Angela’s Memories - Oregon Coast Visitors Association

I have to say that some of my best memories are of the Oregon coast. The memories have always given my heart a little warmth with memories of my family and friends. As a child I remember going with my family including my cousins, and grandparents to the coast. I remember running along the beach, digging for clams, chasing each other with sea weed, jumping the waves, and finding empty shells on the sand. Afterwards we would head back to our campground stopping to pick blue berries and raspberries growing along the road. We would eat just as many as we picked. Sadly after my grandmother died we did not go back.

Bandon - on The Peoples Coast

Bandon by the Sea

Located at the mouth of the Coquille River Bandon is home to three of the world's premier golf courses, a wild animal park, and wide sandy beaches with breathtaking sea stacks. Bandon is just a short drive (58 miles) from Hilltop House in Gold Beach and if you are renting the house, it makes a great day trip with lots of things to see and do for the whole family.

Some of the activities available in Bandon are: horseback riding, kayaking,
fishing,  camping, exploring the lighthouse and dunes, shopping, crabbing, golf, and more. Don’t  miss the cranberry bogs! These colorful sights can
be seen along Highway 101.

Hello Again - Storm Watchers

Hilltop House Website It has been a while since I posted to the blog and I plan to be doing so much more often. First, I want to thank all of my  loyal readers and all the people who have supported Hilltop House and enjoy staying there too. We appreciate you patronage and your kind comments and praise.

We are currently offering the house as a month to month rental which makes it a great headquarters for Storm Watching. Hilltop House has extensive decking where you can storm watch in the comfort of it's luxurious rooms. While viewing the storms you can sip wine and enjoy the wonderful smoked Salmon that Gold Beach has to offer in the spacious Gourmet kitchen, throw a Storm watching party in the fabulous Great Room or snuggle up in the master bedroom and watch nature's wonder unfold before your eyes. To take a virtual tour of Hilltop House and see what I am talking about please go to Hilltop House website and click on take a virtual tour.

For the more adventuresome souls, you can hop in your four wheeler and drive along the rugged coast for an up close and personal view of the spectacular Pacific ocean. Here's a preview of what you will see:

Beggar on a Beach of Gold

I love the message in this song by Mike and the Mechanics and I believe it is true that we are all "poor men with all the riches we can hold" and we can learn to recognize how to manifest them. I will be posting a movie that I comprised in the next week, that tells the steps of how to live a prosperous life filled with abundance. I comprised it from studying many works but most recently Catherine Ponder's Millionaires of the Bible series that teaches you the secrets to thinking in a prosperous way.

I also read Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, The Master Key System by Charles Hannel and the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. I will also be including video clips by other visionaries that I have not yet listed as time goes by...

Summertime is here! Great time to go the Aquarium!

From Storm Solstice to Inner Stillness

Many of you know that I am a big fan of the writings of Eckhert Tolle. I have awakened to so much about myself by reading his books and studying his teachings of Inner Stillness and The Power of Now. I originally wanted to post about the storm watching opportunities on the Oregon coast this time of year. But after finding and watching this breathtakingly beautiful video of an Oregon coastal storm, I realized that this post is really meant to be about the stillness that comes out of the storm when we allow ourselves to be fully conscious of it.

So I felt that it was appropriate to follow with a wonderful flower meditation video as well. I hope you will pause a moment and enjoy them both and I hope you have a chance to visit the Southern Oregon Coast this winter or sometime soon.
