Hi everyone,
Thanks again for such a warm welcome. I am really excited about learning from so many well read individuals. After reading through some of the past discussions, I can see that my learning experience will likely be amazing and deep. I can't wait to stretch out my brain in an attempt to absorb it all.
Hi Slyde, Oh I do love my life. I have worked very hard to reach for the simple enjoyments and things that help me grow in love. I have had some very difficult challenges - or as my mom would say - powerful learning, that have defined my path and made me truly grateful for each moment here.
Hello JB, glad to hear from you. The fishing has improved greatly here due to forward thinking, hard work, and good conservation behaviors. It is definitely a cooperative effort that has resulted in a huge success this year. I am a strong believer in "catch and release unharmed" fishing. I only keep what I can eat and sometimes will gather surplus fish for the White Center Food Bank here in Seattle. It depends on how strong the run is as to whether I keep fish for the food bank. This year the pink salmon are here in such numbers that the Army will have to clean up the bodies up river if we don't retain enough catch. It will actually become a biological hazard of dead fish up stream if we don't keep a bunch of them. Now that is a success story gone wild.
Hi dirtqueen, Carnation is so beautiful - and there is certainly good fishing there too. I am very interested in getting to know my local U.B. community. The Fall City mom was at my summer social party on Sept. 5 and I got to meet two of her wonderful children. I study with the Mercer Island group - extremely smart people, I have much catching up to do to keep up with those brilliant minds. Very fun. I also met a few folks from the Puyallup reading group. Everyone I have met up here that reads the U.B. are so amazing and kind hearted. It is a true joy to see so many people living in such a loving and truth seeking way.
