I walked outside and watched the almost full moon rising over the treeline. I could hear two cats facing off behind my neighbor’s house. I’m glad my good boy stays in at night. I noticed the “new” street light at the end of the block and realized there’s always been a light there, they just took the pole down and put a new kind of lamp, less white, more amber, larger range of illumination. It lets me see the entire west end of the block. I could see that end has cars outside. At our end, the cars are in the garage. If I had a car outside I’d probably want a light on it overnight. Ours has always been a safe neighborhood, most are homeowners, the few rentals always attract good tenants. Few kids. I feel safe here any hour. Of course, when I moved up from Miami in 1983, I had burglar bars installed on my windows. Trust in God but tether your camel.

A friend says her life has been miserable the last few years, that hope is a trap and joy is a lie and they only lead to pain. She said she has no reason to believe it will ever be any different. When you are having thoughts like that, and we all have them, you really need to pivot your self talk and cheerlead yourself on to be hopeful. What we expect and believe will invariably happen, so hope for the best and believe it is possible despite evidence to the contrary. Remind yourself on a regular basis via re- programming your self-talk. Someone else’s experience does not have to be yours. Your past experience does not have to be repeated. Remind yourself of this so frequently that it drowns out the voice in your head that says you can’t imagine anything can ever be any different. Then watch your world change right before your eyes.

When you connect with the underlying reality, you begin to sense and see karmic return. You begin to know the reason to only wish for anyone else only what you wish for yourself. We’re either all One or we’re not. Everything returns to you, everything — the blessings you’ve sent out and the prayers you’ve wished upon others. Make sure it’s what you want cascading upon you a thousandfold. We are all one living organism and what affects one ultimately affects all. Be mindful of what you are adding to the mix.

When you karate chop a board in half, you don’t target the board, you target BEYOND the board. When we practice striking BEYOND the board, it trains us to see past the perceived physical limitation. When we train ourselves to see BEYOND our physical death – even five minutes beyond — it demystifies it and shows us it’s nothing to fear. Wait, how do you practice seeing yourself BEYOND the body??  We train ourselves to see beyond the physical body by practicing exercises such as these two:   Continue reading →

SATURDAY IS SATURN’S DAY – a day to direct our attention toward routine chores and personal responsibilities, a good day for furthering our ambitions through perseverance, patience, responsible action, and a sense of purpose. Ask yourself some questions: How are you doing? Are you consciously heading in the direction you want to be going?

Saturday is a good day for rest and relaxation, forming goals, and for giving and receiving recognition. It’s a day to formulate new beginnings, new projects and ideas. What’s next for you?    Continue reading →

A friend and I were talking about healing modalities and I shared with her the About  Andrea link on my blog, which talks about what courses of study and healing modalities I’ve been involved with through the years. Here’s an excerpt. “Transcendental Meditation, yoga, est, the Dale Carnegie course, primal scream therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, rebirthing, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Silva Mind Control, Biomagnetics, Therapeutic Touch, Pranic Healing, Reiki.
I write in Horizons Magazine and in this blog because my life has been a series of continual upgrades since I began my journey of spiritual awakening and personal growth, and I want everyone to have free access to what I know. I want everyone to know that the life they are living now is just a fragment of what it can be, if they want more.  And that you don’t have to shell out hundreds of dollars for workshops and books and crystals and wind chimes and training and certification for ascension and acceleration and internet products in order to reach a higher potential. You are capable of far more than you ever dreamed and there is an internal compass that guides you in every moment by the emotions you are feeling in response to the thoughts you are thinking. You have more choices available right now than you ever thought possible.”

Are you getting a sign that there is something you are more suited for? (No, I’m not trying to sell you anything.) Does your market/ clients/ dollars await you elsewhere? My experience is if it’s what you are supposed to do, it will be easy, it will flow, things will line up, the money will be there, the opportunities will be there, the right people will show up at the right time. Resistance always has meaning. Rejection is protection. It simply means there is something you are more suited for and your market, your clients, your recognition awaits you elsewhere.

The Universe is waiting to delight you. You’ve just got to get into the vibe of allowing it. It won’t matter if one stream of income is slowing down because something else will come along to replace it. The only reason it hasn’t so far is because your belief and expectation are not there yet. If you’re not noticing opportunity, you’re simply focusing more than half the time on observing how things are not going so well. By changing your focus, you talk yourself into a new way of thinking and that is what changes your world. 

If one income stream slows down, be on the lookout for opportunity

Here I have the zapper positioned above the yellow jacket nest but I saw very few yellow jackets. Last night I lowered it down so it’s about 8 inches above the nest. I saw one yellow jacket walking around outside two sundowns ago. This morning I just saw one crawl out of the hole in the ground so I guess that is their nest. I turned the zapper on and went back out to watch and he was just walking along the palmetto fronds about a foot away from it, did not seem interested in the light at all. I I raked away some of the ground debris, carefully and cautiously so as not to disturb any other hidden nests. I enjoy doing yard work when it’s in the fifties and sixties and seventies with low humidity.
