What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other. Eliot George - Mary Ann Evans (1819 - 1880)

"Just because you can do it doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's ethical, and doesn't mean it's legal." Former Democratic Judiciary Committee general counsel Beryl Howell [Boston Globe, 1/23/04]

• I have just added the menu at the top of the page. This is a lot of help when adding pages to this web site as there is only one file that must be changed and that is important when your web site has 100+ pages and is growing.
• I managed to convert the entire site to XHTML in May 2007 only to discover the end of July 2007 that I now need one more line of code in order for my pages to validate. This is quite an undertaking and I am really working on it! These people just keep changing the standard! About the time one believes they have learned something, it's time to make another change. Keep learning and having fun!
• I am learning CSS and writing style sheets. This will get your attention, for sure, because leaving out even one element causes the style sheet to cease working right there. It has been a challenge, but a good one because it's time that I took on a new project that caused me to do some thinking! Using style sheets allows me to change one file and effect the entire site without editing all 100+ pages. Just be a bit patient with me while this site undergoes some major redesign. I hope you like the changes as much as I do.
• I am converting all pages to XHTML from HTML. It is definitely a learning experience. XHTML is a much more strict markup language and requires more attention to detail than HTML. When I finish the XHTML conversion, I will have answers to many questions.
• Please visit Isabella's Castle when you have time. You must be very brave as the castle is occupied by vampires, bats, werewolves and . . .
• Have made some additional minor design adjustments to the entire web site. I sincerely hope that you enjoy the changes.
• Created a memorial to The Crocodile Hunter who departed this world due to a diving accident with a sting ray. Steve Irwin will truly be missed.
• Have not posted updates for some time, but am currently making minor changes as of March 31, 2006.
• Have consolidated all the holidays to one page to simplify editing. Please visit Holidays which will be updated as time allows. Thanks loads for visiting.
• I have removed my email address from all pages in an attempt to eliminate most of the spam. It helps to thwart those "spiders." Just visit the Contact Me page and fill out the email form. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
• Mary Magdalene is an elusive and mysterious woman in the New Testament. Join my investigation about her fascinating life.
• I have a beginning for information about World Religions. This is just a beginning and a page that will constantly be in flux as there is so much information available on the internet.
• Learn the Wiccan history.
• Learn the many Names of God and the meanings.
• I have just been presented some beautiful awards that have greatly humbled me. Please visit my Awards. I am truly honored.
• Added Christmas to prepare for the upcoming holiday.
• Added The Witching Hour to celebrate Halloween.
• Made a few design changes which are strictly in the layout. Please let me know if there are any spelling errors. Hope you enjoy the changes.
• Added the About Me page for the truly curious. *grin*
• Learn about Muse Calliope and Elysium Gates, then join this wonderful community with absolutely no banners or pop-up windows. It's great!
• Added Humor showcasing the comic strip ©Frank and Ernest on July 26, 2002.
• Redesigned the front page and the site background as of June 1, 2002. Change is a good thing. It is time for me to lighten up! *grin*
• Redesigned background for the entire web site as of April 2, 2002.
• Created The Candle of Friendship Net Ring on May 1, 2001. Join the ring and circle the planet in friendship.
• Created a Web Ring Listing on April 22, 2001.
• Shekinah was launched on this server April 2001.

Follow Your Dream

Follow your dream . . .
take one step at a time
and don't settle for less,
just continue to climb.
Follow your dream . . .
If you stumble, don't stop
and lose sight of your goal,
press on to the top.
For only on top
can we see the whole view,
can we see what we've done
and what we can do,
can we then have the vision
to seek something new,
press on, and follow your dream.
