Welcome!

After attending the ground breaking ceremony in October, 2010, Mary Ellen Ipiotis was inspired to create a BLOG about the massive desert rose sprouting forth on sacred grounds in Sandoval County.

C'mon in! Please make yourself at home. Join me with your commentary, questions, stories, photos, video's, any information you would like to share... about the new medical center, the land it is on, the people and places in the area, anything you think people would like to know.

Mary Ellen is listening and will be on the look out for you ~

Pet Therapy

 

Animals that come into our lives quickly  become highly regarded and cherished pets. They can take over our lives while bringing the kind of joy and goodness that only a good dog or cat can do. It is a natural therapy just to be sharing the same space they are in at any given moment.

A well taken care of pet speak a language of gratitude that touches our souls in a way that is reassuring and comforting, non judgemental and uncondiional. The love and companionship of our pets is central to our own mental health and well being. It is a particular bond that remains in our hearts forever. The devotion is humbling and reminds us how precious their existence is in our lives.

2024

Here is to everything that makes you healthy and happy. To sweet dreams that come true and the skills and resources required to play it forward, to the presence of mind to figure out the challenges, what to do and what not to do. To finding ways of consistantly bringing our best forward and learning how to let go of things that do not serve us well. 

Here is to another year of life and every drop of goodness we can create and share and make us glad we had something to do with making 2024 a good year.

Peace 🕊

New Year New Opportunites

May the new year bring you good things in mind, body and soul. May you grow into your best most beautiful self and share your blessings with others in ways that make you happy to be alive. May everyday as much as possible present opportunities to be better, healthier and happier than the day before with effort to make life more livable and lovable because you exist. 

Time Goes By

Ready or not time goes on. Every second we exist time slips away. We keep track of our lives in increments of time. Experiences are measured and filed as plans are made dependant on the time. The moments we count and recall based on the time and date. Time is a measurment of what is, was and will be. The appointment or schedule is set and time goes by. May time be good to you and you to the time you have. 🕊

LIFE

 Elton John wrote; "How wonderful life is when you're in the world."

It truly matters that you are hear and now. The world is complete with you in it, even in our failings and acomplishments, the bitter and bad days and the days that make life livable, laughable and maybe even more lovable. Indeed, it matters and makes a difference in the scheme of things. whether we understand it all or not.

Good Memories

May the good memories of August lift you up and into September better for the wear and tear and shored-up with the hope that more good memories are yet to be made, enjoyed and remembered.

Liberty

A matter of fairness, peace, equality and harmony. No oppressive unfair restrictions based on unreasonable ideas. To manipulate people into mechanical like beings is a demonstration of ignorance, low-level thinking and often desguises itself as rightous, all knowing, anything but the ugly truths of the cruelity behind mistreating people and ignoring human rights and the need for decent, safe, peaceful living conditons. 

Liberty is a a necessary part of a free society. It is so important that many lives have been sacrificed in the name of preserving Freedom, Justice and Liberty for all.
