A little something for my lying friends in our club:

Now its time for a dog:  Deputy Bandit

“At 12:47 today we were dispatched to 15045 Sidney Plattsville Rd., on a missing 3 year old. Deputy Bleigh and K-9 Bandit started the search at the front of the house and within 10 minutes Bandit had located the child. This is exactly why we have dog units, watching this track you could tell very well that Bandit had the scent of the child and was well on his way to finding him. I would like to thank Frank and Bandit for a job well done and it was so amazing to watch this unfold.”

Your eyes only see what you eyes want to see” are the opening words being sung by Sheldon Riley in the video below. Its a beautiful song and Sheldon is so powerful and soulfull performing the song.

Do your eyes see only want they want you to when viewing a tree? Can you see past the obvious and dare to do something far more risky? Do you care only what others might think of your tree? Can you push the Bonsai envelope and go where others will not? Close your eyes, open your mind, dream of the tree as you want it to be and then go do it!

Yes, I have been told I see trees that no one else does. Just ask my mentor International Bonsai Master and friend Larry Jackel.

If your going to dream, dream big, never give up on your dream or yourself! When your lied about and all your hard work is flushed down the toliet of life don’t ever give up. As of May 1st, 2019 this website “Colorado – Rocky Mountain Bonsai – Suiseki” has had over 70,000 visitors in just 31 months. Many thanks go out to the two liars who made this all possible. What you two liars destroyed has been rebuilt, bigger, better and more able to help over 70,000 visters. Thanks again to all of the visitors and of course my two favorite liars who released me from the chains of restraint. I have been set free to go forth and help others and most importantly its all free to the public and not hidden behind a members only section.

Susan Boyle is a perfect example of someone who never gave up!

Are you a bully? Any bullies in your Bonsai Organization? Are bullies driving away good Bonsai club members? Perhaps its time to step up and do something about bullies, I certainly hope so!!! Don’t sit there and be silent!!!  New 06-09-2017

 

Life is fleeting and so short. Why sow seeds of division in your organization? I have always found that praise, lots of humility and tons of heart felt thank you’s go a long way in building great teamwork and organizations. Here is a good example of it.  New 03-11-2017

 

Is your local or national Bonsai organization Divided or United??? Are you someone who sows the seeds of Division or Unity in your Bonsai organization?  New 01-29-2017

Division & Unity from ODD NY on Vimeo.

Is your local or national Bonsai organization “Fired up and ready to go”??? Can a single voice make that much difference in an organization for both good and bad? The answer is yes it can, it can either Destroy or Build up an organization. Choose your words carefully before you speak and the foundation of the organization starts to crumble and decay sets in. There are always ramifications for both bad and good things we say, lets concentrate on doing good things! New 01-29-2017

  1. I’m interested in the “Pine Manaement Theory” written by Greg Cloyd. There a total of 13 well written/detail orientated articles covering various Pinus trees. Someboy can to send me the articles? Any link to download in pdf?

  2. I’d like to sign up for email. Great website. Would consider making a donation but I don’t use PayPal?

    • Hi, I have added an Email Notification Form in the Header area of the website. You can submit your name and email address using it. You will receive an email every time something is new is added to the blog section of the website. Thank you for question. I have found PayPal to be very safe to use, in fact it has returned my money to me when I have run into a few bad sellers. Does not happen that to me, but once in a while it does and it nice to see PayPal looks out after me. I do not work for PayPal either. 🙂 Have a nice day.

  3. Tracy, you have other options to donate. Click on one of the credit card images posted & you’ll go to a page that gives the option to donate via PayPal or via a debit or credit card.
