Quite often we go about our daily lives, doing the same old thing in the same old manner. Even when we know that we’re going to get what we’ve always gotten, we can’t seem to pull ourselves out of our rut. In times like this you are stagnating. Like a cesspool of waste water, you are growing – but not good things! Anything dark and dank, kept around long enough, will begin to germinate nasty stuff.I recently overheard someone say that they could find the bad in just about every situation. If we chose to do so, couldn’t we all? We’ll always find what we’re looking for, so do we opt for negativity or positivity? And yes, the choice IS yours. In every situation there are equal and opposite sides. Without the negative you can’t have the positive. Without darkness you will not find the light. Large – small, black – white, Up – down… In all things, there are opposing forces. This is the balance of God, created so that we could choose, for ourselves, the way we wanted to progress – or stagnate. 
Trade-Offs
I’ve recently discussed with a few people, their unhappiness with their current working situations. Seemingly unable, or unwilling, to make a work move they stay in a less than desirable situation. They realize that their work is making them unhappy, not only while at work, but is also in their home life. When one aspect of our lives is out of kilter, it affects its entirety. Imagine your life as if it were a ball – a perfect sphere. Your entire life forms the ball into its perfect shape. When one side of life is not working to your advantage, it’s as if the ball has a flattened side. Your ball wobbles to and fro, but when it encounters the flat side, it will stand still, unable to roll. The one flattened side affects the entire ball, halting the natural roll. The ball becomes unable to perform as it should. [Read more…]
Dust Bunnies
I spent the last two days with my grandson, who is almost 11 months old. What a fun, enlightening, and exhausting two days they were too!
I’m luck to have the ability to take time off work when needed so that I can spend time with my grandson. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. It’s such a joy being able to romp around on the floor discovering things that the average adult would overlook. For instance, when is the last time you crawled under a kitchen table and pretended that it was your fort? When was the last time you tasted a dust bunny?
Well, I admit that I didn’t taste the dust bunny, but I did chase my grandson to the safety under his fort a few times today. I’m not talking about a casual crawl, but a [Read more…]
Life In The Dale, Part 1
Lily Dale, NY that is.
Do you remember the movie Somewhere In Time? If you don’t – a brief synopsis. 
SIT is a sort of mystical and magical love story where Jane Seymore and Christopher Reeve are in different era’s and they’re bound to meet through time and space. Time travel? Teleportation? Not knowing the author’s intent leads me to draw my own conclusions from a Spiritualist viewpoint. Lily Dale reminds me of that movie. Victorian homes in varying colors adorned with intricate gingerbread work, line the narrow streets of this little enclosed town. With meeting halls, churches, an auditorium, a library, gift shops, and even a small cafe or two, this tiny town is a world unto itself.
I’m in Lily Dale, NY this weekend for a few classes and as expected I’ve not been disappointed. Founded in 1879, Lily Dale is the largest center for Spiritualist studies in the world. I try to visit once per summer to re-connect and re-group. I’ve always found very interesting topics to explore and enjoy the tiny town feel – of course the wonderful little gift shops and the beautiful surrounding area help to make my stay memorable.
My classes for this weekend are “The Law of Attraction”, “Ghosts on the Battlefields” and “Ghosts of Gettysburg”. The Law of Attraction proved very interesting and not what was expected, which was nice. Following the teachings of the Monroe Institute, the instructor, Maureen Caudill, introduced what is called the Hemi-Sync technique, which serves to quickly bring you to a deeper degree of a meditative state. Many degrees were explored, from waking state to very deeply under and boy, did we do some pretty deep exploration.
As so many people are hopping on The Law of Attraction bandwagon, I wasn’t sure if this class was going to be more of the same old thing. But, as part of the class description was spoon bending of course I couldn’t resist. No, I didn’t bend a spoon, but I did do a pretty fair job of mangling a fork!
Ghost classes to follow…

Birthing New Wonders: Creating The Life of Your Dreams
There’s no question about it, change is difficult. Even when we are aware that something in our lives is no longer suitable for us, we remain unchanged because we’re more comfortable with what’s familiar. You keep yourself tucked, safe and sound, into something that’s smothering you because you’re a creature of habit.
When you give birth to something, whether it is a child, a creative project, a new business, or an aspect of yourself, you experience labor–birthing pains. Labor is effort, hard work, but if we don’t go through labor we won’t give birth to anything new. The rewards and blessings we receive are worth every second of the pain. We have the ability to forget pain after it has gone, which allows us to keep birthing anew. You’re being inspired, right here, right now, to let something new take place of the old. Look beyond the pain and keep the vision alive.
Are you afraid of labor? If so, ask your angels, spiritual guides and deceased loved ones to be your birth partners. Think about the times in your life when you created or birthed something new that you were proud of. Was the pain worth it? Don’t be afraid of pain. Go into the labor and watch miracles happen.
