Faithful Friends

While chatting it up last night with one of my oldest friends, in terms of years of knowing, wrote this to me:

I know you will LOVE what you discover about yourself. We all see it! -- G.Z.

What do they see?

I find myself apologizing. I have not been nice to myself. For a very long time, I've been on a two-way street of misalignment. And I resisted traveling towards any dreams I had beyond what was expected of me by others. I'm learning how very important this elusive thing called Self-Love is. To be your own mirror that allows the reflective force to be the Source within you. To embrace the As Is of you with thoughts of what Will Become brewing in the Now.

I'm getting there.

On another blog, I mentioned that I keep this small 'note to self' on my writing desk: Seek ye first the wisdom of You within.

My little twist on an old standard. Writing it to myself when it was least true in me with the hopes it would become all of me.

So, I think it wise to use this time to offer up love to those of you following me. You don't have to but you chose to. I mentioned to Leah, through a comment in one of the blogs, that I'm writing this for myself. I follow several blogs. I enjoy commenting on the wonderful thoughts and notions people have of themselves and the world. I'm inspired often. I'm catching up on years of quiet thoughts that went unheard because I believed I was not in a place to voice them or that they were not important enough to be heard. Now, here I am. Here, like always, by accident. This blog simply sets an intention and opens a frequency to those even remotely within my wave-range to tune in. In those same comments to Leah, I mentioned how very grateful I was for my three followers. Imagine my delight in now having nine!

You, just hanging around reading here and there, are helping me to clarify what I see in the mirror. Life IS Good...because you're reflected in it.

Love & Blessings & A Big Bear Hug





(I'm totally buying myself that bear for Valentine's Day :)(K...Update: I didn't buy the bear but I did come down with an awful head cold that allowed for some much needed

time...the Universe, my most faithful friend, has given me some serious love. :)!

Best Mommy Category

Behold, an "award" from my daughter inspired by Club Penguin (if you run your cursor over the Yellow penguin you'll see we have much in common) and by this Red Carpet raillery at this year's Grammy night.

She was not about to honor a past request for her version of Ukulele Boy but felt a sketch honoring her Mom was do-able...to my great fortune. She's been drawing since she was 6 months old. That's when she began sitting well. One of her sisters put paper next to her and shoved a crayon in her hand and she never looked back though she did fall over a few times. Her current passion is Toontown characters. She will study their form for hours either by way of playing the game or going to YouTube and selecting certain videos that allow for clarity when paused. I know this only because I've spied on her. She keeps most of her drawing locked away for no one to see. She has allowed me to share a few but, much like her mother, knows a few critics in the outside world have a way of imposing themselves on creativity. But, unlike her mother, she has a great deal more confidence in her ability and voices her need for her "Me" time. She makes time for her passion. After a few chores, of course.

Meet You At Three...

I don't mean to alarm you, but I think you may be in a light hypnotic trance* right now. It's possible that the thrumming hum of your routine has shut down some of your normal alertness, lowering your awareness of certain situations that you really need to tune in to. Let's do something about this! When I count to three, you will hereby snap out of your daze and become fully awake. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3. Now look around you and get yourself more closely in touch with your immediate environment. Make an effort to vividly see and hear and smell everything that's going on. This will have the effect of mobilizing your subconscious mind. Then, for a period of at least five days, you'll have a kind of X-ray vision. -- Rob



*This clip is in honor of my eight year old who, while in diapers, would come to me with anything that would swing and say, "You're getting sleepy" and I would close my eyes and snore a little. Right when she thought I was in my deepest sleep she would get near my face and snort like a pig to "startle" me awake then run off giggling.

Wow...I miss that.
