Know that each glitch will soon be over with, expect it

I’m flying through the work today. I’ve been updating my websites this week
Horizons MagazineAnimal Spirit GuidanceGoddess Grub Healthy Eats,
Invisible Counselors ProcessSecret To DollarsSisters of the Circle and sending people to my astrology page when suddenly this morning my server went down.  Drat!  In the past, I used to freak and reboot several times and email and call and text my brother asking about it. I learned through experience that it was always up within a short time .  So this time, as soon as I saw the entire website was down – even though my entire morning was dedicated to having my astrology page working – I knew it would be up shortly.  My faith carried me through, my belief and expectation that it was very temporary and on its way to being fixed.  That’s my philosophy about all of life as well.  Bring to mind the result I seek, stay focused on it. Have faith it is on its way to me.  Believe and expect it. Realize that  anything between me and my goal is on its way to being fixed.  Just having that thought in mind, just believing that and expecting that to happen helps a good result flow easily every time.

How do you trust the new one, how do you not compare?

A galpal asks how do you trust the love words of the new one when the “love” words of the last one are still stinging? How do you believe anything they say? My answer:  Don’t compare, period. There are 0nly so many combinations of words. Trust that words said in the moment are true for the moment.  I was once hurt by someone’s false words and it made me take with a grain of salt the next time I heard loving words. I let my past experience diminish the vastness of my partner’s disclosure in the Now.  It revealed to me that I was viewing him through a filter of every partner who came before him.  It was only when I witnessed consistent behavior for months that I began to relax into a place of trust. For me now, what I would do is trust from the first moment and see where it takes you. Communicate what you feel.  Be yourself. Don’t hold back.  Attract the same out of him. You will either mesh or you won’t, but there will be no surprises. See each person each day with new eyes, with no comparison. Act and respond as if every word spoken is the truth of the moment.  It’s the only way you have a chance.

Excerpt “Invisible Supply: Finding the Gifts of the Spirit Within” by Joel Goldsmith

There are principles in every business, in every art, every profession, and every line of work. Those who abide by these principles, even though they may have many struggles, eventually achieve success. In our work it is more so. We need principles with which to work because we are continuously faced with appearances of discord, that is, sin, disease in every form, old age, death itself, lack, limitation, and poverty. The Bible tells us that we will have the poor with us always, and we certainly will have them until the principle of supply is understood, and we will have sickness until the principle of health is understood. The Infinite Way principle of supply is that in our oneness with God, we already have all that the Father has because “I and the Father are one and all that the Father has is mine.” If we individually are experiencing a lack, it is not because of any actual lack. It is because of our inability to make contact with our supply.   Continue reading

Coffea Cruda for sleeplessness with mental hyperactivity

At 2:22am, I can hear the thunder out there and it’s a beautiful starry night. I just took my first dose of coffea cruda, a homeopathic remedy for “sleeplessness with mental hyperactivity.”  Coffea cruda is green (unroasted) coffee beans. Even when I am relaxed, I can have segments of hyper mental activity. It’s an occupational hazard since I act as a vision keeper for friends who ask.  I can have a dozen thoughts of a dozen projects going on in my head at one time, all happy thoughts, all pleasant projects.  But it does keep my mind busy. When I need to shut it down, I’ve found a variety of natural sleep aids that work. I’ll keep you updated on the coffea cruda.

I’ll clean my floors until I fall asleep…

This morning’s meditation: Invisible Supply

My waking thought was the subject of this morning’s meditation: invisible supply, the fact that (my understanding of) God is my supply. This realization changed my understanding and changed my life. I see Google Books has an excerpt of Joel Goldsmith’s book online.  Pages 3-7 tell you enough to rock your world.  Read those pages over a few times, take them into meditation.  Your world will change.  It helps me to see supply, friends, happiness, money as coming out of me, just as an oak tree comes out of an acorn.  It’s all within us. All we need do, as Robert Browning wrote, is to open a way for the imprisoned splendor within us to escape.

Who’s serving themselves on a half shell today?

Baby armadillo

How cute, all curled into his protective shell, no one can disturb him now. But that’s no way to live. Sometimes I do the same thing, go within, hide away. When I reconnect to inner guidance and remember there is no separation, I expand again and the shell drops away.

Control your anger – never be abusive to Mom in her own home

You know that controlling woman you’re so angry and hateful toward? That’s your mother who is giving you a roof over your head. Have some respect.  Don’t like the authority?  Grow up and do it on your own.  Never should you be verbally abusive to your mother in her own home. Stop and think before you react. Develop some discipline. Learn to control your anger.  Take that zen teaching into your heart and practice it.

I love when I can copycat my favorite restaurant recipes

Saturday we went to Pho Cali Vietnamese Noodle House in Mebourne and had crispy tofu with broccoli and brown garlic sauce. I tasted it and thought “I can make that!”  So tonight I did. I cut the tofu larger than normal, which resulted in it not getting crunchy all the way through.  The coating was crisp, and it was good, but I like the crisp crunchiness of the savory tofu I usually make. I cooked half the tofu last night.  For the next batch, I’ll cut it in smaller bites. It’s been in the fridge basking in panko crumbs so it will be perfect.  And I have another head of broccoli to test it out on! Maybe I’ll add some fresh green grapes to the sauce to sweeten it…

I couldn’t wait to put this on Facebook

A friend told about a movie he saw and he couldn’t recall the name of it. “Is it in your browser history?” I asked? “Yes,” he said, “Probably. It’s on my Facebook. I liked it so much that I wrote about it. Then I wondered what I was going to watch next.” Then he cracked up laughing because he was making fun of me putting everything on Facebook because he shares nothing. Brat.
