Doris Day Passed Away, Today

I was rather sad today, to hear of Doris Day’s passing. The lovely lady was 97, I do realize. She certainly has put in her time here and deserves to move on.

But she was an American icon. She represented a good, wholesome America to me and many others of my generation ~ an America we don’t wish to lose.

In reading about her today, I discovered she was both a Catholic and a Scientologist. A Christian and a Scientologist? Seemed an unlikely coupling to me.

Curious, I read up on Scientology. It seems that the religion stands on much of the same ground as I do and that the Christian churches only whisper about.

The fact that we people are not the flesh and blood body but the (soul) which lives inside the body. Further, they believe that we can leave the flesh body and reutrn to it.

Many of us live this; therefore, we know it to be true. Astral travel. A lovely experience. I find myself wondering if my husband will dream of Doris Day tonight or somenight soon.

You see, while I visit in my sleep, with loved ones, who have passed on, my husband often shares a dream with movie stars who have passed.

Somehow, I will miss Doris Day, even though I never met the lady. It was nice knowing she was around. But my husband? He might begin hanging out with her. 😉

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them. After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson. As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose. Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian. She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers. Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
