New Home in Nebo NC - nebo

Well, we are settling into our new log home quite nicely.  We have all communications now with telephones, internet and cell phones work here too now (with the additional of a cell phone booster from Verizon).  Getting into the decorating now.  Come see us!

Hey!  We moved into our new log home on January 30 2009 and we love it!  We are having some phone challenges getting the phone and internet lines run to our house, so that will be resolved soon.  If you are in the area, come on by!  More photos to come....

Yahooooo!  Today the power was turned on and we have LIGHTS... and the heat pump was installed so we have HEAT.  We are soooo close.... 2 more weeks and we should be MOVING IN!  It actually looked like a REAL house with lights!

We are getting closer to moving in - just 2-3 weeks!  Most of the lighting is in, the plumbers are coming this week, he gas tank is being buried, the kitchen counter and bathroom granite countertops are coming this week.  We're almost there!

Everything is coming along smoothly.  We expect to be in the house before the end of January, so we are very excited!  Plumbing and lighting is on site and in progress of being installed.  The wood floors have been finished and all is well, for which we are very grateful!

We had a picnic for our first Thanksgiving at the house today.  Even though we are weeks away from moving in, we can still go there and have a picnic!  That felt GOOD!  We napped on the back porch in the sun.  Now, that really felt good... in the absolute quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the windchimes we have hung in the woods around the house.  Fantastic!

We took a trip to Spruce Pince NC yesterday (only about 20 miles from here) and visited www.BarkHouse.com to pick out a beautiful 10 piece section of Locust wood.  It has a very unique knot on the front which we are going to center on the fireplace.  We got to watch the craftsman cut the wood for us.  It was fascinating.  We can hardly wait to see it installed as the mantle... and there is some wood left over for Dennis to make tables or something else.  We wanted to find some local crafstman with local wood - and we DID!  Yay!  See all the pictures!

Woooohoooo!  We have a well for water, new red oak hardwood floors and some new special custom windows!  Take a look at the new pictures!

The house is coming right along and is actually locked now.  It will be stained on the outside soon.  We are having locust log rails on the porch.  We met with the cabinet maker who will  be making our custom cabinets for the kitchen, kitchen island and bathrooms.  Very exciting!

Today we released birthday balloons from the house in memory of Brian Michael's birthday - October 9.  We know Brian would love to visit this house and we miss him with all our hearts.  We love you Brian.

We have the guest bathtub and the Master bathtub... both soaker tubs!  I just couldn't wait to get in them as you can see!  Now, I can hardly wait for water!  We also have some of the tongue and groove walls now.  Yay!

We met with the plumbers, electricians and HVAC contactors yesterday and today we see evidence of their work - lots of wiring and pipes and one of the bathtubs - all very exciting to see!

All the shingles are on and we have rails on the back porch except for where the steps will be attached to go down to the patio below.  The front porch rails will be special cedar or locust logs so they will come a little later.  Soooo exciting!

Well... we have SOME shingles... the last two pictures show shingles on about half of the house, so over the next day or two we will have a completely shingled roof!  Yay!  We're getting closer and closer!  Thanks for visiting!

Yahoooo!  We have 4 wooden slider doors installed in the basement, 2 eight foot french doors at the back in the great room, 2 wooden slider doors in the master bedroom and guest bedroom that lead out onto the back porch and deck.  We have WALLS, or at least the structure for the walls, inside, and we have STAIRS to the Loft and to the basement.  Today is the first day I have been able to walk up to the loft.  That is where my office will be.  Even the potty room in the master bathroom has been roughed in. That is Dennis standing in there. Yahoooooo!

Hello friends!  We have windows in most of the house now.  Notice in the peak at the front and back you will find an arrangement of 9 windows.  That is my special design and it has special meaning to us.  The roofing is next so soon they will begin working on the inside walls and cabinets, etc.  We still have about 4 more months of building.  I'm ready to move in!

Look for a waving woman in purple on the porch.  Wow, that was fun swinging my legs from that high back porch!  Click on the picture for a closer view!

On Saturday we drove out to the house and I said, "I sure do wish they worked on Saturday" (thinking all the while that they do NOT).  When we got there were saw a new roof line on the left side of the house, and we realized they must have worked a half day on Saturday.  Ask and receive! 

Today the builders started raising the roof!  Stay tuned.  Yahoooooo!

We were very excited today to see the loft has been framed with massive beams.  It gets better every day!

We were excited today to see the main log walls of the entire house are completed.  Yay!  We decided to have tongue and groove walls throughout the inside of the house.  No maintenance!

Wow, it was so exciting when we drove up the new house location today.  We watched the builders stack logs as they built the sides of the house.  The porch and deck is almost done on the back of the house.  Stay tuned!

Hello dear friends,

I am truly giddy with Joy as I write to you this morning and I am so happy to share a personal update with you.

We are LIVING our own Law of Attraction dream right now as we have allowed events to unfold that have led us to where we are now.

You may read the whole story at my blog here:

http://lawofattractionsecrets.com/blog/law-of-attraction-in-action

Last year I replaced my husband's income so he RETIRED one month ago and he is now becoming more active in my online businesses and even starting a couple of his own.

We get so many inquiries about how to create a full time income from home that we have started a new blog specifically for the purpose of offering Home Business Consulting to help individuals choose a business that is perfect for their needs...

http://MillerVentures.com

Ten years ago I met Dennis online and within 6 months I had moved from North Carolina to Michigan to marry him.  We always said we would eventually move back to North Carolina and we trusted God and the Universe to line it up for us.

We moved from Michigan to North Carolina two weeks ago and we are having the greatest time settling into our new temporary home - our RV at a small private campground right beside the river - while we wait for our new custom log home to be built here in the North Carolina mountains.

The river is wide and shallow and we can walk in it.  Tubers float down the river effortlessly like it is their own private "lazy river" like you see at hotels. 

Cranes and blue herrins stand in the water with their long legs and catch the fish as they swim by.  Many varieties of birds entertain us throughout the day and serenade us in the mornings as the cows and horses provide an example of being in the "now" in the field on the other side of the river.

At the river we find tadpoles and mussels and minnows and tiny little snails in black spiral shaped shells attached to the rocks.  There are  MILLIONS of tiny little toads or frogs - only one half inch long.  They are jumping everywhere!

Our camping neighbors are all semi-permanent and so friendly and helpful and we feel very safe here.

Our log home is scheduled to be completed around the end of this year and I know it will be completed in perfect timing.

I am grateful for every moment of every day as we settle into our new relaxing lifestyle here by the river and anticipate the completion of our new log home.

If you find yourself near Marion, NC give us a call and come on over!

Many blessings for your prosperity and well being.

In sincere appreciation,

What can we do to insure a proper pH balance in the body? Diet is
probably the single most important factor in maintaining a proper pH
balance. To assure a proper pH balance, avoid consuming excessive
amounts of meat, alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, coffee, most nuts,
eggs, vinegar, sauerkraut, ascorbic acid, cheese, white sugar and
medical drugs. Instead, eat more ripe fruits, vegetables, bean
sprouts, water, milk, onions, figs, carrots, beets, and miso.

Byron Katie became severely depressed in her early thirties. For almost a decade she spiraled down into depression, rage, self-loathing, and constant thoughts of suicide; for the last two years she was often unable to leave her bedroom.

Then one morning in February 1986, she experienced a life-changing realization. There are various names for an experience like this. Katie calls it "waking up to reality."

In that instant of no-time, she says,

I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn’t believe them, I didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always.

She realized that what had been causing her depression was not the world around her, but the beliefs she'd had about the world. Instead of hopelessly trying to change the world to match her thoughts about how it should be, she could question these thoughts and, by meeting reality as it is, experience unimaginable freedom and joy. As a result, a bedridden, suicidal woman was instantly filled with love for everything life brings.

Katie's process of self-inquiry, called The Work, didn't develop from this experience; she says that it woke up with her, as her, that February morning in 1986. The first people who did The Work reported that it had transformed their lives, and she soon began receiving invitations to teach the process publicly.

Since 1986, she has brought The Work to hundreds of thousands of people across the world, at free public events, in prisons, hospitals, churches, corporations, universities, schools, at weekend workshops, and at her amazing nine-day School for The Work.

Thanks for the poem - I like that one.

Here is a verse that I think is most appropriate:

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will.
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But soon or late the man who wins,
Is the man who thinks he can.

In Love and Light,

J C
