The Golden Locket
It was a normal typical day, just like any other day. So I originally thought to myself; basically by the time I got moving around. The feelings would come rushing in so fast that I wouldn’t have time to distract myself from them. That dreaded feeling of doom would linger over me like there is no tomorrow as I got ready for work one last time. Thinking about the red dragon in flames falling from the sky destroying parts of China and in golfing parts of America in its wake. That nightmare of a dream, the last time I warned everyone and nothing happened I still get spray painted loser in big red letters painted on my door. So I’m going to keep quiet and not say anything because nobody will believe me anyway, no matter what I do it's always the same.

Water on The Brain
Water and the sand what a lovely plan. So many sandcastles. I want to focus on all the Beaches. I love the beach I go walk, ride and listen to the waves. My passion is strong and each week I will let my followers enjoy yet another vision of the waters as they live within the sea. All the members are going to love the tranquility of the seas. Focus will also be on the birds. The birds as they watch the sea. Pictures will be provided and comparison to other area of water. When I was young, I wanted to get married on a Rock on Venice Beach. That passion left me overwhelmed when my first finance got cold feet and I had to call off the New Year’s Day wedding. The passion also has to do with love of lakes. The Lake Mead in Vegas I visited with two of my husbands, but I went to Vegas with all three. When the heart throbs for the water. In my early twenties I went every Sunday to Marina Del Rey and took a boat ride with my little beautiful Spanish daughter, she had hair to her butt. Each time I went on my boat ride I had a cup of wine. It was the time of my life. I finally met me second husband and I told myself I want a boat reception. Yes, I did it I took a boat out San Pedro with 150 guests. It was weird no family member came. Well, my love for water did not stop to grow. Next, I went to Maui to check out those waters. Snorkeling and scuba diving came next. Hubby was a diver so after Hawaii in his ear drums almost bursting. We headed to Belize to see how clear the water is. Then we road on a canoe to the Historical ruins. Our final plan was to head to the Island of San Pedro. Where road is it was too small for regular cars. San Pedro was pretty and that led me to the Black Hole. The second time in Hawaii when tide was low and visitors minimal, I planned a sailboat trip. When we went to board the boat, it was amazing. Only be and my husband had the whole boat. When were out on the sea the captain let my husband get out and swim? All I can say is that it was amazing. All who follow me know that I love the water and the sea. I also love lakes and the animals who are there. Why am I unique. Well, when I was nine years old, I attend honor camp and one of the classes was swimming. The other girls they could not believe I could not swim. They pushed me in and I almost drowned. To this day I cannot swim. The last story to motivate you in my direction. The last day in Cancun we were scheduled for a dangerous water ride. We go up and headed to the event, but they did not allow us to go out. I went back to the hotel room to pack and told my husband you go ahead; my hubby was reckless at times so he went without me. Remember two he could swim like a fish. But suddenly, I heard ambulance and my husband had lost control of the water bike and almost drown. What would have happened to me if I went on that ride. I do think I could have drowned and died. I am motivated to motivate and I have many more water stories for my members…………..swim deep.

Olive Tree
According to Greek mythology (every religion is a mythology whether one accepts it or not), the creation of the olive tree was the result of a contest between Poseidon, God of the Sea, and Athena, Goddess of Wisdom (I love her), as to who would become the protector of a newly built city in Attica (the historical region of Greece). The city would then be named after the god or goddess who gave the citizens the most useful and divine gift. With his trident, Poseidon struck a rock and water rushed out of it, creating a spring of salty aqua, symbolizing his gift of sea power. Beautiful Athena struck a rock with her spear and produced the olive tree, an offering signifying both fruitfulness and peace. The citizens showed their wisdom by choosing Athena’s gift and she forever became the protector of the city, Athens, named after her. Even today, an olive tree stands where the story of this competition is said to have taken place. It is repeated that all the olive trees in Athens are descended from that first olive tree offered by Athena,” a goddess after my wooden heart. I want to thank R Tsambounieri Talarantas for reminding me of the olive tree and its Goddess Athena connection ((giggles)). But it is not funny, you may think. Actually, it is my funnest story about a tree, and I love olives, especially the Kalamata, the most nutritious olives on our pale blue dot.

the ecosystem of Armando H.
https://linktr.ee/armandoH220 the ecosystem of Armando H. I don’t have a huge platform but I would really like to change that. Most of my time is spent writing; poetry, short stories and the second novel to “the roots of a pine.” A three-book series, I’m looking to get edited and published.

Farm Girl in the City
Bye Bye Country Farmer I'm a Vancouver girl who grew up living off the land in the forests of beautiful British Columbia, with my gardener parents and a bunch of siblings. We brought orchard bins of fruit from the Okanagan and canned hundreds of jars each autumn, stored our own root veg in our underground cellar, and bought beans and nuts in bulk to supplement what we didn’t grow ourselves in our abundant garden. As soon as I was able, I made my way to school in the "city", and never looked back.

Mother of Plants
I LOVE PLANTS! Whether house plants, greenhouses or greenery in nature, I don’t discriminate. From Chicago to Atlanta, I have managed to create jungles in every bustling city I’ve had the pleasure of calling home. I am the self-proclaimed Mother of Plants, birthed from women of the same name.

The World's Oceans
My passion is the ocean. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the sea. I love the ocean smell, the salty tang in the air; the way an ocean can change not just from day to day but from hour to hour. Kevin Costner discovered the moodiness of the sea to his chagrin (and wallet) when producing Seaworld, his disastrous film of an apocalyptical world of water after global warming caused the poles to melt. As he found out, the sea has no mercy for people who take it for granted.
