:D Hello Gypsie,

I seem to hear a lack of confidence in your self seeking new employment, so I wanted to send you this affirmation:
"I am totally open and receptive to a wonderful new position, one that uses all my talents and abilities, and allows me to express creatively in ways that are fulfilling to me. I work with and for people whom I love, and who love and respect me, in a wonderful location earning good money." by Louise L. Hay
put this on your mirror in the bathroom and say it everyday and believe in what you say. Also, its alright to ask in your AC for guidance regarding employment. I know you will be successful at whatever you decide to do but you are already a success.

:D Hi PP,

I did not see Jupiter and Saturn because my view was somewhat obstructed by trees. I wish that I would have been more informed that these planets could have been viewed. It appears that a gift was bestowed for you with cloudy skies up to the event :wink:.

Great progress in the AC now make sure and ask to hear and remember, so that you can journal it.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

Hi MML

yes it was awesome, when I saw the planets, I said to anne, I read something about those two stars, then it came to me what they were, planets not stars...

an awesome alignment...

just posting this back to you....(just being cheeky as gypsy puts it :lol: )

if you say this isn't up on your bathroom mirror,,,I'm phoning you...
I'm sure it is, after what we've been talking about...

I think you misread what I said about my meditation, because I wasn't in my AC.

I just wrote about my AC when I went to bed last but it doesn't belong here, so I'm moving it tto the AC thread...


should probably take a nap.....I feel tired.....no small wonder....

sorry I'm not my usual chipper self....

:D Hi PP,

I'm working on 3 other affirmations right now and it will be up there soon. I'm selecting 3 affirmations a day and posting them up in my bathroom. I'm not ready for this affirmation too much going on with taxes, my brother, dental work and you know the other problem. :roll: I just wanted Gypsie to have it since she's looking for work right now.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

I just posted this on the Black Cat thread, but thought I'd bring it here too,

This is Echo,

She is my last Samoyed and has just turned 12....

she's laying on the couch beside me, with her head across my lap...

she's really spoiled......but she looks just like her Mom,,,,,so she's allowed....

I've been taking all kinds of crazy pictures of her lately....the house is so warm, that when she naps, she finds the coolest place to be...one of them is to wrap her belly around the porcelain toilet....I haven't got that picture yet....but camera is handy...

love pp

Hi you lovlies

MML I wrote out your Louise Hay words said them aloud, closed my eyes and imagined everyone together and the phone rang :shock: :shock:

'Hello is that Deborah, I'm sorry the position has been fillilled internally but we would love you to join our company, can you wait 3 weeks until I find you a suitable position?' I was stunned MML I know the law of attraction is a really powerful thing but I don't think I have ever had it happen so fast :shock: (I feel a new thread coming on) so thank You for that!

You are a beautiful Angel MML so kind. I thought i have been raising this next group of kids (my twinnies) for 12 years I think I can wait a few weeks...

WOW PP you were blessed to see that, I did do my letter though. The last full lunar eclipse almost 8 years ago I decided I could drink again around that time, not a good idea( I think we have talked about it somewhere on the board).

Anyway, I had far too much to drink and it was so stunning as we were living in the country stars were falling I mean it was amazing. I kept going in and waking up hubby 1am, 1.15am 2.05am ect until he said "I don't care if ET knocks on the door don't wake me again" things were a bit difficult back then.

So as I drank away 1 moon turned into 2 until I had to close one eye to see straight. I saw around 6 falling stars at once all thogther. I thought it may have been the alcohol but Yasmin came home and she had watched it with friends.

PP, my darling I feel some sadness in your words? I will PM you later today we have 2 boys for a sleepover, it's very noisy. I loved your photo at 17, can you just post it on the thread? I couldn't stop looking at it, the specialness about you was clear at 17 :flower: pretty girl.

I think girls never stop being pretty, when I was a nurse (at 17) I would make sure all the very elderly women would get some girl fuss as I called it. I sat with many people at their moment of passing, I would wonder where their families were :( and just sit quietly holding their hands. Once I put a flower in a ladies hair and when her daugther arrived (around 4 am) she had flowers in her hand, she went in and cried then turned around and asked "how did you know frangi pannies were her favorite?" I said she'd told me but she hadn't, it really touched her daugther and I thought, Gosh there really are angels "thankyou God" I whispered in my mind.

But another time I was on shift with a cranky registered nurse and her sister, this lady was passing however she was aware and terrified. She kept pressing the bell, the sister would yell as we just sat in the staff room "leave it!" I said around 6 times "I'll go it's OK" and she would lunge forward holding my arm terror in her eyes, showing me she couldn't breath. I asked the nurse in charge if we could send her to the hospital and she laughed saying this was the last stop nursing home and to not be silly. Then the buzzer went again, I got up and she yelled "PULL IT OUT OF THE WALL NOW" so I went in and told her I was so sorry and pulled it out.

I'm crying now, I have carried that around for years and only shared it to a few because of shame. I just feel so bad and guilty about it but i was only 17 and didn't understand her rights or mine to think of it. See PP your photo was great, it stirred up something inside me (still crying).

Hard thing to let go of guilt isn't it? Maybe I'll write her a letter?

I love Echo, I just love dogs, now could he be having hot flushes like me? Poor baby I can't believe it's hot inside, the winter seems long there like the summer here. Better go I do love you all my special friends..

Gypsie :kiss:

Sweet Gypsie,,,
I'm crying now, I have carried that around for years and only shared it to a few because of shame. I just feel so bad and guilty about it but i was only 17 and didn't understand her rights or mine to think of it. See PP your photo was great, it stirred up something inside me (still crying).
Well now that I've stirred it up....and you've looked at it.....let it go....
Now, after such a long time,,,and a final release, you can look back and understand that you felt guilt and shame,,,not because you had to do something you were told to do,,,,but because you had the compassion in your heart and couldn't do anything about it........

Now send her a blessing,,,,and know that she's ok....because you know she is.....

now to Echo,,,,,he's a she,,,,and yes she has hot flashes I'm sure,,,,I find her at night wrapped around the bottom of the toilet,,,with her belly against the porcelain....(don't get any ideas,,,,they'd pack you off for sure)
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm trying to get a picture of her in that position.....and I haven't learned how to do that upload thingy either....
I was stunned MML I know the law of attraction is a really powerful thing but I don't think I have ever had it happen so fast (I feel a new thread coming on) so thank You for that
now for the Law of Attraction.........how awesome....
and we already have a thread for it......after I started the one on Ask and it Is Given, I also started one on the Law of Attraction....

but it really seems to be coming to the front with alot of us,,,,

that was so cool, now you have a 'new position' in 3 wks,,,,,better get the home front organized.....

I think my 'sadness' you felt, was because of what's NOT going on in my AC.....you know it's been like walking in a house and nobody's home....
and nobody comes home while I'm there either....

so I gave it up like Pet suggested, did stillnes instead, and had a conversation with Mother N,,,,,who said "It's all right, child".....but still nobody would come into my AC....

So the other night I was doing a special meditation with the Full Moon Eclipse,,,,,and at the end of it had 3 wonderful visions.....

and I thought, well,,,where's that at....

I discovered the reason......simple.....in my AC, I have 'expectations'
and what I need is "engaged indifference"....(just learned that today)...

so if I can apply it in the AC,,,,things may turn around...

love pp

:D Gypsie,
I'm so happy for you that you will have a position in 3 weeks, its wonderful because it gives you time to organize the home front for a career woman :cheers:

I'll be right behind you with that affirmation because I want to have a career myself. I've been growing stronger and I'm nearing the finish line as they might say.

:loves PP,
Echo is beautiful and I can see she brings you much pleasure and joy.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

Gypsie,
I'm really happy for you getting that job. The memory you had of your nursing days would have been awful. I am like you and would have been upset too. Many years ago I caused a massive scene when my then boyfriends mother was dying from cancer. She was in the hospital room howling and whimpering, it broke my heart and I literally saw 'red'. I was only about 22yrs then and I gave that doctor, who was arrogant, cold and unfeeling a right mouthful. He said her doctor wasn't there at that time to administer pain relief. I said one day that might be you in that bed and several other things I can't quite remember. It worked and within a matter of minutes her meds were administered. Things were different back then, they left people to suffer. Thank goodness that's changed. You know it took me many years to get over what was done to her, they were using her to perform operations on, making money when she was clearly terminal. Her husband was receiving accounts well after she had passed on from specialists who had walked in the room and given some opinion and then left them with the bill. I'll let that go now and God Bless all our wonderful surgeons and physicians who work so hard to help others.
Love to my dear friend Maisie, who fought so hard to stay alive.
Love lilly xxxxx

Thanks Memawlaura,,,

She is my last Sammy, we started breeding when her Mom was 2, and she only had 4 litters, Echo was from her last litter,,,,the last female, and oddly enough, she's the spitten image of her mom,,,,so it's like having Frosty back.......Frosty gave us 23 pups,,,,one of her daughters gave us 3, and we kept one of her grandsons, and a great grandson....it was like we had this huge family,,,,,and like all kids,,,,they leave home...you asked me why we didn't keep breeding.......it's like having kids, after a certain age, you don't want to do it anymore... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Out of the 26 pups that we raised, I only took 4 of them to their full Canadian Championships and oddly enough they were all the boys...and Frosty of course (Mom) (so that's 5) (I also showed 4 girls and they were pointed, but I never finished their championships because, people bought them, then didn't want to finish their championships...... all the rest, we found really good homes for and never had any come back......

except Echo......we placed her twice,,,and she kept escaping,,,,the second time she came home, I told her I'd never place her again, that she could stay,,,,and as you see, she knows exactly where she belongs...

with so many,,,,they had large runs outside,,,but at night they all went into kennels (crates) and slept in a trailer of their own,,,,,,,Frosty always stayed with us.......and a few others got house privileges.....as one left home, another would get to come in....and so on down the line,,,,and now we only have Echo.......whew!!!!!

so that's my story of our dogs......

when she's gone,,,,and after the cats go (and their 15 this summer),
I think Allan and I might do some late life travelling.........re-visit a few places we really liked....who knows may sell the homestead and become vagabonds (just like my early life),,,,,don't they say as you get older you want to act like your younger again....

I may have to re-think that one.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think I'll be too busy to uproot everything again.....and after all, we are quite comfortable,,,,and really love it where we are....

so I think that vagabond stuff is just a pipe dream....

Well, here it is, after midnight again.....Alice was over for the evening,,,we had a nice hot tub, and started reviewing some Quantum Touch techniques.....

I managed to let the stove go out, but it's a balmy 3C or 38F so I better go get it going for the night.....

see all you loverlies tomorrow...

Hey Gypsie-Gorgeous! I didn't read your post till this morning! Oh You!! How can you have blamed yourself? Funny that, what you wrote there. I was an old folk's nurse at 16-17 and there was a real hound of a nurse there who used to yell at me for caring for those dotty old ladies. "Don't get involved with them!" she'd shout and I'd completely ignore her and feign I didn't understand her as my German wasn't quite so great. (Liar! haha)
She was quite the bully with some of the patients, but not to a point where it was abuse. She got her come-uppance though. I had recently had an op and when I returned I handed her a note from my doctor telling her I couldn't do any strenuous lifting. So she promptly made me clean the dining hall and I had to lift 30 heavy oak chairs. I started bleeding so badly I fainted. When I returned once more she was gone. I felt a bit bad for about 5 minutes!

Gypsie, I do hope you're feeling good.

Petra xxx

Gypsie, you are such a beautiful, special lady.... just thought i would let you know... :)

I remember my sister used to work in an old age nursing home, i visited one day and was so horrified, i couldn't believe that these folks were not living in a real family home.... :( But anyway that is another story...

Take care all....


Big loves...

:D Good Morning All,

:sunny: I just wanted to let you know I'm very joyful today, I know my grandson, Gavin, is finally seeing his dad after a year. Bless him and his dad that they relish every moment they get to spend together.

PP,
Out of the 26 pups that we raised, I only took 4 of them to their full Canadian Championships and oddly enough they were all the boys...and Frosty of course (Mom) (so that's 5) (I also showed 4 girls and they were pointed, but I never finished their championships because, people bought them, then didn't want to finish their championships...... all the rest, we found really good homes for and never had any come back......

Its beautiful how animals know real love and you are very blessed. I miss having a dog and hopefully this will change in the future. I dont live where its possible so I will need to keep that in mind when I move again :roll:.


Pet and Gypsie,
I'm glad that you and Gypsie were there for those aging folks and I'm sure you both brought much sunshine to their life. Remember the good you both did not what you could not control, those meanie nurses :x .

Sarah,
It was so nice to hear from you today and your right we need to get back to the days when generations cared for each other. So much has been lost because this family unit disappeared. The aged have such special gifts to bestow to youth and it has a visa versa effect, it keeps one feeling needed and vital.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

good dayz ladies,,,
we need to get back to the days when generations cared for each other. So much has been lost because this family unit disappeared. The aged have such special gifts to bestow to youth and it has a visa versa effect, it keeps one feeling needed and vital.
Your so right MML our whole western culture, in all it's brightness is living in the dark ages.....The Chinese still take care of their elderly, they would no more think of shoving out ole gramma or grampa, and many other eastern cultures either.....so where did we go wrong....

I think the all mighty 'dollar' took over....after the wars,,,and depression, many, many had to find second jobs to take care of families,,,the elderly did still stay at home,,,,but slowly as that generation died off, the younger ones turned to making more $$$ to make up for what they never had, so their children would not suffer what they went through,,,,you would think the elderly would still have held a position, very valuable in the home, but it didn't go that way.....the younger, left home...and didn't want to go back,,,,and didn't want controlling parents with them....so they made enough $$$ to have someone else take care of them....a sad turn of events for sure....

I think in a few more generations things will turn again,,,,,as the older parents start leaving this world,,,,the younger generation is making headway in caring again (I hope)....

we truly are living in a time, where we are becoming more aware of our true 'selves' and realizing, our lives are just what we have created, and it is only us, that can either keep it the same way, or make great changes.

so yah hooo we are all marching forward with love and light in our hearts.....

and I'm playing cards tonight.....don't forget to 'play' at whatever, with whoever,,,,,at least once a day......keeps the Dr. away...

love pp

Well spoken and thank you , it feels lighter to forgive and let go of that experience, we can go through an entire lifetime remembering the cringie bits and forget the moments where the sun shone in an old person's life, if even for a moment.

One of those patients I grew to love and she taught me a song it went something like this:

She went to the fair to buy a blue ribbon to tie up her bonnie blonde hair

Bessie Harrison taught me that and I remember the day I was brushing her hair and she asked me "how old are you?" I said 16 and she said let me look at you. I got on my knees and she cupped my face, her eyes filled with tears and she started telling me wonderful stories about when she was 16. See how treasured I was to meet her,
HUGS for Bessie :cheers:

One of the boys is singing in a show today if I hear Tears in Heaven one more time :shock: it's all good it is such a beautiful day today, sun shining, cool wind blowing, lifes good.

Great to see you Sarah :hithere we do ramble on here, I'd love a coffee

better run havoc is desending love Gypsie

Hi All You Beauty-Beings, :hithere

Sweet Gypsie Deb, thanks for reminding us of little Stephanie in the 1111th post on this thread -- very appropriate for the 111th post! I've read through that thread and added in my prayers but haven't gotten around to posting there yet -- you are such a loving, giving soul! Not to mention dear Jack and all he has contributed to the amount of love and prayers Stephanie has received! :happy

PP was right a page or two back when she said we just breezed right by that post 1111, and we're way past that now (I think this is post 1140 already!). Even though it's a bit belated, I just had the urge to do something fun and colorful to commemorate this wonderful thread and all the times it's been read and posted to:

Image


Long Live the Not-So-Secret International Coffee House!


This thread rocks! Yay!
:sunflower: :bana: :colors: :compress: :roll :cheers: :thumright:


Anyway, back to our coffee-table talk!: Gypsie, I love your new avvie and that beautiful skirt/dress you're wearing! And that's wonderful to hear about your job-hunting success! Congratulations! -- I knew they'd love you there! :cheers:

I agree with what PP said about your memory of being a nurse at age 17 -- it's completely okay to just let it go now -- you are such a compassionate person! And where she is now, she is free of fear and suffering, feeling only joy and appreciation, and she can feel the trueness of your heart, and I'm sure she understands! You and Pet both, you touched so many lives in such a positive way at an early age -- true lightworkers from the beginning! As Sarah and others have said, I do agree, our culture certainly doesn't revere and respect our elders like we should, and it's pretty tough when you're so young, working in an environment like that, being so pressured by the people in charge not to follow your dear sweet heart.


Lilly, I love the infectious childhood joy in your memories of your pony! How funny that he would actually lie down and wriggle under the fence -- it never occurred to me that horses could do such a thing! :shock: :D

I saw your avvie of yourself at one point - Great to see you, even if only briefly! And then for a while there was someone else's picture in your avvie, with red hair? Was that your friend Maizie who you wrote about? By the way, that's an inspiring story about you bravely speaking your truth to that arrogant doctor and convincing him to give her the meds! :D

By the way, is the lovely fairie in your current avvie a drawing of yours? -- it's a great avvie as well (though we'd all love the chance to see a photo of you again, if you should happen to feel so inclined! :D) .

Oh yes, since you're using your new teapot and offering tea, I'll have something with cinnamon in it, thanks! :D

Laura, thanks for your encouragement on my art! :D I've been meaning to mention this for a while, just haven't gotten around to it until now, but as Kim and others have said, you really have been growing spiritually and healing a lot lately -- the process has been evident on this and other threads, and, like so many others' processes here (once again, you all know who you are! :happy :D), it has been wonderful and inspiring to watch! :thumright: :thumright::thumright:

That's great that your grandson Gavin gets to see his dad after a year! Hurray! :cheers:

Taxes, yes, me too, I've been putting it off :roll:, but I'm going to have to finally sit down this week and concentrate and get started on them!

Kim, so far the situation at the Gallery seems to be needing to get worse before it gets better! :roll: We had our monthly meeting again the night before last, and it was unbelievable -- even more chaotic than usual, with people dividing up into factions and ganging up on each other, and lots of shouting -- one guy even stormed out in a huff! :shock: -- as we get to know everyone better, it's becoming more and more clear that there are several very gifted but also very wounded folks in this group -- I could say more, but for now, I'll just note the many opportunities for growth and healing that the situation presents! :roll: :D :lol:

PP, I loved that lovely avvie you put up briefly of yourself at 17! I also look forward to seeing the orb photos you mentioned -- I think AJ's thread on orbs from a while back happened to have several orb photos in it, but I haven't yet seen a thread for orb photos specifically -- hmm, you just might need to start one! :D

No, unfortunately, I didn't get to see the eclipse and the planets because it was cloudy and raining here! :roll: But I'm glad you and Laura both got to see it -- sounds like it was wonderful! :colors:

I'm really glad to hear of your breakthrough with meditation! It sounds like the common situation Abraham describes (which I know you're already familiar with as the founder of the Ask and it is Given threads, but if you're like me, a little repetition never hurts :lol:): It sounds like you've been putting forth a strong desire into the Universe to "succeed" in your meditations ("what you do want"), which was just waiting there for you in your "vibrational escrow" to manifest as soon as you could get into vibrational alignment with it, but before this point, you were probably simultaneously focused on your discouragement regarding the AC ("what you don't want"), so you were experiencing split energy, the two vibes were cancelling each other out, which is probably why nothing was happening. But then, when you did a different meditation, without the "AC frustration" associations, there was no longer any resistance there to keep your success from manifesting quickly and easily. I think you're right -- having no expectations sounds like a great approach -- and I'll bet when the time is right, you'll be having the same kind of experiences in your AC as well! :D

Thanks for all the nutrition info, and it sounds like your networking progress for Tranquility Base (Laura does have a point about the abbreviation, so I'll just write the whole name out too! :lol:) is progressing nicely!

Wow, Echo is a beautiful dog (I saw her in the avvie you put up briefly yesterday) -- I love the story of her wrapping herself around the toilet to keep cool and help her hot flashes! :lol: As with Lilly's pony and those goats, the unexpected and inventive things animals do to solve their problems are wonderful! :roll I enjoyed hearing about all your Samoyeds too!

I'm glad to hear that Allan finally gets some vacation time -- enjoy it! And enjoy your card night tonight as well! :D

StarStruck, nice to meet you! It looks like you've been an old friend on these boards for years already, since long before I came along, but welcome to this gigantic thread! :hithere

Jill, good to hear that you and all the animals are fine, and I hope you and your students have been enjoying great success in your Science Olympiad today! You'll have to let us know how it went! :D

Okay, okay, time to put that talking stick down and go get some other things done! :roll: :lol:

Love you all :love,

Aqua Deb

Hi Aqau Deb,
You are such a nice person, that other picture was also me about five years ago. I looked like one of those Dynasty ladies. Lol Wasn't happy with how it turned out. I look hard and old in that one. Joan Collins.........haha
You know a lot of artists can be very strange......sensitive folk. It's a shame when arguments start up and discord. One of my friends does excellent portraits and animals. I love her work and she loves mine, yet we are opposites. My work is abstract and sometimes quite revealing about future events. My mother has one in her loungeroom and she delights in the figures which appear in it.
Have a great day. Love lilly xxx

Oh good afternoon Aqualeaf and to all of us chatting and viewing.....I'll try a shortened version of Debs salutations...
Gypsie ,,,Lilly,,,Memawlaura,,,Pet,,, Heather,,,Kim,,,Sarah,,, Jill,,, Michelle ,,,,and StarStruck too!!! and pulling the circle together,,,
our dearest SANDY

We need more colours... yellow, cyan and orange are too hard to see...

This is difficult not to leave anyone out you know....so if I have, just give me an....."insert my name too (or else)" and I'll get right on it :lol: :lol:

Now here's how lazy I am....I just copied the above,,,including all the bracketed colour thingys. saved it on word.....then pasted it back on here and looked at the preview, and it works.... hee hee hee....

so you'll see more of those salutations, with additions (I hope I remember to update it...)

so, now, working backwards,,,,
Hey Lilly,,,,wonder if you could post some of your artwork???? I'm sure we wouldn't mind taking a peek,,,,if you wouldn't mind....we know you're shy,,,,but,,,,so is Aqaualeaf,,,and she's stepping out....and since A/Deb mentioned it, I wouldn't mind some tea too,,,,but make mine chai please...I too love that hint of cinnamon,,,,and cardoman....and it would be fine in the green tea - I think.....I'll try it here and see too....

someday I'll get one of those web/cams.....then we can talk in real time...Gypsie has one I think too.....Oh gosh, that means I'll have to learn some new technology.....poor Allan,,,,,since he'll have to teach me, :lol:

Aqualeaf, would you mind posting that link again, where we can go see your artwork????

By the By Folks.....I commissioned Aqualeaf to do a painting/power shield of my Owl, I sent her the picture, she did it,,,,and I now have it.....I got her to do it for an anniversary present for me and Allan.....(It's 25 yrs on Mar 5th) amazing.....I never had a relationship that lasted to the 2 yr mark until I met Allan....

Anyway, it's absolutely gorgeous,,,,,it's so sweet, the owl has a real soulful look in it's/her/his eyes....after our anniversary, when it's hung, I will try to send a picture of it....

Thanks again Aqualeaf Deb,,,,,your 1111 poster here was great,,,,I"m not going to even ask how you did it.....you're obviously well versed in this computer 'stuff'.....I'm just happy to be able to type on it :lol: :lol: :lol:

Taxes!!!!! is it that time already????,,,,stuff's coming in, but I file it away until I know it's all here....sometimes we don't get bank forms until the last darned second....I sure hope they've taken enough off last year...I hate having to give them another thousand dollars or whatever....

Now this year, I'm going to have to remember to really save those receipts for Tranquility Base....and claim it next year....that'll be a beep-beep, having to 'save' my own tax money...yuk...

An orb thread to post pictures... :lol: :lol: that's technology. :lol: :lol:
I got pictures of the eclips too,,,but,,, :lol: :lol: :lol:
I can't use the photobucket properly... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks A/Deb
It sounds like you've been putting forth a strong desire into the Universe to "succeed" in your meditations ("what you do want"), which was just waiting there for you in your "vibrational escrow" to manifest as soon as you could get into vibrational alignment with it, but before this point, you were probably simultaneously focused on your discouragement regarding the AC ("what you don't want"), so you were experiencing split energy, the two vibes were cancelling each other out, which is probably why nothing was happening.


I did need to hear that.....I certainly wasn't thinking it for myself,,,,a refresher is 'often' needed.....

But to let everyone know,,,,I have finally had 'success', with mending an old relationship.....I really explained it out to Gypsie Deb in a pm once...
describing how a friend and I had a falling out,,,,,,,how I was holding on to it,,,,,in hopes,,,,, then finally had to 'let it go'....we still see each other and talk,,,,,communications lines had been opening up,,,,but it still wasn't 'there'.....(and it's one of the ladies I play cards with), not only that, but she was one of the founding members of Tranquility Base....

so it really felt like a great loss.....meanwhile, she's still been doing her 'work' on herself.....she's a member here, but only reads the List Ops, and sometimes reads the mb..... she's been meditating.....and last night at cards, I told her about the on line course of Echhart Tolle's.....she phoned today, and we must have talked for more than an hour.....

during the conversation, I said, well, I don't know how you feel, but in my heart and head, you're still a founding member of Tranquility Base....and she said, I feel it too,,,,,I just had to work out alot of stuff....

So we will start working together again....at first, just as she can manage it,,,,but we'll hone up our healing skills together,,,,and review all the CD's and stuff we went through....she's ready to 'go' again.....

a BIG prayer of thanks went up for that!!!!!

so after that.....I'm passing on the stick....

loves to all,
pp xoxoxoxox

Hi pp,
I had a falling out with a life long friend and we didn't speak for 3 years. One day we walked smack bang into one another, our friendship is better than ever. True friendships never end, they sometimes take a few winding roads which lead back to each others door.
Love lilly xxx :roll:

:D Hello everyone,

Friendships like any relationship have their ups and downs but can endure. If they do not endure than they were not meant for this time in your life. I know that we on this magnificent thread will always be kindred spirits and it has definitely been my pleasure knowing each and everyone of you.
Love and Peace Always,
Memawlaura

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
