What bounty the last few days. I was surprised by a glorious gift package from a friend with lots of fun and funky treasures. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. Then I no sooner decided to buy storm panels than a friend volunteered to gift me some that he has. My life rocks! Last week I was reminded of a 4 step process using symbols for emotional release and manifestation. As the exercise directs, I kept my “happy” symbol in mind. If you want to try it –> here’s the process. To charge it, or prime it with energy and intention , I glance at my “happy” symbol and think to myself what all it means to me. It means being in an environment of happy friends and family dancing around having fun, having all they wish, being surprised with love and gifts out of the blue. Your happy symbol can be a happy face. Use whatever is easy for you to bring to mind on cue quickly and easily. Then each time during the day I feel happy for any reason, I bring to mind my happy symbol.

It’s just a tropical storm, prepare but don’t freak out
OK FLORIDA, NO FREAKING OUT. It’s just a tropical storm! We’ll get lots of wind and rain but between El Nino and the full moon Saturday, atmospheric conditions are changing. “Erika overnight winds of 50 mph as it passes between Antigua and Guadeloupe. It is a poorly organized system due to strong wind shear. It is forecast to track W/NW as a minimal tropical storm, perhaps weakening even more so near the US. There is still great uncertainty with the track and intensity but the trend has generally shown the center moving parallel to the east coast of Florida. The cone of uncertainty is very broad and still includes Central Florida, so stay tuned for updates ” Here’s –> Andrea’s experiences with hurricanes

Why do you pay me big bucks then not do what I suggest?
A friend just told me that the IRS is going to audit her business. I thought yay celebration time since I told her 3 years ago I felt an audit was coming up so make sure to keep good records and keep all the receipts together. Oh, except she said she never made time to do that. WTF? Why do you pay me the big bucks and then not do the simple things I suggest?
I guess I said the wrong thing to Medium Allison DuBois
Oops, well I guess I said the wrong thing to Author/Medium Allison DuBois. She commented on Facebook about a new show she may be involved in and asked for questions. I asked if she thought her mean and bitchy behavior on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills damaged her integrity with the public. It was an honest question, a question asked on Andy Cohen’s WWHL and aftershows years ago and never answered. Apparently she read my message after her flight back from her meeting. I got unfriended then she commented ‘friends might want to reconsider’ and hashtagged #shesjustjealous. ?? I thought I was just asking a question since she’d asked for them. Two friends told me they’d defended me to Allison on the thread and they also got unfriended. I got 14 new friend requests in the next 3 hours, so I suppose that’s where they were from. It was an honest question, but I understand. I guess she’s used to haters. When I look back at the scene, it’s easy to see that wasn’t her best day. One thing I know is that if there is a goal (or tv show) I’m going after, I’d want to do a quick search within my psyche to see where I may forgive something that’s been left unresolved, no matter how many years back I have to go. We don’t come to the altar to ask for a gift until we’ve forgiven our brother. Floodgates will open like never before.
How do you hold on to a feeling of alignment?
Q: How do you hold on to a feeling of alignment?
A: It’s an art that you practice, the art of being aware of how you feel, the art of being willing to do something about it if it does feel off and it’s about catching it in the early stages. If you’ve come into alignment and then something erodes it a little bit, you can catch that erosion in the early, subtle stages if you are aware of it. That is why you practice being aware of how you feel.
Q: What if you didn’t catch it in the early stages? What if you have momentum going on it already and it’s really bumming you out?

I’m happy to help you but you’ve got to help yourself
I am happy to help people figure their way out. But they have to be working on it too, taking action. Someone asked me for help. I said to report a situation then ignore it, let it go. Instead of reporting it, the story kept being told over and over to different people. Instead of reporting it, a rant was posted on Facebook changing the story I originally got, now alleging a crime, except ‘the evidence got deleted.’ Do not call me unless you’re serious about wanting resolution. Don’t ask friends to do the work for you.
WWYD? Would you tell a complete stranger what her ‘friends’ said?
WWYD? I was seated next to a table of 3. I knew they were church ladies as they wore big name badges with their conservative church’s name. As they waited for their 4th, they began discussing, rather meanly, a family problem they heard she’s going through. They could ask her outright “but we all know what a liar she is.” It was just getting juicy when the liar arrived. Hugs and kisses and bless your hearts all around. Two went to the restroom together, and the 3rd woman turns to the 4th and tells her what the other two had to say about her. I almost laughed my soup out of my nose, since she’d been the instigator. Twenty minutes later I’m about to leave the restroom when “the liar” walked in. I paused for a sign. She came right to the sink and stood next to me. We locked eyes in the mirror. “Your hair is lovely,” she said to me. Was this a test to see if I could keep silent while having such powerful and perhaps life-changing information for her? Or was it spirit giving me ample chance to reveal something that was best known? Continue reading
How much attention do you give it when someone begins hassling you? How do you nip something in the bud?
The calls this week have been an interesting mix. One friend has been receiving 5-10 hang up calls a day from an unknown caller. She has an idea it’s her ex since she’s recently begun seeing someone new, but she can’t be sure and doesn’t want to change her number. I told her to stop picking up and see if it dies down. Another has received obscene texts from a man who’s been told to not contact her. He has a rep for making inappropriate comments to women, but he’s also had several strokes this year and his brain doesn’t work as it did before. Nonetheless, my friend was outraged. I know this man so I called him to get the skinny. He acted confused and denied it. Then he texted her again. My friend was livid and asked what I suggested she do. Continue reading
What I do to get out of a rut
Even when you know it’s all a cycle, when you’re in a slump it’s not easy to remember that. It can be work to get yourself out of a rut. You’ve gone down that road so often that it’s worn down in the shape of your shoes. But familiar and comfortable doesn’t mean it’s healthy or fun. It just means you’re so used to doing it that it requires very little thought. It’s no longer exciting or even interesting. You feel bored with it and, frankly, tired of everything else in your life as well. That’s it, you feel tired. Everything seems like such an effort. The worst thing about being in a rut is that it’s no fun. You’re simply in that head space where you have no focus, no enthusiasm for a goal that compels you forward. It happens to me, too.

When I’m all happy, how can someone burst my happy bubble?
I was asked, “When I’m all happy and content, how can someone come along and burst my happy bubble?” Answer: Because mindfulness is a moment by moment choice. They will be just a passing blip on the screen of your life, unless you detain them and flood them with power-giving attention. If someone irks you, that just means you’ve let your focus wander. Get your self talk back under control and your aggravation will soon drop. You’ll notice your pain is caused, not when a troublesome thought surfaces, but by your conscious choice to follow the troublesome thought. By your conscious choice to re-activate your pain by staying on the topic both in your mind and with your friends. Stop being ticked at anyone you think can steal your happiness. They don’t have that much power over you until you give them power by your repeated thoughts and words. They were just a passing blip on the screen of your life, until you detained them by giving them attention.
