Fright or flight

I did fall cleansing this weekend along with hanging up the Halloween decorations. I placed a (window Sticky) skeleton sitting in a chair on the back door, and A giant spider (that drops) by the front door. I mentioned to my husband last night that I hoped the skeleton didn't scare the neighbors or anyone walking on the path.

Who knew, it would scare the crap out of me, several times today. Everytime I leave the room and come back it looks like there is someone standing at the back door looking in. After I regain my druthers, I laugh, and remind myself, it is only the Halloween decorations. It has been awhile since I have seen a full apparition, I usually see shadows, but sometimes after I do a cleansing, it stirs things up. So I put my big girl panties on and proceed with my day. To distract myself I turn on my MP3 player; I am listening to Pink's "So What" (which of course requires me to dance.) I head into my front room, pick-up my school workbook and paper, I come around the corner and see the blasted skeleton looking at my, I jump (literally); I than hear a crash, followed by a mechanical noise. I begin looking for the noise. It isn't the dishwasher, my lap top or the dryer. It stops, I wait, nothing. I began dancing again, as does the noise. (in my head I am asking myself "why are you looking, don't you always yell at the people in movies that going looking they are idiots?" I reasure myself that Pink is playing not some scary music so I am safe.) I head back to my front room just in time to see "A" giant spider crawling up the wall. I jump, causing the dang thing to drop. I stood there for a minute so the blood could drain back into my body.
I began asking myself, why do I hang this stuff up? Is it in spirit of the season, to scare the neighbors or myself. (I for one do not need any help in that department.) What ever the reason it sure does keep me on my toes.
I have now closed the blinds and shut off the spider. I am rather proud of the fact that I didn't run screaming down the hall or out of the house. I am also thankful that my "friends" have taught me to stop and see things for their truth. Needless to say, I have made a mental note not to do my fall cleansing the same time as putting up the "Halloween" decorations.

My question to you is what are you afraid of and why?

I believe in angels

Do you?

I have always believed in angels. When I was younger I wondered how they worked. My religious up bringing taught me that they were every where, but it didn't teach me how I could access them or benefit from interacting with them. Over the years, I have developed different ways to communicate with them and notice when they are around.
Just recently I went to "Arrival" a singing group that looks and sounds like "ABBA", (one of my favorite groups). A few days later my kids and I watched "Momma Mia", of course this encouraged an ABBA-a-thon (my poor husband). We had "ABBA" playing in every stereo, house, car and ipods. One of the songs got stuck in my head and I heard it over and over and over again. (As I am sure you have experienced). It sang me to sleep and than gently woke me up. I didn't mind as it is one of my favorite songs. Any how, while walking down the hall to put laundry away, I heard the song in my head in "STEREO", it was coming from my son's, daughter's and family rooms. This caused me to pause. While listening and singing along, a gentle breeze went past me and then chills ran through my body, I sat down to take note. I truly listened to the words and begin to cry. When the song was over, my daughter came out of her room, ran into me in the hall and stated "I can not get it to play the song over again, I push repeat and it says error, do you you think it has a scratch mommy?" I asked her what track it was on as I flipped it over to look for a scratch. She said "14", I flipped it back over, it said "tracks 1-12". The chills rushed over me again. I told my daughter to try the one in the family room. I sat there for quite a while just absorbing all the information and guidance I was receiving. One of the things I was guided to do was to share this experience with you and offer my services to help you learn how to communicate and connect with your angels.

Thank you Angels for your guidance and thank you friends for being you.

Marathon

Life is like a marathon, you take it at your own pace, meet people along the way, have rest stops to rejuvenate and then there is the wall that makes you face the truth about yourself. Where are you on your marathon?

Independance Day

We just celebrated Independence Day, better known as the 4th of July.
This year as I was thinking about how I wasn't celebrating, it hit me hard, how independent are we. I am not talking as a nation that would be a whole neither post. I am talking about how we live each day. Today is Monday, how many of us already have a "to do" list that we are not looking forward to doing, have any of you already agreed to accomplish way more than you should have? How many of us are carrying around guilt, fear, and anger for doing or not doing these things? How many of us will do things on our own, because no one will do it the way we want or how we think it should be done?

I ask again how Independent are we? If I ask for help does that mean I am not independent? If I rely on someone else to help me achieve my "to do" list, does that make me needy or weak?

I realized, for me Independence is having a full understanding of who I am. I haven't, nor will I be "assimilated".

What are your thoughts?

Dancing

I love to dance, my kids love to dance. I have just attached pictures of them dancing. Dancing is a great way to get rid of negative energy. Have you ever felt like you could punch someone in the nose, and knew that wasn't a good idea? I suggest dancing it off, I mean really can you truly stay mad or irritated when YMCA comes on? Better yet can you refuse the urge to stop what you are doing to do the YMCA when it is on? If so, I feel you should dance more, you are wound up to tight. My suggestion for the day is to down load a bunch of songs that make you move and name it, "songs to release frustration so you don't kill any one." It is a rule at our house that if the "Macarana, YMCA, or the Cha Cha Slide" comes on we all stop what we are doing and dance to it. Yes, that is a warning to any of you that are planning to visit my home. Have a funalicious day!

Paths vs Stages

Whew whooo. Is that how you spell it? Today is an awesome day my angels say that I will have blessings of abundance, I will be rewarded and that I should pause. I am hoping that the reward will be that my printer will finish printing off my Open House invites. How ever I will take what ever reward the angels give me.
I did have a epiphany last night as I was going to sleep. It began with the thought of "Grief stages". I have a client who's mother is not doing so well. So, I was reviewing the stages: Denial, Anger, Blame, Grief, than Acceptance. I believe there are more, but this is the list I was going through, when I went off on a tangent. Some believe that there are 7 paths we follow through life. I am one of them until last night. If we go through "stages" wouldn't it be 7 stages rather than paths, and now I have (with the help of my two best friends) discovered an 8th stage. I guess they are called paths as it is something we follow, where as stage could be considered stagnant. What are your thoughts?

Bail me out

Help, I am being put in jail to raise money for MD. Log on to https://www.joinmda.org/2009rivertonlockup/camille and bail me out.

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day.

Can you hear the song? Today is the day I am going to have a spring in my step, a smile in my heart and a song on my lips, no matter what the electrical stuff does.

Another day

Do you think that if I leave the room that my printer will print? I have been trying for the past 2 hours. Grrrrrrrrrr! Any suggestions?
