My first name, Esther, means "Star". My middle name, Keturah, means "Incense" or "Perfumed One" or "Sweet fragrance",
and I don't know what Smith means.

I'll be starting two Multimedia classes at Portland Community College.
I am taking voice lessons right now from an old friend who used to go to our old church.
Her name is Marian Morton.
My Mom use to teach her piano, and later, she moved on and joined a group called "First Light".
The group put out some CDs
that she sang in. She is now a voice teacher and worship leader. She and Jason Pierce
(who use to be a tenor in the group called Rescue)
use to sing together in First Light. They're old friends!
My Mom and I see Rescue a lot here in Oregon. We've became friends with most of the guys because they've seen us so much that
they recognize us when we attend any of their concerts. Jason Mckenny, who's nicknamed Mac, fellowships with me a lot.
I'm learning a lot in my Christian walk with the Lord. My goal for this site is to bless people with all the gifts God has given me.
I hope everything you find on this site will fill you with loads of joy and makes you want to come back again and again........
I'll write again......

I just recently had my birthday party and turned 22. (not OLD...... just by 1 year difference)
I asked my friends to come in Gothic style character.
I dressed up like the grown up Yeesha from MYST V (that hasn't come out yet).
Ha ha ha, that was my joke at the party. We had a great time.
I had prayed the day before the party that I would one day get a dozen roses from someone since I never have gotten any from anyone at all.
(even at my dance recitals I use to be in)
The next day at my party, my friend Marion Morton, who is also my voice teacher, walked in with a dozen roses!
I was so surprised, I hadn't expected that to happen anytime soon, or "the next day". I loved my roses!
They were so beautiful and smelled wonderful,
the color was a tannish yellow gradient with reds and dark oranges. They looked like tropical flowers.
My friend Emilie stayed for two nights in a row after the party. She played MYST 4 while I tried my hardest not to cheat
and tell her everything to do. At dinner for both nights, we had pizza and a movie! We joked a lot about some stuff in MYST 4,
for instance, all the misty air we kept finding throughout the game. Emilie was joking, "That's because it's MYST duh."
"That's right Emilie, thet's so right," I teased while in a fit of giggles. We laughed.
Later I started spelling the word "MYST" just about everytime Emilie ran into any misty air. We had fun.
Yesterday me and my Mom's friend Yvan, came to visit after church with her husband Jeff. Yvan also tried out MYST 4 and had a wonderful day.
My silly sister Gloriana and her daughter Sadye, came in to join us and watch. We had a lot of fun and sillies while I was showing Yvan the game.
Then when Glor and Sadye left, later, Yvan took over the mouse and played a little before she had to get off.
Tonight Silly Glor and her kin branch is coming over to watch, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow," except for Sadye.
Sadye is going to get a turn to play MYST 4 since I told her she could play it yesterday! Yvan's turn went too long so Sadye gets to play tonight instead.
I am looking forward to her visit. As you can see, MYST 4 is pretty much the topic of today's entry......I noticed.
We'll what can I say? It's a fun game!
This is Yeesha from the future MYST V saying, "Until we meet again................. You will be MYST by my journal."
God Bless
-Esther
I'll write again......
We'll my Mom and I are going to get two mugs of tea, and link to MYST V End Of Ages. I shall return shortly.............

I just had my Birthday Party on Feb 11th.
I had loads of fun! Click on the link to go to the Cool Kids Club Site and see photos of my party.
I'm known over there as "Danger" because that's my secret name.
For my party we had loads of fun fun fun!!! First Everyone dressed up as a character they liked and you can probably guess by now who my character was. Someone out of MYST!!!? wow your good! Yes Yeesha from MYST V at on earlier age this time. I finally can say that I was Yeesha from MYST V that IS out now (laughing). Only before the tattoo, the third feather in her bun, and the extra braids on the sides of her head. I wore curls on the sides of my head instead. My outfit is very similiar to hers but prettier because its more dressy. You'll have to go to the page and see it!
My friend Anna came dressed as a chocolate bar! (laughing) I've seen her do some pretty crazy things before, but this one takes the birthday cake!
Yvan came as a Hobbit Girl from Lord of the Rings, and Emilie as Yeesha's friend. (Actually Emilie came not dressed up, so I had to give her some pretty things to use and as a result, Gothic Emilie was created. I decided to just call her Yeesha's friend.)
We had party bags that I made from my snow princess photo I took up at Mt Hood. We listened to MYST Music then Christian Music, and Fraggle rock Music as a surprise my Mom sprung up on us. We had a wintery decorated party with aqua frosted cake, ice cream, and sparkling blueberry juice (mmmmmmmm). We did pin the tail on the donkey and Yvan won. Her prize? Some FOOT STUFF,....AND.....A WOOPY CUSHION!!! Yvan was very happy and surprised. Last but not least, best of all, we had a KARAOKE PARTY!!! I sang a lot of favorites, Anna sang, Yvan Sang, Emilie sang and My Mom sang. We had a blast!!! I especially had fun watching Anna sing. That was new.... We had so much fun!!! Oh yeah, I forgot, we also watched a visualizer of Steeve Jobbs Dancing on Itunes. That's all on my Moms computer.
Emilie stayed overnight for a slumber party. We played MYST V. Later we had pizza, salad, cream soda and candy along with a movie I like called "Fidler On The Roof"
My cards I received at my party were: A Queen Kitty picture from Anna (very CUTE!), and A Paper...Pickle..from my friend Emilie (very yummy with interest) My Presents were: A celtic knot burrette from yvan (beautiful!), money for a karaoki CD from Anna, and a WOW Gospel 2006 CD from Emilie. Thank you for my gifts everyone!!!!
..............This is Yeesha at age 23 signing off for now...............
............I shall right again...........
...........May 2 2006............
Today I watched my niece, little precious Lovey Anika. She will be 2 years old on June 30th! I was looking at her baby pictures recently, and remembering the first days of my time babysitting her. Boy I wish I could just relive one day of that time. It's was so priceless...... I remember humming a little melody too her when she was nestling on my shoulder and drifting away into a deep sleep. She would sigh and she smelled so sweet. "My Baby"..... The melody I origanally wrote but sang a little different for my Lovey, was invented from the inspiration of some dreamy music I heard on the music station on my Daddo's TV. I had something going in my head the next day, I sang it to myself atleast 30 times that day. I sang it a little different for Anika because she fussed when I sang the origanal I think because It wasn't grabbing her attention. So I invented a second version as a lulluby just for her. Unfortunatly by the next day I forget how the origanal went. I'm hoping that God with allow it back into my head one day. It was so beautiful.....I do remember atleast the first line of the melody through, and I'm starting to remember a few clues here and there on how the next to parts went! I forgot this song in 2004 and now in 2006, I'm finally getting somewhere! It may never be the same as before, but it sounds super close.
The amazing part of this day is, to make a long story short, that recently I submitted a name I made up into a site called "Baby Names Index." This site has loads of baby names from A to Z for boys and Girls. It also has a blog where new and old baby names that aren't listed are being either introduced for the for time, or posted. I introduced my made up name that no search engine has heard before or baby site either, and today, I saw it posted up on the blog! This is really excitiing to get a chance to introduce a brand new name that no one has used before! I have never gotten to do this so for me, this is amazing that there's a site that gives you that oppertunity. I'm imagining who will be the first newborn girl get's to use this name? Wow!
The name I made up is, "Aquilia" pronouned (au-quill-ya)
It means, sweet water, refreshment, sweet fragrance, and purity.
Isn't that beautiful? I know it's God. Who else would give me such a gorgious name? Everytime I've said it lately, It's like I've activated a world of great beauty and refreshment I can feel as I see it in my mind. Or a clue that shows this hint of something from that world. Before I submitted this name I originaly and recently created a new world on my site called "Aquilia" which will expand into something beautiful as time goes on. Aquilia was originally an idea of an age I came up with for the Illathid game that is a branch of the MYST series except this time, it's being created by fans of MYST. Anyone is welcome to participate in the making of it. Aquilia was my idea, it was going to be the "age of water" and I came up with an Idea that there could be a waterfall with a walkway the lead straight up to the center of it. There's a door behind it that you can't go through until you solve a windchime and crystal puzzle. There's a tree right by the area. You find a latter hanging, you climb up, you find four windchimes hanging in a straight line. At the bottom of each windchime is a crystal. You turn around and move a branch aside to reveal the sun. The light from the sun goes through the crystals making four rainbow beems to the waterfall you see in the distance. Now you ring each windchime in a certain pattern making a melody. When you finish the puzzle, all the windchimes ring at once and you see a rainbow form above on the waterfall from the four crystals. There is a huge crystal behind the waterfall that you cannot see. That crystal tells each rainbow beem from the little crystals to make the big rainbow above the waterfall after you finish the puzzle. That last part that happens is that the bottom half of the waterfall opens up like an arch way revealing a double door behind it. You climb down the tree and immidiantly enter threw the double doors made of trees with the bark still on them. Either they look like that or they're crystal glass doors with carved symbols and a wooden frame. That was my idea, but I decided to do something of my own with that world because I get to many ideas for one thing and I never know what the best idea is, so I decided to make it for my site instead and try other ideas that could match with it. I hope God uses it for something wonderful!
I thought Aquilia also sounded like a girls name when I made this, so recently, a story was and still is being written about a princess from this world of Aquilia, who is named after it by her Mother and Father as an honar. The reason is because they've waited so long for a child. When she's older like 5 or 8, she ends up in a different world where she forgets her past, her world, and even her own name. Her Grandmother Annalise, who lives in that other world, takes her in and razes her. Annalise doesn't know Aquilia's name, world or past either but she does know that Aquilia is her granddaughter and so does Aquilia. Aquilia only remembers the last part of her name, lia, so that ends up being her name in that world. Lia also has a strange silver braclette with, in the center, of four unusual symbols, an Aquamarene stone, stuck on her right arm. The braclette never comes off, and the Aqua stone glows when she is in any water. Lia wants more than anything to remember who she is and go back to where she came from. Her Grandmother wants to help her find a way.
Thew this story Aquilia, will find clues that remind her of something she's seen before in her home world. Like an land area that is a copy of her world, a song she keeps hearing but doesn't remember all of it, (like me he he) or an object that strikes a memory.
Also I'm trying to find rare, unike, fairytail names for all her friends, her parents, and other characters. If you read this and have a great suggested name, then please
E-mail Me
I can use all the help I can get.
Last but not least on the news of this amazing day, is that I sent my baby picture also to that site. They love getting baby photos to post for their page, so if you have one, send it to them! The also love getting brand new names. Click here to go there.
Well I shall sign of for today......until next time.........I must return to my own world.............
