100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE...

“Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life, and a secret life.”
--Gabriel García Márquez

ONE STEP ON A JOURNEY BEGINS WITH THE FIRST..

Lift one foot,

Dear One,

Make a move,

Backward,

Forward,

Left,

Or Right.

Which way,

Matters not,

Make a choice,

Fear it not.

Stand still,

If you must,

Ponder Yonder,

Is it green,

Perhaps serene?

Wait til dawn,

Then try,

Just one step,

Or be brave,

And,

JUMP!

Maybe an Angel.

Flying by,

Will catch you,

In His arms,

And soar with,

You,

Beyond the Blue.

DIVINE INTERVENTION? I WONDER...

This is a picture of a Nun in Spain who was of the family that witnessed miracles. Look at this face. My Facebook friend shared this photo from her last visit there as well as the story of this Nun.

I am starting to believe that there is a greater power within each of us that is based on The Law of Attraction. I am finding mine through meditation and allowing "better feeling" thoughts to manifest. I am stepping aside to allow good things to happen to me now and receive. To ask. To seek. To be still. To listen. To wait.

For instance,I have had more coincidences happen this past week than I have experienced in my whole lifetime. Yes, I have always

been a bit clairvoyant, but this is going far beyond that. Bumping into people that I need to. Thinking of people and getting emails or phone calls within seconds of the thought. Electronic devices and transmission doing very, very unusual things...As witnessed by Verizon technicians, verified happenings through people close to me, and so on. And I do not have to do anything except allow my intentions to be brought to awareness and to others.

I am beginning to think that this may have something to do with the meditation I have been doing for the past two months. A tape was bought for me from the Bohdi Tree in West Hollywood. It is by the Hicks on the subject of meditation and the Law of Attraction. All I have to do is allow for the "better feeling things to be received into my Vortex (life)" And dissolve the all rest. Drink plenty of water. And Breathe as instructed.

Maybe this is what some people call miracles. Syncronicity. ESP. Like radio waves, or Dophins, our thoughts lead us and are able to communicate in ways we are unable to comprehend or understand. It is just "What is" .

I feel the need to express these thoughts as they are so powerful and so much is being manifest into my life at the moment and in the NOW of the moment that I cannot contain the building joy it is bringing me.

I have left out the specifics, but will share these as soon as I can find the words.

My love and light to all. God Bless. I love you.

SOCIAL NETWORKS AND SANITY...POLTERGIST

YIKES!

I experienced Poltergist in my Facebook message box. Near two-year-old messages appeared in my current inbox. These were from my X and his daughter, with a picture of us and his X (whom is is wife once again). A Painful experience for me as I was confused and did not know what to do to correct these personal messages, and thought it might be my X that has to correct this on his end.

Yesterday, these messages that happen to appear out of nowhere. The messages were from my X and his daughter. Why this happened, I do not know. I emailed the X and got a ? And then guessed or realized it must have been a glitch in the system. I have to just find out how to fix it. I am so embarrassed and humiliated once again by the whole ordeal. And have to relive the same pain as I did back then.

Another digital mountain to climb.

We not only have to deal with real time closure of painful events from the back roads of our memories, now we have to deal with Social Network memories to taunt us. Go figure. It is truly a digital world and this is an example.

Make it simple. Pray for guidance and turn it over to the Big Guy in the sky. I am powerless.

Love and Light to all.

God Bless. I love you.

DREAM OF MY OWN DEATH...SCARY.

I dreamed a dream of Death,

My own,

And was at peace,

And not alone.

Memories,

Good and Bad,

Took my hand,

I felt not sad,

The face of Death,

Reflected in the mirror,

On the wall,

Yet, I had no fear,

No Fear at all.

From my bedside journal this week. November 27, 2011.

Photo of me sleeping and then Photoshop contrasted to reflect the feelings of Death. Cold and Peaceful.

Thoughts on my thoughts.

PRAYER FOR MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE...

Marianne Williamson RETURN TO LOVE...

Dear God,

I give this day to you, the fruit of my labor and the desires of my heart. In your hands, I place all questions, on your shoulders, I place all burdens. I pray for my brothers and for myself. May we return to love. May our minds be healed. May we all be blessed. May we find our way home, from the pain to peace, from fear to love, from Hell to Heaven.

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory.

Forever and ever,

Amen

My Love and Light to all. God Bless. I love you.

Let us remember and Love one another...Forgiveness is not selective if it is heartfelt, and not just convenient.

I am sure you can read the part that says, "Life is Beautiful." But can you see the banner on the tall Ochre building that says, "Love is the Answer'? I did not have time to photo this building in its entirety, but return soon to get more shots.

It is amazing!

Well, I am finally entering the digital age for seniors. And loving it! I bought myself an early birthday present. A Fire Kindle. And am in the process of setting it up. Whew! Lots to learn. It does so much. Anyway, about 30% there.

At the same time, my lovely daughter and son-in-law surprised me with an early BD present. An IPhone4 with 3G capabilities.

One of my BD dream wishes for about 10 years, but I was too cheap to pay the monthly service fees. However, now that I am not buying as a single, but as a "family" member, I got a deal. The IPhone4 setup is not for the faint hearted, nor the geriatric set, as it takes a lot of patience. My patience is limited. I have to remember the HALT thingy (never get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired...Something like that)

It took me the whole of this morning to just get used to the keyboard to type the information for an Apple ID and the Password and Credit Card info. But hey, I did it. I am so proud. As I depended on the brilliance of my friends to help me in the past.

In addition to this, I had to set up WiFi/Internet in my apartment to use with my Kindle, as well as my IPhone4, as well as visitors with MacPro, laptops etc. I used my Grandson's Acer Laptop, very basic to do this as my IMac G3 is not well enough...Poor Baby. (Next year, a Mac Pro Laptop for me from Ebay). I am saving my pennies now...Haha.

Let's hope that after all the "doctoring" and a strong heart beat, I will be able to travel with my new electronic stuff to Paris and visit Monet's garden. And have soup and hot bread in a local cafe. Dreams do come true. Some take longer than others.

I am growing up. But I still reach for a hand to hold during these ordeals...Thank God for Tech Support and Specialists... They are my new Social Network.

Well, that was Thanksgiving week. Intense, but progressive.

My love and light to all. God Bless. I love you.
