Breakthrough

Last night I had the greatest breakthrough! In the midst of an disagreement, I suddenly realized deep in my gut that I didn't need anyone's approval, only my own. I know that may sound trite, but it isn't at the level that I finally 'got it'. It is so darn freeing, not to be a slave to anyone's thoughts about what is right or appropriate. It has always been easy for me with people that I am not really intimate with, but with people I am close to, I always wanted their approval.

It is overcast and cold today, typical November weather in October. There is more than a hint of winter in the air. I have a roast in the oven. Cold weather food seems to be the order of the day.

Sunday Morning

The clock in the bedroom was off by an hour, so I got up an hour later than I wanted to this morning. I do feel good from all the rest.

It's off to Mystickal Voyage in a few moments. I have three clients today and am taking a workshop on working with the shadow side of self. I am looking forward to it and seeing how it will fit into the next two workshops that I am co-sponsoring. Gwen always does a good job.

Finished up the Releasing for Abundance yesterday. Now we can move on to the next lessons, although I do want to work the workbook when I have time.

Friday, Friday

Going to the gym again for the first time in a long time.

My clients all seem to be doing well at this point in time. I am looking forward to a slower week next week. Working Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and then off for the rest of the week...yeah! We will celebrate Hollows Eve with the crew at Mystickal Voyage on the 31st, but I think we will skip The Rocky Horror Show part of the celebration. One time per year is about all I can do.

Wednesday of the following week we have the Shamanic Healing Circle at Mystickal Voyage. So much loving energy in one place...I love it!

Busy morning

I have been customizing this blog and I like it a lot better with my own image in the header. Began crocheting again. It has been a long time, but like bicycle riding, you never forget how. I am enjoying the mindlessness of it. Looking forward next week to Denise arriving and my massage. YEAH!!!

Gwen and I are working together on some awesome upcoming workshops in January and February at Mystickal Voyage. The first is "Shadow Mask of Self" and the second is "Creating a Healing Shroud of Power". I believe they will be dynamic and draw a large group of people. It will be a blast working closely with Gwen on a project.

Monday evening

A good day. I get such satisfaction in the work that I do. I love seeing people transform before my eyes.

Quiet evening

I am spending a quiet evening at home with my husband, 2 Corgis, 3 cats, a fish and a snake. It turned cold last night and we are running the pellet stove to stay warm. Giving it a test drive, which seems to be working just fine. Tomorrow Bill comes to install the last of the ceiling fans that will help to circulate the heat from the pellet stove.

Tomorrow is another busy day at Mystickal Voyage, that's why when it was slow today I took advantage of it and came home to take care of my sinuses. I'm still waiting on my resupply of product from the amazon to keep the winter sniffies away!

I have the draft of my newsletter done and am getting input from the hubby before sending it out. I am pretty excited about doing a newsletter again. Also got the spare room ready for my company from NC that will arrive next week. I am so looking forward to it.

What a Way to start a day

Wow! Got a telephone call from a client this morning who had the negative energy extraction and soul retrieval done. She called to tell me how awesome she was feeling, how much energy she has now and how even her sinuses have cleared up since we worked together. There is no better way to start a day then to have someone experience and share such healing.

I notice that there are always at least two of me in any session I do; the one who believes that what I am doing absolutely works every time and the one who looks at each successful outcome as a miracle. I hope I never lose the wonder of this work and take it for granted.

My students are due to arrive in about an hour. I am so looking forward to seeing them again. They are such a good group of people and are beginning to 'get' the shamanic work. It is delightful to see the ahahas that happen each class.

Autumn morning

It is a beautiful autumn morning. The leaves have changed colors overnight and some of my trees have shed their leaves, especially the red maple. It is almost bare. I found myself singing the song Autumn Leaves this morning. It is such a pretty song.

I know I have a negative energy extraction/soul retrieval scheduled this afternoon, so I am preparing myself spiritually for the work. I always journey for insight ahead of time so that my client gets my full attention during this process. I also want to get a list of the books regarding animal guides for my article on that subject in my newsletter. I will continue to read "Andean Codex" again in my off time at Mystickal Voyage.

New Website

Wow! I just got the draft for my new website and I love it. Glad I decided to consult with Joanne, she is awesome.

Made 3 more necklace/earring sets today. Figured I would get some done before my busy weekend. Tomorrow, Sunday and Monday I am at Mystickal Voyage and Saturday I have my basic Shamanism class to teach. I am excited about the lesson, as this is the first time my students get to put all they learned together into a basic shamanic energy session.

Had a good day today, got the ad together for On Purpose Woman magazine with the help of Susan. Now to Joanne to tweak it and away I go.

Busy day ahead

Today I am going to:

Trim the dogs toenails and feet
Finish the laundry
Make some jewelry
Write at least one more article for my newsletter

That should take up the whole day, if I can do all I want to get done.

Had another lesson in letting go. Short of hiring a private investigator or going to the courthouse for records in my birth state, I probably will not be able to search out my half sister. Now I have to decide if I want to let it go or make a deeper commitment. I will journey around the subject for more clarity.

I trimmed some bushes outside yesterday and got a good workout. Shoulders got a bit sore, but the bushes look a lot better. It is good to spend time outside while the weather is so beautiful. I love autumn, the time of harvest and the beginning of slowing down for the coming winter.

October Morning

Woke up this morning with the thought that we humans are constantly bouncing between fear and love and that the times we stay in the love zone are the times we are happy. Even though there are a million different descriptions of emotions, they all boil down to love or fear.

A good exercise is to challenge your ego by telling it "I love you" everytime it mutters a negative thought about yourself or others. When you do that, the old ego gives up and goes away...at least temporarily.

I am going to trim a few bushes outside today. The weather is beautiful and it is time for me to do some ayni work (Ayni is the Peruvian Shamanic principal of reciprocity, of give and take).

I love the autumn. Sitting this morning in our sunroom watching all the birds frolic in the breeze was a great way to start the day.

Just Created This

And I did it all by my lonesome. Not bad for a tech challenged person. My husband makes everything seem so easy, but it isn't for someone not savvy to all this stuff..lol

Wrote 2 more articles for my new newsletter. I meet with my consultant on Thursday and I am hoping that I have the first draft of my new webpages by then.

On Friday, we led a wonderful Healing Circle, the kick off for a monthly event at Mystickal Voyage. It was wildly successful. We had 20 people and they all had amazing experiences. I know it is going to be a great positive monthly event. Some counter balance to all the negative in our society right now.

Did a baby blessing Saturday. When I wrote the blessing, it seemed to just flow and the baby's parents loved what I wrote. It was nice that the baby I did a remote intervention for in order to get safely born was my first blessing to give, too.

I have been getting confirmation from Spirit that this is the work I am to do and I am so glad that I have the time and ability to do it.
