Sh– Happens

Published May 30, 2012 by Phoenix

Sh** happens and it’s the best fertilizer

- for plants and life circumstances.

Whether

  • compost
  • events/change
  • manure

plant in hand

How are you using the fertilizer of life?

Was just thinking a thought and thought I’d share it.

“Mumbler!” ((quote by Johnny Depp in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory))

When our vision is clear,

Our message is clear,

Our heart’s clear,

and our life gets brighter.

“Mumbler!?”

Sometimes it is easier to mumble and keep our paths cris-crossing, to keep ourselves in the dark, shifting back and forth between our stories. We know though, innately where our path is. Where the light is. When we’re willing to step toward our ‘rightness’, our world opens up and life gets easier.

Doesn’t mean there won’t be learning curves, lessons and challenging opportunities. It just means when you keep your vision before you, what needs to be in your path to make it possible, will be.

 

Ask for Help

Published May 24, 2012 by Phoenix

It is OK to get help as you make changes in your life.

Doing it all on your own is a burden you were never meant to bear.

Man with arrows

Don’t have to carry it all alone.

Sometimes, most of the time, we try to ‘handle it ourselves’ when in fact, getting outside assistance can move us along our path much more quickly. We heal faster. We process faster. It keeps depression at bay.

There is love, friendship, advice available whether old school person to person conversations are needed or if you find it via the internet.

Ask. Seriously. Bite the bullet and start asking. You’ll be led until you get the answers you seek.

Dreams

Published May 18, 2012 by Phoenix

Dreams are what our world is made of.

Trains, planes and automobiles…fashion and homes and decor.

Someone dreamed it.

What are you dreaming of today?

What dreams?

All things we create, write, paint, sculpt.

To this end, what are you dreaming of today that will change your life or the lives of others?

 

HOO-RAH is not Hoo-ha

Published May 17, 2012 by Phoenix

HOO-RAH is not Hoo-ha, so no

HOO-HA is not

“what they say in the Army.”

Conversation with 12 year old daughter.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Happy Magic Love Dust *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

giggle

She said what?

My daughter was trying to say, “horror” and with our Southern tongue it came out rather like, “hawr-er” which cracked me up and as she tried to pronounce it several more times ended up somehow saying, “Hoo-ha”.

Um…

Lots of laughing in the carpool line…

um…

“Honey, don’t say that at school because hoo-ha is your ……….”

“Oh. I thought that’s what the Army said.”

Laughed so hard my sides hurt!

“No, Honey. That is Hoorah, not hoo-ha!”

Bwahahahaaaaaaa

Loneliness and Love

Published May 15, 2012 by Phoenix

“Loneliness is the inability to give or express love.” [not an exact quote please see the link below for the full post]

by blogger Waverider1 – wordpress

Express it first to with self and the world will follow.

Heart on Sea

Love from within.

I’ve been reading the blog: Daring to Live in Love Weeks 1-8. This one took me by surprise and made so much sense of all I’ve sought throughout my life which has been to share my love, to give my love to ‘someone’. Of course, I can give it to many someone’s on many different levels under many labels. So can you.

If, however, we do not first look within to love ourselves, our weak scary parts and our dangerous parts and our wandering parts, we cannot give our love to another.

Take a chance.

Love yourself first.

You will always be there.

Others will come thereafter and your world will blossom.

Love within and from within ;)

Not a Good Time

Published May 14, 2012 by Phoenix

There isn’t really a good “When the time is right” moment for bad news.

…which totally sucks!

justsayin’

Happy Magic Love Dust *~*~*~*~*~*

good bad dice

Sometimes there is not good time.

I was thinking about all the tough situations my friends are in. So many decisions go into their day to day lives, (mine & me too), which makes their lives better for their children, their relationships and work lives.

Sometimes, when it comes to changes for our children, our relationships or our work lives, it is hard. Hard to broach subjects that might not make us or them very happy as we shift through the changes that our needs, desires, decisions might bring. How do we breach that wall that separates us from where we must go for peace and where we stand gripped in fear?

Strength of understanding and that innate knowing that will not let go until we move into our truth. When we look back from the other side of that scary mess we thought we had before us, usually it really wasn’t that bad. We ended up arriving, (usually) alive. We end up holding the hands of people we trust, seek truth from those with knowledge, who’ve experienced similar situations.

Unless you’re in an abusive relationship, opening your mouth is always the best thing. For you, your children, every moment of you.

Forgiveness…hmmm

Published May 10, 2012 by Phoenix

Forgiveness.

Hmmm.

Of others, pretty easy.

Of self..

…not so much.

Changing that.

You?

It’s harder to forgive ourselves…

Yeah. So much about forgiveness all over the web.

Of others and of ourselves.

I really don’t feel like repeating it here. So… I forgive myself the laziness and you for not going to look it up either.

 

Say Nice or Nothing

Published May 9, 2012 by Phoenix

“When you don’t have anything nice tow say, say nothing at all.”

Someone pissed in my cornflakes this morning.

I’m taking the advice.

Ever happen to you?

CornFlakes

“Someone p*** in my cornflakes”

Seriously. Weird week. Coincidence and incidents that have me steaming. This  morning, one more cornflake too many.

What did I do about it? I made phone calls for facts. Posted to the offenders Facebook wall & quietly waited for the smoke to clear. (Did not attack the offender on FB). I was in some deep doo-doo already, time’s two because of the offender. There was a solution, one I don’t like & had to do, which resolved the problem post-haste.

The offender apologized. I took down the Facebook post & then there was another mix up this afternoon all because of a single, “I will get mine” moment by the person who I’d given my debit card number to for services rendered, although products aren’t yet in my hand.

I learned a valuable lesson(s) today.

  1. Know when every single autodraft is due to be removed from your accounts.
  2. Don’t forget a single one of your autodrafts.
  3. You can be nice, be firm, say no.
  4. Unless you’re dead, chances are, your ‘big issue’ can be resolved or as another saying goes:

“When one door closes, others come open”…or something like that.

Are you willing to resolve an issue, not just because you have to be right, but because it is the safest, whether emotionally, physically or financially for you…without making a huge nasty fuss about it? When you can remove your emotions & be a little more logical, I’m guessing you can :)

Ostrich

Published May 7, 2012 by Phoenix

SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE GIVING UP AND HIDING IN A HOLE!!!

What would be the point though?

So…

Happy Magic Love Dust *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ostrich

What’s the point of hiding?

Couple of things on my plate lately that just seem overwhelming and by golly, I really just want to go hide & curl up in a ball and blink out of existence for a little while. Doesn’t and wouldn’t resolve anything though.

My brother’s response to the morning HMLD was, “You’ll end up with an ostrich stuck in your butt.” His point, can’t go hiding in a hole – that’s for species specific. Needless to say, his response cracked me up and lightened the dark cloud hanging about my psyche.

Are you always trying to hide? Why? Why not get on with it, no matter how heavy the burden may be. Might take a while, but the burden will lighten. Proof is in the history of all things great.
