I have been watching a few great video's lately, great Abraham stuff and a series from Jelaila on money. Do check them out!

Feeling tired, funky, like there is a standstill in your life? You're not alone! Pam sent me this quote, which got me thinking about the void. The void is where all creation happens. It's a grand place, but right now, honestly, it feels challenging.

It's not so much that we are afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear... It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There is nothing to hold onto.
~Marilyn Ferguson

But we go on, we sit in our caves to regroup, and we come out to the sunshine feeling like a new person!

myspace blog

I just posted a new blog on myspace with business-y updates!

off?

We went out to dinner last night to celebrate my dad's retirement and my mom's birthday. I didn't notice the above until I was done eating. Is totally how off I was feeling! Thank goodness they were the same style anyhow!

thoughts for now

Have I mentioned how much I love my yoga class? In the months since I started (March?) going to the restorative/gentle yoga class I have noticed both small and large shifts. Small in the way my heart is opening, how my body always reflects back to me what's happening emotionally or energetically, in the way I am more accepting of myself. Large in that I really do notice a difference in my physical body's ability to move and be fluid and not as stiff. It feels like it is preparing my body for MORE. It's so nice to go to a place where I don't have to "be someone", I can just BE, not say a word, and go within. Of course, those nights when I almost die aren't so fun (how is it that doing an arm stretch on a wall can make one almost pass out?), but I always leave laughing and still feeling lighter. Those are the times when I feel stretched beyond my comfort level, and I am realizing that stretching beyond what I feel is comfortable or safe is exactly what I need right now. It feels good.

A fun story to share ... my 6 1/2 year old twin nephews just started playing baseball. It's called "near ball", the teams are boys and girls, and the coach just keeps throwing balls until they hit one, they don't keep score, and it's very entertaining. Last night was their first game. During the 2nd inning, Kaedon hit a great ball, but instead of running to first base, he turned around and ran towards grandma sitting on the sidelines, totally plowing into her for a hug, even though we're all yelling, "Run to first!!" He just stayed with grandma. It's already a great family story that will be told for eons! :)

Had all these other thoughts about synchroncities and new connections, but they all just vanished. Not the right timing I guess! 'Night!

Ahhh creation! I am a happy beader today. Finally created a necklace around the Green Girl fairie piece that I bought for myself about 3 years ago! It's a whimsical piece that its just for me! (Unless I get inspired to sell it...) It's been so nice to spend an afternoon in my porch with the windows thrown open in my porch, the sweet smell of lilac (a late korean bloomer) drifting in, and the sun shining, creating new things! Have been doing some new bracelets too, so stay tuned. I was inspired at the Stone Arch Festival yesterday (which incidentally is where I first met my dear friend Brenda about 10 years ago ... didn't really connect until a little later). I love my city. Great art fairs, great views, a powerful river ... we walked along the new walkway overlooking the St Anthony Falls in downtown Minneapolis, saw great art, enjoyed a perfect Minnesota sunny day. Life is good.

Happy father's day!

Indy!

If you haven't seen the new Indiana Jones movie yet, GO. Especially if you are into metaphysics or paranormal even in the slightest! I was shocked at how accurate the early part of the movie is, with Area 51, Roswell, and other Mayan and ancient references. I won't give away any more, but whoa I was grinning ear to ear for most of it, knowing how it'll shift some consciousness!! If I hadn't been in a theatre with 100 other people I would have stood up and cheered at the end! :)

But really, I can do without ants.
