Be not the slave of your moods, but their master

Be not the slave of your moods, but their master. But if you are so angry, so depressed and so sore that your spirit cannot find deliverance and peace even in prayer, then quickly go and give some pleasure to someone lowly or sorrowful, or to a guilty or innocent sufferer! Sacrifice yourself, your talent, your time, your rest to another, to one who has to bear a heavier load than you — and your unhappy mood will dissolve into a blessed, contented submission to God.” Abdul’-Baha

Here let me create more work for you

Me:  “Come with me to The Waterman and the post office.”
He:  “Ok. Park in front and they’ll put it in the car.”
Me:  “No, I like to carry them myself.”
He:  “I’ll fill these bottles and you go next door to the post office.”
Me:  “Ok.”  I come back and bottles are in the car.
Me:  “You told me to go to the post office!” 

I rearranged the office, now the work just flies out of there

I grew these!

It felt good to hit the gym early in the morning for the first time in weeks.   Brighthouse came and did a cable fix.  I rearranged the office furniture.  The first thing I did was move out of the office anything I hadn’t used the last 6 months —  and using it as a desk to lay papers on was not “using” it. Two hours later, office was cleaned and cleared. I moved out 2 chairs, a bookcase and 2 tables. I wonder now how they fit in here in the first place. I also pared the office altar down to one corner unit. Continue reading →

Law enforcement involvement and a Restraining Order would hurt a party who doesn’t need to be hurt

A friend of a friend keeps trying to intervene in a situation neither party wants her involvement in.  She won’t drop it. It’s none of her affair.  If ever the parties want to discuss it, they will do so directly.  I was asked why I don’t report it to law enforcement. That’s because  (1) I know the law and people are allowed to have their say and (2) I don’t need “the law” when karma is doing its work. While her tactics may have worked in high school, it’s now affecting the lives of people around her who don’t deserve it, including children. If I got a restraining order against her, she would not be permitted at his home.  That’s not how I roll.  I purposely stay away from several venues so she can integrate into the spiritual families there.  I bless her and forgive her for doing whatever she feels compelled to do.  If she has questions for me concerning she and I, she can email them and I’ll gladly answer them.  So can you, so can anyone. I am not a believer of involving authorities when it’s unnecessary. And especially if it’s going to put someone on the map who doesn’t need to have attention drawn to them as it’s not their doing.  It would help if she stopped wearing his label as a badge and stopped bringing it up to get attention for herself.

Tarot Card of the Day: Two of Swords Reversed

Your Card for today.  Consider the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up here for you.
MEANING:  The 2 of Swords reversed is a card about partnership and balance. It may be that the time has finally come where you are truly ready to open yourself up to a deep, meaningful partnership – and this can be on a personal or professional level. However, you will need to keep an eye on the other aspects of your life; all business, all love, etc., makes for an imbalanced and thus eventually problematic life.  Your partnerships are likely to deepen and become more important in your life, partnerships of all kinds. However, beware putting too much emphasis on any one partnership. You have several that need to be priorities in your life. Continue reading →

What’s the difference between her writing about it & me writing about it? It’s between 2 parties and she’s not one of them

The difference is that I write about what I personally experience, and I share my impressions about what I personally experience. A third party is writing criticism about me based on what someone else told her was true. I could have said, “what someone else in anger told her was true,” because, personally knowing each person, to me that is what it appears. But I do not know that as a fact since I was not there to witness it firsthand. So I can’t say that. Unless I was there, it’s none of my affair. I spent the last year standing up for someone she’s just discovering. It’s a new crusade to her but for us, it’s deja vu all over again. If and when he ever wants to reach out to me, he will.  He’s his own man.  If and when I want to reach out to him, I will.  The idea that a third person, who wasn’t there, who has already sought out mutual friends to spread mis-info about me and talks about suing me, would be the appropriate one to mediate, is unconscionable. To those who know either of us for the last 20 years, no more needs to be said. Never stifle your voice.  Always write your impressions, on everything.  Just don’t, however well meaning, write as “truth” what you yourself did not experience firsthand.  That’s keeping it real. That’s also keeping it legal.

I feel so in alignment, Veronica Drake said it well

“Do you know the feeling that comes with being in alignment. alignment with purpose, passion and just life.  It feels like when you are walking side by side with someone and your stride matches theirs! Or how cool it is when the marching band all have the same moves at the same time! I JUST FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT MY BUSINESS… I AM IN ALIGNMENT.”  Veronica Drake
The whole last week has been one synchronicity and stroke of luck after another. I love the feeling of being in the slot, in the right place at the right time. I can tell I’m there when everything flows smoothly. And I just once more rearranged the living room. The chi is flowing!
