As you can see.....Senior Portraits have come a long way.
I like to get to know a little about you so we can create the senior pictures you've dreamed of. We'll talk about your style and your dream locations to come up with a plan for your perfect photo session. I only take on limited number of sessions each month, so I'm able to give you a completely customized experience that meets your vision. You're only a high school senior once and it's my goal to make sure your pictures are just as amazing as you are.
We moved to Madison in 2006, and I established my business in 2007. Besides my crazy family, I love my Mac, my camera, and locations with texture and character.
Thank you for stopping by to take a peek at my work!

clean act up
clean (one's) act up
To improve one's behavior. After I got in yet another fight at school, the headmaster told me that I had to clean my act up or else I'd be expelled.
clean one's act up
to reform one's conduct; to improve one's performance. We were told to clean our act up or move out. I cleaned up my act, but not in time. I got kicked out.

Red Flowers Abstract Print by figstreetstudio
Browse for more at my gallery page
I've been working on still life's. Abstract flowers in colorful paintings caught my eye. I do not buy prints but create them myself using famous still life's to inspire me. I did a few kitchen items but the flowers seem more interesting. I like Matisse style and those that followed him too. Some not so well known and others like Picasso who had a sort of competition with Matisse. I will continue to create them and post them in my gallery on the web.
This abstract is so tropical, it reminds me of Hawaii or any island place. I stayed in the Virgin Islands one summer. This design takes me back there and was inspired by some curtains Matisse had in a painting.

As many of you are already aware, The Wonder Years complete series is coming to DVD this fall thanks to StarVista Entertainment and Time Life, which — as of this morning — can be pre-ordered here. In addition to retaining virtually all of the original music of the series, as I've mentioned before, the set will also come with a ton of bonus features.
One such bonus feature that Time Life has exclusively provided to UPROXX reunites Fred Savage, Danica McKellar, and Josh Saviano to attempt to answer the question: Did Kevin and Winnie really "do it" in that barn in the series finale? No offense to Josh Saviano, but I don't know why Paul gets a say in this. Although Paul technically did lose his virginity before Kevin, so actually — sure, let's let him weigh in.
Unfortunately, the answer is frustratingly a non-answer, but if I had to decide for myself then I'd say: Yep, totally boned. What does everyone else think?

The Harm of Parabens
Concerns continue to grow over the possible health effects related to parabens that are found in many cosmetics and personal care products. This group of chemicals, called parabens, are favored by manufacturers as cheap and effective preservatives that hamper the growth of bacteria and fungi. These preservatives have enabled products to be shipped for thousands of miles and to be stored for years at a time.
Over the past few years, several studies have shown that parabens will mimic the effects of estrogen in the body, a concern since breast cancer has been linked to high levels of estrogen. Tellingly, parabens have also been detected within breast tumors. Recent studies have also detected parabens in other parts of the body too, this is because the chemicals can pass through the skin when used in personal care products such as cosmetics, shampoos or skin creams. A recent Danish study found that when a paraben cream was spread on the backs of healthy men, the substance showed up in their blood samples within hours.
"This demonstrates that parabens do indeed penetrate the human skin from cosmetic products," said Philippa Darbre, a researcher from the University of Reading, England. Darbre led a 2004 study which found parabens in 18 of 20 samples taken from human breast tumors. The study was the first to detect the chemical in the body's tissues, but could not prove whether the parabens had caused the cancer or even how they had entered the body.
"I think that there is no doubt that parabens do get into the human body intact, something that was previously dismissed as impossible and this is why our study was so controversial," Darbre said. She concedes that there is no proof yet that parabens cause cancer, and warns that other ingredients may be as just as bad or worse. To be safe, she recommends avoiding using personal care products that contain parabens around the arm and breast.
The parabens listed below are weak environmental estrogens. They also can support the growth of estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells grown in tissue culture according to studies.
- Butylparaben
- Isobutylparaben
- Ethylparaben
- Methylparaben
- Propylparaben
Non-toxic alternatives
A few suggestions– Don't use anti-antiperspirants in general because they block the body's ability to sweat and release toxins which is a necessary function. Look instead for non-toxic deodorants which don't contain parabens, aluminum or other toxic ingredients.
If cost is an issue: sometimes it does cost more to purchase the healthier products at a health food store, so you could try making your own deodorant. Here is a simple and inexpensive recipe that works great~
Natural deodorant: mix baking soda with unrefined coconut oil until you form a smooth paste, add a few drops of essential oils such as lavender, or other depending on your scent preference. Store in a cosmetic tin and apply with fingertips or refill an old stick deodorant container for easy application.
Homemade body cream: Mix 1 tsp of vitamin E oil with 1 cup unrefined coconut oil, then add a few drops of essential oils for a scent. Whip with a mixer until light and creamy. This makes a rich body butter.
Look for paraben- free personal products: such as lotions, shampoos, conditioners and facial products. Realize that whatever you are putting on your skin is also going to be absorbed into the body, now is he time to begin looking for non-toxic alternatives.

Testimonials + Client Love
"This was like reading something I wrote about me – especially you Jen – you know I have MAD too!
Last week's smack down for the closet was awesome and I have another one scheduled for this week to finish it up…..THEN….DUNT DUNT DUUUUUN! my craft office….I probably have $8000 in equipment I will never use. Not to mention supplies for stained glass, candle making, etc. I took a deep breath last week and decided what was really important and was there one thing I did consistently in that office. Yes – I work with Copal Amber – I don't need $8000 in lapidary equipment to work on it. So all but the very necessary for that one creative outlet are going. After the closet smack down is done I'll post pics – then I'm getting in the office and getting the junk out – plus I'm SELLING IT ALL – couldn't come at a better time. So – it's all getting cleaned up – photo'd and sold. I need the $$$ more that I need the clutter.
I can't tell you how aptly timed this course is! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!"

"Hi Jen! I just wanted to thank you for all the support you've been giving me on the forum. Your words and advice and energy and understanding really stand out to me. I really feel like you get what I'm struggling with and your advice is spot on. Thank you, you are an awesome coach."
Hilary McLean
Crestline, CA
"I was really excited about doing this class. You know I love artsy stuff. The lesson I am not sure of. Maybe to let go and let it happen. I like parts of my mandala, just like I like parts of my life… I am addicted! You should have warned me! I love the way it makes my head go quiet. I love that so much."
Nancy Seay
Clarksville, TN
"I had the pleasure of attending one of Jennifer's ceremonies, releasing and declaring intentions. She is such a welcoming presence, light and bright. Immediately I felt comfortable with her and found it very easy to open spiritually in her presence. She is a wonderful facilitator. I have since been the beneficiary of her advice on an intuitive coaching level. I have found her advice and guidance to be quite valuable. I trust Jennifer."
Tracee Sioux
Year of YES!
"I just wanted to let you know that the Moon Wishing process I've learned from your course has been awesome. Thanks for offering the class. I have felt a lot of benefit in tracking my goals and 'wishing' in this manner. I've been telling my friends, family and clients about it. I will keep you posted after the full moon this week!"
– K.M., Brentwood, TN
"Thank you again for your class on meeting your spirit guides a few months ago. Since your class, I have met and gotten to know one of my spirit guides in particular. Interesting that she is an ancestor of mine, which makes sense as during the meditation we shared together, I saw a symbol that represented my birthplace. It took some practice and time, but we soon got to meet each other after your class! And now she is an integrated part of my life. It's very special indeed."
K.M., Brentwood, TN
"My intention at the fire ceremony was to connect with the love and support of the group to help me find the courage to be my authentic self. What I hadn't realized was the effect that my energy could have on others. I am humbled beyond words to know that what I do matters and what a sacred responsibility I have when I connect with others.
Jen helped me go deeper than I thought was possible and to own who I am in all its beauty and terror. It is a wild journey and I plan to hang on as I learn to live life with my eyes and heart wide open."

"I truly believe my work with you has been instrumental in my being able to accept all that has come my way and to move through it all in a positive light. I held a strong vision of the perfect buyer seeing the house and being able to buy the house. The final price was exactly what I expected (maybe I should have set my sights on a higher value)."

"I've been working with Jen and the work we are doing is changing my life. When we started working together, I wanted to learn more about Law of Attraction, meditation, and manifestation. I didn't know what to be looking for or how to go about learning. I felt I was getting in my own way and I was starting to understand there were other options. I have always lived my life in a reactive way. Now I want to be aware and create a life that I choose. Jen gave me gentle guidance and homework to practice each lesson. The exercises have opened my eyes and my heart. I have learned to be present in my body when making a decision. I am feeling more centered. I am experiencing more joy. I feel less overwhelm. I am more confident. Thank you, Jen."

"When I started working with Jen, I was just coming from a break up with someone very close to me and having a very difficult time wrapping my mind and emotions around the fact that I had lost a close friend, my home, my sense of freedom and my self worth. I was literally just existing day by day and going through the motions of what was required to survive. My primary concerns were making everyone around me happy and making sure that their needs and wants and even dreams at times were being met while putting my own on a shelf. Depression doesn't even begin to explain. I was more than just down, I was lost and confused.
After beginning to work with Jen I was still not willing to completely open myself and my mind to the possibility of change and happiness that she spoke of during our initial talks. After a slow process on my part, I began to take Jen's wisdom and counsel to heart and apply some practices. Within months things were changing. I was changing! One by one and little by little everything we talked about and all of the things she gave her counsel and wisdom on; all started to materialize. I made necessary changes to my attitude and my life to make things be the way that I had dreamed they could and should be! Everything from personal bad habits to my career changed. I began to be willing to receive, be grateful, and be willing to accept things that weren't in my control and how I reacted to things.
This has been a truly wonderful experience and time of growth. I thank Jen and look forward to continue working with her and sharing my good fortunes and changes! I am living proof that things can always change. I am so grateful to Jen for planting the seeds of wisdom and growth. Showing that even when things aren't perfect, that it's just a bump in a much longer and glorious road that has so much more to offer and learn from!"
From a place of gratitude and love,

"After our long training day, Jen's group readings for women have been a great time. Getting a group of women to have a reading, conversation, and a drink is fascinating. It's a great way to help each person to see the bigger picture for herself and hold the space for a bigger reality for each other. I've loved being part of these readings. Can't wait for the next one! Thanks, Jen!!"

"Wow! The sense of relief after watching your video reading. I got up at 5 this morning to watch it before the house awoke. Love the reading!! It always amazes me how you hit the nail on the head every time (although I shouldn't be surprised – you are amazing!) It was just like Ahhh relief…profound relief."
Audrey Christie McLaughlin
Intuitive Marketing Genius
"…so much happened after that evening with your energy reading, that I had to write it all down!
I come from a devout Catholic background where participating in tarot card or energy readings is frowned upon. However, as I was walking in the hallway where this group of women were together, I stopped and was intrigued. I was drawn to the fact that all of these women were in a circle together enjoying each other's company. There was a part of me that was scared to join the group, but another part of me that wanted to explore.
It was an amazing experience to see women both young and older talking about deep things important to them. In the modern world, we have lost touch with talking about our deepest desires, dreams and struggles. This group setting was such an amazing experience to witness others and hearing what was going on in their heart. It was great to see the love and support of a circle of women guiding each other through their life's journeys.
My experience was then truly unique. I was drawn to have a reading. I pulled cards around Community and Family. I was told that I have an amazing support system and I have all the support that I need to move forward in my life. The stones and pillars were strong and there was abundance surrounding me. I was also told that I have a happy family and that my family is supportive of me.
All that was shared was so SPOT ON. I don't know anything about energy card readings, but this felt like it was such a message for me.
The next day in the retreat, we were guided through a meditation where we were carrying a heavy backpack and I could feel my body leaning over feeling so heavy and weighed down. When I opened up the backpack in my mind, I took out this big rock and on it was the word Abandonment. I was blown away and was in tears. I have been struggling in my life and my business because I am trying to do things all on my own. I was afraid to trust people and I carried the weight on my shoulders of having to do it all. Letting go of this boulder was a HUGE weight being lifted off my chest. But what was amazing was that it was so in line with the energy reading from the night before.
The message was clear. You are not alone. You have all the support you need to live out the dreams I have given to you. You have an amazing, loving, supporting family, you have your strong faith in God and you have this new awesome community of women to support you on your journey. Be Not Afraid. Wow!
Then the most amazing thing happened. My dad sent me an email with a bible quote for the day: "You will never be abandoned. You are not alone."
I dropped to tears. Here are three different healing modalities giving me the same guidance and direction. At that point I knew in my heart I was deeply connected to source and that God was showing me the many ways I could enter into communion with him.
Jen – Thank you for allowing me (a stranger) to join your circle of women. I really had no idea what I was getting into when I sat down, but am so glad that I did. Your reading helped set the stage for putting the rest of the pieces of the puzzle together for me. Each message from the Divine was different, but they all fed into the next one. If I didn't meet with you the night before the meditation, I am not sure if it would have had the same powerful impact. I think the work you do is amazing in helping women connect with the wisdom of their souls."

"I really enjoyed your class….I already made myself a mandala, which turned out quite different from the one in class. I feel that this class has opened up another healing art pathway for myself, and I am very grateful for that.
I really did not have any expectations of what the workshop was about. As I sat outside and waited I did have a vision of a Mandala that I thought I might draw, however I ended up doing something entirely different.
It brought back memories which opened up a place of bottled up grief. I started to tear up yet felt that I would disturb the women and so I stopped the process. Which then of course was frustrating. Nonetheless, I managed to continue to draw out the Rocky Rosy Road.
I feel this is very healing creative work for any woman, however I also feel that the space should be held for emotional expression because it does take one into the authentic self and that road contains, for most women today, emotional blocks that can open while doing this work.
The Mandala I made has taken me inwards a few times since the class. I use it in the evening, before going to sleep. I have also made another one and I see myself continuing this type of art work because of the vast yet simple healing nature of the art work.
I am very grateful I signed up for the class."
Star Ibis-Meigs
"What I liked about the reading was that it felt more like a conversation than a reading. It didn't feel too "woo woo" and I liked that.
In the reading, I got validation that the road I was going down is the right one. It felt good to be validated and the clarity I got gives me more confidence to move forward. I feel more certain about the path I'm on."
Nozomi Morgan
Executive Coach
"My second class with Jen was "What's a Mandala and Why Should I Draw One?… meditation for those who don't like meditation".
I took the class because although I do LIKE meditation, and I do meditate… I sometimes have a hard time making the time and staying focused. (don't we all?) I mean really… who actually feels they have the time to 'just sit and meditate'? I thought this might be a tool that would be useful so I'd give it a try – even though at that time I had no idea what a mandala even was.
Starting with a blank piece of paper with the intent of 'building up' seemed a little foreign to me in the meditation realm, as I always start with a mind full of 'stuff' and try to whittle things out of my mind. It felt a little backwards, but Jen thoughtfully guided me through the process, urging me to trust it.
As we began drawing our mandalas in silence, I felt the stillness I struggle to find in meditation arrived almost immediately. I felt connected to a power that was guiding my drawing and out of the process something absolutely beautiful was evolving. It was as though I was watching something being created – had no idea where it was going, what it would look like… no direction that I was guiding it to… no concept of the 'finished product'… it was just happening. (yeah, kind of like meditation is supposed to be!)
When we finished drawing and began adding color I had to learn to trust and not let my mind take control, and it was not easy. I would find myself reaching for a colored pencil and when I had it in my hand sometimes I would hear myself say "no! I can't put orange next to pink!" or "you seriously want to use THAT color?". It was in those moments Jen encouraged me not to think so much about the outcome, but to remain in the moment with the process. I have to say, the mandalas came out simply gorgeous and the colors were absolutely perfect.
Jen may not be aware of all I learned in that class… not just 'how to' draw mandalas, but how to come out of meditation with all the things we want when we go into it: clarity, trust in something or someone other than our own intellect, focus, serenity, freedom…. And a bonus! A beautiful drawing that is meaningful, memorable and truly a work from the heart.
Since my class, I have continued to draw mandalas frequently. Sometimes I still find it difficult to be motivated to 'sit and meditate', but if I start getting my drawing materials out I realize I am excited to 'draw and meditate'. I've framed many of the mandalas I've created and given them as gifts which have been very well received and appreciated.
I also recently had the good fortune to go to India (although for work) and was simply amazed at all the mandalas I saw at the temples! People draw or paint them on the sidewalks, courtyards, buildings. When I saw them, I felt instantly connected… I said "mandalas!". My Indian colleague asked, in surprise… 'how do you know about mandalas?'. I told him… 'I draw them… when I meditate'. Again, the surprised response… 'you draw mandalas AND meditate?'.
Thanks Jen, not only have I made a valuable spiritual connection through your class, I have made a cultural and career connection that I believe could not have happened any other way!"

"I totally enjoyed my reading. It was better than any other. Your method of relaxing us prior to the reading was very beneficial.
I know you thought that reading family could possibly interfere with spirit but…I think not… I loved having a family member, especially one who I love and respect as much as I do you, do a reading for me!
I know you know some aspects of my life, but not close enough in the daily groove to interfere with reading. I feel the pre-meditation prior to choosing cards was most beneficial. It allowed time for me to get to a positive vibration, and to take time to think on and prepare to receive from the reading what I most wanted to receive. It produced a good environment for spirit to provide the answers and direction I needed. The reading confirmed we are on the right track and has given me confidence to pursue the present direction.
Thank you for giving your time and reading the cards for me. I received so much and it blew my hair back the accuracy of the delivery. I got a double blessing: your gift and a beautiful niece!"

"…It is like the most amazing feeling to me that I've known so many of these folks and worked with them when I first started my life here, and now we all work together again. I can't believe how lucky I am! :) Remember when I used to say "I used to love my life. I don't even care now. I want to say I love my life again, and I can't even imagine saying that"… well finally, I LOVE MY LIFE once again! :)

"I had the pleasure of meeting Jen for the first time when she led a class on 'vision boards'.
I was at a point in my life where I was on my own, getting old enough to start thinking about retiring, just broke up with the man I felt was the love of my life and I really needed (and was open to) some direction in many areas. I'd been filling my life with work and activity but really had no clue as to where I was headed over the next few years or what I would do when it did come time to retire.
I had never been exposed to vision boards before, and told myself to blindly follow Jen's directions and see where it took me… We were given stacks of magazines and asked to clip anything that 'spoke to us'. I busily flipped through magazines clipping an array of images, splotches of colors, shapes… not trying to think of what they might mean, just concentrating on what spoke to me, what I was attracted to, what I really loved. This effort in itself was a major accomplishment because I'm rather used to being 'in control' and 'analytical'.
After we had our pile of clippings, we gathered them up and glued them on a board… again, not mentally structuring them but just letting them 'flow'. Somehow they naturally grouped together to show (in my mind) a very clear path from where I was, through the things I needed or wanted to do, right up to my ultimate goal. It was totally amazing, and there was not one inch of my board that wasn't covered. I must say, it ended up looking like a piece of art with all the overlaps and angles.
I was even more encouraged when I learned that just 'putting it out there', believing and being grateful for the outcome actually made it real. I was, and still am, totally amazed. I still look at my board occasionally and always smile… it's exactly the path I'm on, and it ends up exactly where I want to be!
Jen gently led us through a very powerful exercise and I am so grateful for her kind spirit and guiding light."

"When I had a reading with you I wanted to know something about my purpose. I have been wondering if I'm on the right path. The information that I got from you in the reading is that my past, present and future are all working together and that I need to express myself and connect with my authentic self. You also reminded me that my family is and always has been my support system. This has helped me to realize that my journey is and will continue to be magical.
Your reading gave me confirmation that I'm moving in the right direction. It helps me to know this so when I have a rough moment, I can remember this and keep going!
I felt very calm and connected to you during the reading. I felt it was very accurate and inspirational. You have a gift! And you are warm, inviting and compassionate. Thank you!"

I feel the information was very useful to me, it encourage me to continue doing what I'm doing and to believe in myself more, as well as to pay focus in certain aspects of my life that need attention, I feel that you were right on point and I have been taking measures to work on those aspects. Thank you!!"

"Here are our mandalas! I wanted to feel supported by God, the Universe, the Sun, Earth and Sea. I'm the star shining my light, of course.
Ainsley wants peace on Earth.
Zack wanted God and love and nature.
We did them on thrift store plates. We had never done mandalas before. Having interviewed Jen on Year of YES! Radio, I was surprised to learn that mandala drawing can be as effective for accessing and connecting with God as meditation. We often use art in our spiritual life, so this was a fun addition to our spiritual practice.
We'll keep these displayed in the kitchen all year to see what blessings they bring. Thanks, Jen! Your mandala class was wonderful!"

"Hi Jen!
Wow, these readings are so right on, I love it:)
For me, I read them eagerly the first time through. Then I let them sit (not really by design, I just let it go and may get sucked into whatever's going on), and then, when I go through it again, I get more nuggets of wisdom. And I'm now noticing, that even with readings from the month before, I'll go back and start to really get what they mean and how to implement tweaks into my life, or just have an aha, or many! That really help me get through, and continue moving forward. Like last month's reading is becoming more clear to me now. I didn't really know what I've been avoiding. I've been thinking about it a lot, and it just seemed like I was avoiding work. But I'm really getting that my avoidance (resistance to change from March reading) is really me avoiding feeling fear. We talk about feeling the fear and doing it anyway…well I haven't even gotten to the part of "doing it anyway" because I don't want to feel the fear. So I avoid – watch tv, eat something yummy. I really honed in on the fact that THAT was my resistance. So I'm backing up a step and focusing on allowing myself to feel the fear (and trust that I am ok). I even had a random thought/aha that I can choose to feel the fear and still be happy. That's where I am right now. And that's just fine.
And this months reading makes so much sense after I honed in on that. Because I know my next step forward after allowing myself to feel the fear is to celebrate my successes, focusing on what I'm grateful for and the abundance around me, which I know will lead to my moving forward more. And really, to acknowledge that I AM moving forward right now (another awesome aha:)
Thank you, this is definitely going in my gratitude journal:)"

"I have been using the magic of Moon Wishing from Jennifer for over a year now. My daughters and I never miss a new or full moon. We set goals and wishes and mark off when they manifest. We create beautiful framed art out of our wishes so that we can check off and be thankful when it manifests. We notice things manifesting faster when we use this method also, and it spills over and helps us get clear on what we really want."

"Jen's process for reading oracle cards is fun and relaxed. She keeps the mood light while helping you gain deep insights by interpreting your cards based on her intuition. By keeping things casual, she helps you feel safe as you receive the message you need. During the reading, I knew there was a message specifically meant for me, and that Jen was there to guide me through the process to understand it on a deeper level.
After my first reading with Jen, I realized my purpose in this world. Her reading was a key sign in my process for letting go of everything I was clenching onto desperately in life. The cards and her interpretation helped me to see that I had the power and knowledge inside of me and didn't need anyone else to tell me what I needed to be doing with my life. The next day it all came into focus and I was able to start taking action immediately to change my life into what I wanted it to be.
Her knowledge of the symbolism of each deck of cards she uses is astonishing. Combined with her gut feelings to interpret a red symbol as love or danger takes the guesswork out of the process and gave me clear insight into the message I needed to receive."
Amanda Young, President & Founder
Simplify Your Marketing
"I had never had a reading before but was always curious about the process. The first reading I had with Jen was perplexing but she really helped me understand some of the less obvious meanings being revealed. I recently had Jen perform a second reading and it was so spot-on accurate it was spooky!
For some time, I've been seeing repeating number patterns. When I mentioned this to Jen afterward and looked up their meaning, it was an exact match to her interpretation.
Jen has an amazing intuition and ability to guide you through the messages with a calm clarity and confidence. She helped me see the opportunity for some powerful choices that will help me make the best decisions possible for my business. I now have the understanding and the confidence to make a change I've been grappling with because of fear. Jen's insights have also empowered me to step out of my comfort zone and fully engage in a commitment that will propel my business further."

"Oh my gosh Jen, you definitely nailed it!
Yes, healing energy is needed and being obtained, not only for my life in a bigger way, but yesterday I had the biggest headache that just kept ebbing and flowing, actually, it started last week…
Anyway, fortunately I have your readings as a way in (that lovely yellow light) for digging deeper. I've already started to answer the questions you've posed, and feeling my overwhelm starting to ease. It feels right to take my time pondering and musing, while I create my spiritual-growth-and-self-nurturing-rituals-to-find-my-true-center me time.
Thank you so much for this reading, so very useful on my journey!"

"I had never even seen a reading before and didn't know what to expect. I tend to be cynical about things I can't prove so, although I went into it with a curious mind, I didn't believe I would feel anything or get specific messages for me. The first thing I noticed was the calmness about it. Just being near you while you read was a very calming and enjoyable experience.
I didn't expect to feel anything when I scanned the cards which is why I went over them so methodically. I dismissed the small shocks of electricity I received to a pinched nerve because of the way I was holding my arm. Told you I am cynical, but I was also determined, so I went over them again being careful not to try too hard. I picked two cards based on energy spikes and one because my hand actually dipped down on its own to touch a card as I was hovering over it.
Before you flipped the cards I was a little afraid they might be a bit evil since I didn't trust in the process, so I was truly stunned when you flipped the cards over to show me Archangels Michael & Raphael and the Adjacent Possibilities cards! I wasn't seeking answers to any questions at the time so I was even more surprised to learn how the cards and the message applied to my current situation so well. Because of your reading, my faith in the Universe has increased!
More important was the time we spent together at the table. You answered several of my questions, and had great questions of your own for me. For example, you asked me if my $12,000 goal was playing small. When I had time to think about it, I realized I was playing very small so I've since tripled my goal. Had you not nudged me in a calm, but honest, way, I would never have stretched to reach something bigger. So, I thank you for the push.
I am so thankful for the time you spent with me. Truly, your reading couldn't have been more suited to where I am in my life – surrounded by multiple possibilities, facing decisions and feeling vulnerable. Thank you for showing me the angelic support I have and encouraging me to explore what's out there for me. It's impossible not to have faith in that!"

"I cannot even begin to describe how amazingly gifted Jen is. I was incredibly lucky enough to have experienced both a group fire ceremony and a private Transformational Reiki Session with her. The group dynamics she established with the Fire Ceremony were incredible. You could feel the energy everywhere as she masterfully guided us through an emotionally freeing, intimate journey. We all looked at each other wide-eyed afterwards, knowing something profound had just taken place. The ceremony gave me peace and clarity, kick-starting my shift to receptiveness.
The individual session was equally phenomenal. Jen may be soft, kind and charming, but she is powerful and highly skilled. I was awe-inspired. I could feel the energy as she worked, and felt transformed afterwards. I know the clarity involved created far more receptiveness for the material although it's hard to put into words. I've also just sensed an energy shift — once again tough to put into words, but the shift has been undeniable.
And the rut that I was in, Jen read with absolute clarity and was able to help me better define it. She cleared all of the blocks away that were keeping me in that rut… with exception to my one large block that I am apparently not able to let go of yet, but she helped build my awareness of it so that I'm able to continue working with it.
Thank you, Jen, for who you are, and for the way in which you leave such beautiful wakes behind you."
Misti Townsend, Founder

"Going in to a session with Jen, I was excited about the possibilities and admittedly skeptical about the effectiveness of Reiki at a distance. It was if the universe shook me awake when she gave me the message she received and what she would be working on in our session. She was on point and specific with everything, down to the pain in my right knee.
After the session I immediately felt more relaxed and connected for the remainder of the day. During the two days following the session, things felt chaotic, but not in a terrible way, more in the way of upheaval leading to change. In the weeks that followed, I experienced increased ability to see the good, increased connection to the Universe more in-tune with my intuition, more peace and funny enough, completely alleviated of knee pain.
It has taken me a while to come up with the words to express the profound changes
that I felt, in short, amazing."

"Before starting Jen's Moon Wishing course I was feeling a bit lost, stuck and frustrated. I was seeking clarity and direction in various parts of my life. I needed help uncovering the next steps to take for healing and for creating the life that I wanted.
I kid you not—the very night I wrote my first New Moon wishes I woke up at 2:22 AM and clearly recalled a very powerful and symbolic dream I had just been having. I understood the meaning of the dream instantly. This dream gave me new insights and directions on how to continue on my healing path.
I know my wishes were heard loud and clear! I cannot wait to see what else unfolds as I continue with my moon wishing practice. I am so grateful for Jen's wisdom and guidance throughout this process! This stuff works!"

"Hi Jennifer,
I want to thank you for creating Moon Wishing. My first Moon Wishing experience took place on the New Moon of January 1st, 2014 at 5:15am. I read your course material, sat down with humble intentions, and wrote out my wish list in my journal in brightly colored markers. Some of my wishes were small and some large, some physical and material, some spiritual and emotional. To my great surprise and appreciation, many of these dreams have already come true and others are unfolding as I write.
Here are a few examples:
My wish: I want total clarity in my relationship with my Higher Self so I am Divinely guided. Whew! This is the best part. All my claire's are firing on all cylinders. I easily notice signs, remember dreams, communicate with my angels and guides, and have walked through many new doors since I wrote this down. I trust myself and am filled with gratitude.
My wish: I want to easily attract a new vehicle (new model Honda CRV, leather interior, moon roof, bike rack, seat warmers, neutral/earthy/warm color, low mileage, looks new, runs amazing). OK. THIS HAPPENED!
My folks came to visit over the 4th of July holiday. I did not mention this wish to them. I had a 1999 CRV. It ran really great. I was prepared to drive it another 100,000 miles if need be, even though it was looking really rough and weathered, and little things were starting to fall apart). Every time I got in it, I said THANK YOU for being such a great vehicle. My parents drove up in a 2010 Honda CRV, titanium brown color, that they have recently purchased for my mom. Over dinner they were explaining to me that they had sold my late grandfather's farm and a portion of the proceeds had been divided among the grandchildren. Then they handed me the title of their new Honda and said that was "my share." Oh the tears! I've never been so surprised in all my life. It doesn't have all the features I asked for, but It's nicer than anything I could have afforded. Oh so grateful!!
Thank you Universe! Thank you New Moon! Thank you Divine helpers! Thank you Moon Wishing!"

"When I started working with Jen, I was, quite simply, at a loss. I'd gone through a great deal of devastation in my life, and I felt I had 'bottomed out'. I can honestly say that Jen helped talk me off the emotional ledge, and she helped me adjust my focus and finally move forward.
One of the main ways she is different from other personal advocates is that rather than gloss over all my pain by turning a blind eye to it, or to ignore it and just tell me to 'count my blessings', she helped me acknowledge the hurt and loss I'd been holding on to, and let it go. Then she helped me see how I could replace that with goals and goodness, however small they seemed, and start realizing my forward motion. As small as my steps were, I was 'moving energy', and that forward motion, with her constant help along the way, has brought me back to myself."

"Thanks Jen, I wanted to let you know I am loving this package!!
It's interesting, because I definitely identify with being too much up in my head, but when I bought this package, I noticed I did so because it felt right. Essentially, I allowed my heart to lead, and I've been using the information to such good effect. Especially the green light pouring in from my crown. I envision it loosening up the bottleneck in my heart, and I just had the best week last week. I focused on my commitment to my clients as a way to get my Training Game Plans out to them in a more timely manner, and that worked out quite well. I finished up one that was hanging around unfinished through the holidays, and got another one out in a few days time, yay! I'm looking forward to using this mini reading as well. Thank you so much! :-)"

"Thank you, Jennifer, for waking all of this happiness within me.
I have always wanted to be "good at art." I have never taken a class, but I have always loved painting, drawing, and "wished" I had the talent. I have colored mandalas from an adult coloring book in the past and found it so relaxing.
Just since starting your class, I've started drawing them myself. I was surprised at how easy it came. I know some of my drawings are childlike, but I guess I am a child when it comes to art. I'll grow up…
Combining the art and the journal is really awesome! I'm always so shocked at what comes out. Like the picture above, leaving fear, unhealthy, lack, unforgiveness, anxiety in the past. Going down the road of my journey with family, life, work, events and friends at my side. Going over the mountains learning release, forgiveness, connection to spirit, learning to be happy and live in peace brings wisdom (in the sun) and then ALL the wonderful things that happen when you put that wisdom to work. Freedom, truth, love, good energy, abundance, integrity, good health, etc. Art is helping me put those feelings to paper, connecting them and releasing what needs to be released at the same time. If I were to just write these words down, I wouldn't have that vision of leaving some of them in the past and the beautiful things ahead of me."

"Dear Jen,
Just a quick note to tell you how much I love your work. The group really resonates with me and I am grateful for your all your insight. I loved your most recent blog. I feel what you are saying and so get it. I loved Avatar and no one else saw it the way that I did. The Zulu have a greeting, Saubono, which sets the intention, "I see you" (I hear you, I am present to you). There is a response, but I cannot recall it at the moment.
During the Full Moon work, when I called on my moon guide and began the conversation, allowing my imagination to run free, I asked for a name. One popped into my head and the idea of what she looked like was very clear. So much so, that I painted her. I really am loving this work. It has really inspired and freed creativity for me. Thank you."
Many blessings,

"Working with Jennifer awakened a deeper creativity and connection to a power that is taking me to a new level in my art and design. Learning about and the importance of yin and yang, duality forming a whole and the balance has allowed me to see and work differently. I now honor the feminine darkness, the earth energy, rest and balance with the active and energetic self. I felt held by Jennifer throughout as we explored inner aspects within myself that are ready to be expressed! I look forward to continuing my work with Jennifer to further develop myself as a creative force in art and design."

text: CULTURE Rupert Murdoch to Buy $57 Million Manhattan Penthouse 9:39 AM PST 2/21/2014 by Erik Hayden FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of One Madison; AP Images One Madison; Rupert Murdoch The recently divorced media mogul bought four top levels in One Madison high-rise condo building. Rupert Murdoch is investing in Manhattan high-rise living. In a deal that's set to close next week, the News Corp chairman bought four floors -- levels 57 to 60 -- for $57.25 million in the One Madison building, according to a real estate column in News Corp's flagship paper, The Wall Street Journal. A Murdoch spokesperson confirmed the penthouse purchase to The Hollywood Reporter. One Madison is one of the most exclusive high-rise residences in Manhattan, located at 23 E. 22nd St. Sales for the building began last September. The luxury skyscraper "is the 'It' building downtown without a question based on all the residents already and yet to be announced," Dolly Lenz, the listing agent for the property, told THR. The agent noted that the 57-60 levels, which were purchased immediately upon release, have never previously been occupied. Italian designer Domenico Dolce, who Lenz had represented, had been interested in buying the penthouse levels roughly five years ago, she said. STORY: The Financial Breakdown of Rupert Murdoch's Divorce Levels 58, 59 and 60 comprise the building's penthouse, which features "nearly 7,000 square feet of open interior space and soaring ceilings with dramatic full-height windows that offer cinematic 360-degree skyline and river views," according to the One Madison site. On June 13 of last year, Murdoch filed for divorce from his third wife, Wendi Deng, after 14 years of marriage. A little more than two months later, the 82-year-old media mogul closed on a $28.8 million purchase of Moraga Vineyards, a 13-acre estate in Bel Air. The media mogul had learned of the estate in the pages of the Journal, a source told THR last February. In September 2013, Murdoch listed his six-cabin, 56-meter luxury yacht Rosehearty, which first sailed in 2006, for $29.7 million. Related Companies, which operates the 60-story One Madison building, issued a news release on Thursday touting the sale of levels 57-60. Buyers have "the ability to step foot in their exact residence today," stated senior vp of Related Sales Leslie Wilson. Related notes that neighboring floors in the luxury building have yet to be sold. "Interest continues to soar and there are still enviable homes available, including the gracious duplex residence on the 55th and 56th floors," Wilson said.

Mail delivery could stop for some county residents
All Barry County residents should be using their new E-911 address by March 1. Individuals who did not submit a completed change of address card to the U.S. Postal System could stop receiving mail next month.
"People need to get those cards sent into their post office," said Harold Schelin, Barry County Emergency Service Board member. "If they do not, the post office may not deliver their mail after the end of the month."
Over the last year, area post offices have delivered mail that is addressed using either a new 911 address or an old address. The one-year grace period for changing addresses will expire in the next few weeks.
"It can take a month or two for addresses to be updated," said Mike Phillips, county GIS technician. "When I submit a new address, it must first be updated by AMS (Address Management Systems), which keeps a list of addresses available for banks and other organizations."
AMS has a contract with the U.S. Postal System to manage and update all addresses. Local post offices must download address updates from AMS. This process can cause a delay in mail delivery, which some area residents have already experienced, said Phillips.
Individuals who have questions or concerns about their new E-911 mailing address are encouraged to call Phillips or Barry County E-911 Director Pat Leighter at 846-4911.

Simply looking at it does not give away any hint that it can be used for sexual pleasure, but it does appear to be a genuine hand held product with no real mystery behind it whatsoever. That doesn't mean to say one can't use it for nocturnal or personal gratification and let's face it; it's unfair to blame a cucumber for illicit use just because it happens to have a phallic shape.
The Hitachi Magic Wand would not strike any person stumbling across it as an item which is no more than a deep muscle massager. But upon investigations around forums and blogs by women who had used the Hitachi Magic Wand, I was firmly put in my place and surprised that many had made use of the Hitachi Wand for no other reason than to use it for sexual pleasure.
So, pretty much you've got the best of both worlds in the Hitachi Magic Wand; it is an effective product for relieving tension in the neck and other aching muscles and having been used on the New York-based television series Sex and the City, it quickly became seen as a sex toy. I can't say for sure how high the eyebrows were raised by Japanese executives at the Tokyo-based offices of Hitachi, but sure enough at exhibition showcasing some of Hitachi's most successful products, the company hid the wand and many of the Hitachi Magic Wand accessories underneath the counter!
The company may express some reservations about it but sales are just too hot for them to even think about pulling production on this reliever, but what about these Hitachi Magic Wand attachments? There are several attachments you buy online that fit the Hitachi wand, but not all are necessarily made by Hitachi.
Admittedly I was amazed to discover one of the endorsed Hitachi Magic Wand attachments happened to be a "G Spotter." So my thoughts are that the company is relishing its less than wholesome reputation. But so what, if the product sells well and is then praised highly by its users, doesn't it warrant a huge pat on the back? A quick look through the Amazon reviews, known for their honesty and brutal criticisms of products, and you'll find glowing review after glowing review. I may just get one for the pain in my neck!

|Ardbeg Supernova 2015 Sample
We have been following some of the progress of the Ardbeg Space Experiment in recent past with our post Going Supernova - Sampling the Ardbeg Supernova and Space Aged Whisky - Ardbeg In Space. To find out more about the experiment results why not have a read of the White Paper Dr Bill Lumsden has released.
Ardbeg Supernova 2015
Distillery: Ardbeg
Location / Region: Islay, Scotland
Colour: Apple flesh
Nose: Giant, rich, and peaty. Smoke is prevalent while displaying sweet caramel fudge, boggy earthy textures, and milk chocolate. The malt element also delivers a bready to warm breakfast cereal characteristic.
Taste: Full bodied, mouth coating, sweet, tacky, salty and earthy. A heavy hitter in character this whisky is not shy of pushing its way to your gut.
Finish: Hell warming in the chest. A real fire build fast and furious before sweet medical textures salivate in the mouth. Finally a very obvious spicy aniseed and turpentine dryness to finally take hold.
Overall it is a beast of whisky and something to keep those peat freaks happy that may have felt the Ardbeg Day 2015 Perpetuum release earlier this year was not disco enough. If I was to give a dram a solid 6 out of 7. It is a good whisky with real character.
At $245 a bottle the price is not for the faint hearted but I certainly think if you were not as happy with the previous Supernova release this should stifle those qualms. Purchasing is available for Australian residence now through the Moet-Hennessy website.

Ever since Europe imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has held high hopes of countering them by strengthening its alliance with China on energy, defense, and agricultural trade and investments. Such partnerships would have made up for the loss of Russian energy exports to and food imports from key European countries, dampening the effects of the sanctions, and would have also shown the West how easily it can be replaced.
Unfortunately for Moscow, this strategy has failed. Russia has been unable, despite its efforts, to sufficiently step up trade and investment with China in its hydrocarbons, nuclear, and defense industries, among other things. To be sure, Russia has made several deals with China that, when implemented, could see oil and gas trade skyrocket. But the construction of two gas pipelines—the "Power of Siberia" and "Altai"—intended to bring gas from Siberia to parts of China have been postponed to the 2020s. To make matters worse for Moscow, low oil and gas prices have cast doubts over these projects' profitability, and Russian energy companies, constrained by the Western sanctions regime, are also struggling to develop oil and gas fields in eastern Siberia.
Russia is thus finding itself as one of many producers—including Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Iraq, Turkmenistan, and perhaps, soon, Iran—that are helping China diversify its energy sources, while Beijing continues to maintain its deals with traditional suppliers on the Arabian Peninsula and in Southeast Asia. In essence, rather than playing Europe by engaging with China, Russia is getting played by China. All the while, the bulk of Russian energy exports continues to flow west and Sino–Russian energy ties, toothless as they are, pose no threat to EU energy security.
Russia had also hoped to increase its exports of weapons and defense technology to China or

Diamond rings might be the number one and classic option for engagement rings. However, they are not the only options. In fact, non-traditional engagement rings are becoming more popular than ever, especially given the steep price tag of diamond rings. Colored gemstones provide a modern but equally elegant alternative to diamond rings for a fraction of the latter's price. Sapphire rings at Moi Moi take the spot as one of the most popular of the colored gemstone ring options. If you like royal blue as a color, this ring is going to be your next best pick to diamonds.
Symbol of Sapphire Rings
If you like to buy rings and gemstones for their symbol and meaning, you won't be disappointed if you invest in sapphire rings at Moi Moi. According to expert jewelers, sapphire represents wisdom and good fortune. At the same time, the royal blue color is considered noble and exudes a sense of prestige. It is therefore a good choice for an engagement ring because it not only looks good when worn, but it also holds symbolic value and meaning. Click here Moi Moi Fine Jewellery
Why Choose Sapphire Rings?
There are many other colored gemstones to choose from for those who are interested in buying them as alternative to diamond rings. However, sapphire rings are not the only option available. There are ruby, emerald, opal and garnet. All of these offer distinct style that makes them standout choices for ring shoppers.
One reason why sapphire makes for a popular choice for ring buyers is the fact that this gemstone is highly durable. It offers superior hardness and scores 9 on the Mohs scale. It has a high refractive index and has lack of cleavage. This is the most durable option out of all the colored gemstones in the market. If you are a practical buyer, that alone is enough to convince you to want to invest in one.
In addition to the durability and practicality of investing in sapphire rings, the fact that you can choose many colors makes them suitable for all personalities and styles too. Blue sapphire is the most popular color available; in fact, this is probably what you would imagine when you think about sapphire rings. But if blue isn't your favorite color, you need not despair since there are several other color options to choose from.
Yellow sapphire is growing in popularity for those who are looking for a cheap alternative to canary diamond. It offers a delicate hue and a beautiful sparkle. Since this is not as popular as the blue sapphire ring, it is also less expensive to buy.
Another unique color option for sapphire rings is the one with a pink color. Pink sapphire is available in a wide range of color hues including pastel shades to pinkish-purple tones. You can therefore choose the right hue that will fit into your intended recipient's style.
Are you currently shopping for an engagement ring? Look into sapphire rings at Moi Moi so you can save (in comparison to buying diamond engagement rings) without compromising on classic style.

- 1 Understanding Your Dog's Body Language
Physical and Vocal Signals
Most dog owners occasionally ask themselves, "I can't understand my dog, what is he doing?" Whether through body language or various vocalizations, dogs have a unique way of communicating with other dogs, animals, and humans.
Because dogs are instinctively packed animals, they relate to another's presence, animal or human, in terms of their own dominance or submission to it. Consequently, most of a dog's communication displays can be read as either a show of dominance or of submission.
Body Language
When a dog communicates through body language, he's most likely using his ears, eyes and eyebrows, mouth or tail. Although some dogs, like beagles with drop ears, can't use their ears to communicate, most can and do. A dog's ear position can tell you how alert the dog is. The more forward and erect a dog's ears are, the more attentive, concentrating and dominant he is in the situation.
See also:
Eye and brow expressions of a dog generally indicate the same emotions as they do with humans. While raised brows indicate confusion or irritation, narrowed eyes reveal a dog's anger.
Of all the facial means of dog communication, a dog's mouth is perhaps the most complex in that it must be read in the context of the rest of the dog's body language. While relaxed panting can mean a dog is tired or ready to play, a snarled lip with exposed teeth can be a form of aggression or play, depending on the rest of the dog's stance.
Tail Wagging
Hands down, one of the most recognizable signals of a dog's body language is tail wagging. Long, fast wags indicate that a dog is happy. If the dog wags so hard that his hips move as well, then he is also displaying a degree of submission.
However, a dog's communication through his tail movements can be more complex: slight, slow wags reveal that a dog is unsure of the situation and feels uncomfortable. Even the level at which the dog holds his tail when it's not being wagged is a mode of communication. The higher the dog holds his tail, including a tail that curls over his back, the more dominant and secure the dog feels.
Vocal Dog Communication
A dog's barking, growling, and howling are modes of communication. Each of these vocalizations is complex because it can be used in a variety of situations and, therefore, can be interpreted in different ways.
A dog barks if he feels an intrusion into his territory if he wants to identify himself, if he hears or sees something unexpected or if he's playing. Feelings associated with a dog's bark can range from sadness to anxiety to happiness.
The length and pitch of the bark are indicators of the dog's emotion: quick, medium-pitched barks usually mean a dog feels playful, while longer, constant, high-pitched barks reveal a dog's distress and anxiety.
Growling can be either playful or aggressive. Although louder growls that don't display teeth are playful, incessant, low-pitched growling is meant to be a menacing show of dominance.
Like barking and growling, howling can communicate either one of two opposite messages. A dog is either calling out for someone or something or urging others to keep away. Loud, jarring noises can trigger a dog's howling. Again, the context is the key to understanding what a dog's vocal communications mean.
Understanding Your Dog's Body Language
People lack an appropriate canine vocabulary, so developing a good relationship with your dog depends on your ability to interpret your dog's needs and moods from his body language.
Of course, just like humans, individual dogs have their own personality traits. To get you started, the lists below contain general canine body language signals and the behaviors to expect with them.

- The dog may be drooling.
- The body may be tense, shivering, and in a position for immediate movement.

- The eyes are wide open and focused.
- The mouth is closed.
- The body is rigid and low to the ground.
- The dog quietly sniffs the air.
- The tail is straight and low.
- The dog makes no vocalization.

These e-mails are generally sent in HTML format, with a hyperlink directly to the shipper's website. Some large e-mail providers, such as Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, etc… will strip HTML contents from all e-mails, regardless of the contents. This will result in receipt of a blank e-mail. Although there is nothing we can do to prevent this, we can provide you with a text-only tracking number upon request.
For your protection, an insurance fee of $1.50 will be added to every shipment. The inclusion of this fee will help insure the recovery of items that inadvertently become lost, damaged, or stolen on the journey from our shop to you.

amazon.com and sotheby's holdings inc. have agreed to shutdown their jointly operated auction site, sothebys.amazon.com, and instead combine the two sites. as part of the deal, visitors to sotherbys.amazon.com will be redirected to sothebys.com and amazon.com will have a featured link to sothebys.com.
in addition, sotheby's will pay amazon.com an annual cash payment to promote sothebys.com in its marketing efforts.
joel's opinion
this news is sure to put a few smiles on investors' faces. lately, investors have been very skeptical about amazon.com and its future, their main reason for skepticism being that amazon.com is not going to be profitable any time soon and instead continues to expand into new product areas. this new deal not only gives sotheby's better marketing but also gives amazon an even better cash flow.
i wonder if this is the future of amazon.com? instead of launching co-branded sites it will instead provide links to sites directly for a cash amount. if memory serves, it's already doing that for a few sites now.
it will be interesting to see what the market does with amazon's stock today as a result of this announcement.
user comments 1 comment(s)
|dump amazon now – avoid the rush! (11:27am est wed oct 11 2000)
investors see this as a positive sign?
it's the beginning of the end. amazon is starting to divest themselves of obligations. won't be long before we see them offering their customer list opfr sale – when it's the only asset bezos has left.

As soon as you arrive on Oahu, you'll be welcomed by one of the most iconic sites in all of Hawaii: Diamond Head. This extinct volcanic crater sits just south of Waikiki Beach, and is visible all the way up the island's leeward coast. There may not be a more well-known site on the island, and its iconic shape has been seen in pictures and imagery for as long as people have been vacationing on Oahu.
The history of Diamond Head dates back to the days of ancient Hawaii and has long been the island's most recognized site. The name comes from a misconception from the 19th century, when British sailors mistook calcite crystals for diamonds. Thinking these were of great value, they began collecting the worthless rocks, and the "diamond" portion of the name stuck. The "head" part of the name likely comes from the ancient Hawaiians, who named the crater after the shape of the Ahi Tuna's head. In Hawaiian, Diamond Head is "Le'ahi", taken from the shape of the tuna's head.
A volcanic tuff cone, Diamond Head is estimated be between 400,000 and 500,000 years old. One of 5 volcanoes on Oahu, the eruption cycle of this volcano is believed to be very brief, thought violent, lasting anywhere from a few days to a month. Interestingly, the volcano erupted just one time, and will never erupt again.
Designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1968, Diamond Head has been used as a military post since the early 1900s and has had a variety of jobs, most notably as the FAA air traffic control center from 1963-2001. Today, only the National Guard facility and the Hawaii State Civil Defense remain in the crater, and the facilities are visible from the top of the trail.
Visitors from all over the world enjoy an easy hike to the top of Diamond Head, where a sunrise view is a perfect way to start a day, and the entire coastline of Oahu's west coast is visible. The paved trail, with easy to climb stairs and handrails is a great experience for all ages, and shows off the incredible beauty of Oahu. All of Waikiki Beach is visible and the deep valleys and high mountains of the island show off the diverse topography of the island.
