Sooner or later love is going to get you * Bernie has already made a difference

Sooner or later love is going to get you. This song keeps ringing in my head. It doesn’t matter if Bernie Sanders becomes president or not. He’s already been the Catalyst for an Awakening in Mass consciousness as to what the possibilities are for this nation. Seeds have been planted. More people than ever especially the youngbloods are recognizing the unity of all and have started on a path to realizing it for their children and grandchildren and perhaps even in our lifetime.  Give a listen to Sooner or Later with the Grass Roots –> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3aTwlwAnXc&feature=youtu.be

 

I cleared the front property

I imagined I'd do this, instead I began yard work

I imagined I’d do this, instead I began yard work

I woke up slowly this Sunday morning. I was going to sit on the driveway with a giant cup of hazelnut coffee with almond milk and watch my neighborhood wake up while I did. As an Aries times 5, it’s hard for me to simply sit rather than do, so I go outside prepared, just in case. Before I went out, I gathered anything I might need like my phone, Skin So Soft for the mosquitoes when the wind dies down, the mini tarp in case I want to sit because everything’s soaking wet from last night’s rain, hand pruners and gardening gloves. There are not too many places on my property that I can sit and not be looking at something that I’d like to prune, to water, or to transplant.  Thirty minutes later I’d rooted a dozen more night-blooming Jasmine cuttings and found a tray of loquat seedlings. I decided to clear the front part of the east property, which had become a tangle of grapevine, fallen oak and pine branches atop old bamboo. There must have been some wind storm the last two days. Some of my giant plants are bent over 45 degrees and there is a ton of deadfall from the oaks and pines. An hour later I’d stacked the bamboo poles that have been laying on the ground for the last several years.  The good, intact poles I set aside to use for a fence and the ones that had crumbled into mulch have now become mulch for the front berm, which is now 18 inches higher. All garden tools and supplies, all bricks and cinder blocks have been moved to one specific area. I now have officially zero areas of junk on my property and I have another nice clearing to sit with friends, private from the street.

How can I get to a place of peace when it’s so crazy around me?

“How can I get to a place of peace and calm when everything is so crazy around me?” It is a matter of focus. Right now when you focus on the crazy, you feel kind of crazy. What would you prefer to feel like? Peaceful? Calm? What things make you feel that way? For me I like looking at peaceful images especially nature scenery or paintings with colors that soothe. Your job is to discover what it is that makes YOU feel calm and then do more of that. If petting your cat or sitting at the beach looking at the ocean or sitting on your balcony looking at the sky makes you feel peaceful, ether do that or keep imagining yourself doing that. I would also ask the universe to send me fun ideas of calm and peaceful things I would like. I always ask even if I think it’s obvious what if I want.

The problem with being sneaky is you attract faulty info

bunnies kung fu fightingYou have to laugh. Two siblings in lawsuit over Daddy’s estate. I haven’t talked to either for 10+ years but I see it on Facebook. The son’s wife emailed me about advertising and I emailed back reminding her of deadline. I told her I also sent a FB msg and tried to send one to her husband and saw he’d blocked me. She responded, “some of our friends have been sending us the info you’ve said about us so let’s delete each other.” Sure, but I did no such thing. I don’t even talk to these three.  The brother writes mean spirited mocking posts on his FB wall accusing his sister of criminal acts relative to their father. He has settings so that no one can comment or contact him. They have blocked the sister yet have “friends” go to the sister’s FB wall and report back. That’s the problem with being sneaky. You attract faulty info.

Your poison comes back to you. Let it go.

cage girlAngry friends please: your anger, your bitterness and resentment is slowly poisoning your system and clouding your thought. What you wish upon your “enemy” is absolutely what comes back to you in the form of your physical health and outward living conditions. When you give yourself a stroke, you will have no loved ones to look after you if you alienate them all with your hateful actions. Learn to control it, learn to let it go, learn to move on, learn to forgive.

Discrimination isn’t something that appeared overnight

kroger bathroom signWe’re evolving. People who are afraid of “the bathroom bill” which disallows transgender individuals to use public bathrooms for the sex they identify as, have been taught fear. The following question helped me understand how fear is birthed and how discrimination and racism comes to be. “If a person spent the entirety of their life inside of a pitch dark cave being told every day that the sun was a source of evil, how would they feel after being dragged into daylight? The racist south wasn’t something that appeared overnight…”    Continue reading

The Universe is always watching and giving more of what you focus upon

watching copyA FBF posts, “Yeah cheers FB for that sponsored ad for extra extra large panties. How did you know I’m feeling fat today and in need of further humiliation by having a social network spy on my inner dialogue.” When I priced cabinet door handles and hinges online last month, the sidebar ads would be for hinges and handles. Law of attraction works like that, too. It constantly offers you more of what you’re focused on. Two friends in 2 days had problems with pc malware and virus and told me all about it. Sure enough, I attracted a malware scare. Know that whatever you’re focusing on, the universe is watching and will keep offering you more of the same until you focus on something else.

benny and me wearing his name tagI just discovered I can hook two of Benny’s collars together and they fit me. I was going to put the collar on him today but thought it only fair I wear it a few hours first. Me wearing his collar on my ankle for 3 hours with the bell on it last month made me decide to take the bell off. If I don’t like it, I can’t expect him to.

I replaced my kitchen cabinet door handles and hinges

door-handlesI just replaced all the handles and hinges on my kitchen cabinet doors and drawers. I love doing projects like this. My home is 32 years old and I still love it. Doing little updates like this make a big difference in how I feel about my living space. The entire project cost me less than $100. I sound like my mother. And my father.  Every time I walk in there now I noticed the bright shiny nickel hardware and it makes me smile. the job went kinda slow because I was super cleaning everything while I was at it. The kitchen now has all new handles and hinges on the cabinet doors and everything is squeaky clean inside and out. It feels fresh and new. I’ll donate the old hinges and door handles, screws and bolts to Habitat for Humanity. It’s a complete set for 15 doors and 4 drawers.
