Your Card for today.  Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this.  Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor.  YOU DID. There are no mistakes.

I love the reversed cards, they indicate our routine life has been put on hold for a designed purpose. Reversals can have to do with lack of sufficient effort or support. It can be where we feel blocked or discouraged, where we feel fearful.

MEANING: In reversal, the Chariot is still a card about movement. This movement can be literal from one physical place to another or metaphysical – a change in where you or someone close to you needs a change in their heart and/or mind.  The reversed Chariot can indicate that you need to take a hard look at where you are going and why. Don’t allow yourself to engage in movement just for the sake of movement. Purpose and direction is important at times. Continue reading →

Collections of storm debris will begin this weekend and all such debris set out in the right-of-way will be collected. Here are the guidelines, including cut up trees and limbs into 4’ lengths. What I do is haul mine all out there and whatever they don’t pick up for being too big, I’ll cut down to 48″. They’ve always picked mine up, but mine are all dead branches, light and easy to pick up. Here’s the Space Coast Daily article telling you all about it.    Continue reading →

Florida Folks on restoring power. Please pass this around and it will give some idea of what it takes to restore power to all the homes after a hurricane. Then  people awaiting power will realize what it takes to get the job done.

1st You have to check the line from the generating plant which in most cases is a 230,000 volt or 500,000 volt line. This is generally done by helicopter to fly the line and see where it is damaged. Once they know where and how bad they can send crews to fix it. The generating plant feeds the switch yards and transformer that send power to the substations.

2nd the switch yard in most cases steps the power down to 69,000 volts and then sends it to all the substations. So all the lines to the subs station have to be checked and marked for repairs. The sub stations have transformers that step the power down to what we call 15KV or 15,000 volts. From the substations it goes out and is what we call distributions lines.    Continue reading →

I’ve still got flowers while some of my neighbors after Hurricane Irma don’t even have bushes left

A Facebook friend posted asking if one person is blessed does that mean another is cursed, example if a disaster hits one house and leaves the one next door intact.
I don’t think one has to do with the other and I think what we experience is as a result of our vibrational resonance. Who knows what all goes into determining vibrational resonance? Seemingly mean and bitchy people can seem lucky while someone kind-hearted and generous can experience sorrows, so we know it has nothing to do with outward appearance.

I noticed I did not move 4 plastic chairs in the west woods. Here they are the morning after.

Certainly our daily pattern of thought, optimistic and pessimistic, helps determine vibrational resonance /frequency. I think of vibrational resonance as what station am I tuned to on the radio dial? And it changes moment by moment and thought by thought and there are things like past momentum (and perhaps karma) that factor into it as well.  Vibrational resonance plays a part in determining who’s in harm’s way and who escapes by the seat of their pants but that’s not to say that any luck or misfortune is the “fault” of the individual. It could be the default setting of someone who hasn’t yet discovered they can train their mind toward more hopeful expectation and thus change their future experience.  I don’t know if it has to do with anything but I always expect and believe there will be a positive outcome to situations and so far that has been my experience. I was just thinking of that this evening as I walked through the yard and noticed that so many of my Turk’s Cap bushes still have flowers. Some of my neighbors after Hurricane Irma don’t even have bushes.
