Visitations come in different forms to different people. We all know the one. She has to one-up everyone at the table with tales of her adventures with spirit guides and angels. Yet her life is continually a mess and she doesn’t seem to be working on fixing any of it. It used to irk me when I had to spend time with people like that until I realized what was happening. Are they making up stories to get attention? And if they are led to do that, is that all that’s happening? We often mistake what is the deeper happening of a situation. Yes, many people have angelic or spirit guide visitation and their lives may or may not reflect that. Guidance is being given to every one of us every day, and how much we receive depends on the amount of resistance we have. Yes, many people change in the instant of a new realization about themselves, and live their lives forever after in a different way. Some people need a few more a-ha moments before a realization makes its way in before changing their behavior and their lives for the better. Then there are those who have a hard time handling the inner expansion they experience when faced with realizations about themselves. They aren’t ready to look at their lives from that broader perspective because, quite frankly, it hasn’t been a pretty sight up to now. They fail to see the sparkling gem within.   Continue reading →

According to many astrologers, planets which were retrograde at the time of our birth indicate karmic lessons we’ve brought into this life.  Some say they’re an indication of latent genius in areas pertaining to the planet and sign in which the retrograde occurs, and which manifests later in life; still others, that those with retrograde planets are here to increase consciousness and create change on a global scale.Others claim that those with retrograde planets in their natal charts are seldom seen as they actually are. In other words, their full and true potential is hidden, and that there is often much more to an individual with planets in retrograde than can be readily seen.  Because they are karmic in nature, this is an indication of a past life influence.

I wrote in There’s no competition that you can’t make everyone understand. A client is working on boundary issues and trying to shake victim consciousness. It’s a daily struggle. Her outlook is that life is a battle and we have to fight to get our share of a very limited pie. Each year, she relocates her store down the street from another of the same type business. She can’t understand why the neighbor shopkeepers never welcome her with open arms.  Her story is she’s once again victimized by haters. This time she named her business almost the same as a similar business 15 miles away.  She doesn’t see this as an encroachment on a colleague’s boundaries. She doesn’t see that there’s enough for everybody without her having to do that. She’s working on it.  But that’s not the big issue here.

In taking stock of all the projects I’ve been involved in this year, it looks like the ongoing theme has been ease and grace and synchronicity. Sometimes I get so many things going at once that it’s like spinning plates to keep them all going. Other times, it all flows smoothly, one into another. Kudos to me for making a daily choice to live mindfully and intentionally enough to attract such a good flow into my life.

I love having a home gym set up for when I don’t make it to Planet Fitness.  I have a HealthRider Cardio Rider, a Vitamaster Air Advantage exercise bike, and a Marcy Cardio Rebounder set up in the living room, next to my dumbbells and resistance bands.  It’s next to the area I do my morning yoga on. I’d like this body to last me another 63 years, so I’m keeping it strong and in motion. It’s not difficult. Do what you can. Turn on a fitness workout on Youtube and follow it.  Or a yoga video, or tai chi. When I get bored, I switch it up to make it fun. As long as I’m moving, I’m happy and my body’s happy.  See more links below for my adventures in exercise.   Continue reading →

Update: Aaron Dawson just called me back to tell me the rest of the story. See below.  On October 4, 2015 at 9:30pm, Captain Jeff Kraynik posted on Facebook: “So we’re freeing up a lure that got caught up in the mangroves & out floats a note in a bottle. Upon opening, it appears to have been set afloat on 09-09-10 from Treasure Coast Park by: Aaron Dawson, Marion Oaks Lane, Ocala, Florida 34473. Along with the note was a $5.00 dollar bill that was partially decomposed from saltwater intrusion through the cork. I believe Treasure Coast Park may be the public boat ramp & kids summer camp next to River Palm Cottages in Jensen Beach, about (45) forty five miles south of where we found the bottle. So if anyone knows Aaron, have him give me a call.”    Continue reading →

I had a most vivid dream this morning. In it I was lying in bed thinking of getting up when, shoulder first, my body began to lift in a slow, twisting motion. I felt my head drop and loll, yet I still felt the pillow under my head and my hand under the pillow. It didn’t feel like an OOBE lift out, easy and light, but rather more slow and deliberate. I’ve done enough OOBE exercises that I’m able to quickly relax into it as it happens and take the observer role. There was a slight taffy-like feel to the lifting up as when, during energy work, you draw congestion out of the body. I was able, in the dream, to alternate my attention between the one on the bed and the one rising, depending on where I focused. Both were “asleep” and unanimated, but both “awake” enough to observe what was happening and I was able to access to their thoughts.   Continue reading →

The humidity finally broke enough for me to venture outside for some yard work. I love being all woodsy but that means I don’t get the breezes until they’re almost gale force. The thermometer said 72 outside this morning but 93% humidity and no breeze makes it feel about 80. It felt good to be outside without being wrapped up like a beekeeper to keep mosquitoes at bay. I was going to simply take a walk, but I know me so I dressed to go into the deep woods and stuck hand pruners in my back pocket. In my yard, I can get quickly overwhelmed if I ask “where to start?” I’ve learned to have some basic tools at hand then just take a stroll and be ready for whatever unfolds before me. I try to do the same with life. Continue reading →
