Wise Words from Dolly: Rest in Peace, Michael

Leave it to Dolly Parton to cut to the chase and remind us all of what's really important. I think this woman really IS an angel.

Spending yesterday with my mom was nice, and turns out, my younger sister was off work, too. I'm so lucky to have a great family who listens and loves and doesn't judge and always supports me. I don't know that I've resolved anything that was worrying me, but I guess I'm getting there. I know there's a lesson in here somewhere, and I'm trying to learn!

Peruvian Shamans Send Good Vibes to Obama--and Michael Jackson

Interesting little tidbit. Seems a group of Peruvian shamans are blessing Obama and others in their regular rituals. The story says the shamans went to the highest point in Lima for the cleansing ritual, which included blessings not only on Obama but also Bolivian President Evo Morales, Cuban President Fidel Castro, among others, including the King of Pop Michael Jackson.

You can watch a video of the actual ritual here.

Of course, I'm intrigued, but upon seeing the video, it all looks a bit staged. But these so-called shamans have done this before. Before the recent U.S. election, they held a ritual to bless both Obama and McCain so that the best candidate would win. At least they're nonpartisan shamans.

But who am I to judge? As long as they're sincere, fine with me. We need all the help we can get! (I'm sure Michael does, too.)
