Blocking someone is like living with blinders on. Don’t let them send you into hiding. Don’t give them the power to steal your joy.

This week several Facebook friends unknowingly friended a hacker. When I saw the mutual friends, I sent each a note to unfriend and report them as spam and change their password. Then, yesterday at a friend’s computer we checked to see if she’d friended the hacker. She and Dannia had. When I got home, I went to send Dannia a message letting her know, and I saw that she had blocked me. This same friend years ago cut off an entire group of friends, including me. But until the week before, I’d seen her comments on a mutual friend’s FB page. Apparently she didn’t like seeing my comments, so she blocked me. My first thought was, Now that’s creating your own reality! Then I felt a little honored and humbled that she gave me so much power. That wasn’t like her. Not the old her, anyway. I thought how synchronistic the Universe having me at the friend’s computer to see her name, otherwise I may never have known I was blocked.  If someone triggers me to negative emotion, I know there’s something going on in me that could use some reflection. Not everyone is ready to look into a mirror, and it’s none of my business if they ever do or not. It’s just a limited way to live.   Continue reading →

A galpal has been commiserating with me having a knee injury since she fractured her foot dropping a box as she was moving into her new house.  Since she was in a new city in a state clear across the country from “home,” she got to spent the first night there in the local emergency room. She asked me what the metaphysical meanings might be so I sent her some info.  I like to give info like this in writing so friends have it to refer to as they heal, like seed thoughts for contemplation. My experience is when I have an injury or ailment, there is always some aspect of personal growth I can use. The sooner I figure out what that is, the sooner my ailment will dissipate. I wrote her:    Continue reading →

The reason some friends have turned against you and away from you have nothing to do with you. They’ve been removed because they can’t go where you’re being taken next. They’ve already served their purpose in your life. Let them go and keep moving. The best is yet to be and you couldn’t get there if they were still in your life.

I had two very different readings today. The first had only a couple of general questions and mostly wanted to know what I could see around him right now. The second had a list of 19 questions she emailed me ahead of the appointment and we went through them one by one. It is very true that the more focused the question, the more specific the answer comes through. Like walking into a library and saying “I’d like a book, please”, it helps to give a basic topic that you’re curious about and specific questions you want answered. Like going to the ocean, you are the one who decides whether you walk away with a thimble full or a truckload of. Ask for exactly what you want, I promise you’ll be delighted with what the Universe gives you.  I like studying a client’s chart before we meet. I like to show astrological corelations to the events and circumstances in someone’s life. This is because when they see it is true for past events, they can trust it may likely be true for future events. Also to show where the beginning time was for the circumstance (no job, no relationship), and to predict an ending date for the circumstance (when they are likely to find job, relationship, etc.).  When we know what to expect, it’s easier to relax into the flow (and to take steps to get out of aggravation’s way).   Continue reading →

How many lifetimes do we get? How many different bodies?  We experience much suffering when we think we only get one life and one body. Sure, this body you’re in right now, that skin and those bones will die. You’ll go to sleep in that tired worn shell and awaken to find yourself emerging fresh into a new body, once again at the beginning of a life. What the caterpillar calls death, we call a butterfly. You go to sleep there and awaken here. We survive in consciousness after the change called death, just as we survive in consciousness after the change called sleep.    Continue reading →

Not many have my cell phone number. Verizon just gave me a free trial for Visual Voice Mail. I missed two calls and when I clicked “voice mail,” it showed them to me in text format. I may give clients that number now, it let me quickly see what they wanted and let me prioritize calling back. All too often, I’ve had so many calls in a day that I put off checking voice mail for a day or more. I was able to text back each the info they wanted right away. I love new technology!

The body is amazing in its recuperative ability

I injured something behind my right knee at the gym July 14 by squatting in bad form. I kept thinking I could walk it out, but it became worse. I finally thought to Google “pain and inflammation in the back of the leg” and I think what is wrong with my knee is a micro tear in a ligament or pulled hamstring way down near the bottom where it attaches. These guys have it also http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/Forum11/HTML/009238.shtml and also http://www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com/pain-in-back-of-knee.html and also http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/sport-injuries/knee-pain/posterior-knee-pain.  Most muscle strains or sprains are micro-tears of the tissue, and that takes at least three weeks to heal. The remedy: RICE (raise, ice, compress, elevate). Use a bag of ice or cold pack on your knee four to eight times per day for 20 minutes each time. Good to know.

A friend mentioned that in a new job, he’s “testing the waters for Christian conversation.” This is a good man who only means well. My own experience through much of my life was that these conversations can quickly turn awkward and feel like an invasion of privacy when you’re confined together in a work setting. I never mind someone making a personal comment referencing their religion, but I never want to be asked “do you know Jesus?” I’d never say Hare Krishna to a stranger or ask “do you know Shiva?”  This man is a friend of mine and his job will be driving clients to appointments. I hope he doesn’t find himself in a pickle thinking people may be more tolerant than they are. I’d hate for someone to complain and jeopardize his job.   I have a No Soliciting sign on my door that also says No Boy Scouts, No Jehovah’s Witnesses, No Mormons.  In the early years when I first started awakening, I actually prayed that I would not become like my born again friends who alienated everyone by their fervent enthusiasm in their new found faith. I’m not sure if I achieved that or not.
