An Idea:

During meditation yesterday, I had an idea. The Wheel of the Year has traditionally 4 seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. With some important middle area dates as well.

So I created 4 communities:

[community profile] winter_introspection
[community profile] spring_newbeginnings
[community profile] summer_growth
[community profile] autumn_harvest

I was thinking about doing the directions with the seasons, but not all flavors of Religion or Spiritual practice have the same designation for the Directions. The one that I practice puts East-Air-Spring-Yellow, which isn't the same on every path.

But seasons are just on a calendar, they are seasons of life. While it might be spring outside, you personally could be in Autumn.

Like this year is a 9 year, but I'm in my 3 year.

Some basics:

1. Stay on the topic of the post and community.
2. Be Polite
3. You are not entitled to someone's time or content.
4. Rude, Bullying behavior will get you banned and blocked.
5. You are 100% responsible for your own Reality.

So we had some awesome rain storms today. Thunder, Lightening, rain...It was wonderful.

So when we have that amount of rain the sunsets are awesome.

I am grateful that I can take myself off my schedule. And what I mean by this is there was a moment in time where I slipped on the ice and I should have at work and ask them not to book me solid, as I had slipped on the ice. And they had told me that they couldn't do that without talking to my massage lead but observed the fact that my wrist was shaking like a leaf. To which my massage lead confirmed that booking me solid would be a bad thing. Going into work today, and realizing that I can't work my full day, and being able to contact my last client and cancel her appointment, as well as negotiate with my second client and do an hour instead of the 90. That is very refreshing for me, to realize that the power for that type of decision is back in my hands.

I am grateful that there is a co-op. That has food that I can have when my digestive system is on strike. I'm not really sure if it's food poisoning or just a disagreement with what I ate. But I'm strongly leaning towards a mild case of food poisoning. Cuz I realized this morning, the last time I felt like this was during a food poisoning episode or that weird stomach bug that was going around that caused all sorts of unpleasantness including flu-like symptoms.

Naps. I love naps. The only thing that's downside about naps, is excused with your sleeping schedule depending on how long you sleep.

Days off. I'm off today. I am normally not off today, but I am off today.

Apples. Especially crunchy and juicy ones.

Cool evenings. Of which you can leave your window open and have fresh air in your room.

Sunset at the Park.

I am grateful for Metro Transit and their 2.5 hour window for usage of their tickets. I went "Window Shopping" at a bookstore. You can guess how that ended.

I am grateful for lunch with the office. The salad was great, but I think the oil that the brussel sprouts were cooked in was rancid or just past it's prime. I'm pretty sure that bananas and apples are going to be my focus tomorrow, plus I haven't done my dishes and I don't think I'll have the spoons for that tomorrow morning.

I am grateful for the beauty of spring. Despite how I may feel about winter on occasion, it makes Spring that much more welcome when it does return.

I am grateful to help two of my clients tomorrow, though I'm unsure what it'll do to my spoon supply for the week.

I am grateful to be able to sleep in, because I needed the rest.

I am grateful for the raise. Every little bit helps.

Yesterday was kind of on the fence on whether or not I was going to go to the reading, but knowing how much it frustrates me when someone cancels. Especially someone I haven't seen before. Either the day before or day of, I was going to go.

I didn't start moving until about 9:00 or 10:00. And it was slow. And by the time I was fully dressed and after I took my shower, I realized I didn't have spoons to walk four blocks. So I drove. The reading went wonderfully, essentially it was the same thing that I had on my birthday. Things are moving, changes are being made, be patient.

I wandered around the bookstore and then I left and went home for a little bit. Then I went to the crystal store, not for particular purpose, because I didn't need anything. But while I was there I decided to get some Guardian crystals for my thresholds. And then I took the bus down to transition point that would take me to a park. Before I left my home I packed a bigger bag than I normally do, and put a blanket in it so I could sit on the ground.

I am really glad I did. It was really re-energizing sit on the earth. And I spent some time in the park, then got back on the bus and went to a co-op and had a salad. The salad was really good. When I was putting and creating it, my stomach was like this. So this.

The rain. We needed the rain. We needed the rain so badly. We hardly got any precipitation for the winter this year. So yeah, so thankful for the rain. We also got thunderstorms.
 
 
Shopping at Costco during a storm. Easy in, easy out.

Driving for the conditions. It's interesting here in minnesota, they drive like it's snowing when it's raining. And they drive like it's raining when it's snowing. So that's the say that they drive slower when it's raining than they do when it's snowing.

All of my clients. Everybody showed up. We got work done. It was a good day.

Ho'oponopono. This morning I almost rear ended a utility truck. I was messing with my phone, and yeah. So I did this practice to interrupt my self ruination record. And to say I am sorry please forgive me for being distracted, it was totally my responsibility. Thank you for the quick response time with my brakes. I love you. And I did this a couple more times, and it completely interrupted the internal negativity.

Finishing The Book of Ho'oponopono. I finished the audio format of this book. I will most likely go through the physical copy of the book and take some notes. And I have a couple other books on this subject that I would like to listen to. Sometimes I find it much easier to listen to the book than I do reading the book. Sometimes I find it easier to listen the book, and then read it.

Moving things around. And realizing actually, one of the reasons I keep delaying my psychic development/ intuitive development classes, is I don't want them to end. So the more I delay the day, granted a lot of it deals with finances, the longer the class lasts.

Tormenting the kitties. Merlin is a very soft large cat. And he sits there and he complains, or he kind of sits there and relaxes, or he kind of sits there and complains but his tail isn't telling the same story. Mischief, missed you kind of just sits there and says hello. What kind of miss it when she was tiny. She would find my client's shoes sniff them get in them plant her butt into the toe box and fall asleep.

Today's picture is of the sunset-ish over the hill Nick near my house. One full day of rain and all of a sudden all the green buds are coming out on the trees. The Oaks have budded but they haven't become green yet.

I am grateful that I got up and moved today. I set my alarm at 6:00 a.m. I snoozed it for two times, and then I got up. I had shit to do today. I wasn't sure if I was going to mail my taxes or do them online in the website that I usually use. I want the website option. Then I'm sure that you know taxes are done.

The sunrise was very beautiful this morning. I didn't realize I got a orb. All three pictures that I took of the sunrise, have an orb in it. Squee!

Forgetting things done. The taxes are done and I did my chores. even emptied the kitty litter trash.

Mondays. Mondays are creative chaos. They are neither bad nor good, depending on your perspective. I took my time going home today, because I didn't want to be stuck in rush hour. Usually when I go to work I am going in the opposite direction of Rush hour. And I see the lines. No desire, zero desire to be stuck in that. So I hung out in the parking lot in the warm car, and did my daily guidance.

Pistachio pudding. By petite. It's very delicious. It better be, since two of them usually run about 599. And they're like a half a cup.
medusahealing: (Not a Complete Idiot)
For getting things done. No I haven't done the dishes, but I did do laundry. I did take a walk. I finished my notes at work. I redid my schedule. I got gas for my car. I got a deck that I've been looking at. I set an appointment for an intuitive reader. I set an appointment for my weekly client.

I am grateful for the weather. It is beautiful weather. The only downside is the bugs are starting to come out, and I think I saw a mosquito tonight.

Not oversleeping today. I set three alarms, and I slept through two of them.

Practicing ho'oponopono. I looked at what I had been spending this weekend, and I was about to go into the ruination of my record player in my brain, and I stopped and went through I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you. I said I am sorry and a statement, please forgive me thank you and a statement, and I love you. And now I'm not freaking out. I'm freaking out for a different reason, and that's because I still need to do my taxes.

Not having to sleep with a heavy blanket last night. I just slept with my comforter and my flannel sheet, and not the heavy fleece blanket. And I slept well.

Flexibility. When I was speaking with one of my clients yesterday and she had asked what type of body type do I prefer, I told her that was the wrong question. It's what type of client do I work with? And my answer was a client that is consistent, does it work, even a little bit, but always shows up. I don't normally work tuesdays. But one of my regular clients is going out of town, and had to cancel her Friday appointment this upcoming week. So this morning when I was at work, I was like I could come in on tuesday. So I sent her out a message saying hey, I'd be willing to come in on Tuesday for you to make up that appointment. And she said yes. So I'm going to work on the 23rd.


Metro Transit all day pass. $4. I left the house at around 4:00. And I'm returning home around 9:00. It's essentially two bus passes. Which is what I would actually be doing, is two bus passes. But it was a beautiful day, and I wanted to spend some time out as well as do a little shopping. But I don't think it was so much shopping, as I wanted to be around people. Because I went to the Crystal stores, and did not buy a damn thing. I went to the mall, got two meals. Dinner and dessert. But then I passed by the Croc Store. And bought two pairs.

This beautiful weekend. We got 81° F here in Minneapolis today. In april. This is good.

Sales tax in minnesota. Minnesota does not tax on clothes or shoes. It also does not tax on fabric that can be used for clothes.

All the beautiful people. There were so many beautiful people out tonight.

Merlin. Merlin comes to greet me. Mischief bring in her presents with me, when she feels like it.

No socks. It's nice to walk around with no socks on.

Tank tops. It was warm enough for me to wear a tank top today.

Re-mineralizing toothpaste. Ever since I started using this type of toothpaste, which you can't find in stores, the sensitivity in my teeth have disappeared.

Not having to get up at 4:00 in the morning. Tomorrow work starts at 9:00. Which means I don't have to be up at 4:00, I can be up at 5:00 or 6:00. Yay!

My clients. Everybody showed up. And everybody kind of does their homework. One of my clients today asked me what type of body that I prefer to work on, and I said it's not the body, it's the person that I prefer to work with. I prefer to work with a person who does their work. I prefer to work with someone who is doing their homework. I prefer to work with someone who is doing some of the work to help themselves or all of the work. That way when they come back, they are in a different place than they were before. When we work together, we accomplish our goals, and we get to that place, where you don't need us all the way. And then maybe it's just a relaxing therapeutic, instead of a functional outcome workout.

Cash tips. I cannot emphasize this to the max as much as I might want to put emphasis on this. I know that I have to learn more about what money is and how to relate with it. It's not something that has been done in my family, nobody in my family knows how to work with money. We just do what we've always done, every generation. I know that I need more than one stream of income. But I don't know how to get there, and I know that is a decision that I need to make in order for me to be in a better place.

Sunny mornings. As I was leaving the apartment today and even doing meal prep, the Sun was shining through the curtains in the living room. It was really beautiful.

Metro transit. I came home with the intention of going to Fresh thyme, to pick up some spicy spaghetti sauce. I didn't get started until a little late, so instead of going down into bloomington, I went St Paul to Lunds and byerlys. They used to carry what I was looking for, but I ended up buying two different kinds because they didn't have the combination anymore. Which was the spicy with the vodka. It worked out.

Half price bookstore. I was not intending to buy books today. I was just going to look. How many people have said that? Not only did I not intend to find books that I needed or wanted, I found books that I wanted. And they were under $10 each, so I got them.

Beautiful weather. It makes it much easier to use Metro transit, when you're not trying to shelter yourself in a storm in a shelter that has no shelter. What does that mean? Our shelters have a wind throw away. So they usually have two doors, and they are open on the bottom. Which means when the wind is wind, you will most likely be cold. And depending on the way the rain is flowing, you will still be wet. So when it's sunny, I am grateful. And in the winter some of the shelters have heat lamps. Which I'm very grateful.

Costco. Wyman's makes a wild blueberry bag that's 4 lb. It's only sold at Costco. I can get a 3 lb bag at the co-op or whole foods, and it cost me about $15. The Costco 4 lb bag is 10 bucks. Where do you think I get my blueberries at? I did find a jar of wild blueberry jam at Costco this week too. I chose that over the lemon blueberry bread loaf. That was some sort of sacrifice somewhere.

Space. I like my space. But I also like to have people to converse with. Minneapolis was very much a retreat for me, and now I'm ready to branch out, and step out, I'm not quite sure how to do it. But don't take me hard. It was all a trap, should have stayed as kids. The judgments weren't quite there. But when you find one or two or three people that just get you, it's totally worth it. But I agree, adulting everyday seems a bit excessive.

The flexibility of my career. Regardless of whether or not I am an independent contractor or an employee, I can dictate when I am available and when you can work me. thought train ).

Enforced kitten cuddling. My cat and my roommate's cat are adorable. Merlin walks up to greet US during the day, and there are different greetings in response. My roommate will gently pet her cat, and I will pick my haircut up put him on his back and cuddle him and rub him and do all the things that you're not supposed to do to a handsome gentleman.

Present Moment. Present Moment is a store about four blocks from my home that has books, herbs, medicinals, an herbalist on staff, oracle and tarot cards and a basement FULL of clearance and second hand books. But anyway, I went for some Dulse.

storms. We have the wandering mini storms this evening. The sirens went off. It was weird. My first thought was it's not the First Wednesday of the Month, and the second was to check the alerts, there was none. Weird.

rainbows. We had a double rainbow this evening, plus another one later around sunset.

Pizza Luca. After walking to and from the store, my spoons were done for the day.

four hours of work. I had four hours of work today, all deep tissue.

cash tips. It paid for dulse and dinner.

hot showers. I plan on taking one before bed. I need to remember that tomorrow is friday and my first client is at 8 and not 9. It's happened before.

my career. I can change my hours. I'm considering doing just that.

Rain. I love the rain. we need the rain.

my career. When things hurt, it helps to know what to do to help them feel better.

my family. There are days when I just want to move outside of the US and never really come back. Not because of politics in the way people are thinking, but just to get the fuck out, then I remember I have family here, and I would miss them.

my chiropractor. He's going to hurt me sometime in the next 2 days.

I am grateful for beautiful days. I will either be very motivated to get shit done or I'll be looking for distractions keep me from getting shit done. Laughing. This morning I got up and I went and did a little grocery shopping, came home and did laundry. Then I took the trash out, did recyclables, and vacuumed the apartment. I got shit done.

I am grateful for getting shit done today. I work 4 days. This is my get stuff done before I start working. So all my laundry is done, this means I won't be missing anything. And all my personal chores are done.

I am grateful that we hit 73° F today. I opened three windows. And enjoyed the Beautiful weather.

I love decluttering. It frees up space but it also frees up energy. It's an interesting correlation between being overweight as well as having clutter around you. It's an extra layer that people have to work through in order to get to know you. In Louise Hay's book, she mentions that being overweight is an need of protection. Have you ever walked by someone's porch? And some porches have purpose, and some porches are used as storage. It is an extra layer that you must work through, in order to access the person who lives there. It's basically like a moat.

I am grateful for my cats. My cat mischief was glowering at Merlin today. It was hilarious. Merlin gets jealous, so he kicks Mischief out of her perch. Then Merlin gets up of his own free will and goes to eat, and Mission takes your spot back. Then Bishop is sitting in her spot cleaning herself, and Merlin comes back to a spot that is no longer his, and she sits there and glowers at him. It was hilarious.

I am grateful for the area in which I live. I moved to Minneapolis as a retreat. Sanctuary. Mainly to get away from my mother, so I could work on myself without interference, or someone who knows me so well that she can tear down my walls and push all the right buttons. So I moved to a city that was 26 miles away while I didn't have a car, and Metro Transit doesn't go down there. Well it didn't, 10 years ago. Now if I would like to go down there, buy something other than car, I can take the bus, it'll take a while. My relationship with my mother has improved in the last 5 years.

I am grateful for moving outside of my shell. I know it's probably not going to be comfortable all the time, and there are days that I may not want to come out of my shell. Let alone my bedroom, but it feels like it's time to stop hiding.

I am grateful for an evening walk. The goal is 6,000 steps, and days in which I do my chores, I usually need it quite easily. But this morning I had to take my watch off so I could charge it.

I am grateful that I live a couple blocks from a lake. The sun sets are phenomenal. And the trees are still naked. No, when I went out to my car today, it looked like the trees have been fornicating on it. Outside of the yellow dusty film on the car several weeks ago, that's usually the first time spring.

I am grateful for Pamela's pancake and waffle mix gluten free. I replace the oil on the egg with bananas, sometimes applesauce. But I have found a way to get the graininess that sometimes happens when you just replace eggs with bananas. You make it with bananas and canned coconut milk. The fat from the coconut milk balance is out what you are missing. Or you could put more bananas in it. It looks like a normal pancake, except it's much more filling.

I am grateful to sit and make jewelry and listen to drumming music. Even when it makes my roommate's cat freak out and play with the house faeries.

I am grateful to take a walk on a cloudy day, and completely miss a major sky event, but my random thought of the day is how do woodpeckers not get concussions?

I am grateful to have a day off, and I'm working on not freaking out with having Wednesday off this week.

I am grateful for the cloudy day. Layers are important.

I am grateful for the oracle draws. They bring up interesting questions and thoughtful days.

I am grateful to declutter. I'm slowly purging and throwing out shoes I've not worn or had repaired.

I am grateful to clear space. It makes my brain happy, but it also forces me to take "band-aides" off.

I am grateful for water. Water is good.

I am grateful to sleep. Rest is important.

I am grateful for fanfiction. It's a beautiful distraction.

I am grateful for YouTube on my phone, there's less lag time.

I am so very grateful for my clients. Sometimes I just love them so much. Two of my clients yesterday came in they are husband and wife. And he sent me gratuity through venmo tonight, and it says for two torture.. I mean massages. He's adorable. They both came in for neck back and shoulders. For her her shoulder on her left side was impeding her range of motion of her neck. And for him he requested neck and shoulders, and his recovering from influenza a. I'm not sure if you guys are aware or not, but I'm very detailed oriented and focused outcome-based massages. Which means that you will have your range of motion back, but your body will remember me for at least a day or two, sometimes a week.

I am grateful that the dryer works. And that I won't have to air dry eight sets of sheets.

I am grateful that it hit almost 60° Fahrenheit today. I have three windows in my apartment that are open. My cats are really enjoying it.

I am grateful that the United States Postal Service has an online complaint section. The new postal dude is not delivering mail to the new boxes that we have downstairs, he's putting the mail in our unsecured mailboxes in the entryway.

I am grateful for each and every one of my clients. They all showed up today.

I am grateful for pizza luce. I am also grateful to be able to have completed my dinner meal before 6:00 p.m. that is a goal, I would like to have my dinner done with before 6:00, as my goal is to get in bed before 9:00 or 10:00. That way most of my food is well into my digestive phase.

I am grateful that the sheets will be done tonight. And tomorrow I will be going in to get an adjustment, drop the sheets off, and pick up a check so that I can pay my half of the rent. And then I'll be off to do a massage and maybe go to costco. I need more bananas.

I am grateful that my roommate has her cpap. She is very pleased, but states that she's been having some problems with emotional fallout, due to the stress of dealing with the county in regards with her insurance. I am very grateful that I opted not to renew my insurance this year. The amount of class all over the place that I'm seeing from people who've had to renew their insurance has been very interesting to hear. And not an experience that I wish to have.

I am grateful that I got home early enough to have a front parking space. I love being able to go out to my car right out the front door.

I am grateful for the library system and the many different libraries around the city area that I can venture to.
medusahealing: (Default)
I am grateful for the Metro Transit system. I went to the library after work. I had a book that was due, and I had two books on hold for pickup. Then I walked around the grocery store. And caught the bus back.

I am grateful for cash tips. Cash chips are the bomb. They enabled me to get gas today. Which I needed.

I am grateful to have gotten over 7 hours of sleep last night. That was nice.

I am grateful to take a hot shower before I go to bed tonight. That is one less thing that I have to do tomorrow morning.

I am grateful for the vehicle in which I have. She's perfect just for me.

I am grateful for the opportunity. Whether or not I exercise towards that opportunity, is entirely my choice.

I am grateful to get the giant cardboard boxes out of my apartment. Today was recycle day, so the two only bins that we have were empty. Unfortunately, my box is kind of filled one of them. I think we need another bin.

I am grateful for the beautiful sunsets. I love me some beautiful sunsets, and sunrises. But I most likely be awake for sunsets.

I I'm grateful that I am off the day of the eclipse. I am also debating whether or not I want to do a Kamikaze trip to another state so I can see it and it's full glory. Or just hang around here and do some personal shit.

I am grateful that I have the apartment to myself today. My roommate is spending the night with her bow, the doors are locked, and I am almost ready for bed.

I am grateful for family time. I got to see both my aunt and my cousin today. It was a good day.

I am grateful to have my bed all made for rest. It takes a bit to take down and put up, so if I can get it all taken care of before bed, then it makes things easier.

I am grateful to remember to water the plants. I usually look at them and think I need to water them, and today I just did it.

I am grateful for decluttering. It helps my mind work.

I am grateful for music. I love me some music and the right kind of music is awesome.

I am grateful that the snow mostly missed us. I love the snow, but I don't want to drive in it.

I am grateful that I had a $50 to deposit into my account for my insurance premium. Somehow I missed about $40 in my transactions and then $60 for my costco membership, which has since been added to my yearly calendar.

I am grateful for being the only one in public bathrooms when I have air in my number 2. I can be loud and not feel embarrassed about it.

I am grateful that I don't have to go in right away tomorrow. My sheets for work are currently air drying because the dryer died today, all 10 sets plus a personal load. Fun Times.

I am grateful to have a set work space. It helps put myself in that frame of mind.

I am Grateful for Brunch. It's a meal that I did not have to prepare.

I am Grateful to be an Aunt. My nephew was told not to lick is knife, and I looked at him and added at least not where someone can see you do it.

I am grateful for the natural Spring. There's a spring in Eden Prairie, MN that I pull drinking water from.

I am grateful to clean. Even though it's overwhelming, it feels so nice to be done. ...well except for ... ow.

I am grateful to have a storage unit. So I can put things into it.

I am grateful for a safe drive. It's been a weird weekend, LOTS of accidents on the road.

I am grateful for the new layout with my room. I have my sleeping and work space separated.

I am grateful for the new season of growth. I know the journey itself will questionably unmundane, but it'll be fun.

I am grateful to be "done". I hurt.

I am grateful to pay it forward. Several years ago my scraper broke and an older woman gave me her old one to use and said I could keep it. Today when I came home from dinner with my cousin, there was an older woman trying to scrape her windows, and I noticed that she didn't have a scraper to do it. So I went to my car and pulled my old extendable scraper, and gave it to her. She was so appreciative, and it was truly humbling to be able to provide that for someone who was in need.

I am grateful that I put myself on a late-start tomorrow. I was planning on doing a massage, but I'm not sure how the roads will be tomorrow morning, so I'm going in late. This means that I will most likely be doing an o-dark thirty wake up to go do the massage on Thursday morning...not sure how I feel about that.

I am grateful for metro transit. I found out that one of my favorite bus lines has evolved into something evil. So there is a line called 23. It's old route took it to St. Paul and then Uptown, NOW though, OMG...I so happy...It goes from Ford Parkway in St. Paul to Hopkins. *happy dance*. This means I can go to Trader Joe's on ONE bus ride, NO layover. But this also means that I can go to a Half Price Books in St. Louis Park AND, AND I can go to the one in St. Paul. TOO!!!! Not only that there is a Lunds off of Ford that has a Caribou in it. I'm pretty stoked!

I am grateful that it has STOPPED snowing. Yes. Finally, it has stopped snowing. We aren't supposed to get any more precipitation until next week. There's ice under that white fluffiness.

I am grateful that the MOON IS OUT....YES!!! YES!!! And she's BEAUTIFUL!

I am grateful for a warm hot shower. I took two of them today. Mainly because when I got home after transversing the cities, I was cold, my toes were cold, my hands were cold, my butt was cold, I was cold, hot shower it is.

I am grateful for this time off, though it makes want to not work though. I'm not sure if it's burn out or just not wanting to go out tomorrow.

I am grateful for family time. I love my weekly time with my Cousin. We went out to dinner because he was hungry. We went to a restaurant that I had been to before, and the food was good, but we won't be back. Small small plates, in big plates.

I am grateful for Half Price Books. I was able to purchase three books I was looking for, for less money than was on Amazon, and one that wasn't really on my radar, but fit better than the one that I was looking at.

I am grateful for the bus service. I did NOT want to drive. So I purchased an all day pass and went on my merry way today.

I am grateful for the weather. Sometimes it's scary, sometimes it's dreary. Sometimes it's beautiful and terrible at the same time.

I am grateful for days off.

I am grateful to work in the flow. Once I start if I have time, I'll continue. So I cleared my roommates car off, then another two neighbor cars off, and then I started clearing the snow in the the gutters, so that the water could drain properly. Which when it started raining, it helped a lot.

I am grateful for getting work done. I had 10 sets of sheets to do, and sometimes I wait for the next day, but I'm not sure what I want to do tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't doing laundry.

I am grateful for the winter storm. We really needed the wetness.

I am grateful for flannel and fleece. It's nice to be warm and not over heat.

I am grateful to get a hair trim yesterday. I really do love my hair a bit shorter than most, but I haven't gone as short as I have had it.

I am grateful to have my car cleared off, even though there's a strong possibility there's more snow on the way. It's best not to wait till the end, but to do it in stages. Less work later.

I am grateful for a short week. I'm off Easter weekend.

I am grateful for crazy cats. "my bowl is EMPTY" there's still food there. "empty"

This is one of my very favorite pictures I've ever taken. It's of snow drops at the arboretum. It fits with a meditation that I do in circle. East - Spring - Dawn - New Beginnings - Air - Yellow - The fresh green snow drops peaking through the leaves of yesteryear from the earth

I love how the snow is so heavy that it carries the branches so low. Sometimes when you stand under the tree it's like a small shelter of green and white wet fluff.

I am grateful for saying no. My house client texted me and told me to tell him when his appointment for tomorrow is. I spent the day actually moving all my appointments from Sunday to Saturday because of the forecast, and I had no time for him tomorrow. For my own well being, I had to say no. Not tomorrow. Depending on the weather, not till Wednesday at the latest and Monday/tuesday at the earliest. And he said...just let me know and I'll make it work. Thank You! Thank You!
  • Do you know what? I could have made it work, but it would be in determent to my well being to do it.


I am grateful for the snow. It was bright outside, even with most of the streets melted. Snow just changes everything.

I am grateful for the forecast. We need it, we are severely lacking in the water department this winter, and we have been having a lot of fire flag warnings lately.

I am grateful that I was ready to go into work if needed. That I did get up and move when I said I would be ready at 12 if needed.

I am grateful for turkey tail mushroom. My cats are more energetic when they have it.

I am grateful for the sun. Snowamegenden is forecasted to last from Saturday till Tuesday, so we'll see how that cookie crumbles. It could be a wild ride. I'm kinda hoping for a snowstorm like we had in the winter of 2022-23.

I am grateful for my bed. Flannel and fleece baby.

I am grateful for my day off. I did several things I've been running out of time for or putting off.

I am grateful for kitten cuddles. I was sad not to stay in bed with that gravity.

I am grateful to air dry. I learned the hard way during covid that it's bets to wash and then air dry my masks, less shrinkage. My poor ears.

I am grateful that I have friday off. Though, I feel very weird about it, because it feels that I'm on friday right now, because I'm off on Friday. Weird.

I am grateful it snowed. My cousin in law asked that I keep the snow on our side of the border, she's had enough, to which I've responded with I can't control the wind. But the snow was teasing us all day.

I am grateful to have the apartment to myself. I'm looking around and I'm coming to realization that there may be some purging in my future.

I am grateful for snow, I love snow, I want all the snow, but I'm also hopeful that I will still be able to work this weekend.

I am grateful for Traumscape. They make some good meditation 10 hour music beats.

I am grateful to be mostly booked this week. Though I was hopeful that I would be able to hold off getting paid till next week, I have a bill due on Sunday, that I'll need to get paid for.

I am grateful for face masks with some Eucalyptus Oil. It makes cleaning the kitty litter much easier.

I am grateful for fanfiction. It's an awesome escape.

I am grateful for getting things done. It honestly feels good.

I am grateful that my day is done. It was a good day.

The weather isn't GREEN yet. It's not time. But people are impatient.

This is picture from years ago. It's taken through a window of a green house. I loved the texture of the picture and took many of them because of it.

I went back to bed today. It was a short day.

My meditations showed me doing my offering after my Cousin's visit. But I chose to do it with him. He was interested in some biking trails, and I knew where some trails work that he didn't know about. So we took ourselves out to Chaska.

There are some trails out where I used to live. One of the trees that I loved finally fell over and was cut in several places, and BOY was it hollow.

I am grateful to spend time with my cousin and show him things I enjoyed. I find out that I like to do what my Dad does and show people what has changed.

Today was a wonderfully productive day. I found my crystal grid. I went grocery shopping, cleaned the fridge, went to the library, and went to the crystal store (for small or tiny crystals).

I found an exploded bottle of butterscotch soda in the fridge, which was really amusing. Because I just talked with my roommate yesterday about the stickiness in her car. Which turned out to be an exploded beverage because the of cold. It wasn't icky, but it was sticky. I needed to clean the fridge out, because I couldn't fit my groceries, and it was just time. Now my groceries fit.

I went to library to print some things out, and I was struck by this nakid tree against the blue blue sky.

My roommate and I went to Taylor Falls, MN today to visit the bead store off the main drag. My main goal for this trip was some Prehnite, but they didn't have any. They did have some Rutilated Quartz though. Which was also a goal. Followed by some beading supplies.

I'm again struck by thoughts about going into business creating crystal jewelry and tools.

I am grateful for my roommate. She was on board for carpooling with me out to Taylor Falls. Though, she drove. Which okay, it all worked out.

I am grateful for spotify. There is a lot of access to a lot of elbows and meditations that I do have, but I can access them so much easier with a membership to spotify. It's wonderful.

I am grateful for fleece and flannel sheets. I like being warm. Not overheated, warm.

I I'm grateful to be able to make or show people gratitude and give them a surprise. That lady was actually sitting down looking through her purse, so yeah. That felt good.

I am grateful for face masks. I know people don't really like them. And it's a mixed bag depending on who you are and how you feel about them. But I really like my cloth face masks. They are very helpful in the winter when I need moisture around my face. And they are very helpful when my throat is sensitive, because they keep moisture around my mouth and my nose. And I have a variety of them, so it's always nice. I was wearing face masks before covid. For the same reason, because during recovery my throat is much happier when the air coming in is the same moist temperature that it was going out.

I am grateful that I did not dismantle my bed today. Which means I don't have to put it back together today. I can just take my cat off the bed, so I can get in bed.

tea. I love tea. When I was little and younger, not a fan. But I started my tea journey with Chai and I enjoyed it. I even like root tea, though it has to have ginger.

beautiful drives. I love drives in the country. I love to take the car and just go. During Covid that's what I did, I would take drives. If you couldn't go anywhere, but you could still drive, yep....

my dishes done. If they aren't done, they just accumulate in the sink, and then I get agitated because I know I'm not the only one that lives here. But my mental health does better overall if I just do it.

this crazy winter. I am totally loving it.

Fleece Blankets. Fleece Blankets combined with flannel sheets are the bomb.

Tuxedo Cats. They are just a special kind of cat. My sister must have lost her mind somewhere, because she has 2 of them.

The sunshine. Honestly people, this is beautiful weather. I couldn't ask for a warmer winter.

Finding the correct messages app. So the new Samsungs have two messages apps. One is the app from samsung, and the other one is the app from google. Sometimes the people who you are sending messages to, may or may not get your message, because they are not on the Google platform. But if you use the messages app for samsung, to get the message. I was trying to figure out how to ensure I was sending a CMS message versus an rc2 message.

Meal prep. So I cook some of recipes from medical medium and a variety of different other vegetable or fruit based recipes. I bought the ingredients for the soup last week. And been procrastinating. Last night I cooked it. Separated it. And now I have two jars of broth, two jars of the vegetables, and one jar mixed. I am cooking the one jar mixed before my roommate gets off of work, so I have something in my system. Because we're doing Circle tonight.

The weather. I drove home without my coat on, and the sunshine, it was about 2:00 in the afternoon, and there was hardly enough traffic on the road. Usually traffic is really clogged at that time, hardly any traffic. Also I think Wednesday is the day that most people go into work during the week, because that is the busiest day of the three weekdays that I travel, on the roads.

Dr john. Dr John was evil with me today, and I asked for it. Literally told him that he could be mean to me today. My right hip has been bugging me for a couple weeks, it's tightening up, it's laterally pronating my leg, there's a little weakness going on around the knee, because it's all tightening up in the glute. So I'm expecting some beautiful colors tomorrow.
medusahealing: (Nature will never fail you)
a no company day. While I really enjoy it when people visit, this Moon cycle has demanded some more rest than I've experienced in a while.

cloudy days. Cloudy days are excellent say in bed days.

cuddling with cats. Merlin is not our "people" cat, but when he allows me to hold him on his back while he doses is just so precious.

for me and my life. I have my trials, my drama, my love, my anger, my pity party, my friends and family, but I'm the only me.

the weather. I really love the weather.

the weather. I love the ability to open my window during the winter and not freeze my ass off. f

Merlin. My roommate is unfortunately still out of town and he came for cuddles this morning. I purred. I love kitten cuddles with purrs.

off days. I can do things or when I have my period I can not do things.

paying bills. It eases my mind when I am able to pay my bills.

learning new things. It's always interesting what gets into my meditations because I learned something new about my body, subtle bodies, or energy.
medusahealing: (Guilty Pleasures)
my watch. I'm still not quite sure about the Samsung 6, but I'm willing to see if it works for me. If I don't put it on a power save, I have less than a day of power. If I put it on power save I have, depending on how much I turn it on about 2 days of power. So we'll see how it works. If it turns out that the Samsung 6 isn't right for me, but I do like the ambiance of it, I'll get something like the fitbit with a longer power period.

trickster energy. So far today I've had little things happen. The zipper jammed on my chair and I had to spend some time undoing that. Then my zink ball almost fell, and followed by a tipped over bottle of water.

options. I have a variety of different options for meals this week. I'm planning on going out and doing some food shopping.

the weather. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better winter this year.

my cat. She's currently sleeping with your tummy visible and all so restful.

The shoulder on the side of the road. So this afternoon on the way home from work, I was just cruising along in the far left lane waiting to get my exit. Which is a left lane. And all of a sudden some asshole, in the far right lane decided that you know I don't want to be in this lane, I'm going to move, which unfortunately meant that the car in the second lane had to move as well and then the car in the third lane moved into my lane while I was still in that spot, and continue to run me off the road. So I'm very grateful that there was a shoulder there so I could flick him off repeatedly for being an asshole. Then after that, that car that cut me off stayed far enough away from me in the behind. And I calm down, and I realized that you know the only reason he did that, was because someone else that did that to him, and the only reason that person did it, is because the dick on the side. A lot of the anger just went away. There was very Greatful I didn't have to deal with him for the rest of my commute.

Wristbands. So I received some wristbands for my Samsung 6 watch. So I'm able to now wear it. Because I'm a little too big for the wristband at the watch comes with. I am hoping to utilize this tool to help me manage my weight as well as my health. I'm hoping that with this tracking my numbers, it will help me take a walk more often. Or at the very least do some exercises in the morning to loosen me up. And burn some calories.

The C chord splitter that I received. I've bought a couple from five below, and they don't work. But this one does. It's about $7 more expensive than what Five Below has, but it does work. Which is what I looking for. So I will purchase a couple more, because that will enable me to charge my phone while I'm driving and listen with headphones.

The weather. We are forecasted to hit the mid-40s by next week. So whatever gods and goddesses that are sending this weather, or man-made Phenomenon with the seating of weather in the skies, that is bringing this weather, I am very grateful to have this oddball winter.

Cash tips. All my clients left me cash. My middle client actually put a hammer on her venmo. She needs to come in more often. Maybe we can manage what's going on with her jaw if she came in more often.
medusahealing: (Default)
Doing my EFT exercise. So this morning I did not actually read any fanfiction. Usually when I wake up, the first thing I check is my phone. Which I did, I checked my email and I checked High vibe. And then I started my Miracle morning and dismantled my bed.

My morning meditation. I was in the middle of my Joe to spends on morning meditation when I realized that I had not read any fanfiction this morning. Not one thing. Didn't even go look for it. I just started my morning.

Deceptively sunny days. Because even when it's fucking cold outside, it's beautiful. It might not be comfortable, but it is beautiful.

Dandruff of Satan. Apparently we're supposed to get some snow today. At 8° F that is going to be some dry ass snow. But, as long as you know it's coming, Drive safe.

Socks. I slept really well last night. Because my feet were warm.
medusahealing: (Default)
my clients. They are wonderful people.

sunny cold days. They are deceptively beautiful.

hair cuts. I love hair cuts. Even though I wait for my hair to drive me nuts before I get one.

above zero temps. Is always better than below zero temps.

getting things done. It always feels good to get things done.

going home sick on Saturday. It afforded me the time to rest. As I sit here doing my gratitude, my roommate is sleeping away. She was coming down with something on Thursday, but chose to go to Con anyway, and it's hit harder.

waking up on a mission. I went to the library and printed things off, did some vacuuming, refrained from purchasing another cookbook, yeah, totally tempted.

making it to the double digits. We got 10 degrees above zero today.

digging up dead relatives (genealogy humor). I did the 23 and me, but I also uploaded my ancestry information to My Heritage, my cousin and aunt on both sides of my family have been working on the tree. I did it for a while and it's very interesting and fun. It's like putting pieces of puzzle together, but you don't know what it looks like till you get more pieces to the pie.

being able to squeeze DH in tomorrow. But to be honest, I'm not happy about it, mainly the fuel I need to use to get there. When he moved, he was like it's only 15 more minutes up the road. It makes it a 90 minute round trip. I'm not sure if I'm okay with it, which usually means that I'm not okay with it.
medusahealing: (That Moment)
days off. Today was on the fence about allowing my weekly guest to visit, but I enjoy my cousin's company and we learn shit together. It's usually and energy sharing experience. I was feeling a little down from what went on in the weekend, but we had a lively discussion.

positive digits. We weren't forecasted to make it to the positives but we did.

horny cats. My cat is a bit affectionate right now.

warm flannel sheets. They come in really handy in the winter. Since I live in a building that is regulated by radiators, I've learned to have layers. Before I moved here, I slept with heavy blankets. After moving here, and a couple years, I've learned to sleep a bit lighter.

hot showers. I'm planning on renewing something that will require a picture, so I'm planning on taking a shower tonight.
medusahealing: (There is nothing scary about life)
my car starting. This is always a plus and never really guaranteed. We assume, but assumption doesn't mean rock solid.

my energy banks staying relatively moderate to full for my shift. I had just enough for the people I had scheduled at work.

catching up on my notes. Since I went home early yesterday, I didn't do my notes, and that meant I had to catch up on my notes for 3 days instead of 2.

making it to 1 degree F today. We made it to the positive digits.

ginger. Ginger is my friend. It is an awesome buddy when your tummy and digestive track is not happy with you.

the rent being paid in full. My roommate paid the rent yesterday.
medusahealing: (Let it Snow)
My car starting. At -7 today, or this morning. It is always a blessing when your car starts.

That my body temperature is in 102 like it was yesterday. I'm very thankful that the only symptoms I had of my food poisoning was a fever and a diarrhea. I am still eating fruit, not that is a bad thing, but I mean I have to ease back into regular eating as my body recovers.

I have four people scheduled today. I think I'll only be able to do like them. Which is okay, it's not like I call in sick house call like ever. So, there's that.

Living in minnesota. Because God forbid I could be living in Nebraska right now, and I don't want those roads. I would never be able to get to work. But, considering the direction in which I am considering traveling, maybe Mark Nebraska off my list.

Well, my car has made it to C and my temperature gauge which means I can now drive. So I hope everybody has a safe and relatively warm sunday.

Good luck, safe travels, safe journey, good Fortune, a good health.
medusahealing: (It is Free Will that makes us unique)
making the decision to stay home after work. I did some grocery shopping and went home. While I was driving home the "dandruff of satan" started falling. Since it's below 20 degrees this means the dust snow that's just enough of chaos to be a problem.

buying thermal curtains. It's supposed to get chilly and I can already feel it, so I shut the curtains tonight...all of them.

hot showers. Showers are awesome, especially when you're cold.

dining in. Because I've been getting hit by so many clue by fours, I've not been the mood to clean or cook...

water. cause seriously single digits and below zero temps makes for a dry dry world with static electricity.
medusahealing: (Default)
Getting up prior to 4:30. I'm doing better this morning, I don't have this extreme urge to take a nap. My cat woke me up at 4:15 this morning. Because she wanted to drink out of the faucet. That's my own responsibility, because I taught her how to do that.

Remaining in my bed. I get to watch the cats running around like crazy little kittens. I have things to do, and I would rather not wait like I did yesterday.

A potential day off. I currently do not have anyone booked for tomorrow. I had a cancellation on thursday, and the receptionist was able to move my one appointment that I had tomorrow to the Thursday block. So I'm actually fully booked for the week from Thursday to sunday. This is good.

Using this time to come to center. Being busy can be a form of distraction. Looking for things to do, can be a form of distraction. What is important for me today to accomplish?

This new day. To experience in a new way. Maybe.

Hoar Frost from Last January.
medusahealing: (Following a scent in the wind)
My cat. But I am also frustrated with her. I met my goal this week I woke up before 4:30 a.m. it wasn't my alarm that woke me up.

I am grateful for the weather. I am really enjoying the weather. I am really enjoying being able to have my window cracked. Just phenomenally awesome. I am not looking forward to negative 2° next week.

I am grateful for naps. I had a wonderful nap this morning.

I am grateful for the bottle of water that I had next to my bed last night. Because I was thirsty every time I woke up. I didn't realize I drank so much until I looked at it this morning. And it was almost empty.

I am grateful to have my dresser right next to my bed. I am 3/5 dressed. I find it easier to do deep breathing without my bra on. Which is one of the key components to my morning is deep breathing meditation.
medusahealing: (Life is Uncertain)
this day. I didn't eat much, birthday cake from my niece's party. But tonight I didn't feel that I wanted to eat that heavy and had a smoothie.

doing the dishes. They have been like this pile of goo saying "well hello there, we are waiting for attention", "we're not going anywhere, but we can grow", "oh look, we've grown".

doing my daily meditation. It's always interesting to see what comes up.

making it to 3 bottles of water today. My goal is four.

being on my own, it's quiet.
medusahealing: (Life is Uncertain)
I am grateful for audible. Audible to the New Year's cyber Christmas sale. I'm not really sure when this happened. And instead of purchasing some books by this particular author on audible, I purchased physical copies of the books. It has been very enlightening. I don't know if it's because I'm physically reading the book, or that it's resonating with other knowledge that I know. Or feel.

With the teacher of my intuitive classes, she's always stated that yawning is a release. In this book that I'm reading, it mentions that yawning is a signal from the body that it's tapping statement has been cleared. This does not just occur when EFT is tapping. This occurs when you're in a situation, and you're working with other healers and all of a sudden you start yawning. You're not tired, but your body is releasing trapped energy with the yawn. Sometimes it's not important that you know what or how, it's just important that it happens.

I am also grateful for something it says in regards with when we tell ourselves things. The example that she gives is that the subconscious does not hear the word no. When we say I am not going to eat that piece of cake, the subconscious hears, yum! Cake! I'm going to eat a piece of cake! This is why when we tell ourselves we're going to do this tomorrow, tomorrow never comes and we are constantly putting off the things that we want to do tomorrow it's like a procrastination meeting, procrastination meet tomorrow.

I am grateful for having the space to myself. I find it easier to do my personal work, when another person isn't in the house. I'm probably should consider this when considering some of my future goals. There needs to be a space within the place in which I live, that I can be away from people while I do the personal work that I need to do. Or set a time where I am completely unavailable for drama.

I I'm grateful for my love of reading. But because I don't invest in my own time, and avoid it at all cost, I tend not to read the things that really enrich me. I like to read fiction, because it shows me kind of what I would like in my life.

I am grateful to track. One of the things that I really enjoy about tracking habits, is you can be as creative or as minimalistic as you want. I personally like to be creative, I like to include color, and I like to be able to color in or create little diamond shapes throughout my tracking, through color. Because it's almost as much fun to knock them down as sometimes it is to do it with the goal of being able to Market down in color.
medusahealing: (Default)
doing homework. Not just class homework, but my personal homework. Especially with how releasing it can be, as well as enlightening.

getting laundry done. There was a pile of sheets from massage that was higher than the mini shelf and as high as the aquarium, plus we were out of washcloths. It was kinda like being out of socks or underwear, or where is that pen? It needed to be done.

a day off. I'm really grateful for having the day off for my own personal house and personal work.

herbal teas. They don't have caffeine in them and they are warm. Even with our weather as it is, I love herbal teas. I didn't really enjoy teas when I was growing up, but as an adult I have enjoyed them.

kitten cuddles. Even enforced cat cuddles are nice.

A good night's sleep. So I've been utilizing the self healing / healing for others introductory in my sleep. Imagining a gold ball above you. And remembering that you are loved to Cherished and supported, and then having that Divine love shower over you through you and around you while you prep for healing. In which case this case, sleep. That usually knocks me out pretty quick.

Kitten gravity. Because that will probably put me to sleep especially if she stays there.

Meal prep. If I get up and I do it right away after I get up, it seems to go much more smoothly and faster.

This weather. Honestly, I am wholeheartedly behind this cracking of the window in the middle of the winter right now. Looking at the forecast for next week, there's a lot of six. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

The miracle morning. Because if I didn't make a commitment with my cousin earlier this week, I probably would have stayed in bed until 7:00.

my roommate. She decided to go to the mall today. This enabled me to do an Even Steven exchange at Crocs, because I mistakenly ordered a women's size 7 instead of the Men's size 7. I've been waiting to go to the mall till after all the kids went back to school.

push up bras. I don't wear them often, but when I do it's usually because I have shirt or dress that looks better with it.

a new calendar. I ordered one last weekend to replace the one on the wall. It helps me keep track of what's due and what's coming up. I have digital calendar, written, and wall. Each have different focuses.

the weather. Seriously. I'm loving it. It's like 35 degrees out right now.

drumming music. It's really nice and relaxing.

books. I'm taking a book out with me. Hopefully this will keep me of my trouble spots.
