When we die a physical death, when we pass from this Earth plane, we move on to the next where we survive in consciousness and continue what we incarnated to do. www.yogashakti.org

About Mataji April 2, 1927 — February 20, 2015.

Suhag A. Shukla in Huffington Post on Ma Yoga Shakti: “Today we have amazing women like Ma Yoga Shakti, the adopted guru of my in-laws and a person with whom I have had the honor of spending time. She, amongst others, in following a higher calling, have entered the traditionally male-dominated world of Hindu ascetics. She is an embodiment of maternal and wisdom-filled love to all those who approach her. But unlike many other monks who are part of a larger sampradaya (tradition) or guru-shishya parampara (teacher-student lineage), she has tread a path of her own — inspiring, educating, and counseling thousands of souls along the way in a distinctly feminine way. ”

Mataji is one of 5 living female hindu saints documented in Daughters of the Goddess, The Women Saints of India authored by Linda Johnsen.  Read here https://books.google.com/books?id=ACdgNlL-q3cC&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=ma+yoga+shakti&source=bl&ots=OdkrqP1eqM&sig=ynQriv4csDux4MWZyYYiTMG8mMI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3rUAVbz0GtLlsASQhoDQBg&ved=0CB0Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=ma%20yoga%20shakti&f=false

A zany series of “mishaps” this morning put me in the right place at the right time. I’d “accidentally” overshot the exit for Morgana Starr and had to double back. Had that delay not happened, I would not have been right behind a car that got a flat on I-95. I followed her off the road. I’d met her years before. I changed her tire. We chatted about coincidences. She booked an appointment with me for next week. When I got home, I saw her name on the calendar, names waiting for call time cancellations. Talk about coincidence.

Childhood friend Mike Gomez asked for some “cabin in the Everglades” pics from the past and I found an article from 1982. The Miami Herald thought my dad’s lifestyle was novel so they sent a reporter each year for an update on the hermit living in the Glades. Mike was like another brother as we were growing up and went on our adventures with us.   I saw this headline in Nassau. I had a 3 day weekend for President’s Day 1982 and decided to go on a cruise out of Miami to Nassau. I didn’t even consider that it was also Valentine’s Day weekend. The entire cruise was couples, with very few solo. The Greek crew members all paid special attention to the single women and it was quite a fiasco, since I like hanging out alone. I also got seasick for the first time ever, after having been on small boats my whole life. When I walked into Nassau first thing in the morning, I saw my father and his wife on the cover of the The Sunday Miami Herald when I’d not been prepared for the story. Here’s the article in pdf format > http://horizonsmagazine.com/Daddy3pg-Miami-Herald.pdf

If you think the only way you’ll be happy is related to dollars, you’ll keep dollars and happiness at arm’s length. When you can discover how to be happy without it, to be happy with what you have right now, dollars will come out of nowhere and rain down upon you.

One scenario is one wants to seek a new partner but doesn’t know how to tell their current partner they want to split. Another is one is tired of giving a friend a ride everywhere and not getting gas money for it, but feels selfish bringing it up.  A Facebook friend said, “I really don’t understand why people can’t just tell me what they are thinking, how they are really feeling about something, what they think of me or about me, and be upfront with me than going behind my back or beating about the bush.”  I’ve experienced it this. Maybe one doesn’t want to hurt the other’s feelings by mentioning it, but it is far more hurtful to NOT say it. Maybe they don’t want to rock the boat or they think they are successfully hinting around enough that you’ll “get it.” They are not. Come right out and say in clear blunt language what the problem is and what a solution might be.

2-18-15 New Moon night, a black night sky and a chill 42 degrees overnight. Benny the Cat cried pitiously to be let out the back door last night about 9:00pm. He doesn’t like using the cat door, so he’ll stand and cry at the front or back doors until I open it. I didn’t like him being out in the cold all night, not knowing where he goes. I called outside for him several times but he didn’t come in until 3:45am. He was in eating for 5 minutes when I picked him up and his body temp was normal, so he’d been somewhere warm. He’s lucky he’s hungry!

2-19-15  Second coldest night, 40 degrees, and Benny was out again overnight and came in at 5:30am. Although it was 40 degrees outside, within five minutes his body temp was back to normal. Busted! I’ll bet he’s sleeping inside someone’s home! I’m thinking of making up a poster to hand to the neighbors so I can keep track of him.   Continue reading →

You can discover what your point of attraction is — what you expect and believe is possible for you — by looking around and taking notice of what is in your life right now. Do you need to crank up what you believe and expect is possible for you? It may be you just need to release resistance and overcome some doubt and fear. Do some creative visualization, it works when you work it.

LEARN FREE: The Secret2Dollars. No cost, no kidding

Remember the old question: If someone offered you a million dollars to push a button which would kill someone else, and no one would know you did it, would you do it?  Would you still do it if you knew by doing so, that would add your name to the list of those willing to play that game, which means you might be the next one to be destroyed by someone else upon their decision to choose the million dollars.  What games are you signed up for? Do any of these sound familiar?   Continue reading →

Benny the Cat and YinYang have been getting along, eating at the same station and sleeping at opposite ends of the couch.  No one has ripped anyone’s face off yet.  It took them a year to get to this point.  Ben is 2, which makes him 24 in human years.  Yinnie is 14, which makes her 120. Here’s a chart to figure cats’ ages.  When Benny first came on the scene, YinYang wanted nothing to do with him.  After several years of being one of 3-5 cats in the family, she’d gotten to be “the only cat” for a year and liked it that way. Suddenly a fumbling, frisky spirit entered her quiet world and she was zen no more.  But isn’t that always the way?  Folks drop in from out of the blue to rock the boat and take us out of familiar territory. Like the Coyote in the Animal Medicine Card, they make us question where we are and why we’re there? Sometimes the coyote is simply the silly, playful, clueless one and that’s the type Benny is.  He’ll run up on her on the driveway and want to play, and she’ll freeze him out with a glare.  It used to be a glare and a growl and a hissy fit.  Now they walk back and forth past each other with little reaction. She had to slowly get used to his energy, to his vibe.  They’re not always on the same page but at least they’re not always at each other anymore.  Small steps!

From catster.com

Your cat’s first year makes him 15.
His second birthday makes him 24.
Each year after = add 4 years.

That makes Benny the cat 24 and YinYang 120
