August 7, 1924 - March 5, 2009
Carl Edward Kasemeier II, a man I met only a few times helped to shape this nation and my husband as he was his father and an army service man. His 26 year Army career included duty in the Philippines, Germany, Korea, where he received the Purple Heart medal for combat wounds, and Viet Nam. His other military commendations included the Meritorious Service Medal, Bronze Star, Korea and Viet Nam Presidential Unit Citations, Army Commendation Medal, United Nations Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge and a number of other service citations. He retired from the Army Infantry as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1969.
There is a sense of loss and confusion in this man that worked so hard to do the right thing and lost himself in his duty. A creative and charming man he also lost himself to right disease and alcohol. A man that provided a good home and many beautiful places for his family to live in and enjoy was appreciated and forgiven.
May all be remembered in love and appreciation.

Romancing The Money
"Nothing likes to be chased" Graciela Schneider. My mom was telling me the importance of wooing things. I've come to realize this includes money as well as life. They want to be charmed and enchanted just like everything else. I've been realizing that the way we treat ourselves and then our partner/lover/spouse is the way we treat and live with money and our lives.
Money and love have the same energetic frequency. It's just about giving and receiving who we are freely and easily. Are we wooing life and enjoying her company or are we constantly complaining and demanding that she behave in a certain way that meets our controlling and controlled expectations? Are we the Goddess Aphrodite loving, giving and receiving, are we Diana working with nature or are we stalking our lives and demanding that she do as we please? I'm taking full and complete responsibility for myself. Everything that is in my life is by the magic of my soul's desire. Sometimes I don't understand it, always it is fascinating and entertaining. I am present for my life and taking the actions I must do as they are presented to me. How I walk and breathe in the world is just that. There this no other if I'm blaming another for my reactions or circumstance I rob myself of the opportunity to live my life to the fullest.
