This is very helpful info regarding successful blogging.  It really takes time and effort to create the blog and buzz that follows.  Read on.. So you want your blogging to build your business?

Thank you Joseph Domino 480-390-6011 for your original blog.  Fall is upon us. It will arrive officially at 12:21 pm on September 22. Fall is a season of transition. It is a time when the days grow shorter, and the weather begins to change. The long hot days of summer will soon be behind us. Here in Phoenix the change will be subtle. The average high temperature will drop to below 100 degrees for the first time in months. With cooler days ahead. Up north you will wake up to cool mornings where you can see your breath on your early morning walk. In many parts of the country the trees will begin to change, creating a colorful palette. Soon the leaves will fall signaling the onset of winter. We are not blessed with the changing of color here in Phoenix. We have to go up into the mountains ... 09/22/2021

Wordless Wednesday...Yoga For All On a recent walk, we came upon this dragonfly...lounging on the sidewalk near the garden.   Upon closer inspection, it looked as if it were practicing a morning of yoga. I suppose that yoga is not just for humans, is it??Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness. Indra Devi Yoga begins with listening. When we listen, we are giving space to what is. Richard Freeman 09/22/2021

Pictured above is a common sight whether you are taking the Padaro North exit of the 101 freeway, or heading South.   Around 9AM, there is a group of equestrians who cross the bridge heading for the beach. There is something really special about seeing horses running in the surf.  They look so happy as do their riders.  Sometimes, the polo horses join them.  They live very close by at the Santa Barbara Polo grounds.   Happy Wednesday to Everyone 09/22/2021
