Tuesday, June 23, 2009.  I saw the movie Idiocracy the other night.  The premise is that most average man in the military is used for a futuristic experiment which accidentally sends him 500 years into the future. When awoken, the man slowly comes to realize that he’s suddenly become the smartest man in the entire world.  I see the movie got mixed reviews, but I found it brilliant in its parody of conventional wisdom and the lemming mindset of an unknowing and uninformed public. Like that wacky and limited belief our folks and their folks used to have that we lead hard, miserable lives and then we die sick, disabled and alone.  That doesn’t have to be the case by any means and I’m seeing more and more evidence of that everyday.

Health insurance safety net? My experience is the only thing in charge of my health care is my vibrational stance.  Start your preventative program now. Eat healthy natural food. Let food be your medicine. Do some research. Nothing to excess. Move around, walk around the yard or the block every day.  In a few short years, you’ll have a new stronger, healthier body.  Think happy thoughts.  The best health insurance.

I  get a kick out of guys I’ve known for decades – who typically kinda ignore me – turning flirty when I wear a snug dress and makeup for a change – it’s just me in here, guys.

Sunday, June 21, 2009.  I just finished the July Horizons Magazine.  Yay, now I have time to play!  Wait, it’s 3:30am – where is everybody when I have time to play?  Right now, all I want to do it go eat some Monk’s Bread raisin toast with Earth Balance and honey and cinnamon on it, and then maybe sleep half the morning.  Enjoy your Sunday.

I just made the most amazing salad: chunk watermelon, diced tomato, sliced strawberries, some slivered red onion, fresh basil from the garden, chopped romaine and a little feta cheese. A few chopped calamata olives, olive oil, lemon and coarse ground pepper – yum!

Cartoon entitled Layoffs at the Plant. The stalk says to the tomato: “We have to let you go.” If it stays there, it will rot and die. Like us.  So it’s good news when we get laid off.  That means we’re juicy and ripe for what we are meant to do next.

Saturday, June 20, 2009.  Today I am going into the home stretch with the July Horizons Magazine. I’ve been late finishing it because I spent last weekend at the Universal Lightworkers’ Conference.  Although I was up in my room working through half of the conference, I still had all the last minute calls and ads to deal with this week.  Half of my advertisers have paid 3-6-12 months in advance, so their ads get placed ahead of time.  The deadline is the 10th, so it is on the 10th that all the calls start coming in.  I think that’s funny, because usually the magazine has left my hands by the 15th, and I get a week of last minute phone calls after it’s gone. Many of the calls are from new people, but a lot of them are from people I’ve know for the entire 17 years I’ve done the magazine.  Some of them I’ve told a dozen times a year for a dozen years that the magazine is out of my hands by the 15th, that the deadline is the 10th, yet it seems they never hear that.  Then I realized why.  Usually when they are calling at the deadline, they are really calling for info rather than to place the ad.  So their question is not really, “am I in time to place an ad?”  Their bigger question is “Can you help me reframe my perception about what it is I do and why it is important and why anyone would need it, and put it into words in an ad for me?
