Re-Soul-utions....a typo from God.

`

Every year around this time our thoughts begin to turn to our resolutions. Lose 20 pounds, spend more time with loved ones, give more to charity, all very worthy goals but somehow by February real life sets in and we fall back to our original patterns. Most years I refuse to play the resolution game preferring to set "intentions" instead. It occurred to me this year that I was just playing a silly word game that may or may not have any real impact on my life.

Although when I take a step back and look at the last 5, 10, even 15 years of my life I can see where the intentions/resolutions I made created major changes in my life. So there must be something to it. I may not have achieved all that I have wanted but I certainly have achieved more than I ever hoped for.

`

Take a look at your life. Are you where you want to be? Or like me, or you amazed at where you've ended up thus far? Don't look at yesterday. And don't worry about tomorrow. Try the 5 year plan. Where were you 5 years ago emotionally, physically, spiritually? And where are you headed? Change takes time. We must see the change to be the change.

`

So,I'm setting some Re-Soul-utions this year. I know as long as I listen to my soul, it will always steer me in the right direction. The Soul is the nearest thing to Source. Trust it. Pull one or two of your SoulCollage cards each day-- even if you just have a few. Find that small, still voice in the card, "I am the One who.....will give you the insight you need for today"

`

I resolve to continue spreading my seeds, now and forever.

`

Namaste & Love,Linda

Ummm..... my latest card.....

`

As Cory would say, "What the Heck?"

`

I dunno.

`

It made itself. At first it felt like something to do with being a target. And then about being surprised. The light spikes kept intriguing me... what the heck are they? When I put the Hedwig on it, it seemed like maybe it has something to do with the messenger.... and maybe something unexpected.

`

When I showed it to Cory, he said there was a place in World of Warcraft that had the same spikes of light and it was a healing field where you would go when you were wounded. I sort of liked that. It's weird how WOW has so many references to so many healing things. In fact, Cory tells me he played a healer in his game. He also was a warlock but I really just don't get it all. And of course, now I have digressed.

`

Let me wikipedia light spikes........ nothing.....

`

Think I'll let it simmer awhile. Or wait for it to come up in a reading. I think it's definitely archetypal. Something like The Messenger..

`

"I am the One who brings a message that sheds light when you least expect it. Don't let yourself be caught unawares. I am the One who won't let you be a target. I am the One who will bring you the message of when to surrender and when to take cover"

`

Or something like that.

Instant Replay Of Christmas

6:30am Wake up, start monkey mind "will she..., won't she..., will I...., should I, how beautiful..." roll over and decide to go back to sleep and start again.

7:15am "Mommy? Mommy? I made you coffee" First thought: Rut roh, is this gonna be like when she was little and you had to eat the burnt toast and runny eggs and drink weak coffee? Second thought: Mmmmm, my baby is growing up! To her: "Hey! This is good! From her: "Yay! I wasn't sure, you know...." Smiles.

7:30am Cory, Rhia & I sitting in living room, stockings on our lap. Waiting.....

7:40am To the dog: Go get Daddy! Go get him! Dog: ruff, ruff, bark, bark, jump all over us. Stupid dog.

7:45am Cory: I'm opening something whether he comes down or not. Big discussion amongst us, tradition, rules, courtesy, oh go ahead it's Christmas.... Finally a bleary eyed large man appears. It's Christmas.

8:10am Cory, looking around at all the ripped up wrapping papers, boxes and ribbons, announces: "I'm going back to bed." We all begin to protest but realize that might be a good idea.

9:00am I look up and realize no one has gone anywhere, it's completely silent and all are engrossed in reading their new books or playing with their new toys. Mmmmm, Christmas.... Reluctantly, I get up and start to make breakfast for us all and Barry's mom and his brother, Bill.

10:00am I go up to my altar, do a short reading, wash my face, give thanks.

11:00am Breakfast

2:00pm They go. Back to playing with our new toys. Yay!

3:30pm Convince Barry that the only true gift I need is for him to watch my new "Pride & Prejuidice" movie with me. Awake. The whole time. No Snoring!!! He agrees reluctantly and with a few nudges is successful for the most part but he finds an escape:

6:00pm Barry made dinner! First time ever, a holiday dinner! Me, feeling luxurious.... doing dishes, wondering if maybe I had chosen wisely all the other years. Cooking vs. Dishes.... get to the greasy ham roasting pan and decide cooking much easier... And funner...

7:00pm Cory & Rhia battling each other with their new Zelda game. Barry & I battling with a good game of Rook. Dog & Cat battling each other, just cuz.... I look around, see the lights, feel the warmth.

In spite of everything and because of everything, it was a very merry Christmas.

Off to work now :) Have a great day!

Merry Christmas

Hope your day is filled with cheer!

And your new year with peace.....



Namaste'
