This won’t be popular but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. We humans are so funny. God permits all things to happen. Trying to control behavior, we make up rules contrary to human nature then say THIS is what God wants. Like this: “God will never send you someone else’s husband.” Sure He will, it happens all the time. God doesn’t care about the pieces of paper we think are so important. He’s about intent and vibrational matching. God wants for us what we want for ourselves. Whatever we begin, he’ll fuel as long as we stay focused. He fuels wherever we focus.

I breathe a sigh of relief, he’s in custody again
Finally the temps have dropped and it’s cooler in the early mornings. Something about the crisp cool air makes me want to get moving and be outside in it. I used to spend a lot more time in my yard, walking the trails, sitting at the firepit. Then I let myself get derailed for a few years when a troubled friend began showing up uninvited. A former neighbor, he knew my habit of meandering in my woods at all hours. He doesn’t recognize boundaries, so he’d walk right in. Then he moved a mile away and I’d see him walking Emerson Road 3 blocks over, looking wasted. Each time, I’d stay inside for a few days after, just in case. It became habit to stop hanging in the yard, not knowing when he’d show up or was even there, unseen. Whenever I went outside I’d wonder if he was lurking like the old days. I got used to living back inside the house and missed the joy of being outside at all hours. A self imposed exile since I couldn’t get it out of my thoughts. Continue reading
Andrea’s experiences with hurricanes and tropical storms
When they say a storm is 500 miles wide and 185 mph, that doesn’t mean the entire storm is moving 185 mph. Example:
Hurricane Irma in Sept 2017, the eye was 60 miles in diameter. A FEW MILES OUTSIDE of that is where the 185 mph winds are. NOT all 500 miles. Hurricane Irma downgraded below a Cat 1 as she crossed land — as they do — here in Melbourne/Palm Bay we got 60 mph winds and 90 mph gusts. Florida is only 160 miles wide so we all got high winds for the maybe 12 hours it took her to pass. I’ve lived in Florida all my life and I’ve been through several hurricanes and tropical storms. It’s easy to get caught up in the news hype about approaching storms, so I like to have a reminder here on my blog of the notable storms I most recently recall. My worst experience: Continue reading
Don’t Fuel It, Cool It with Jamie Coulston
Feel free to share. I love it when a handsome man gets me OUT of bed! I came across Jamie Coulson‘s comment about anxiety and depression and found his FB group Don’t Fuel It, Cool It, about managing post traumatic stress. He’s allowing me to reprint from his writing, here is a preview. And if you’re interested in helping friends manage anxiety, check out his group. “I’m not a therapist,” he says, but he’s helped me already. https://www.facebook.com/groups/857631804381403/
I found where the yellow jackets moved their nest
Watering the yard this morning, I stepped into the east garden. A chair that hadn’t been used since the hot steamy summer came on sat under the pine, its seat covered in pine needles. I moved the chair and was immediately charged by the yellow jacket nest underneath it that I disturbed. I ran up the path brushing them off my dress and shaking my head to get them out of my hair. I felt several bites: side, hand, under arm (wtf??) and fingers. I could feel them tangled in my hair. I ran across the driveway and pulled my dress off before I came in the door. I didn’t want to bring them inside. Thankfully the roommate was on a walk as I dashed in the door and jumped in the shower. I got one final bite from one that came in on my hair, which is how I identified it as a yellow jacket. I’ve learned 2 Benadryl will stop any reaction for me.
Now to research Wasp Medicine and see what the message is for me. I like Morningstar’s interpretation at https://morningstar.netfirms.com/waspmedicine.html

No yellow jackets yet
I got an email: Are you still not speaking to me?
I knew to not even open the email.

Astral Projection Handbook
Astral projection is simply mental/spiritual travel out of the body to any place on the astral plane; the realm of dreams and spirits etc. It’s as easy as daydreaming, but full transfer of consciousness to the point where the experience is more real than normal waking reality takes practice. Below and at this link I give the process step by step. Here in pdf format http://horizonsmagazine.com/mags_online/Astral-Projection-Handbook.pdf — below is the text
Wikipedia:
Astral projection (or astral travel) is a type of out-of-body experience that assumes the existence of an “astral body” separate from the physical body and capable of traveling outside it. Astral projection is experienced as being “out of the body.” Astral projection, or astral travel, denotes the astral body or etheric double leaving the physical body to travel in the astral plane. The astral body is a body of light intermediate between, and uniting, the rational soul and the physical body. Individuals that are trained in the use of the astral vehicle can separate their consciousness in the astral vehicle from the physical body at will.
When my Android keyboard switches to that little keyboard
I’ve got this thing I do on my phone sometimes without meaning to. I just discovered what causes it. When I go to use the microphone key in Google search, sometimes it turns into a “switch keyboard” key that I don’t see before touching it. Then my keyboard turns into a real small one. I usually notice it in Facebook. But I have to get out of FB to fix it.
I first see it when I go to comment in FaceBook. This weird little keyboard comes up instead of my regular keyboard. I remember in the lower left at some site I saw some kind of little keyboard looking symbol I wondered what would happen if I pushed it. What happened was it switched to the small keyboard, after which there was no little symbol in the lower right any more to return to the old keyboard. I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO GET BACK TO THE OLD KEYBOARD! Continue reading
Sleuthing my mysterious tongue swelling
The last 6 months I’ve had one side of my tongue swell up in an “allergic reaction.” I’ve never had food allergies that I know of. I know our system changes over time and allergies can move in and out, 2 Benadryl stops it within 2 hours or less. A couple of nurse friends tell me it would go down on its own without the bennies. These are the dates it’s swelled up. I’ve listed what I ate the previous day to determine what the trigger may be. My uneducated guess after reading these notes thru 6-28-18 is that I’d eaten ham each day EXCEPT for 6-27-18 where I did eat ½ a turkey burger. Note, the past 6 months I’ve had packaged ham every week with no problem, I think the sodium from the processed meat (and Tums and Alka Selter Plus) may have caught up with me and is detoxing out my tongue. I may have taken 2-4 Tums each day.
Research online tells me meat allergies develop when the body’s immune system becomes sensitized and overreacts to something in the environment that typically causes no problem. I’ve included links showing symptoms I may be developing a meat allergy. I’ll tell you, my inner guidance tells me I don’t hafta stop meat altogether but I could definitely use a rest from it and I can ingest far less of it in the future. Good to know.
Even the chillest of us have rocky days
Even the chillest of us have them at times. Those PTSD flashbacks about stuff you thought you was long over, triggered by the simplest of events. The last 2 days have been — I was going to say rough on body and soul — but nothing is rough on the soul. That’s some myth my mind makes up to make excuses for why I’ve attracted a few rocky days. Don’t get me wrong, nothing drastic happened. It began with a 4 hour delay on Friday that me pouting about dominoed it into an overly long workday. I knew I was snappy so I turned down an offer for help so I didn’t drag anyone else into my vibe. When I’m pouty, I’m happy for physical work done on my own to take me out of it. Continue reading
