Balance

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

“In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.” ~Patti Smith

I need to find a balance between this blog and my other blogs. The blog I use for generating money has been my main focus because it’s my bread and butter blog. Hey, that has a nice ring to it. Someone probably already has a blog with that title. I’ll look it up when I’m finished writing this.

I didn’t buy this domain to just let it sit here. A couple of week ago, I intended on having a schedule where I would rotate my article writing on each blog. I would write one article on each blog and when that was accomplished, then I would go back to the first blog that I had written on for the day and I would write another one. I need to rethink that system.

I write more articles on my Mae’s Muse blog which takes up so much of my time. Actually it’s the researching for the article that takes up so much of the time I spend on each article. I wonder how so many people say that they can get an article done in five minutes or less. I’ve tried it and when I do, there’s not much quality in the writing, in my opinion.

So, I need to find a better balance. I don’t want to neglect this blog any more. Maybe I can blog rotate the days instead. Blog a set number of days on one blog and then another set on my other blog and so on. Because I have three blogs and I plan to have more soon. But I don’t want to stretch myself too thin. If it gets to be too much, then it may cause stress. But, then again, if I want it bad enough, I believe that I will be able to find a way to maintain these blogs and have balance as well.

Taking a break will be incorporated into this system. I’ll find a way to make sure it’s not a long break, as I’ve done here.

I think I didn’t realize that it was a balance issue for me. But now that I see that, balance should be easier for me to maintain.

We all need balance, because without it, there’s chaos. I know how chaos feels. The energy isn’t uplifting and can cause a breakdown. Maintaining balance can keep peace and tranquility thriving in the soul.

“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.” ~Euripides

Why Alex?

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

That’s the question that keeps popping in my head whenever I see any form of the name, Alexander. Male or female, it doesn’t matter. It started when I discovered a site called, Pixelotto.com. I have written a couple of posts about it on Mae’s Muse. I won’t get into it here.

Ever since then I have been seeing or hearing that name, over and over again. Mostly on t.v., but sometimes online as well. I think my daughter mentioned the name a few times as well.

I don’t know. Maybe it’s nothing at all. That happens on occasion. It could be because I started noticing it more. But that doesn’t mean I’m dismissing it. There could very well be something to it.

Time will tell.

Number Thoughts

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Yesterday I was thinking of a few of the numbers that have been coming up for me in the past few years. Namely, 22, 33, and 44.

The meaning of number 33 is truth. Eugene explains it very well and many times to people who have emailed him asking him what it means. He also answered a question that someone asked about the number 22. If you scroll down, you’ll see the title, “Ask Me”. The question and Eugene’s reply is right below that title.

When I began reading Eugene’s reply, I thought of chocolate and then my mouth began to water. The word, “stimulation” was what did it for me. It’s usually when I read about chocolate that I start salivating. The mind is a powerful tool. If everyone knew this and used this knowledge for the greater good of everyone in the Universe, can you imagine how much more love there would be? I can. All it takes is one person at a time.

I did a search on the number 33, to see if I could find anything new. This web site looks familiar, but I’m not sure. But I wanted to share it because of the title and because I was curious about the word, “Pravda”, so I found the word on Wikipedia. A couple dates caught my attention: April 22, 1912 and August 22, 1991

Pravda is a Russian newspaper that was first published in Vienna. The first issue was published on October 3, 1908. The last issue on April 22, 1912, which was also the date of the first issue in St. Petersburg.

On March 3, 1918, the newspaper offices were transferred to Moscow.

I don’t have the sense that the information I found about the Russian newspaper, Pravda means anything at all to me personally. But then again, it very well could. Like I’ve said many times before, I don’t dismiss any synchronicities. Pravda, by the way, means, “Truth”, which I’m sure is the reason for the title of the article on Time.

As I thought of these numbers, a few things occurred to me.

  • My son is 22 years old.
  • I have a sister who I didn’t grow up with. My father left me with the sister of a friend of his when I was 12 and my sister was five. I didn’t see her again until she was 14. That was 22 years ago.
  • I have a brother who was two years old the last time I saw him. He’s now 33 years old.
  • I will be 44 years old this year in November

*My father took my brother and my sister to another state. I became a foster child.

There could be more to the numbers, 22 and 44 than this. I will continue to be conscious of them. And even the number 33 because since it means truth, if I am not living in truth then that number may begin to appear as a reminder for me. It’ll be God’s way of whispering in my ear reminding me to speak my truth, live my truth…be…my truth.

Hey, take a look at the timestamp.:)

Mae’s Muse: The Secret on Oprah

Thursday, February 8th, 2007
What Is The Secret

I’m late in getting this posted. I posted about it on Mae’s Muse: The Secret on Oprah because someone left me a comment about it there and I still get more traffic there for people doing searches on the Law of Attraction and abundance or the Law of Abundance.

I know a lot of people who are excited about watching Oprah today. I’m most certainly one of them.

What am I talking about? I’m talking about the movie “The Secret“. Oprah has dedicated an entire hour to talk about the movie. She even decided to tape the show instead of airing it live so that it would have a better chance of having an impact on viewers.

Frankly, I’m surprised she hasn’t done this sooner. But, I don’t know Oprah and don’t know her reasons. But, I’m glad that she made this decision. A very wise one, too. Now it’ll be spread even more widely around the globe.

It airs today at 4:00 CST (Chicago, IL)

I’m so excited!:)

Number Sequences – 22 and 44

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

I’ll also be writing about the numbers 222 and 444. I’m once again seeing 44, but I’m seeing 22 more often. I can barely keep up with all the different times and if I would have been keeping count, I probably would have lost track.

I didn’t write notes so I don’t know when or where it began. I just know that for at least a week or two I’ve been seeing the number 22 every single day. On television I see it and hear it. Online I read it and my daughter has made mention of that number more than three times.

And then today I checked my stats for this blog. Someone had found my blog doing a search on “444 synchronicity”. I like to check the search results myself to see how high up on the page my blog is and also to see if there are any web sites that might interest me within the search results. Most of the time there is at least one.

And this time is now exception. I found this from that results today. I didn’t read all of that article. I mostly skimmed it and found serveral the numbers 222 and 444 mentioned several times.

Although I’ve been seeing double digits while what that article shows is triple digits, I still consider it all to be synchronous and possibly related in some way. It’s all spiritual to me and I don’t discount anything that could be significant.

I just now found a web site where someone had posted some information about the synchronicities of number sequences from a book for another person. The greeting kind of startled me. It could have been me writing that because I often call someone “Sweetie” when I feel comfortable enough, even if I don’t know the person well. Here is what is said about the number sequences for 222 and for 444.


222 – our newly planted ideas are beginning to grow into reality. Keep watering and nurturing them, and soon they will push through the soil so you can see evidence of your manifestation. In other words, don’t quit 5 minutes before the miracle. Your manifestation is soon going to be evident to you, so keep up the good work. Keep holding positive thoughts, keep affirming, and continue visualizing.

444 – The angels are surrounding you now, reassuring you of their love and help. Don’t worry because the angels’ help is nearby.

Wow. That excites me. I had already read about the number sequence, “444″, but not “222″. I read that and I suddenly felt a stronger flow of spiritual energy passing through me. I have already been full of physical energy since I got up this morning and this spiritual energy was like an extra dose.

So now maybe when I brave the below zero degrees temps outside, my body won’t feel the bite of cold air as much. Since I don’t drive and since the grocery store is only a 5 minute walk, I always put on an extra layer or two of clothing. I don’t really like the cold weather, but staying positive helps me to be able to tolerate it better and I even find ways to enjoy it. The brisk walk in the friggid air gives me even more energy and I also appreciate coming home to a nice warm house.

I can also look at the beauty of the snow, sparkling like diamonds on the ground.

I’m drinking hot tea to warm myself from the inside which will kill the chill a little as I’m outside and then I’ll come home and have another cup. The hot liquid and the electricity (positive energy) warms me from the inside out.

I was not always a believer in the symbolism of numbers. There was a time when it never even crossed my mind. And when it did I dismissed it. But when there were more than a few of what I at one time called “coincidences”, I was still a skeptic but I no longer dismissed what I was seeing. I would pay attention more to see if any of it meant anything at all to me. When the what I now call synchronicities showed me that they happened for a reason, I became a believer.

So, if you are reading this and you are unsure of what is going on, please, don’t dismiss what is happening. I believe that synchronicities do happen for a reason and for me it’s always a part of my spiritual growth. My spiritual awakening. Ten years ago I wasn’t writing about spirituality. Ten years ago I wasn’t awake. I was clueless. But now I appreciate and I take in every synchronicity that I become aware of. And I take it to God because it’s God that is bringing them to me. I am letting him know that I hear him and that I know he is trying to get my attention. If I ignore them, God will make a way to put my attention on him. I may not always like his methods, but they usually work.
