Small investment, huge dividends! I learned of this about 6 months ago & have giggled with family members as I count while we hug for long enough. A 21-second hug promotes stress-reducing hormones, lowers cortisol levels, lowers blood pressure, and boosts heart health & trust. I have personally experienced it to shift my entire being & shake off negative energy. If another human is missing, your arms wrap around your own self with the same benefits. As my dear friend, Lois, says, “long hug, long hug,” and as another dear friend, Miranda, says, “I won’t let go til you’re ready.” And cheers to my dear friend, Barb, who is known for her spunky hugs!

Let’s reclaim a solid, Biblical practice! And may it no longer be co-opted by the church & only marginalized & assigned to evil new age practices & warnings to “not go there.” We need to go there, we must go there, as we are encouraged in both the old and new testaments to do so. We are missing out on so much health, depth & strength by letting ourselves be shamed into avoiding meditation. Can be done anywhere, any time. Benefits are immediate, calming, re-focusing, mind transformative & what I have found to be so very connective with God. Both Old and New Testaments are deeply rooted in purposeful & thoughtful verses that encourage the habit of meditation. Combined with breathing techniques that promote wellness and reduce stress & anxiety, God’s Word has provided a framework for focus, increased quality of life & clarity, available to everyone. I have personally experienced it to shift my entire being & shake off negative energy.

Frequency, vibrations, hertz & musical pitch are parallel in importance with meditation. Our meditation moments & habits can be enhanced by implementing these additional considerations. These help alter brainwave patterns & reset our autonomic nervous system. It is a fruitful goal to increase our alpha & theta wave activity while lessening beta waves in our brains, which results in boosting our neuroplasticity, our awareness & peace of mind. Romans 12:2.

I’ve learned that years ago churches were centers of healing, in addition to being houses of worship. Giant church bells resonated with ultrasonic frequencies that had therapeutic effects. Some people report that 432 hertz meditation music promotes relaxation & healing energy. Research & try out some deep, healing music that best suits you; tons of options available online.

I’ve always loved the Hershey kisses bell commercial at Christmas time. Look up posts about bells, churches as healing centers & vibration, very cool info. Bring back the bells!!!

For a couple of years now, I have been reading the Book of Enoch. Fascinating to me. As part of the Ethiopian Bible, preserved in Aramaic among the Dead Sea Scrolls, it is full of extremely interesting passages, unique descriptions expanding on the Flood texts & giants, and explanations that have connected dots for me as I read my regular Bible and would scratch my head because things were not making sense. It has enriched my Bible knowledge, my wish to learn more, my faith & my limited understanding……it expounds about more of the heavenly realms, assignments of angels, other gods, council of Heaven, God’s Incredible Mercy & Love, and some of the mysteries that have had me question & yearn for more.

I highly recommend it. Portions of it have blown my mind & shown me how small some of my thinking has been. It is available online in an audio format narrated by a guy with an English accent that enhances it for me. I have always loved the English language and the beauty of words, but for me, this book takes it to a whole new level with descriptive passages that easily enable me to envision them & use the wonderful imagination with which God created us. One of my favorite passages so far in that book reads like this:

CHAPTER XI.

1. And in those days I will open the store chambers of blessing which are in the heaven, so as to send them down ⌈upon the earth⌉ over the work and labour of the children of men. 2. And truth and peace shall be associated together throughout all the days of the world and throughout all the generations of men.’

Check it out! I hope it challenges & blesses you as it has me!

A very fun, new fabric for me. Bamboo clothing…all manner of it….. It’s cooling, moisture-wicking, so soft & easy to wear! A step above cotton and linen for me.

Apparently, allegedly, school photos for many decades have been used for nepharious purposes regarding access to children, their addresses, their personal info.

Enough is Enough!

Luke 17:2….It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.

Even just seeing one of these a day is good medicine in a world that is full of too much bad news & pointless postings. If you have some feel-good stories or videos, please share them with me.

I’ve been under the radar a bit lately; lack of access to reliable internet, my soul was hibernating a bit, reading more, researching and studying more, pulling back in a new, different way. “Being” more instead of “doing”…..I was fully observing AK, summer 2025 and rather than write about everything, I was determined to experience it first hand without interrupting it to chronicle it; few pictures, no new blog pages, no entries. Wanted the raw & real firsthand, exhilarating sensory input. Rather than fumble for my phone for taking pictures of breaching whales and actually miss the fleeting, beautiful moment, I just stood there and took it all in. Rather than document the funny harbor seals, I just sat and stared at their antics for minutes until they disappeared & swam away. Rather than try to take a video that would not do them justice, I stood and marveled at the majestic eagles this year, I followed their flight paths & loops longer and tattooed it all in my soul for reflection. Rather than drop my phone into the great Deep or unsatisfactorily press the record button capturing the teeming ocean, the waves, the misty, clustering bubble feeding marvels to keep and watch later, I lingered longer, eyes glued to the graceful dance of those creatures. I leaned in to my own moments more and simply lived them, and they became more a part of me in a delightfully satisfying way. Full soul, full heart, full eye gates.

But I have missed writing and the inspired moments from life and God captured here in previous seasons. So I am back with new hope of topics, observations, thoughts and personal heart expressions I feel worth sharing.

I had never heard about Thin Places until recently reading another person’s blog, and it immediately resonated with me spiritually. I suppose they are different for everyone but I have definitely experienced some and they are amazing places. I experience God’s sacred Presence, comfort & safety there, along with an equal amount of pleasant suspense, wonder & validation of a world beyond earth. It’s different from the daily Presence of God I have come to know deeply. The veil is very thin between this world & the next.

Kremer Kove is one of those places for me. As soon as we round the corner of the open ocean into the long arm bay, it begins. It is a gradual unfolding, a thinning of any sense of hectic or crowded or too busy; a closing in of such unique & special space & a closing out of distracting, unimportant things; a sharpening of senses that allows me to fully experience palpable Peace and Awe of my Creator in a Place. It is a set-aside location that is different from experiencing God wherever I am in my daily, which is amazing; yet this wafer-thin place is a short footstep away to being engulfed in a bubble of connection with God that is almost beyond being able to explain with my words. Nearest I can liken it to is when I watched Jim Carrey step through the artificial “sky” in the scene when he realizes his world is a movie set & all fake. It’s all that close. The one step. What I love about my Kremer Kove wafer-thin place is that it is a not fake disappointment as in the Truman Show; it is more real than the best hope of amazingness that I could conjure up in my mind & the easy and unforced, yet stronger than the strongest tensile strength connection I have with my Thin Place is for me a gift & unexpected God-Kiss for which I will always be so very grateful. It never grows old for me, it always has such a wow-God factor that He has seen fit to allow such a beautiful, heavenly place for me on earth. The experience is what I liken to a fancy dinner presentation by a white-gloved person slowly lifting an ornate dome from an exquisite tray to reveal majesty & perfection.

Historically, thin places can be marked by memorials or markings of some sort depicting holy ground or a location where something very meaningful has happened. Such as stacking of stones in the Old Testament or walls of remembrance throughout history. When I see old stone cabins, old shacks, remains of a farm & lives having been there, I’ve often been drawn to wonder what is their story, what happened there, what is the connection to the people & that which they made with their heart & hands, their thin place perhaps? The remnants of a special place still seems to resonate.

Where might your thin place be? It’s worth exploring!
