transforming soul whispers into mandalas and channeled messages of clarity, peace, and love
Artist friend and colleague, Nina Ventra, created this very powerful animal spirit mosaic sculpture, “Crow Mandala”, as part of her mandala series. I love the heavy earthiness of this piece along with bold use of colors and patterns, upon patterns. It looks like something you would find exploring Aztec or Mayan ruins.
How fun is this! Rocky Road Backpackers of South Africa posted this photo with their blog post promoting a friend’s project to build these beautiful chairs from old tires.
Yesterday an amazing thing happened…and it was 10 years and three-billion-miles in the making! NASA’s New Horizons did it’s closest flyby past the last known planet in our solar system: Pluto.

When I spotted these Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies on Elana’s Pantry’s site the other day, I knew I had to showcase them…mostly for sentimental reasons. My mom used to make these every Christmas; she was a fabulous baker. And when I was old enough, she let me help her make them.
Today’s MotD comes to us via Dolphins making and playing with bubble rings (toroidal vortices). Torenheksje uploaded this video on youtube.com that was originally filmed and editted by chiajungchi.
Continuing her travels in Morocco, my friend Michelle, visited the archeological site of Volubilis where she photographed this Roman mosaic of Orpheus and wild animals in the House of Orpheus, which dates back to 300 AD.
