"Ringing Of The Chimes"
Every year my friend and family ring chimes for our loved ones gone before us. It started the first anniversary of Jeremiah's death. My friend Lutgarde and I rang chimes (Because Jeremiah loved them) as a way to let him know we thought of him. A kind of music to heaven. But many friends around the world joined in support of my loss and the loss of their own loved ones. I would love it if any that wants to join to please do. We have all lost someone we care about at some point in our lives, ring for them or in support of someone else. Ring chimes, play music, or bang a pot on these times....

12:00 Pacific time (Tuesday 29th to Wednesday 30th)
10 am Pacific time (Wednesday 30th)
4 pm Pacific time (Wednesday 30th)
11 pm Pacific time (Wednesday 30th)

I ring mine for Jeremiah and Jonathan. I love you boys very much!

Kathy Keeling, Monroe & Louise Beverly. And in support of my friends for their own losses not listed.

Ringing Chimes

6 min read
Today is the 5th anniversary of my son Jeremiah's death and as every year my dear friend on the other side of the world and I ring chimes/bells at the same time sending a message of remembrance. There will also be a Didgeridoo in Australia, Conch “trumpets" on the coast of Japan, and other wonderful friends ringing chimes all over the world. If anyone would like to join for my Jeremiah or your own loved ones that have passed please do. It seems kind of comforting and beautiful that sweet sounds all over the world will be drifting to heaven at the same time. The times are..... today at 9 am pacific , 4 pm pacific, and 11 pm pacific.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my son Jeremiah's death. Learning to live again has been the hardest thing I've done. Months ago I would have thought dieing to be my only option and I almost succeeded. But when I was in the coma my son (Don't think I'm weird please) came to me and told me he wanted me to live, so I've started the long road back to the living. This anniversary I will not only morn his loss but celebrate his life and the years I was lucky enough to have him. My friend in Amsterdam and my family are going to ring chimes (something he loved) through the day, kind of "Music around the world" thing. Then at the end I will send up a balloon with a message to heaven. If any of you are near a wind chime or bell at any of these times......midnight, 9 am, 11 am, 4 pm, or 11 pm (pacific time) and think to give them a ring for your own lost ones or my son I would love that!

:star:Our first ringing was cold and dark but the early morning reminded me of Jeremiah. He loved this time of year with the cool weather and long nights. It reminded me so much of the last time I got to spend time with him it made me cry and long to hear him say "Love you lady". I wish right now that I could hug him one more time and do kissy face. (That's where I give him a million fast kisses all over his face) When he was little he would laugh and scrunch his nose up and when he got older he would patiently sit there and let me do it with a long suffering look on his face. But I knew he secretly loved it. God I miss him more than I could ever express!

A beautiful gift from a beautiful friend....thank you very much Penny!:love:

Good Morning

6 min read
Good morning everyone!

Just wanted to stop in and tell you all I haven't forgotten you. I've been very ill and just fighting my way back. I hope to be adding paintings soon and spending more time here again.

Love you all!
Tam

Have you ever wondered why you do what you do? When I got sick three weeks ago I had to spend time in the hospital and had too much time to think. I wondered if I was on the right track. I've read journals before where the artist asked "Should I keep painting?" and I always thought (I'm ashamed to say) that they were fishing for a boost, compliments. Please forgive me for thinking such thoughts because I find myself wondering the same thing. It's probably because I was so sick or maybe being away from painting for so long but I find myself wondering where I'm going with my art. I've never had this experience before. Painting has always been something I did like breathing, I just did it because I required it without thinking. I'm not fishing I promise, I'm asking.....have you ever gone through this? What did you do to get out of your slump? Throw me a lifeline please.
