At times : It never rains but it pours.... ( proverb)

 Not much sun today in old Urunga town... I managed to get a time bit of sunshine on the dawn horizon.

This morning down the coast a short way flash flooding occurred in Port Macquarie as a storm cell dumped inches of rain on the area.

I have just returned from being up the coast with the girls having fun and seeing sights for fun and photographing all of them.  Cathy and Ana and Jew and I had so many laughs it was surely good for our souls.  It was hilarious trying to understand each other again.   Thai isn't easy and spanish is fun.  I come home speaking like a mix of all of these.  

The trip was marred with some sadness as we recalled again our many great stories of our dear departed friend Texsy who was tragically run over while walking home late last year in 2011.   We shed tears and laughed for her.  We said on more than one occasion that we felt she was there with us. 

I love Jew, I love the tenacity that this woman has.  I love Ana, she is someone to look up to as she is wise and beautiful in her spirit.  Cathy and I took the trip for fun, we couldn't help but think how much it was like old times when we used to trip around NSW with  my job with Koala Publishing.

The entire trip was filled with the effects of the butterfly once more.

Crystals are commonly used in alternative health practices. Learn which ones are most popular for healing emotional issues involving the heart.

Healing the heart, whether from heartbreak or painful memories, is one of the top reasons for using crystal therapy.

Pink tourmaline: This stone brings a more loving character to the user. It opens the heart chakra to allow healing and love where it has been consciously or unconsciously blocked in the past.

Rhodochrosite: Rhodochrosite encourages harmony with various aspects of the personality and calms emotions. It balances masculine and feminine energy in the user and environment

Rhodonite: Rhodonite is a stone of unconditional love and helps to draw negativity out of the heart chakra. It helps the user to reach their highest aspirations.

Rose quartz: Rose quartz is known as the all-purpose love stone including romantic love, family, friendship and self love. It has a gentle character, and healers will often use this in conjunction with aventurine since their energies complement each other. This stone has a mothering quality and is useful in healing past physical and emotional trauma perpetrated by people in positions of trust.

Strawberry quartz: This stone stimulates the heart chakra, increasing the feeling of love. It helps bring focus to living in the present instead of holding onto the idea of past love relationships that turned toxic.

 Meditating with crystals placed directly on the area of the heart chakra in order to attract their properties is one of the most common uses of heart stones. Crystal pendants can be worn to carry the property of the stone throughout the day. Rose quartz is often placed in the corners of a room to increase harmony and loving expression in the environment. Gem elixirs can be made with the crystals which are then taken internally for emotional issues related to the heart.

 PINK PEACH BLOSSOM

The peach tree (Prunus persica) is a species of Prunus native to China that bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach.

For thirty years I have looked for a swordmaster.
Many times leaves fell, new ones sprouted.
One glimpse of peach blossoms -
now no more doubts, just this.
-   Lingyun Zhiqin's enlightenment poem, as retold by Zen Master Dogen

Blossoms are either pink or white depending on the species or variety. Peach (including nectarine) blossoms, most cherry blossoms, and some almond blossoms are usually pink. Plum blossoms, apple blossoms, orange blossoms, some cherry blossoms, and most almond blossoms are white.

Pink Trivia:  The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose energy.

eight = ocho (och-o) in Spanish

Wish on everything... Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.

Code Pink was founded on October 2, 2002 by women activists including Jodie Evans and Medea Benjamin. Soon after its inception, Code Pink launched a four-month vigil in front of the White House, beginning in November and culminating on March 8, International Women's Day, with a 10,000-person march.

The name "Code Pink" is a play on the United States Department of Homeland Security's color-coded alert system in which, for example, Code Orange and Code Red signify the highest levels of danger

Roseus is a Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink."

Pink Hibiscus ... so beautiful and always reminding us of places tropical romantic and far away.  Guess what?  I am in fact there.  I am in my own tropical paradise and romance is the order of the day each day!  I feel so far away that really we could be anywhere in the world.

Pink is a mixture of red and white. Commonly used for Valentine's Day and Easter, pink is sometimes referred to as "the color of love." The use of the word for the color known today as pink was first recorded in the late 17th century.
