Gifts That Keep Giving

"Everyone has a gift for something,

even if it is the gift of just

being a good friend."
~ Marian Anderson

It is getting down to the wire for holiday gift shopping!

There is less than a week before Christmas and Hanukkah is now in full swing. 

Many people are now scrambling to find that elusive, perfect gift.

The gift that keeps giving isn't usually readily available at a store, however.

The perpetual gift is the present that will outlast the present and it often requires

more thought and insight as to how the recipient may benefit.

I have issued quite a few personalized gift certificates

so far this holiday season and suspect that the rush isn't over just yet.

And there are still a couple of spots available for my
Pre-Pay January Studio Classes.

“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

And Happy Holidays!

Ancient Aliens and Earth's Most Mysterious Places

I love "Ancient Aliens" on the History channel on TV. This full length introduction gives you an overview of the entire 2010 series.



Episodes are based on ancient ruins, mysterious electromagnetic energy fields, and advanced technologies that date back over 14,000 years. Evidence indicates that more advanced than that of ancient Egypt, these cultures are much older than any scientists previously thought possible. This fascinating and powerful series has changed my view of Creator, angels, aliens, religion, celestial events and spirituality.

Here's a fifteen minute segment from the one I just saw this past week, Ancient Aliens - Underwater Worlds HD part 1.
