The other day on Facebook I posted a link to the original 1973 Jesus Christ Superstar, sung in English and with subtitles in Spanish. I made my Facebook post after reading at This is Alabama, We Speak English. Tim James is betting his election that Alabama voters prefer what he calls “common sense” to “political correctness.” The Republican gubernatorial candidate is running a provocative ad arguing that Alabama’s driver’s license exam should be given only in English. “This is Alabama; we speak English,” James says. “If you want to live here, learn it.” Continue reading

Time for a trip to the beach to bless the ocean
I just learned of the oil spilling from the ruptured well off the coast of the state of Louisiana. We’re all blessing the water, right? It might be a good idea to gather friends and go to the beach if one is nearby, to bless the water and bless the shoreline. Or just send some prayers out from home, from where you are right now. See the spill being cleared and the ocean fresh and clean again. An exercise: Breathe in the impurities and breathe them out as an offering up to God. Breathe in God’s love, and breathe it out onto the waters.
Bayou Woman suggests praying for strong northerly winds blowing and dispersing the slick to deeper waters. This is when our daily practice pays off, adding to a strong group mind with focused intent. This is real life 3-D alchemy. I stopped by the beach this morning and brought back a small jar of the ocean to place on my altar to be prayed over. You can do the same. Who’s up for a drumming on the beach to see how much oil we can dissipate via sound waves?

Sometimes my life is much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside
Be careful what you wish for
Yesterday I went to the Healthy Living Expo on campus at Florida Tech in Melbourne, FL. It was a chance to see a lot of people I know all in one place, and that’s always fun for me. So much of my work entails me being alone to do it, so I welcome chances to get out and mingle, especially when it’s local. Don’t get me wrong, I love my work, but so much of it is by telephone, one on one. Astrologically, I have Sun, Mercury and Venus in Aries in my 12th house, so working behind the scenes comes naturally to me, and I dig it. But I’ve now gone a few years without doing much travelling, which I used to do almost monthly for conferences and weekend events, and I am beginning to miss the in-person interaction of a group.

Do you know what dust is? Clean the way for tomorrow.
Do you know what dust is? It’s particles of the past YOU. These particles are the remainder of who you were before you became who you are right now. You don’t vibe in that old place anymore, so those particles dropped away. You don’t need those reminders. You wouldn’t leave all your old boyfriends lying all around your house, would you? If you want change to happen – good change – then vacuum often, dust often, unclutter often. Make way for the new YOU. Create the space for it… then stand back and watch it unfold before your eyes.

Trusting who’s been over the rainbow
The birds begin to sing in the morning before I can see the light over the treeline. Since they can fly higher than me and they’ve been where I haven’t and seen what I didn’t, I trust them when they say the Sun is rising. Birds never fib to other birds about whether they’ve been over the rainbow or not. Only we humans say we’ve been there and done that when we just wish we had. The funny part is us giving other people advice about the rainbow we’ve never been on the other side of.

Domino attracts another false positive for PCP
Four months ago, I wrote at DUI, DWLS, Probation, PCP and False Positives that a long time friend was on probation for driving under the influence, and when she went for her court appointed random drug test, her urine tested positive for PCP, which she does not do. Long story short, it was a false positive test, which apparently happens often for some reason at the Prevent of Brevard lab. So today she called me and was upset that yesterday she went for another drug test and once again tested positive for PCP. At Prevent of Brevard. I asked why she went to that lab again after she knew they do not have accurate results and after the big fiasco last time. She said because it’s close to her home and to go to the other lab is a five hour bus ride for her, since she can’t drive now. WTF?!? I asked her, “So to save a 5 hour bus trip, you went to a lab that is known for giving false positives?” That’s exactly like looking for your keys under the street light because there’s no light in the alley where you dropped them.

Having My Attachments Pointed Out
I love using AOL on Mozilla Firefox. It watches out for me. I often email myself from home at night, and open it at the office in the morning. When I went to send an email reading to a client the other day, the topic was her back and forth relationship with an unsuitable lover, the screen prompted me, “Are you sure you want to send this message without an attachment? (Message contains the word ‘attached’)” Wouldn’t it be nice if ALL our attachments were pointed out to us as easily? And if we were asked every day if we were sure we wanted to continue with it or not? For some, that might be a big SELECT ALL, and DELETE. For me, I’d like to be less attached to having so much private, alone time. And less attached to bread. What attachments are you ready to lose?
