Every now and then my common sense kicks in! Recently it was helped along by a hip that was complaining bitterly (recovered now).
This all happened in Zion National Park when I decided NOT to tackle the 2.5-mile, 5-hour hike to Angels Landing. I mean, seriously, what business did I have scaling a ‘mountain’ that rises almost 1500 feet and includes more than 20 steep, treacherous switchbacks?
See that narrow ledge (in the shadow) that runs along the cliff? That’s the walk to Angels Landing. Photo by Victoria Herman

The trail, cut into solid rock in 1926, has an especially challenging last half mile. According to one website, that section of the trail is ‘strenuous and lined with numerous sharp drop…

I’m delighted to finally prewsent my own review of this marvellous book. I am a big fan of Paulette who has been on my blog plenty of times and yet, not often enough.
A different kind of Angel
by Paulette Mahurin
is particularly powerful as it is based on a true story. When a brave female journalist infiltrates a women’s asylum in 1887 she finds shocking malpractice and saves the lives of endless women who have been wrongfully institutionalized.
On the way Mahurin details the lives of several ‘inmates’, for many of whom the asylum was the culmination of already horrific lives. The main protagonist being a Jewish woman from Russia who was the sole survivor of her family of the Russian pogrom.
Told in dramatic voice and an affecting manner this is a gripping read that teaches much about history, humanity and the strength of the human spirit. Another…

Hebrews 13:2 – Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it
Angels among us
Divine guardians
Servants of the Most High
My heart not hardened
My mind not clouded
Kindness in hand
Love for all
I am a stranger and pilgrim
On this Earth

The dancing angels in the sky,
A heart so hurt could never lie,
A love so true can’t say goodbye
When all was meant for you and I!
The dancing angels spoke to me:
Just let him go, just set him free!
Time is a healer, you will see,
And you’re no good, don’t you agree?
Oh, dancing angels, yes! I know!
For I’m a wreck, nothing to show,
A broken soul that cannot glow,
So…for his happiness, I’ll go…
Please pray for me, as years go by,
I want your eyes to never cry
A single tear for you and I…
For you are loved beyond goodbye!
Beyond the highest starry sky…
The dancing angels called my name
My wild, lost soul, they want to tame!
And I refused, in tears of shame,
‘Cause Paradise isn’t the same!
without you…
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is located along South Bridge Road making it one of the four religious buildings along the same stretch of road, defining once again how multicultural Singapore can be. When it was completed in year 2007, it costs more than SGD $62 million mostly by private donations from many sponsors.
The BTRT is one of the most popular attraction within Chinatown largely possibly due to the rich architecture of Tang dynasty style and possibly due to it’s bright (and Gold!) laden designed interior.
Now a relic is defined as “a part of a deceased holy person’s body or belongings kept as an object of reverence.” The “specific Buddha tooth relic” that drives the name of this temple was discovered by Venerable Cakkapala from a collapsed stupa in Myanmar back in the 1980s. Before his death, Venerable Cakkapala passed the tooth to a Venerable Shi…

This week’s book isPride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Yes, we are looking at a classic today. At first, I thought I wouldn’t even review this book, I have been on a classic novel reading streak lately but I didn’t know what else I could add to any review that has ever been done on this book.
Then, I realized, I can add the perspective of a psychic. How about this – what if all the characters in this book could actually read each other’s auras. What if they could tell what another person’s character was like based on what their aura colors revealed. Now, that would change the entire social dynamic of this book – and the world as we know it.
Most of the drama that comes from this book is from people not telling the truth or not just stating how they feel. There is way…
