How to Be Charming & Charismatic
Have you ever noticed how some people captivate everyone they speak to? No matter what they look like or how much money they have, they can walk into a room and instantly be the center of attention. When they leave, people think highly of them and want to emulate them. That's charisma, a sort of magnetism that inspires confidence and adoration.
Like beauty, luck, and social position, charisma can open many doors in life. Unlike these other qualities, anyone can become more charismatic.
- Improve your posture. Good posture will give the impression of self confidence (even if you don't feel that way on the inside). While walking, maintain a relaxed yet definitive upright posture: spine long, shoulders back, head level with the ground. This may feel awkward or overpowering to you when you first practice it, but keep trying.
- Relax the muscles in your face to the point where you have a natural, pleasant expression permanently engraved there. Face the world and show everyone you're not afraid.
- Make a connection. When your eyes come in contact with another person's, nod and smile subtly with a subdued joy shining forth. Don't worry about the other person's reaction and don't overdo it.
- Remember people's names when you meet them for the first time. This takes an enormous amount of effort for most people. Repeat the person's name when stating your name to that person will help you to remember it better. For example: "Hi Jack, I'm Wendy." Follow through with small talk and repeat the person's name. Repeat it once more when you say goodbye. It's not just about helping you to remember that person. The more you say a person's name, the more that person will feel that you like them and the greater the chance they'll warm up to you.
- Be interested in people. If you meet a new acquaintance, for example a coworker, a classmate, a friend of a friend, etc. find out about their immediate family and interests. Be sure to ask after the names of family members and remember them. Be careful in that subject though you don't want to be nosy. If you ask too much they will become uncomfortable. Also ask after their particular interests in life. These two topics will ensure much better small talk than just harping on about school or work. Most people don't like to think about those things at social occasions unless they have to. Even if it is about networking, you should understand fully the worth of taking a break from talking shop. It is important to refrain from talking up about yourself. Be purely interested and impressed by the person with whom you are speaking.
- Orient topics toward the audience. This means taking into account topics that interest those around you, even if you are not so keen on them. If you are in a sporty crowd, talk about last night's game or the meteoric rise of a new team. If you are amongst a group of hobbyists, draw out their hobbies and make remarks related to fishing, knitting, mountain climbing, movies, etc. Nobody expects you to be an expert. It is your level of interest and willingness to engage in topics that makes you an interesting person to be around. Exercise an open mind. Let others do the explaining. If someone mistakenly thinks you know more about the topic, be genuine and simply say that your knowledge is limited but that you are hoping to learn more about it.
- Praise others instead of gossiping. If you are talking with someone or you are talking in a group of people, and up pops the subject of another person in a positive or negative way, be the one to mention something you like about that person. Hearsay is the most powerful tool in gaining charm because it is always viewed as 100% sincere. It has the added benefit of creating trust in you. The idea will spread that you never have a bad word to say about anyone. Everyone will know that their reputation is safe with you.
- Don't Lie. A lie is something you say for which there is some direct evidence somewhere out there that contradicts it. If you tell Mary that you like Jane and Billy that you don't like Jane, Mary and Billy will talk and your reputation will be ruined. No one will believe a word you say.
- Issue compliments generously, especially to raise others' self esteem. Try to pick out something that you appreciate in any situation and verbally express that appreciation. If you like something or someone, find a creative way to say it and say it immediately. If you wait too long, it may be viewed as insincere and badly timed, especially if others have beaten you to it. If you notice that someone is putting a lot of effort into something, compliment it, even if you feel that there is room for improvement. If you notice that someone has changed something about themselves haircut, manner of dress) notice it, and point out something you like about it. If you are asked directly, be charming and deflect the question with a very general compliment.
- Be gracious in accepting compliments. Get out of the habit of assuming that the compliment is being given without genuine intent. Even when someone makes a compliment out of contempt, there is always a germ of jealous truth hiding in their own heart. Be effusive in accepting the compliment. Go beyond a mere "thank you" and enjoin this with "I'm glad you like it" or "It is so kind of you to have noticed." These are "compliments in return." Avoid backhanding a compliment. There is nothing worse to a person complimenting than to receive the response "Oh well I wish I was as ______ as you/that situation." That is tantamount to saying, "No, I am not what you are saying I am, and your judgment is wrong."
- Control your tone of voice. The tone of your voice is crucial. Most people feel insecure somewhere inside and have an inability to accept praise. For this very reason, when you praise, do it subtly and glibly. When you say, "you look nice today" it should be in the exact same tone that you would use to say "it's a nice day." Any variation from your normal tone will arouse suspicion about your sincerity. Practice giving compliments into a recorder and play it back. Does it sound sincere? Practice until you get it right.. It might not sound right to you, in that case, ask someone for judgement.
- Developing charisma is an art. The general guidelines above can help you be more charismatic, but your charisma must come from within you and must reflect you as an individual or it will appear fake. Fortunately, everyone has the ability to be charismatic, and it simply needs to be coaxed out. Practice and take note of what works and what needs improvement.
- Don't mimic others. People with well developed charisma have a remarkable ability not only to sway people's opinions but also to cause others to emulate their personalities and even gestures. At the same time, however, research has shown that charismatic people do not emulate other charismatic people. Their individuality sets them apart.
- Have a message. Don't be afraid to be controversial, to push the envelope. If you believe in something or feel strongly about it, communicate that in a respectful way. Your charisma will help people be accepting of your ideas.
man this is something that really intrest me.. the topic really make me happy.. teached me alot on how to mix with others..hoping there will be more about this.. thank you again..

@ Abd Raae – Asides from teaching you how to mix well with others you would also be able to attract any girl that you like and date her. All of a sudden these days I am obsessed about learning how to be a master charmer!! 😉

its realy very very good,
I wanna change myself

very good information…thnx ….
Good information in very simple form. Thanks its really useful.
These are insightful. After reading them my game has stepped up! We (people) almost know these pointers inherently, but you have outlined them definitively.Your effort is applauded . Thanks!
these were really helpful tell us like how can we increase our vocab and enhance our communication skill…
these are very helpful guidelines and they really do work. like showing interst in people. giving people compliments ETC
Good one……………
That is very good and simple to practice. Tell us more .
Read your thoughts. They are ideal. But difficult to implement. Don`t you be yourself is more charismatic than anything else? I am eager to know.
1. Slouching until you're doubled over like our famous hunchback will ensure that you don't need to relax your facial muscles – no one will see it.
2. Smack people to get their attention – 'connect'. Call everyone the same name e.g. 'Bob'; insult them immediately and they will remember you for a long time to come.
3. Talk about your warts – nothing gels a room better than a ball full of pus!
4. If you get a compliment, accept it. I doubt this will happen often. I usually get compliments though it's usually before I walk into the room.
5. Wait and eventually you will do one good thing; You will then be immortalized as an eccentric genius and you can slouch all you want.
What if you're wrong?
Not in this article, but in a situation.
If we discuss the weather and I strongly belive that a storm blows about 30knots, and you prove it to be 48-54 knots?
Or if I strongly belive in something and you convince me to think otherwise.
How to act charming in those two situations?
Hi! I hate all of you!
A tip from a lady: Sometimes if you come off as too much of a charmer, you're considered a phony. Be careful men, charm women but don't go overboard now =)
This is a good post, if nothing more than for a few laughs. What was surprising, when I stumbled upon your blog on StumbleUpon, is that you're missing out on the one thing that spreads the most good karma among bloggers, a liberal link swap program.
Simple reminders… Awesome tips to use as reminders. Great work!

Dear Per, the two situations where you are confused……. if I were you, I would convince the person that I was highly impressed by their view point and would try to learn more. If I do not get convinced, I would still conclude with appreciation for them with a charm 🙂

Charisma is an inherited quality. You either have it (the majority of us do not) or you don't. This isn't to say you can't improve in ways to make yourself more popular but you can never become charismatic. You have to be born with it. Sorry!!
That was very well written and deserves some praise… definately inspiring and very easy to agree with. Well done on this blog.
Waw, so many things to do, not enough time. BTW, one or two may stuck.
hmmm ALLOT of things that i didn't even thing about :)) very nice post! thanks
Whoever it was up there that said you're either born with it or you're not…well II believe in the power to totally re-invent one's self. Perhaps she's right, but perhaps not…good luck!!
Excellent article i am sure that i will come back here soon

Outpatient Referrals from July 2015
North Tyneside CCG introduced a referral management system in July 2015 within specialities: Dermatology, Ophthalmology, ENT, Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Gastroenterology, Rheumatology, Respiratory, Plastics, Colorectal, Urology, Cardiology, Nephrology and Vascular.
About health are managing this system on behalf of the CCG.
Patient Information
Why are changes happening?
Overuse of hospital services is significantly contributing to North Tyneside CCG's financial deficit position. The cost to the NHS of attending a hospital outpatient appointment when it may not be necessary is on average £145. We all have an important role to play in ensuring that we all access the most appropriate services within the NHS.
The CCG and its member practices have a statutory duty to make the best use of resources and not exceed our financial allocation. This is about spending money where it is intended and in the best interests of the whole patient population.
What is being put in place?
The Referral Management System (RMS) is a scheme which the CCG has put in place to ensure that referrals to secondary care are appropriate, and only made when relevant primary care and community based solutions have been applied. This is entirely consistent with our responsibility to make the best use of resources, and is in the overall best interest of our patients.
What will be different?
The Referral Management System (RMS) aims to bring all referrals up to the standard of the best. This means that referrals will be looked at by Consultants and GPs with Special Interests against a set of agreed clinical criteria. If all criteria for referral have been met, then the referral will go ahead in the usual way. If criteria are not met, then the referral will be returned to the referring GP for agreement with the patient on alternative treatments.
How will we know if it is working?
The CCG and GP Practices will be monitoring the impact of this on a monthly basis to determine that the implementation of the system is ensuring that patients are receiving the best care in the most appropriate place.
Working together to maximise the health and well being of North Tyneside Communities by making the best use of NHS resources.

Only a few hundred words entered the Word Bank last night 'cause it was TV recap time, and twenty-one hundred words and pictures went out in that post, which meant I didn't get much into this one. I did, however, edge over the thousand words beyond three hundred K area, so I have that going for me.
But I got him out to his birthday dinner–sort of–and right below, there in the first paragraph, you discover the name of the restaurant that has become a favorite of theirs:
All excerpts from The Foundation Chronicles, Book Two: B For Bewitching, copyright 2015, 2016 by Cassidy Frazee)
Kerry followed Annie out of the Museum Place and turned right on Church Street. The restaurant where they were dining, Turner's Seafood, was down Church on their left, but before leaving Salem Annie mentioned that she wanted to walk around the block and stroll down the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall before joining the others at what had become their favorite restaurant in Salem after visiting it during their school year end layover at the Sea Sprite Inn.
The sun was still up with perhaps an hour to go before setting. The temperatures were still cool, hovering between eleven and twelve Celsius, but the sky was clear and was expected to stay that way all the way through midnight tomorrow. Kerry hoped this meant warm weather would reach them before they left their school, and the rest of America, behind for the summer.
After all the cold Friday afternoon flying Kerry was ready for some warmth . . .
But the afternoon didn't start off that way. Things were already different when everyone gathered in the Ready Room and the minions took their places at the back of the room. As promised Annie joined Nadine, Rivânia, and Nattat Adriano in the back of the room, but up front Kerry was completely surprised, and not a bit mortified, when "Doctor Gallagher" came out with Vicky and a big deal was made about the face that not only was it the birthday of the school's Chief Medical Officer, but it was also the birthday of one of their class members—
At that point a cake was wheeled out and Kerry stood next to Coraline while everyone sang "Happy Birthday." Coraline congratulated Kerry on becoming a teenager, and, just like last year, she gave him a kiss on the cheek—though she first looked to the back of the room and received a nod of approval from Annie before proceeding.
Yeah, Coraline knows better now than to give a kiss to someone who ain't her soul mate. That Annie is a possessive one. And in case you're wondering, Nattat Adriano is a Mórrígan C Level from Lucira, Angola, and the person whom finished ninth overall in the Individual standings for the 2012/2013 race season. She was the covenmate who ascended the lower podium right behind Emma in the last scene of the last chapter.
So where are they walking? Well, I had to put this together last night, too, so there's more time taken right there.
As Kerry is thinking about what's happening Annie and he are probably at the corner in the upper right hand of the picture, which is as place they've been before: they were here way back in Act One after they'd been dismissed as minions by their own levelmates, and Kerry gave Annie the "We Are Different" talk about why he didn't care if the other kids their age accepted them or not. This time they're not talking about something that's upsetting: this is a day to celebrate, and there's nothing gonna bring these two down.
And, yes, you'll see the gift Annie is gonna give Kerry.
I know: I'm the worst for cliffhangers.

Yesterday, I challenged readers to solve a complicated case of a little girl losing her hair.
More than 1,200 readers weighed in with diagnoses that included a too-tight ponytail, toxins on the girl's violin, autoimmune conditions, eating disorders and even the go-to disease of the doctors on "House," sarcoidosis.
As of late last night, six readers came up with the right diagnosis, although several others came came very close. And the answer is . . .
Final Diagnosis: Pompe disease.
Patients with Pompe (pronounced pom-PAY, like the ancient city) disease have significant trouble breaking down glycogen, the stored form of our main energy source, glucose. Glycogen is most abundant in the liver and in muscle, where it's stored as an emergency form of energy. But in order to be used, the glycogen has to be broken down into glucose via an enzyme.
Patients with Pompe disease, an inherited condition, make defective enzymes or don't have the enzyme at all. Pompe patients become tired easily and have little endurance because they can't get the extra energy from glycogen; they simply run out of gas. More important, the unused and unusable glycogen is left inside muscle and liver cells, and ultimately the build-up of these glycogen fragments destroys the cells.
The consequences of untreated Pompe disease are devastating. Patients quickly become wheelchair bound, and even breathing becomes difficult. (The most severe form of this disease was portrayed in the 2010 Harrison Ford film "Extraordinary Measures." )
A drug that replaces the defective enzyme was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006. Patients who get this medication may be able to slow and sometimes reverse the devastating consequences of this disease.
Readers' responses:
Hundreds of readers weighed in on this case. Some were doctors, but many were not. Some walked us through their thinking; others just laid their proposed diagnosis out for all to see. Only a handful of readers got the right answer.
B. Mull, a physician from Orange County, Calif., was the first to solve the puzzle, submitting his diagnosis at 4:32 a.m. (1:32 a.m. his time), four hours after the case went up. He wrote:
She definitely has a muscle disease. Most likely toxic, autoimmune, or metabolic. There is no obvious toxin however… And what metabolic myopathy has hair loss? I'm putting my money on POMPE DISEASE.
Later that afternoon, a comment came in from Lisa in Minnesota, who proposed that it was "Pompe disease for the muscle issues." Lisa is not a doctor, but says she has worked with people with this disease and recognized the signs.
These two readers, a doctor and a non-doctor, were the first two to figure out the diagnosis. Both will get the prize, a signed copy of my book, "Every Patient Tells a Story."
Four other readers posted answers over the course of the day suggesting Pompe disease, including Sandra from Paulinia, Brazil, Wombat MSIII, LS from NYC, and KH from Houston. Strong work, you guys.
Several more readers deserve honorable mentions for coming very, very close to getting the right answer. All identified the disease as one of the glycogen storage diseases. Pompe is only one member of this family of diseases. Good work for picking the right family, but it wasn't quite specific enough.
I was hugely impressed by the thoughtfulness of comments that were posted. Several made me laugh — I think they were supposed to — and many made me think about how toxic the world we live in can seem. I was amazed by the range of diagnostic suggestions. A few times I even had to look up the proposed diagnosis.
One of the difficulties of this case derived from the fact that the symptom that brought the child to medical attention was less important to making the diagnosis than the results of the blood tests that showed abnormal liver and muscle enzymes.
And while hair loss isn't a key symptom of Pompe disease, the patient tells me it's a very common symptom among the many with Pompe disease that she has come to know since her own diagnosis just over a year ago. Since starting treatment, her hair has not been falling out in her hands the same way she complained about to her mom a lifetime ago.
How the patient's doctors made the diagnosis:
When Dr. Rand, the liver specialist, got the elevated C.P.K. muscle-enzyme test back, she referred the family to Dr. Carsten Bönnemann, a pediatric neurologist now at the National Institutes of Health who specializes in diseases of the muscle.
When Dr. Rand described the case to him, he suggested a test she had never heard of — an ultrasound of the muscles. Normal muscles look dark, nearly black, on an ultrasound. But when the ultrasound wand was put over the patient's thigh muscles, instead of looking black, the muscles looked granular, like the kind of static you see on a TV between channels.
This suggested to Dr. Bönnemann that the muscle might be infiltrated with something else. And the only way to figure out what that something was, he explained to the patient's parents, was to take a biopsy. And indeed, the biopsy suggested that the girl had Pompe disease, which was confirmed by genetic testing.
Back to the patient:
When Dr. Bönnemann broke the news to the girl's parents that that their daughter had Pompe disease and that she inherited it from them, they were devastated. How could they have passed on to their child this disease they'd never even heard of?
But there was more. Because this was a genetic disease, there was a chance that one or both of their other children could have it as well. Testing showed that their 12-year-old son did not have it; their 16-year-old daughter did. When her parents told her, the girl put her head down and cried.
Both girls now get an intravenous infusion of a synthetic version of the enzyme they need every two weeks. The results have been remarkable. Although neither of the girls thought of themselves as weak, they were. The younger daughter can now do three sit-ups; she had never been able to do a single one before she started therapy. The older daughter, now 17, bragged to me that she could pick up a full gallon of milk with one hand — something she couldn't do before she started treatment.
"Every day is kind of a struggle for these girls," the mother told me not long ago. "It's with us every day. Psychologically and practically."
In addition to the medication, the children have to stick to a reduced carbohydrate diet and go to physical therapy a couple of times each week. But, says mom, "They don't let this disease slow them down." Moreover, catching the disease this early has allowed the young women to start treatment and may protect them from some of the worst consequences of the disease.

Prosecutors said Friday they intend to explore the tempestuous relationship between the lead detective in the Phylicia Barnes case and his daughter when his trial on assault and burglary charges begins next week.
The detective, Daniel T. Nicholson IV, is accused of barging into a Northeast Baltimore apartment, knocking a woman to the ground and punching another as he frantically searched for his daughter.
His actions were previously scrutinized at the trial of Michael Maurice Johnson, who was indicted in Barnes' death, when defense attorneys sought to cast doubt on Nicholson's credibility by pointing to the parallels between Nicholson's own hunt and the search for Barnes.
Nicholson's search for his daughter was going on just days before prosecutors indicted Johnson in Barnes' killing. The North Carolina teen had gone missing while on a Christmastime visit to Baltimore in 2010, and her body was eventually found in the Susquehanna River the following April.
Prosecutors said at a motions hearing Friday that they expect the jury in the detective's case to hear further details of the relationship between Nicholson and his daughter.
Two women who were in the apartment will testify that Nicholson's daughter told them she was being abused and was afraid to go home, so they sought to protect her, prosecutors said.
The two women, who lived at the apartment in the 5500 block of Bowleys Lane, testified briefly Friday about how they picked Nicholson out of a photo array at a police station but did not describe the details of the alleged incident.
Baltimore County police charged Nicholson in 2011 with an attack on his daughter. The charges were ultimately dropped after the family agreed to attend counseling, and the judge handling his current trial ruled that the jury could not hear details of the older case.
The trial is scheduled to continue Monday with jury selection.
Johnson's defense lawyers accused the state's attorney's office of delaying bringing charges against Nicholson until their client's case had concluded. But ultimately, Johnson was given a new trial after new evidence surfaced about a key prosecution witness, so both cases are now active at once.
The defense raised the allegations against Nicholson at Johnson's trial. Ivan Bates, who represented Johnson, said if the detective is convicted prosecutors might not want to call him as a witness in the retrial.
Bates is no longer representing Johnson, who now has a lawyer from the public defender's office. His new attorney could not be reached for comment.
Johnson has a Feb. 21 trial date.

A Profile of the Nursing Department in the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital, Cork.
Overview of Department
The Nursing Department in the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital is a dynamic and progressive Department consisting of nursing Staff and 45 healthcare assistants. The Department is led by Ms. Ruth Lernihan, Director of Nursing. Ms. Lernihan is supported by a management team of Assistant Directors of Nursing, ward/unit based Clinical Nurse Managers and Clinical Nurse Specialists. The nursing department plays a central role and is an active member of the organisational team in the development, management and effective delivery of care and services. The Nursing Service is divided into two Directorates (groups of wards/units) which are managed by Assistant Directors of Nursing. Shared governance, as a concept, is encouraged within the nursing department where nurses at all levels actively participate in decision-making and solution generating processes. The Clinical Nurse Managers work together with staff nurses and care assistants to ensure the provision of a high quality of nursing care to the patient across clinical services. The Director of Nursing is a member of the Executive Management Board Nursing is also represented on the Board of Directors and Nursing is also represented on the Clinical Governance Committee.
Philosophy of Nursing Care
The philosophy of Nursing Care is inherent in the care provided to patients attending the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital. The patient, as an individual with individual rights, is the central focus of nursing practice. The nursing service participates in a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care and encourages collaboration with the wider multidisciplinary team to include patient's relatives. The provision of high quality patient-centred care underpinned by evidence, best practice and professional guidelines is an important value for nurses at the South Infirmary - Victoria University Hospital. Clinical staff encourage patient independence and involvement in their care. The Nursing Department commitment to providing quality patient care is highlighted through its participation in a continuous quality improvement initiative which requires regular auditing of practice and feedback from patients.
Quality of Care
The provision of a high quality of care is facilitated through the ongoing education of the Nursing Staff which is motivated by patients needs. We place a strong focus on and support the professional and personal development of Nurses and healthcare assistants working within the Department.

Attendance at other courses relevant to patient care and the work environment are encouraged and supported. A comprehensive In-Service Education Programme based on staff education needs analysis is provided on-site to enhance Nursing Staff knowledge, clinical skills and meet their education needs. Healthcare assistants are supported in undertaking a FETAC qualification and participating and attending in the Inservice programme.

Clinical placements for post-graduate courses are also facilitated from the wider 3rd level institutions.
Opportunities are available to nursing students to integrate and apply theory to practice and to appreciate the role that Nursing plays within the health care system. Nursing students learning experience is enhanced through the support provided by highly motivated clinical staff, clinical placement co-ordinators and support services. A recent collaborative audit of the clinical learning environment by the nursing department and UCC found the South Infirmary-Victoria University Hospital as providing an excellent clinical learning environment for nursing students. Recognition of the knowledge and experience of Nursing Staff in the South Infirmary-Victoria Hospital and their willingness to share their knowledge and experience is consistently evident from student feedback.
The South Infirmary - Victoria University Hospital is renowned for its friendliness and homely atmosphere by both patients and nurses. Family friendly initiatives enhance Nurses opportunities to progress in their career and encourages them to remain in the Health Service while facilitating fulfilment of family commitments and a healthy work-life balance. Support services such as Occupational Health, the Employee Assistance Programme and Stress Management Programme promote retention of staff. The Nursing Staff compliment reflects a response to health strategies and policies devised by the Department of Health and Children.

Through practice development initiatives, training and education, we endeavour to promote and facilitate the continuing professional and personal development of nursing staff in order to enable them to provide a high standard of evidenced based care for patients and their families. A positive approach is taken to the enhancement of the role of the nurse through expansion of practice within the Scope of Practice Framework (An Bord Altranais, 2000). Staff are encouraged to pursue clinical career pathways and are supported by the organisation. Development of Practice is based on the attainment of competency.The Nursing Practice Development person also ensures an effective clinical learning environment for nursing students.

Read: 1st Kings 13:11-22 Open Heaven 7 August 2018
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17 For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back:
21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

Bible in one year: Job 17-20, Matthew 14:34-15:20
Hymnal: Sing hymn 12
Message – Open Heaven 7 August 2018 Tuesday Daily Devotional
There is a clarion call to all children of God to wake up to God's expectations of them in areas such as holy living, soul-winning and service to humanity. It is urgent and important to heed this call in obedience to our Father in heaven and in order to bring glory to His Holy Name. Our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:15-16 said to us:
"Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Knowing that we live in perilous times, swiftly heeding this call has become all the more necessary. When the Holy Sprit made the call in today's memory verse, things were not even as bad as they are today. Therefore, as the Church of God, we must awaken from our slumber. The Holy Spirit says we should arise from the dead, with a promise that Christ will give us light. In other words, many of us are dead spiritually. Nevertheless, thank God that Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is alive to His responsibility of restoring us.
How do members of the body of Christ become dead, and what is actually killing them? Today's Bible reading gives some insight on this. It narrates the story of an old prophet who lived in Bethel, which is translated to mean 'house of God'. Ironically, this prophet living in the house of God was backslidden. There was also another man, a young prophet who had not compromised his faith in Yahweh. God sent him to prophesy against the idolatrous regime of Jeroboam, with a warning that he must not rest along the way until he returned home from delivering God's message. Also, he was commanded not to eat or return by the same way he went. This young prophet did according to what the Lord had told him, except that he felt so tired and decided to take a rest under an oak tree. It is unfortunate that it was at this resting spot that the old prophet met and decided him to go against God's instructions.
Beloved, there are several old prophets around us today. In their backslidden state, they still sound knowledgeable and full of experience when they teach. To unsuspecting young men and women of God, their words are filled with wisdom. You must however beware of their heretic teachings. Their position on several issues can deceive young minds. The poor young prophet believed the old prophet's lies, and he ended up taking a deadly spiritual siesta! Tragically, this same old prophet was the one who delivered God's judgement upon the young prophet. So beware! The old prophet wanted to go to hell but warned as many people as possible to go along with him. Awake, and don't fall for the enemy's tricks!

This is something I wrote on the 27th. It was how I felt then. With the exception of feeling like I'm not going to continue (which *has* dropped to 70-30 against), I don't feel the same as I did then. I still hate what I did, but I'm not actively beating myself up over it. She forgave me (mind-boggling, I know, but that's how she rolls).
As for not continuing, I've stopped because my drive to write is gone. With the exception of these two posts, and a writing excercise, I've not written in about 3 weeks. I have no desire to, and I can't "see" anything. I visualize something, and write what I "see". No visuals, no writing. And you know what? I'm okay with that.
So, relax: I'm not beating myself up, and I'm not punishing myself. The urge is gone. Let's move on?
One more thing: I find it disturbing that everything I've heard about that event has largely been about my writing. That's disappointing.

Practicing Remembering
Deuteronomy 26:1-15
"When you enter the land the LORD your God is giving you as a special possession and you have conquered it and settled there, put some of the first produce from each crop you harvest into a basket and bring it to the designated place of worship—the place the LORD your God chooses for his name to be honored. Go to the priest in charge at that time and say to him, 'With this gift I acknowledge to the LORD your God that I have entered the land he swore to our ancestors he would give us.' The priest will then take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar of the LORD your God."
"You must then say in the presence of the LORD your God, 'My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation. When the Egyptians oppressed and humiliated us by making us their slaves, we cried out to the LORD, the God of our ancestors. He heard our cries and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression. So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and powerful arm, with overwhelming terror, and with miraculous signs and wonders. He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey! And now, O LORD, I have brought you the first portion of the harvest you have given me from the ground.' Then place the produce before the LORD your God, and bow to the ground in worship before him."
(Deuteronomy 26:1-10)
After conquering the land and harvesting a crop, the people were to bring an offering to the Lord. The offering itself signified that God had made good on his promise to his people. By reciting the story of God's provision for Jacob and Israel, the people would be reminded of what God had done for them. He had been faithful. The offering served as a response to God's blessings.
It's easy to forget what God has done for us throughout our lives. It's helpful to hear from others how God has been faithful in theirs. We have to work at remembering. But when we do, we realize just how dependable God is, and we realize all the reasons we have to continue trusting him.
What practices remind you of God's blessings? What is God's history in your family and your life? Can you describe in clear and concise words what God has done for you? Find a friend or family member with whom you can discuss God's activity in your life and your history. Recounting to each other God's work can reveal to you God's involvement in your history.

Grindhouse Trailer Classics 2
Although Synapse in the US has beaten them to the punch with their own line of Grindhouse trailer compilations under the 42nd STREET FOREVER banner, Nucleus has put their own spin on Grindhouse trailer compilations by targeting a second market. The concept, as it has been explained to me, is to play these trailers at parties without sound while rocking on to music. Indeed, I've been told that DJs have used the first disc as visual background to their performances (Nucleus has innovatively provided us with subtitles for the trailer dialogue and vocal hyperbole). The trailers are all enhanced for 16:9 viewing (actual aspect ratios vary) and have been digitally cleaned up (looking better than their presentations on other trailer compilations or the DVDs of their respective films). Most of the trailers have been sourced from 35mm and 16mm elements belonging to private collectors though some have been meticulously reconstructed using footage from the films themselves while the frames with onscreen text have been cleaned up (unlike earlier reconstructions that cut between excellent footage from the films to scratchy on-screen hyperbole). A generous 55 trailers are included along with some contextual supplements.
At least in America, party-goers (not always synonymous with Eurocult freaks) may indeed be bewildered by trailers for BLOODY PIT OF HORROR, CUTTHROATS NINE (which, even in trailer form, bespeaks its reputation as "An adventure in violence that will rip your heart out"), and HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE (the trailer itself is a rarity; having only popped up before in lesser condition as an extra on some SWV/Image DVDs) but trailers for NIGHT CALL NURSES, the Ilsa sequel THE TIGRESS (ILSA THE WICKED WARDEN is present here to as WANDA THE WICKED WARDEN), BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE DEVILS, AXE! (as THE VIRGIN SLAUGHTER), SISTER STREETFIGHTER, and BLACK SHAMPOO ("Give him sass and he'll kick your ass") should be more familiar especially to younger viewers whose introduction to the concept of the Grindhouse began with Quentin Tarantino (despite his sponsored releases of THE BEYOND, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, and MIGHTY PEKING MAN; the trailer for the latter film is present here and probably looks better than it does on Miramax's OOP 4:3 DVD). Not having seen the GRINDHOUSE TRAILER CLASSICS VOL. 1, the reviewer can't help but wonder how such ubiquitous titles as DOLEMITE with its classically quotable dialogue (looking far nicer than the film itself probably looked when new), SNUFF's "Warning" trailer, and FOXY BROWN ("A trick with drive who don't take no jive") didn't make it to the first disc (the fact that these trailers are largely culled from rare film sources instead of other discs and videotapes may explain this). Less familiar to me but very much in the Grindhouse vein in terms of title and content are THE CHEERLEADERS (Nucleus even bothers to subtitle the cheesy theme song), JAILBAIT BABYSITTER, THE NAUGHTY STEWARDESSES, DR. MINX ("Half clad, all bad!") and the extremely un-PC THE BLACK GESTAPO. WOMEN IN CAGES and CHAIN GANG WOMEN cover the WIP bases. The dull-looking (content-wise) GIRLS WHO DO is the only German sex comedy. CHINESE HERCULES is also a new one for this reviewer
It may seem strange to go through the trouble of scrubbing away the Grindhouse grime these trailers have accrued but some – as represented in other collections or discs of the films themselves – have become so degraded by murk, scratches, and had their contrast dulled by being sourced from Nth generation tape sources that their inclusion always seems merely obligatory. Compare the impenetrably dark 4:3 trailer of Scavolini's NIGHTMARE on some of the recent Code Red DVD releases to the 16:9 restoration seen here (forget the blood reds, the killer's royal blue dress shirt really pops in the TENEBRAE shot). The short US trailer for Dario Argento's DEEP RED while still bearing a vertical scratch or two and cropped to 1.85:1 is given a much more respectful treatment here than it was given as a TV spot supplementing the international trailer on Anchor Bay's release. SISTER STREETFIGHTER's widescreen trailer has been popping up on various BCI "Grindhouse" discs but here it's anamorphic and the reconstruction of motion footage from the film and replacement of the still frame text breathes new life into an over-familiar "coming attractions" experience (ditto for THE BODYGUARD). THE UNDERTAKER AND HIS PALS looks better than it has any right to (I doubt any DVD release of the film itself will come close to looking like this unless Marc Morris puts himself through the torturous experience of cleaning up the entire film frame by frame). FLESH GORDON's trailer also looks better than I thought the film could look. Hats off too for the VIOLENT PROFESSIONALS ("Nobody's deathwish") trailer.
The disc has its share of rarities such as the exquisite reconstruction of AIP's trailer for Narcisco Serrador's THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED. HUNCHBACK OF THE MORGUE's US trailer sells the film quite well but the cosmetic enhancements maintain the film's gritty and grotty look while making details more legible than they looked on All Season's VHS tape (including better views of the monster). Umberto Lenzi's THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER is presented here in a rare trailer under the alternate Joseph Brenner US release title SACRIFICE! (featuring library music used in the US version of Sergio Martino's TORSO and very recognizable narrator who did the Brenner trailer for SHOCK WAVES). The same music is heard again in THE DEATH DEALER (the alternate Joseph Brenner US release title to Umberto Lenzi's ALMOST HUMAN which Brenner also released in the states under its original title).
Given these reconstructions, one laments that the current DVD releases of some of these films – legit or not – do not look this good. The nice looking trailer of the horrid Independent International nudie-musical CINDERELLA 2000 is far more colourful than Sam Sherman's cropped fullscreen master supplied to RetroSeduction Cinema for their disc release. The cropping of the open matte and not that carefully composed BLOOD ORGY OF THE SHE DEVILS actually results in some nice-looking compositions. The restored colour palette of TENDER FLESH (aka WELCOME TO ARROW BEACH) suggests that Lawrence Harvey directing and acting in his last film had something loftier in mind than the trailer narration suggests ("Makes the killing in SNUFF look like amateur hour!"). VIRGIN WITCH's trailer ("In a circle of sin, the devil initiates the VIRGIN WITCH") also looks slightly more colourful than the Anchor Bay UK release.
Some of the reconstructions, however, are not so accomplished. INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS alternates between sharp, dimensional footage from the film and flat, dull footage whenever text appears. The footage for THE EXTERMINATOR looks great but the title which zooms in on a black background does look like its been replaced rather than restored as the zoom is too smooth. The TV spot for HOUSE OF PSYCHOTIC WOMEN combines 1.66:1 cropped footage from a new transfer of the film (could be the BCI release or the Tripictures disc) with the faded text screens. THE DRILLER KILLER and NURSE SHERRI fare better because the films themselves look awful.
On the other hand, there are also some that are welcome in any form. The trailer for the Lee Hessel US release of Jose Ramon Larraz's VAMPYRES ("Very unnatural ladies") certainly strikes a different note from the British trailer which better represents the film's atmosphere. The trailer for BLOODY PIT OF HORROR is always entertaining and here it looks better than it has on Image's and Alpha Video's DVD releases where the scratchy trailer matched the film's transfer. THE DEPRAVED has not been completely scrubbed of its scratches but the image looks considerably more lifelike than the source seen on Synapse's 42nd STREET FOREVER. CRIMINALLY INSANE's widescreen trailer looks about on par with E.I. Independent Cinema's DVD release and may also be a reconstruction. DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT has been cleaned up as much as it can here but is still grainy as the original film yet the quality of the audio on this one really stands apart from those of the other trailers. The scope trailer for Aristide Massacessi-shot THE ARENA looks soft but it's a welcome sight since none of the DVD releases of this film have been letterboxed.
Stephen Thrower contributes a 10 minute interview called "Into the Grindhouse" contextualizing the Grindhouse concept for British audiences but the supplement might also be useful for American audiences who are only aware of it through Tarantino and co. Posters for all of the films are included in a still gallery. Additionally, trailers for the Nucleus Films DVD releases of BLOODBATH AT THE HOUSE OF DEATH ("Look out, a bat!"), DEATH SHIP, FAUSTO 5.0, GWENDOLINE, LONDON VOODOO, and the first GRINDHOUSE TRAILER disc are included. All of the menus are accompanied by sound-bytes from the trailers (the main menu makes use of narration from THE DEPRAVED).
So, where's the VIDEO NASTY'S TRAILER COLLECTION?

Looking for a fun summer read for a teen girl--or a grown woman (like me) who enjoys reading young-adult novels?
From the moment Zoey Browne discovers her strangely magical ability to travel in time to her discovery of what drives her to make music, The Practice Room is an inspirational and encouraging read for budding musicians seeking their own way on an artistic path.
Full disclosure: I went to journalism school with the author, Sue Zeidler, so yes, I'm giving The Practice Room a bit of publicity on my blog. But I can also honestly say that I fell into the fantasy world that Sue created with her story about Zoey, a somewhat lost teenager who finds herself as she searches for her lost father in a far-away place called Musicland.

All people often face troubles in their lives. It might be because of their job or because of toxic people such as friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, husbands/wives or even family members.
However, we cannot always blame others. Sometimes the toxic person in our lives is neither our boss nor our partner. Sometimes the toxic person in our lives is ourself.
It's ok for it to happen. Still, you have to realize that the problem is you. The sooner the better! There are many reasons for that to happen. It's like losing yourself.
The following characteristics will help you recognize the symptoms of a problematic personality; gradually, you'll be able to improve yourself.
You often become hateful.
We all get angry sometimes, but if you find yourself hating everyone in your life and constantly blaming others for your problems, then you should consider that something might be completely wrong. You have to realize that you can't always blame others. You have to take responsibility for your actions. Even if others don't always behave the way you want them to, you have to understand that that's their prerogative. I'm not telling you that you should always blame yourself instead. You just have to find the right balance.
Learn why Depression Isn't A Choice, It's A Kind Of Brain Damage.
You're a drama queen.
Are you one of those people who are constantly complaining that they had the WORST day ever, that they are always facing problems in their relationship and that everyone treats them badly? If so, please stop it. It's bad for you and it's also annoying for the people around you. Noone wants a friend who complains about everything. And hey, your life cannot be that bad! We all have things we don't like in our lives. I understand that some things cannot be changed. But if, for example, your problem is your relationship, this is something changeable, you know! There is no use in playing the victim. Think more positive!
You are too competitive.
Competition is not bad at all. It helps us become better and better. However, you shouldn't be competitive about everything. It shows that you're actually jealous of other people and you feel like you should ALWAYS be the best. It's ok to lose. It's ok to fall some times in your life. Just remember to get up again. That has nothing to do with others, so stop comparing yourself to them. You have to depend on yourself.
You are often mean towards others.
Saying mean things to people, even if you do it "as a joke", secretly means that you feel bad about yourself. If you find yourself constantly trying to humiliate others, especially if they're your friends, you should start thinking that there is something inside you that really hurts. Find what it is and try to change it.
Learn why Depression may be the result of you being too nice.
You are controlling.
A sizable indicator that someone is a toxic person is if they are overly controlling. Though many of us have controlling tendencies, there's a difference between someone who likes things tidy and someone who tries to manipulate the people close to them. If you belong in the second category, I think you should try to respect other people's space and choices as well as you want them to respect yours.
You lie a lot.
It's not a surprise that toxic people tend to lie frequently. Some tell little lies, while some others lie about their whole life. The fact is that people who lie a lot, are usually afraid of something. But why are you afraid of the truth? There's no reason to lie at all. People who truly love you, will still love you for who you really are. You don't have to live in a fairytale to be happy.
You gossip.
Another hallmark of toxic persons is a zest for gossip that's a little too strong. We all like to gossip once in a while, but there are people who are constantly talking behind other people's back. "Get a life" might sound like a cruel advice, but its message is powerful; if you start loving yourself and the life you're living, you'll understand that there's no reason to comment everything that has to do with other people's lives.

Place of Origin: West Bengal
Materials: Terracotta
Dimensions: Ht. 41 cm. (approx.)
Acc. No. 64.1774
The deity, known as "Lord of the South" or the "God of Tiger", is worshipped after the harvesting is over (i.e. from December to January) in the West Bengal region. It is in the form of a painted head with geometric patterns over the pyramidal crown. The Dakshin-Ray is worshipped by all those who enter the Sunderban forests of West Bengal, for subsistence, irrespective of their caste, creed or religion. It is believed that worshipping the deity is necessary for the safe passage of the people passing through these forests. The puja (ritual) for this deity is followed by the Zatal ceremony. This day is also meant for the annual collection of the taxes by the headman. It is believed that if a boatman passes through a southern river or if a fisherman catches fish in any of these tanks or a woodcutter exploits the southern forest products, had to offer puja to this deity. The money thus collected by this puja is considered as tax and taken by the headman.

By now, you've read the news. Apple's Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi, and John Ternus briefed five technical journalists on plans to develop a new Mac Pro, likely to be delivered in 2018. The details start with Jeff Gamet's summary. That points to John Gruber's report, and that, in turn points to the other stories by Matthew Panzarino, Lance Ulanoff, Ina Fried, John Paczkowski at their respective publications.
What I thought most interesting was the tacit admission that the 2013 Mac Pro painted itself into a technical corner, both in terms of thermal management and expandability. As author Gruber notes, the word "mistake" wasn't used. However, a lot of the discussion centered on why the 2013 Mac Pro failed to meet the needs of many prospective customers and what Apple would do to remedy that. Apple SVP Phil Schiller:
As we've said, we made something bold that we thought would be great for the majority of our Mac Pro users. And what we discovered was that it was great for some and not others. Enough so that we need to take another path. One of the good things, hopefully, with Apple through the years has been a willingness to say when something isn't quite what we wanted it do be, didn't live up to expectations, to not be afraid to admit it and look for the next answer.
Yes. What We Said.
I surmise that Apple has gotten an earful over the years since 2013 from its pro users about just what kind of Mac they really needed. That particular kind of pro design can often demand things that have been alien to Apple's way of thinking: a relentless passion for moving to the future. Moreover, it seemed, Apple was unwilling to acknowledge that certain pro users need to attach their own, special displays. The professionals have practical needs, and existing equipment in the here and now, that they use for their mission critical work.
That's why the 2013 Mac Pro, cool as it was for many (I am writing this article on one), didn't meet the needs of most of its pro customers. In order to do that, the new design will have to be state-of-the-art, but practical, upgradable, flexible, and have a mind towards the long-term.
In other words, "modular."
Again, Apple's Schiller emphasizes this in his comments. It's no accident that he uses the word "modular" twice for unmistakable emphasis.
As part of doing a new Mac Pro — it is, by definition, a modular system — we will be doing a Pro display as well. Now you won't see any of those products this year; we're in the process of that. We think it's really important to create something great for our pro customers who want a Mac Pro modular system, and that'll take longer than this year to do.
A New Hope
There is every indication in this dialog, presented by the five vistors to Cupertino, that Apple has learned an important lesson. Dictating to its pro users an iconic but limited design was a mistake. The result was that the 2013 Mac Pro was a single digit percent of Mac sales. I've seen numbers that approach one percent. That is, perhaps 200,000 units sold per year.
I think Apple executives sat down one day in a meeting, reviewed the pleas from technical and creative professionals, sized up the explicit desire by HP and Microsoft to steal the pro market from Apple, and concluded that the company wasn't ready to abandon that market. A re-imagined 2018 Mac Pro would have to be a glorious, advanced, modular computer that could be configured to meet the needs of many different kinds of users throughout their own growth phases.
Ports of Call
I'll go out on an early limb and suggest that, even in 2018, this Mac Pro won't go 100 percent USB-C. Competing products, like the HP Z2 Mini, have a mixture of USB-C and USB-A as well as explicit DisplayPort and Ethernet. One reason to go that route is that the pros aren't impressed by glamor shots that never show any cables. They know that they'll have lots of equipment to attach, and the fewer dongles, the better. Sometimes, IT intervenes and establishes restrictions that make a dongle impossible.
A major criticism of the 2013 Mac Pro was how ugly it got as one started connecting devices to do pro-level work. Apple, it appears, will avoid that mistake this time.
Routine pro needs like Ethernet ports, a security slot and an audio port—just so messy when you're trying to be ultra-cute—will likely be retained at first to avoid bad perceptions and grumbling.
That doesn't mean it can't also be beautiful, in Apple's way. But this time, I'm betting, form will follow function. And now, a new, exciting journey will begin as we come to learn, over the next year, more and more about our New Hope Mac.
For now, from what we've heard Apple executives affirm, there can be great joy in Macville.

In the years Beyond Boobs has published "A Calendar to Live By," the annual calendar has remained a symbol.
"It's a symbol of hope and inspiration, because it's full of stories of survival," said Vicki Vawter, the organization's marketing and events manager. "And that's really important when you have such a horrible disease like (breast cancer). You want hope, and you want to see that."
Beyond Boobs unveils the 10th edition of "A Calendar to Live By" at the 10th annual Pink Carpet Gala on Sept. 17. The 2017 calendar models, all breast cancer survivors diagnosed with the disease at or under age 50, will be the evening's special guests.
"Our mission is to improve the lives of young women diagnosed with breast cancer," Vawter said of Beyond Boobs, a Williamsburg-based nonprofit.
The Pink Carpet Gala raises funds for the organization and, in launching the annual calendar, promotes the Beyond Boobs mission to educate.
Each calendar contains "A Guide to Caring for Yourself," with information on early detection, breast cancer myths, coping, healthy living and wellness, Vawter said.
"It has so much information that we want everybody to know," she said.
The 2017 calendar, as the 10th anniversary edition, features the work of twelve photographers. It also includes remembrances of former calendar models lost to breast cancer, according to a Beyond Boobs press release.
The 10th anniversary gala promises both enjoyment and excitement with dinner, drinks, dancing, raffles and the usual fare accompanied by a Beyond Boobs announcement.
"They're going to expect to see a little bit of looking back, and a little bit of looking forward," Vawter said of the gala.
Bridges can be reached by phone at 757-345-2342.
Pink Carpet Gala
When: 6 p.m., Sept. 17
Where: Double Tree by Hilton, 50 Kingsmill Road
Tickets: $85, available at beyondboobs.org or by calling Vicki Vawter at 757-645-2649, ext. 6.

Remembering Mellon
15 comments:
Oh dear. So sorry for your loss. Mellon sounds like a character!ReplyDelete
I love Mellon's story. It belongs in a novel or inspirational book. I'm sorry for your family's loss.ReplyDelete
What a story! What a life! This hits so close to home for me after losing Red. It's like feeling the loss all over again. How does a herd move on? How does a bonded horse recover from losing their buddy or horse husband. Horses have such a deep sense of grief. Non-horse people would NEVER know that--or imagine it. I've seen it first hand--seeing it first hand--and you have and are, too. My heart breaks for you all, but thank you for giving him such a wonderful home and for giving him dignity and respect.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 04, 2017
He was a beautiful beautiful horse. He had a long, fulfilled life, who can ask for more?ReplyDelete
What a beautiful boy your daughters Mellon was, and how special to be chosen by such a smart opinionated talented guy. I love their story! Thanks for sharing his heartfelt tribute. I am so sorry for his loss.ReplyDelete
OH, a wonderful horse is the Fly-Away Horse--ReplyDelete
Perhaps you have seen him before;
Perhaps, while you slept, his shadow has swept
Through the moonlight that floats on the floor.
For it's only at night, when the stars twinkle bright,
That the Fly-Away Horse, with a neigh
And a pull at his rein and a toss of his mane,
Is up on his heels and away!
The moon in the sky,
As he gallopeth by,
Cries: "Oh! What a marvelous sight!"
And the Stars in dismay
Hide their faces away
In the lap of old Grandmother Night.
Eugene Field
Sincere condolences on the loss of Mellon; he was obviously a very special boy. I'd like to think of The Three Amigos now together again, trotting across lush open spaces & always in sunshine.ReplyDelete
That video has me in tears. Mellon sure went through a lot before he found the perfect home with you, and your daughter gave him all the love and respect he deserved. My Berlin is a 3/4 Trakehner whose dam was sired by Abdullah (have you heard of him?) I love that breed and used to go the the stallion approvals in Columbus, Ohio. I'm very sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend. So very sorry for your loss.ReplyDelete
Big hugs to you and to J. I am so so sad to read this but once again, thank goodness he found J and your home/farm where he has been the king ever since! That he lived with you for so long and was such a character well loved by his girl and his family of humans and horses speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing all the stories - such wonderful memories. It's just hard to lose them when they go no matter what.ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry for your loss and your daughters, what a horse. He had a wonderful life with you and your daughter <3ReplyDelete
I'm so sorry for your (and your daughter's) loss. He was beautiful and this is a great tribute to a horse who had a long, beautiful life. So many wonderful photos.ReplyDelete
Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Another beautiful soul gone and forever to be missed. Please give your daughter my most sincere condolences, and a hug for you, dear kind-hearted friend. May that big and bold horse always rest in peace. I loved hearing about Mellon's life. A force to be reckoned with...ReplyDelete
I am so sorry to hear that Mellon has passed. I have always loved hearing about him because there is just something special about horses who have a larger than life personality. I cried reading this post, your daughter must be heartbroken. It was lovely to hear all about his life. Thank you for sharing and again, I am sorry for your life!!!ReplyDelete
It's so nice of you to take the time to visit. I appreciate your stopping by and commenting on what I've written. Even though I sometimes don't have the time to reply to each comment, I do enjoy reading them.
