I wrote in Yesterday’s adventures in drainfield discovery that I’d had a toilet clog and was confused since I’d just had my  system rejuvenated two years before.  I learned today that when they did the rejuvenation, they did it on the grey water tank, which is where the water goes for the washing machine, showers and bathroom sinks. I called them in 2011 when the guest bath tub filled with the water being expelled from the washing machine.   After doing my online research today, I am not convinced I needed to have the grey tank rejuvenated and filter added, but I did need the tank pumped.  I could be wrong, but it was my gut reaction. Now there’s a filter on it that will require regular maintence. What clogs the grey water filter is fabric softener, hair and washing machine lint.  A typical family washing machine produces enough lint each year to carpet an entire living room floor.  When John came out today, he quickly saw that the problem was with the black water tank (kitchen sink, toilets,) and not the grey water system he had worked on before.  We scheduled a pump out for tomorrow.  I took pics so I know where all my tanks are in the yard.  My buddy trimmed one giant eleangus that was too close to the tank.  I’m excited it’s a quick and easy fix!  I also learned that when it comes time to put in a new drainfield, the digging seems very doable.

Two years ago, A Better Septic rejuvenated my septic system. Yesterday I had a toilet clog unexpectedly, so I went out and dug to check the cleanout for the black water relief.  That’s often where you find there’s a clog or a root growing into the system.  I saw standing water.  I unscrewed the cap and looked in the one white inspection port filter that raises above the back lawn, and saw a few inches of standing water.  I called A Better Septic and asked for info on cleaning the filter.  I learned it’s not as simple as the installer made it sound.  You have to dig up the drainfield and lift up the concrete top to access the filter.   They could not give me a price on doing that since it is a job they do only with other services.  I felt I was not told ahead of time the maintenance would be costly and not easily done by me.  I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding and when John arrives today at 5:00pm, he will evaluate the situation and make a recommendation everyone will be happy with.  Later, a friend came by and within an hour we’d found there was indeed a paper clog, so the situation may have resolved itself.  My question now is: what and where exactly ARE these filters and how and when do I change/clean them and what would have happened to the paper clog had it gone through? Would it have ended up clogging the filter?  I’m sure John  will know the answers for me.  He comes highly recommended.

This is what so many are talking about feeling, so it is no wonder this is what they continue to experience. Evolution!  ”Are you experiencing any of these ascension symptoms? Do you feel something has fundamentally changed in your life? Do you feel the ‘SHIFT’ ?   Here are some Ascension Symptoms:    Continue reading →

Begin telling the new story today, the way you want it to be.  That means STOP telling the old story now. When friends ask for an update, you tell them you’re excited and hopeful for the future, that many opportunities will be finding you and you’ll explore them all. You tell them what new projects you’re doing and you get involved in many of them. You tell them you are excited to be exposed to new people and new ideas.  It may even be that your next job or mate will be discovered then, too.  Your new story is that it’s all exciting and you look forward to having the time of your life. And the old story?  Bah!  That’s old news.  You’d so much more rather talk about what’s coming next!  Then you re-read this each day until you realize that it’s true.  You’ll see it the moment you believe it.

You are the author and writer of your own story.  Turn the page, start anew and make sure it’s a story worth telling. Jennifer Gayle

Someone asked me what would be Abraham-Hicks‘ stance on mandatory reporting laws. I’d say if (child/ elder/ vulnerable persons abuse) has been brought to your attention and you have evidence and it’s the law, does it feel better to report it or ignore it? Evidence being the key word here.  I posted this on Facebook and asked if my Abe fan mandatory reporters are allowed to weigh in, please do. I know of no such abuse.  Here were some responses, many having no connection to the Abraham-Hicks material.   Continue reading →

I grew up with a father and two brothers diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder, at that time called Manic Depression.  They would swing from full on manic to full on depression.  I’d never know who we’d wake up to, nor what would set whom off.  There would be the fun times, especially with new people, just one big happy family. Everyone getting along at the same time, everyone being playful with other.  Happy times for sure. Then without warning it would change. My father would out of nowhere become another person. Everything would anger him. He’d be physically aggressive, destroying things, and turn hateful and verbally abusive.  We were warned there would be consequences if we told anyone. We lived in fear, always walking on eggshells and always happy when a new friend would come on the scene so we could see the happy daddy return, at least for awhile. With new people on the scene, he’d go into performance mode, the life of the party, the ladies’ man. That was the fun daddy.  Behind the scenes it could be another story.  He could be lying immobile and unresponsive on the couch, for days.  He could be making crazy calls to everyone, threatening suicide.  Then just as soon as it began, it could be over.  He’d be back to his charming and fun and engaging self and that personality of his was so big we always forgave him. And we always got burned again. And we always forgave again. During a lucid moment, my father clearly saw what he’d put everyone through. His answer, as my younger brother’s for the same reason, was suicide. Therapy could have saved their lives. It could have given them the understanding they needed about their compulsions and tools to overcome them. It taught me to be thankful when I have a happy someone in front of me and to honor the unhappy someones by allowing them to be where they are yet stand available if they ask for help.

Stop making excuses.  Stop telling the old story.  Stop giving conversation to anything  you see happening that you don’t want.  Tell the story that brings you the greater relief.  Get hooked on feeling in alignment with the Universal source energy.  Complaining is out of the vortex, whether your complaint is valid or not. Think the better feeling thought. That’s the way into the vortex. That’s where everything you want is.  You can accomplish alignment every time you decide to.  “No matter what I’m doing, I have the ability to reach for alignment factors within it.  I can choose to focus myself into alignment, now, no matter what.”

Today you can make it easy or you can make it hard. How cool to be in charge of which thoughts we choose to entertain!  We may not be able to control which thoughts pop into our mind, but we CAN control which thoughts we allow to stay. As soon as I notice I am thinking an aggravating thought, I have the choice to stop my self-talk midstream and pivot to a better feeling thought to make the emotion of aggravation go away.  For times like these, I have a thought prepared, I have a song that makes me smile and fills my heart.  Have something that you can pivot to on a moment’s notice.  Every day is a new beginning and today, you can make it easy or you can make it hard.

Whatever is happening RIGHT NOW is always a vibrational match to your thoughts: the good, the bad, the ugly, the awesome

Last night Domino asked: “What about when people break contracts and don’t live up to their part of the bargain?”
Andrea:  Good question.  Do you blame them for changed intentions, kick yourself for attracting it and spend time dissecting every thought for what you did wrong?  If I use what someone else does or doesn’t do as my excuse to introduce resistance into my vibration, it will only serve to stop my flow.  The thing I do is remember that I attracted it from them. The remedy is always clean up my own vibration, let it go, get clear on what I really want based on the new information, and get on with attracting something different next time.
