Big brother speaks: 11 days til end of the Mayan calendar

Brothermine Jerry

My brother  wrote me today: “11 days left until the end of the Mayan calendar.  I think I’ll ride over to the Georgia Guide Stones on the 21st to video any who may decide to bark at the moon.   I have a 2 step process to deal with any catastrophe that may befall me that day. (1) Place head between legs.  (2) Kiss ass goodbye.   It’s just all so funny to me when people spend so much time being overly concerned about maintaining their physical existence, then totally neglect the spiritual part of who they are.    I think there are going to be two distinct groups of surprised people on Dec. 22.  The first group is going to be amazed that the world still stands, while the second group will be disappointed that there was no mystical grand universal spiritual awakening.

“The War on Men Through the Degradation of Woman” ~ Jada Pinkett-Smith

How is man to recognize his full self, his full power through the eye’s of an incomplete woman? The woman who has been stripped of Goddess recognition and diminished to a big ass and full breasts for physical comfort only. The woman who has been silenced so she may forget her spiritual essence because her words stir too much thought outside of the pleasure space. The woman who has been diminished to covering all that rots inside of her with weaves and red bottom shoes. Continue reading

When woman is lost, so is man. The truth is, woman is the window to a man’s heart and a man’s heart is the gateway to his soul.” ~ Jada Pinkett-Smith

For the one I just snapped at

For the one I just snapped at: the “weird energy” (you say) I’m in today is me being me, with all my attention going to ME and MY WORK and focusing only on that. I know you’re not used to that. Not to fret, this too shall pass 🙂

It is easy for me to say no when it has to be a no

Each time you find it hard to say no to someone for something you do not want to or are unable to do, that places resistance on whatever you are trying to attract in other parts of your life. It also leaves the other one hanging when they could find someone else who is happy to do what you are unavailable to do. Knowing that, it is easy for me to say no when it is a no.

Oh, no, not the end! The End is always followed by a new beginning.

I was sitting in the waiting room of a doctor’s office recently and waiting also was a grandmotherly type and a girl about 3-4 years old. Cartoons were on the tv and after the first, it said “The End.”  The grandmother looks up and says, “the end,” and goes back to her magazine.  The child begins to cry and say, “oh no, not the end!” The woman chuckles and calls her silly.  The child repeated it several times before I felt obliged to jump in and say, “It’s ok. It’s just the end of that one cartoon.  When you hear “The End,” it means the end of one thing and the beginning of something else. The End is always followed by a new beginning. New beginnings are fun.”  The woman looked up at me and hugged the little girl close and mouthed the words, “thank you.” “There are always new beginnings,” the woman said to her, smiling at me with her eyes.  How sad a child has to fear those words. What a blessing that the grandmother now has something else to say to her when she gets upset.

Age 26 and your hobby is getting loaded? Who am I to judge?

As I was waiting to pick up a friend from work, I heard someone outside the office on a cell phone trying to find a ride home.  I asked where he was going and it was right on 0ur way home.  Jeremy asked him what he did for fun and he said he hung out with his roommates at the bachelor pad and got loaded.  He’s 26.  Ah, youth. Oh, I left out the best part. The apartment is right behind the bar, so it’s easy to walk to and nobody gets a DUI.  I love when I catch myself being judgmental. He’s split from his wife and child and been thru jail, I don’t know how hard life has been for him, he probably needs to relax a little. And no I shouldn’t be ashamed of myself for judging him, just be thankful I can catch myself at it pretty quickly and correct it.

I hit the floor running this Monday morning

A busy day so far, I was up early to begin billing, opening mail, went to the bank and post office, got my oil changed and tires rotated, got water bottles refilled, went back to the bank. Lunch was a head of romaine, a hunk of smoked provolone flavored soy cheese and a cup of hot veggie boullion. I went to the vet and got Frontline Tritek for the cats, came home and hunted them down and applied it. I brushed two kittens’ worth of fur out of Izzy’s coat. I emptied the garbage and recycling cans into the bins outside, I watered the front bamboo while I swept the front walk. I walked the property and dragged the oak branch deadfall to the firewood pile and separated the kindling. I did the dishes for the last two days, I use 3-4 cups and saucers and spoons each day. I cleaned the floors and even cleaned the car seats. How I find time for a job I have no idea.  I was glad to see this post 10 hours later, when I felt I hadn’t accomplished much all day.  It was just not much computer work…
