On the Casey Anthony Acquittal

We may not like to think a criminal can attract getting away with their crime, but it’s all about intention, belief, expectation and alignment. The good news: with every passing moment our intentions change, our belief wavers and we move in and out of alignment.  Translation: she will still get hers down the road.

I bought my new bed yesterday!

I bought my new bed yesterday.  On Saturday I decided it was time  I downsized my bed.  Sunday I collected the local mattress sale ads and Googled for information and recommended models.  On Monday I visited all the local stores and tried out the beds to see where my price range would be.  I’d decided on the  Lady Englander Summerville Visco Pillowtop, with the King Koil Garnet Eurotop a close second.  Tuesday I checked the King Koil price at one more store before I made my decision.  I’d brought a friend along and he unknowingly made it easier for me to make my decision.

Let’s do some Ho’oponopono for the Casey Anthony Matter

I like when the Universe gives a big group of people a project to work on together.  I think a little Ho’oponopono is in order after the Casey Anthony verdict. Anyone who has an emotional feeling about it is being given the opportunity to work on their issues with judgment, forgiveness and letting go.   I know that everything in my world is my responsibility, simply because I’m aware of it. “I forgive you and for whatever my (unknown/karmic) part in the situation, I ask forgiveness, I thank you for your part in my life and I love you.” Really.  As the Beloved B aka Bryan Tilford says, “Today we were all found not guilty.”

Downsizing my bed and re-routing neural pathways

Off and off the the past year I’ve considered downsizing from my beloved  Simmons Beautyrest Marquee king to a full size bed.  My thought is that a double bed will free up enough space to give me an expanded sewing corner.  The king bed was fine when I was sharing it with kitties and paperwork, but now it’s just big and bulky.  As often as I move the furniture around at my place, I’d prefer the extra space.

I attract a big overage refund from my mortgage company

Today I called my mortgage company to ask a question and they re-evaluated my escrow account and are sending me a big check and reducing my payments by $60 a month!  Two days ago, I wrote at Yesterday’s Synchronicity Saved Me From Bank Charges that I’d inadvertently paid a 4 figure bill out of the wrong checking account and I got to spend the morning fixing it.  Had a meeting with Wayne Wirs not cancelled,  I’d have missed seeing the overdraft  notice come in and fees would have been applied.  The synchronicity was not surprising, and it all worked out fine.

Today I went to pay my mortgage and noticed the amount was $36 higher than usual.  I called the mortgage company and found they needed to re-evaluate my escrow after I switched homeowners’ insurance companies for an almost 50% annual savings.  Good news!  They’ll send me a check for $800+ and my new mortgage payment is now about $60 less than I’d been paying.  Is my life magical and so I believe it is, or do I just think it will be magical and it is?

Summer in Florida? Carry an umbrella on a cloudy day

Yesterday I had just walked into WalMart when it began to rain.   I’d seen the dark clouds forming so I’d taken the umbrella in with me.  When I came out, it was pouring.  Shoppers were lined up waiting for it to let up so they could run to their cars.  I checked out the crowd then walked a young mom then an elderly woman out to their cars.  I got soaked but it made me feel like Superman must have felt when he saved Metropolis.  It was so worth it!

Mindfulness practice heals the cells in our brain and body

Mindfulness practice does what no drugs can do.  It causes neural pathways to grow thicker and more robust, more capable of carrying signals.  Anyone can benefit from this. Childhood trauma can cause neurons connecting critical thinking with emotional control in the brain to whither and die. Mindfulness heals these connections.  Compassion, empathy, understanding, acceptance and other benefits come from daily sitting practice of mindfulness.  Here is a tip for parents: Daily sitting 25-30 minutes a day heals the neurons connecting critical thinking with emotional control in the brain.  No beta waves means no words, no words means no story.  Nothing better than a direct experience of the universe that is beyond words.  The real universe is so much bigger than can be defined by words or contained by thought we let go of the basis of thinking to experience it in all its magical glory.  It is akin to being reborn fresh and new when thought returns.  From gong musician/therapist/healer Richard Hite.
