A better gift than a $22,294 guitar

A friend and I planned an outing to Orlando to a favorite guitar store. There are two big stores, there is Sam Ash Music on highway 50, which is where Pho88 a favorite Vietnamese restaurant is right down the street on the way home. We’ve pretty much seen everything Sam Ash has. The better store with a bigger collection selection is The Guitar Center in Orlando on Orange Blossom Trail. So yesterday my friend suggested we go to Sam Ash instead of the Guitar Center. ??? I’d gotten the impression from earlier conversations that the Guitar Center was where we should go next since there was so much we hadn’t seen and played with yet. I asked “Are you sure?” He said whichever you want, let’s flip a coin. Whatever I want as far as a guitar store? As I flipped the coin, I realized he was suggesting Sam Ash specifically so that I could have my favorite most favorite tom yum soup of all time for lunch on the way home! How sweet was that? I thanked him but I suggested the Guitar Center because I wasn’t attached to what I had for lunch (that day!) and Guitar Center was a much bigger, cooler place to shop and be a spectator. I like watching him from a distance since I miss most of his gigs. He can pick up anything and play it like a pro. He’ll look up and there will be someone standing there just watching him as he plays one after another. I like to hear all the techy conversations he gets into with the other musicians. It’s a side of him I only get to experience when we’re in the store, and The Guitar Center is a fun place to be a spectator. What a sweet considerate thought for him to minimize his entertainment experience so he could maximize my dining experience. Now that’s a real friend.

 

 

 

A Justice Scalia dream

Sleep restful by pinoAnother political dream last night. In a courtroom with what seems like hundreds of files laid out on a table. All of them have Judge Scalia’s signature on them and all the cases are being re heard and re voted on. A banner over the dias where it usually says like In God We Trust, says Common Core Math. There is argument in the court itself but celebration on the courthouse lawn and it looks like a block party going on. I do not know political process and I certainly don’t know Common Core math. But I figure whatever happens, it’s always God’s will and if we’re in the midst of God’s will, how can we not rejoice?

Yet another Bernie Sanders dream

Sleep restful by pinoI had the dream again last night, Bernie Sanders was president. He was talking on a stage and I was in the press box and taking photos with a Polaroid camera. I dreamt that I woke up and still had the photographs in my hand and then when I really woke up I couldn’t find them

Keep an eye out for the dollars

dollars stackHere’s a fun way to exercise your creative visualization. Found money is one way the Universe likes to surprise us when we’re in the flow. Look at the bills in the image. See them against the white background.
1. Now see them on the floor in your closet.
2. Now see them in the pocket of a coat.
3. Now see them under the socks in your dresser.
4. Now see them in that secret side pocket in your wallet, or in the glove compartment.
5. See them on the floor of your garage.
6. See them on the side of the roadway on your morning walk.
7. See them on the floor at the grocery and on the ground at the gas station.

Keep an eye out for them. Give it a few days. Report back where it showed up. You can also do this with a lost object. Imagine seeing it in a few different settings, then begin searching then staying on lookout for it.

Feedback on my Facebook One Card Tarot Readings

I haven’t had time to formally schedule everyone who wants an appointment, so I’ve been having fun with Facebook friends doing some rapid fire one card tarot readings. I ask them to give me a number between 1 and 9 and think of a situation in their life right now. I shuffle the cards and choose their number card and give a one card tarot interpretation.  There is a magic in my choosing of the card. The Universe always knows who needs to hear what, although I may not know that.  I can get so much from one card if I look deeply into it. I don’t do these just for you, I do them for me also. I know that whoever I find myself in the midst of is someone I am in vibrational resonance with. That means that on some level we are working through the same issues. That means whatever message there is for YOU is likely for ME also (and everyone who reads these words). I asked them to give feedback if they found their reading relevant. I got excellent feedback, some fine testimonials. I share some of it with you below. 

If you’d like a quick one card reading, I’ll do it via email or Facebook for a donation of $10, see info at http://horizonsmagazine.com/sessions-with-andrea-2/ and Paypal to horizonsmagazine@gmail.com. You’ll receive a 400-500 word detailed interpretation covering the areas of work, love, finances, health and spirituality.

Don’t want Windows 10? Here’s how to stop it from automatically downloading

Win10-noWhen Windows 10 kept trying to automatically install on my Windows 8 computer, I bought a new computer specifically to have one with Windows 10.  I’m, glad I did because it would not let me run my versions of Adobe InDesign (my mag layout program), AccountEdge (my billing program) nor my astrology or anagram programs.  Years ago I didn’t think of that when I bought a new computer, and it cost me $1,000+ to upgrade my programs to run with the new OS.  Now, I learn “Microsoft is now aggressively pushing Windows 10 upgrades” and starting this week, Microsoft is recategorizing Windows 10 as a “recommended update” in its Windows Update system. That means the Windows 10 upgrade process will download and start automatically on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 unless you do something to stop it.

HOW TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING:
