Lost Again

I really looooove me some fiction. Especially easy to read, fun stories. I also seem to have this thing about vampires. Apparently, I'm not the only one because there are so many books out there.

Lately have been lost in the Twilight series. It was recommended to me by several friends I trust. I must admit, I'm enjoying it immensely. Therefore in this series, and each book runs about 600 pages. It's not unusual for me to read an entire book at a time. These are too much for even me. I'm really enjoying the content, plot, and characters, though.

Right now I'm in book three, Eclipse. I'm on page 400 something, and tired of the preparations for what ever battle. I'm frustrated and taking a break. Anyway, it's taking up a lot of my time. I'm also really tired.

That's it! They've sucked me dry!

Be prepared for Mercury Retrograde

This is an update from Moonology.com. Yasmin happens to be Australian, and I have found her to be very accurate.

Be prepared for Mercury Retrograde


You may well have heard the term Mercury Retrograde.

This phenomenon occurs 4 times in 2009, the first time lasts from 11th January till the end of the month.

Mercury does not actually move backwards but appears to do so from our viewpoint on Earth, as when a fast train passes a slower train, the slower one appears to go backward, when viewed from the faster train.

Mercury is all about communication and our aptitude for understanding the world around us. This is an ideal time for reflection, not the best time to act without first looking back over or reflecting on past actions that could well affect what you may be contemplating or proposing in the near future.

Mercury is all about the way we take in information and communicate it to others. It is therefore important for you to understand fully which sign of the Zodiac your Mercury is placed, and the way you utilize this important part of your personality.

Best wishes,

Not So Daily

Apparently, I'm not doing a great job keeping up with this blog. Maybe that's what happens when you keep multiple blogs going.

I'm on day two of a migraine. This sometimes are more subtle, however I think I'm making it worse by trying to work on the computer. I have enough Type A in me that a ton of emails and an almost complete (now finished) website have made me masochistic. Joy.

It's hard to believe that two weeks ago I was giving someone advice on how to help their own migraines. I don't have them often. Really. Excedrin really takes the edge off. By the way, Excedrin and Excedrin Migraine have the exact same ingredients, so it doesn't matter which one you buy. (Yeah, I'm a label reader.)

I've been told that I fit the archetype of the "wounded healer. "

Who is The Wounded Healer? Many articles and books have been written about 'The Wounded Healer.' It is the person who has gone through suffering, sometimes great, and as a result of that process has become a source of great wisdom, healing power and inspiration for others. In fact, the archetypal wounded healer undergoes a transformation as a result of their wound, their suffering and pain. They can actually transcend it, and successfully lead themselves to a path of service. It is as if the wound itself helps you drive yourself to an inner journey that becomes the transformation itself. One strips away the selfish, ego-based feeling of being all alone in our wound and expands to see others and how if one chooses a different role, one can help.

The Wounded Healer is often the Victim - He who must suffer the wounds of life to understand. Do you set yourself up to be a victim?

There are many wounded healers that we all know, once we start to think about it. Christopher Reeve, 'Superman', became paralyzed and is now a champion in fighting and researching how to cure such spinal paralysis. Lance Armstrong has continued to win cycling tournaments and is a fundraiser for cancer. They have gone beyond their illness and suffering, and it does not define them, despite the fact that their wound might still be visible.

So here I am. Again. At least I have chiropractic and Reiki scheduled for tomorrow.

Interesting thought about language this morning

Interesting thought about language this morning.

"so we don't have to worry"

Energetically speaking, that's a double negative.

To create positive energy, I would change it to read:

"so we feel safe and secure"

Now it's energetically a double positive.

Meditation du Jour

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
