Good Morning Ladies,,,, (well it was when I started this on the 14th,,,now it's 1 am on the 15th...
Whew !!!! I had to go back 3 pages to find where I had read lately,,,,for some reason I haven’t been getting the Secret notifications,,,,I probably deleted the last one thinking I had popped in and at least read it,,,,,so I had to find my last post – 6 days ago,,,,and now I’m trying to piece it together…..
We had a 3 day meet and greet/networking event at the ‘academy’,,,,it was awesome,,,,I did a lot of Ion Wave foot/body detox treatments….but I think what went over best for me,,,was the cream and ointment that I had made…..one lady had severe cracks in her heels,,,and I gave her some ointment and cream and told her what to do,,,,which she did,,,,and when she came in the next day,,,her feet were healed….(personally I think it was the Archangel Raphael energy I asked to be infused into the cream)…
We traded treatments with each other,,,and bought some of each others creative inspirations (including my cream and ointments),,,,,I came home with a DVD Guided Meditation for hypnotherapy,,,two pieces of artwork,,,,had a treatment in matrix energetic,,,,and have a couple owed to me, since I didn’t have the time to collect as I was doing the ion treatments…
We have an awesome group of healers of many modalities,,,,herbalists,,,,hypnotherapists, artists,,,lots of creativity….it seems to be a good growing group….(and praise the Lord for that) the ones who have not been on the ‘up and up’,,,have been weeded out…..they left on their own,,,or were asked to leave,,,believe me,,,,one can’t be in that group with a hidden agenda….
,,,I’m trying to get caught up from Aug 6th,,,,so I’m going to try to practice an AquaDeb format…
Cheese scones I offered??? Wonder if there’s any left,,,it’s lunch time now (for me),,,so I’ll serve up a fresh batch….so glad you’re all enjoying them….
Sandy…..
I got a good recipe from a cooking site that Bing gave me a while back called Welsh cheese and herb scones.
Hows about sharing that recipe……I would love to try it… Oh,,,scones and cheesecake,,,,well that’s a good balanced diet,,,for sure,,, scones and cheese for the lunch part and the cheesecake for dessert…sounds good to me….
We’re back into the HOT weather,,,,,funny to think of you folks down under in winter,,,,and I did hear not too long ago that Sydney actually had some ‘snow’…
.....hope you all enjoyed it….(I’m not looking forward to it)….it’s so typical for the rest of Canada and most of the US to get buried in it…..but where I live it used to be just a lot of ‘rain’ with intermittent snow that would get rained off either with that same day,,,or very shortly after……but looking at my winter snow pictures is telling me a different story…So for now, I’ll enjoy the HEAT…..
A belated
CONGRATULATIONS Sandy, for finally getting your paperwork and receiving your Aussie drivers license…too cool….and to get the 5 yr one too,,,,see,,,as you said,,,,sometimes those ‘delays’ are for our benefit,,,,mine expires in 2012,,,,hmmmmmmm
It’s like riding a bike (except for being on the wrong side of the road),,,,it’ll come back in no time,,,,just keep breathing,,,
Oh yes,,,and besides looking in your rear view mirror,,,,,
ALWAYS look over your shoulders,,,,,since all vehicles have a blind spot when you only use your mirrors….looking over your shoulders is a
MUST, you just don’t see those other vehicles that are in that certain spot….and you can’t see them in the mirror…..Personal ‘close’ calls attest to that fact !!!
I’m trying to get my pictures uploaded to a site called Picassa so I can send links to the albums,,,,but really I haven’t had time…..guess my priorities get a bit out of whack occaisionally…
And you want to talk about ‘over packing’ ???? You should have seen my vehicle when we went to Golden
,,,,funny thing we came back with …..was food…..we took way too much,,,,,we probably had enough for 2 weeks,,,not 5 days…and that’s something I never took a picture of,,,,was an absolutely ‘stuffed’ tracker…….we truly were sardines in a can…
Lilly and Sandy,,, I hope both you ladies get your mould problems sorted…..there’s nothing worse on your health,,,especially in the winter…..and I’ve heard it’s darned hard to get rid of…. I feel retardant is just that,,,,it retards it,,,,doesn’t stop it,,,or really kill it……sometimes it does take a complete rip out….
Thank you for the Yogananda link,,,,,I’m listening to it now….and hearing his words of advice just before he left this world,,,
“Read a little, meditate more,,,think of God all the time….Don’t bother yourselves with what others do or don’t do, don’t look back,,look straight ahead,,,and go all the way…in this incarnation and you can…”
,,,,
So now I have to go listen to some more….
Gee, I made it to page 82….
Pet,,,,,are you sure Phil’s name isn’t really Allan ????,,,,,I think it’s a ‘man thing’……(but when they do it,,,,,well,,,,how much can you throw back…..not too much…..they don’t like to be reminded that they just about went off the road,,,,or hit a pot hole) all I have to do now is a sharp intake of breath and he hits the brakes then hollers at me,,,,I wish you wouldn’t do that…..well really, what’s left to do if I can’t holler at him,,,,
I love your new avi,,,,,,
I think you have the right idea about hitching up those donkeys or horses,,,,I can see you on a cart going to market now….and honestly,,,I’m just a tad envious,,,,I’d love to be where you are now…..one day you’re going to look back on those days in Corsica and probably wish you were still there,,,,so really enjoy them…I hope you’re journaling like crazy….
I loved hearing about the girls and the donkeys,,,,kids are just soooo in tune....and obviously so are the donkeys....they know a good thing when they see it....I'm having a feeling you'll soon be seeing those donkeys in your yard,,,hanging about.....waiting for your girls....Bless Thalia's heart, and of course the others too,,,,not meaning to leave them out...
(sorry, but I’m taking the babbling crown from you – for today only…I promise)
Lily/June,,,,,,,Thanks so much for thinking of me often,,,,I’ve been MIA quite abit myself…….sometimes I even have to make a choice,,,,,do I peruse the board or just go to the Secret Thread….so sometimes,,,,it ‘s one or the other…….today seems to be my Secret day….I’ve already got some chores done,,,,recycle taken down to the end of the driveway,,,,even washed the car….
My email is off-line
,,,,and that’s just about choking me up….so my friend is reading me all the info coming in about the Lunar Eclipse coming this weekend…..
And just for a hint for everyone…..the most I got out of it was that it’s a high emotional time,,,and the best advice I got out of it, was to keep grounded and do deep breathing…….the ‘waves’ of energy coming in and have been,,,,,are just about shaking everybody up,,,and out of their comfort zones……
So my favourite affirmation is…..keep deep breathing and go with the flow……resist nothing…as it only makes it harder……and who wants any harder than it can be…….difficult times at hand,,,,,keep centered everyone and keep breathing your way through any difficulty…..it does help…
I am so with you on the spider issue
,,,,,it take several deep breaths to move through that one….before ‘it’ gets removed….however...
Hmmmm sunny southern California hanging in at around 70,,,,,sounds good to me…..here we are in late summer,,,and I’ve seen the temp go down do 6 lousy degrees at night…..not fair,,,,and not warm,,,,at all….(I am not impressed with our weather this year)
I hope you’re coming out of your sorrowful moments ,,,,I know it’s difficult,,,as all of us do who have had to say good-bye to loved ones,,,,,as time goes on,,,,it does get easier,,,,,after all,,,,they too still are journeying…..but they will stay with you I think,,,until they know that you’re really ok…..and you’ll know in your heart that they’re only a ‘beat’ away,,,,and we will get to see them again…..I don’t think they would want you to be in such pain,,,,,be strong and carry on the way you know they would want you too,,,,I don’t miss my Mom’s voice anymore,,,,cuz I hear it at the strangest times…..we just learn to communicate with them in a different way,,,,than when they were here…..yes I agree….I too miss those physical hugs,,,,,but I think that’s what good memories are for…..a warm fuzzy feeling….
That was a lovely suggestion of Sandy’s to write them a letter,,,,writing is such a release…. And I loved hearing your story of your dream of dragonflys….(I know you don't really think they're your Mum and Dad), but I'll bet they sent them as a totem for you....
The night you dreamed,,,,I also dreamed of my mom,,,,only I think it was a really weird one…..she was laying on a ???something??? all wrapped up in what the old timers would call their winding sheets,,,,she was not alive,,,me and 3 others were standing there looking at her…..when she lifted her head and started yawning….I remember thinking,,,well,,why not,,,she’s not dead,,,,really,,,,(I never thought to wonder where I was to think this was a normal type thing to happen)…
anyway I went around to the other side of her and looked into her eyes…..which disappeared into big pools sort of like an ocean,,,and there were people there,,,,,by this time my mom had disappeared and all I could see was these people,,,,mostly just faces…..
Then I think my dog woke me up for an ‘outside’ trip….and I went back to bed and dreamed of her again,,,,so make a long story short,,,,we were singing together,,,,sort of like old musicals,,,,I remember singing something about we’re all going to “Eden”….
The next day was the first day of our member’s meet and greet,,,and I told Karen about it while I was doing her feet,,,,she said that my Mom was helping me and bringing people to me….although she never said anything about the singing part….I thought that was rather great….
It’s probably another reason why I don’t mourn her physically anymore,,,,cuz I see her quite often in dreams,,,,and I always say,,,dreams are not just a figment of your imagination….(IMO)
As I was reading along in my Secret catch up,,,I saw Memaw’s inquiry on what a dragon fly means,,,so I looked it up and something stuck out to me,,,so here it is….
To begin with dragonflies have a 2 yr cycle,,,,so it can indicate that an approximate two-year period of change is about to reach its culmination,,,or it may reflect that you are coming into a 2 yr period of transformation….It may even reflect a need to institute changes that may culminate in the colourful transformations you desire within a two year period….Only by examining your life and activities will you begin to understand its specific role.
Did you know (I didn’t),,,that they have been around for 180 million years
???? (So it says in the book….),,,and that they inhabit two realms,,,,air and water….
So the last good bit of info was…Spending some time outside in the sun near fresh water sources will be beneficial for restoring and changing health conditions for the better…..
(there is a lot more,,,,but I’d be typing pages,,,, the above info is from a book called “Animal Speak” by Ted Andrews…
Your site names sound great and I love the one you chose…..isn’t it great when something really strikes a chord and you know it’s just right????
HIYA Kim,,,,,,long time no see,,,,and yes the cat’s been doing a lot of jumping around on that hot tin roof….but it seems to come in spurts….I do have down time,,,,when I can’t even type…..
After our meet and greet weekend I brought my stuff home Monday,,,,left it in the foyer,,,,,and went to bed….no kidding!!!! And except for getting up for washroom visits and doggie washroom visits,,,I never really got up until Tuesday……then Wed it started all over again…..
I had to make a quick trip up to Nanaimo to get some more containers for my oils and creams,,,,then went to our first practioners ‘healing night’,,,,which was really excellent and now I’m in the throes of getting my house back in order….the really exciting stuff you know,,,like vacuuming…….ok enuf of that….
Losing things,,,,oh yeah,,,,apparently one day I managed to misplace all the jewelry I was wearing,,,,,and I had neatly hung up a dress and jacket,,,,and for some reason put all that jewelry in the pockets,,,,since I’d wear it the next time I wore that dress and jacket……what a dumb thing to do
….for about 4 or 5 days,,,I’m looking for my rings,,,,a rutilated quartz,,,a purple sapphire,,,an opal and a lapis……well I finally went to wear the jacket,,,,,and found it all…….that was a relief….but I still haven’t found my special sweat dress that I made,,,,,or my pouch with specific stones in it….
Those are really being hidden on me (by me no doubt),,,but I’ve done so much moving stuff around and ‘getting rid’ of the old,,,,that things have ‘shifted’ from their ususal places,,,,and that can be irritating….to say the least…….I have two rolls of Velcro,,,,,which I need….now….and do you think I can find it !!!!
Now I’m moving more stuff around to accommodate all these bottles and containers,,,,,so I might come across some more ‘misplaced’ items…
Oh, I forgot I had laundry in…..back in a flash or two….
Well, ,,,it was three or four,,,
Fold the laundry and the next thing I end up in the kitchen,,,,cleaning up my waxed up utensils and pots,,,,straining the honey and I’ll probably have about 3 litres,,,,which still needs a final cooking and straining,,,then I can bottle it,,,stick it in the fridge and enjoy honey all winter long…….I have to admit,,,it’s quite satisfying…….and being quite creative at the same time…..lovely….
Hi Lilly,,,,,,crooked trolleys,,,,yes, or the wheels stick,,,,we call them carts…..and if you’re going too fast (who me???
) and a wheel jams then you’re almost in the basket with your goods……I test them first now,,,,ok,,,take that one back,,,I refuse to fight with a cart the whole time I’m there……shoppings supposed to be a good experience,
Oh I wish I could drink your mint and lavender tea,,,,,substitute a bit of rosemary for me,,,,,lavender chokes me up
….
Dearest Gypsie,,,
If you’re having a hard time finding storage,,,,then it’s a good excuse to look at stuff and say,,,,do I really need this??? And recycle it….I’ve been slowly doing it for months with the boxes that “I just couldn’t part with’,,,,STUFF……I finally got to the point where I realized if I haven’t looked in that box and I haven’t used it then just perhaps I really don’t need it…. (and I won’t tell you how long I’ve been hanging on to it…..STUFF
…..
Moving is a hard process,,,,everything gets ‘misplaced’,,,,mainly cuz you can’t find a place for it,,,,but you NEED it….I could kick myself around the block for not building in more cupboards
,,,,,and I was the one here while it was being built….at least you can blame your lack of space on someone else……me I just sit and look at my boxes….
I did one huge clean out about 3 weeks ago though,,,,,and including my Mom’s clothes (that I just couldn’t get rid of),,,,and cleared out 9 huge plastic bags,.,,,,,then last week,,,just before Allan went to work,,,,we did his closet……….strange,,,,but there wasn’t half the amount of STUFF that I had….
Hang in there dear one,,,,,this too shall pass,,,,,things will sort out,,,,,and peace will reign once more,,,,oooops,,
,,I forgot you have twins…..and how are those lovely boys doing anyway…..haven’t heard much of your young movie stars antics lately….and probably just because you’ve been snowed under with the move…..it’ll be done soon….after all…..X-mas is coming……only 4 months and 4 days…..
And as Pet mentioned,,,,,you haven’t gone through anything until you’ve experienced a ‘military move’,,,,with the inspectors,,,yes,,I remember it well,,,,and never again…..the inspector came in,,,,went to my stove,,,,looked at something and said, if you’re that thorough I don’t have to look at anything else….and passed us and walked out….I could have screamed,,,,hey come back here and finish the inspection
…..then we bought a house,,,,,no inspection was done there,,,,,almost made me want to go back to military housing….no just kidding….
I hope you’re enjoying your palmistry course,,,,I’ve seen the lines in my hands change over the years,,,,strange…
Sending you loving energy,,,,I think of you often
Reba,,,,,,nice to see your posts,,,,sorry I haven’t said HI in awhile,,,,,big hugs to you….
Oh great Ladies,,,,you won’t have to put up with much more,,,,I finally made it to the last page…..
And news from
AQUA DEB,,,,,Oh I bet you’re glad you’ve got your move done with….and super enjoying your new town…
Your avi looks like you’re really enjoying yourself….excellent news….I think the henna without bleaching it would be great,,,especially a lot easier on your hair,,,and probably would look ‘just smashing’,,,,give it a try…
And a belated
Happy Birthday to Ron too,,,,,8 8 8 huh !!! whew !!! look out for this weekend too,,,,a lot of emotion stuff to come up,,,still,,, or I should have just said ‘more’……so be prepared,,,,more clearing,,,,more letting go,,,,keep grounded and deep breathing…. This is becoming more of the norm of late,,,,and I hear it isn’t letting up
….
This is where all the ‘Secret’ and Ask stuff comes in…..keep positive,,,and create what you want,,,not what you don’t want…
Just want to let you all know that mentioned here about Laura,,,all your posts were on the day that she and her sister drove down to where her brother is…..So I know all your loving thoughts have reached her….
I should be talking to her soon,,,,and will send her all your love….
Guess what,,,,I made it to the end of page 83…..and I can hear those sighs of relief…..
Ok…supper’s on me…..I’ve got the Iron Chefs of America standing in the background ready to whip you all up some serious delights…….I’ll ask for ‘chocolate’ to be the secret ingredient….
I don’t know if I dare to make the promise that I won’t let another week go by before I write again….so much happening all the time…
Hubby has just come home for 4 days,,,,,wonder what I can get him to do….
Love and light and many many blessings to everyone who had the fortitude to wade through this post,,,,of course to everyone else too…
pp…
, 
I remember the donkey rides on Blackpool beach...loved their big soft ears...gentle creatures they are. Glad you're all getting settled in your new place. 
Ok, I got all that out of a bumble bee 
How fun to see the countryside and relax..no driving! Last week I was looking at the train schedule from here to Seattle Washington with a sleeper car. Oh that sounds like fun...Can't wait to hear of your adventure...and I hope your visit with George is inspiring.
Maybe after you stir a bit you'll be grounded again. I often wake up feeling out of sorts...we're thinking too much in our dreams??
it took ages as I carefully said hello, thank you and my prayers are here..
I need Batman..... Lol Him and Robin can come and help clean up the yard.....
