I don’t always eat healthy stuff

Tonight’s dinner was a tater tot sandwich on a white bread onion roll with mixed greens. And yesterday I ate half a Zero bar. See? I don’t always eat healthy stuff.  “Half a Zero bar?” a pal asked.  Yes, I took a few bites of the Zero bar, then had a friend hide it in their freezer. Then I nabbed it when they weren’t looking and had more bites. Then I gave them custody of it overnight and that was the last I saw of it… Now that’s a true friend.

How did he not see this coming?

Karma - what goes around, comes around

What goes around, comes around

A friend snuck into his mate’s email and is upset that she’s been sneaking around and lying to him. He did the same with his last five partners and never made amends with any of them. When I explained it’s a vibrational match, he hung up on me.  He called the wrong person to complain to, he knows how this stuff works.

A new week begins with a predawn meditation on the beach

Before work today, I took a pre-dawn trip to the beach for morning meditation. I sat on the steps awhile and then took my blanket out to the dunes for morning yoga in the cool air. It was low tide. No one else in sight nor needed to be; I was joined by the ever present Presence. No lights and no moon, yet the scene was lit from within by my own radiant heart.

Amicable Partings: A follow up to A Universal Closure Letter

I wrote in A Universal Closure Letter, Working it out Energetically that two friends recently split and want to do it amicably. She wrote a letter seeking closure. He responded below.  This is a good example of how friends who respect each other communicate effectively, even in the midst of the fray.  It’s a good Universal senario and lesson.  He writes, “You asked what I would write to ____, how I feel.”
“Dear _____,
There are so many conflicted feelings and thoughts in me that I am having a hard time sorting them out. I hope that we can put the anger, the bad feelings, the fear behind us. For me, I don’t want to just be your friend one day, I want to be your boyfriend, your partner, your lover. I want to look at you in my bed, see your smile and have it fill my heart with joy as it did so many times. I don’t think that either one of is happy, I know I miss you something fierce. You are the first thing I think of every morning, and the last thing I think of before bed. I sit on my couch with the cats and tell them “I miss her too.” I look at the garden and see the plants I put in for you, and the things I wanted to plant for you. I look at the places where your things used to be and feel an emptiness that they and you are not there. Continue reading

Help me find my hair donut!

imageREWARD! BOLO Indialantic beachwalkers! I lost my hair donut walking the beach at high tide, be on the lookout for it!  I walked down stairs No. 11, then up stairs No. 10, then over behind Wendy’s to shower sand off, then back across to car parked between No. 10 and 11. This is what it will look like on the sand, Ok, it’s just a brown sock with the toe cut out and all rolled up like a donut, but it’s an important hair management device. A reward to the finder! — feeling hopeful.

It’s a beautiful day

A beautiful Saturday, windows open to the cool air, squirrels chattering, birds singing, MiniCow doing her can can dance – can a kitty get a can? Yes, she can can. Just returned from a lap through the downtown Melbourne art festival, lotsa folks having lotsa fun. It’s a beautiful day to be outside. It’s a beautiful day to be inside. It’s a beautiful day to be.

What do you mean when you say you’ve manifested something?

My friend Renelle West wrote on Facebook: “I have a question. What do you mean when you say you’ve “manifested” an event or a circumstance? I’ve heard people say it when they had a financial windfall, and when they experienced an unpleasant or unwanted event. How would you define the word “manifest” as you use it?”
Andrea commented: Good question. As I use the word, I “manifest” something when I have attracted something to myself: a person, a circumstance. The steps I use to manifest something are to place my attention on it, knowing it’s possible for it to occur and then run a visualization in my head several times a day of what it would be like to be in that situation. How would I feel when I met the right person with the right info to take me to the next level, to offer me the right job, to invite me on a fun adventure, to join with me in a business venture, to connect me with a lost child or friend, to have the remedy for a health blip, to find me the discounted airfare, to let me have peace of mind no matter my circumstances, to gift me with new windows for the house or whatever I seek to do or have.
