Upset Wife

She came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making
Love to a very attractive young woman.

The wife was VERY upset!

'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to
Me a faithful wife, the mother of your children!
I'm leaving you.

I want a divorce straight away!'

And he replied:

'Hang on just a minute luv, so at least I can tell you what
happened.

'Fine, go ahead', she sobbed, 'but they'll be the last words
you'll say to me!'

And he began:

'Well, I was getting into the car to drive home and this young
Lady here asked me for a lift. She looked so down and out and
Defenceless that I took pity on her and let her into the car.

I noticed that she was very thin, not well dressed and very dirty.
She told me that she hadn't eaten for three days!
So, in my compassion, I brought her home and warmed up the enchiladas I made
for you last night, the ones you wouldn't eat because you're afraid
you'll put on weight.

The poor thing devoured them in moments.
Since she needed a good clean-up I suggested a shower and while
She was doing that I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes so I
Threw them away. Then, as she needed clothes, I gave her the designer
jeans that you have had for a few years, but don't wear because
you say they are too tight. I also gave her the underwear that was your
anniversary present, which you don't wear because I don't have
good taste.
I found the sexy blouse my sister gave you for Christmas that you
don't wear just to annoy her and I also donated those boots you
bought at the expensive boutique and don't wear because someone at work
has a pair like them..'

He took a quick breath and continued:

'She was so grateful for my understanding and help and as I walked
Her to the door she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said
'Please.........do you have anything else that your wife doesn't use?''

Berlin, Germany

I am going to a special Manifestion in November to Berlin, Germany.

20 years ago was the fall of the Wall.

My son is performing with other musicians there.

I am greatly honored to see him there, I am traveling along in the
same Touring Coach with my son and many of the musician as well.

This is a very proud event and moment for me and for many that will attend the ceremony.

Its also about freedom and wars must end.

The spirits among us are in need for Freedom and Peace as many before us have tried.

Being A Strong Container
Grounding Oursleves

We often hear people telling us to ground ourselves, but we may not be sure what that means, and how we might do it. Grounding ourselves is a way of bringing ourselves literally back to earth. Some of us are more prone than others to essentially leaving our bodies to and not being firmly rooted in our bodies. There’s nothing terribly wrong with this, but while we are living on the earth plane, it is best to stay grounded in our body.

One of the easiest ways to ground ourselves is to bring our attention to our breath as it enters and leaves our bodies. After about ten breaths, we will probably find that we feel much more connected to our physical selves. We might then bring our awareness to the sensations in our bodies, moving from our head down to our feet, exploring and inquiring. Just a few minutes of this can bring us home to bodies and to the earth, and this is what it means to ground ourselves.

We can go further by imagining that we have roots growing out of the bottoms of our feet connecting us to the earth. The roots flow with us so we can we always move, but at the same time, they keep us grounded. We receive powerful energy from the earth, just as we do from the forms of energy we associate with the sky, and our body is a tool that brings these two energies together in a sacred union. When we are grounded, we essentially become a strong container in which our spirits can safely and productively dwell. This is why grounding ourselves everyday, especially at the beginning of the day, is such a beneficial practice. Fortunately, it’s as simple as bringing our conscious awareness to our bodies and the earth on which we walk.

Scary Incident

I´m going through some weird times.

Days are various and I don´t know why I get up from my nest..

I´m basically a happy person.

I had to be at the hospital for an appointment at another hospital than
my usual choice a few days ago of the advice of my MD.

Anyway my husband drove me early but we had do some errands before we got to
the hospital.

Traveling by car out of the town we come from, driving into the next town stopped
for a traffic light to wait for it to turn green.

We drove off passing a gas station thereafter proceeding towards a round about.
Just before we drove towards the round about we noticed there were 2 cars the had bumped
into each other. The driver of the car had hit the car from behind. It look like fender damage.
Both drivers parked away from the road to wait for the police to arrive.

My husband took the turn on the round about suddenly the car was out of control,
we in the car were helpless the car slipped and made an uncontrolable spin, I
held on my seat, we both had our seat belts on.
I closed my eyes and pictured only the white in them.

My husband held on the steering wheel. The car kept making strange
spinning, I was scared we were going to flip over.

My husband turned the steering wheel to avoid us going to tip over or
hitting a passing car, had to be quick.

Time was trying put me / us to our end.

Drove away safely looked for a place to stop to have some coffee at a nearby shop for the shock.

Afterwards went to the shopping before I was to be at the hospital.

Finally got to the hospital to see a Doctor / Surgeon, I´m going to be operated.
It was to be expected.

We did arrive home safely like nothing never happened.

Its an experience I don´t wish to repeat.

Your Perfect Teacher
Life

Many of us long to find a spiritual teacher or guru. We may feel unsure of how to practice our spirituality without one, or we may long for someone who has attained a higher level of insight to lead the way for us. Some of us have been looking for years to no avail and feel frustrated and even lost. The good news is that the greatest teacher you could ever want is always with you—that is your life.

The people and situations we encounter every day have much to teach us when we are open to receiving their wisdom. Often we don’t recognize our teachers because they may not look or act like our idea of a guru, yet they may embody great wisdom. In addition, some people teach us by showing us what we don’t want to do. All the situations in our lives, from the insignificant to the major, conspire to teach us exactly what we need to be learning at any given time. Patience, compassion, perseverance, honesty, letting go—all these are covered in the classroom of the teacher that is your life.

We can help ourselves to remember this perfect teacher each day with a few simple words. Each morning we might find a moment to say, "I acknowledge and honor the teacher that is my life. May I be wise enough to recognize the teachers and lessons that I encounter today, and may I be open to receiving their wisdom." We might also take some time each day to consider what our lives are trying to teach us at this time. A difficult phase in your relationship with your child may be teaching you to let go. The homeless person you see every day may be showing you the boundaries of your compassion and generosity. A spate of lost items may be asking you to be more present to physical reality. Trust your intuition on the nature of the lesson at hand, work at your own pace, and ask as many questions as you want. Your life has all the answers.

Choose Your Words

Choose Your Words
Failure

The word failure puts forward a very simplistic way of thinking that allows for only two possibilities: failure or success. Few things in the universe are black and white, yet much of our language reads as if they are. The word failure signifies a paradigm in which all subtlety is lost. When we regard something we have done, or ourselves, as a failure, we lose our ability to see the truth, which is no doubt considerably more complex. In addition, we hurt ourselves. All you have to do is speak or read the word failure and see how it makes you feel.

At some point, the word may not have been so loaded with the weight of negativity, and it simply referred to something that did not go according to plan. Unfortunately, in our culture it is often used very negatively, such as when a person is labeled a failure, even though it is impossible for something as vast and subtle as a human being to be reduced in such a way. It also acts as a deterrent, scaring us from taking risks for fear of failure. It has somehow come to represent the worst possible outcome. Failure is a word so burdened with fearful and unconscious energy that we can all benefit from consciously examining our use of it, because the language we use influences the way we think and feel.

Next time you feel like a failure or fear failure, know that you are under the influence of an outmoded way of perceiving the world. When the world failure comes up, it’s a call for us to apply a more enlightened consciousness to the matter at hand. When you are consciously aware of the word and its baggage you will not fall victim to its darkness. In your own use of language, you may choose to stop using the word failure altogether. This might encourage you to articulate more clearly the truth of the situation, opening your mind to subtleties and possibilities the word failure would never have allowed.

Seasons

Its been an amazing summer.
All kinds of experiences happen.
I am flushed with sunshine, yelling kids in the neighborhood,
anything that could bring us outdoors.

Its almost Autumn....time for renewal....

Death comes in strange ways.

We can adjust at what our future can hold for us.

The leafs fall off the trees, shedding for a new life.

I wish for so many things.

But at times the unexpected stops before us.

It knocks you out of place and you pick yourself up again, in all season.

The trees of the seasons tell our story as we walk our path.

People Who Don't Get It

Living with It
People Who Don't Get It

You may be someone who understands the true nature of reality, perceiving deeply that we all emanate from the same source, that we are all essentially one, and that we are here on earth to love one another. To understand this is to be awakened
to the true nature of the self, and it is a blessing. Nevertheless, people who just don’t get it are seemingly everywhere and, often, in positions of power.
It can be frustrating and painful to watch them behave unconsciously.
We all encounter individuals of this bent in our families, at work, and in all areas of public life.
It is easy to find ourselves feeling intolerant of these people, wishing we could be free of them even though we
know that separation from them is an illusion.

It helps sometimes to think of us all as different parts of one psyche. Just as within our own hearts and minds
we have dark places that need healing, the heart and mind of the world has its dark places. The health of the
whole organism depends upon the relative health of the individuals within it. We increase harmony when we hold
onto the light, not allowing it to be darkened by judgment, anger, and fear about those who behave unconsciously.
It’s easier to accomplish this if we don’t focus on the negative qualities of individuals and instead focus on how
increasing our own light will increase the light of the overall picture.

When dealing with people who seem very unconscious, it helps to remember that every one must find their own
way to awakening and that the experiences they are having are an essential part of their process.
Holding them in the light of our own energy may be the best way to awaken theirs.
At the same time, we are inspired by their example to look within and shed light on our own unconscious places,
sacrificing the urge to judge and surrendering instead to humble self-inquiry.
