I love to get into a snuggly made up bed

Ah, nothing like new bedding! I wanted to refresh the bed in the back bedroom, so I bought a new mattress cover and sheets that fit perfectly. It’s an 8″ mattress and my fitted sheets fit up to a 16″ mattress.  That means it’s not a snug fit for the bed. That means the bottom sheet won’t stay tucked in.  I solved that by buying a king size flat sheet which I tucked completely around the double bed so that it stays tucked. It worked like a charm!  With the new padded mattress cover, it feels very plush.  The bed was rather low to the floor, so I added bed risers  (see coupon here) to give it another 4″ in height. I love a tall bed, it feels … majestic somehow.  These changes made it seem like a brand new bed. It was taller, more padded, the sheets were a snug, tight fit. It looked smart and felt luxurious. I love a made bed. I won’t get in a messy, unmade bed. Even when I sleep, the covers on top stay fairly straight as I move around underneath them.  That’s because I have the hugger pillow under the covers with me. Sometimes I get out of bed and I can barely tell I’ve been in there.  I love my new snug bed.

My new bedroom is finally together!

Holy cow, my friends ROCK! I’d written a friend’s credit card number down wrong so I couldn’t process the $22 subscription renewal. I kept thinking I’d call about it next month, then the next and it’s been a year. He just noticed I never ran it and he paypalled me $200.  I thought it was a mistake.  It was not.  Wow! Yay for me being a vibrational match to all things good.

The heroine always needed to be rescued by the new man

I’m a ghost writer. I don’t write in my genre and it’s likely nothing you’ve ever read. I’m not into reading fiction, but… fiction and role playing as teaching tools for the uplifting of humanity? I can dig it. When I was a teen, I liked to read suspense stories. I especially liked gothic novels where the heroine inevitably went to live on some romantic far coast with an elderly aunt, meets a mysterious stranger who saves her from danger, and they ride off into the sunset happily ever after.  That was a nice recurring theme, however it didn’t mirror how I saw real life playing out.  Around me, the women I saw were working hard while not all the husbands worked. I saw women being the ones who got things done and none that I grew up around needed rescuing.  I had girlfriends who were waiting for their prince to come along to support them when they left daddy’s house. No prince for me. I saw how that prince thang had been working out. I got a job when I was 16, learned the legal age to leave home and did so the minute I was 17 and self supporting.

A pal asked, “A friend made a disparaging comment about someone they just met and their interest in “Metaphysical sh*t”. Are crystals and collecting them something that could be labeled as a metaphysical based activity?”  I replied, “Meta-physical means going beyond the physical to intuit and experience the subtleties of the non-physical world. Not everyone is psychologically and emotionally prepared to do that. It’s not easy to find irrefutable science that collaborates their efficacy, just as it is for reiki, therapeutic touch, anything that requires the component of interaction with human consciousness, focus and belief. For those who want to disbelieve, no proof will suffice. For those who believe, no proof other than their own experience is needed.” Belief in a higher power would also fall under the heading of metaphysical sh*t, as would wearing a cross or other symbol of faith. When critics call it pseudo-science, remember that the Bible is pseudo-history. A belief in it and any perceived power behind would be the placebo effect. That makes it no less effective in working to change and heal lives. 

Masaru Emoto: Using conscious intention produces measurable effects

I’m feeling blessed that after many years I’ve attracted another loner who understands the value of solitary reflection and holy curiosity.

Extra Virgin, Certified Organic

(NaturalNews) If health authorities are going to remain insistent upon lacing the water supply with additives to thwart tooth decay, then they really should be using all-natural coconut oil rather than fluoride chemicals, based on the findings of a new study. Researchers from the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) in Ireland have found that coconut oil effectively inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause cavities and mouth infections, without causing any harmful side-effects.  Enzyme-modified coconut oil was found to fight all sorts of bacterial strains without triggering any negative side-effects, or promoting the development of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs” like antibiotic drugs do.

What a caterpillar calls death, we call a butterfly

We see it on tv all the time; violent death and painful trauma on the way to it. Movies are filled with it, it’s on tv all day and night, and our generation and our kids grew up with it. No wonder the thought of death strikes fear in most of us! But as usual, what’s shown in the media isn’t necessarily how things are; it’s just what sells tickets. This article is excerpted from a compilation of personal case histories of people I’ve read for. I wanted to share it because I’ve witnessed many times where those who did not believe in an afterlife were surprised with messages from loved ones, although they had been brought up to believe otherwise. I love watching someone experience the dawning of a new understanding as their former, limited belief system crumbles. Continue reading →
