From Pillar to Post

Amazon Prime has been created by a woman, I am certain.  I can see her standing at her front door, tapping her foot and saying, “Dammit!  Christmas is in two days!  I ordered this gift from Amazon ten days ago, and where is it?  Where is it!!”

This woman has a doctorate in electrical engineering and computer design. She has written multiple programs, successful programs used by Apple, Microsoft, and all the big places.  She has written and designed for military and government. She even had lunch with Walter O'Brien.

Where is this gift, she wonders, as she grits her teeth.

This woman slams the door, and retreats into her immaculate home office, organized down to the very pencils on her desk which are sharpened and lined up line little soldiers.

She creates Amazon Prime.  Maybe, but this is from my mind.

I am waiting for a “Janome Hello Kitty Sewing Machine”.  I already have a monster Janome, weighs a good twenty-five pounds.  But taking it to my quilt club is nigh impossible, thus I have ordered this heavy duty but lighter weight Janome.

Tracking my sewing machine reads like this:

Tuesday. 3/21, 10 pm, package leaves seller facility, is in transit to carrier (FedEx).

Wednesday, 3/22, 5:34 am, package received by FedEx, in Rockford, IL. US

Wednesday, 3/22 4:10 pm, package arrives at FedEx in Ontario, CA, US

Wednesday, 3/22, 6:22 pm, package is received by FedEx Ontario, CA, US (?) 

Wednesday, 3/22, 9:23 pm, package has left FedEx in Ontario, CA, US

Wednesday, 3/22, 10:11 pm, package arrives at FedEx in Romoland, CA, US

Thursday, 3/23, 4:25 am, package goes out for delivery to Murrieta, CA, US, scheduled for delivery Thursday, 4:14 pm.

Well done, creator of Amazon Prime.  Well done, FedEx.

Twelve Habits of Highly Successful Cats and Their Humans by Dulcy and Dee Ready

Dee Ready's blog about Dulcy


When it comes to pets, it is assumed that one is a “cat” person or a “dog” person.  Is there no middle ground?? Of course there is, for the essence of any relationship is based on the same basic principles;  love and trust, caring and giving are only part of the wonder of relationships.

In Dee Ready’s first book, A Cat's Life: Dulcy's Story, the reader is introduced to this relationship between the cat Dulcy and her human Dee Ready.  It flows smoothly, quickly into the world as Dulcy viewed it.  The love she had for her human involved teaching Dee exactly who was the boss.

In Dee Ready’s new book, Twelve Habits of Highly Successful Cats andTheir Humans, Dulcy explains what her mother Natasha taught her about having a successful relationship with humans.

The opening sentence: “We cats possess a wisdom far beyond mere humans.  Even my human, wonderful as she is, lacks my instincts.  That is why the habits I shall give you are so important.  They help us train these humans and make our life wholly satisfying.”

Perhaps the most important thing any of us can do in life is to “Find our Heartwish”. 
This is one of the Twelve Habits, but without this discovery, nothing else can happen.  Dee writes, “A heartwish pulls us forward, beckons us, centers us, endows our life with meaning, provides vision for the journey…our heartwish makes us unique…”

If one thinks this is simply a book about a cat and her owner, think again.  This is a book that delves into the importance of building a life-long relationship with another being--cat, human, whatever.  It is not a matter of ownership--it is the essence of love.
Dee and Dulcy shared much, and then shared it with readers.  If one adopts these twelve habits, then life will be fuller, better, and then blessed with love and memories.  Such a relationship endues the world with a glow, a North Star to follow.

I encourage all who read this to buy Dee's books, available as soft-cover or e-book.  The link is:The Twelve Habits....by Dee Ready
