 Mind Trips Come To Life
Vegas, what to say about Vegas?
I could go on and on about the fancy hotel, the limos, the gifts, the treating of us- as celebrities....yet, I need to just relay...' what meant the most.

The people meant the most.
I watched you all very closely.
Memorized your faces and your voices.
Took in fully who you all were.

I watched a group of people come together out of pure love and respect.
Amazing that so many of us have connected on such an intimate level.
Through our diaries, we have come to know each other very well.

I was speaking to Valentina, she asked what I would say if I had to describe Thoughts.com, to a stranger.
I would say, it is like sneaking into someone's room, to read their diary.
On another level, it is truly reading each other's minds.

The People...The Beautiful People

My impression of all of your Spirits:

Ben- He has the most endearing presence, truly, he gives away confidence as he speaks to you. He radiates a sunshine about him, especially when he is smiling. It is evident that he is a born leader, but he does it with such a humble way about him.
Thank you Ben, I wish I could make you feel as wonderful as you did for me.
You are a truly a blessing through your vision here at Thoughts.com.
I put the Thoughts.com bumper sticker on my car today, in hopes of bringing many others here to this haven called....'Thoughts.com.

Valentina- Such a graceful host. So filled with sincerity. Breathtakingly beautiful. Her spirit shines simple purity. She is so comfortable in her own skin. So very young, but so very wise.
She was a silent witness to me. Her witness was to...'live...'love...shine'
One could not help but love her instantly.
She was contentment personified....so content with all in the world.
It made me wonder what she had, that made her so full of 'Life!
For your beautiful  mother...tell her that she shines as much as you do.
Both of your love is addictive.
Also, for baby Jason...he is a star.
Watching him play in the pool with his daddy, made me notice that smile...what an asset in life, that smile will be.
Just a shining example of a loving family.

Ryan- he was definitely the camera man, he held it like a pro. It seemed like he was all work no play, but he still carried that charming smile. I know I mentioned this, but as with Ben and Valentina....he had that same loving' spirit...just making you feel comfortable and at ease, immediately. Thank you Ryan, for all of  your hard work, catching our memories on film. They will be so cherished.

Shannon- What can I say about this beauty? An elegance about her. In dress and the way she carries herself. She was very hard not to look at, she has a face that just makes you want to stare at her. Then she opens her mouth. Such love...such gracious speech. Such humbleness about how beautiful she is, she became shy when I mentioned it to her, which even made her more beautiful. She has a glowing spirit, you can see it twinkle in her striking eyes.

Coloradodreamin- My sweet Colorado...her love in person is even better than her lovely comments that she leaves for me. We had so much in common, that it was eerily odd at times, when I would hear she has lived much of the same kind of life I have. Just an instant connection to her. Like...we were meant to be friends.  She was so easy to talk to, and to just be with. Such a sincere and beautiful heart. I am so glad that I got to finally put my arms around her.
I cannot forget Kevin.....he really made me laugh. Such a wonderful conversationalist. I had a wonderful evening with him at dinner one night. He is creating his own blog, and I am so excited to be able to see him again.
These two were some of my personal favorites.....they loved me fiercely, and I felt it. 
Such a beautiful thing that love is.

 
ladiegodiva- I was so impressed with ladiegodiva, she looked just like my idol to me. Madonna' is my all time favorite, then there she was. That made me love her instantly. I told her that I wanted to dress her up like Madonna for halloween...she laughed at me. She was witty and classy, full of life blonde beauty.  She had a great bunch with her, her charming husband and sweet quiet Mandie.

Wayne- He is so exactly what I expected, yet, he was not starting any fights down there, must just be a forum thing...hehe...sorry Wayne, I could not resist.  He was though...just as I expected. Strong, funny, a wonderful gentleman.  His wife Linda was just as wonderful. I felt so at ease with these two, like long lost friends or something. Truly Wayne was the one I wanted to meet most in Vegas. I am so glad we both made it.

badlydrawnstickman-  Now Stickman blew me away!  So tall and handsome, and as charming as a magic spell. He had such a class about him,  the way he moved and his choice of dress. I really think it was his 'Rick Springfield shoes. He also has a wonderful mysterious accent...one that makes you say...huh?' ....just so you can hear him say it again. Quite the ambiance a 'Stickman creates when he is near.

BootLady- I just loved the way she could carry a conversation. I am not very good at having conversations, yet, she made it look so easy. She was a refreshing one to sit and hear tell of her life stories. I never knew her very well before Vegas, but I surely want to get to know her now.

Lamebull- Now he is a man's man. Tall handsome, witty, strong, and so lovely to his wife.
He and Annabeth, were such a happy couple, you could just see it. Lamebull is the first one I really had a conversation with, I saw and recognized him in the lobby. I went up to him and asked him if he knew who I was. He said no...hehe. I enjoyed these two very much. Very good and charming people...very good company, their hearts of gold shone through.

Scotslad and Forgetmeknot- Such lovely and quiet people. I was so happy to see that they made it. Scotslad was one of my first friends on Thoughts, I respect his writing highly. Getting to meet him was a pure pleasure, although, I did not expect him to be so shy.  I was so honored to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Namaste.

Roe- Roe was just as I expected. Smart, helpful, interesting to talk to. She always intimidated me some, for I do not know what reason.  I found out that it was all in my head. She was so easy to talk to, and had an infectious smile. I found her very charming, and warm hearted. I hope to get to know her better.
I just realized, I never was introduced to roe's husband.
I am really sorry about that.

It has been such a blessing, to get to know all of you.
Thank you Thoughts.com!

I told you so. I had to say that you know. It's all so overwhelming isn't it? The Thoughts gang are lovely people and the trip is a show of love...period. Anyone that is awarded this special prize should go and experience the fact that there are lovely people that do exist.

That is exactly the reason I would have wanted to go...to meet all our fellow bloggers. I love your description of each and every one...thank you!
I love to go to Vegas because it's such a playground, but I think for this trip getting to know the people would have been the best.
I would have loved to meet you my friend...
All of it sounds very special and endearing.
I'm so glad you all got to go!
:)

I love the title: "Mind Trips come to Life" that is the perfect way to describe it. I love the way you gave a break down of the people too...you people rock! thanks for sharing :)

Glad you had a good trip and was able to meet so many fellow thoughts members. From all of the descriptions it seems it was over the top in every way. :)

Glad you got to meet all of these wonderful people. Your descriptions are worth far more then the words they're made up of.

I read this earlier but did not have time to comment...you captured the essence of Ben and Valentina, Ryan and Shannon...you nailed it...I couldnt imagine a better description of 4 such fabulous people, all role models.
I also enjoyed reading about all our fellow bloggers. Its fun to read what everyone has to say...its like watching home movies, you get to relive the memories all over again. thanks, I think Im going to hit rewind, and read it all over again.

DS -- You found the words I couldn't ... describing everyone perfectly. I don't think there are enough words, in the universe, to capture the amazing essence of thoughts staff. How lucky we were to spend time in the company of such authentic, pure, beautiful spirits.

The first evening your sincere hug, straight from your heart, poured a waterfall of blessing over me. I couldn't believe I was meeting the girl who penned the beautiful words of love and warmth ... words that chased away my loneliness and brought healing to my spirit. This girl was embracing me ... saying I had made a difference in her life. I never realized the encouragement and blessing ran both ways. We were destined to meet and share our hearts and similar stories. I didn't leave my love for you in Las Vegas ... it's right here, burning brightly in my heart for always. I miss being in your physical presence ... sharing a hug and a smile, but know, without a doubt, that our friendship will continue to grow as time goes by. I love you DS. Peace.

Simply wonderful DS. The eloquence of your writing is an inspiration. It was amazing to meet you and the other 'thoughster's but it does take some time to assimilate the experience and I don't think my words could express it as well as you have done here.
Posted by  scotslad60  on 2008-11-23 09:41:13 
  
Thank you DS, and it was such a great experience getting to meet you as well. I agree with Jim in saying that your writing truly is an inspiration.

Haven't been to Vegas for 28 years and wasn't very impressed by it.

On the same trip, I went to the Grand Canyon and that was so impressive, I returned the following year.

Crowded cities do nothing for me, give me the wide open spaces, mountains or forests any day.
