Isn’t it interesting that it’s not the complex metaphysical principals that trip most people up; it’s the basic 101 messages like “we’re all connected” and “what goes around, comes around” and “what you focus on expands.”

I went to Lowe’s and bought a kitchen faucet set and called the plumber to install it. Now when I turn the water on, it is shooting out all over. Well at least it’s on a day I am doing heavy cooking and need it to not do that. Ya gotta laff. I’ve got 2 pitchers of water from the bathtub sitting on the kitchen counter to use as I cook, so I don’t have to use the faucets to clean up. I feel like in pioneer times. Except for the house and electric stove and indoor plumbing and stuff.
OKAY Sunday 1:19pm I just finished preparing the kitchen for the arrival of the plumber to replace the faucet and handles. Service dudes love me. I clear their working space and give them lots of light. That also makes the photo shoot go easier. Having running water in the kitchen is awesome. Not having it for 2 days taught me I can eat right out of the saucepan and that’s ok. In fact, I’m doing it right now 🙂
I sat with some friends Sunday morning to welcome a new sacred space one of them had created in her side yard. Almost hidden beneath a huge and tangled Brazilian pepper tree, she’s created a magical faeryland with a tent as her writing and meditation room. I haven’t asked everyone permission, so I am not naming names, but it’s not the names that matter. What matters is that we’re a group that has come together in synchronistic fashion and as we all sat together, some of us for the first time in person, we all felt the bond of our sisterhood. Aged 28 to 58, we sat in a circle and honored the intention of the dedication of this sacred space. Continue reading
finished the April issue of Horizons Magazine yesterday and headed outside to do some hand watering for a few hours. I can see the turk’s cap and arbicola are coming back, and the mulberry tree is loaded with new leaves and small berries. I have 3 loquat trees all getting fruit at the same time, and the live oaks have all dropped their dead leaves as the new ones have come on. The entire property floor is covered in fallen oak leaves and everywhere I walk there is a crunch, crunch. I’m once again under a high canopy of shade, and getting a little more privacy now that the live oaks are waking back up. I walked around with my clippers and pruned the frostburnt ends off. I made a few dozen cuttings and stuck them in the ground for a privacy hedge by next summer. I talked to the orchid tree, bent her branches and gave her a few taps to wake her up. She’s shown me dozens of baby orchid blooms in the past week. Continue reading
A friend has let a lawsuit get out of hand without legal representation and he’s about to lose his house because of it. He thinks it’s not fair, and has sent long, long letters to the Court. I told him what he sent is not a legal response. He got advice online on what to send the Court. I read his formal response and he doesn’t cite relevant case law. I told him to go to the law library. He said finding info online is “easier”. I told him what he finds online includes people’s opinions of what they think the law is and someone else takes it as gospel and loses in court. PEOPLE: Don’t let that be you. Continue reading
I was really busy on Tuesday, well into final layout of the April Horizons, with phones ringing like crazy, when I got a call from my friend Maria. “Are you busy? she asked? Hmmm four days after deadline with just 5 days to get the April mag done – am I busy? Aaaugh! Final layout week I usually stay glued to the computer and don’t drive out unless I have to. I schedule myself tightly and, we all know what happens when we do that. So Maria is about a half mile from my office and needs a ride into Melbourne. Well, that’s different. I am always glad to help a friend. Continue reading
“Nice airhead damsel.” “A shielded American.” “I’m a deadline chaser.” What do these 3 phrases have in common? They are all anagrams, or phrases made up using all the letters of my first and last name. One recent popular anagram is the name of the movie, October Sky, which is an anagram of Rocket Boys, the title of the book the movie was based on. They anagrammed it to give more credibility and better market appeal to moviegoers. Rearranging the letters of “Clint Eastwood” gives “Old West action,” “Madonna Louise Ciccone” gives “Occasional nude income,” and “William Shakespeare,” “I am a weakish speller.” Continue reading
I like the daylight saving time, because I like daylight later into the night. Yesterday evening I was hand watering plants, and I noticed that all the arbicola that had been frost burnt back in January was all growing back. All of it, all up along the stalk new sprouts and leaves were coming on. I was so glad I’d not cropped them when they looked dead. I could see they still had life force in their energy field. Thank you Barbara Brennan and Donna Eden for teaching me to read auras so I could interpret the energy field.
The live oak trees are getting their new leaves and filling out, and the same with the mulberry tree, which now has a gazillion tiny mulberries. The loquats didn’t lose their leaves, but now they are all filling with loquats. The cold will have made them sweet. The laurel oaks did not lose their leaves, the orchid tree that lost everything has new leaves. Even the grass seed put down by the city after they installed the city water pipes is growing green and tall. It seems new growth is everywhere.
A good sign.

I clicked on the ad, knowing it would take me to a page where I would get no info other than the above until after I’d given out my email address to get signed up on someone’s never-ending spam list to discover their ‘missing step”. I’ve learned to never sign up for anything that uses fear to sell to me, and to never give my email address out for a free gift just to access a website. In the past I’ve purposely spelled my name wrong just to see how many lists someone new will add me to without my permission and it was dozens. Continue reading
Last night I watched L.A. Ink for the first time in awhile. I see Kat Von D has had some facial plastic done, as her face has that weirdly frozen above the upper lip line look. She used to have a beautiful fluid smile. In tonight’s episodes, Kat hires a new employee and Liz Friedman comes in with no background in the business, and with all sorts of ideas. She opens by telling the camera that she’s smarter than most people she knows. She sees herself as the new shop manager, when it appears she’s been hired to help out. The first two days Liz reminds everyone that she comes from a corporate background, that she’s used to running the show. She’s a wise ass, she’s sarcastic and her humor revolves around cutting people down. Continue reading
