Cairns are markers of an ancient sort. Over the millennia they have marked roads, burials, buried supplies, boundaries and countless other things. Here is a cairn to mark today as a special day – a marker for whatever needs celebrating, honoring or just a plain old mini monument to elegantly proclaim \’I was here!\’ Which …
How to change your experience
The key is to anticipate, to be in a state of thanks, a state of being called grace. Expectant, fired up about what the day will bring. When you are being \’excited expectancy\’, you will attract experiences equal to the vibration of these tessellating, radiating thoughts. This is the way to do it. Choose your …
