turn the lights out

I'm doing Earth Hour tonight (while I do yoga/meditation). Might seem like a little thing, but it's something.

Quickie updates ... life is GOOD, I have cleared a lot of crap, and I am joyfully moving forward! Have been gathering things for my new office, am buying IKEA on Monday, moving in on Tuesday. Meeting with Joan (& Kenny) today for a bit (yay!! been too long), have a client at 3, then tomorrow get to buy rocks!! Other good things this week: my dad got a shiny new silver car yesterday, my niece loves me a lot, I talked to my best friend Michele, Whispers is going through some expansion and shifting, I reconnected with a childhood friend (after 20+ years) AND an high school friend (after 10 years?) through myspace of all places (AND there is a cool astrological thing with it, but I'll post that later), I'm going to have my picture taken with Duff of Ace of Cakes tomorrow :), I had a great yoga class on Tuesday, Peg found a new dress for her daughter's wedding, Brenda's meeting me at IKEA, Julie probably picked her new business name .......... what else? It's all good stuff and made up for the rather crappy birthday this week.

OH OH AND THE BESTEST part .... I found flowers popping up out of the rich dark earth yesterday!! Blessings!

Reiki is a gentle hands-on healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

It is a great starting point for anyone wishing to learn more about energy healing, as well as a great adjunct to other healing modalities.

thoughts

I went my first yoga class last night! Its a Restorative Yoga class, which is basically just laying on the floor, doing stretches, etc. There was definitely a love-hate relationship with it happening, but at the end, even though both KB & I agreed we were just doing one class to check it out, I bought an 8-class pass. It was a tiny bit challenging at points, and my mind was challenging it all, believe me, but today I feel really good. (Okay except for the minor ache in a shoulder.) It was interesting that even though there were 6 others there, I never even really saw them, or the instructor, since I was so in the moment of each pose. But thank goodness Pam is doing 8 weeks too (hopefully KB too), to have someone to compare notes with! And according to Pam, this was more active than her previous classes! Its nice to have time to just BE and not have any thoughts.

KB and I are working on an intuition class! It'll be a good class, but I can't believe I'm doing it, since I feel so unqualified to teach what I can't put words to. But she keeps having people ask about it, so we're jumping in.

I'm also thinking about money today, since a few friends are experiencing the lack of and worrying about it. Here's what I know about money:

It is an energy. It is always in flow and flux. Our focus and our thoughts create our reality. What we focus on is what is created. If we focus on "I don't have any money", "How am I going to pay for it?" etc, you won't have any money and you won't pay for it. If you keep your thoughts at "I am abundant and prosperous" and TRUST and SURRENDER to the Universe, it is much easier for the Universe to rearrange itself to support you. Our thoughts and beliefs about money play a huge role in it coming into our lives or not. If we have even a super unconscious thought or belief that we don't DESERVE it, it won't come to us. If we believe to the core of our being that our time and energy is worthy, it will come easily. Manifesting is not necessarily easy. Magnetize and attract it to you. But if we put the work and energy into being positive, FEEL the flow of money coming into your life, VISUALIZE it, create opportunities to acquire money, it's easier. Especially those of us who are self-employed sometimes forget that we need to create our own opportunities. How have you reached out to your clients or your community this week? If you are feeling stuck and "broke", create an email or a flyer for a few coffeeshops, send out a coupon, talk to your neighbors, visit a new business to offer your services. Money is always there and is unlimited. It does not just show up without work, however. We all deserve it and the Universe wants to reward us for our being here on earth! Its GOOD to have money! Be GRATEFUL when you do have money and be GRATEFUL when you don't have money, for both are opportunities to grow and learn. Ask, tell, or DEMAND that the Universe take care of you, release your expectations of how that should work, and accept and open to the miracles it can create!

Specifics on how I create money:
*White board with my "needs" (office rent, a new bookcase, $333 for such&such Expo, etc) and what I am grateful for, asking for it all with EASE and prosperity
*Affirmations of I AM a money magnet. I now attract all I need and more. I am so grateful to serve! (or whatever works for you)
*Any money I do receive, whether it is cash, checks, credit card payments, a discount on a product, a quarter found on the floor, I THANK it. I bless my checkbook/credit card/cash each time they are use.
*Ask for Ganesh to remove obstacles to receiving money
*Thank the universe for bringing in what you need.
*Pick up the Secret book for reminders on how to stay in the flow of abundance, to create prosperity in other ways than money as well
*Oh and really, I think that Million Dollar Experiment is working. I say this every day:

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who holds this intention.

Ahhhh yes!

So, there ya go.

I'm going back to my long list of work right now, even though I want to just sit and breathe and play my crystal singing bowl. Gee, I think I will DO just that right now!

spring?

I spent a lovely afternoon at Como Conservatory yesterday with a friend. SO needed to smell the earth and the flowers, and could feel the layers of winter just peeling away. For those of you aching for spring, maybe a few photo's will help at least temporarily ...




(for you, Pam!)


(is it glowing?!)

March email newsletter

Spring IS coming soon, really, it is! Almost everyone I know is experiencing "cabin fever" here in the Midwest, but have faith! Personally, I keep fondling my seed and garden catalogs that are coming, and am headed to the Como Park Conservatory weekly! (HIGHLY recommended!! Go visit!) The underlying energies of spring about to burst forth are just an indication of what is to come ... new life, new growth, an abundance of new ideas and creations. Can you feel it? Keep dreaming and FEEL what you'll be creating.

Online Shop News
My online shop is taking longer to get back online than I realized, so my apologies to those of you who keep asking when it'll be done! It's fully functional for you to shop with all products except for crystals, and I will be committing some time the next 2 weeks to get some NEW crystals from Tucson online. In the meantime, you can read my blog (
www.crystallinelight.blogspot.com) about my Tucson trip to see what I brought back, then email or call me if something sparks your interest. :)
