Hi All You Beautiful People!
It's great to be joining in on this thread again! After a long few weeks of multiple trips back and forth between Mendocino and Monte Rio, we are now officially completely moved out of the old place and largely moved in to the new place (there are still a few boxes lying about, but most of the commonly-used stuff is now in place)! Hurray! We are both exhausted, and I'm still getting over a cold and cough that I've had for about two and a half weeks now, the first cold I've gotten in about three years
! So we'll probably need to rest up for a couple of weeks now in order to get back in balance, but it's great to have this move completed!
We got our Internet service hooked up here about a week ago, and I've been checking in and following along on this thread whenever I can, but have only just today really had enough time to sit down at any length! I've enjoyed all the talk about pole dancing, the weather, positive thinking, Isabella and all her sevens, and everything else!
All of you are such special, sensitive, intuitive, gifted beings! This is a great group of souls to commune with!
We're enjoying the extra connectedness to nature that this new place gives us
. We keep looking out from the back deck with our binoculars to watch long-legged white crane-like birds wading in the river, and a mother doe and her two baby fawns nibbling the water plants at the river's edge. A pair of yellow birds of some sort has even build a nest under the eaves of our front porch. This is one of the first days I've stopped being hyper-busy long enough to remind myself again just how cool this new setting is!
Speaking of rainy weather, this place is apparently known for flooding to varying degrees in the winter
. Hopefully, since we're up on a hill overlooking the river, rather than right on its banks, we won't be as prone to flooding as some of the town. At the very least, it should be an interesting adventure to live here year round and see what happens!
Mo, thanks for the link to that Perelandra website. I had heard about her books before, and they sounded interesting but I never got around to reading them, so it's a synchronicity that I'm hearing about it again now too -- it may be a sign!
Memawlaura, I think I know the book you mentioned; is it "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise L. Hay? I worked with that book intensively several years ago and grew a lot as a result. It's one of my all-time favorites.
I also enjoyed the Optimist's Creed you sent in,
Bing. As I was reading it, I could feel it raising my vibrational energy. I think I'll print it out and keep it next to my computer, since the repetition of reading positive words over again and again really seems to help! With this move and being so busy, we've sort of gotten out of our habit of watching Abraham DVD's and such, and I've several times caught myself thinking negative thoughts and focusing on what I don't want (like you mentioned,
Sandy; I know what you mean)! Now that we've made a leap to this wonderful new environment, I feel the urge to take advantage of the momentum of this "wave of change" and delve into the Abraham processes and use positive affirmations more, in order to make a corresponding leap in consciousness to match! I used to repeat affirmations years ago with highly positive results, but for some reason, haven't done much of that in the past several years. I also wish to get back to the AC meditation, which has fallen by the wayside in the past few months as well.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll get back to all of it in Divine right timing.
I'm tired, and am beginning to think that maybe it's time to go take a nap before dinner!
(note the use of smilies from the website you recommended,
Pet -- you're right, there are some good ones there!) I rarely let myself lie down and take naps or meditate in the middle of the day (though I'm sure it's precisely the thing that would be best for me!
), but it seems lately that any time I sit or lie down for even a few minutes lately, I fall asleep anyway
, so I must need it!
Love and Blessings to All of You
