Smart Design with Suzette Wall Art
By SUZETTE FOX
Thomas Merton said, “Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” Indeed, as a society, we are moved by great pieces of art. But has anyone ever tried to hang it?
Have you heard, “Hang art so that the center of the piece or grouping is at eye level?” But eye level is different for everyone. It’s not like we are all the same size!
Hanging Height
There’s no real hard and fast rules about the height you should hang pictures on the wall, but there are some guidelines and starting places that are proven and useful. Read More
Coaching Café: Self-fate
Coaching CaféSelf-fate
By LEANNE PARSON
In one of the latest Coaching Café at Legacy Now Lived™, we discussed self-mastery and how by resonating at a high level of energy, we can oftentimes attract what we really do want into our lives.
What holds us back from living the lives we desire? Some people attribute the lack of having what they want to fate – that their lives are somehow “meant to be” the way they are. Many people don’t like the concept of fate, however, because it negates free will. But what if the traditional concepts of fate and free will were not the only reasons we are held back? An unusual Read More
Pastor Granillo: Prayerfully Human
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOLos Alamos
Praying is one those things that, if we are honest, most of us feel or have felt very uncomfortable about doing, especially in public.
I remember the first time I prayed with my wife Trina; it felt about as natural as square dancing did in junior high. Perhaps this is because we’re not exactly sure what prayer is really for or how it is supposed to be done.
I mean, if God knows everything, then why do we need to pray? And if He doesn’t, then does He really have the power to do anything anyway? What are we allowed to pray for? Do we need to include certain words to

Mrs. Beadsley’s Jewel Box: Look At The Markings
By DEBRA LOWENSTEIN, OwnerMrs. Beadsley Vintage Jewelry
This month I’d like to discuss the importance of markings on vintage jewelry. I talk to many people who own, collect and use vintage jewelry in their craft and jewelry making endeavors.
I ask them what markings they find on this jewelry and they tell me they never thought to look for markings. The markings you find on old jewelry can reveal much, such as where the piece was made, when it was created, the artist or company that made it and the metal content.
To find the markings on an old piece of jewelry generally requires a loupe or magnifying glass Read More

No one is too small to make a difference!
Feb. 8, Los Alamos firefighters packed the parking lot at First United Methodist Church (FUMC) with their fire engines and rescue equipment.
However, rather than responding to an emergency, the firefighters came to celebrate. This past year the Young Disciples of FUMC collected pennies, dimes, nickels, quarters or anything they could get their hands on to fund a new ministry called “B3,” which stands for Bear Blanket Bags.
Along with the help Read More

Jesse Gomez of Bluewater is seldom seen these days without a dapper-looking hat. I strongly suspect he is the sharpest dresser in the entire Bluewater metropolitan area. The truth is, Jesse Gomez has worn many hats throughout his life.
He’s run an auto repair shop, worked for the State of New Mexico and worked in the treacherous uranium industry – but those were just day Read More

Have you ever wondered about the Scripture in Matthew, where Jesus Read More
