At the computer 24/7? Emergency Remedy Mode For Stress Relief

Whew, I just finished laying out the January Horizons Magazine and it’s going to press at 8:00am.  I usually have a week off in between each monthly issue, but in November and December, due to the holidays, the press schedule changes.  That means the magazine is due to press a week earlier, which means no time off in between issues.  This past week I’ve been glued to the keyboard almost every waking hour.  That’s usually fine, I really dig my work – but my body likes to move around more than it got to do this week!  The usual dozen+ calls a day doubled as last minute ads came in, as well as friends wishing happy holidays.  I knew I’d finish and go to press on time because, well, I had to and I’ve never NOT finished on time.  But I felt the stress and got to make some interesting observations.

Falling and Flying, Surrendering to Soar

Surrender

Surrender

This is a favorite watercolor I did years ago after having a falling dream that turned into a flying dream.  In the dream, it felt pretty scary to be falling, and I thought “well, if I’m going down, I may as well relax into it and let it take me away.”

I flipped over in the dream, into the classic super hero flying pose, and began to soar here and there.  Anywhere I looked, I automatically began flying toward.

And isn’t that what happens in life, too?  Just like the parachutist, we have to keep an eye on where we want to land because whatever we’re looking at is where we’ll end up.

Good to know, huh?

I’m Busy Getting the January Horizons to Press on Time

I’m glued to the computer finishing the January Horizons Magazine.  Because of the holidays in November and December, I have to do two issues back to back to accomodate the press schedule.  And I sure can’t complain about all the ads I’m getting, nor the phone calls that are coming in at the last minute with them.  But I’m sure not used to working this hard.  I know, whine, whine, whine…

I thought I’d share a little card I watercolored for a buddy some holiday past.  These are fun to do, I should do more of these.  They make me happy to draw and paint and look at over and again.  I’ll be back to daily babbling in a day or two, promise 🙂

Lottery Winner Abraham Shakespeare Missing in Bizarre Story

While I’m busy finishing up the January Horizons Magazine, I posted on Facebook yesterday: will all my psychic friends take a moment to read this story, tune in to this gentleman and give any specific info that might be helpful. If you email  me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com about it, I can keep track of when more than one person gets the same info. That’s not possible to do when info is being publicly posted in the comments.

Lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare – Woman Says Missing Man Publicity Upended Life By Merissa Green.    LAKELAND | The woman who says she helped missing Florida Lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare disappear now says she desperately wants him to come back.    “I felt like I was helping a man that got taken advantage of,” Dorice “DeeDee” Moore said, tears streaming down her face. “In the same respect, I ended up with all his mess. That was not worth all the money in the world.”   The Polk County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday posted a $5,000 reward for anyone who could help locate Shakespeare. Continue reading

Compassion, Constructive Criticism and the Sunburned Grinch in WalMart

angry devilI live in Central Florida, an hour east of Disney and 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.  It’s 75 degrees here this week; our typical holiday weather.  Yesterday I was in WalMart having a fun conversation, as I often do, in the checkout line with an older gentleman, in his 70’s-80’s. A 30-ish woman walks up in line behind him, clearly sunburned, and he jokes “getting a sunburn in wintertime, that will make the folks up north jealous.”  She replied “keep your comments to yourself assh*le.” He looked crushed and humiliated. I put my arm around him and said, “if we had that sunburn, we’d be grouchy too.” and I let her go ahead of me. He gave me a wink. That wink made me feel so happy. Continue reading

Abraham-Hicks on Thriving in the New World Economy; Fine Tuning Manifestation

Fine Tuning Manifestation.  In this video, Abraham helps us understand how a very subtle difference in our understanding of the Vortex and our relationship to it can make all the difference in the world, of the abundance that flows to us. It’s so easy to let the circumstances that surround us set the tone of our vibration and therefore determine our point of attraction, but it does not have to be that way. We can control what we attract. This is Abraham’s best illustration of how to discover what’s holding us up; identify the “missing piece” of the puzzle, and stop unconsciously disallowing the things we desire. It feels so good to understand this stuff!  http://www.lawofattractioninteraction.com/video/Thriving.html Continue reading

A New Crop Of Baby Hawks Are Back In The ‘Hood

It’s that time of year again and the new hawks are here.  The one I see is rather small and whitish, which means he is a fledgling.  Hawks gestation is 28 days and they fledge at 45 days.  Hawk medicine has to do with being patient and observing.   I spent some time at the firepit yesterday, rearranging the stones and bricks.  I always have dry kindling and logs, although everything around me was dampened by the light drizzly rain of the last few days.  Water droplets were still dripping off the oak leaves onto me, but the small fire burned cleanly, barely any smoke, cooking my sweet potato to perfection.  Continue reading

The Saga Continues with Sharon Janis: Let’s Get Over It Already

I thought this topic was over days ago. It began when I wrote a generic blog post What do you do when friends misunderstand you and don’t want to play anymore? My daily blog is about what lessons I learn as I travel this road of Life, but I don’t disclose names and places. After reading my post, the friend, Sharon Kumuda Janis, got miffed at me and took it public.  It turns out that although I’d known her for 10 years, she’d only let me see one facet of her during all that time.  Hmmmph.  I thought, ok, lesson learned and moved on. She then deleted me as well as several dozen mutual Facebook friends, but a week later she’s still on the topic doing emails behind the scenes. I don’t know who all they went out to, so I’m posting this here just to tell you – I don’t know anymore than you do about why she’s doing this. Don’t hold it against her.  We’ve all done public sh*t we later regretted. Continue reading
