Spiritually Speaking

How can the two co-exist?

Fantasies, imagination and daydreams are all healthy unless and until they get out of control. Some people take their fantasies too far. Far beyond authentic living where the secrets lie. Meaning inauthentic living or out of authentic living. And there the ego is allowed to take control where no man should authentically go…without the Soul to console.

When does one say enough is enough? When it’s too close for comfort? When names are revealed?

P.S.: I would tend to have more faith in the Soul my Soul has been following in order to serve.

Perfect timing…

*This blog post is inspired by a great singer/songwriter, player of words and a man who writes much better than I do and knows a lot more about water conservation, although he also admits to wasting water. I love his honesty. Love the header photo, too.*

I must be a monkey

It’s World Water Day. If you have clean drinking water, you are blessed. I feel blessed knowing that my water is safe to use. There are many people who don’t even have a toilet to flush.

My daughter’s father’s family is from Guatemala. They have a limit on how much water they are allowed to use per day. When it comes to showering, it’s first come first serve there. Once the water runs out there is no more until the  following day.

I’m not a role model for conserving water. I don’t fill the sink up for dish water. Sometimes I put water in a bowl and refill it as needed but not always. Sometimes I leave the water on while washing a dish.

I also flush the toilet when I’m finished. If my daughter goes to the bathroom when I’m finished and if I don’t flush, I worry that she might get some splash of my pee on her. And visa versa. I think that’s just gross and unsanitary. So, we both flush.

Except when the toilet looks like it’s ready to flood in which case I leave a note for my daughter saying “Please do not flush”. I don’t want to embarass anyone by going into detail about it. I’ll just say this: Gross.

Maybe writing this will help me to remember to be a better water conserver.

Speaking of water, I love the ocean, but I don’t know if I still want to have a beach house. Or if I’d want to live too close to the ocean. Tsunamis and hurricanes scare me.

But I shouldn’t let that stop me, right? I still want to be near the ocean. I’ve only been to the ocean once that I can remember. That was 30 years ago when I was in bootcamp. It was a hot summer day in Myrtle Beach, SC.

Respect the water.

“It…is..time, woooo.” (ghost of a bus driver)

“It’s time…Woo?” (ghost of Milo)

Ever seen the movie, “Heart and Souls?” That is one of my favorite scenes. When the ghost of the bus driver tells the other ghosts that it’s time for them to go with him to be reincarnated. It’s a sweet and corny movie.

The wish for a big hug chokes me up every time. It’s so sweet.

Well anyway, this is my way of saying that it’s time for my return to blogging here. Of course, it’s no coincidence that my muse is ready right now. There are no accidents. There are, however, many synchronicities and perfect divine timing.

Today, January 22, from 4:00-7:30 pm, there is going to be a special healing event for The Chopra Center co-founder, Dr. David Simon at La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA.

Anyone unable to attend the healing ceremony will be able to be with those in attendance in spirit, including Dr. Simon and his family by meditating from where we are at the same time as the group meditation which will be at 5:45 to 6:15 p.m. (PST).

“Our intention for this event is to create a way for the extended community to come together with the collective intention for healing –– both for David and all those coping with difficult health situations.”

I’m sending my love and healing energy to Dr. Simon and anyone else conflicted with health problems. I’m also sending love and blessings to everyone at the Chopra Center and all involved in this healing ceremony.

See you in the Gap.

Namaste

Happy New Year! (Happy Jan. 2, 2011.)

Cool. It’s 1-1-11. It’s like seeing 11:11 on the clock all day. It means angels are near. Make a wish.:) (Yesterday from Twitter.)

At the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010, I felt an energy flowing through me that I didn’t understand. I read other blogs that also spoke of an energy. Many called it a shift. Or an energy shift. That’s a good way of describing it.

I can explain some of it, but by doing that I would need to explain more than I’m ready to right now. I’ve shared some of my story and now I wonder if maybe I shouldn’t have. But, what’s done is done and the best we all can do is live in the present moment by not fretting about the past or worrying about the future. And embrace the unknown. Easier said than done, I know.

Since I’m not one for keeping New Year’s resolutions, I haven’t nor am I going to be making any once again this year. If I really want to accomplish something, it doesn’t matter if it’s in the beginning of the year, the middle of the year, or the end of the year, unless there’s a specific time I want to accomplish whatever it is.

I’m also not one for sharing my plans before I begin a project. It’s better for me, personally, to keep my goals to myself for awhile, at least until I’m in the middle of it or almost finished. But it depends on the type of project and whether I want feedback or not.

I’m not going to say I’m excited about the new year because I don’t know what it’s going to bring. I may not be so excited by some of it. Better to stay neutral and just take it as it happens. In other words, remain detached. Something else that’s easier said than done.

Those that I say are easier said than done are not impossible to accomplish, either.

Tips:

Live in the present moment
Embrace the unknown
Practice detachment

So, I’m not going to share what I’m planning on doing this year. Not until I feel the time is right.

Blessings
