JASMERE

Meet John Reburn, a local artist and friend of mine. John is the owner of Roanoke Valley Printworks. His passion is letterpress and he is very good at it. If you love hand-pressed stationery, go to www.jasmere.com TODAY. John is the featured retailer for the day and the deal is a very, very good one.

You will receive 36 units of hand-pressed monogrammed stationery. Choose a single letter, and Roanoke Valley Printworks will hand-emboss it to 36 note cards and matching envelopes, using the thickest, most elegant ecru paper you've ever seen. The price is outstanding, and can get even lower as the day goes on.

Jasmere seeks out lesser known specialty retailers that deserve national attention. Their team of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC based shopaholics personally test every product they feature, using jasmere's negotiating power to offer you an exclusive discount. But don't let the low prices fool you. Every merchant they feature on jasmere meets their highest standards of quality. You may not have heard of these websites, but you can be sure their products and services are the best around. They guarantee it.

You can read more information about jasmere on their site, www.jasmere.com

At the price these are being offered for TODAY, you can afford to purchase gifts for those special people in your life. Knowing that you had them special made will make them all the more meaningful. I just placed my order. Once you go to the jasmere site, you can sign up to have a daily email sent to you letting you know what the special of the day is.

John does exceptional work ~ I can guarantee that!

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
