The first poem I remember writing was about age 12. It was:
THE PRIVATE “I”
I hide myself
Inside myself
So no one else can see.
Why should I let the others in
When I belong to me?

Two friends recently split and it played out in flying colors in front of friends and family for a year. Each has their own version of what happened. Both admit feeling unheard, misunderstood and disrepected. Domino said “I have written to him what I thought was compassionate and real, it was met with blame and accusations.” But she seeks closure. For me, when I need to be heard, I need to write things out to a partner so I can have my complete say. I like to ask them to do the same, but not everyone can or will explain and express their emotions in writing. I suggested she write the letter to me and that way the work would still be done. The “work” of working a situation out energetically, such as in reflection, prayer and Hawaiian Forgiveness Ho’oponopono Process My experience is that if work is being done by even one, tension between them will begin to soften. One or both parties “working” on it energetically, by reflecting on their part and taking responsibility, by seeking forgiveness and amicable closure, will change the energy the other receives from them and reacts to. This doesn’t mean they will speak or write in the physical, but just to energetically change the feeling within your heart. Doing the energetic work not only frees the one doing the work, it frees everyone involved. No one can weave with you a bond of discord if you contribute no strands to the weaving. Here is the letter she wrote me. It was so Universal that I asked to share it here with you. Continue reading
I spent time yesterday clearing brush in the new patio area of the east garden. I last redid this patio area in February 2012 and it was due for an update. I trimmed the giant bird of paradise plant way back and am slowly digging it out of the ground. I uprooted about 30 miles of ferns and wedelia from the overgrown garden beds. With a rake, I rolled ferns, wedelia and pine needles under the bamboo to act as mulch. It’s the first time in months I’ve spent any real time working in the yard, and it felt good. Yard work is something I really enjoy having quiet time to do. Done solitary, it becomes a meditation and a holy act of communion with nature. Clearing the ferns and wedelia from beneath them, I could feel the arbicola and turk’s cap breathe a sign of relief – ah, breathing room! Continue reading
What you are experiencing in your life right now is the return of what you’ve been giving out up to now. Knowing that, carry on.
Make it easy for friends to feel at ease and comfortable with you. Say and do things that make them feel expansive. Avoid doing what stifles who they are.
You can’t be there for their wellness and be there for their sickness at the same time. A healer must be there for the wellness. You must know it so unequivocally that no matter what the tests show, that no matter what the x-rays show, that no matter what the attitude is, that no matter what the manifestation is, you have to know the potential for wellness is greater than the potential for illness. ~Abraham-Hicks
Now I know who goes back into their posts to make corrections after the fact. It’s a great lesson in evolution of consciousness: what did I mean to say that I should have been mindful enough to think through before I said it the first time?
Facebook friend Charlie asked: “Andrea, how and when did you discover your intuitive gifts? Was there a defining moment in time?” I responded, “Hmmm in a word, no. More like I walked a long way in the fog and it’s only when I got home that I realized I was soaking wet. It’s a gradual and ongoing process. I guess a defining moment was when my mom suggested I contact the Psychic Friends Network to do readings as a form of service. I was like, really mom? wtf? She was right. It was a most holy several years working the line. I did it from 1992-1996, sometimes 40-60 readings a day. I wrote about it here Celebrity Clients; Psychic Friends Network
