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

It is a new day. Thanks to the heavens we get to begin again each new day as a gift. It is Saturday and 2 weeks since my first weekly injection with WW and I’m down 8 pounds. Some of you might say that seems like a lot, but there is a lot to go, and it may very well be mostly water. It is a scientific project for me; it’s not just calories, but a mixture of foods that WW has put together. My biggest habits that I have changed are eating quite a bit more protein and our 3

Happy Easter and to a New Life going forward.

I found the moon last night in the SE skies in Western Washington. We received our controller for our drone camera, so we worked on that tonight. Prior to that, we were using the sensors only to control it. It is quite powerful and doesn’t have an SD card. You attach directly to the drone to download footage. It is a drone we can take anywhere with us and meets FAA standards. We have a video short on our website Dswh33360Journey.com with the initial footage we acquired.

Revisiting a video from a year ago. It is on our website Dswh33360Journey.com . Our tulips came early this year. Happy April 1st. (April Fool's Day Holiday) My Mother loved this date when she was alive. One time my Mother put a napkin in my Dad’s sandwich. The ladies at my Dad’s work thought it was funny. We have rain this morning and we’re taking a little time off today from the gym to rest today. We will go back tomorrow morning. I’m finally losing some weight 😂. It’s midw

I started this post on my phone and immediately lost it. Possibly the heavens hitting the delete key. The video below is of a day moon near my home yesterday afternoon. I never get tired of seeing it. I’ve successfully given myself my first injection of my weight loss medication; me the person who doesn’t look when I have blood taken from my arm or who doesn’t look when I get a shot. I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right because I didn’t feel the pain of it going into my abd

I found the moon at the top of the sky at 9pm. We thought we lost it for a couple days and it was just peaking when we were asleep. I woke up and looked for it at night. It looks like it is paired with a planet to the right; Venus perhaps. I need a telephoto lens for my phone 😂. We are looking forward to the arrival of our drone. We researched them over a few weeks until we found one that seems durable, meets FAA standards, has a reasonable camera for the money, and is o

“If you are unwilling to taste failure, there’s no way on earth you can taste the sweet fruits of your true potential.” Price Pritchett, Ph.D. Interesting read. Life is short and when the end of my life comes, I plan to have a smile on my face to meet my creator. There’s an ancient story about an Owner that gives money to three different workers. He gave a large sum to a worker who had much skill, he gave a medium sum to someone who had medium skill and he gave a small

What the glorious winter sun looks like to a Western Washingtonian. It’s big beautiful and bold and comes out like a golden prince riding a chariot across the sky. It has been flooding here so the sun is a welcome site. Today I will do inside things in the morning. Studying my math for the upcoming final. I study math as if people’s lives depend on it because one day it could be connected to what I tell people about the weather. Years ago when I was a radio disc jockey, part

The memorial season is coming. Easter is the season of my mother’s passing in 2019. It’s been 7 years and so much has changed. When a person passes away, there is never an end to the memorial; it always stays with you. Spring is a beautiful renewal, but it is also bittersweet for me and my family because of this. This morning I have 2 meetings. One for myself before work and one to help my husband during a break from work for a few minutes. The meeting before work is a coachi

A moment to breathe in the blossoms. It’s important to take a moment in to see creation and creatures. Sometimes we go so fast, we don’t hear ourselves breathing, and we just need a moment to think, breathe, rest, ponder from our head to our toes. The stress can wait, the clenched body can wait, the racing thoughts can wait; just a moment of relaxation and deep breaths until you find yourself again. The schedule can change slightly today. Maybe I just need to listen to my fa
