We slept this morning. We are a little disoriented from it. I’m enjoying the first cup of coffee. I need the energy. We’ve decided to go on the East side of the Cascades soon. It will be an early morning trip, and we will make it to a different lake on the way there and take a little video footage. Ooh thank God for morning coffee. 😂 I’ve been losing more weight, but it’s been like pulling teeth as the old saying goes. It’s been two days that I have been eating less points o

On August 12, 2026, in Western Washington, we will have a planet parade in the N Eastern skies right before sunrise and we will have a solar eclipse in early afternoon. It is a special day. The late night of August 12th, the Perseid Meteor shower is at its height. I’ll try to get drone footage as much as possible. There may be clouds in our part of the state. I’m contemplating writings from Price Pritchett, Ph.D., and Coach Micheal Burt this morning. Any action towards your d

Enjoy the first cup of coffee with me today. I’m contemplating belief and faith in the unseen; perhaps things that are only seen with our heart’s eyes; or the eyes of our heart, soul, mind and strength. The forward motion of strength, the agreement of the spirit, the forward vision of the mind, and the passion of the heart. Before I was a singer and musician, I was a painter and artist; I transitioned from those to someone who wants to capture visual beauty on film or video.

The video is of the beautiful moon last night in Western Washington. I couldn’t sleep last night, and I just wanted to stay awake. There is an ancient writing that says living life is like being an athlete that presses on to win a prize. We need to press on in our heart, soul, mind, and strength to pursue these as if we are athletes in all areas. Similar to the books that Coach Micheal Burt has written, we need to challenge the heart, soul, mind, and strength for growth. F

I would love to hear from you. I explain how, near the bottom of my writing today. Revisiting a video of Riffe Lake and Mossy Rock Dam from a year ago; I’m sitting in my comfy chair in my office that we couldn’t part with. This Friday and Saturday were R&R days. We didn’t get much done but played like kids. I need to be an adult for the next month and a half again. I read an ancient writing in Hebrews 11 and it talks about having faith in the unseen with our eyes. Sometimes w

The video below is a bit after sunrise yesterday. My husband is going to fish this morning at a lake we previously had video from our website Dswh33360Journey.com; Lake Aberdeen on the Western Washington coast. I’m heading to the salon this morning then updating my driver’s license at my later licensing appointment. It’s due this year for a new photo. I felt my interview went well with the farm yesterday and I have an interview with the television station on Thursday. I’m lif

Three years ago, was such a long time ago. I was nearing a kind of early retirement and had everything that some people wish they had, but I had lost my passion for living. I thought I had experienced everything and had opportunities that many could only dream of and early retirement wasn’t the place I wanted to be. I was watching a show called Twilight Live on The Weather Channel in the early morning hours every morning while I emailed my friends. The soothing meditation mus

Happy 4th of July and Happy 250 years! I love the moon in the morning. It is very special when we get to see it in Western Washington. I’ve been quiet for the past 2 days and have been very busy. I have a new book I am reading from Coach Micheal Burt. It is called, “Screw Your Why”. It is intellectual with references from many people. I will need to read it again. My story is taking some interesting turns. I may be going to school close to full time for the summer while stil

Revisiting a video from a year ago from Lake Mattoon on the East Side of the Cascades in Washington state. Washington state is good about checking on licensing for harvesting resources which we had our licenses. It’s always very exciting to meet our Washington state fish and game wildlife department service members. Today we are going to the gym a little later in the day today. I don’t have any appointments today, so our time is a bit more flexible. Tomorrow, I have a morn

These blue mountains are what we see in a clearing on the 4-mile gravel road back and forth from Lost Lake in the Cascades in Washington state. We made it to Friday. I will edit our Lost Lake video soon for our website Dswh33360Journey.com and our YouTube Channel @dswh33360 My Journey. We’re heading to the gym a little later this morning and I have a short introduction interview at 9 this morning after I wash my hair. I’ve been kept very busy with job hunting, required mee

A morning moon on an unusually sunny morning in Western Washington. We have a collection of a few days without clouds coming up. I have two job possibilities on the horizon. A position that a previous supervisor gave me a referral to, and another that is a local emergency call center. Both look attractive to me for different reasons. Of course, I’m always interested in camera and television work if it arises, but for now we will continue to shoot video for my website Dswh3

The winds of change are in the air in more ways than one. We drove by an explosion from the top of a telephone pole. If we had not seen the smoke from it we would have thought it was a gun shot. Power also went out in places in our neighborhood. I’ve been applying and having meetings with community organizations and with college leaders, researching and finding a good path for my future. I’m still gathering information, but really it is only day 5 after my company closed i

We had a hidden moon this morning. I’ll look again in a little bit. This morning we are deciding what we’re doing this morning. We’ll start with a workout and then cleaning up. I will work on making contacts for insurance, follow up on getting information about full time school and looking for work. I had a second interview yesterday for a part time video streaming position. I also applied to a local radio station who is looking for a full-time video person. I am planting see

Hello, I wanted to talk about turning corners today. I have been ill for a few days and with rest vitamins and water I feel my body is turning the corner to healing. I liked this video because it was of turning a corner and it is rather beautiful. It happens quickly yet leaves a lasting impression. How many of us have turned corners or made an about face and what kind of significance did it have In our lives? Maybe turning away from something bad to turning to something good

Revisiting these roses from a year ago; so beautiful. Mother’s Day is this Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day to all those who are Mothers. My mother had some dreams for herself to the very last week she was alive and a few of those dreams I have for myself also. It is not too much to say that our mothers also have dreams for us and if they coincide with what we are doing, we try to do them in our lives as well. My mother always wanted good health for herself and all of us. She

This was the full moon yesterday right after our workout. I’ve been goofing off the past 3 weeks with weight loss. I’ve lost a total of 12 pounds with my medical weight loss and started to get a little fearful. One video of me that weekend let me know I have nothing to be afraid of. I have a lot more to go. As I was giving myself my weekly injection this morning, I advocated to myself how serious this really is. My personal health and improvement is on the line. It is an i

I just finished Micheal Burt’s book “Coach in Life” just reflecting on the life coaches I have had whether they knew that’s what they were or not. This video was of the weather out in the parking lot after one of our early morning work outs. Remembering at one point in my life I had a workout Coach and that knowledge has stayed with me. I’ve had a spiritual coach, and a professional coach, an educational coach, a dietary coach, and music and dance coach to name a few. I’ve h

Listen. The morning songbirds are out in Western Washington. This is a video from last Sunday morning. My mother passed away 7 years ago this week. We will have breakfast together as a family and go visit her resting place together. I remember I had a dream after she was gone that we were having a picnic in a beautiful garden and she was lying back on a blanket and talking to me. She said, “remember the negatives”. In my dream I didn’t know she was gone, but when I saw my

Snoqualmie Pass, Washington state; we were there yesterday, getting some drone footage East side of the mountain. Pondering what I would like to do. Truly something that can only be done with a life that is blessed. I do want to continue school. I’m just on a rest break. I love what education does with my mind. I do have a BA degree in radio, television and film and an AAS in computer science. I want to pursue my Meteorology degree, and I may want to pursue a masters and

A beautiful sky in Western Washington yesterday while at work. I’ve been enjoying being lazy when I haven’t been working. I’m deciding in advance if I want to add 21 hours to my week for studying math on top of a 40-hour work week. My supervisor is really wonderful. She is encouraging, one who gives courage. She suggested breaking up the study time into some before and after my work. The study now is not something that can be distracted study; it needs to be immersive
