Going thru old files page by page looking for a legal doc that might be mis-filed, I’m reminded that my husband and father in law fell prey to many investment scams. Lee died in 96, Dad lived just 3 miles from me. I invited him to live with me after I stopped by one day after getting no answer. The rule was he would “call me each day to make sure I was ok.” He said he heard the phone ring but he was doing the daily mail so he didn’t answer.

Um, he’s 84, what kind of “daily mail” was he doing? I asked if I could help him and he had me sit at the dining table. It was covered with dozens of scam mail (this was 1999) solicitations and he spent much of each day filling them out and sending them in. That and attending “business lunches” which were those free restaurant meals for seniors who sit thru the investment opp presentation. The rest of every day was watching news and Jerry Springer, then more news. He came to live with me in 99. I asked if he could help me feed the squirrels each day. Continue reading →

WELCOME TO THE JANUARY 2021 HORIZONS. Here’s to hindsight being 2020. The big changes of 2020 forced me to make big changes in my own life. At first, when the pandemic arrived and the income tanked, I didn’t think, “Oh phooey, what am I gonna do now?” only because I’d learned to have a Plans B, C, and D-Z ready to go. Still, change is hard. With one income stream halted, it also halted a lot of expenses and freed up time. I didn’t take long to debate, “should I wait this out or jump on Plan B right away?” I knew that if I could begin doing mundane daily chores and look at them as spiritual practice, in awhile my thoughts would clear, leaving room for guidance and new ideas.

“Show me a way,” I asked, “Make me notice opportunities where I‘ll find meaningful and fun and satisfying work.” I can’t ask that, tho, unless I’m prepared to do my part: look at everything that comes after that request as part of the puzzle piece of the answer.

WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER 2020 HORIZONS. Ok, by now you’ve read the December Horizons already but in case you didn’t, the December issue is now online and here are the horoscopes.  The big news in my life (I mean besides having the west woods I’ve known for 37 years completely removed in June for new construction — gahh! ) is the new neighbor moved in and is pleasant and nice. We wave and say hi when I’m gardening in the west yard and he steps onto his porch to let the dog run out for a few minutes. If you’re on my Facebook, you read about all the antics. We talked about the vines in the trees along the property line, he said if I’d cut them, he’d pull them down once they dry out. That made me notice the vines definitely hinder natural tree leafage, so they’ll be glad to be free.  He’s got a big fish tank AND has city water, but my well water is excellent. I let him fill his tank from my hose. Since he’s got city water, when power goes out after storms, he still has water, so now so will we hehe  Continue reading →

Anne Marie Anderson

Before I knew his name, before I saw his face, before I ever knew what hit me, I responded, “I don’t reply to men without a profile picture.” Years and years of on-line dating had made me cynical. In the subject line he wrote: “Just Curious.” Innocent enough. . . yet, the communication, though normal, felt “charged” with innuendo. There was something in the way he scrambled to post his photo, trying furiously after many attempts to recapture and keep my attention. And before I could delete him, his photo popped up.

I vaguely remember being a bit surprised, but I clearly remember saying out loud, “Hmmm, this should be interesting.” I cringed as I read his profile. He was 13 years younger than me; divorced; in fact NEWLY divorced, (making me, ugh, rebound girl, a definite RED flag). His very first question was about the white paper I wrote to influence changing the disabled parking laws. I was bewitched.

You cannot begin to understand the nature of mass events of any kind unless you consider the even greater framework in which they have their existence. A person’s private experience happens in the context of his psychological and biological status and basically cannot be separated from his religious and philosophical beliefs and sentiments and his cultural environment and political framework

All of the issues formed together to make a trellis of behavior, thorns or roses may grow therein that is the individual will grow outward toward the world encountering and forming a practical experience traveling outward from Center in almost vine like fashion forming from the fabric of physical reality a conglomeration of pleasant or aesthetic and unpleasant or prickly events.

Is your job, the life you’ve grown to know disappearing? DON’T FREAK OUT. You have access to lots more inner guidance than you’re aware of right now.  If you could see where you’ll be 2 years from now, you’d smile that you were nervous and uncertain about it right now. Your world is just beginning to change is all.

HOW DO I GET THIS INNER GUIDANCE?
When you open your inner eye, you’ll begin to see your world in a new way.

I’ve not been updating this blog because I’m on Facebook all day and I interact there.
A Facebook friend wrote, “I am starting to wonder about this thing called “Attraction.” Who is showing more Faith as Christians would say. So my question is The Minister has Faith he and his flock of friends will not get sick. Whereas you say you sprayed disinfectant on your neighbor’s mailbox. Does that not draw through Law of Attraction the fear of this Virus and of course the Virus? Just wondering.”

Andrea’s response:  That was an excellent observation. My experience is what someone does and says does not always reflect their vibrational resonance. We attract what we resonate with, not what WE SAY we resonate with. Also, without knowing their life, we don’t know how much momentum is in motion from previous actions.

Manifestation = belief plus expectation, intention and  focus, minus resistance and momentum from prior actions. Continue reading →

Since non-essential stores and practitioners are closed through April 30, I spoke to them and we decided to not print a May Horizons to let everyone catch back up.  All businesses will be back open as soon as the government gives the ok.  

There is a May issue online and there will be a June issue online. Fingers crossed for all to be back to normal in time for the July issue.  If you’re an advertiser or subscriber, your contract will be extended by two months. Deadline for the June online Horizons is May 20th.

The May Horizons is now online and here are the horoscopes.

In the mail I just got a “2020 Ficticious Name Instruction Form for Florida Businesses.” For $150 payable to F.A.N.S. they will renew my ficticious name for me. Only at the bottom does it state “this application for renewal of ficiticious name can be filed directly with the state for the statutory $50 fee.“ That means you can renew it yourself online for $50. I have a year left on mine, yet their notice said “Respond by 1/24/2020” and it came First Class Presort You can check when yours expires here http://dos.sunbiz.org/ficinam.html

I’ve been lazy here, posting all over Facebook and not here. Is there anyone who reads this regularly who is not a Facebook friend? I am on Facebook all the time, posting my thoughts throughout each work and play day, and it may take a few days or for me to post here.  I’ve got a big community of friends on FB and you’re invited to find me on Facebook.
