Yesterday I did some of the billing I had to do and then I ran out to the post office and the bank and decided to get my oil changed on the way in.  Jiffy Lube on Babcock Street is so fast, I never have to wait long, so I didn’t bring in anything to read.  I’d emptied the car out beforehand anyway, since they always vacuum the inside, and I didn’t want them to have to wade through stacks of Horizons, maps, umbrellas, files.  I chuckled when I saw that the car ahead of mine was an older model, packed to the top of the headrests with a tumble of clothes and toys and knicknacks.  I smiled and wondered what kind of character would drive that car and what the story behind all the contents was.  I was soon to find out.

From my friend Karen Williams:  The purpose of life is to enjoy it. The purpose of life is to have as much fun as you can possibly have while doing whatever you do. And then life will continually open up new avenues for more enjoyment.

But hold the phone! Isn’t life about being a good person, making a contribution, accomplishing goals, finding a spiritual connection?

Sure, why not? And if we make enjoyment a top priority, those things must come.

Is this year flying by or what?? Yesterday I drove to Ormond Beach, Ocala and Cassadaga and it’s a trip I love to make.  Usually I am returning phone calls as I drive, hands free of course.  I have this mega stereo headset that really blocks road noise and I put it on when I know there will be an hour or more of calls.  The Bluetooth is fine, but at 70 mph on I-95 in my little Toyota Prius, I have to keep a finger on it to keep the earpiece deep in the ear channel.  I like to use two hands when I drive, and pay attention – 10 and 2, baby.  Hands at 10 and 2!  So with the mega headset, I can be completely hands free.  There is about an hour each way along highways 19 and 40 that does not have AT&T cell phone service, so I get to enjoy that nice ride in the silence, just watching the cowfields and horse fields and open savannah.  I saw some baby goats that were so cute and right near the fence, I could have petted them.

A friend asked me yesterday what exactly do I experience during psychic reading sessions with clients?  What I experience internally, subjectively, is this: If they are asking me about a future outcome, I kind of project myself forward into their emotional (astral) body (into their nonphysical energy field) and take a look to see what I’m doing and how I’m feeling.  Am I happy that I just got the corner office with the new promotion or that Bob with the red corvette asked me to the prom?  Or am I relieved about a financial situation because Uncle Noah has just given me a fat check for my birthday for the first time in his life?  What am I thinking?  What am I feeling in response to what I am thinking? Then I just come back into the here and now and tell them what I saw. Continue reading →

I had a fairly mindless day yesterday; the kind I don’t have very often.  I woke up and did my morning meditation and went for a quick bike ride around the neighborhood before dawn while it was cool.  I love the predawn hours, when everything is quiet and still.  There’s no anger in the air.  Then I went back to bed for a couple of hours.  I got up and made my way into the office to check the To Do List and make sure I wasn’t spacing out on any important tasks.  As usual, I keep quite a list going, but everything could wait.  I quickly pre-sorted my snail mail, checked voice mail and email, opened an Office Depot delivery box and put the items into the supply closet, then walked out of the office for the rest of the day.
