Monday January 12, 2009 As each new year begins, I like to reflect on how my life is different than the year before, and what upgrades I’ve made. Not just with a new car or new appliances or a new wardrobe, but also new ways I’ve discovered to make parts of my life run easier, like my business with Horizons Magazine, or my health and fitness. So I’ve been upgrading my cooking habits. Continue reading
Sunday January 11, 2009 Ahh, this is how I feel… Look for me tonight sleep-floating over your house against the full moon 🙂

Sunday January 11, 2009 I am skipping church this morning to get through my email ads for the February Horizons Magazine. Only 204 more to go and I have until Friday to finish it… So this morning I made my version of a big breakfast to begin my day, so I can work straight through. It began with sauteeing half of a baking potato in a nonstick pan with Pam Spray with Olive Oil. I began another nonstick pan with a handful of sliced white mushrooms. Continue reading
Sunday January 11, 2009 Last Friday I drove to Unity of Melbourne to see David Roth in concert – he’s a really enjoyable and innovative singer/songwriter. I rarely drive out after dark, mostly because I schedule sessions for the evenings. I’ve done that for so many years now that I find it’s challenging to drive at night. Since I’m not used to it, it’s easy to get distracted by the bright lights and I need to pay careful attention to stay focused on the road ahead of me. Kind of like life… Continue reading

I was pretty industrious today so far, doing non-magazine related projects. I did some bicycle maintenance and went for a daytime ride around the neighborhood. I watered the line of arbicola cuttings I planted alongside the cleared path in the woods. I dragged some dead eleagnus cuttings to the street from the backyard. I’d had a beansprout stirfry for breakfast with some miso soup. It began as a salad then I decided to stirfry it and throw an egg in there also, with some soy sauce. My tummy was growling again but I didn’t want to take the time to eat. I had things to do. That’s a good habit to get in to Continue reading
IN THE FIRST DREAM I am walking along a very rough terrain, on the way to climb a high and rather forbidding mountain, the top of which is concealed by mist and clouds. It is clear that the ascent of this mountain symbolizes my whole life. Clambering over the rubble in front of me is not too daunting, but as I look ahead I see that my way is blocked by several cliffs that appear to be around ten feet high. Beyond those are some still higher cliffs, the farthest being perhaps hundreds of feet high. I have no idea how I will deal with those when I get to them, but meanwhile there seems nothing to do but forge ahead. However, although I didn’t know notice it at first, I am growing in stature as I go along, so that by the time I finally reach the ten foot cliffs I am tall enough that I can simply step up over them. The same with the hundred foot cliffs. Continue reading
Yesterday was spent organizing papers and making copies for the tax accountant. What I thought was going to be a 1-2 job turned into 11 hours almost nonstop before I cut loose of it to begin again later this morning. And all it is is copying check registers, bank statements, credit card statements, Paypal statements, merchant account statements, and figuring my mileage for the year. I’ve learned to keep a daily mileage log and I don’t back out of the garage without making the entry, since the IRS allows me over 50c a business mile. Continue reading
January 8, 2009 An easy, painless meditation while driving: Become aware of the feel of the car. Breathe it into you and breathe yourself out into it. Become aware of the positions of all cars around you. Breathe them in and breathe yourself out to include them. Become aware of the pull of your arm muscles as you turn and guide the car. Be aware of the shift of your weight as you apply gas and brake. Be aware of the sounds around you. Then realize that just as you are in control of the car, just so is your Higher Self in control of your body and guides it in all that you do. Now, listen to the inner sounds as you breathe that in.
Although the Light disturbs us when we’re comfortable, it comforts us when we’re disturbed.
We turn to Spirit when our foundation is being shaken and then we find that Spirit is shaking it.
