Dungeness Crab Capitol Of The World
I was born in a sleepy little fishing town on the Oregon coast…well, in 1963 it was a sleepy little fishing town, now it is a bustling tourist hot spot. Newport Oregon is affectionately known as the Dungeness crab capitol of the world, and for good reason. Newport averages around 16 million pounds of tasty Dungeness crab yearly – though during the 2004-05 season they saw a record 33+ million pounds of crab come in on the crab boats. The crabbing industry in Newport is the main source of income for the area, with tourism a very close second. It is such a big deal that there was even a spin-off season of The Deadliest Catch filmed here, titled Dungeon Cove.

The HoodooLady
Humanity seems to have lost touch with that which is truly important - the inner wisdom, intuition, and ability to create the reality that we REALLY want and the lives that we are meant to live. We have been numbed and dumbed down by society, by the technology that has taken over our lives and interrupted our connection with that higher source that begs us to pay attention to what it is trying to tell us. We have forgotten how to listen to what we instinctively know deep within.

The Little Black Notebook
Sarah walked into the old house and looked around. Dust covered everything, floral wallpaper peeling off the walls, and birds had come in through a broken window to make nests in the sconces. She wrinkled her nose at the musty smell and heaved a sigh, wondering what she was going to do with this mess of a house. The house had belonged to her grandparents and she had vague memories of visiting as a child, but had not been there in over thirty years. Nobody had lived here in decades and it was obvious by the appearance. The house had good bones but needed a lot of work to make it livable. She wandered from room to room, looking at old photos of people she did not know and the variety of knick knacks on the shelves. The Victorian style furniture had been covered in protective plastic, so it had been saved from the years of neglect.
