By prayer we acknowledge God's power and goodness, our own neediness and dependence. Have a blessed weekend my friends. Regards!

Today is my BIRTHDAY!!! I'm officially 33. I finally took some self portraits yesterday and thought it would be appropriate to post one for my b-day. This pic holds great meaning to me...it's about my honest prayer for the coming year. I'm hopeful today. I'm ready to let go of all the hurt and emotional trauma I've been through over the past 13 years and believe once again in a MUCH better future. I'm praying today for healing, continued feelings of hope and finding inner peace and contentment.
Health Update - I found out last week that my lyme is actually gone but the thing that's still sticking around and making me feel so awful is Babesiosis. It's a co-infection that ticks can carry and is actually similar to Malaria. I knew in addition to being infected with lyme 13 years ago, that I also got babesiosis. I had some treatment for it here and there over the years but never enough to truly get rid of it. We were always so focused on lyme treatment that the Babesia treatment took a back seat. Mistake! A lot of people who get lyme disease also get this co-infection and can also get another one called Ehrliciosis (or Ehrlichia). Fun, huh? Not.
Anyway - I'm on a new treatment path now, I know my prayers and the prayers of many have given me this answer that I needed so much. Thank you so much if you've been praying for me!!! I truly believe it's helping to carve out a clearer path for me.
I've been in such a bad place lately with my health, I was afraid of my coming birthday and just wanted to cancel it. I didn't want to turn a year older AGAIN, being so sick with no answers...the thought of that was beyond depressing. Thank goodness for prayer, thank goodness for hope....I actually think I can do a little celebrating today. 33 sounds like a good number for things to finally turn around for me.
Jews from all over the world come to Jerusalem's Western Wall along the Temple Mount to pray. And while many of them recite prayers by memory or from prayer books, quite a few of them write down prayers on a small piece of paper, fold it up, and stick them between the cracks of the Wall.
It's an interesting ritual, but not unique -- in Cairo, I've seen mausoleums with the same thing. Though in Islam, writing these notes to people is purely shirk.
The best thing I saw while hanging out around the Western Wall was one guy attached his paper to a long stick and stuck the paper in between a crack really high up in the wall so it could be lodged in there for a long time. Smart guy :)

Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five: one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the five elements[2] and the Five Pure Lights. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to Traditional Tibetan medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of the five elements.
