Your Higher Power #3

Jennifred Jones

Who is your higher power?

Are we allowed to ask or is it too personal? Are we related to our higher power in some way?

Why was your particular higher power chosen for you instead of what someone else has?

  • Is your higher power strong enough for you?
  • Does it meet your needs and expectations?
  • Can you rely on it and tell it your deepest darkest …?
  • Will it turn against you if you don’t ‘do what you’re supposed to’?
  • Is your power alive or inanimate?

‘Look, lady! Why are you asking me all these stupid questions??? Let me figure it out!’

Different higher powers:

  • Nature
  • Birds
  • Rocks
  • Sky
  • Mountains
  • Psychiatrist
  • Doctor
  • Yoga
  • Statue
  • Totem Pole
  • Lake
  • Food
  • Breath work
  • Exercise
  • Universe

Is yours listed here? What is it? Where is it? Can you get to it when you need it?

…no more questions.

Rock Hound #2

Way back in October 2020 we were talking about rocks….still talking…

A good friend likes rocks even more than me! She had a birthday a few weeks back…what would she like for her birthday?

I remembered the piece of petrified wood found years ago at the Goodwill! and a smooth black stone from the Baltic sea…also from some years back. What a fun goofy birthday gift to give her. It was so fun to watch her open the present. They were wrapped in a paper bag 🙂 She loved them!

She told me the story of her husband finding a large rock with a stripe around the middle (reminded me of the Hampshire pig). Found in a farmer’s field they got a back hoe and delivered it to corner of her house where it is today!

How crazy is this affinity for a stone! We each talked of driving down the road and seeing a rock on someone else’s property and wanting it! I guess you can covet about anything!!

Well, we learned to keep driving and work with our own rocks.

For a ‘going away’ present, she gave me a beautiful smooth stone painted with colorful designs and hearts all over it!!! I just love it!!!

Often the most appreciated/loved things cost the least…just the thoughtfulness of taking time to learn what other people like and help them find it.

Life like this is so good!

What do you like? What do your friends like?

Can you give them some good?

That’s me! Always was, still is…

Ever since I was little, rocks and pebbles caught my attention. My brother and I made pottery dishes from river basin mud, and the pebbles were peas and rice for our pretend supper, I even swallowed a couple of those ‘peas’.

My favorite days were rainy days, mom let me put my boots on and take my umbrella and wander around our large gravel driveway, peering into puddles at every interesting rock color and shape (I guess I looked like the Morton salt girl), but I loved and collected those gems!

My 4-H rock collection display won a ribbon, but one rock fell off… it was too heavy. I kept that collection for years!

Grown-up me is still collecting rocks, edging every garden with them; our youngest son learned how to count in kindergarten, by helping count the rocks his two older brothers helped me gather and put in place.

Currently, rocks scallop around my sedum plants, and are randomly tossed in the garden with other fun stuff. Rocks and plants go together.

Now I’m placing them in small succulent planters for indoor use.

I love rocks!
