I hate to waste food, but I’ve learned to discard it rather than eat the few bites left just to not waste them.  My tummy thanks me, my hips thank me and my clothes thank me by fitting perfectly.  Who knew at 59 I’d be thrilled with how my butt looks in jeans?   I wrote in Counting Carbs — I Won’t Do That Again “The last thing I want to do when I’m an old chick is drag around some fat and sick body while I’m trying to have my fun adventures.”

If you could begin again now, with no responsibilities from the past, no debt, no family obligations, what would you do?  The money doesn’t matter and you can bring from the past anything you’d like.  What would you do?

When you get derailed in conversations with friends, is that because you’ve got a thinner rail, or because they are closer to the ground and have less fear of falling?

I had a fun day Saturday, driving around Melbourne with Bryan Tilford, delivering the June Horizons Magazine to Creative Energy, Aquarian Dreams, Nature’s Market and Herb Corner.   We had fun goofing off and on the way home went to Chili’s for lunch.  We had chicken ceasar salads and made little sandwiches out of the croutons and shaved parmesean cheese.  When I got home I crashed out from 5:00pm til 1:00am.  When I woke up and reached for my glasses, they were missing. How can my glasses be missing, when all I did was nap in the big puffy chair? I felt all around me within arm’s reach and nothing.  Not in the chair, not on the floor. I got up and retraced my steps.  Increasingly I don’t need my glasses, so I’ve taken to laying them down, but usually only in obvious places where I can’t miss them.  Interestingly enough, my glasses from last year were also missing and I had to use a pair of designer eyeglasses from the 1970’s that made me look like Fearless Fly.  The new glasses are so lightweight and rimless that I needed to wear glasses in order to find them.  And voila, there they were.  Apparently when I was in the kitchen feeding Izzy, I’d tossed them in the trash.   That’s a new one.

I love it when I meet someone for the first time and we both get that we’ve known each other for lifetimes and are just reconnecting in this one.  And even better: when our issues and neuroses complement each other and don’t overlap.  Better still when we can call each other on our stuff and laugh about it and no one takes it personally and gets ticked.  That’s huge.  I have a few friends like that and it’s always nice to come across a new one.

I was speaking with a friend the other day and rubbing her fingers for her.  As I rubbed over the knuckles, I felt hot spots and got the distinct impression she was having a problem she didn’t need to be having.  She told me she had arthritis and my first impression was “you don’t have to have it.”  I know not to say that to just anyone, so I held my tongue.  We’ve not yet had the conversation about how thought and belief affects and programs your physical body and how pretty much any physical condition can be reversed by change of diet and change of thought.  When she said arthritis, my inner intuition said, “she doesn’t have to have this and it can go away for her pretty quickly by eliminating something she eats.”  Then my human thoughts turned to how can I have this conversation with her when she is not asking for my input?  I try not to give unsolicited advice, since that’s a good way to alienate friends who think you’re acting like a know it all.  But I was interested enough to Google arthritis and see what foods are known to contribute to it.   I don’t know her eating habits except she does not eat red meat nor drink alcohol, coffee or tea.  My mother suffered with arthritis for years and she had a fast food and processed food diet.  The info I learned could have eliminated all that pain for her.  Here’s what I found: Continue reading →

I received an email this morning from someone looking for a like minded metaphysical group.  I get so many questions like this, I am asking you to help me answer it.   The writer asks  “I am in the process of coming out of doing all my metaphysical and spiritual work and discovery solo and distance into needing to find a group that is also on a similar path in order to get into what I am here to do. I am not sure where to start. I was wondering what kind of groups we have here, maybe some involving incarnated elementals and earth angels. I myself and am an incarnated mer on a mission and am still trying to get into the groove of things. All of my contacts are distance and it’s time for me to come out of the woodwork and start actually working with like minded people. Do you have any information that may be relevant for the Brevard area? I am in Palm Bay.”

I know there are a lot of groups going on, but unless they advertise in Horizons Magazine (plug – the calendar of events is just 30c per word!), there are too many to keep track of and they are ever changing.

Elementals and elementaries
The Elements

I’m in my new sitting room drinking hot ginger tea and watching two little brown bunnies having breakfast in the back yard.  I’d gotten up early and was going to drive to the beach for a surf check, then opened the garage door and was reminded my Toyota Prius got towed yesterday.   Saturday I had quite the adventure with it not starting.  I was going to go banjo shopping with Bryan Tilford and I put the key in the ignition and… nothing.  It was like a dream sequence where you do all the right things but nothing works as it should.  I checked with Byran and he assured me I was awake.
