The Tower card: ready to check out the view?

FREEDOM and MOVEMENT.   THE TOWER, which reminded me of the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy, is associated with healing, renewal and destruction of old forms…  pretty much the stage I’m IN on Shana Tov 2011: 5772.  My sun and moon tarot card by vanessa decort shared what I am going to share with you now… “if we do not release ourselves, the pressure will mount until something erupts”…. wow don’t I feel that coming!!!  “Often indicated in misleading speech, chaos, or opening of the eyes.”  

The card shows a few elements: “Lightning releases us from delusions and illuminates wisdom, mysteries and structure”; this is what I am compelled to share: WISDOM,  ADVENTURE and STEPS ON HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT!   “Fire burns away the old forms and useless conditions,” thank God for FIRE!   Here comes NEW CREATIONS!

Peiis the Hebrew character symbolizing the mouth and represents communication …  ready to see and hear from Laurie Sue Weitzman Rodriggs?  

Where is Laurie now?  Want to learn from where she has been and her experiences?

This also reminds me of the incredible tribute to our firefighters, with San Francisco’s Coit Tower, locally known as the last erection!   

I’m thinking it would be a great day trip to race the steps… anyone interested in a challenge?    A system of wooden and concrete stairs and footpaths, called the Filbert Steps, lead to the top of the hill from various directions, making a steep but direct climb.  Then there is the elevator to the top for the incredible views.  Email me if you are UP for checking out the views!  $7/adult open daily 10am-6:30pm.    The Coit Tower is built on top of the 87m/285ft high Telegraph Hill, which is situated between Fisherman’s Wharf and the Financial District. Surrounding the tower is the Pioneer Park. It was bought in 1876 by some businessmen to protect the hill from development. They donated it to the city on the premise that the area would become a park.     The Coit tower can be reached by walking up the Greenwich steps or via the scenic Filbert Steps at Montgomery Street. The tower, which stands atop Telegraph Hill in San Francisco’s Pioneer Park, offers fantastic views of San Francisco.

Have you truly lived your life? Is Sailing on the BIG Bucket list?

Inspired to share my past experiences and world travels, I hope to motivate others to live life to it’s fullest and join me in upcoming events to improve your personal lifestyle.  Yes, this is about all five elements: earth, water, fire, air and spirit;

Want a life sailing into the sunsets?

mind, body, soul … and everything living! 

Could you say: “I have truly lived my life?”   If you had only a handful of days left on the planet, what would you want to accomplish and experience?    For me I want to return to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef  with my husband Dave, daughter Courtney and a handful of incredible friends to travel by yacht, sailing the tourqouise waters and exploring both the islands, cays and ocean blue.  I personally have heightened concerns with the quality of toxicity in our environment and species survival and thus plan to explore it while it still exists.  I’ll share with you soon, some photos of why this is a place worth personally exploring!
