TODAY'S PHOTO -
a composite. A Downy Woodpecker coming out of its nest, with a superimposed image of its head out and looking down.

I was so excited. I thought I had the perfect photo (the top bird) and when I downloaded it into my computer, I saw that it was blurry. I was most disappointed. My whole walk home I had been mentally planning to use this photo to wish you a good weekend.

Resilience kicked in when I realized I could both show you the head and present the section of the tree with the large opening where the nest is, along with a photo of the bird emerging (the lower image). As a bonus, the knot in the upper left of the tree stays as part of the tree.

With that "story", I'll present you with the thought that was buzzing in my head during my walk. It is my wish for us to come out of our cozy spaces during the weekend, if we so desire. Then look around, and enjoy, bringing in some new and different nurturing experiences to our spaces.

Given the challenges I had with the photo, leads me to also suggest that you inquire into ways that you overcome, or adjust to, the unexpected. What becomes available for you out of it? In my case, I experienced using a tool on my FIREWORKS software that I use for sizing the photos here. And I had some fun!

May your weekend be a great one.


TELECLASSES AND OTHER PROGRAMS-
being offered by Friends of PICTURE TO PONDER.

Once again there is a fascinating group of focus groups being presented by Artella - in this case 17! Participants in Artella's "Create Your Own YOUniversity" (aka YOU * U) program are presenting free focus groups to test out the eBooks,
eCourses, teleclasses, and Web sites they have developed over the past few months. eTeletours.com was launched one year ago out of this program.

All focus group participants receive a bundle of free thank-you gifts, and are entered in raffles for hundreds of dollars of valuable prizes. Even if you think you have not time for anything new, do go to FOCUS GROUPS to read all about them.

STILL OPEN FOR NEW REGISTRANTS -
A lot of excitement and miracles are happening in the 42 Days of Passionate Prosperity being offered by Julie Jordan Scott. Although it started on Monday, there is still time to register for this free Proven Program Showing You Step-by-Step How – "a dynamic, miracle manifesting group experience which gives you multiple choices to gain access to more abundance immediately." You can put as much into it, or as little as you wish, and you can, if you desire, catch up with audio online.
