As Canada Day, 2014 has receded into our maple leaf memories, rising up to greet us a few days later is the 4th of July!

The “4th of July” is also known as, “Independence Day”; in 1776, the United States affirmed its independence from (then, “Great Britain”) the United Kingdom.  The thirteen colonies who were then at war with Britain, considered themselves each an independent sovereign state, and no longer part of Britain.  They formed a new nation which we now know as the United States of America.

I am so incredibly blessed to have connections in both the US and Canada.  To me, each country has its own unique and undeniably commendable features; I love both countries!

I don’t think there are too many people who can even fathom the 4th of July without fireworks! Ah, fireworks and lots of them! To celebrate this fine…

I was just about to write about two Endangered Birds this morning,  when this came in my email.

The Birds can wait until tomorrow,  this is much more important to me and millions of others around the world.

First let me say, that I have felt this way since the 60’s, when I lived in L.A., long before it was fashionable to do so.

It was the time of flower children, free love, inspirational speeches and thinking, yes some of it was quite radical as well, and also sadly, way too many really bad drugs.

It was more importantly, a time of a different kind of attitude toward others.

Did the Viet Nam War/Conflict have anything to do with this, probably.

We were all so very young and so very scared.

We had a common bond,  a mantra,  ” trust no one over 30.”

We were…

How to Stop a Foreclosure

Or Get a Cash Settlement Following Foreclosure

In 2014 most home foreclosures can be stopped, through a myriad of federal and state programs that have sprung up. Given that hundreds of thousands of families continue to lose their homes every month, it’s really sad how few Americans are aware of these programs. Clearly Wall Street banks and the corporate media don’t want struggling families to know about them.

Fix My Payment (www.fixmypayment.com) is a free website and advisory service for homeowners who have lost homes to foreclosure or who are currently struggling with mortgage payments.

You know that feeling…

but don’t know what is it in real…

but you don’t know why is it in your brainy sphere…

but you don’t know for how long that thought would exist…

but you don’t know whether in real the feeling persist…

but you know its there….

and you know its presence is boiling inside…

and the fragrance of the vapours is enough to keep your life warm forever…….
