MANDALA

This breathtaking work of art is here for no other reason than the fact that it’s my blog and I’ve always thought they were beautiful. :grin:

This magnificent sand mandala is known as The Kalachakra.

They are maps of the universe and the meditative mind. Both primitive and exquisite, they are painstakingly created by hand, according to Buddhist tradition, with colored sand, using funnels and scrapers until the pre-determined pattern is achieved. Once finished, the mandala is destroyed, symbolizing the transitory nature of things.

Absolutely gorgeous.

I’m blogging at the Chicas site today, with information about next week’s CONTEST.

Come and play!! :waving:

SCAM

“I don’t know how many of you shop at WalMart, but this is how I became a victim of this scam…

Two seriously good looking, well-built cowboy-type guys come over to your car as you are loading your purchases. They are both shirtless, and start wiping your windshield using a rag and Windex, displaying their highly-defined chest muscles and rock-hard abs. It’s almost impossible not to watch! :razz:

When you offer them a tip, they say, “No”, but ask you for a ride to another store instead.
You agree, and they jump in the back seat. On the way, they start talking dirty about what they want to do to you. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and begins kissing your neck, and begs you to pull over so he can :humping: you!

While all of this is going on, the other guy steals your purse. :sad:

Forewarned is forearmed.

I had my purse stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday, again on Saturday, yesterday, and most likely will tomorrow.” :yesyesyes:

GOOD CAUSE

If you’ve dropped in during the past week or so, please forgive me for not blogging, or for not visiting your blog if I usually do.
I lost someone very dear to me this past weekend.
No details, no point. I didn’t really feel like whining here, nor did I feel like making the effort to appear cheerful when it was the last thing I felt.

Regrouped. Returned. Moving right along…

To support Brenda Novak’s Juvenile Diabetes Auction, The Southern Fried Chicas have donated a gift purse for Brenda’s auction. The purse will include HANDS ON by Amie Stuart, HOWL an anthology with Raine Weaver, Jet Mykles and Jeigh Lynn, and DEADLY MISTAKES by Denise McDonald, chocolate, autographed bookmarks, biscotti, cocoa and a mug, as well as our ebook titles on CD (all PDF): Let’s Pretend by Raine Weaver; Incubus by Raine Weaver; Once in a Blue Moon by Amie Stuart; The Big Girl’s Guide to Buying Lingerie by Amie Stuart; Her Passion by Denise McDonald; Talk Dirty To Me by Michelle Miles.

Amie (aka ‘The Terminator’) has also donated an autographed copy of Hands On and a critique.

It’s for a VERY worthy cause, and even if you aren’t interested in the Chica’s offering, there are many others there. Please browse through if you get a chance!

And speaking of the Chicas

We’re whipping up a different kinda contest, possibly for next week, and hoping everyone will stop by to play.

I’m there today, and not giving away any details whatsoever. :waving:
