Ruby-Crowned Kinglet Energy

That is the Ruby-crowned Kinglet. I kinda have to laugh, because I about drove myself crazy trying to find one, along Desmond road, just a couple years ago! Now I know about 4 or five places where they can be found pretty easily, including along the canal next to my condo! It's such a cutie. If you have read some of my previous postings about this bird there isn't much more to say, except I admire it's energy. It's a silly little ball that never stops moving! I don't think I have ever heard it's voice, maybe I will one day, until then I will just admire them, and keep trying to get a good photo. They are a challenge!

Yellow is a pretty color. It's supposed to chase sadness away, and promote energy. Hmmm. I have very little yellow in my life except for a yellow and white polka dot duvet cover I bought at IKEA, and love. I think it looks amazing with the cornflower blue walls we have in the bedroom. Kinda like this picture of Gold Yarrow, against a Cornflower Blue sky.

Hey, look at that! I smiled just then. Maybe there's something to that theory after all!

Feng Shui Of The Mind... Well, My Mind Anyway

"Yellow is a very favorable vibration for mental or intellectual activity, as it promotes a clear state of mind. Yellow heightens your awareness and alleviates depression, sadness, or any kind of despondency. Yellow vibration foods are: pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, lemons and corn."

Feng Shui-ing Of My Mind...




I am giving myself a photography assignment for this coming week. I want to find as much YELLOW as possible, and photograph it. Yellow in all things. Food. Clothing. Flowers. The Sun. Maybe even yellow in a sunset if the opportunity presents itself. You see, my Fibromyalgia has been wicked the last few months, which means an almost complete lack of energy. So, I need and want to change that. And I am willing to give yellow a chance. Sure...  why not? Right? The day-lily in this post is from last spring. It's pretty isn't it? I thought it would be fun to show the original photo and the motion swirl edited version.

I like them both. 

See, I am happy and more energetic already!

Good Plan!
