It Can be Exhausting Everyone Pretending To Be Happy At The Holidays – Moving Up The Emotional Scale

musical-notes-butterfliesA week before Christmas and we’re well into the stressful end of the year and just waiting for it all to be over with.  I just finished hearing from 4 friends, one after another, none of whom know each other, and it was the same conversation from each.  These are spiritual people who are just overloaded with the commercial marketing part of the holiday season.  They say how exhausted everyone they know is from pretending this is such a happy time of year.  They say they don’t know anyone who’s really happy now, that it’s just a season to be filled with obligatory gifts, unwanted visits and flare-ups of family tension.

Writing your book? Vanity presses, self publishing, publishing

I emailed last week with Cassandra Yorgey upon the topic of friends who self publish, to understand the implications of using LuLu, a vanity press, versus a traditional publishing model. It’s important to be clear on what it is and what the differences are because vanity presses are sometimes deceitful.  I told her that I have friends all the time who are working on books and ask me about book publishers, which I know zilch about.  But some seem to think Lulu is the way to go.  Not wanting to be an author, I don’t care enough about it to want to research it myself. I asked her is there somewhere I could refer them to?  Is there a good site or blog post that gives helpful basic info to the ones who ask me to be referred somewhere for info? Continue reading

Lottery Winner Abraham Shakespeare Missing in Bizarre Story

While I’m busy finishing up the January Horizons Magazine, I posted on Facebook yesterday: will all my psychic friends take a moment to read this story, tune in to this gentleman and give any specific info that might be helpful. If you email  me at horizonsmagazine@gmail.com about it, I can keep track of when more than one person gets the same info. That’s not possible to do when info is being publicly posted in the comments.

Lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare – Woman Says Missing Man Publicity Upended Life By Merissa Green.    LAKELAND | The woman who says she helped missing Florida Lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare disappear now says she desperately wants him to come back.    “I felt like I was helping a man that got taken advantage of,” Dorice “DeeDee” Moore said, tears streaming down her face. “In the same respect, I ended up with all his mess. That was not worth all the money in the world.”   The Polk County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday posted a $5,000 reward for anyone who could help locate Shakespeare. Continue reading

Compassion, Constructive Criticism and the Sunburned Grinch in WalMart

angry devilI live in Central Florida, an hour east of Disney and 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.  It’s 75 degrees here this week; our typical holiday weather.  Yesterday I was in WalMart having a fun conversation, as I often do, in the checkout line with an older gentleman, in his 70’s-80’s. A 30-ish woman walks up in line behind him, clearly sunburned, and he jokes “getting a sunburn in wintertime, that will make the folks up north jealous.”  She replied “keep your comments to yourself assh*le.” He looked crushed and humiliated. I put my arm around him and said, “if we had that sunburn, we’d be grouchy too.” and I let her go ahead of me. He gave me a wink. That wink made me feel so happy. Continue reading

Abraham-Hicks on Thriving in the New World Economy; Fine Tuning Manifestation

Fine Tuning Manifestation.  In this video, Abraham helps us understand how a very subtle difference in our understanding of the Vortex and our relationship to it can make all the difference in the world, of the abundance that flows to us. It’s so easy to let the circumstances that surround us set the tone of our vibration and therefore determine our point of attraction, but it does not have to be that way. We can control what we attract. This is Abraham’s best illustration of how to discover what’s holding us up; identify the “missing piece” of the puzzle, and stop unconsciously disallowing the things we desire. It feels so good to understand this stuff!  http://www.lawofattractioninteraction.com/video/Thriving.html Continue reading

A New Crop Of Baby Hawks Are Back In The ‘Hood

It’s that time of year again and the new hawks are here.  The one I see is rather small and whitish, which means he is a fledgling.  Hawks gestation is 28 days and they fledge at 45 days.  Hawk medicine has to do with being patient and observing.   I spent some time at the firepit yesterday, rearranging the stones and bricks.  I always have dry kindling and logs, although everything around me was dampened by the light drizzly rain of the last few days.  Water droplets were still dripping off the oak leaves onto me, but the small fire burned cleanly, barely any smoke, cooking my sweet potato to perfection.  Continue reading

The Saga Continues with Sharon Janis: Let’s Get Over It Already

I thought this topic was over days ago. It began when I wrote a generic blog post What do you do when friends misunderstand you and don’t want to play anymore? My daily blog is about what lessons I learn as I travel this road of Life, but I don’t disclose names and places. After reading my post, the friend, Sharon Kumuda Janis, got miffed at me and took it public.  It turns out that although I’d known her for 10 years, she’d only let me see one facet of her during all that time.  Hmmmph.  I thought, ok, lesson learned and moved on. She then deleted me as well as several dozen mutual Facebook friends, but a week later she’s still on the topic doing emails behind the scenes. I don’t know who all they went out to, so I’m posting this here just to tell you – I don’t know anymore than you do about why she’s doing this. Don’t hold it against her.  We’ve all done public sh*t we later regretted. Continue reading

A Beautiful Full Moon Tuesday

I’m really enjoying the cooler weather.  I like it when I can open all the windows up and turn the fans off and let the natural cool breeze run right through the house.  It just changes the energy of everything. I have a cushioned rocker on the back porch, and it’s facing the spot where the moon rises.  There’s a small foot rug in front of the chair, and the rug and the chair get moved around almost daily.  That’s because the moon rises just a little more to the north each night now as the sun sets way to the south in the west this time of year.   I like watching the moon make it way across the sky each night.  I feel it helps me stay connected to who I am.  This self perpetuating cycle of physical cells that are me.

Simple Self Talk Scripts To Help You Attract a Better Tomorrow


self talk cat lion mirrorA friend asked me to help them script them some new self-talk and I was looking through my files and came across the one below that fits their situation.  If it sounds familiar, it’s because everyone has the same universal dilemmas. If you think it does not apply to you because you do not have a business, think again. This is long since my email readings are detailed. Or you can read the more simple
  A self talk script I read over when I need replacement thoughts.

QUESTION :  I’m seeking investors for my business because I’m literally on the immediate brink of financial disaster, although I also have faith in the universe and my own destiny.  I have been saved before at the last moment by either a job or a line of credit or something during these last crazy decades.

Did Someone Ask For Drama? When Friends On The Path Go Off The Deep End

I wrote earlier this week in Clash of the Egos: Battleground for the Spiritual Seeker about a little drama with a friend who got miffed at something I said.  In a simple misunderstanding, she’d taken something the wrong way and did a public blowup on my Facebook wall.  She posted some private Instant Message conversations between us to outline her evidence, but after some comments came in, she quickly made the link inaccessible.  It was clear by our IMs that she had simply misunderstood and became abusive for no reason.  By now she’d stirred up a dozen Facebook friends with her story and they were contacting me wanting to know how to access the link, so I put it up.  I talked to several of them, then did the blog post Clash of the Egos to let everyone know everything was ok.  People misunderstand and get ticked all the time.  It’s no big deal.  It’s just life.  We get over it and we get on with it.
