Radio for a New Earth

Ok - I'm coming out of the closet. For those who don't know me well, I am metaphysical.
There - I'm out.
Deal.
In case you hadn't realized yet, new age is now mainstream. You don't have to be woo,woo to participate. Look at Oprah's programs with Eckhart Tolle.

There is a new radio station being birthed on the internet:
Maia Radio Talk Radio for a New World -metaphysics and new age and all. I can't wait!!!
Look at the gorgeous web page!
http://www.maiaradio.com/index.html

I've been listening to the podcast Stargate to a New Earth. Maia Radio is "a child" of this podcast.
For those of you who are sensing that something's different, something is changing in the world, dive in - listen to the podcast and keep checking in to the Maia site.

In other news, I'm through the ribbing on the Aud sweater and starting to lag in my Olympic Sprint. But I'm through the ribbing. ;-) Now the stockinette sprint for infinity + inches to the armhole decreases.


Below, the daring duo in all their furry glory hanging out by the carder, looking out the door early on a weekend morning -lazing until the flutter of sparrow wings launches them into hunting mode.

Furball left........................Bear right





Bear surveying the kingdom from the second floor, peering out through the walkway bars.




Speedy - he's the largest and the most chicken of the three. "I'm a ninja-cat. I'm not coming in.....
I'm,... I'm,..... a ninja cat. You can't see me!"





"See? You can't see me." Just then someone upstairs came out on the walkway. "AaaaaHHHHH!!!!!! Let me in! Let me in the door!!!!!! I see people!!!!!"

Joel Called! and - A Sad Day for the Fiber Community in Albuquerque.

Joel called - he got to San Diego in one piece. I hope he's doing well. He'll be in boot camp for 13 weeks. I'm so proud of him and will continue to be.


On a sad note - a wonderful needlework shop here in town is closing. I have knitted with a group there for three years. It's been so welcoming and cheerful. Great friendships and much learning has occurred there. We in the group will miss the owners a lot. There are economic and health issues that have precipitated the closing. I wish the owners well and pray for their ease and comfort in a very hard time.

It seems that creative interests always feel the impact first in hard economic times and this is one of the results.
My classes have seen fewer students as well recently. It's an up and down cycle and this is a "dip in the road."

That's it for now.
Knit on!
