THE TROPHIA BUTTERFLY FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES NEW PROGRAM…NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!….This Foundation has been beautifying Key West for many years….Glorious gardens have been established to attract visitors and locals alike…. They have enhanced the splendor of Key West. The Board is now about to focus more on an educational mission. In short, The Foundation wants to raise awareness of what is happening to the gorgeous Monarch butterflies….for they are in great danger. Pesticides are eliminating the milkweed plants that are the only source of food for their larvae & the population of Monarchs has been severely impacted. It has been decided that the way to make a change is to start with our school children….The Foundation is proposing to create ‘THE MONARCH UNIVERSITY” an on-line tool that can be used to teach children about the wonders of butterflies and the dangers facing them. A Kickstarter campaign has been set up to raise necessary funds to create the first segment of the University & distribute it to schools thru the nation. Please checkout this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/913569062/the-monarch-university-game-of-monarchs. I implore you to contribute to this very worthwhile project. Thank you!!!

BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY LISTS….If you would like to be included in the Birthday and Anniversary Lists that I send out every month, please let me know your month and day by sending that info to me at kwlynda@bellsouth.net. There are special perks to being on the lists!!!!

PRAYER CHAIN…..Please continue to remember the following in your thoughts and prayers….the Family of David & Helen Banaszak…Marjorie Paul-Shook and Family on the recent loss of her beloved mother, Mabel…..Kristen Ryan and her family and the loss of her dear mother…..Julie and Bruce Paterson….Kathy Melendy…Michael Gillis….Kimberly and Cindy Tomai on the loss of their beloved son, Caleb….… Sue Ann Lima-Fitch, sister of Gail…..Linda Rysman …Kathy Russ…. …Jacob Gelt Dekker …Campbell Cawood…Allie & Susan Sonstein … Ron Burns …Kevin Gallagher…..Teresa Lawson … Zita DuPel ….

Remember, there are many reasons that we pray…not just for those who are ill…. I do believe that when we all send prayers and good vibes to those in need, those prayers mystically meet and surround those being prayed for. Sometimes we pray for miracles and the impossible….sometimes we pray to just cope with the results of what happens to those we are praying for. Sometimes we pray for strength to go on and to accept…sometimes we pray for thanksgiving. We are in this thing called ‘Life’ together….and we all have power within us to help our fellow man. Bless you for remembering our loved ones….Prayer changes things! Let me know if you know of anyone who should be added to this LIST.

THE LIBRA PERSONALITY…SEPTEMBER 24 THRU OCTOBER 22

On first meeting a Libran, your impression will be of someone who is charming, diplomatic, and eager to put you at ease. Harmony is very important for Librans. They hate it when tempers flare or the atmosphere is tense and they won’t relax until things are on an even keel. Librans like balance in their lives, although they desperately try to control the situation. It is calming and relaxing to be around Librans, thanks to their ability to put others first and themselves second…so you always feel special. Librans make you feel that you are the only person in the world when they are with you and that makes you glow inside. Librans rarely put their foot in their mouths and they also always look good as they put lots of effort into their appearance. They have instinctive good taste and prefer classic clothes to the latest fashion fads. Although charming, they also have a tough side, and when they aren’t pleased with something or someone, they have a very affectionate, way of letting you know. Librans are happiest when operating on an intellectual level. They always see at least two sides to every story and would rather sit on the fence than make up their minds. Librans do very well in areas of love. Librans have a powerful need for other people and they feel like fish out of water when they are too long on their own. They can be very loving, affectionate and romantic. They are hard to resist. Librans are much happier IN a relationship than out of one…they will endure a lot of misery and heartache rather than make the final break and be left on their own. It is easy to hurt a Libran’s feelings, though they will do their best to put on a brave face. Librans are known to fall in love with love…they are hopeless romantics. They are also very idealistic and prefer to see only the good in others. They often turn a blind eye to their partner’s faults. They tend to put their beloved on a pedestal and are crushed when this person disappoints them and reveals that they are human after all. The best signs for a Libran are another Libran, Leo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Taurus.

Librans enjoy the high life and need plenty of money to afford it. They want a good job that brings in lots of cash. They prefer to be a part of a Team rather than to work alone. Professions they are good at include diplomacy, fashion, beauty and music. They love spending money on themselves and those they love…. What they really would like is to inherit a fortune or win the lottery!!!!

WE LOVE OUR CHARMING LIBRAN FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS!!!!!
