I gotta laugh at myself. I made my post on Craigslist for my rental and made sure to keep myself anonymous. I checked it a few times and then went out for a few hours. I came back and checked it and Google Chrome had auto filled in an address box with my home address that I’d missed. I laughed at all my antics to be anonymous, then edited it out. I joked to a friend about it and he read me Psalm 91 . Good stuff. Caution: Bible passage to follow – don’t judge me 🙂 Continue reading

Did you ever throw your bills in the trash by mistake?
Did you ever throw your bills in the trash by mistake along with the junk mail? Yeah, me either since I pay attention and I’m not 10 years old.
Why do I have time for some friends and not others?
I’ve always got a lot of things going on at once, it’s how I operate. I spend much of each day and evening on the phone for work, so I seldom make social phone calls. I haven’t had time for anyone since the end of July when I began readying my rental for the market. I’ve got a buddy I often call from the car for a quick hello when I’m out and about. Sometimes I just want to hear a friendly voice of someone I know in person and hear a few minutes about their day to stay connected with them. Everyone knows all about my day, I blab it all over the magazine and this blog. So when I call and ask, after not speaking for a week or two, “So what have you been doing? How was work today?” it’s frustrating to hear the one-word answer “worky.” It doesn’t matter how much I care for someone, if it’s not an easy flow to be around them, I have other things to do. A few hours later, a friend and coworker stopped by and I asked “How was your day?” It was an ordinary work day of simple stories and insights, but it immediately told me my friend’s state of mind and also made it easy for conversation to unfold. When beloved friends wonder why I have time for someone else and not them, it always has to do with what keeps me in the flow. I am also very mission oriented. I tend to hang with whoever I happen to look up and find walking alongside me on the path, on their own mission. And as far as men and dating: truth be told, I’d always rather have a brother on the path than a romantic partner.
Sometimes your heart opens wide for one person and another falls into it
As Michael Sivanataraj points out, when we become the flowing love of the universe, it cannot be grasped or owned.
In case I go anytime soon…
I posted on Facebook that I am getting ready to list my rental on Craigslist and lots of well meaning friends are warning me of the dangers of doing that. I know it’s all about vibrational matching and I don’t typically attract much danger. But if I do, hey, this life has been a blast and even if there are horrible headlines about what happened to me, the fact will be that I was happy to be here and happy to go and was out of my body and onto my next good thang before it got too crazy 🙂

The end of death as we know it
Fear of Abandonment, meet Unable to Commit
Oh, goodness, how people find the match to work on their issues with. It’s funny enough when one recognizes it, and hilarious when both do. Bring it on.
Sometimes I just have to unfriend a friend for awhile
I unfriended a few friends this week. My Facebook posts are a combination of me telling the antics of the day and me seeking input and thoughts on a particular situation for research purposes for my work. I get some of my best study done this way, learning what real life people today think about something. Sometimes friends hijack my wall with nonsense then the the topic changes to responding to the nonsense. That’s fun to a point. Sometimes friends will repeatedly promote themselves and include links in their comments. Sometimes I know the person talking isn’t one who walks it, so that gets old. And sometimes I just get tired of hearing someone who takes every post as though it’s a topic for him to teach a class on or tell everything he knows. That’s what his Facebook wall is for. Mine is for whatever I want to be there. For two of them, this coincides astrologically with their Uranus opposition. I’m so glad there wasn’t a Facebook when I began my Uranus opposition and began seeing my life in a new way. I’d have worn my fingers to the bone and been ostracized for thumping. During my Uranus opposition, I discovered Abraham-Hicks, began seeing new possibilities in my life and Horizons Magazine was born. Every little insight I had, I had to tell everyone. The unfolding was so fascinating to me, how could it not be fascinating to everyone else, too? But, in Facebook, as in life, a little goes a long way, especially when you’re preaching 101 and to the choir. If someone sees a post I’ve made on someone else’s wall and wants to know who I am and what I think about something, they can check my profile and find my websites and search my blog for the topic. They can send me a message or email me. There are a lot of ways someone can learn who I am and what I have to offer without me having to write it all over friends’ Facebook walls. That’s like writing it on the side of their house. Again, a little goes a long way. I’m just taking a time out. No hard feelings, no loss of love. This, too, shall pass.
Ages 39-42: The Uranus Opposition in Astrology
Some friends and clients are having their lives shaken up in financial and emotional ways. I looked first to astrology to see what the planets reflected back to me. Each is going through their Uranus opposition, that time in our lives that society calls the mid life crisis. During this time, your entire life can be turned around and spun into a new direction. When I began my Uranus opposition, I gained 30 pounds, discovered Abraham-Hicks, began seeing new possibilities in my life and Horizons Magazine was born. Every little insight I had, I had to tell everyone. The unfolding was so fascinating to me, how could it not be fascinating to everyone else, too? The Uranus opposition can be an exciting and fun time, and a time to test your faith. Mine changed my life, literally. Continue reading
Finally Google Maps has updated their photo database
Finally Google Maps has updated with new photos so my house is nice and hidden! They’ve been using a years old pic showing my basketball hoop and also the freeze damage from the winter before. Winter. In Florida. What a hoot. Anyway, they must have taken the new pics in April 2011. I can tell by how tall and sparse the bamboo is. Now the rains have that area filled out. Go type in your address in Google maps and look at your house.
Don’t send me a Facebook message and expect me to see it
To everyone who’s sent me a message on Facebook since June and didn’t get an answer, I just found all those messages. How nice that Facebook lets me archive them for Big Brother rather than delete all the nonsense spam that people I don’t know fill my box with so I can’t see messages from friends 🙂
