Full Moon

Everyone is my teacher

Everyone is my teacher. Some I seek. Some I subconsciously attract. Often I learn simply by observing others. Some may be completely unaware that I’m learning from them, yet I bow deeply in gratitude.

A helicopter just north of us, searching for something

11:15pm I dunno what’s going on but a helicopter is searching for something just north of us, he’s been at it awhile now. A prayer that what is lost, is found. A friend later said a guy a couple doors down from him got lost in the woods.  A Facebook friend suggested we locked our windows and doors.  I didn’t feel in jeopardy but then I didn’t feel in jeopardy when the arsonist walked through my yard just yards from me just moments before being captured.

A dark night of the soul does a body good

Now she knows she can make it on her own

Her dark night taught her she can make it through on her own

A Facebook friend posted: “After her walk last night, my elderly, arthritic dog wanted out again, so I let her into the fenced backyard. It was late and dark and I was tired, and I completely forgot she was out there. All night long, I was awakened by quiet barking and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. Found her curled up in a ball on the brick pavers at 5:30 am. I’m sure she’s not speaking to me. I don’t blame her. Meanwhile, my chihuahua spent the whole night in bed with me, under her Egyptian cotton blanket – laughing it up, I’m sure. She has a competitive streak.” I commented “her dark night of the soul did her good – now she knows she can make it through on her own!”

A friend asks, “How many empty promises do I have to wait for?”

When the pendulum swings, it’s not about I told you so. When people finally show you who they are, it’s up to you to choose whether you want to continue to live a life of one lie and empty promise after another, or if you want better for yourself and your children.  A friend is concerned her mate is having sudden moods and bursts of anger over small things. When asked about it, he clams up or blows up.  She’s walked on eggshells for a year. Friends and family point out the red flags and have never liked him. She left her husband for this man. He said he’d divorce his wife. A year later he’s made no move to do so and he argues that he will handle it in his own way and his own time. She gave him money for a car payment he didn’t make, twice. When asked, he argued that she doesn’t trust him. She doesn’t want to hear “I told you so,” so she doesn’t talk about the situation with friends and family. She loves him and they have great sexual chemistry, but living the lie is eating her up inside.   My response? Lies do that.  Sexual chemistry aside, the fact remains that you intuitively know what is best for you and your family and you do it, period.  It’s not about avoiding “I told you so.” It’s about keeping yourself and your loved ones in as safe and loving and harmonious an environment as possible, and taking all steps necessary to make that come about.  Ask to be shown a way to morph into or out of your current relationship and you will be guided to appropriate action. Trust your intuition.

Taking time for silence and reflection as the full moon crosses the sky

moon full clouds cameoYesterday I spent time clearing the seating area around the firepit, mowing the weeds and ferns that had taken over all summer, moving the chairs around, raking the ground, restacking the firewood. I let the path and seating area grow wild each spring and summer, making only a single file walk to the chair at the mouth of the firepit when I visit. As soon as the weather cools off, my yard calls me and that’s when I begin clearing the trails and opening up the circle.  I awoke about 2:30am and went outside to sit in the newly cleared area. From beneath the oak canopy I could see the full moon high overhead, its light filtering through the branches. I face my chair west so I can watch it move across the sky. At this time of night, in the stillness I can hear the distant traffic on Emerson, Malabar, I-95.  It’s been awhile since I got to sit quietly alone with no other thoughts to tend to but my own. It feels as though a cloak has dropped from me.  No one to answer to, no one needing me, me not imagining I’m needed anywhere. That’s a glorious feeling.  It’s a different life, being a recovering recluse, balancing an outer life of writing and doing psychic readings, and I’m blessed with a partner who gets it. This is the first time in years that I’ve done readings during final layout week. I reflected this morning on how surprised I was to find how easily that flowed. It’s true, the busier I am, the more I can do.  Also, the more silence I can let myself sink into, the more readily the spidey sense comes to the fore. When I’m in that flow, the magic happens.  Tomorrow night is full moon, time to release what no longer serves me.  I’m sure I’ll think of something.

Is it possible to notice something and keep track of it without “vibing” there?

This is a popular question, since there’s so much misunderstanding about how we attract things into our life.  Even when teachers think they know, they often don’t, and they don’t know that they don’t. A friend read If you focus there, you’ll vibe there  and asked is it possible to notice something and keep track of it without “vibing” there? Yes, you can absolutely notice something and not vibe there. However, if you choose to have repeated thought about it, if you have any emotional charge about it, then keeping track of it attunes you to its signal and it puts you in vibrational resonance with it. We may not erase the problems of the world, but we can remove them from our own experience. We do that by taking our focus off what irks us, and putting our focus on something that makes us have good feeling emotion. The reason to stay focused on good stuff is to attract more good stuff.

The solution is simple: Come clean and see what the Universe rewards you with

heart in hands2Ready to be done with this hell of your own creation? Come clean, at least to yourself.  Admit to yourself when were in a bad place and hurt others.  You don’t need to get into it with anyone but offer and ask forgiveness to those you’ve wronged. Pride? Who cares? They’re never going to talk to you again anyway, this way years down the road they might.  This hell that keeps coming down on you and the ones you love? That’s simply your own past momentum catching up to you the first chance it gets. Clear up the past so it doesn’t taint what you want to create for your future. You have a chance for a real life now. Come clean and see what treasures the Universe will pour onto you. Then you can be proud of what you attract.

Don’t give yourself something extra to worry about. If you focus there, you’ll vibe there

focus magic-wand copyA friend wrote and asked, “Do you feel it would be wise to remove our savings from the bank until all of this mess with the government is over? Hubby worried about a run on the banks if the government is not funded…your spidey sense?”  I wrote  back that I didn’t know what was going on but that I did not feel in jeopardy.  I briefly wondered if I should ask my partner what he thought, then I remembered that all that matters is what I myself believe and expect to happen. I remembered that when I really understand how I attract people, circumstances and events into my life, I don’t worry about stuff like this.  If I dwell on problems and talk about them and theorize about them with pals, that keeps me feeling vulnerable, and that keeps me attracting more to feel insecure about. We will not eradicate the problems of this planet, but we can delete them from our own experience.  We do that by taking our focus off what aggravates us and makes us feel insecure, and putting our focus on something that makes us have good feeling emotion.   Continue reading
