September 7th or 9th month? September has as its base Septem meaning seven in Latin. Seven representing heavenly and divine. Later it became the 9th month when two months were added to the then Calendar. Nine representing wisdom and a season of vast possibilities. Nine letters in its name!

September The deep blue tone of sapphire its colour!

September  ending of the warm months and the beginning towards the much cooler. A change in seasons and therefore energies as well. O how we needs refresh ourselves, revitalizes our energies. As we allow what has served its time to fall,  we give space to shed,  reassess, and revitalise.

September 2022, what is certain is that you are alive and a part of it, and this make for a great celebration!  Another thing that is certain, is that each day is absolutely unique; it has never been here before, and never shall be again! So live and enjoy each day with glee, and celebration, with gratitude of heart and thanksgiving  etched in your soul.  May it be for you a Happy, happy September each and everyday!!!  written by ~ Lady Dawnecia Palmer

"Like the warmth of the  August Sunshine Eve 

May the Light and  Glow of lovely thoughts  

Linger and reside in hearts all day." ~ Lady Dawnecia Palmer

There is something about August that raises hope,  and generates a sense of fun and celebration; perhaps it is because we are heading towards  the last days of expected sunny days as the year rolls over to the darker cooler season.

August, illustrious, hallowed, distinguished eminent, respected, venerable are some descriptive meaning for the word august, also used as title for Roman Emperors.

August so named by the Emperor Augustus. He decide to name the month after himself.

Superb! July a festive month, season of sun and fun, holidays and sand, barbecue picnics, and fireworks!  

The month was so was named in honour of Julius Caesar, it was his birth month, renamed July when he died.

The lovely Larkspur & Water Lily are July's flowers, and Ruby red its colour.

The Month of July usually associates the spirit of joy of spirit, meditation and reflection. ~ Lady DP,2022

   Hello February written by Lady Dawnecia Palmer

Let us tippy-toe gracefully into this new year 2022. It is full to overflowing, bursting with lovely goodies.

To each is the promise of grace, overcoming opportunities, successes, victories, delights and much laughter.

With such lush promises we may feel to take our ease but, No, it is exactly the opposite that is required of you.

You already know the outcome, but be also aware that there will be bridges you must cross, lakes to paddle through, storms to weather, and mountains to climb.

However the promise remains true, the year is overflowing to bursting with successes, victories, delights and laughter for you. So never give in nor give up. But, seize your setbacks or moments of trials, as the very overcoming opportunities you need as your ladder to victory. Then climb high, and soar to heights of possibility!  Remember: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

~ Written by Lady Dawnecia Palmer, 2022
