Yes, I know I keep talking about my dogs. But when you live with a being who spends all day everyday in the Vortex, if you don’t pay attention to her attitudes and actions, you’re just plain dumb. Who wouldn’t want to emulate pure joy? (more…)
At the end of May, thanks to some serious misalignment, the law of attraction brought to us an uprooted, leaning tree. The “facts” are that a freak wind storm broke off the top of one tree, and that treetop fell into a second, dead tree, knocking it partially over. Surrounding trees caught the dead tree and kept it from going all the way over, but its position was precarious.
The day after the wind storm, we got an estimate for removing the tree. The cost would be $850 … which might as well have been $850,000. We didn’t have the money, and we still don’t.
If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know that a couple months ago, my “what is” situation was a turmoil. I’d just gotten sued over debt. I had no idea how I was going to pay my bills. We were in danger of losing our house. Blah, blah, blah. The bottom line is that my mind was full of “dead wood thoughts.”
What are dead wood thoughts? They’re “how” thoughts. (more…)
Ducky turns one year old in a week. Hard to believe. I can still close my eyes and feel that warm little ball of wiggles I held in my arms when we brought her home last October. Tim says he vaguely remembers being able to carry her around. She’s now almost 45 pounds of mostly spring-generated muscle.
Since Ducky is my greatest and most consistent source of joy (she’s sort of like a cannon that shoots me into the Vortex), I decided to spend a couple bucks for the props to stage a good Ducky birthday picture for The Joyful Springer (it will be on the site on the 24th). So a few days ago, Tim and I stopped in Wal-mart to get a birthday hat and balloon. (more…)
I have a life-long pattern that I am in the process of breaking.
What I used to do was this Do-not-do-this-at-home-or-anywhere-else Process:
I can vehemently say that this process creates nothing worth talking about. (more…)
In 1996, when I moved to the beach, I bought a book, Drawing For Dummies, because I thought that now that I was going to be a free-spirited divorcee, I would try my hand at art. But I was so busy walking on the beach and writing that the book sat on the shelf. Until 2008.
After my accident in 2008, I spent months off my feet and much of that time, I was on pain meds that clouded my thinking. I didn’t do much writing or reading. Something about my pain or the painkillers or the shock of the accident disconnected me from my usual link with words.
Still, I craved creativity. I wasn’t content to just watch TV or listen to music. I wanted to bring something to life. Law of attraction reminded me of that book on my shelf. (more…)
