Ghost Busters Part 2

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:48:44 -0700

After I wrote my blog on The Mind Virus, http://www.shiftinaction.com/node/6589 Bob Johnston, kindly replied with a suggestion to pay attention to my dreams because it helps with the subconscious mind.

Making a Difference

Thu, 01 May 2008 12:33:22 -0700

Wednesdays are my favorite days. Volunteering at a local elementary school helping 3rd graders read lifts my spirit. Observing each unique personality and the innocence they portray is very healing to my heart.

The Mind Virus

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 22:06:45 -0700

While writing the book I found everyone has an opinion. Some were great while others reflected their own pain. I have taken some opinions personally.

I have learned our minds are like a computer with programming from parents, schools, societies, teachers, churches etc… I wonder how many viruses each programmer infected the mind. This thought created an understanding not to take what others say so seriously, but always be in gratitude for their two cents worth.

Ho ‘O Pono Pono Paid Off

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:49:42 -0800

While practicing Ho ‘O Pono Pono, some interesting awareness came forth. At Christmas, I purchased my husband Biff some new sexy briefs…he told me that he may not like them. Later, Biff wore them and told me he’s very impressed with how comfortable they felt. Then above my head I heard, “I am glad I can do something right!”

Need vs Needy

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:58:14 -0800

“What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.” – Marshal B. Rosenberg, Ph.D

What is the difference between need and needy? Having a need is an expansive interdependent relationship working toward a common goal. All parties involved empower each other to move forward. Trust is built and the foundation is strong.

God Answered: Ho O Pono Pono

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 11:39:21 -0800

In my “Full Circle” blog, I asked, “God, what are you teaching me now?” God answered.

First, I received an email comment from a friend, Christine Riley. She suggested I say “Ho O Pono Pono” because it cleanses the soul and helps reconnect to my inner child. She said the words mean, “I’m sorry, please forgive me, and I love you.”

Full Circle

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 22:13:51 -0800

Fearing night driving, I stretched my limits and drove by myself to a nighttime meeting, regaining independence and rocking my comfort zone. Feeling confident in my driving, I was surprised to see flashing lights in my rearview mirror. “Umm, why is this policeman pulling me over,” I thought, “I’m not speeding, if anything I was extra cautious. God, what are you teaching me now?”

Love don’t Judge!

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 22:14:47 -0800

“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” (Matthew 7:1). The law of attraction is always at work.

Studying A Course In Miracles, I discovered a mantra to help me when I realized how much I judged people and situations. I told myself, “love, don’t judge”. Other people told me they also have a hard time with judgment. Is judging an epidemic, creating an insanity of the mind?

Children are our Teachers

Sat, 01 Dec 2007 19:58:13 -0800

“Courage is walking in God’s LIGHT Mom!”

Preston persisted, “Mom, go to the elementary school and just sit among children.”

Resisting his wisdom with my health, immune system issues and dread, I denied his plea. Healing my grief has happened in the spiritual realm, but I feel a void not having a physical child around me. But the anticipation of walking into a school of children created emotional upheaval about the life I missed.

It Is Never What It Seems

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 11:45:25 -0800

“I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true. I‘am not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what LIGHT I have.” Abraham Lincoln

Our true nature is learning to no longer attach to form or identity, just be pure unconditional love, to glorify God’s light to the world. Love will ultimately lead me to my shining destination within, true authentic success!

Chemical Imbalance Vs Breath Imbalance

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 21:08:00 -0700

Is there a possibility we have a breath imbalance? Is this what Western Medicine labels as a chemical imbalance? Doctors have begged me and even fought with me to take anti-depressants for the grief of Preston. I refused. Preston tells me, the drugs will kill me because my liver cannot take anymore.

Déjà vu

Fri, 07 Sep 2007 14:07:35 -0700

A ringing phone woke me from a sound sleep. My Caller ID read “Lisa”, a dear friend. Ah, what a lovely way to wake up. “Hello Lisa, how are you sweetheart?” She paused, and then she hysterically cried, “My brother Johnny and nephew Jonah were killed last night. Another driver crossed into their lane and hit them head-on! They were killed instantly, along with the other driver.” Am I dreaming? I already lived this nightmare once and now again, déjà vu… replaying the memories.

Hollow & Empty

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 11:45:04 -0700

In the bliss of expansion, nothingness embraced me. “Ah,” I thought, “finally peace. I am Home.”

Suddenly, an unpleasant surprise, a sting across my face and the nurse yelling, “Don’t die!” She slapped me over and over, awakening me from the sanctuary of silent stillness I yearned for my entire life.

A Magical Masterpiece

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 10:42:34 -0700

Last fall Marianne Williamson came to Boise, Idaho to speak. We purchased tickets without hesitation. What a gift for us, and a wonderful way to spend our 23rd wedding anniversary.

Magical sequences suddenly regularly appeared. First, my friend Peggy McColl read my book and told me she wanted me to meet Marianne, who was a friend of hers. Unfortunately, it did not happen. Accepting the possibilities of not meeting Marianne Williamson, I surrendered into God’s Hands.

Cell Memory

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 07:58:24 -0700

Often, during the past eight years since the wreck, pain pours in, seizing my body, an alarm clock waking my cells. The July 24 anniversary date of our wreck is hard because of the grief. I continue to heal my mind and heart but my cells remember the wreck as if it happened yesterday. Adding the extra layers of my other experiences can be quite challenging.
