The Secret

[lilly]

Sandy,
That's funny because a tile fell off my wall as well, luckily there was no mould behind it....we've blasted it with the big guns...Lol
Your driving will be a great success....just pretend you only drove 100 miles yesterday....nobody will even guess... You will be fine....take that wheel pretend that's a car...check in front a little way ahead and keep looking in the rear vision mirror here and there...
If George is a back seat driver then gag him....Lol I'm sure he's not...only kidding...my partner is.. ..and I don't listen..unless of course he really has something helpful to say...to avoid danger.

Love lilly

Phil is a front-seat-back-seat-driver! But of course it falls on my deaf ears. It can be quite rowdy though! "Watch that pot hole....there's a cyclist over there! Oh, slow down!!!!Can't you see that great big hump in the road??
Phil driving: Me: "Aaaaaggghhhhhh! Jesus Christ Philip! It does say 30kmph here!!!!" "Watch that bend....." (two of the wheels go off the edge of the road into oblivion for 2 seconds); "You're doing 40 kays on a bend you NUTTER!!!" (5 Packs of dogs are chasing us by now, with a couple of folk with pitchforks and torches!).... Watch the dog Phil......WATCH THE DOG!!! Watch the freaking DOOOOOOG!"
That kind of thing going on....

I love driving though, without the man. I went to LEGOLAND in Denmark when I was 11. My Dad wanted to show hid daughters off to his Danish girlfriend, Ingrid. She was very nice! And we all went to Legoland for the day. I spent the whole time in the realistic lego village, in my electronic lego car!

[LilyJune]

Hey All,

It's been such a joy reading the conversation..I've been MIA. I'm having a bit of a rough spell lately, and sometimes you just don't feel like talking. Lilly I think you said it a while back; you don't feel like your head is connected to your body! I've had so many prompts lately, and new ones. I've had my computer go out, broke my camera, stop lights have flashed as I approached, I woke up this morning with a jump hearing an alarm go off in my ear. There was no alarm but I heard it. My name,first or last I hear on radio, tv etc. I really feel bombarded.

And on top of it I feel 'weepy'...I miss my parents so much right now as I write my eyes well up. It hurts so much and I miss them so much. Lulu understand I'm crying and tries to comfort..it helps.I feel so overwhelmed by everything.

My ebay is going well, I'm mailing all my packages that day or the next, so I've overcome that challenge..I've also dealt successfully with a few other things. So, I should feel fine, right? Do you know what I mean?

Sandy; congratulations! What an accomplishment! Have you tooled around by yourself yet? I love thunderstorms..we rarely get them here in southern California. I lived in Florida a while and loved the weather changes...not the humidity, could never get my hair straight without going to get a blow dry! It's about 100 here today and we have humidity from a storm south in Mexico. We're not use to it and everyone here is comlpaining.

Lilly; I'm so happy you no longer have mold. When I brought some boxes into my previous apartment that had been in storage, I became terribly sick. I was at the doctors all the time and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. My legs and feet swelled to where I could hardly walk without crutches. I couldn't breath, coughed etc....Well finally we figured it out. Everytime I left the apartment for any length of time I started feeling better. I had movers come in and remove the boxes, had a deep cleaning of carpets and everything else and stayed at a hotel for a couple of weeks. It worked!!! I felt 100% better almost immediately. There really is toxic mold.

Aqua Deb;It's good to meet you also!

Pet, I'm so glad you had enough strength to cling to those rocks! I completely understand clinging on...my partner and I were in Hawaii and out snorkeling in a remote beach when we got caught in a rip tide. We were very far out and I was taking on water! There was a rock jetty and that was it - so he we started that direction and he kept pushing my butt toward the rocks...finally got close enough to them while waves were hitting us and trying to take off the flippers. Well we made it but it was not easy. Later that night he proposed and told me he had to keep pushing because he had plans to propose that night with the ring and everything!!

Hello Laura and pp, I hope you're doing well today

To anyone I neglected to mention, I'm sorry...and HELLO!

Oh also, I am scared stiff of spiders, this goes back a ways in the thread, always have been. They have their purpose, but not in my house! I have an attached garage and I think I saw a black widow a week ago. It hid as I came in the garage but I know it's there. If I pick up something and it is on there I'll freak. I once stopped my car in the middle of the road because a spider was hanging off my rear view mirror...

Bye for now, Love and hugs,
LilyJune

[LilyJune]

Something funny about our weather in Southern California...When we are expecting, just expecting rain our weather reporters are on 'storm watch'. When we actually get any amount of rain they call it 'storm watch '08' and will have numerous reporters 'in the field' waiting for rain! The in-studio reporters get so excited and talk faster, go to every weather screen they have, and the news cuts to them every few minutes for an update...it is just hilarious. We don't get much change in weather usually 70 something and sunny. So when they get the chance they take full advantage!

[Seeker13]

Hi, all!
Wow! I finally get a few minutes to visit this thread and Aleah says, "In five minutes I need to get on-line!" Five minutes!!!

Here goes!
Pet,
I'm so grateful you are safe and sound. And everyone knows my husband cannot drive without my help. Explaining the whys of this could be a thread all by itself! Spiders! A wolf spider crawled out of the arm of my coat a few months ago. The first thing I did was grab a glass to trap him in to take him to my room for all the kids to look at under magnifying glasses. Remember ladies, "Spiders are our friends."

Jem,
You crack me up, I too get distracted by shiny things.

Don,
If you went back to the 1111th thread it would probably only take you 2013 hours to catch up.... more or less.

PP,
My Mom would have said that, "You're busier than a cat on a hot tin roof!" The funniest thing has happened with my spiritual books. My Lousie Hay, Ask, and another book have disappeared, along with three meditation stones!!! I was just reading a thread that George responded to about the midwayers hiding things and wondered if that was the same in my case, it's very curious! We are going to the Upper Peninsula this next week and I have nothing to read!

Sandy,
"YOU CAN DO IT!!!" sending all the positive vibes I can muster.

Reba,
On this thread no one gets tossed,... or we'd all be gone for one reason or another.

Memaw,
My heart goes out to you. Remember the bridge meditation, it's so much easier to hand it all over.

Aqua Deb,
Glad to hear that your safely relocated.

LilyJune,
I'm sorry haven't had time to read up on your parents. If it's because they passed all you have to do is talk to them and they'll hear you, really that's all it takes. If it's because they are away ask your guides to send them love through their guides, and let them know you need to hear from them. Wish I had a chance to say more... "You are so loved."

Well, it's probably been more than five minutes. Thank you so much for all of you being here. My heart smiles, even if it's only to spend a few minutes and then be off again.

Love to you all!!!
Kim

AwwhawwwaWWWWWWWWWW! and him pushing your bottom to safety and all??
Phil proposed to me on that Volvic hill! You know that hill you se on the Volvic mineral water bottle??? Yeah, he took me right to the top, shampers and all, to ask me to marry him. My answer: "But my hair's all greasy! What will the photos look like?"
What a daft tuuuuuuuuuwwwwwwit, OR WHAT?

Your husband sounds lush, a bit like mine?

Love, pet XXX

[LilyJune]

Pet, it is so good to see your smiling face! He was lush..we had the best 11 years together, traveled the world because of his job and we really loved each other. Something went wrong and we've been divorced for 4 years. We seperated a month before my parent's passed. They loved each other very much, in fact that night he proposed he called my parent's to ask their blessing. How fun everytime you drink water he can propose again, and again???

Kim, you came in as my 111th email! It's very nice to meet you. What you said at the end 'you are so loved' made me cry again, but in a good way. It's the exact phrase I say to the people closest to me. There is always a reason isn't there? You are so loved......

A very, very big bear hug,
LilyJune

[reba]

LilyJune,

Your "Storm Watch '08" cracked me up. Had to laugh. Reminds me of the craziness here in the south in the winter. We have reporters on the scene when and inch of snow falls. The schools and roads close and we talk about the snow for months after.

Love,
Reba

[Petra Wilson]

Sorry LillyJune, I didn't think, as per...
He still sounds lush though, and nope! the design on the volvic bottle has now changed, there's no mountain anymore... Oh well!

[LilyJune]

Hi Reba, you know what it's like with our weather reporters!

Pet, you couldn't have known and I am sorry about your mountain!

I sat down to watch some television and stopped at Larry King which I rarely watch. He is interviewing a family named Chapman about their loss of their 5 year old daughter. The oldest son accidently hit the little girl in their driveway. As sad as it is, the family's faith is so strong they said they were bringing it public because it can help others. That they know they will see her again one day and we don't know why God does what he does. They said it is like looking at one small spot on a mural then stepping back and seeing the big picture. That God sees the big picture even when we don't. That God cries...he cries for our pain. Jesus cried. That God is never closer than when our heart is breaking.

I know that my parents are near..I talk to them, Lulu sees them. I guess that is what all my old and new prompts are about. That is why I'm here on this site and joined this coffee house. I still miss calling my mom and saying 'what r u doing'...I miss my dad saying 'if you can't be good be careful' every single time I backed out of their driveway...I miss their hugs and touching them. I miss being a daughter. I'm crying again so God must be sitting next to me...

Love you all,
LilyJune

[lilly]

Hi Everyone,
LilyJune, I'm sending you a big *hug* to help make you feel better. That spider is probably thinking to itself...'better lay low' Lol
Pet, you and Phil sound like me and my better half......in the car, him being Italian he gets very animated....Lol He was born here so there's no accent.....only Aussie drawl and occasional swearing....
Your two partners sound so romantic.....I was all dreamy reading your stories...
Losing both your parents and a marriage break up would be a lot to cope with at one time. LilyJune. Godbless you. Life can be tough but we seem to get by just a day at a time...sometimes.
Kim, you are such a lovely person, well you all are , feel lucky to know you all.
Sandy, I hope George isn't cross with me for saying gag him........always was a rebel at school like St Trinians.....couldn't help getting in trouble....only silly stuff thank goodness. I haven't changed....
Love all you people here and enjoy reading what you've all been up to.
Laura and pp, hello to you two lovely ladies.
I'm off to the supermarket.....hope I find a trolley that goes in a straight line instead of all over the place....ramming into all and sundry..
Love lilly xxx

[Sandy]

Hello Everyone,

LilyJune, I am joining the others hear and sending you a big hug. My heart just broke when you said...

I still miss calling my mom and saying 'what r u doing'...I miss my dad saying 'if you can't be good be careful' every single time I backed out of their driveway...I miss their hugs and touching them. I miss being a daughter. I'm crying again so God must be sitting next to me...

You are still a daughter sweetheart. You always will be one... forever and a day.
And you will always have a Mom and Dad who love you even though it doesn't feel like it at times when the pain is so strong and the distance seems so great. Do you think it would help to write them a lettter every night or so...tell them about your day just as if you were speaking with them on the phone. Of course you can always just speak to them, but you are a lovely writer whose thoughts and emotions come forward so clearly with the written words... This simple exercise has helped me deal with all kinds of "trouble" in my life. I often write a letter every night to God and talk with him about my day. (My goodness...the Creator of us all has heard an enormous amount of complaints over the years from me and if I ever pass on, which of course I will some day, I pray they bury my lot of journals with me...
Anyway, I am sending you and Lulu some love right now...What would we do without our pets who love us unconditionally...Well, most do...(don't get me started on my parrot Lacey! )

I got the biggest chuckle about the descriptions of back seat drivers riding around with all of you. George hasn't ridden with me yet, because... well, I haven't had the nerve to get behind the wheel of the car yet. My landlord didn't help when he said more Americans get killed in Australia while driving on the wrong side of the road!

Lilly, George would get a chuckle about you saying gag him...I don't think he will be a problem...erhmm... but I must admit that I make all the back seat drivers riding around with all of you look tame! look tame.. Poor George Patient as Job in the Bible he is. To tell you the truth, I am surprised he hasn't set me out on the side of the road a long time ago.

You know I have already gone on enough...but I have been thinking about something. I was a little annoyed a few weeks ago when I went all prepared with what I thought I needed to get my drivers license. And then it didn't happen because of a glitch.. I found I was a little aggravated with the Powers that be... (I know, I should be embarassed! ) But in retrospect with what happened now, this week, I can see God's hand in this, working in ways to my benefit and turning what seems like a disadvantage to my advantage. Let me explain...

The man who helped me at the RTA (Motor registry) the first time decided because of my visa standing that he would not be able to issue me anything other than a one year license. Well we all know that it didn't go through that day, but then the woman who helped me this time at the RTA offered me the choice of a five year license! so of course I snatched it right up! In the long run this tiny bit of waiting for paperwork from the U.S. verifying my lengthy driving record there...worked to my advantage...

Okay...wake up every body, I'm done!

Hey I love you very patient people very much! Have a good week end!
Love,
Sandy

[LilyJune]

Thank you all for your hugs & love,

Sandy the tears rolled again when you called me sweetheart and said I would always be a daughter. I felt such love from you on the other side of the world. Your words are so comforting...and your idea of writing may help. My friends say I should write a book about my experiences. I've never tried writing about my day to my parents, this may be a good time. Thank you for sharing how putting pen to paper has helped you process.

I think Lulu felt your love. I watched the clock roll by at 10:10.11:11 and decided to go to bed.When going to bed we have a routine. I say 'let's go to bed' and she trots off to get 'her bedtime cookie'. Then when I'm in bed she is next to me for a few minutes of hugs before she goes to the end of the bed to sleep.

Last night she got on top of me and would not stop kissing my hands and my face. She's a kisser but not my face. She just wouldn't leave me alone and would not go the end of the bed. She sat and stared at me, she 'sat pretty' on my stomach. She looked at me and kissed me for a very long time.

This morning I woke up to her doing exactly the same. I had a dream right before waking and Lulu was in it. I dreamed I was driving with Lulu on the freeway and we stopped for gas at a station that actually exists. There were a lot of cars and people around...as we began driving off a swarm of dragonflys were around my car. I got out, held out my hand and two came toward me then landed on my hand. I saw their dragonfly faces and detailed wings. In my dream I said 'that was my mom and dad visiting'. Well, the dream went on for more adventures - so very detailed - colors,textures, words...a very sweet and gentle couple was trying to help me..I don't know who they were. I was there, Lulu was there, and so were my parent's spirit.

I also dreamed I was in Miami visiting a dear friend...I can remember saying I need to leave, we both know this won't work out. I felt his face, I looked into his eyes, I kssed his ckeek. It was good and I felt very content. I woke up in the middle of the night and sent him a text about the dream. We always shared dreams...he wrote back saying he had also been thinking of me all day yesterday. You know, Kim wrote me a few threads ago and ended by saying 'you are so loved'. I told him that almost everyday for several years.

Lilly, thank you for you hugs I felt and needed so. I love your new avatar. I attended SRF Self Realization Fellowship in Malibu for many years. Yoganda stayed there for a time. There is a beautiful lake with white swans swimming, a houseboat where he stayed, and beautiful grounds to walk. About a month ago friends from Los Angeles came down and we went to Sunday service at the SRF Encinitas location. Their gounds are sitting high on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. You walk paths next to koi ponds with the largest koi I've ever seen. Then you make your way to the top of the path covered by trees where the ocean is in full view. There are many benches to sit and contemplate. That day was so beautiful with surfers below and sailboats in the distance. They have accomodation if one wants to stay a weekend or longer. Wouldn't that be nice?

I feel like I have such 'old' friends here and I care about each of you. Thank you for the love and care you've shown me...I feel at home.

Love and hugs,
LilyJune

[lilly]

LilyJune,
Your dream was amazing and I agree that your parents are very much with you. The self realization centres over where you are sound beautiful.
I could picture it in my mind very well and would love to stay at one myself.
The sun is shining outside and the world is awake...must trust the ever present Love flowing through all things....I often feel the gentle hand of a helper and am filled with appreciation. The name LuLu holds some significance for me....so I'm sending her a little hug, too.
Reba, Kim and Sarah it's been a while since I've said hello to you.
I'd better go and get some work done around here....with pets it gets messy very quickly.....Phoenix has had breakfast and is waiting for his cat milk.....his lovely pale green eyes are staring intently at me and this very demanding stomping thing is going on.....Lol
I'm hired help here....I get paid with purrs and nuzzles and covered in dog fur....Now where's my brush to get the fur off?
Much love to you all.
lilly xxxxx

[memawlaura]

Just wanted to pop in and tell everyone how much your loved and great big bear hugs to all.

LilyJune, you sound like your understanding those dreams and eventhough you could not see your parents you felt it was them. What's the significance of dragonflys? Great that you got with your friend and your right we are all old souls on a path together .

Sandy, just get in that car and go its best to go by yourself so when problems occur no one is making you nervous. Go visit Lilly and Gypsy that would be a lengthy drive .

[gypsie]

Well as I was trying to catch with 5 pages I felt lost and long gone from our coffee house then I caught my name and it said Sandy come visit lLily and Gypsie
The move has really knocked us about it was huge and I am still trying to unpack with no storage I almost feel so shaken I need to be on the healing thread, can't lift my right arm as I've torn tentions scrubbing sugar soap on walls in the house we left, my back is breaking have no energy and have cut all over my fingers, basically look bloody awful gang.
I have missed you all and we have made a decision to put cement in our feet to stay this time, TOOO OLDDDD...

Well I hope you all remember me if not my name is Gypsie full of self pity and shattered to the core from the massive task this move was..

Miss and love my gang Gypsie

[Sandy]

Dearest gypsie,

My heart jumped for joy when I saw your post on the thread...You my dear, the originator of this lengthy monster will always be the heart and soul so to speak, of "the International Coffee house".
After this last (hopefully) difficult move...you are a little tired and stressed, all perfectly normal and to be almost expected emotions. After all darlin, how many moves have you made in the past two years?... Movings tuff... Gosh, I know how back breaking scrubbing walls can be...I had to do it in our little flat before we painted last year. And this is just a little place... You've had a big place to clean...

I will say a prayer for you tonight and I am sending you as much love as I can muster...(I'll ask Mother Nebadonnia for a little help...) Picture yourself crawling up on Our Universe Mother's lap. Lay your head against her and feel her most loving arms around you singing to you in the language of love that always flows straight to the heart with calming peace...
I will always love you and need you sis!
{Huge Hug!}
XXX Sandy

I got my license so hopefully I will actually do some driving ...and practicing and can come see you and Lilly or at the very least maybe meet you guys somewhere halfway Like we once talked about. ...here I come...Look out....

[Petra Wilson]

Hello Gypsie, and welcome to the MB, I see you live in Australia? You hope we all remember you? Remember you? I'm still having nightmares Debs, KIDDING!
As a 'victim' of around 30 major house moves under me belt I know what it's like. And in the British army, when you moved out of a quarter, an inspector would be there at the 'march out' as it was called and with white gloves, go around the house or flat, wiping all surfaces...including doorframes! It's a bloody miracle I always passed the inspection, 'specially as I always forgot the door frames!

Sending you All big massive healing hugs.

LillyJune, as Sandy quoted:

I still miss calling my mom and saying 'what r u doing'...I miss my dad saying 'if you can't be good be careful' every single time I backed out of their driveway...I miss their hugs and touching them. I miss being a daughter. I'm crying again so God must be sitting next to me...

you have a devastating way with straight forward words which tug at the ol' heart strings. And not just women's!

Sandy, I'm sorry I missed your post about your already passing your test. It's good to get and about, but I can't afford it much here anymore, with the price of petrol. Once again, I'm thinking about buying a donkey, or a mule to get the weekly shop! (I'd put up a laughing smiley here, but it ain't really funny, it's quite true!!!) Ohh, I couldn't resist!
Just before we arrived a very old man here died. His wife died months previously and all his friends say he died of a broken heart. He left a donkey, 2 mules and a white horse, who roam the area freely now. Nobody knows what to do about them. Often they clippety clop into the village, looking for their master, and the locals shoo them out again. My kids delight in their presence and run out to greet and pet them, but get sternly told not to, as they bite and kick. But they do it anyway, and the animals seem to love it, so I dismiss the protests. It's funny though, I watched the troupe clomp into the village a few days ago and a tourist was determined to make friends with the donkey, but he wanted nothing to do with him and got a bit nasty! Some of the villagers started to herd them out again with sticks. The kids witnessed it and before I could stop them ran out to them. They didn't listen to my protests, then suddenly I had a feeling, so shut up and watched.
Thalia was there first, and shouting in English, stopped the protests. She went to the donkey and started to stroke his face and mane and he was as calm as can be. With tenderness, rather than sticks and shouting, they guided the animals out of the village. It's silly really. When everyone leaves to their permenant homes, the animals will come back more often. And then I'll give it a go to go shopping with 'donkey' to Moriani?

Now I'm wearing the champion Babble crown,

Love you all, Pet XXX

[LilyJune]

Dear friends...

I am beginning to feel more grounded. The tears are not coming as often. I don't know what I would have done without your love, support and comfort. You know, the energy here in the coffee house is so loving and peaceful.Like a big warm blanket right out of the dryer. I had so many prompts coming at me I didn't know what to do; the stength here for all of us to pull each other up when needed, and talk and laugh the other times...what a special place with special people.

Laura, I've seen dragonflys everyday since my mom and dad passed. If it isn't a live one outside, it is one or more on tv with someone wearing a brooch or fabric, or in a magazine. There was never a connection or any meaning with my parents and dragonflys. We never mentioned it. But that morning after my mom passed. sitting on their front porch steps and staring; this dragonfly started doing circles around me. Coming straight at me almost hovering right in front of me. I knew it was my mom. Then 3 weeks later when my dad passed I was sitting on the front steps again, and here come two dragonflys straigt at me. Just making circles and flying back and forth. There was no doubt they were there for me.

Since that time I've had them fly into my window 39 floors up and land on the light right over the bed, landed on my friends hand, fly over my car on the freeway...so many unusual places where there should not be dragonflys. For them to come in my dream the other night and land on my hand, that was my sign.

gypsie, you started this coffee house without knowing where it would lead!
Look at what's happened! I thought of you yesterday and wondered what you were up to. Moves are so challenging,seeing your life in boxes. I hope it is a new start for you and you will soon get to those window boxes. What is you new place like...do you have neighbors? I'd love to hear about it...So sorry about your cutsand 'move-in' look!

Sandy, I hope you are behind that wheel! I would love to see a photo of you 'burning rubber' down the road!! What fun...Are you driving a stick to worry about as well? Hopefully an automatic so you can place all attention on driving on that other side of the road!

I wish you all a restful and beautiful weekend...and thank you for being with me.

Much love,
LilyJune

[reba]

Sandy, your landlord sounds like a hoot! Just put on a helmet and some gloves and get into the race! Tell George to hang on for dear life!

LilyJune, I have seen butterflys in abundance since my dad passed a couple of years ago. Sometimes I feel him with me in a strong way. I talk to him when I'm driving. It was strange that for a whole year I pushed his memory out of my mind and didn't grieve his loss. But when the grief came, it was like a tsunami.

Lilly, I'm a slave to my animals too! My dog, Neo wakes me up at 6AM to go out and as he goes out the cat, Monte, comes in to eat. But I'm pretty sure our dear friend, the Hamster Whisperer has us both beat!

Gypsie, praying that your move will be settled and you can breath a sigh of relief! Bless you!

Laura, big bear hug right back at ya!

Petra, your Thalia sounds very intuitive. I teared up a little to think of those animals wandering around.

Kim, hope to hear from you whenever Aleah allows you a little internet time!

Hello and love to all those who haven't posted here in a while!

Love,
Reba

[LilyJune]

I am just a 'chatty cathy' today...just went to the grocery store and in a span of 15 minutes had many thoughts. As I was driving, I was listening to a radio show presented by a lawyer.. but in a hilarious way! The last question I heard was from a woman asking about her liability if neighborhood kids fell while playing in her front yard tree. I though to myself; how awful to 'have' to think about that. Don't you remember growing up and playing in everyone's yard, front or back? Climbing on roofs, walls, playing in the streets...I wouldn't trade that for any amount of computer games.

Then to come home and read about Thalia and her animals. Doing what she knew was right despite the towns sticks and shouting. What an amazing girl! She has compassion and is brave enough to put it into action. How great to live in a place where the animals are roaming although the reason brought a tear. I hope you can take care of them in some way when the tourists leave. They would have a great home!!!

Anyway,then as I finished checking out at the store, I reached for my bags and looked at how much I had paid for a bag of cherries. $15.99 Granted they are beautiful deep dark red, but I can eat a bag of cherries in one sitting! Isn't it funny how I didn't notice it because I paid with a debit card? Such a disconnection between paying with a card, and paying with cash.I will eat these as if they're gold nuggets!

Then on my way home, a dragonfly flew right over me...all this in about 20 minutes! Oh..forgot to mention, two weeks ago I had .com and business names flowing at me so fast I started writing them down. I came up with about 60. So I registered a couple...dragonflykisses.net, dragonflywhisperer.com (like horse whisperer) and lululove.net. I don't know what I will do with them...maybe something will come to me.

Reba, butterflies are so beautiful and colorful, so dainty. Life changing experiences sometimes don't 'hit' right away. Sometimes you need your strength to get though it..then when it calms down, and God thinks you can handle it, you need to receive it. Plainly speaking..'it sucks'.

Oh... a 'chatty cathy' was a doll in the 50' 60's that when you pulled her string she just talked and talked..much to the dismay of parent's who gave their little girls that doll for Christmas!

I'm done. I promise. Love you all,

LilyJune

[gypsie]

Oh I am a sook so so sensitive I really have to toughen up, being a woman can be such an emotional rollercoaster Well I'm sure it can be the same for a man, it's just Harry can let go so such easier than I . Today I am off to start my palmistry cousre so a bit of space from this madhouse should be what the doctor ordered. I keep asking God to take my emotions as I really do get so stupidly paranoid and it can take the slightest incident to set it off. Maybe it's time to read the Mother thread again

Oh Sandy how special it will be to hug you in person, getting a drivers licence in Auz can be difficult, my neice has failed 3 times in the past 4 weeks....Well Done Sandy

Hi Gypsie,
I'm sending you a healing *hug* and much Love. Cleaning out a house when vacating is a real job because every little tiny spot has to be done.
Once you settle in at your new place things will be lovely. Beach down the road.....paradise. Hope your arm gets better quickly....
I had the best palmistry book years ago and lent it out to one of my son's friends and never saw it again......I still have a couple though. Hope you enjoy your course....and doing it with a real professional teacher too. Best way.
Haven't rung you as I've been a bit of a weight and didn't want to burden you....especially with your move and all. Been thinking of you though...take care now and don't over do things.....it will get done...
Love lilly xxxx

Hello everyone,
I was just thinking about your avatar photo of Parmahansa Yogananda Lilly,(love it!) and the conversation between you and LilyJune about the beautiful SRF service she attended. There were pictures of the SRF Encinitas location in my copy of autobiography of a Yogi. Granted the photos were from the fifties when Yogananda was still mortal, but what a beautiful place to meditate and speak with God. You all might enjoy this URL. Anne sent it to me a few weeks ago. It is a short film and footage of Yogananda speaking on specific topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vLN7MN6m-k

I can certainly understand your alls feeling of being surrounded by bossy animals. Try living with a willful parrot! I get up...brush my teeth start the coffee and then get to clean her cage and give her fresh food first thing in the morning or I hear about it. She is relentless and has a call that can be heard for miles I think...so to pacify her and not disturb the neighbors I give her whatever she wants...Not good I know... The good news is, she hasn't bitten me for awhile now...(I have cut back a bit on coffee and my reflexes are quicker I think.. )

Petra, I felt so bad for those homeless animals that were being shooed out of the village. I guess in this kind of situation maybe wild instincts would take over. Mules are naturally protective I think and built to kick out in all directions in case they or "the herd" is attacked. Your crew never cease to amaze me...they are naturals with animals and so patient with others who don't seem to "get it." They lead by example.

LillyJune, I remember those Chatty Cathy dolls! I had the "Cheerful Tearful Doll." she was a cute little doll who made a pouty face when you pulled down one of her arms and tears would flow from her eyes. Seems she could also wet her pants too. But I can't remember how that worked.

Hope your class goes well Gypsie. Can't wait to hear all about it... sounds like it is just what you needed to get out and away from the house and all the work for awhile.

Love to all of you and your animal friends,
XXX Sandy

LilyJune,
Reading back over some earlier posts of yours where you are talking about missing your parents.....I feel as if I skipped over it as if it was nothing...seemed very shallow on my part. Never really grieved about losing my own father, it went underground and feel very sorry for seeming uncaring. The thought of losing my Mum really upsets me too, so there it is. Didn't see it until tonight. Please accept my apology.
My grandaughter brought a dragonfly with her yesterday....it's a decorative hand made one......she dropped it in the backyard this morning and on seeing it ... I thought of you instantly. Maybe I was needing to type this tonight......
Godbless you for being so nice and I hope you are feeling better.
Love lilly xxx
