Good News Tuesday: Bee Vaccine, A Special Coat, and 99 + Stories from 2018
Bees, Bees, and more Bees…
The First Vaccine for Bees
Scientists at the University of Helsinki, Finland have developed a vaccine for bees. The vaccine called “PrimeBee” targets the deadly bee disease American foulbrood and can be delivered on a sugar patty. The vaccine is not yet available for sale, but I’m thankful researchers are working hard to save bees. You can read more in this article from NPR

A Special Coat for Zoey
Zoey lives in Michigan where the winters are very cold. Having cerebral palsy and being in a wheel chair made it hard for her to bundle up for recess. So Zoey’s mom invented a special coat. I hope you enjoy meeting Zoey and learning more about her mom’s invention in this video.

UPDATES & BEST WISHES
Good Day my Angels! I pray all are well and getting ready for this 2018 Holiday Season. I can hardly believe it’s here – and so soon. Or at least it feels like it “so soon.”
I apologize for not being around lately as I have been setline in still here in our new area we call home within the great state of Texas. Our move from California to Texas has been eventful and interesting to say the least. Upon arrival in Texas we moved into a 200 square feet home (minimalists indeed) brining only what we needed and not what we wanted or any excess “stuff.” Most of our things we donated or sold so as to downsize immensely. There is no room within 200 square feet of space with two adult humans and our four (4) fur babies (kitties). While I find myself still adjusting the babies and there papa have adjusted very well and seem totally content. At times I am but I have to say it is not without its limitations living within a small space for me. At the present I remain in great Faith and Positivity that I am where I am supposed to be at this moment in time and am appreciative for all my Angels and every day that I get to wake up to the beautiful faces of my babies.
Christmas – New Years – Seriously!
I am SO NOT READY and cannot get into the spirit of the Holidays. I have no décor up or bought anything as of yet. We are so minimal and truly do not “need” anything and our wants would be just stuff to clutter up our tiny space. So, anything we buy or bring into our space another item ahs to go in which to conserve the space. Hmm…. we’ll see as I sit here thinking about what to do. A Charlie Brown tree for sure is in my future and gifts for our babies. How about you Angels – are you ready for the Holidays? What are your plans? I am, however, looking forward to a New Year and New You attitude! I am excited about that and all the possibilities that come along with it. How about you?
Life is precious and a gift no matter where you stand at this moment in time and space. Be grateful my Angels for every breath you take and the lives around you.
I wish you ALL a very Happy and Safe Holiday Season and look forward to an amazing 2019.
Always with much Light and Love!

Angels Landing—a challenge I didn’t try

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
It’s that narrow path along the rocks again! Glad I didn’t try. Photo by Fiona Haddy
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…

“A Different Kind of Angel” by Paulette Mahurin
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…

The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (佛牙寺龙华院）
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.
Brief History
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…
