I’ve had an awesome morning of evidentials, coincidence and synchronicity.  In a reading last week, a friend was concerned her son wouldn’t get good grades in a particular class.  I knew she was going to find the perfect tutor right away and that he’d be younger than her son.  She called today and told me she’d found him, he was younger, plus he has the same teacher – score!  She’d called in the middle of me speaking with spiritual brother Doug Cobb.  He and his wife Trish were next door neighbors and best friends of mine for years, they moved west of Gainesville in 2004.  They periodically come into town and it turns out they’ll be here again at the exact time I need Doug to look at a project with me – another score! I was in the flow.  So it was no surprise when I called galpal Joy to ask for a mutual friend’s number and if she knew her availability to help with another project.  She happened to be sitting in Jann’s living room and handed her the phone.  Jann was available and had all the knowledge I hoped she’d have! I’ve been in the flow all day and it feels good.  I know it feels good because I had little reminders of being out of the flow and gripey recently.  Good feels better!  In the flow feels better!

When you’re outside the Vortex, anything and everything can cause an adverse reaction. You’re scrambling around trying to figure out, “It might be this food or that food. I wonder if it’s sugar, or carbs? I’ll bet it’s the wheat, yes, it’s the gluten!” And we say, it’s not any of that. It’s because you’re not in the Vortex. You’ve got other out-of-the-vortex things going on that have your attention and that is keeping you from being in the vortex.  Period. Period. Period.  ~ Abraham-Hicks, Happily Ever After dvd, 2011

Domino has been having anxiety issues due to recent life changes.  Can you dig it?  She’s at the age where elders are beginning to pass, and some sooner than expected.  Like me, she prefers natural methods over drugs but knows when she has an acute situation that needs addressing, she can call in the big guns if needed.  Her physician prescribed a mild Rx and told her she would benefit from grief counseling, from digging into the source of the anxiety.  Like me, she is a fan of theEsther Abraham-Hicks work.  The dilemma then becomes: which is really more beneficial?  Dig deeply into something that seems to have an obvious answer and cause (multiple unexpected deaths in a few months’ time) or simply turn her focus to something more pleasant as soon as possible, thus giving little or no attention to the other?   Continue reading →

This morning I connected with a fellow devotee and we were discussing initial ideas of cooperative communal living in a monastic setting as our elders head into the golden years, i.e separate housing on communal land. There are several communities not in the spotlight that endeavor to have a working model. The shared values of functional silence, meditation and spiritual practice, even if in different traditions, would be the connecting factor, as well as a monastic, if not necessarily ascetic, lifestyle. It’s not for everyone.  If you have any thoughts on the matter, please share them.

A Facebook friend posted a criticism of something said on the news, and referencing lizard-men in the government  My take is: I give no attention to what the media says are current events. Current events for me are the bamboo needs watering and the floors needs to be cleaned. I need to finish billing and take my elderly aunt to the doctor. The only lizards I give attention to are in my garden. None of what “they” do affects me, or ever has.  God permits it all to exist for a designed purpose. When new sh*t comes up, I’m handed the tools to handle it. You know which current events are assigned to you because they are right in front of you, and not on your tv screen.

That’s my basic belief about business, clients, anything: “For every one I lose, a dozen more will come.”  I never lament the loss of anything.  Something else always takes its place.  Growing up, I have a history of being a survivor of those who died. More recently,  in 2008, I lost Danny, a close pal from childhood.  In 2013, I said goodbye to one I thought would be a lifelong friend.  Two weeks ago my 14 year old Maine coon kitty Izzy passed.  A week ago I lost Wally, my closest childhood friend of 54 years.  That was the loss that took me by surprise and devastated me. With whom would I share history now?  Even in my emotional distress, I knew there would be those who came out of the woodwork to fill in the spaces, even  if I could not imagine right now who that might be.  In 2003, after 37 years apart, my brother Jerry resurfaced, after our father said he’d died.  So it was no surprise when a handful of cousins began finding me on Facebook within a week of losing Wally.  In addition, I reconnected with a fellow devotee and I learned one friend/ author/ client has similar background as I do and we’re forming a friendship.  We’ve spoken for years but never on a personal level; she’s a soul sister for sure. Several gentlemen have expressed interest, however I am seeking only brothers on the Path.  Best of all, Wally’s sister Linda and I have become closer through the shared loss.  It never fails: when the Universe “takes” one person from me, a handful more show up in their place.  I am blessed indeed.

Healing takes place when we forgive and heal everything from our past, leaving no stone unturned, no person passed over. We become healers when we have healed our own past, and made peace with all persons.  Several FB friends wrote and asked how I felt about my ex promoting himself as a healer with his song, singing of stepping stones yet denying his own. I say he is entitled to tell his own story. It is none of my business if he chooses to leave unfinished business and people from his past out of it. He knows the truth. Since we met, he’s never had to stand alone and do for himself. In trying to help, I disabled him, not knowing I was doing so. I have apologized.  That’s someone else’s lesson now. When his soul is ready, he will stand on his own and know who he is and embrace all that ever brought him to that place.  His ego will take it as a dare to man up and he will. In talking it, is when many learn to walk it. Let everyone do so at their own pace. It is not for me to judge. Nor is it for me to judge you judging me.
**IF YOU FIND THIS HARSH, and forget my ex agreed on Day One to all lessons being publicly aired, give him credit for not denying his actions and just endeavoring to do it different the next time.  My grander lesson was that in trying to help, I disabled him, not knowing I was doing so. I don’t write to tell you how special I am, I write to tell you what I find I do wrong in life and what steps I take to correct it so it doesn’t happen again, to me or to anyone else who’s waiting to receive that information.  I’ve moved on, but it is for me to tell the truth of my story, when asked for it.
Never doubt you have the power to change someone’s life

Today we celebrate overcoming being hung up, rolling the stone away and rise anew into the emergence of our Sacred Self.  We forgive ourselves and each other.  When forgiveness takes place, we enter into that holy space to accept healing, love, and joy. Healing takes place when we forgive and heal everything from our past, leaving no stone unturned, no person passed over.  We become healers when we have healed our own past, and made peace with all persons.  That makes us a very powerful force in this world. This Easter I am grateful of this reminder. I liken it to forgiving everyone everything before coming to the altar to pray.  It’s powerful stuff and it’s the stuff true unconditional Love is made of.  Only Love is real.  Everything else is illusion.  Adding to the confusion.

Easter 2012:  ”Out of the ashes is a new beginning. A time to realign, and take your authentic self and walk in harmony with your integrity. Apollo 11, the rocket that landed on the moon in 1969, was only on course 3% of the time. The other 97 % of the time, they were trying to get it on course! Did you know that? So, go easy on yourself and remember that, when you look at yourself in the mirror.” Fred Migliore, FM Odyssey http://www.fmodyssey.com

In response to a post about memories of childhood abuse, a friend wrote on Facebook “I can create hell with my mind. In that way I may open the gates of heaven or the gates of hell.”  It is not always easy to turn off the echoes of the past.  But to stay happy, we must stop re-running thoughts of past tortures.  We must find replacement thoughts so we can intentionally pivot our mind to happier thoughts when the less happy memories surface.  That means go through your thought bank and take note of every happy thing ever, and write them down and keep them at hand.  When the tortured thoughts come up, read your notes and your happy thoughts.  That will move you into a different vibrational resonance, and from there you will attract a different experience. In the meantime, have compassion for whoever cannot so easily achieve that under the circumstances they have unintentionally attracted to themselves, especially if it is you.
