I just checked in with a friend who stood in front of Shiva at the altar this morning and did an invocation for the amount of $170. The bargain was if at the end of the business day there was $170, they’d do 10 minutes of Shiva chants. I just checked and $170 was the exact amount. They are chanting Om Namah Shivaya right now.

I much prefer the Love stamp

I went to the post office this morning and there was a long line so I went to the machine to buy stamps. It was my first experience with the machine.  The only first class stamps in the machine had a flag on them, so I opted not to buy any. My experience is flags are like bibles, people use them mostly to beat each other up with, so I never want to tap into that energy. On the upside, a mom with a kid on one hip and one tugging at her jeans was at the machine next, with a handful of change.  She didn’t have a credit card to buy her stamps so I ran my card for her stamps and didn’t take her change. Moms who care for their kids need every break they can get.  The mom and both kids all said thank you in unison as I left.  I felt like I’d just been blessed by three angels.

IF U HAVE MY CELL #: If you text me and I do not text you  back, that means I did not see it yet.  That means don’t drive an hour and show up at my door unless I’ve acknowledged I know you’re coming and I’m available.  Just because my body is in the office doesn’t mean I’m available. I acknowledge every text I see as soon as I see it because everyone deserves acknowledgment. But not everyone who appears at my door unannounced deserves my time.  The same with cancelling meetings.  If I did not respond to your text cancelling a 9am appointment, I’ll be there on time and may not look at my phone until 9am when I wonder where you are. Sending a second text is a courtesy that gives me an extra chance to hear the text ringtone come in, and would be mucho appreciated.
