The racehorse owner Lady Rothschild has died at the age of 83, her family has announced.
She died in hospital on Sunday having “fought a recent illness most valiantly”, a spokeswoman said.
Lady Rothschild ran Waddesdon Stud in Buckinghamshire. In 2011, her colt, Nathaniel, won the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
Born Serena Mary Dunn, she was the daughter of financier Sir James Dunn, and married Lord Rothschild in 1961.
She and her investment banker husband had four children and eight grandchildren.
I sit here on this day, fairly quiet house (child is rollerblading with some friends) and ponder what the upcoming days will both bring and what I will bring to them.
Today is my birthday. I am therefore more reflective than normal. I was greeted with cereal, a banana and a fig bar along with sweet cards from my girl and mate. I didn’t want any pressure on this day – just time to reflect. And no cooking. It continues to be a challenge to me to find that “ok” space within – being “ok” within when I long for the New. What can I do NOW to create something New. I have moments of desperation – just so that it is NEW. And yet of course I know to be consciously focused on that. I just know how powerful the longing is for the NEW.
I contemplated educational opportunities. I like to tinker with things. take things apart and put them back together. Small engine mechanics perhaps? Only if I don’t have to work in a toxic environment and expose myself to oils and the like. My mate used to do this. It’s unhealthy, he said. You breathe all sorts of crap. Then there is the tools I would have to buy to be one of those mobile type fixers. The old paradox – takes money to make money.
I know how to take apart hair dryers and fans – clean them and return them to new again. Would people pay me to do that?
I’ve run the gamut of ideas. Writer. Office worker. Preschool teacher. Accompanist. Waitress. Fry cook. All throughout my adult life I knew “NEW” was coming and I would or at least could be part of it. New ways. 15 plus years ago a friend told me it was time to think outside of the box. The old ways were dying.
Yeah, I had no idea the “dying” would take so damn long.
I go within and ask for guidance and as I said, it’s pretty quiet in there lately in this “make money/what do I do/where do I go now” area. And when I do go down that road, it leads to frustration. So I do what I have been doing – accept where I am now and trust that ONE DAY all that I desire and visualize and focus ON creating and experiencing will actually manifest before my eyes. At least a damn door will open, you know?
So I entered the living area after this morning pondering and was greeted by phone calls and messages online wishing me happy birthday. (and according to the rules in my head I am 22, btw)
What was the most special (and much to my surprise)? Getting my dad to sing me “Dark Moon”. He used to sing that song when I was a kid. Loudly. Totally out of tune. And I LOVED it. I remember one time when I was about 11 or so, my brother, cousin and I recorded him singing it in the shower. My idea of course. Our giggling busted us. I wish I had kept that recording.
He laughed when I asked but then I realized that hearing him sing that would mean more to me than any other birthday gift I could receive.
So he belted it out. My girl listened in as well. She laughed hysterically while I laughed and became quite emotional.
Sometimes doing what is most obvious for another on a day such as a birthday is not always the most needed gift. And sometimes knowing the gift doesn’t always nor have to come through thinking the question “What do I want to do today?” Sometimes the answer comes flowing through you, quickly, unexpectedly, but it aligns within and you just KNOW what it is you need to do, to request and have and what will bring you what it is you seek in that moment.
For me, it was hearing my dad sing Dark Moon. I don’t know why. But my heart did and that’s what matters.
Here are to many happy birthday’s to each of us ~ here and in the New.

editor victoria’s comment ~ i would say this is part of the plan. many stopped flying because of the draconian policies. we don’t need TSA…although those grandma’s with their dove shampoo bottles and mama’s carrying bottles with breast milk could still pose a threat…

Some Transportation Security Administration employees are quitting their jobs as the partial government shutdown continues through its third week, leaving more than 800,000 federal employees without a paycheck.
The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal employees, representing about 44,000 TSA workers, says some TSA employees have resigned, and others are considering quitting after working one of the busiest air travel periods of the year without pay.
“Every day I’m getting calls from my members about their extreme financial hardship and need for a paycheck,” said Hydrick Thomas, the union’s TSA Council president, in a statement. “Some of them have already quit and many are considering quitting the federal workforce because of the shutdown.”
It’s unclear exactly how many TSA employees have left their jobs since the partial shutdown began on Dec. 22. But a number of workers have described the financial burden the shutdown has thrust upon them as many depend on each paycheck to make ends meet. TSA employees are some of the lowest paid federal workers, and, in interviews with MONEY last week, current employees said they are delaying car and insurance payments, and worried about paying rent and childcare during this shutdown. Employees also said morale among co-workers has hit a new low.
Since the former World Bank President Jim Yong Kim abruptly resigned, President Donald Trump will now have the opportunity to appoint a new person to the role.
The Financial Times reported that Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump is being considered for the role. Her role in the White House has been under scrutiny since she took office as the president’s advisor.
A new president selected by Trump could change The World Bank’s priorities.
“A World Bank president chosen by the Trump administration could, in particular, try to limit its financing of projects intended to tackle climate change, as well as any work that is seen as supporting the building of Chinese infrastructure,” the report said.
It also revealed that people are “worried” about the new transition of power.
“I think frankly right now people in the bank are worried about how do we protect the institution,” former senior World Bank official told the Financial Times.
check out this UHHH WOW read. it’s a new image to my eyes. the alleged protective “bar” is all scrunched up – and broken – once again only in a new way. huge data gaps continue on the solar wind reads but last i looked the plasma level continues to be very low. that really has an impact on me. are we to integrate these energies? that’s about all i know how to do although this plasma stuff is a challenge so just accepting it as it is seems about all i really CAN do.
are any of you feeling this? at this point in this game i don’t understand how people are going out into the world each day and functioning “normally”. i had just a few hours of little kiddos over here today and that was enough for me. although i did not sleep well last night. i woke up at 4am wide awake. i’ve been doing that lately. took about 2 hours to get back to sleep. taking some magnesium but nothing seems to be helping. must be the energies. i did spend the time focusing on areas of tension in my body and did some forgiveness work with each area. anyway….the zombified state is every present again…..grateful for everything i do have.
it’s baaaaaaaaaaack. below the video is a photo i took of that same area just minute prior to this object appearing. check out the red/blue clusters (and the blue orb/object as well below the cluster of lights). it’s now over 2 hours later and the portal like anomaly remains visible….
Around 150 million people began a two-day general strike in India today against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s anti-Labour and anti-trade union policies in India.
Workers from both the public and private sectors were joined by teachers and students from across the country, forming possibly largest strike in history.
Below are a selection of AP photographs from today’s general strike.
Mumbai: Trade union activists demonstrate, march and wave communist flags on the first day of a two-day general strike.
i saw none of these little oddities when i took the pictures. i just go by my hunch that says “grab the camera and take some pictures.” sometimes there’s something there to catch.
the rainbow images. result from heavy metals in the atmosphere or one of the rainbow clouds people have been speaking of/capturing…i also thought the radiance of the sun was explosive…
taken today. if you are able to zoom in, you can see a couple of round/orb-like objects to the left of the sun. not visible to my eyes when i took the photos. i also like how the radiance of the sun gives a halo effect.
