A friend asks “How does one connect? Everyone seems to know what to do, but no one can explain to me how to do it. I can’t figure out the “how” part.”

My answer is that in the beginning, if you cannot visualize it happening, you will have to practice imagining what it would feel like.  Pretend what it would feel like. Pretend is a powerful word.  Pre, from before and tend from intend. When you are pretending or imagining something, you are intending ahead of time. And what you imagine and pretend, you attract. If you want to attract conscious connection with your Source, with your Higher Self, you may have to first practice imaging it happen.    Continue reading →

When you send pink light, you activate a vibration of connection within yourself which causes the object of your attention to have the same vibration activated within them. Abraham

I’m calling out to lightworkers and vision keepers. We all know someone we can shine a light on and hold the thought of a happy and peaceful outcome. Like gravity, sending pink light works whether you believe it does or not. I’m asking you to send pink light here to Melbourne, FL. There will be a gathering at the airport afternoon and evening that could benefit from an extra ooommph of our love. Only send out what you want you or your loved ones to receive back. Breathe in the pink images and let your heartspace fill with their love. Have the thought to breathe this pink light, this pink love outward to loved ones, friends, family and us here in Melbourne, FL. We can make change happen. We are changing the world, we are re-creating reality, yes, us, one thought at a time.

How many of your problems are because you didn’t take the time to put your own oxygen mask on first?

Self care is not selfish.

You cannot serve from an empty vessel.

Sooner or later you’re going to scratch the surface and reveal what you find around you isn’t the fit you thought it was.

I just came back from a long walk around the hood. I listened to music for a little while but realize that without hearing nature sounds I feel less connected to where I am. If I don’t feel connected, it’s no fun. I’m all about keeping it fun.

If I’d been listening to music as I passed the bamboo, I wouldn’t have heard its gentle creaking, I wouldn’t have heard it say, “come play, come watch me grow.”

A beautiful morning walk, a clear day — nice, breezy, a balmy 76 degrees, humidity is 80%. It’s sprinkling off and on so it’s not muggy. There are no misquitoes. It feels good to get back out and walk again. Usually I do it before dawn but at 8:00am I needed sunglasses and a visor. I tend to forego walks the entire summer due to the heat.  Not good, I’m up 10 lbs. The treadmill is a blah substitute and I’m lax about riding the inside bike. I was stoked when I woke up today wanting to take a trek. I was glad I took my phone with me since a manly man with tools needed to be called into the gate at my rental. I was stoked that I had enough breath to carry on a phone convo without huffing and puffing.  Thank you daily yoga the last 40 years. Since I wore my sunglasses, I also wore my eyeglasses, which I usually only wear when driving or at large venues when I want to recognize faces and read signs. I discovered that with glasses on, I tend to focus more on moving things outside my immediate area, like the street traffic 2 blocks ahead, rather than taking a closer look at the inner workings of what’s right in front of me.    Continue reading →

When someone shows up unannounced and your experience tells you it’s best to keep the door closed, you keep the door closed… no matter how many times they cry wolf.  I wrote yesterday in This is a drama free zone that I love Facebook’s On This Day feature that shows me what I’d posted 1, 2, 5, 7 years before on this day.  I’d written “I don’t know how people stay in moody up and down relationships with boomerang partners. It’s such a waste of everyone’s time and energy and is mega disrespectful. Thankfully I did my time years ago. I count myself lucky getting away with less than two years babysitting a drama queen.”   I wrote that after seeing posts I’d made reminding me of the maze I’d allowed a former friend to put me thru years ago. I spent less than 3 minutes in thought time on it but thoughts are powerful things. I finished some work and at noon laid down to sleep.  A knock on the door roused me and I opened the door expecting USPS. It was the former friend I’d just been reminded of.    Continue reading →

Oh, how I love Facebook’s On This Day feature that shows me what I’d posted 1, 2, 5, 7 years before on this day.  My interactions tend to be easy flowing and drama free. I don’t know how people stay in moody up and down relationships with boomerang partners. It’s such a waste of everyone’s time and energy and is mega disrespectful. Thankfully I did my time years ago. I count myself lucky getting away with less than two years babysitting a drama queen. When people learn to entertain themselves on their own, they’ll enter into more real relationships since they’re no longer looking for someone outside themselves to entertain them. When you connect to the Source within, you never look outside your own Self again, except for the fun of sharing life with beloved friends.
UPDATE:  And to make sure I make it to day 1461, I did not answer the door just now. You cannot just show up unannounced, especially after last time. If there’s anything to say, you can text or email me. Trouble can wander around outside all it wants but I don’t have to invite it in.

I practice grommet setting

I learned a lot about grommet insertion this weekend. Despite practice, I couldn’t do them correctly. I read online and followed the instructions. I bought and tried several grommet setting tools and read reviews of who’d had problems with which ones. I spent an afternoon trying to find a benchtop hand press, which I thought was the answer.  I learned new terminology and Googled eyelet vs. grommet, driver, anvil, grommet inserter, hand press, bench press  I learned about the sizes and that I needed size 000 also known as 5/32″ aka 3.9mm, and size 00 aka 3/16″ aka 4.7mm. I watched YouTube videos and did what they did. I thought. Then I watched more closely. I had the right tools but I’d not been holding the driver, the pounder piece, correctly, and I was being too heavy handed with the hammer.  I went to the workbench and tried again. I tried with several size grommets using my different tools. Success!! Why grommets? Airholes in the hats — a must in Florida — and also for those lace up corsets Benny likes to wear.
