Fog comes to remind us to trust.  Trust in our own soul’s wisdom and knowledge, and believe in ourselves.  Thank you God for that trust in all that is helpful. Fog reminds us that it may take a little more time to see the results we are expecting, so keep the faith. There is fog on these mountains where I live almost every day.  It creeps up the sides of the mountains from the nearby river and creeks and waterfalls, and then disappears when the sun shines through. Some in these mountains believe that the number of foggy days in August is the same as the number of snowfalls in the coming winter.  My belief is that we >>

Some of the most beloved events here in the Blue Ridge Mountains are the sunsets. And this year the sunsets have been phenomenal. The range of colors runs the gamut of the light spectrum, from reds, pinks, oranges, and yellows, to blues, indigos, and violets.  In this season of late summer, we include the foliage, which is predominantly green colored leaves, with tiny bits of yellow colored leaves beginning to make an appearance on the locust and poplar trees.  So the sunsets here in Western North Carolina, against the backdrop of the Nantahala Forest, is a “ROYGBIV” color palette, in artists’ terms.

So many blessings, so much Love! Visits and blessings >>
