I attended Pam Partridge Jacob‘s Divas Rock! Rock Out the Violence Music Festival today  at the Wickham Park Pavilion at BCC, to benefit Serene Harbor Domestic Violence Center. The bands from noon til 7pm were Berna & The Bernouts, Undecided, WEEP, Rock Candy, Queen Bees, Bittersweet and Pam’s band Chain Reaction with Guest Divas.  Pam has a giant amazing voice, she had everyone up and dancing in short order. There were also rows of vendors, a kids’ zone, a poker run, and a car show.  I got to meet Facebook friend Linda Thorpe in person and get a hug.  An hour later, I saw a cell phone unattended on one of the benches so I put it up on the table.  As I saw Linda walk around the corner later, I instantly knew it was hers, so pointed it out.  Neat how just one hug can tune you into someone to catch stuff like that. A day of fun and friends.

I did a fun yard project today! This morning they delivered the May Horizons Magazine, so I packaged up the stacks and took them to the downtown Melbourne post office. I was excited to get back home to my project!  Earlier, I was gifted two wooden pallets and, using the pallets and recycled Horizons Magazines, I made a garden box, then filled with dirt and put plants in.  I covered it with leaf mulch and stuck a bunch of neat rocks around it for design.   I picked up a bunch of oak and pine branch deadfall and cut some palmetto fronds.  I spent a few hours playing in the yard then ran out for a surf check.  Halfway into town, I changed my mind and headed back.  I got home just in time for the heavens to open up and pour some rain on my happy land. I thought I’d have to do some heavy watering in the back yard, but I see rain is scheduled for the weekend, too. I did my garden project today just in time PLUS turned around just in time to not have to drive in the rain.  Friday is Venus’ Day and Venus is all about pleasure, appreciation, gratitude, sharing, peace, beauty, gentleness.  I had a very Venus Friday.

“Bless a thing and it will bless you. Curse it and it will curse you. If you bless a situation, it has no power to hurt you.” – Emmet Fox.  Someone asked me how to “bless.” What I do is simply say, bless this person, bless this situation. When I hear a siren, I say bless the first responders, bless the patient, bless the family, bless the medical personnel. Nothing fancy needed. Just say bless them, bless them and mean it, send love from your heart. They receive it.

A friend’s family member is not speaking to her but she knows it will pass.  Yes, love them from afar! It’s an honor to be the despised one for awhile, it gives them an outlet while they grow into understanding.

I was thinking about my ex today – sigh – the big unanswered question… WHAT THE HECK DID YOU SPILL ON THE FLOOR in your room under the window???? Nothing removes the slickness. Ah, the loose ends left undone…

Not knowing you’re in the cycle, keeps you in the cycle.  A friend wrote on Facebook: “I’ve removed myself this week from several very dark energies and as soon as I did, I started getting some amazing opportunities. Just a word of advice. When you surround yourself with deceitful people, their energy transfers onto you and it’s like being bound in chains. It’s ok to let these people go and never look back. You have to pull down the dark curtains sometimes to let God’s light shine in.”  I don’t know her or the situation, but it’s true.  The thing is, it’s always a vibrational match to the energy you’re putting out. This is especially tough when we don’t know what we did to attract it. In truly forgiving them and moving on, in not discussing it with third parties, that’s where our power and freedom lies. We value them showing us what we’re ready to be free of. Bless the haters, their hate always comes back to them, and when they least expect it.   Continue reading →

Today ended in a sand walk with a spirit brother for some sundown ocean medicine. Sea gulls flying, little crabs scurrying in and out of their holes. He picked up a thumb sized jellyfish to look closely at it then put it gently back in the tide. The sliver of moon was directly overhead. I got to wet my braided leather ankle bracelet for the second time, grounding its intention with good ocean energy.   Earlier today I got a chance to return a favor and pay it forward for one given to me yesterday. Yesterday the printer made an error and I let them slide and got a $ benefit for doing so. This morning an advertiser called and had forgotten to add an important date to their ad. I added it to the online magazine and replaced one of my own ads with a small one for them as a gift. A thank you for the big bucks they pay me all year!  I mowed the front lawn today.  Mowing is something I love to do.  Yard work in general is something I enjoy.  I see it as truly a moving meditation.  I did chair dips at the concrete bench in the courtyard and my crunches on a yoga mat in the soft mulch under the windchimes. I notice the wooden support for the chimes needs a new piece cut for it. Even old and rotting as it is, it can still support a song that is clear and sweet.  Another day in Paradise.

You can serve God and others through raising your family.  Your loving care deposits a bank of love and good intention that we can all draw from.  The soul wants all things from the past resolved so the future is blessed and joyous. If the past is not resolved, then you can expect that when things are going well, it can all be yanked out from under you. That’s why you get it all resolved when you’re down in the muck of it and have far less to lose. That way you don’t spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder.  Alicia wrote:  ”Thank you for this message, sometimes it is hard to stay committed to serving others.”   Continue reading →

If you’re really successful at bullshitting, it means you’re not hanging around enough people smarter than you.” — Neil deGrasse Tyson ..

The good news is if you’ve come across a bullshitter, they will quickly move on as soon as you stop being a vibrational match to their snake charming.

As the planets move in the sky, their effects are played out in the people and events of our lives.  We know what area each transit will be felt in by which house it is passing through. The houses in astrology are those 12 pie slices you’ve seen on the charts, showing Aries on the first house, Taurus on the second, etc.  Your birth time determines your rising sign, which determines how your own houses line up on the wheel.  How the planets line up determines WHAT area of your life will be affected, and how they aspect each other determines HOW it will play out. Below is a list showing how long each planet is typically in each house.  Consult an online ephemeris for exact dates in and out of each house.   Continue reading →
