A friend just told me that the Comments feature on this blog was asking him to sign in and give his email address before he could leave a comment.  Until I can get that message off there, you do NOT have to give your info, just post the comment and it will come through.  I think people should be able to comment anonymously, and I also don’t want people to think I am collecting their email addresses for later use.  If they want me to have it, they will give it to me.  If they want to sign up for the Horizons Magazine Newsletter then they will do it.

I was at a friend’s property and walking along a wooded path taking in the glorious greens of nature and came upon a bubbling pond.  I stopped to look at the water’s edge then noticed the fish just below the surface, come to look at their new guest.  So shyly do they come to watch, fins waving back and forth slowly, keeping them moving but staying in the same place.  A brave one pokes his face above the surface to get a closer look and he looks me straight in the eye and then dips slowly back into his own world.  The brave fish swims off to tell his friends that he dared to get a closer look at what was beyond the pond and he found it was benevolent and good; he encouraged everyone to go look for themselves.

Ok, so I hooked up the new tv and I don’t know what I was thinking…maybe it’s the extra 6″ diagonal, but my old tv just has a better picture.  Yes, this new tv is smaller and more compact but, well, if I have friends over to watch the Spiritual Cinema Circle dvds, the screen from the old tv is much easier to see.  So tomorrow back it goes to Circuit City.  Now I know that when the old tv finally goes out, if it ever does, I will replace it with at least the same size screen.

I was 56 last year but I totally don’t feel that age.  I feel about 35.  And I’ve got good genes and an animated personality, so I know I have a youthful appearance.  Of course, all the photos I put online are flattering ones 🙂   But I’m not often around people who talk about aging or wrinkles or losing their memory, so I don’t think about those things much.  Continue reading →

MOMENTUM    If I have  no momentum going, it’s tough to head in a new direction.  To get anywhere, I need momentum.  I need to be there in the moment – consciously – to get me there.  Inspiration propels me in a particular direction, but only I can provide the momentum.  So when I feel stuck or frozen in place, that is my signal to start heading somewhere – anywhere.  And in my desire to do something – anything – I will be led to new choices and new opportunities.

I like using AOL.  I used to say that when people would complain about it, and I never knew what they were talking about.  I found out later that’s because I mostly use AOL for email, and they were talking about the AOL browser.  While I’ll go to this page or that in the course of my daily work, I’ve never really been a websurfer.  I mostly research.  Continue reading →

Wednesday New Year’s Eve December 31, 2008 5:00pm
Today was spent catching up all my bookkeeping and clearing my desk.  At the bottom of the stack of work to be done was the back cover of all the catalogs I’ve been getting lately.  I pull the back cover off as I throw the catalog into the recycle bin, and then I email each company and ask to be taken off their list.  On the back cover of every catalog is a number to call or a website to go to.  At each website somewhere is a place to be removed from the catalog list.

Hey, I like to save trees when I can.  So what did everyone do for New Year’s Eve?

Another beautiful, glorious day in subtropical central Florida.  Temperatures low in the 60’s last night and high today should be near 80.  It dawned clear and sunny, typical Florida day – 320 days of the year anyway.  I spent the morning sorting out my AOL address book and creating in it a new category for my advertisers.  I just learned I could import them all into my newsletter database within minutes.  Too cool!

I did two readings this morning, both with high-powered, ambitious and independent women who are going through a melancholy cycle as the holidays approach. That is true for many of us, and when it’s in the air like this, it can be easy to pick up emotions from other people if you don’t have a good sense of your own stability. Both clients are in the process of undergoing some radical life changes – for the better – but are in the “wait and see how it unfolds” stage right now, where it seems as though nothing is happening. Both of them are losing motivation and fear settling into destructive habits since they are not seeing results just yet. Continue reading →

Well,  I got the first Horizons newsletter emailed out and afterward discovered to my horror that in the “From” line was the nickname of a favorite kitty I had when I was a kid.  My brother is always embedding secret messages in our work, text that no one else gets to see but is written in the code so I see it when I am nosing around in the control panel.  Messages like “get out of the control panel now, little sister”.
