well, billie, since you posted your note this morning the stock market has fallen over 300 points...so maybe we had better start adapting an attitude of gratitude for all the blessings we have been given, conserve our resources, both natural and spiritual, for a time of great change....and i don't mean that promised by obama! i mean the paradigm shift . many fear that because the mayan calendar ends at 2012 that it will be the end of the world, but others feel it is an important time of adjustment, like going through the skinny part of the hour glass. where will our treasures be?
