Change is good? Okay.

If you are reading this, then you know that THE DAILY HORK has been temporarily discontinued.

That was a hard decision, and I am not very happy about it right now. But I will look at it on a day-to-day basis and let you know what's happening when it happens.

A lot of things have changed...new owls, new cameras, new people in the chat rooms.

Nothing stays the same, thank goodness, but some things never change.  Not everyone is what they seem, and people sometimes do things that hurt other people. It's been going since time out of mind, and it is not in anyone's power to eradicate bad behavior or eliminate destructive or hurtful people.

So it's how one reacts to those people that requires change. Surprise should give way to acceptance. Acceptance should give way to direction. Direction can inform imagination. Imagination can create inspiration. And with inspiration, one can regain control. Not over others -  but over the world we create and live in and contribute to.

And so it goes. This is where my acceptance is going to begin. Let's see where my imagination will take us, shall we?

I will be adding daily thoughts, "editorials" pictures, and things that I haven't even imagined yet. This is all new, and so far, I have no idea what it will become.

I do know that I hope with all my heart that my friends will follow me, and we can share this little experiment together. I have had the most wonderful time getting to know you all, and I want it to continue. I hope you do, too.

Maybe Valentine's Day is the perfect day to start this. My heart can be here, instead of on my sleeve.

Smooches,

CAR

  2. Dear CAR, I don't know what happened but I'm sorry anyone hurt you. You, your humor, and your writing have delighted many of us for months. I didn't choose any of the poll options because however you want to continue is OK with me. I like this blog and at the very least hope you keep this up. Just don't leave us! OK?
    Hugs, Kate

  3. Dear Car, You are the best. I don't know how you did all that you do. I would be worn out. Whatever is best for you, is what I want. We love you CAR.

  8. Hi CAR...I just recently felt compelled to start posting. I have watched since M & M's 2nd clutch but I was leary about posting when I would read some of the hurtful comments being posted. Now I know from "listening" who has the dedicated and kind hearts. I will talk to them and not let the others keep me from the caring of so many. You are one of the BEST! Do whatever is right for you, just know so many care...some of us whom you did not even know about! {{{{{HUG}}}}}

  9. Hi Car,

    I'm glad you are going to have a blog site where all of us can keep in touch with you. I enjoyed "The daily hork" and the Youtube videos of the owls. It has made many people smile.

  10. CAR....I have enjoyed the The Daily Hork and hope we can keep in touch with you here, on the chat or the Hork at a later date. You've had our support and love all this time and please don't let those negative self-absorbed few hypocrites influence your decisions. Although I understand they can be a little overwhelming at times and we have to jump off and regroup. Catch our breath as it were. Kisses and hugs. TByrd

  11. Dearest CAR,

    You're a very entertaining party starter! You're always needed at all our gatherings or the party's not the same. If you want/need to start a soiree away from the Daily Hork or owl boxes, I'll be there as long as I'm lucky enough to get an invite! Just let me know if you need me to bring sumpin'! Can't wait to see how you decorate for this bash. I'm sure you'll go all out! I'll follow you where'er...long as it's legal! Enjoy your Valentine's, sweetness!

    Love from your Twin Sister (Christina SigP)

  12. Whatever happened, it must have been traumatic. I am so sorry to hear about this. I love your talent and sense of humor. Question: will you continue to make the videos that appear on the HORK Channel?

  15. Dear CAR,

    Thanks to you, I have come out of the shadows and have become a part of this wonderful place. I can't believe how I feel like I know so many of you already. You do whatever it is you need to do, and now we know where we can always find you. You do so much for everyone, I hope we can do the same for you. You are the BEST!! Hugs.
    PS. I hope you keep the videos coming! Love Them. :-)

    Love,

  16. CAR,
    You are one of the most dedicated Mod's and friends I have encountered since I started watching Molly and McGee almost a year ago. I greatly appreciate your dedication, sincerity and devotion to keeping everybody connected and informed. So sorry that there are those who do not understand and like to hurt others, but life is too short to give them overdue exposure. I congratulate and applaud you for the new blog. I don't have the time to post and lurk as much as I would like, but I am always checking in and trying to stay in touch.
    Much love to you and your guts.....

  17. Hi Car - I'm just a lurker since forever and have had the Daily Hork bookmarked since day one! Love it, love your spunk LOL. Your blog, your rules, wouldn't want it any other way - good times to follow for sure. The chat has changed for sure - almost posted again (did once before)- but the mood seems to have changed, not sure what has happened. Thanks for all the fun!! Marybeth PS: Chickens & Goats! what a great time LOL

  18. Marybeth - I LOVE the chickens and goats page! Makes me laugh all the time! Stick with me, sista... we're gonna have fun!

  19. Dear CAR~ I am saddened by whomever has caused you to be hurt so deeply. I hope you will come back to the SPO chat when you are ready, as that is where all of our friendships were first formed and we miss you there. We love you for you and what you bring to the chat. The Daily Hork was/is wonderful but if it is too time consuming or causing you too much grief, then drop it. We love it but we love you more.

  20. Dearest CAR...with all the fun and joy you bring into the world, how could we want anything but that which brings YOU joy and makes YOU happy. We all get to keep designing our own lives as the days go by. We indeed begin to realize how much of our reactions and emotions are "choices" albeit with consequences. We continue to learn every day. I consider myself very blessed to have met you. I love you and love the woman you are. You have a great admirer here, my dear Queen Bee. ~ Love, Lady Kathleen

  25. CAR, I just found out about the move to blogspot. I am not sure who Sydney is, but watched her happily while listening to your wonderful voiceover! I have missed you and the owls.
