Gardening is new to me. I never wanted to crawl around on the earth and get my hands dirty. Actually the dirty part is quite minimal. I am so excited about my little vegetable garden. I have a batch of vegetables "incubating" in a plastic dome on the front lawn. My next "experiment" with vegetables. 72 little egg-crate like cubicles made of plastic with a dome on top to hold moisture, filled with potting soil and two seeds in each little compartment. The demension of this plastic crate is two and 1/2 feet by one foot.

My first experiment,My tomato plant finally bore eatable fruit! Ha! I planted one single tomato plant in October and I harvested two orange not red tomatoes. We ate them last night raw right from the garden and they were delicious. They tasted sweet and alive. There are 6 more tomatoes on that one lonely plant.
How exciting.
Interestingly enough, this tasty, healthy,tomato plant didn't look like it was going to survive. In January we had temperatures that went into the low 30-ies at night, and there were a few days when it looked a bit shriveled and ready to die but water brought it back.
Let's see that's a total of four months growing in my garden.
I am amazed and grateful for the wonderful experience of seeing a living thing flourish on it's own with just a tad of help from me watering with a scooper of miracle grow once a week.
I am looking forward to enjoying more new experiences with my next step, composting and perhaps a crop of watermelon, squash, strawberries etc. before the end of the year! I love to talk about plants and I especially love that a new door has opened.

Miss perfect (that's me) is finding more holes in the road that swallow me up to my nose....hahaha.....otherwise known as energy drains.
I am starting to get glimpses of my Vision of how I want my ideal day to look.
These glimpses of my perfect life are coming to me by seeing the things I don't want.
I hit a few more over the weekend.
As I see what pisses me off and zaps my soul.....I see my own unique energy drains.
Here's what I do want:
I want to feel good.
I want to feel happy.
I want to feel creative.
I want to enjoy now! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.......
My vision for my perfect day is looking like a peaceful, prosperous, fairytale
existence because I'm seeing just a few things that I don't want and turning
my attention to what I do want.
My future is starting to look like this:
A vision of me finally out in my garden tending to the earth, every day, getting my hands dirty in nature....wearing long flowing skirts and feeling like a vision of light and love.
I see myself lighter than air as other people yak about relationships and drama.
I see myself talking more about tomatoes and basil and strawberries than "who said what"?
I see myself perhaps being talked about as the crazy, happy,...hahaha...but prosperous karate lady....hahaha
Because of these energy drains...I'm starting to REALLY
look over there and see my life un-furling....beautifully!
It's just the beginning of my vision of my leading edge life......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The universe will provide in it's own way and in it's own time.
It is now February 3rd, Friday.
I can see a clear vision:
My next group of beginner karate students is about to register and begin.
Mid-February is the best time for me in an easy and relaxed manner.
All of a sudden I am interviewing lots of adults.
Grown up's....hahaha.
No registration just yet but I can see it all coming together
in an explosion of, "We are ready to begin. Please teach us"!
I will soon be making the calls of the interested people
who have filled out the information sheets over the past month or so.
I will begin when the first adult shows me the $'s for a registration fee!
I want 9 but I will not settle for less than six.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................I'll keep you posted.
