When I realized that my other main blog "From One Who Almost Forgot" was branching out into more than the focal point originally intended, I knew that it was time to begin another blog. "...Almost Forgot" is a bit like eavesdropping on my meditations; on my dialogue and questions to and regarding That Which Is - the Divine. And, well, I wish to keep it that way. So, Jade Wind will be a place for these related thoughts that didn't quite have a home on "...Almost Forgot."
Jade Wind. Jade is a stone long considered one of wealth and luck and beauty. It symbolizes treasure in many places of the world (the Maoris of New Zealand, for example). Jade is also a nickname of mine. I won't go into the details of where that nickname came from, at least not yet, but it is a nickname that reminds me of my spirit. Wind is something I have always felt kin to. In fact, my last name means "of the Wind." Wind is also ever changing, ever powerful and always free. So...Jade Wind - a wind that brings luck, beauty, treasure and encouragement. A wind that changes our dreams into reality.
I'll begin by copying the thoughts from "...Almost Forgot" that belong here over from there. They will appear below this post as they were written on earlier dates. They will also stay as posts on "...Almost Forgot."
I hope you find these thoughts, feelings and words useful to you. May they encourage your own dreams - whatever they are. May they open the windows of your own wonderful spirit to ride on these winds of change and passion for living. And also, please feel free to check out or continue reading/following "From One Who Almost Forgot" as I will continue writing there as well.

Kerry, this is a beautiful new site, and a wonderful idea. I love the way that you bird walk with your thoughts, ideas and inspiration; and there's always an enchantingly welcoming feeling in all of your writing: that feeling of being invited to sit by the fire and share thoughts and ideas, so your "sit awhile with me" invitation is so very apt. Good luck with this marvellous new site. The way you share such gentle and bright inspiration is always a true delight. I hope the winds of luck and good fortune continue to bring all things good to you; and thanks, as always, for sharing such bright magic and inspiration.
