Hardee S. Henderson, III

Hardee S. Henderson, III

Rest in peace, old friend.  In 1992,  Hardee was the last attorney I worked for before doing what I do now.  Hardee could be a very kind and generous man, and his personality was bigger than life.  He was beloved by many. He gave me courage to morph from a 22 year career as a criminal defense paralegal into doing my own thing. We’ll meet again, my friend.  Thank you for everything you added to my life. July 15, 1952 – May 30, 2013. Florida Today obituary here. MS Obituary here.  A celebration of his life will be held Friday, June 14 at 12pm, at the chapel at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy’s Upper School (5625 Holy Trinity Drive, Melbourne).  In lieu of flowers, please send donations to To Write Love On Her Arms (twloha.com).

Bury St. Joseph to Sell Your Home

St. Joseph statutes come in many looks, choose your favorite

St. Joseph statutes come in many looks, choose your favorite

St Joseph is known to the world as best real estate agent ever – since hundreds of years he has been helping people to sell their homes.  Where should you bury a statue of St Joseph?  According to tradition if you really want to sell your home quickly you should bury a statue of St. Joseph upside down in the yard of your home. Praying to St. Joseph for a quick sale and burying a statue of him is said to always bring a fast offer on the home. Realtors and homeowners swear that this legend is true and that if you do bury a statue of St. Joseph while praying for a quick sale that your prayers will be answered.

But make sure that you bury that statue of St. Joseph in the right spot. If you don’t bury the statue in the right spot then you might end up helping the neighbors across the street sell their home before yours or you might end up helping a person on the street behind you sell a home. Where you put that statue of St. Joseph can make a big difference in how quickly the home sells. The tradition of burying a statue of St. Joseph in the yard of a home that you’re trying to sell goes back thousands of years. It is believed that because St. Joseph is the patron saint of home and family, if you pray to him for help when you’re selling your home and you bury a statue of him on the property he will help you by sending buyers to the home so that you will get a quick offer on the home. Time and time again people that are trying to sell their homes have turned to St. Joseph for help and thousands of people that have successfully sold homes are convinced that St. Joseph answered their prayers and helped sell the home.   Continue reading

 We train people how to treat us

We train people how to treat us by how we act and react with them, and by what we allow them to get away with.  Family, friends, coworkers, everyone. How do yours treat you and when will enough be enough?

This is transformation

When it’s really dark, do something that brings in light. Even if it feels like it’s not working, do it anyway. Do it long and hard, if necessary.  Call in God’s Light. Chant “Love, Peace and Harmony”.  Chant, “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” Thank the Divine for the darkness and the opportunity to transform it.  Thank all souls involved.  Bless them.  Ask for forgiveness.  Give forgiveness.  Love them.  Love yourself.  Love the Divine. The light will break through. And the heart cracks open. The mind releases its grip. Peace comes. Truth comes. Gratitude abounds. This is transformation.   Marsha Valutis

 

Letting the molecules settle down after a whirlwind week

It’s been a whirlwind week and I may take today off just to relax alone in the silence.  I love being around friends and activity – for awhile. Then I’m ready to get back to my sanctuary and let the energy field smoothe itself out.  Nature is where I revive myself, where I find myself and come alive, whether working in my veggie garden, walking the enchanted trails through my oak and pine woods, or sitting out at the firepit at sundown.  I can be fanatical when something brings me pleasure, I want to share it. I smile to think of how I tried the past year to drag a pal out into the magic of nature but that wasn’t their healing mode, it was mine. What works for me doesn’t work for everyone. I can only be inside “the box” (a building full of electicity) for just so long.  Then I have to be outside long enough to let my nervous system synapses go back to a harmonious firing routine.

Fear speaks: I have no power if you don’t do what I tell you

“Once there was a young warrior. Her teacher told her that she had to do battle with fear. She didn’t want to do that. It seemed too aggressive; it was scary; it seemed unfriendly. But the teacher said she had to do it and gave her the instructions for the battle. The day arrived. The student warrior stood on one side, and fear stood on the other. The warrior was feeling very small, and fear was looking big and wrathful. They both had their weapons. The young warrior roused herself and went toward fear, prostrated three times, and asked, “May I have permission to go into battle with you?” Fear said, “Thank you for showing me so much respect that you ask permission.” Then the young warrior said, “How can I defeat you?  Fear replied, “My weapons are that I talk fast, and I get very close to your face. Then you get completely unnerved, and you do whatever I say. If you don’t do what I tell you, I have no power. You can listen to me, and you can have respect for me. You can even be convinced by me. But if you don’t do what I say, I have no power.” In that way, the student warrior learned how to defeat fear. ”  Pema Chödrön
