I had a dream once, once of those dreams that sticks with you forever. In the dream, I am wandering around an open pasture kind of landscape, not really seeing anything, but not particularly seeking anything either. In the dream, along comes my father, who was a carpenter, and he’s wearing the khakis he always wore. He’s also carrying his carpenter’s box, you know the kind, long and slim to fit saws, hammers, nails, rulers and maybe a couple of lengths of wood.  In the dream I am asking him for money. In real life at that time, my father was in Baptist Hospital in Miami, FL in June 1987 in a coma after a suicide attempt, and he would die a week later on Father’s Day. In real life, I never asked my dad for money as he had none and I earned good money as a criminal defense paralegal. I was, however, at an intense stage in my life of asking, “what next?” Continue reading →

You want to come into my life, the door is open.  You want to get out of my life, the door is open. Just one request.  Don’t stand in the doorway, you’re blocking traffic. Until recently, I was irked at a friend I felt had wasted months of my time, knowing I had projects I was waiting to do. It was my choice to upset my schedule to accommodate theirs, to put my projects on hold while I helped them achieve theirs. I attracted a situation which took months to be free of.  I’m not irked now, but an honest 3 minutes would have prevented fallout. I can’t fault anyone for doing what they feel they must do to survive. I can’t wish for them anything other than what I’d wish for myself. I endeavor in my life to not stand in the way of what anyone wants to do with their life, whether their life includes me or not. Life is too short to be indecisive. Never let me stand in your doorway and block traffic. And please don’t stand in mine.

Gary Leggett and Andrea

For a month I’ve been having hypnosis sessions to get me to sleep and keep me asleep, and wanted to turn you on to Gary Leggett, who made it happen. I have ongoing sessions with him for other “re-programming” as well, but this is the link to the mp3, and here’s what Gary says “We all know the aggravation of trying to go to sleep because you need to and you can’t do it. Your mind starts to wonder, you start thinking about the day or what you need to do. Before you know it, an hour has marched by and you’re staring at the ceiling. If you’re like millions of people you’ll reach for a handy sleep aid. Sure it will put you to sleep but does it hang you over the next day? Even though you sleep, are you rested the next day? I wasn’t most of the time.  Over time as I got  better at self hypnosis, I found techniques that would work for me “sometimes” but not all the time, unless I could sit with a professional hypnotist for a session. One day I was reading about something the author discovered that was real good for insomnia. I thought this very interesting since the night before I had experienced very little sleep. I tried the technique with a few improvements of my own and the next thing I knew I woke up hours later. So I tried it again and  it worked again. Now all I can say is I use it all the time.  I put all this info in a nice mp3 audio download called Sleep_NOW. Like my other audio products it’s easy to download and use.”  Gary Leggett  I suggest also scheduling an appointment with Gary to experience his work in person. 

TAROT QUESTION: I’ve been learning tarot with your workbook, what if I pull a card with no questions asked?
ANSWER: When you don’t ask a question before you pull a card, then you have to figure out what you have been asking the Universe for recently. Only then do you know what is being answered.
QUESTION: How does one figure out what they are asking?
ANSWER: That’s the yoga, the sadhana, we each have to figure out our own question. It’s like all we have to do in life to be successful is find what we love to do and do it. The yoga is in taking the time and making the effort to discover what we love to do. I keep an ongoing list of my questions to the Universe. It’s a good practice.

An ex has refused to return several personal items to me and to others who have asked.  He believes that I have imbued each item with some magical power that he doesn’t have access to unless he has those items in his possession.  Material items are only as magical as you believe they are.  Believe instead in YOURSELF as much as in some lucky talisman.  The power is in YOU.  You are the vortex

When you put only kindness in motion, only kindness returns. If not, that’s just past momentum burning itself up. Reapply kindness as often as necessary for complete coverage. May all suffering cease.
