Hi All,
I did an OEM install of the OS because of the crappy way it had been acting. Now it's decided to died on me...lol; what else should I expect when it is so old? Still it's a good day, because now that it's out of the way, it makes room for a new one,and that will be implemented shortly. Until then, I will be online, rather infrequently...which also means I will delay my internet business. All things happen when they're supposed to. I refuse to give up, even by this setback...even tho it seems to be a major one. I will have things the way I want, regardless. I'm not going elaborate much on this, so I will just say peace to all.

damn! what a day...
Hi Ya'll,
Ok...
I spent the day re-installing my OS. Now I have to re-install the rest of my apps. How wonderful...lol
I don't mind it, except when I would rather being doing something else. I find it a challenge. Not to even mention that I burned DVDs before that...didn't want to lose all my data...since I was doing a full OEM install.
But, hey...I did it, and it runs faster now. I was so tired of all the crap my machine was giving me. So, I did what needed to be done. Git-R-Done...and I did!
Night all,

why haven't I been writing? and a few words on trust
Hey ya'll,
Actually I have, just not on here lately. I've also been busy getting my PC organized. Man, what a mess that is! I'd rather clean house than clean y PC...and I don't even like cleaning house, but then I don't like the house to be dirty either. I don't mind it looking lived in, but dirty...uhhh!!! Damn, I'd make a great bachelor, wouldn't I? Oh, in my case that's bachelorette. lol
I've been reading and leaning a lot. I love to learn stuff that I can use. My bro told me last night...actually around 2:00 or so this morning, that Bruce Lee once asked a student, in a movie, "What happens if you pour water into a full glass?" It runs over, so if your mind is full, you have to empty it in order to learn anything new. This is very true. You can't put anything into something that is already full. It must first be emptied.
Now a few words about trust. Men want their wives/girlfriends/significant other to trust them. It is harder for women to trust, not just because of past bad relationships. They are vulnerable. They don't have the physical strength of men. If you want your woman to trust you, then consistently keep your word. Let your actions be louder than words, if you give someone a promise, keep it. Women really do want to trust you, but you have to be consistent about it. This is the number one reason I keep saying that if you lie to me, I can't trust you. Oh well...some guys listen, some don't. If you don't listen, it's your loss, not mine.
Ok, enough about trust. I think that's enough for now. I'm still alive and well in beautiful Phoenix.
Peace to all,

5:43 a.m....hmmm
Good Morning,
The following in quotation marks is my horoscope for today. How cool is that? Even tho the weather is already hot, at least from where I'm sitting it is, I think it's cool.
"Expressing your emotions with confidence can provoke an unexpected response from a coworker or partner. Although you thrive on making others feel at ease, don't worry so much today about trying to be nice. Even if your concern for others makes you happy, you must now push past the infatuation stage and beyond your dreams. Get real and make a move that truly counts."
I underlined the word 'nice', because some people insist on calling me 'nice'. If you think I"m 'nice', then it's obvious that you don't know me. I am intriguing, and an enigma, as well as a host of other things...but nice isn't one of them. Nice and honesty don't usually go hand in hand. I truly do care about other people's feelings, but that doesn't stop me from speaking my mind.
I guess it's decision time...according to my horoscope, which is often right on target as to what's going on in my life, in part. With that said, maybe I'm not ready to make a decision. Maybe I'd rather do like many others and procrastinate.
But then, since I'm not like others, I'll retain my individuality, thank you. Look we all want stuff, we want it here and we want ti now. But the problem is in where you focus, or place your intent. Let me ask you a question...Do you appreciate the here and now? Do you stop to truly enjoy that cup of coffee? Or can/bottle of soda? So you stop to smell the roses? So you stop to enjoy the now? This minute of time? If not, how will you ever enjoy what you want, if you can't take the time to enjoy what you have? This is so self-defeating. Maybe people are actually afraid of succeeding? It would mean more to live up to, wouldn't? Be happy. Live in the moment. I'm going to use another example. Let's say you go out on a date, and afterwards you both decide that there's definitely chemistry between you. You are both free to make love, will you choose to enjoy this passion now? Maybe you'd rather wait until later? Why? Passion is for the present. Passion is for anything, anytime, anywhere. Not the sex passion, but the passion for the thing you desire. It's the same kind of thing. Haven't you ever been passionate about something? A new career? An idea? A thought? Movie? Book? Then go with the flow, live in the moment, enjoy the here and now. You'll be glad you did. And if the opportunity comes along to help someone, then do it...what goes around, comes around. Like begets like, so if you are constantly thinking (focusing) on your lack, that is what you bring to you, your lack. Focus on what you have, not on what you don't have. Jesus said to "first seek ye the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Psalms 82:6 says "I have said, Ye are gods; all of you children of the most High." John 10:32 "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in you law,I said, YE ARE GODS?" I am not a Christian, but I have been. If we are children of the most High...the Creator, then we are also gods, just as it is written. We are gods in training. We are learning to create our reality the way we want. It doesn't exist outside ourselves. I know, I know...things happen that we don't like, and if we're gods, then why does it? After all, we didn't ask for it. But there's the rub, you see. We did, we create everything in our world, our universe...nothing exists outside ourselves. We are physical manifestations of the thoughts of ourselves...if we are gods in the training, then it behooves us to be careful of what we think, or wish for. I think that is enough for now.

busy day today, updating webpages...
Hi All,
I had a very interesting conversation yes. When man went from being prey to predator, that is when he became destructive. Some animals are the same way. Therefore I was wrong, in my assessment that mankind is the only one who kills for no reason. So maybe it's just where we are on the food chain that determines whether we are this destructive or not. Regardless, there is no excuse for it.
Maybe I can get my web pages updated today, but I sure wouldn't bet on it. Maybe I need to listen to ACDC's Thunderstruck, it will occupy one part of my brain so the other part can actually get something done. That is how I did it the last time when I had trouble getting started. I like doing the web pages, but have trouble getting it together in my head, or maybe it's getting started at all. Damn! Aren't we morose today? lol
I started this on the 18th or so, but am finishing it now, the 21st. I've been busy organizing my pc...sometimes I think the pc is similar to my mind. But that's ok, I know it will be easier to keep track of things once I have it organized. Haven't slept much either.
On top of that, I had a dream in which I was told about things happening, and given a choice: follow the old ways, or the new ways. I think the old ways are probably dealing with the old path, but I'm not sure about the new ways. On the other hand, it could be different ways of looking at things. If things are going to be that much different if we have a pole shift, then there will be a different way of looking at things. So I'm opting for that being the meaning of new way. Regardless, I'm very adaptable, so I can do that.
I've been thinking some deep thoughts lately, for the last few days. I'm also hyper, but thank the gods, not overly hyper. That's the reason I'm not sleeping, I don't need it. But then, I need a nap thru the day, and can't sleep at night. Before anyone makes a suggestion that if I stay up during the day, I can sleep at night...it doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way for my daughters either. Even if I stay up, I still can't sleep when it's time to go to bed. Just depends on what I'm thinking about, and doing in that time period. However, my dreams aren't related to what I'm doing, but rather what I'm thinking about. Thinking about to perceive patterns, in order to perceive the truth of the situation. I've been wondering if there will be a pole shift, and if so, when...ok, so far in my dream it was winter. Fine, there was a lot of snow, up to my knees. The animals were starving. Could be that this is after the shift, I think it would probably take about 6 months for ready food to run out. But then this depends on a number of variables, some of which are unknown. There was very little food to be had, these animals were domestic dogs which had turned wild.
It really doesn't matter, now does it? Because either you will survive, or you will die and move on. If you survive, and are here, you will be rebuilding, and learning many new things. There won't be any of the amenities we have today. This isn't something many are used to. We, as a society, have grown soft. We rely too much on others, and on the conveniences of today. This isn't necessarily bad, just that if you aren't used to it, it will seem to be unbearable. It could be a little like the old west, so to speak.
Progress may be good, and is in some ways, but at what price? When we forget our heritage, and the brotherhood of man, as well as our connection to everything in this universe...I rather think the price is too high. This is my personal opinion.
The price is too high when we:
can't live in harmony with nature
can't live in harmony with mankind
can't be tolerant of other people's belief systems
can't see the fault in ourselves, but blame others for our misfortunes
can't accept people for the color of their skin
can't trust our neighbors
when we waste our natural resources
when we see conspiracy all around us...although there is some conspiracy going on
when we destroy the trees for the sake of a buck...even if there's big bucks in it
Whatever the reason, when we are no longer compassionate, the price is too high.
I know there are things I've left off the list, and I know there are people who will disagree. I don't really care. As I said, it's merely my opinion.
Peace for those who seek her,

nice day today
Hi Ya'll,
Yeah, I decided to do a little drawl there. I talk in a somewhat southern accent, so I guess it doesn't hurt to write like it just a little. So why did I decide to stay here in Phoenix? Instead of running away? Isn't that what it would've amounted to? I don't run away from anything. Period. I have better things to do, and better ways of handling it than that. Besides is that not what I was bitching about my daughters for doing? They didn't want to practice magick anymore, because things are bad for them. To me, that is the time to dig in, hunker down, and let the games begin. In other words, take action. If I left, I'd be doing the same thing. I decided to do things my way.
I'm glad I decided to stay, so here I am. I think magick can be used to correct our mistakes. I use it to make my life better. And while it is manipulative, so is anything else for that matter, it isn't used to hurt anyone. It is termed manipulative because it manipulates something. In this case, to bring change into my surroundings, to help me to be a better person. The following quote is from today's horoscope at http://www.tarot.com/ :
"Your thoughts can have a powerful impact on others now and you are willing to do battle to defend your beliefs. You can be quite convincing, but someone may feel as if you are beating him or her down with your persistence, rather than relying on the substance of your ideas. Go ahead and put them out there knowing the best ones will be embraced eventually. "
I don't care if anyone believes as I do or not, it's a personal thing, how you believe. If I insisted that all believe as me, it would be really boring...not to mention not being right. Belief is a personal thing, a person must find and follow their own path. Regardless of whether anyone else believes that way or not. It doesn't matter if anyone else believes, it's important that you find your own way, and find peace, the peace that surpasseth understanding. Even in the midst of turmoil, regardless of how I'm acting, or what's going on, I feel peaceful most of the time. Which just means that at that particular time, I'm not in total alignment with the Divine Will.
I do try to maintain alignment with the Divine Will, it just makes things so much easier for me. I try not to ask for things that I don't really want. But I do make requests for things I want or need, which is often synonymous. I believe that what I need or want will come to me, when I need it. Just as I believe that I have all the right answers to all the right questions, I know what I need to know when I need to know it. That isn't saying that I know everything, because I don't. I just know what works for me. It might not work the same way for others.
I think we all need to be in harmony with nature. With our surroundings. It's particularly hard when there's a lot of yelling and fighting...been there done that. Ain't gonna happen again. There's been enough drama in my life. Hell if I want drama, I'll be the one to create it. I sure as hell don't need any help on that score. Been there done that as well. That ain't gonna happen either. See, I'm an independent, feisty little woman, and if I don't like what's happening...I can and will leave. The door won't hit my butt on the way out, either. There'll be no arguing, no begging, no anything...except me leaving. I don't have to put up with bull from anyone. Hell, even if someone else paid my freakin' bills, I still wouldn't put up with bull. No point in it. Life is too sweet, and too short. Let's live like we mean it, not just pretend that we are. What would you do if today was your last day? Would you forgive old hurts? Would you make sure you kissed your mate goodbye before work? Would you go do the things you've been putting off until a better time? Would you tell your friend you really do love him/her, and then let him/her deal with it? Would you be too afraid to say anything? What if he/she rejected you? That would be a bitch now wouldn't it? But what if he/she loved you in return? Would you go fishing, or walking on the beach? I'm sure you get the idea. Go dance, do whatever you've wanted to for so long. Take the day off, or just do what you want to do.
Peace to all of you,

I have no idea what today's topic is yet
Dear Journal,
How am I supposed to write about something if I've no idea what I should write? Maybe an amusing little story? Or just what I've been thinking about today? Maybe parts of a dinner conversation?
I know that some of you who read this, don't agree with me. Guess what? I don't care. Everything expressed here is my belief, not someone else's. I've been at for some of the things I've said, and told that even saints feel sorry for themselves once in awhile. Gee, does mean I'm saint? Or that I should waste time feeling sorry for myself? Damn it! I will not. Just because others aren't on the same level as I am, doesn't mean I should do as they say. Nor does it make me any better than anyone else, or even that I know everything. I don't.
I believe in what I say, I believe what I say. I think life is perfect. Now what happens in life isn't. Life is a teacher, and a nurturer. The earth is my mother. I believe in many things. This blog is simply my expression. I haven't ask anyone to agree with me, not to believe as I do. What is the use in that? I don't care if you believe as I do or not. That is your business. Not mine.
But then I believe that we should live in harmony with nature, not in adversity. There is too much 'sport' killing, and it is an affront to anyone who cares about the balance of nature. It seems as if people are intent on killing the trees, but guess what? Where there are no trees, there is no air, then there is no us. We need those trees. Everything must be in balance, when things fall out of balance, earth herself will eventually right the balance.
Man is the most destructive being on this planet Earth. Why? The animals aren't. We are the most wasteful, the pettiest. What happened that caused mankind to become the way he is? I don't mean the fall of man, the garden of Eden theory. I mean even before then, when it first began. Mankind at one time lived in harmony with his surroundings, with nature. Then he stopped living in harmony, he became greedy, uncaring, he stopped being compassionate.
I believe that man is becoming the way he use to, in the very beginning. To be compassionate, caring. I would like to believe this to be true. I certainly hope it is.
When will we come to our senses and live in harmony with nature again? What is true for me, isn't necessarily true for others. I forget that sometimes. For that I apologize. But you know what? I like my life, what I don't like, I fix. I love me and accept me as I am.
With that thought in mind, I wish you all peace, love and laughter.

How am I supposed to write about something if I've no idea what I should write? Maybe an amusing little story? Or just what I've been thinking about today? Maybe parts of a dinner conversation?
I know that some of you who read this, don't agree with me. Guess what? I don't care. Everything expressed here is my belief, not someone else's. I've been at for some of the things I've said, and told that even saints feel sorry for themselves once in awhile. Gee, does mean I'm saint? Or that I should waste time feeling sorry for myself? Damn it! I will not. Just because others aren't on the same level as I am, doesn't mean I should do as they say. Nor does it make me any better than anyone else, or even that I know everything. I don't.
I believe in what I say, I believe what I say. I think life is perfect. Now what happens in life isn't. Life is a teacher, and a nurturer. The earth is my mother. I believe in many things. This blog is simply my expression. I haven't ask anyone to agree with me, not to believe as I do. What is the use in that? I don't care if you believe as I do or not. That is your business. Not mine.
But then I believe that we should live in harmony with nature, not in adversity. There is too much 'sport' killing, and it is an affront to anyone who cares about the balance of nature. It seems as if people are intent on killing the trees, but guess what? Where there are no trees, there is no air, then there is no us. We need those trees. Everything must be in balance, when things fall out of balance, earth herself will eventually right the balance.
Man is the most destructive being on this planet Earth. Why? The animals aren't. We are the most wasteful, the pettiest. What happened that caused mankind to become the way he is? I don't mean the fall of man, the garden of Eden theory. I mean even before then, when it first began. Mankind at one time lived in harmony with his surroundings, with nature. Then he stopped living in harmony, he became greedy, uncaring, he stopped being compassionate.
I believe that man is becoming the way he use to, in the very beginning. To be compassionate, caring. I would like to believe this to be true. I certainly hope it is.
When will we come to our senses and live in harmony with nature again? What is true for me, isn't necessarily true for others. I forget that sometimes. For that I apologize. But you know what? I like my life, what I don't like, I fix. I love me and accept me as I am.

the white bull
Dear Journal,
It seems as if I'm being chased by a white bull. If so, why? White bulls denote favor, prosperity, but they also denote sacrifice. They are also associated with Mithra...of Greek mythology, as well as Minos, and a bunch of others. I have had at least four dreams of the white bull over the years, and two of them were in the last week and a half. The dreams started in 2000, and while I don't remember dreaming about them before, in the dream I knew the ancient city I was in, and I even knew the bull that was chasing me. The bull didn't intend me any harm, and yet I was running from it...because I was probably trying to run from my destiny, at some point in one of my lives, present or prior. It matters not, the lesson was that you can run from your destiny, but you can't hide. The gods have called me for a purpose, and I will meet them this time. Can't go back on my word, now can I? A given word is a bond. Too many people break their bonds, and then expect people to trust them anyway. I don't trust liars, neither do others. But, trust has many levels.
Truth also is subjective, so what is true for one may not be true for others. What makes it subjective is how people perceive things. Just because you always see the grass as green, doesn't mean that others do as well...they might see it as orange, or whatever color.
Back to the white bulls. There are many legends and myths about them. Mithra has also been associated with the term "Sol Invictus", the Sun Unconquerable. Sol is one of the names of the Sun god. I remember awaking with that term in my mind one morning, and I was saying it as well. So I guess, they are in my life for a reason, which they will make more clear when they are ready. They will often 'humor' me with answers, but they really don't like to be rushed, nor do I. I give them the same courtesy they give me. Which is the same courtesy I would give anyone else. There are times when I think I need an answer right now, when in reality...I don't, it's just me wanting an answer now. I have found that if I give them a chance, things work out better, both in the long run and in the short interim. Sometimes my timetable and theirs run concurrently, then I am in sync with them, and it is so great! So I get my answers almost instantaneously at those times.
It is so beautiful today! It may be hot but the wind is blowing, and I would like to be by the water; I can imagine it tho. The earth, the wind, the water, and fire and the spirit. What a great combination. We embody all these things, and yet they are also represented by separate nature spirits or entities. Earth: physical body. Wind: breath. Water: All the liquids in our physical bodies, which is composed of 3/4 liquid (approximately). Fire: Our will, our passions. Spirit: Our spiritual bodies. All represented in one being, each of us has this. As above, so below.
Peace, all.

learning is a lifelong process
Hi,
If earth is the school, then who/what is the teacher? Life, herself..and all things and people we come in contact with. We learn all our life, and even beyond. I hardly think we stop learning just because we went on the journey, which some people call death. Everyone we come in contact with, every experience we have, every dream, everything we do and experience is our teacher.
If I had one wish, what would it be? Everyone always has a wish or three. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. Our wishes are sometimes unrealized, they are there...just waiting to happen. So if you don't reach out and claim it, you have only yourself to blame. I know what my wish is, and it's being realized everyday. I'm living my life as I want, not as someone else says I have to. But then, I never did take orders very well. lol
I don't really have anything else to say, so on that note...peace.

nothing much to say
Hi ya'll,
I don't have much to say today, even tho it's been a couple of days since I last posted here. Was up late last night, which is par for the course. I'm still meeting people, some interesting, some not so interesting. But when you can spend three hours just talking and laughing on the phone with someone, then someone is definitely interesting. Which includes telling a story, which I made up on the spur of the moment. Now that was cool. Should had a tape recorder! That will be rectified within the next couple of days.
Ok, now what? Oh yeah, people and respect. If you, as a guy, talk to me about your former partners...as in how good or bad they were at what, then you would be doing the same thing to me. That is disrespectful, and I have no intention of going out with someone who does that. Met a guy recently who does that very thing/ Perhaps that is why he's alone. Now I'm not talking about pretending there were never any partners, I'm referring to 'talking out of school', especially in a manner so as to paint the other persons as the ones at fault. It takes two to make a relationship work, regardless of which kind it is. There is no reason to be disrespectful of the other people. I don't like my ex, he was a sob, but I don't go around talking about him like that. I do tend to state the facts, but I don't portray it as being only his fault, nor did I talk about him sexually, except in a couple of instances. And neither of those are disrespectful. So, if you are reading this, (you know who you are), knock off the blame game and you just might find yourself a woman, but be assured, it won't be me. You already blew that. I refuse to play the blame game, and I sure as hell don't have time to waste being disrespectful to my former partners. Besides, whatever has happened in my life...has been my fault as much as anyone else's. I like to take responsibility for myself, yeah the bad as well as the good.
People are as they want to be for a variety of reason. Actually they haven't arrived there yet, but they are working on it. People are always doing something, some good...some bad...we all are. Difference is, some of us know it. We should all live in the fullness of the moment. To live as if that is the last moment we should ever live during this physical incarnation. Taste the fullness of life. I suppose that in some ways, life is just a little like sex. Some moments are very satisfying, and some are boring. A guy who appreciates breasts, for instance...he'll cup the palm of his hand around her breast, feeling the softness, the firmness of it. He'll feel the amazing contours in his hand, and then he'll taste the softness of her whole breast one little taste, one little tongue stroke at a time, working up to sucking on the nipple. He knows the value of taking the time to enjoy what he has, in the fullness of the moment. Same with any other part of the anatomy he particularly likes. Or adores. Women do so enjoy being treated as if they are the only thing that matters at the time, but then so do men. There's just something about touching, tasting, smelling a particular scent that is well worth taking the time to enjoy, and not rushing. You can't do some things well when in a rush. You might get where you want, but it isn't nearly as good. Enough sex talk. And on that note, have a pleasant day...or night if you're reading it at night.
Peace,

magick with a K
Hi All,
I suppose that most of you who know me understand why I spell magick with a 'K'. It is to differentiate between 'real' magick and the stage variety. Now there's no argument that illusion is a type of magic. The magick I work is real in the sense that while I might be creating an illusion, it lasts, where as stage magick is gone with the magician. The stage magician might appear to saw a woman in half, but this is just illusion, or even turn scarves into doves. The magick I do, such as casting a spell for money, protection or anything else will last.
All people do magick without realizing it. Magick is energy, all things are energy...even thoughts. Everything that exists, past, present and future, are only thoughts manifested by the thinker. What you focus on is what you draw to you. In order to change the way things are, you must first find out what it is you need to do. Then take action accordingly. Decide upon your intent, focus on your desire, then send your request out to the Universe. To 'God', or whatever it is you believe in. I believe in many gods and goddesses, I find them fascinating. I talk to them, as well as to the Universe. I talk to animals, plants, trees, things...whatever it is that I need/want to talk to. I see spirits and hear them, so I talk to them as well. They have always been there. Right now, my life is where I want it to be. If I were to say it is getting to where I want it to be, it would always be getting there, but not there yet. So I say it is there. Think about it, there is a difference. I am always working on it, to refine it, so it is always in the present. Picture in your mind that which you desire, see it as already having happened. Don't worry about how or where it comes from, just let the thoughts go out into the Universe. Dont' focus on your lack, that is all you will get if you do. You will multiply nothing by nothing. Think on what you would do with the money, rather than the lack of money. A personal little story along this line. I was walking to working and needed money. I worked 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. That day I had no money for coffee, snacks, or even cigarettes. I thought I wish I had a dollar, but if I find a dollar...what will I use it for? Coffee? cigarettes? a snack? I knew that if I found a dollar I would have to make a choice, so I said I would buy the cigarettes, but also get coffee if there were enough left. I'm not working for 10 hours without cigerettes. I kept picturing in my mind what I would do if I had a dollar, then thought..well..if I had two, I could get coffee, cigerettes, and a snack. I kept walking, and thinking. Within 10 minutes, I saw this folded up piece of paper on the street, so I picked it up. I realized it was money, but what denomination? Unfolding it I saw that it was a dollar, when I had it unfolded...I found it to be 2 one dollar bills. So...I had cigerettes, coffee and a snack. I use to do that all the time when I was getting low on cigerettes, sometimes I would find a cigerette pack with money inside. That's just one of the little 'magickal' things I do. It comes naturally. I didn't even know that's what it was until I started reading about it. In other words, I was practicing magick all along. lol And didn't even know it. I'm actually glad I was doing it before I knew what it was, because I had my own proof that it works. Some people use it for parking spaces, or traffic lights.
And since it works so well, and since we're all connected anyway, why not use it? It's life, it's energy. It's inherent within all of us, it is menat to be used. It may take awhile, if you aren't used to using it, but it works. If you have a mop, and you also have a cloth..which are yo going to use to mop the kitchen floor with? Will you do it the easy way? Or the hard way? Which one is more efficient? Use the tool for the job. When it comes to magick, the tool fits the hand, just like a glove. Or in this case, the mind. Start out with little things, maybe you should manifest a $1.oo. Now I realize that a $1 doesn't go far, but it will prove to you that you can do this. Don't worry about where it comes from, just that it will come. See it as already there in your possession. In time you will be able to manifest other things. Even love can come into your life, when you are truly ready.
When I sat down in front of my PC, I had no idea what I was going to write. As a matter of fact, my title was "hello all", then I found myself changing it to the current title. Now I know. Someone needed to read this, it could've even been me, needing a refresher course. But someone needs it.
I wish all peace, love and laughter,

today's horoscope for me...lol
Hi All,
This is my horoscope from tarot.com:
""You could experience one of your recurring patterns today, where two solutions to a problem are equally attractive. Although you want your freedom, you also want love. This means that you may have to surrender some of that very same independence you desire. Even if you are leaning toward the intimacy and inclusion, keep your travel options open. ""
Now how cool is that? It actually is saying that while I might find love, I should realize that I may also be leaving. I find this to be rather amusing. Like so much of my life. I suppose that when you connect with the divine within you, then most things are amusing. I definitely find this one amusing.
I read this particular horoscope page each day, and find that it is very often in sync with what's going on in my life at the time. This isn't to say it's always right, or that anyone else should go there. I do like it tho. Of course, like anyone else, I like it when things are "in sync". It does tend to make things easier. Easier isn't always better, but sometimes it is.
I like it when I can help things fall into place for me. I don't like being at odds with myself, or my surroundings. Don't really like to be at odds with others either, but whatever it takes to "get the job done", is what I'm going to do.
I believe in me, and in my abilities to get things done. As well as in the fact that I know from past experience, I can get it done. Regardless of what it is that I think I need to do. The abilities of which I speak comes from our divine self. Which in turn comes from the source of all. That which some call "God". Of course I believe in "God", but I also believe in many gods, because we all come from the divine, the source, therefore we are gods in training. I also many people scoff at this, but your non-belief doesn't make it any less true. If you ask your higher self, then listen for the answer...you will know. The Source, from which all things flow. An unending supply of everything we need. We are not just physical being, we are spirit beings in physical bodies. We are having a"human" experience, in order to understand why people are the way they ae, why they make the decisions they make, etc. If you judge someone without understanding why they do what they do, tehn you will draw that experience to you, and find yourself having to make similar decisions. Been there, done that...so I know from first hand experience. But I have also learned that if I can think it through and understand why they made the decision they did, then I don't have to go thru that experience because I already understand.
People do make their own reality, and it's real for them. My reality is mine. Yours is yours. I choose what to let affect me, and sometimes I do a bad job of it. But as with all others, I'm learning. It's not so much how they act, as to how I react. I can choose to be happy, inside, where it counts...regardless of how things are around me. Yes I do bitch about things, and it usually means I'm thinking of a way to rectify my situation. I only bitch up to a certain point, then I take action. It isn't usually the action others want, but it is my choice of how to handle things. You can't say you weren't warned.
Peace,

Of course I believe in "God", but I also believe in many gods, because we all come from the divine, the source, therefore we are gods in training. I also many people scoff at this, but your non-belief doesn't make it any less true. If you ask your higher self, then listen for the answer...you will know. The Source, from which all things flow. An unending supply of everything we need. We are not just physical being, we are spirit beings in physical bodies. We are having a"human" experience, in order to understand why people are the way they ae, why they make the decisions they make, etc. If you judge someone without understanding why they do what they do, tehn you will draw that experience to you, and find yourself having to make similar decisions. Been there, done that...so I know from first hand experience. But I have also learned that if I can think it through and understand why they made the decision they did, then I don't have to go thru that experience because I already understand.
People do make their own reality, and it's real for them. My reality is mine. Yours is yours. I choose what to let affect me, and sometimes I do a bad job of it. But as with all others, I'm learning. It's not so much how they act, as to how I react. I can choose to be happy, inside, where it counts...regardless of how things are around me. Yes I do bitch about things, and it usually means I'm thinking of a way to rectify my situation. I only bitch up to a certain point, then I take action. It isn't usually the action others want, but it is my choice of how to handle things. You can't say you weren't warned.
Peace,

reality.....which dimension?
Hi All,
I have been thinking a lot lately about the coming pole shift. I mean, think about it, what exactly is it? Is it a physical shift? If so, how much? Is it only a dimensional shift? If so, what is that? Is there an ascension coming? Christians call this the 'rapture'. The word they base their belief on is parousia...a Greek word meaning, loose interpretation, a visitation.
And yet, think about this...does it have to be this way? If we are to enter another dimension, then why does there have to be geophysical changes? In order for the earth to be magnetically aligned with healing energies, that's why. While there will be a change, it doesn't have to be so severe as many believe. Many times we re given a chance to change our reality, to change our ways.
We can all be better people, have more compassion for our fellow man. We can all learn to live peacefully, with tolerance for each individuals belief. We, as part of the human race, need to be of an open enough mind to realize that all have the right to believe as he/she chooses. There really is no excuse for war, from a human race point of view. If you seek to always war and hate, then how can you ever learn love and peace? It does exist. In the heart of each man, woman and child there is the hope for peace, and there is the eternal wellspring of love. Why do we not let this take the lead in our human relations? Why not let it take precedence in or lives? Are we all so shallow that we cannot "live and let live"? Must we all try to be in control of others because we haven't yet learned self-control? Why? Why have we not yet learned how to be tolerant? To love instead of hate? Peace instead of war? To live in balance with our planet, instead of always abusing her? Do you not realize that the earth is a living entity? Or do you not really care?
The earth will shift, we will go thru a dimensional change, we will forget our old habits of war and hate. We will live in peace and love. We will respect Mother Earth, and stop abusing her. People always bitch and moan whenever there's a storm, an earthquake, tsunami, volcano eruption, etc...but who is to blame? This has been going on since near the beginning of time, and we have only ourselves to blame. This has happened before, and will most likely happen again. Because we seem to be rather stupid creatures. Consider this...we go thru this and yet keep repeating it because we refuse to learn. How many times must we do this before we learn? Before we get it thru our thick skulls that we are responsible for our own reality? We are responsible for how things are in our life. I'm not talking about the things that can't be changed, (because at this time, they can't be). I'm talking about things that can be. Why, for instance, do you hate a person for the color of their skin? Or the belief system they choose. Did you ever stop to think that it isn't any one person's right to make all the decisions? We are all part of the Supreme Creator, and we all have Divine Will inside us, we are all part of the Universe. There are entities living here, who come from other planes of existence, who are from other planets. What must they think about our ways? Our petty bickering? Our acting like kids or bullies? As if any of us give a damn. Maybe we should think about what others think of us, in the way in which we act. I mean, if the way we act leads another to be more tolerant, more compassionate, more loving...wouldn't that be worth it? Change begins with just one person. Who will "so let his/her light to shine" that it makes a difference. There are people like that, some are still living, some have moved on. Mother Theresa, Princess Diane, Mahatma Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus, Martin Luther King, Benjamen Franklin, Steven Spielberg, Malachi Martin, and too many to list here...but I'm sure you get the idea. These people were selfless in their desire and action to help mankind. We all need to be a little more like them. I'm not saying in how they necessarily lived their lives, but rather the actions they took. I'm not talking about giving money to a charity, which often doesn't even go to what it's supposed to. But rather the giving of our thoughts to things being better, not just when Jesus or some other entity comes back. We can all stop the atrocities we keep doing to each other if we but take action. I don't care what people think, if I did I wouldn't be writing any of this. But if my actions, or my words, make a difference...then I do care, and I'm glad. I'm not here to fix people, that is your job..to fix yourself. You can make a difference, and don't ever let anyone tell you different.
Back to the earth changes. What if enough people believed that it didn't have to be so hard? It's good to be prepared, but if enough people were to change their thinking about it, maybe it won't be so bad. Seems to me that it's worth a shot. I would much rather think about the good and the way I want it to be than to always to dwell on the bad. Yes I do bitch about things, some of them bad, but I also am thankful for all the good. But then I've been thankful for the bad as well, since it is thru adversity we seem to learn the fastest. Which is backwards to how it could be. If we can just get past our own personal prejudices, and see others for what they are, we can do better. Look, I don't like how some people act, and it seems as if they are too stupid for words. But I can also see the god/goddess within. That part allows me to cut them some slack, but I don't have to like the way they act. It is a beginning, to realize that we aren't all perfect, but that we can still be who we are, and change our way of thinking.
ask yourself this: Is it more important to go thru geophysical changes that's going to change lives by damaging to the earth, the flora and fauna, the people, the animals, etc? Or is it more important to only go thru a dimensional change with less physical harm?
Peace,

a few things to discuss
Dear Journal,
I want to discuss a number of things today. A friend of mine, says the Dineh..the Navajo, have a saying...Walk in beauty. This is a beautiful saying, and it should pertain to all peoples, everywhere. Unfortunately, many people refuse to face reality and take responsibility for themselves...then end up on drugs or as alcoholics. This is no way to live. We are all responsible for ourselves, as well as each other. But in order to do this, we must first stop the blame game.
I knew for awhile that Charlie would die, and yet it was the way things must be. No, I don't like it, but it is also a fact that we can't always change things.
Charlie, in a manner of speaking, was my whole world. I know some of you know what I mean by that. Of course other things exist, but he was the most important. Now he's gone and I know how it feels to lose someone so close that you literally live inside each other's head. It's like a big piece of me is missing. Will it ever be replaced? Not bloody likely. Will I ever love again? Damn straight I will, and no matter how deep it is, it will never be the same. That's ok, since I don't want another Charlie. Just someone who is right for me, as Charlie was. I have no intentions of making a comparison between him and anyone else.
I keep asking myself, how do I do this? One second, one minute, one hour, one day at a time. I know he isn't coming back. This has had a very big impact on my life. Of course, the same as if it were anyone else. No one is untouched by death, it is a fact of life, but it is also just a part of the overall cycle. Still it really hurts. The part of me that understands all this accepts it, but the part of me which feels the pain wants him back, and I have no idea how to reconcile the two parts of me.
I've had an interesting weekend. I'll not go into details, but some men need to freakin' grow up. Life goes on, and by the way...I detest guys who are afraid to do what the know they need to do, as well as those who expect others to think for them. We all need to take responsibility for ourselves. I'll be nice, and not reveal any names. If you didn't do it, then don't worry about it...this statement is to those who did.
I am creating options, as I always do. I'll do what I please, and I'll go where I please, simply because I do pay my own way. I don't need anyone's permission to do as I damn well please, including taking chances. Hell's bells!!! All life is a chance. What do you think I'm supposed to do? Sit on the sidelines, or stay in a rut, or eeek!!! let someone else run my life? It ain't gonna happen. When I want a boss, I'll hire one. If my attitude and my ideas make me a bitch, then so be it. Just remember: I freakin' earned the right to be one, and most of what I've learned, I learned it from guys. So if you don't like the way I am, maybe you should take a long look at yourself...then come and bitch to me about what you don't like. Maybe I'll have an answer for ya. I realize that sometimes ppl tease, and if I know that's all it is...it might be ok, but don't think it's ok if you don't even know me.
I don't take advantage of other people, nor do I use ppl...I have a life and I don't need to do that. You ppl who don't have a life, man, you need to get one.
Look, I can understand being nervous or even anxious about doing things with ppl you don't even know, but how the hell else you gonna get to know them. I grew up with brothers, so maybe I take different types of chances than most of the ladies you guys know. That's fine, but please, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm an idiot, or dumb, or stupid. I actually have a very high IQ, and so far from what I've seen...no insult intended, but I do have a mind, and I do know what I want. Can't say that about some of you. And...at this moment I don't give a damn about that either.
No one is perfect, although we can strive for it. There is no Mr./Ms. Perfect out there...only the one who's perfect for you. I have faults, so does everyone else. Have you looked in the mirror lately? You're part of the "everyone else", as am I. I don't claim to be perfect. Neither should you. I must admit, I've never yet met anyone who actually said they are perfect.
Ok, enough ranting. LOL. Today was a beautiful day, even tho I was at my brother's. I would much rather have been out doing something. But that is ok, I did some thinking...oh no! she's thinking!!! now that's just down right dangerous. Someone, I forget who, it's been years... said tat to me. I think it's funny, thought it was funny then too. I thought about my past, my present, and my future. I thought about the things to come. I thought about the patterns that most ppl don't seem to perceive. If I want to understand something, I only need to look at the pattern to see where it's going, how it's going to be, and what will happen. It's quite interesting really.
I think that's enough for now. Peace to all of you.
