Yet more shootings in the US. Geez, I am stunned. NOT!!!

What I am, however, is more convinced that it might just be feasible to assume that some day I, or someone I love, might get blown to bits during yet another gruesome tragedy. My husband is a professor, and my sister-in-law a teacher. They are both in the perfect setting to die in front of the barrel of an automatic weapon. Even though we are in Indianapolis, it still could come to pass.

I could either wring my hands and worry my pretty blond locks (thank you, Salon Orange Moon for the coif), filling my being with the poison of fear, or I can handle the situation from the perspective of Love.

I choose Love.  Continue reading “Violence and guns: The Choice Between Love and Fear” →

An Oldie but a Goody…..found this lounging about in my computer. I felt this was an appropriate time to share because the holidays are certainly considered Turdy Times by some. Try some of the suggestions included, and see if you can transform Turdy into Treasure.

2011 began in the usual manner. Tomfoolery with friends and darling spousal unit at the White Rabbit in Fountain Square, laughing till I thought my gut would bust at Burlesque Bingo–Pabst Blue Ribbon at midnight was just divine! Pffft…a jolly good time was had by all.

Oh my. The world is just a sucking a big one right now, isn’t it? Or it seems that way. Lotsa wound up, mean and hateful humans making a mess of innocent people’s lives. It is happening more and more in my own neighborhood too. Earlier in the summer,on the street behind our apartments,  a man was gunned down as he entered his car at 7:30 or so in the morning to go to work. Two young men were having it out with each other, and accidentally nailed him with a bullet instead. The young, pregnant wife of a pastor was sexually assaulted and shot in the head around 8:30 am a week or so ago. She leaves behind a grieving, confused husband and 2 year old son. They live only about 10 minutes from us.

Violence and venom from around the world and in my own backyard has left my heart feeling sore, sad, and beaten up. I can’t fathom such hate and blackness of heart. Thankfully! Not that I would want to!

Spirit Guides. They are rather like invisible parents, except they won’t punish you if you don’t do as your told. I can roll my eyes at them and make faces, and I rest assured that no one will deprive me of dessert after dinner. Heeding one’s intuition is a hot to trot concept as well, and one I find easier than taking action based on a Guide’s guidance. Intuition is that gut feeling that often warns us like a siren shrieking shrilly to stay away from someone we just met, or to take one job offer over another. I don’t recall bickering with myself over my intuitive hits. It is when I hear that Guide voice in my head offering assistance that I can get stubborn.

So why do I morph into a raging chowder head about what I receive via my Guides? It seems they are telling me something I don’t want to hear, rather like parents, but would be in my best interest. Now this isn’t true all the time, but it does happen. It can also be advice about my diet or sleep habits which I really don’t want to do. But need to. We are all blessed with free will so that we can screw up our lives in any way we see fit. Pfffttt…..  🙂

Living intuitively, really listening to your own gut, guides or what have you, isn’t for the faint of heart. Or a stubborn chowder head like myself. I don’t want to listen, I want to do what i dang well tootin’ want to do! But I am seeing first hand how much easier life is when I follow my inner guidance in all aspects of my life. And really allow my life to happen in Divine Order, not “do”, push, and bitch it into Annie Order.

Living an intuitive existence requires this:

Trust  yourself. Know you are hearing your guidance correctly and be willing to act on it, whether it seems “logical” or not.

Oh, boys and girls!!! If anyone was ever entitled to write a blog on this subject, it is surely moi!!! The path to accepting and embracing and TELLING OTHERS ABOUT my abilities has been long, full of arduous twists and turns, dark and scary like the Wizard of Oz’s flying monkeys, and it.still.continues.sometimes. But as I continue to see the benefits others receive from my abiliities, it gets easier to accept, embrace, and be dang tootin’ grateful for the joys of being intuitive and psychic. (FYI, intuitive is knowing something without knowing how you know. Psychic is being able to see past, present, and future; communicate with the Spirit world, and the other more “woo woo” activities.)

The fact that there was something unexpected about my consciousness presented itself with fireworks and a brass band 35 years ago. I shan’t bore you with the details, but here is the down and dirty on what happened: I had a dream that someone I vaguely knew of died in a certain manner. I awakened from it thinking, “That was weird.” Off I went about my summer break, farting about in the woods with my friends, reading books, and certainly never even considering the damn dream might come true!!!  Imagine my shock and chagrin as I perused the evening paper one night a month or two later. Holy. Crap. Same dude, in the way I saw it, dead as a mackerel! What was wrong with me!!!???? AHHHHH!!!
