The choices that others make cannot negatively impact your experience unless you include them in your experience through your attention to them. Things come to you only through your Vibrational invitation—and they remain only by your continuing attention to them.  Abraham-Hicks    … I agree it’s hard to keep our attention off something right in front of us.  One reason we “practice” daily meditation is to discipline the mind. You can’t meditate?  Just the act of sitting for 10 minutes a day, watching thoughts arise, then releasing them with your breath, is what best trains the mind.  You’ll find you can turn your attention where you want it to go when you begin doing this.

We are not on  single path.  It is better just to encourage each other and help each other where we can on our own paths, aware that we are going the same place but from different places and that this is really not a place at all.  Will Bason

No more bandaids - fix it

A friend’s son, mid-30’s, has been in and out of rehab (and jail)  for oxycodone the past few years.     He’s been clean a year and it’s been a long road, with him living in his parents’ home.   A month ago he wanted to sign himself back into treatment and asked his parents to meet him at Circles of  Care for intake.  He never showed, they went back  home to find he’s robbed the house of $40,000 of his mother’s diamond jewelry, plus broke into the safe and took thousands in cash.  These are not people who have much, so this was all they had.   And this, after a year being clean.  His mom is heartbroken but has finally wised up enough that they filed a police report and found some of the jewelry at local pawn shops.  He’s been charged with grand theft and trafficking in stolen property.  He has prior arrests for drug possession, theft, trafficking and felony violation of probation.  He’ll be given much time to think and decide how he wants to spend the rest of his life.   Prayers for the family who has to be strong at times like this.

For my long time pal Deb who gave birth to a radiant being 40 years ago today:  “I’m in place that’s soft and warm.  My organs now completely formed.  I grow so quickly it’s hard to see  the difference between you and me.  I hear my Mommy’s heart beat strong.  A lullaby to me, a song.   With her every movement to and fro, she rocks me gently, with love, I know.   As she goes about her busy way, she thinks about me all the day. Will I look like my big Bro?  How fast or slow will I grow?   Right now inside my Mom I’m safe.  Secure and cuddled in that hidden place.  I know not worry or troubled times.  I feel comfort. I’m completely fine.  In these many months to come, then Mom and I get one on one!”
HAPPY  BIRTH  DAY.

A friend posted a link on Facebook to Jim Morrison: is this ghost picture real? and asked what we thought of it.    I checked and there is no story, just the video, which ends telling you — surprise — the answer is in a new book coming out.    I know my friend was just sharing interesting info and asking what friends thought.  But in matters of the paranormal, I am not one you want to ask if you’re wanting everyone to go along with the herd.  In my job, I get emails all the time with photos and stories, from individuals as well as from publicists. The first thing I look at is what is being sold, in this case a book.  If I had an original pic, I’d check it myself and likely trust no one else’s judgment of it.  I’ve learned even close friends have been known to lie if there’s a dollar in it.  In matters like this, too much doctoring for personal gain goes on so I never care to debate what’s real and what’s not if the point is to stir controversy to sell something.

The new look

Sunday I began raking and sweeping outside and unearthed a patio that had been long forgotten and overgrown with grass and weeds.  I woke up and went outside first thing to water the new plantings, as usual.  Almost each day I prune something and stick it in the ground to grow, or move a plant or shrub from here to there, so there are always new plantings to water in.  As I let the hose run on the patch of night-blooming jasmine, I began raking the leaves and gravel from the walk outside the sliding glass door to the master suite.  That was when I saw and remembered my good pal Doug Cobb had put a patio down for me in 1997.  I was ready to begin using the patio again and so I swept it down and hosed it off to clean it.  The water settled in several places and I knew I had to raise it up another 4+”  if I wanted the concrete blocks to stay dry and the water to drain properly.  I decided that would be my project for the day.  As it turned out, it only took me an amazingly short 3 hours.
