When I was a kid I wanted one of those BIG multicolored beachballs. I never got one. I've always wondered why that is one thing I remember, with a still lingering sadness from childhood. So many terrible things happened to me while growing up{and nice things too!}, but even if I got a Big multi-colored beachball now, it just wouldn't be the same. When I see them the poingnant longing returns ever so strong, but very briefly, but the child is grown up now and Big multi colored beachballs will never feel the same.  IP: Logged |

Fayte
Start with a small multi-colored one, the younger you become (in your mind) the larger and more beautiful the beach ball will become.  (Not only that, but you'll have the where with all to recognize good stitching!)IP: Logged |

I know this is all happening only in cyberspace, and who knows if I'll ever meet any of you in person, but this is all so very nice and sweet! It reminds me of when I took The Dale Carnegie course, and got over my fear of public speaking. And also when I helped teach a 16 week session. It's been a long time since I felt like this! Blessings upon all of you! IP: Logged |

Fayte, your post got me thinking about clowns of all things. I've always associated beach balls with ferris wheels and carnivals. I never felt comfortable around clowns. when everyone else laughed I would sit there and cry out loud. My mother used to say that clowns almost killed her daughter. No amount of cotton candy would get me to stop. I found them so tragic that my mother would do anything to keep me away from them. They still break my heart. I can't bear clown dolls, photographs or pictures either.It's been a long time since I thought about that and your post about beach balls did it. How weird is that? Gia IP: Logged |

Oh yeah those dolls, I cleared a house once that was filled to the brim with antique dolls and the energy around them was so thick you could cut it with a knife. I remember I picked up this really beautiful doll and just held it for couple of seconds whilst I moved it away. The doll just flew out of my hands, across the room and rolled under some furniture. I won't tell you the rest, but needless to say it was wee bit spooky. I will allow no antique jewellery, mirrors, cutlery or dolls in my house. The worst is jewellery with strong emotion attached to it. Wedding or engagement rings are really infused in a magnetic nature. Can you imagine wearing someone else's life around your finger? A tragic marriage, a widow's torment? My friend Ruth purchased an antique ceromonial necklace. She didn't tell me what it was because it was a test, but I knew the moment I held it. The impressions were so awful, really violent and angry. She knew something was up because she felt so ill everytime she tried to wear it. I mean really ill. It was a very thick oriental metal embossed symbol with a strong silk rope attached. It actually belonged to a male which surprised us both. It cost her a fortune, however luckily she understands the importance of not passing it on. It is to be thrown into the sea for good reason. On an unrelated subject Philly, do you still wear those magnetic toe rings or have you given up on them? Gia IP: Logged |
