Thursday April 9, 2009.  It’s been a busy week in AndreaLand.  I’ve been finishing up some personal projects which have kept me – surprise – at the computer almost around the clock.  Why would I spend my week off at the computer, where I spend 12+ hours a day working?  How is that different from the magazine work? It’s just a shift in perspective.  In my mind I am in a completely different place, so it barely matters where my body is, if my mind is happy.

Yesterday was my “official” day to water according to the new city rules, so I had the sprinklers and hoses going.  Moving them from bush to tree, it can take all day to get everything watered.  It’s also a welcome break to hear the timer go off, signalling I need to get up from my desk and go outside every hour.  The loquat and mulberry trees are now full of fruit, and full of birds and squirrels clamboring for them.  I took a walk around at sundown yesterday, as I usually do, checking everything out.  There was so much critter activity that I took my dinner outside to the wrought iron table and chair I sit at when I dine al fresco, just to watch the show.

I received this from a Unity minister friend. Now I know why I have a magazine and a blog.  This is what I live for, to pass on news like this and bring minds together for purposes like this.  There are two links for you at the end.  Andrea

Dear Spiritual Awakening Student –    In early February, we, along with other area ministers, attended a reception and presentation at Innisbrook Resort and Country Club at which the featured speaker was Deepak Chopra.  At that event, at Deepak’s request, 1,000 people, including us, stood and took the pledge to support Deepak in something called – The Global Coherence Initiative, in concert with a group of modern day New Thought leaders working under the name of The Evolutionary Leaders Counsel.

Basically, we pledged that night to focus on peace, prevailing in all of the conflicted areas of the world – and to support that peaceful outcome by creating a consistent climate of peace in our own hearts and minds. We found it very easy, especially boosted by the synergistic energy of a group of like-minded people, to make that pledge.  Since then, we have found (no surprise) that maintaining peace in our minds and hearts at all times has its challenges – but – we’ve been working on it.

NOW WE HAVE SOME EXCITING NEW NEWS –
Below is the message we just received from the Evolutionary Leaders Counsel: Continue reading →

Monday, April 6, 2009. The last few days my brother and I have been working on getting some projects finished together, and I now have two new mp3 files online at Andrea’s Self Hypnosis series.  The new files are Stop Smoking and OOBE – You Are Not The Body, which is an astral flight.   It was interesting “proofing” the Out of Body Experience OOBE file and having to listen to it several times through.  I have some interesting experiences I will share with you later.

I was reminded of the incident with my chair that happened in October 2006 The Haunted Chair, Journeys Out Of The Body.   In keeping with my decision to not participate in a recession, these mp3 files are just $10 each.

Happy Monday.  Full moon on Thursday.  Good Friday is my birthday and it’s a “12” year – yay, a lucky 3 for me this year.

Silver Necklace Pod flower

Sunday April 5, 2009. The trees are full of mulberries and loquats and the critters in AndreaLand are having a feast. About a dozen little wrens descended upon the mulberry late yesterday afternoon and it was already full of cardinals and bluejays and squirrels. The tree came alive!  A couple of days before I was sitting on my back porch, just rocking and relaxing.  I can always tell where the cardinals are because the male chirps so loudly.  I could hear him and followed his voice to the silver necklace pod bush, where I saw him doing a song and dance for my cat Izzy down on the ground, yards away.  I thought, now that’s not smart… then I saw the mama cardinal flying to and fro in another part of the yard with straw in her mouth, and I realized it was her mate doing the dance to distract Izzy.

I’ve had fun this week reconnecting with childhood friends on Facebook. It makes me think back to what was the last time I saw them each. I left home when I was 18.  I didn’t wait until after I graduated.  I didn’t even wait until the end of the day.  Rather I skipped school that morning and Kris Krehmeyer skipped also.  As soon as my mom left for work, Kris and I piled my clothes into his little chartreuse Karmann Ghia and we dropped them off at Terry N’s house and went back to school.  Terry’s mom had agreed to let me live with them while I finished up high school, and she’d gotten us jobs with her at Sears, in the catalog phone sales center. While I was living at home in east Hialeah, my routine was to come right home from school and call my mom.  She’d give me instructions about things like bring the laundry in off the line and fold it, and what to take out for dinner.  She worked for Western Union from 11:00am until 9:00pm.  Mom would prepare dinner each morning, and I’d heat it up at night for my dad and brother. But the night of my 18th birthday, it would be different.  Continue reading →

Thursday, April 2, 2009. Yesterday was spent in the recording studio, working on some new mp3 files.  My brother Jerry is a big help to me there.  I do the scripting and recording, and he adds the background music and subliminals and does all the techie stuff.  Like taking out the sssssssssssssssss when I have the microphone at the wrong angle for the entire recording, where it amplifies my breath too much on words like catch, rest, voice, simply, reach.   I typically give everything a careful listen through before I send it on to him, but last week I didn’t do that.  I’d recorded a file and thought I’d edit it myself before sending to him.  I got all excited in the editing process, cutting and pasting, and happily sent the finished product on to Brothermine.  Without giving it a final listen through.  So he does his background music magic and sends the finished file back.  It’s when I listened to it from start to finish then that I heard that I’d done the induction twice and cut the countdown out of it both times.  Drat!

I got the below from my friend and astrologer Leslie Marlar.  Leslie is a real astrologer, with certifications, licenses, degrees.  I always find her to be right on.  The below tells me that we’re on the upswing on this economic cycle.  We’re already seeing housing and employment gains.  This tells me that we’re closer than we think to getting back into balance with the economy.

The Uranus/Saturn opposition is still in effect until Nov. ’09. It brings unexpected troubles and is one of the main correspondents of the recession. Difficulties should lessen after November. Today I heard that the recession is 17 months old. The great depression lasted 42 months. This one could end up being about 24 months. Continue reading →

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009.  Happy April Fool’s Day. I’ve had the luxury of a few days off and wow, that really feels good, even if I am just doing things around the homestead here.  I spent a couple of days picking up deadfall from the oaks and pines, taking it out to the street and cutting it into the size and shape that Waste Management says I have to.  I mowed the backyard for the first time since November; it took about 10 minutes.  I’ve got enough new growth on the eleagnus hedge that I can give it a topping with my hedge trimmer before next Thursday’s full moon.  I spent a lot of time debating which mulberry branches to cut.  The longer branches I’d like to cut are full of berries, so I will wait until the birds and squirrels have picked them clean before pruning.  One thing I need to do is move my rosemary back into the sun.  What used to be my flourishing herb garden has been under deep shade for a year, and my rosemary is leggy and not very happy.
