Today’s session with globe trotting photographer Debi Buck
Had an AWESOME photo session today with world travelling photog Debi Buck. She made it fun, comfortable, professional, affordable! Her studio and grounds are something to be seen (and psst… ask her to show you her gills.) Her website is Beyond The Box Photography. Have her do some fun profile shots or family shots for the summer. I can tell already she’s a sister and a new lifelong friend. Check her out.
My tenants left my rental home nicer than when they moved in – YAY to me for attracting them
My current tenants have moved out and I went by to check the home. It’s cleaner than I gave it to them and they spent thousands in improvements, painting, patio area, shutters, stepping stones, more. Plus they left an awesome weight bench, patio table and chairs I can use. I am humbled by their kind generosity and, best of all, new friends for life. YAY to me for attracting them by always expecting the best and knowing the Universe loves to delight me with better than I ever dreamed possible. I attracted that. Let me bask for a few minutes in how happy that makes me. That’s how more good things come to you, you know. By spending time basking and appreciating what you’ve got. Carry on.
Tarot Card of the Day: Knight of Swords
Your Card for today. Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this. Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor. YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: Knights often mean that someone or something desirable is about to seek you out. The Knight of Swords also points to your physical, emotional, and spiritual energy being at a peak. If you’re waiting for news, you will like what you hear. The Knight of Swords can point to lots of activity, travel, being out and about, getting things accomplished. You are unlikely to feel like waiting for anything to come to you; that’s a good thing… go after your heart’s desire. Continue reading
You Can Save Them With Your Love
Do you realize the power that you have when someone insults you or is unfair to you and you respond lovingly you will SHOCK them as they are not used to the type of response. You are showing them with your actions that there is another way to deal with issues. That SHOCK may cause them to go into their subconscious mind and figure out why they’re acting in this manner and heal their subconscious wounds. You’re giving them permission to forgive themselves and others. When someone is screaming or doing things that are inappropriate it’s obvious that they are not happy and that they are harboring pain from the past. Show compassion so your actions will transform to their truth which is love. We were born with love now we have to unlearn everything that society taught us until this very moment. It is not your job to change them. All you can do is be YOU. Don’t interfere or tell them what they are doing wrong. Quietly send them love and light and they will feel your energy. Your words, actions and energy must always be aligned in order to have the power to transform successfully. You can save them with your LOVE. Susan M. Garcia
IN or OUT, just don’t make me hold the door open
You want to come in my life, the door is open. You want to get out of my life, the door is open. Just one request. Don’t stand at the door, you’re blocking traffic. (Author unknown)
Pretend to reconcile with a mate just to get back at an ex? That’s just playing with her heart and her kids’ hearts
In July 2011, I wrote about The ladies man who presents himself as a guru and a soulmate. A few weeks ago, his current fiancee made a Facebook post that she was heartbroken and devastated that he could leave her, literally bedridden, after promising he was brought into her life to help her heal from other physical problems. I know him to be a sociopath and a narcisscist. I sent a note of support and we had a brief private conversation. She wrote “he’s been with me pretty much 24/7 for over a year, so i know he’s not been cheating.” I knew he became engaged to her within weeks of leaving his last (secret) relationship. I didn’t need to tell her that. A day later she wrote on my FB wall, “Thank you, Andrea, I grew up a little bit more today.” A day later, she said she’d done her own research, including speaking with her ex. He’d convinced her that based on my intervention, they were now back together and had me to thank for it. It would be laughable in that I expected no less from him, laughable except that this is a woman’s heart and mind and health he is playing with. A woman with small children living in the same home with her. Under no circumstances is that funny.

How I Get In The Healing Vibe: Basking and Belly Breathing
A friend just finished a round of chemo and was feeling better. I said, It’s good to feel good, huh? It was cool last night so windows are open to the nature sounds. That’s always so healing for me: simply sitting, listening, feeling the air on my face, feeling how comfortable my body feels where I sit, knowing every day is a new possibility. So if I can take moments to just sit and bask in how good it feels in the moment, right now, I can make those moments last. That is what I find puts me in that receptive healing mode. It helps me to do deep circular breaths as well. I breathe in as deeply and fully as I can. I pooch my tummy out on the inhale and bring my navel to my backbone on the exhale. If I do a slow controlled exhale, the inhale will take care of itself. I raise my shoulders a little as I get to the deepest part of the inhale, to expand the lungs more. More oxygen to the cells= faster healing. It’s a really good anxiety reliever as well. This practice can accelerate your healing, getting more oxygen to your cells and clearing your mind. It sounds easy but daily breathing and meditation and appreciation can be a 12 hour a day job. If you do it right 🙂
The exercise I do to begin each day raising my vibration
As soon as I awaken in the morning, I lie there and bask in how good it feels, how comfy the bed is, how soft, how cozy. I listen to the fan and stick my leg out to feel more of it, then back in when it’s too cool. I listen to the birds waking up and smell the jasmine in bloom. I milk those first few minutes of all the delight I can squeeze out of them until I absolutely have to get up. That starts my day in a good place, always. By doing this, you will begin the day with a raised vibration. That will bring you closer to your dreams and goals.
