There are a lot of new projects going on since a friend is helping out.  He organized and rearranged the kitchen and cabinets, pantry and laundry area.  Immediate upgrade! He spent hours fixing the garage door that had stopped working, and another many hours fixing the front window that I’d managed to yank some part out of its housing.  He turned the back porch into a man cave and fixed all the bent aluminum from when the oak tree came down on the porch roof during Hurricane Jeanne in 2004.  He replaced the door handle so it now works and locks. He’s certainly upgraded my life, and not just by being Mr. Fix It, although that’s an unexpected plus. Continue reading →

I’m suddenly sharing space after 15 years of relative monkdom and functional solitude.  It’s been easier than I thought it’d be, although it has thrown my working/sleeping schedule waaay off.  And accelerated my candy consumption for the first month. This has been most helpful since it points out to me patterns of behavior I was unaware I had.  Such as: I know I need quiet time to write.  What I did not know was that I keep a running total in my head of how much quiet and rest I am getting in order to stay energetically recouped.  My keeping track keeps me uptight about it.  I also notice I do things like announcing I don’t want to dialogue while I’m giving thought time to something.  Then if I allow myself to be distracted, I begin the clock (the countdown to sleep) all over again.  Meaning that all the quiet and rest time I’ve intermittedly had is now erased and I have to start over.  Nice mind trick, huh, when I’m trying to wind down and relax?  I do it all the time.  The result is I feel I don’t get much solitude time.  However, I’ve learned I simply need to change my perception that I need anything to be other than it is in order to accomodate me.  Train myself to find the rest and quiet within the chaos that is the world.  Also change my perception of how much sleep I need and how much rest I’m actually getting.

It’s baaaaack!

I’m glad to see the spidey sense is back and operational after the xanax I’d taken for anxiety in February had dumbed down the intuition to almost non existent.  Last night, I intuited a particular person would make a first time visit this morning and they did.  Last week, I intuited a friend would have an early morning visitor and I called to let him know just as she was knocking on his door.  Life is sure easier this way.

Knowledge is the ultimate freedom

A friend and I have been working together and, as part of the work, we’ve been keeping track of the synchronicities  and manifestations we notice.  The more we notice them, the more they happen.  The more they happen, the more we know we are “in the flow.”  In the flow of the good that is coming our way, in the flow of everything we’re been dreaming about and hoping for all these years, yet haven’t attracted up until now because we’ve had a little too much resistance going on.  In the work I do, we uncover the layers of resistant thought that the mind is used to having.  Resistant thought is the only thing that ever keeps you from having what you want, from having a richer and fuller life.  It’s all related.

“We just fended off an alien invasion!” I wrote on Facebook Saturday evening.  “I thought there were 50-100 of them but My friend says it was more like 27,000. Whew, that was close.”  Upon close inspection, he said they were not termites, they were carpenter ants and they were along the baseboard where I spilled coffee last week. I washed the wall and floor where it was spilled, but apparently I didn’t get it all. They were ganged up right below the spot it spilled.  I Googled online to learn about them.  “Homeowners may be concerned if they see carpenter ants inside. But, seeing carpenter ants inside the home does not necessarily mean the house is actually infested. It could mean the house is simply within foraging distance of a colony.”  Good news… I called my pest control dude anyway.  He called back and said the carpenter ants are just swarming now, and they should be gone by Wednesday. If not, he’ll come out Thursday if I need him. And here I thought they all left because we wrote them a note last night: “Dear Ants, I know we share this space.  We would appreciate if you stayed outside and we have the inside.  Thank you.  We forgive you.  Please forgive us.”  We signed it. They left.  I learned this technique years ago and wrote about it at Communicating with the critters you share space with.    Continue reading →

A friend asked me if I’d seen Long Island Medium yet and I had not.  He said he has a problem, that no psychics are able to read him.  I told him that few can read me but that’s because my experience is many “readers” are giving a canned speech which they give to 80% of everyone and it’s so general and vague that 80% of the people can think it applies to them.   And when they’re unseasoned, they don’t know that it’s obvious to someone when they are doing that.  There would be so many more good psychic readers if they just believed in their ability to develop their skills, and keep them honed.  The aura changes when they fall out of guidance and into their practiced “advice.” It changes when they get a psychic flash which they recognize as a thought popping into their head, a thought they feel compelled to speak aloud. If they’re smart, they meditate to learn to distinguish their random thoughts from the thoughts of guidance. If they don’t begin to train to distinguish the voice of guidance, they may think they have to voice every “thought” aloud. Continue reading →

Abraham-Hicks says, “The fastest way to get somewhere other than where you are is to make peace with where you are. What are the positive aspects about where you are right now? Stop making excuses.  Stop telling the old story  Stop giving any conversation to anything not in the vortex. Just get in there.  No more excuses, no more conversation about what you see happening that you don’t want.  Tell the story that brings you the greater relief,  Get hooked on alignment with 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.”

Don’t tell anyone else the story of what all has been going wrong, even if it’s a good, juicy story.  Telling the story would just make you vibe in a place you don’t want to vibe at and it would keep you from moving on to other good stuff.  Then don’t beat yourself up for it.  We all want to tell the juicy story; we all want to tell our side.  We don’t think we will be held back too long by just telling the story one more time.  But we can nip it in the bud if we want.  Stop telling the old story and start telling the story of everything there is to appreciate in the life you have right now.

Last week I got to practice what I preach: make a choice of action as if the money didn’t matter.  I woke up wanting to work in the east garden even though I was at deadline with layout on the April Horizons Magazine.  I opened email and  a fave advertiser decided to skip advertising for the summer and renew in the fall.  Hers was a big dollar renewal as she pays in advance to get the uber best price.  I’d had another fave suspend advertising the month before, as well.  But I didn’t let it bother me.  Initially my thoughts were to either (1) make a bunch of calls and try to sell the pages or (2) go work out in the garden.  If the right choice is to always do what feels best, what you would do if the money did not matter, then my choice would be to work in the garden.  I knew that if I worked in the garden, my mind and thoughts would go to that happy place, and that is when the magic happens.  When my mind is in a happy place.

Despite inflation and the economy, you can be guided and inspired to ever increasing resources so that rising prices needn’t freak you out.  All you have to do is know that it’s possible and look for evidence of it.  All you have to do is stop listening to what the news says is the jobless rate or the homeless rate or their theories of why anything is happening.  All you have to do is know that we attract what we expect and believe, and we know what we believe by what we have appearing in front of us on a daily basis.  If we begin to believe that something out there greater than us knows what they’re doing and wants us to have what we want for ourselves, then we begin to see evidence of it every day.  If  we’re on the phone or Facebook every day with friends talking about how everyone’s out of work and can’t pay their bills, we have to recognize that’s not true for everyone.  If everyone around YOU is unemployed and has no hope for the future, and YOU hear about it every day, remember that YOU are only there because right now YOU are vibrating in harmony with them.  It could be that you discuss it with them every day.  It could be you listen to news reports about it.  it could be you read Facebook posts about it.   It’s not easy to hold a hopeful thought if everyone around you is saying it’s hopeless and getting worse.  But if you are to pull yourself out of this situation, you must begin to spend less time in discussion about what’s wrong.   YOU are only in that place because YOU are vibrating right there due to your choice of focus.  If there was only one thought you ever changed in your life, a helpful one would be, “My life is getting better.  Good things are on the way.  Miracles happen all the time.”  Then look for evidence of it, everywhere.  A belief is just a thought you keep on thinking.  Believe that it’s in YOU to change what you attract.  Then spend a little more time away from technology and watch the magic unfold.

………….. Exhausted by 11:00am

I spoke with Domino today.  The last few months she’s felt very low energy and on the verge of maybe catching a cold;  tired, sniffly.  She wants to go to bed after being up 2-3 hours, yet sleep does not refresh her.  She’s not overweight but eats a typical bread and meat diet and drinks sodas, coffee and tea.  She says feels better when she eats better, but her life is too busy to eat right all the time.  I suggested one remedy if you’re not going to change your action is to change your perception of it.  If you know eating bread and chips slow your body down, when you feel tired 2 hours into your day, remind yourself that this is how it feels on this type of fuel.  Remind yourself that sleeping doesn’t make it better, so you may as well keep on working even if you feel sluggish.  That way, at the end of the day you haven’t lain around all day waiting to feel better before you got anything done.
