I just discovered I can hook two of Benny’s collars together and they fit me. I was going to put the collar on him today but thought it only fair I wear it a few hours first. Me wearing his collar on my ankle for 3 hours with the bell on it last month made me decide to take the bell off. If I don’t like it, I can’t expect him to.

I just replaced all the handles and hinges on my kitchen cabinet doors and drawers. I love doing projects like this. My home is 32 years old and I still love it. Doing little updates like this make a big difference in how I feel about my living space. The entire project cost me less than $100. I sound like my mother. And my father.  Every time I walk in there now I noticed the bright shiny nickel hardware and it makes me smile. the job went kinda slow because I was super cleaning everything while I was at it. The kitchen now has all new handles and hinges on the cabinet doors and everything is squeaky clean inside and out. It feels fresh and new. I’ll donate the old hinges and door handles, screws and bolts to Habitat for Humanity. It’s a complete set for 15 doors and 4 drawers.

A woman sat with us at sundown, she’d walked over from her condo down the street to take a pic of the beach. She talked about her job, which she loved but was minimum wage. “I need a rich husband,” she joked. I laughed, “Yes, because that always fixes everything.” “No it doesn’t,” she said, she’d just had an argument with her husband, who was drinking and calling her vulgar names in front of their teens. As we sat, he texted in asking where she was and who she was f*king. She’d love to leave but he pays the bills. Everything has a price.

My friend Frank Lorie just designed a new ring for me. I’ve known Frank since the mid 70’s in Miami, FL. We had fun going back and forth on Facebook about the design of the ring. I got fun input from Facebook friends at each stage of the way. Frank would post videos for me, showing the choice of opals he has, and then show me the choice of bezels and shank.  It was fun doing it this way so I can see exactly what he’s doing as he does it, and the video let the light play on the opals from all sides.  He narrates the video by describing the stones and where they are from.   Continue reading →

I admit I’m selfish. Sometimes being selfish is the best thing you can do for your loved ones. You know, put YOUR air mask on first so you can stay alive to help them. “Your greatest value to others is when you are joyful. Your greatest value to others is when you are connected. Your greatest value to others is to be radiantly healthy. Your greatest value to others is to have and do all the things that are important to you. And as you are living that and vibrating that– then you are a catalyst that is inspiring others to an awareness of that.” Abraham-Hicks

Lots of clients pay me through Paypal.  I’ve learned that whatever source of income I focus on, that’s where dollars come from during the time I’m focused on it. Here are the thoughts I specifically think during my Paypal visualization. It only takes 3 minutes. If I can do it, you can do it.
1.  In these visualization sessions, I begin by seeing myself open my email and I see the Paypal notices with the subject line “Notification of Donation Received.”
2.  I visualize a long line of emails received in one day. I take a moment to appreciate how many there are and who they are from.   Continue reading →

Lightworkers, you can help us hold the vision

In this election season and in particular today where mass consciousness emotions are high, I am calling out to Lightworkers and Vision Keepers to tap into that emotion and channel it in a positive direction. I’m asking you to hold the vision with me of awakened, compassionate candidates in the race. If you feel someone dangerous is on the rise to political power, pray for his awakening and know that when many minds are gathered together with vision in prayer, miracles happen. It’s been said that when just 1% of the population meditates upon peace and lovingkindness, the effect spreads to the other 99% – and it works even if they don’t believe it. Here’s how we can help.

I needed to put this where I could find it when I’m out. No hidden meanings. Middle finger is a nine and a half. Ring finger eight and a half. Index finger is a 10. The ring Frankie made for me in April 2011 is a 9.
