking of you on this special day of celebration. I promised you in my previous article there would be some pictures of fabulous places during my visit here in England. I also have another surprise, a mystery place where I will be heading (which I didn’t even know about). Stay tuned for some photos of the beginning days of my trip to England, and a clue of the mystery place. Celebrating my birthday in the old country will be one to remember always. I will share the excitement with you soon.

As the month of January comes to a close, this is still a great time to reflect on your goals for the year. What are some of the things you are looking forward to? As long as you feel you are progressing, you can expect great things to happen that are waiting for you in the wings.

Building this web site has been a very rewarding experience. If you are a first time visitor read the ‘red carpet’ welcome in one of the previous articles. There are some great musical cards to delight in. Also tour the main site and be sure to include “About,” “Vision,” ”Health Tip,” ”Recipe,” and “Miracle” in your exploration.

For those of you who are already familiar with the site, these pages have just been updated.  In fact, the only page left that needs attention is “service.”  I am, however, on the prowl for a miracle spotlight, as well as a politician’s vision. These two pages have great introductions on those topics. Please forward the link to anyone you know who may have a beautiful experience to share. There is a special reward for those submissions!

There are some spotlights already waiting in the wings, that will replace the current ones when their turn comes.  Spotlights should last about a month once all categories have been filled. Building the foundation for this web site has caused some spotlights to grace the pages longer. Articles here will be posted more often now that the main site is coming together; another worthwhile goal for 2008.

It is exciting to think that our audience is growing with new friendships across the globe. It’ll be interesting to learn of other cultures, as their spotlights shine upon our world. We will be able to hear different kinds of music, try out traditional recipes, and learn of experiences that may rock our world. It will be an exhilarating journey for us all.

‘Speaking’ of journey, I am about to take another one; a trip all the way to England. I will be leaving on Thursday, with a 6 hour layover to look forward to in Chicago.  I will indulge in a good book during this long wait. To give you a clue as to what book I will be reading, look at “Quote Spotlight.” I highly recommend the read if you want to live your dream.

I will be taking my camera along to share my journey with you, so please come back often to the blog portion of the site. To begin our journey enjoy this video clip of the English Countryside, and pay attention to the brief message at the end.

To view video clip, click on the button shown. Clicking elsewhere in the picture will take you out of this web site and into You Tube’s site!

Farewell for now, I know the English rain will greet me, but so will the experience! Count on me eating fish and chips, crunchies and picnics. I also look forward to the parks, countryside, shops and open markets regardless of the rain. I will spend some time on the northwest coast of England, as well as the southeast coast where residents boast of the oldest beach in England..

Come back again to learn of the mystery places I’ll be visiting. Expect to see some great photos of rainfall; just kidding! I will leave the snow behind and the powder to ski in, but it can wait till I get back. England calls and so do my parents! It will be wonderful to see them again.
