Dec23/2021 So Here's the Deal

 

    They are doing a skit so that the contestant has a clue to what's  in the big box on Let's Make a Deal. After the skit the host asks the contestant what do you think is in the big box. He says a sleigh going down a hill fast and 1 ski  breaks off . The host Brady says what?  Contestant says he's detail oriented.  After all that he selects the big box. He was offered a bunch of money not to take the box.  So behind the big box is a zonk sleigh.  So if your mind starts off with a negative scenario  for heaven sakes, listen to it and you won't  end up with a zonk  sleigh. 

    Another contestant wins a 21,000  car  on the show  at the end of show, Brady asks each contestant who has the most expensive prize if they want to try for the big deal. This big deal is worth 21,500 . Yep she goes for the big deal.  She has to give up the car. Brady says why did you do it. She said we watch the show religiously and we said if we ever had a chance to get to the big deal, we would take it. Her prize was worth 3,500, she lost  about 17,000 dollars for a conviction. That's a big WOW.    Watch out for your rigid convictions they just might lead you astray.

    Finally it's  the big deal of the day again.  The gal  picks door 2 because she has 2 kids. I try to see which door the big dealis behind. I don't  feel anything in either door. So I say to myself I will try to see a green light over the door. In my mind I select door 1, for sec  I see a green sliver of light very small.  I do the same for door 2. Nothing comes. Door 3, nothing comes. I pick door 1. Was it door 2 the number of kids she has. Nope, nada it was door 1.

    If you don't  see a sign then help it along by doing something that I did.  See above paragraph.  It can pertain to any event that's happening  in your life NOW.

Dec 21/2021 41.01

 

    That's  the amt the insurance company needed to not cancel my auto insurance. And yesterday was the last day to make good on it.  Just great. Couldn't  make a deal with them. 41.01 or cancelled.  Moved some money between accounts  brought my balance to 20.00. Needed another 21.00. Looked in my desk drawer where I keep a little cash.  Found 22.00. And that was it. Just enough, ran it to the bank and made the payment that day. I asked God for help and I got it.  Living like this is no fun. But I'm  gratefull for God's  help. I got to make things better in 2022. Had to contend with not working for long periods of time and illness. Gratefull that God got me through this year.

    I'm bigtime gratefull  for the scientists who got us the vacine for covid and all the people that expended energy in this direction. Without them there would have been far more deaths. Those who are not gratefull,  well,  they will have to suffer the consequences of their actions or inactions.

    Were all connected via spirit. We should all strive to uplift ourselves and others on our individual journeys. To those who would obstruct,  try to move around them and continue to push onward. Relying  on spirit will make the trek a little less slippery.

Dec20/2021 Don't Trip

 

    You tell a loved one....don't  trip. You say it because you want to protect that person.  In realty it is a warning that you project on others that is really meant for you.

    One winter day I find myself getting hit in the rear on a  city bridge.  1500 bucks to fix this. The gal slid on ice into my rear. She tells me that her young daughter wanted to run the errands. The mother says no  not with these road conditions.  I'm  the the more seasoned driver , you will get in an accident. Oops.  I would have liked to be a fly on a wall, when she told her daughter how her day went.

  So please don't  trip when you go about your day.

Dec 15/2021 Minor Karma

 

    Last Sunday I'm at the Dollar General. Hand over my big plastic bag toilet paper to the cashier. I tell him about the dollar off sale. He says you have to be registered on the app to get the deal. But he says he will fix it for me this time. So instead of 9 dollars I'll be paying  8. Take my other items to the car thinking to myself wait a minute that's  too high. Go over the receipt. Yep I paid 9.00 initially then 8 dollars. So it cost me 17.00 dollars for tp. Go back in. We go over ticket. He counts the disinfectant wipes as 2 dollars each,  I say no it's  1 dollar.  He finally sees his mistake. So I get refunded the 8 dollars instead of 9. So they took back my dollar savings.

    Monday.  I stop at a pizza shop and get a slice passing on the fountain beverage that would cost me 2.50. Take the slice in a bag and walk into next door WAWA. I find only 1 can if coke slightly dented.  I say to guy why no cans of soda,  he says were closing up for good, take the 2nd can there, they're  free. We look the second can isn't  there. So I got a free can of soda that costs about 1.06.  So I got my dollar back from yesterday. Pretty cool ....right?

    Now back to Let's  Make a Deal. The gal feels to her to take the envelopes and she does. The other 2 contestants  that are part of the deal wind up getting nice prizes. The gal is up next. Hold on to your envelopes or go for the curtain. She goes for curtain. Envelope 1 is 500 dollars, the second one is 750 dollars and wait for it ... it also has a 12,000 dollar trip to England. Her curtain yep a zonk. Worth 0 dollars. Back to the beginning  , the keyword was  (it felt). That was spirit. To access spirit feel for it. Chalk it up to her evolvement in moving forward.

Dec06/2021 Visualization

 

    Yes it's back to Let's  Make a Deal.  It's the final game of the day. Door 1,2 or 3. The wife does a quick visualization which she tells the audience. In her visualization  she sees a gold ring above the number 1. She also turns to her husband and says You are my number 1. Her pick door 1.

    She got a great trip and a brand new car for her and her husband. It was the big deal of the day.

    You too can have this experience. Using visualization can help in acquiring your goals in life. Goals that will bring happiness to your life. Anybody with a good heart will have success. There maybe setbacks to deal with but carry on til you get over the obstacle. Visualize  God as your cheer leader and ask for his help.

Nov30/2021 In the Bank

 

    Let's  make a deal game. The game is no complaining. Contestants can steal another's prize. Contestants one picked a Vespa scooter. Contestant two took contestant ones scooter. Contestant one got contestant two's  box. Which was a trip to Chicago. Contestant 3 could steal either 1 or 2s prize, but she couldn't do it. Didn't  feel right to her. She stuck with her curtain,   which was a zonk.

    She had a low earning job giving back to the community.  So you would think she should get a good prize. But in life there is this invisible  bank that holds your   good karma.  Maybe she didn't  get the good stuff this time around but further down the road at the most opportune time it will be released  to her. So I'm  writing this blog and it is now time for the big deal of the day. Curtain  1,2 or 3.  I look up,  blank my mind and pick curtain 1. and real quick go back to writing. It was curtain 1.  When making the curtain decision, I did it in a nonchalant  way.  Not in an earnest manner. Be loose. Not trying to make it happen.

Nov29/2021 Never Ever Say These Words

     I want to DIE.  Don't  put alot of emotion into this exclamation. No matter what happened to you. A woman I knew of did this and her health took a turn downward within the year.  Her health became debilitating.  

    When things don't  go right in your life, focus on making it better. Let the emotion out but not on others.  Yell, scream break something.  It is better than holding it in where it can do real damage to you.  For your mental health you have to get the focus off of yourself.  You can try to volunteer your time to the needy.  Hopefully you will regain your balance.

    Your emotions can  KILL  you. Mental health is a priority  in order to have a chance of a productive good life.

    When in a dire state,  use spirit, ask it to help you with your problem. Pay attention  to any source of info, it can come from any direction.  Every day look for that answer. It may take some time.

Nov/22/2021 Again... it's Another Deal

 

    Back to Let's  Make a Deal.  The couple have a shot on winning a car.  They have 2 nice big prizes in their pocket. There are 5 cards on the table, one of them is the car.  Two of them are zonks where you take home nothing. The other are 2 money cards worth together 1500. 1 out of 5 to get car. Not good odds. The wife doesn't want to go for it. The husband says this morning I saw on the street a brand new car. Color was blue.  That was a waking dream.  The wife defers to the husband. They go for it.  5 is their lucky number.  And thats where the car was.  Yes it was blue.

    The husband attributed it to faith. I concur.  At end of show they keep their car and don't  go for the big deal. To go for the deal,  the car would be taken from them. I close my eyes and push out thoughts that come to me. I picture door 1, 2 and 3 and ask what door is the big deal. I hear one. I pick door 1 and that was the big deal  worth 31,000 dollars.

.   If you have a big decision to make,  you can try this method for yourself.

Nov/19/2021 Up the Roof Without a Ladder

     

     I was doing some work on the house. I put a ladder up against the gutter of a carport. Once on the roof, I continued up the roof to get to the wall of the main building. Once on the roof I looked back at the ladder  and thought I hope it doesn't fall.  I went up the ladder several times and no problems. It started to get dark out, so I said to myself two more minutes and I will go down. I heard a muffled thump. Turn around no ladder. Just great.

    Lucky for me I had my phone. I called my neighbor and lucky for me he picked up the phone. He was over in 2 minutes to set the ladder back up. It's  a very light ladder and strong made of magnesium. Being light the wind took it down. But I had my warning and didn't  act on it. Dumb. Now I cord my ladder to a gutter spike so it stays on the gutter.

    As long as we can remember our mistakes. There is hope for us. And that applies to every aspect of our life.

Nov/12/2021 Which Way from Here

 

     If you don't  have God as your beacon. You will most surely  flounder in the darkness.

     Some people pray or hope for the best.  Others try to stay positive.  To me it's  an ask. Your looking for divine guidance.  Does your predicament  get resolved pronto,  probably not. But you do hope so. Stay focused on that problem and try to solve it yourself,  all along  looking for markers or signs from spirit in helping you to get to your desired goal.   You have to have sticktuvidiness.

    God sits on the sidelines watching you on the field of life. It's usually when you make the ask that God sends divine spirit to your aid. It's  when we get in trouble that we resort to the ask. When things are good were content. When things are bad. Well thats another story.  God can send help in a split second or the aid will come more slowly for a definite reason. If you want grace from God,  you have to give grace to his people. And we are all his people.  If we don't  know how to handle a particular person, we can ask God to help us in dealing with that individual.

    Negative people are like b a d apples, just one can spoil the whole bunch. One negative person can destroy a group consciousness. One person talking bad about someone else infects the others and then others start thinking negative about that person as well.  Adding their negative comments to the discussion as well. When you find yourself in this situation you can say to them,    everyone has their own particular circumstances from which they base their actions,   then take your leave from the group.

    Life is Tuff. Some things seem unfair, but you have to push on.  Learn the lesson so you don't  have to repeat it again.  Set yourself goals and then set out to complete them. I didn't  do this and to this day I suffer the consequences.  Definitely not a good feeling. 

    Do the ask.  Spirit is at your service.

Nov/08/2021 Iron Maiden

     A couple  weeks ago I read an article about how too much iron can give you dementia supposedly.  The last several months, I noticed that I was getting a little more tired toward the end of the day. Two Saturdays  ago I'm  driving past a trailer store. One of the trailers has a word  on it in yellow letters, iron dog , it read.  Were going to the mall and I notice the word iron again, but forget where I saw it on. The second mall I went to had a store in it Forever 21. The female mannequin is wearing a white tee with a picture and above the picture is the band name Iron Maiden.

    What does this mean I thought for awhile. I got it, it means to take an iron supplement. A week later I'm  walking in Wallmart and pass the vitamins. Looking for another product  but then I remember the iron. Go back and pick up the iron supplement. After a week I noticed a little more less tiredness.

Nov/05/2021 Bent Wrist

 

    I've  been noticing for awhile that my wrists and back of my hands would hurt then it would go away.  One day I said I'm  going to try and fix this. Four months later my ailment here is now greatly reduced.

    I sit in my office chair in the morning. It has arm rests. I put my elbows on the arm rests and clasp my hands together. My fore arms are raised at 45 degree angles. My finger tips press against  the back of each hand. I rock my hands to the right and back to the left. I rock my wrists back and forth for a total of 400 flexes. Takes about 3 minutes. My wrists are stronger now and hardly anymore pain. Took 4 months and I do it every day. If you can't  do 400 start with 50 and work  your way up to 400.  For me it was worth it.

Nov/04/2021 More.... Let's Make A Deal

 

     One male contestant wants to win a trip and it's  his anniversary.  He chooses the trip envelope over the curtain.  Curtain had over 4,000 dollar prize, he missed out on. The trip envelope had a zonk trip.

    The next gal up gets asked what is your dream trip, she says Italy.  She doesn't  travel outside her city too often.  Box or curtain is her choice. She says first I have to channel. Brady asks channel what and she says my higher self. She then says I think she's  (her higher self)  saying take the box.  She doesn't  take the curtain,which most people would choose. She gets the trip allright. Over 10,000 dollar trip to not Italy but to London.

    I'm  not saying ,everything comes up roses but it can work. Take the good when it comes your way. Because the bad can come to you as the days go by. Be kind, costs nothing,  but reaps rewards, being kind invites future kindness to come back to you.

    The gal who won the London trip decides to go for the big deal, she has to give up the trip.  Single mother with 10 yr old.  I tried to guess door, as I'm  setting up the scenario in my mind I feel curtain 3 before I finished getting ready  to make pick. I think oh that came too quick. So I was second guessing it. I said stop, it's  three. She picks 1 because her son said to pick it if she found herself on the big deal of day.      The car was behind  curtain  3. Big deal of the day.

Oct/22/2021 Too Much Focus

 

    Thats  what happened to a guy in England.  The girlfriend bought some lottery tickets at the local store using the same numbers they always  use. They forgot about the tickets around the 45 th day they remember and see the winning numbers posted at that store, their numbers. They  run home but can't  find the ticket.  Over there they get 45 days to make a claim. So there is video of her getting the ticket, but the host company won't  payoff on the ticket. Even Tony Blair tries to help the couple to no avail. The gal wants to forget it and move on. But not our hero, who won't  let it go. After months  and months of fighting between the two, she gave up on the relationship. Months and months after that he has a lawsuit ready to go but then he finds out if he loses suit he has to pay their legal fees. In the hundred of thousands of dollars. He drops the lawsuit.

    He looks back on what he has,  the love from his family. And other benficial supports that make his life good.  Yes there is much to be thankfull for. But he had a big loss with the exit of his girlfriend. He needed this experience to educate himself on what is really important in his life.

Oct/212021 Tooth Fairy

 

    I used to get about 50 cents under the pillow for 1 tooth.  Didn't save the money, spent the silver.  BAD move on my part.  Bad habit, still affects me to this day.  Not  saving money.

    Had a bridge fall out the end of spring.  Didn't  do anything  about it.  Last week started to get minor pain in that broken tooth just even with the gum. By night time it started to hurt worse. Went for the aspirin.  At 3 am, I call my doctor, it's  the nighttime doctor,, for some amoxicillin to treat the infection.  Leave message for the nighttime doctor. He doesn't  call back. Ask God to help me get back to sleep and I'm  able to do so. Check my phone again, no response. So I call again at 8am Sunday. He calls back in 10 minutes. He calls in my meds and I take pill at 12.  It's an infection  because left side of my face is swelled up. Call my dentist, he wants 400 dollars , call another place I know its 300 and they can take me on Tuesday morning.  OK I say. Get there the x-ray is 100 dollars. The tech says next apt  tomorrow  at 8 am if not then its Nov19th. I say how about now she says no, then I say ok tomorrow  at 8am.  So the doctor happens to be passing my room and hears what I said, she comes to the open door and says no I can do him now. The tech says she put me down for 8, the doc says no get him ready. THANK-YOU spirit! Spirit brought that doc near my door at the right precise  time. It would of been harder for me coming in at 8 the next day. The quicker I got that tooth out the better for me. This is spirit working in your life at opportunistic  moments. Beautiful.

    It was just a little maneuver that made things go right for me. It truly is a blessing. You want something done, then push it along and spirit will give you that little helping hand at the last moment. By having a very good experience in your life with spirit's help, will help boost your trust in spirit making it a better life for you. When you get home, write down the experience in your  journal. 

Oct/15/2021 Nothing Ventured

 

    Nothing gained. That about sums it up in a nut shell.  It's  about taking risks to make your life more enjoyable. Having a great goal is where it starts. I didn't  learn this to well. I was told about it. But I didn't  listen,  to my detriment.  If you want to take a risk, you can move slow. If your looking to change your job, stay with the old job until your ready for the big move. Plot your moves carefully, check things out throughly.  Then make the move. When one door gets slammed in your face look for another  door.  Always keep the goal in focus. See your self in the future with you possessing  the goal.  Do it with small and large goals. Maybe start with a small goal first and see how long it takes you to get it.  Write down your endeavors  in a journal and date it. Me I let the wind blow me around. I did get many experiences however. Which is good.  All lessons are to the good of your unfolding. Lessons learned make you smarter. When your smarter your happiness quotient  goes up.  And there is no top line for getting smarter. There is no finish line. It continues to go on and on. We have a choice to enjoy are lessons or to be miserable with the given lesson. Whats great about life is that we have free will and can get out of any particular situation. If a one situation keeps repeating in your life it's  because you didn't  learn the lesson yet.  So learn it, then move on.

    When people say it can't  be done. Dig in your heels and proclaim it shall be done. You are the one that sets the table. Show what you can do to them and most of all to yourself.  One thing I found is if you have too many irons in the fire, the goal acquiring  drops down.  Focus is what it takes and being relentless but not at the cost of someone else's  loss. Be kind and determined.

OCT/13/21 It's Time To Leave

 

    This post is for you women out there.  Say your in a relationship. Then one day,  your in a situation with your partner that is trending negative.  Bad vibes in the air.  First try to deescallate the argument.  Take a deep breath think and calm yourself. Then choose your words carefully,  don't add fuel to the fire. Say the argument gets real heated, once he touches you in an aggressive  manner, try to move away from him while staying calm and try to say short sentences with long pauses in between. Once your away from that encounter it's time to  drop him permanently. No second chances if you want to have a better life. It's  not good to be a needy person.  It's  like shopping  for a dress, you don't  buy the first one you grab off the rack.  You grab several and try them on. Do that with the boyfriends.  It also works with husbands, if they hit you, go to a shelter. These people will guide you out of your predicament.

    If the argument is getting real bad, you call on spirit for it's intervention.  Do that immediately. It could literally  save your life!

9/29/2021 Help is on the Way

 

    An incident occured in India some years ago. A woman surfer would go to different locals around the Indian ocean in search of adventure.  She was successful most of the time until she got kidnapped. Sometimes her friends wouldn't hear from her for several weeks.  But one of her friends had a dream that she needed help. The person acted on the dream and contacted authorities in India. Soon she was rescued.  So it was the dream that set things in motion and the foresight of the dreamer to act on it. This is the power of Dreams. Pay attention to your dreams and see how they relate to your life.

9/27/2021 A Laugh

    Back in the day I used to read the newspaper. I'd turn to the comics looking for a laugh. Now a days,  I look no further than the internet news, to get my laughs. Laugh of the day. This evangelica pastor told his tv congregation the reason Jesus hasn"t come back to earth is because the flock has not donated enough money. So funny, what a hoot.

9/27/2021 Dream Cream

     So yesterday, I go to the store on shopping errand. I'm almost done. The last item is wet ones which is a hand sanitzer. I'm waiting on a sales lady to ask where the items are. The second guy asks her where the eucerin is which is a cream. I say to myself wow. That was the 1 item my gal needed that wasn't on  her list.  She forgot.  But spirit did not forget.  So I followed them to the cream.  This is what they call a waking dream.  Spirit made my life a little bit easier.   Thanks spirit.

9/27/2021 Assault

    Recently, on the internet a woman asked her audience of women. Stand up if you know of anyone including yourself that was sexually assaulted. Almost everyone stood up. She then said how many of you reported it to authorities, stay standing. All but 6 were left standing. That is    Mega sad.

   This is why developing a bond with spirit is so important. When you feel threatened you will be able to call on spirit for it's assistance.  Then look for that guidance and act on it. After you had this experience,  you can ask spirit why you had this experience in the first place. So spirit can lend protection. This is another tool in your toolbox that you can use.  Probably one of the best tools in the box. Please don't leave it in the box.

9/13/2021 Real Upliftment

 

    It only comes from within. You don't  have to go to far points around the globe.  It's there for you 24 hrs a day every day.  Make that place within you, were you see yourself  via visualization  in a nice peacefull  place where you can commune with your higher self.  That's  the  one that is not selfish and the one that you try to aspire to. Doing this daily will bring you close to that ideal being which is you. Any problem that you may be experiencing can be brought here. The answers will come by doing this. Usually it's  a quiet voice but not always. Try to listen to that little voice or nudge. In the world you might get that nudge either to speak up or to be quiet. Heed to those nudges. Monitor your speech, you want to be kind in speech and deed.

    The temple is within you always. It's  the only real temple. Just you and your higher power. Doesn't  get any simpler than that. You don't  need any organized entity to go to. By going to the real temple within,    you will feel complete and secure in your place in the world.. It's there waiting for you to enter. It may take time but that's  the price to pay for your upliftment.

    The problems that you have are not blockages  but stepping stones to help you make better choices for your future. Look at it that way instead. In life there are many teaching moments to be had. Look listen and learn. The new you will evolve from this endeavor. Plus write down your experiences.

9/10/2021 The Right Move

    Read a story yesterday  about football.  Mike Golic who was a tackle on the Miami Dolphins football team. He was past 10 years playing ball. He injured his knee and was on injured reserve at the time.  He wanted to test the knee at practice. But they wanted him to sign a waiver before he did that. Months before the team signed 2 new tackles. Soon after the team released Golic. Here's the thing, the team couldn't  release him while he was on injured reserve. When  he signed, it took him off the reserve and the team quickly released him. He never played in a game after that. They didn't  have his best interest at heart. This also happened to players who sustained head injuries. They weren't  dealt with properly so as to keep the player on the field.

    Always ask spirit  what is the best track to follow. Do I do this action A or action B or C. Then use your head in finding the better way. You can ask trusted friends for their input. Write down all leads that you can come up with. Sleep on it and think on the problem a couple days. When it feels right to you, write down the best move.  Make a decision a couple days later. This is for major decisions. 

    I test drove a pickup once and I felt a little hesitation when accelerating.  I dismissed  it because I was enamored vwith the look of the truck.. I bought the truck. It bit me 2 months later. Had to have the transmission redone eventhough it was redone a full year prior by previous owner. The transmission shop wouldn't  make good on their repair. So I got a little warning but I didn't  use critical thinking in making a good decision  for me. I'm  wiser now. We have to think in all areas of our life and I mean  All.

    

9/08/2021 A LITTLE FLAME

 

    The main purpose of this blog series is to develop your trust in spirit.  That was created by God for the sole purpose so that souls  [ that being you] can interact with  God. To make your muscles get strong, they have to be worked. Take walking and lifting for example.  I use dumbells.  You work your muscles on a daily basis  and you will see very good results in a couple months. The same with spirit, you have to work it, use it. Like breathing where you don't  even notice your doing it. If your working toward a goal and you get stuck,  call on spirit for that helping hand.  Any inner nudges you get may be the key  or someone may say something, or you may get the clue from what you read.  Spirit has many ways to assist you in getting that goal. If you have good motives,  it makes the help come more easily lets say. The more you use spirit the brighter will be the flame. Do your 5 to 10 min of thinking of a situation that gives you joy.  Reflect within. This time is quiet time for you.  Many differing thoughts will come,  just brush them aside. Focus on a blank page within. Over time you can ask a question and visualize  it written on the page. Either hear the answer or see it written out.  Be creative in looking for an answer.  Practice makes perfect. Always date and write down your experiences whenever you get them. Your the director of your life. Think what it is that you want and begin the first step in putting step 1 goal into action.  Attain it. Then work on step 2. Continue till goal is met.  Write down how long it took you to get it. The more focus and more energy you invest in it the quicker will be the results.

Make that flame burn. Then life will be more joyfull. Learn from your mistakes. You will rise higher because of them. Overcome negative people's take on you. Believe in your endeavors. I can do this. And I will do great things in my life. Then you will have earned your seat at the table.

9/04/2021 It goes Boom

 

    Just before  covid times,  I was mowing a friends yard.  In the grass was a plastic ball.  I picked it up and it was not a ball at all. Yep definitely,  it's  a grenade allright.  I kept it,  I'm looking at it right now. In the last 2 years this metaphor came to pass for me. January  2020.  I'm  watching TV late at night and there are Chinese  people laying in the hallways of a hospital in Wuhan. The hallways are narrow  and the doctor is walking through  trying  not to step on anybody.  Oh Oh, I said that is a pandemic in the making. I told my sister  what was coming, she poo pooed it, oh it's  just the flu. I said no it's  not. Three weeks later she doesn't  think it's  the flue. Just great. Autumn 2019 my gal needed major surgery and now this. But thanks to dedicated scientists we got vaccines within the year. Good on you guys and gals. I just counted the days til we could get our shots. We are very thankfull  for the shots. Why anyone would refuse the shot is beyond my understanding. If everyone got the shot we wouldn't  be having problems with the Delta variant. And what's  so wrong about wearing a mask anyways. People dying because of their stupidity.  See prior blog post.  Not only do they hurt themselves but strangers as well. Some people lament I didn't  have the time. Priorities buddy. Get them in alignment. It took a half hr to get my shot. These people couldn't  sacrifice a half hr or say 2 hrs to go get the shot. I don't  get it at all. Everyone I see on TV who didn't  get the shot and they have covid and are in a hospital bed, now say to the camera oh get the shot you don't  want this at all. So you have to wait to get to get hit over the head to do it. Makes No Sense!

    So my gal has another medical problem, that's going to take some time to solve.  It's  one thing after the other. The same with the country. Will we still have a democracy? God I hope so. All these dark clouds  around but there are still silver linings  to be found within. And when you discover one, be thankfull. You earned it. So there are thing's  to be thankfull for during these times, I for one have found them. So when your life goes Boom don't  fret. No matter how dark it gets, look for the silver.  It's  waiting for you.

9/03/2021. S Is for Stupid

 

     We all do something stupid on a regular basis. The trick is to learn from the stupid act. After you do something stupid, it is time to reflect on what made us do the stupid. The only way to fix stupid is to think about the situation.  Thinking about it and coming up with an answer can prevent future stupid actions.

      So alot of times being lazy or impatient is what led up to the stupid act. I have to tell myself to dial it back a notch.  Here is something small. When I went toward the waste basket, I threw a wad of paper at it and it missed.  I picked it up again and did the same thing, another miss.  I focused more on try 3 and it went in.  If we can give a little thought to the little things in life it will prepare us for the bigger things later on.  Bigger things are happening now, like how to handle the future, what are you doing now  to prepare?  Me ,  in reflection got an F for my lack of effort in this department. When you find yourself living in the future with a lack of funds, it gets antsy real quick. And it's  Tuff no question about it.   Dumb dumb dumb.  God, I hope I can learn from this. Only thing you can do is pick yourself up and continue on.  Because there is no such word as quit.

    Say you are about to get in a verbal fight. Stop. Not worth it.  Only  plenty of bad blood will come of it. Best to keep quiet.  Leave the area. Go to a quiet space inside you. Think about how you found yourself here. What was my motive in this debacle.  Real learning happens here.  Look at yourself critically admit to yourself your selfish aims.  Then write down what happened on this day. After this day you will be less stupid.

    Speak to yourself in the morning.  It's a morning pep talk. I will do my best to be less stupid. I will use my brain to think things through.  By doing or saying  A,  B or C , this will happen. Does the end result benefit  me and others?  If it's  a yes then proceed. During the rest of the day, decisions  will be coming up what to say, how to say it and the actions you take. It's  work, but it will benefit  you immensely  as the days go by.  It will lead to a more happy life.

8/27/2021 Butt Park

  

    Today I talked to God. I said what are you doing to me. I was sitting in a hallway.  I would get up and down. I went to sit down backing up to the chair. I slipped off but didn't go down. Half hour later the same thing backing into chair, I go off the side of chair and hit the ground. Didn't  get hurt. Two times in a half hour. That's  how God talks to me. He doubles the experience in a short period of time. Look where you park your butt. I wasn't  focused on the present moment. The present moment is where we live,  always. Another reminder.  Have to be constantly aware of out thoughts in any given moment otherwise you will miss the mark like I did and find yourself looking up from the floor.

    There is always something to be thankfull  for. The fact I didn't  get hurt. So several months ago a woman  did the same thing she backed her suv into a parking space.  There was construction to the rear of the parking lot and there was a drop off. She forgot and took a step back from the rear of  the suv door.  Down she went and broke her arm she thought. Stop look and listen  always, or you may find yourself in an emergency room one of these days.

8/26/2021 We R are our Choices

 

    Each and every day we have decisions to make.  What were going to eat, what clothes to wear, errands that need doing and how to treat others. We become our choices. With choice you can change direction on a dime. The road you selected initially  can end right now. You can go off in a totally  different  direction.  You can change your attitude toward a negative event, which will make it better for you.  In these past blogs I showed you how you can make these beneficial  changes.  You are the director of your own life.  If you desire something, you have to make a plan in how to attain it.  A note pad will keep you focused on what you can do to make it happen. Time will have to be expended on it.  All the while thinking I will get to the goal.  Set up mini goals on your way to the big goal, put a time limit on the mini goals. Work hard on these mini goals.  Look over them on a daily basis. Did you attain it?  If you didn't , write down what stopped you from getting it.  Hit a dead end?  Then ask spirit to help you around the blockage. To see if this works select a small final goal and go after it. When you get it, write it down how long it took you to get it. Once you do it you will have your  confidence  built up.  It only gets better  here on out.

    

    When you are going after your goals, keep a record of your successes and failures.  Alot can be learned by our failures.  You have to reflect on the failures, a lot of good stuff is found here. The harder the fall or fail the greater the potential growth for you.  Own your mistakes, don't  blame others.  Regroup push onward.  Say you spent months working on a project and it falls apart.  Don't  panic, look at it from all angles and see where you can do better. If you believe in the goal  do not give up.

     I spent 5 yrs going to a chiopracter. I go in crooked and come out walking straight. After the 5th yr I said wait a minute. I'm  going to have to do something to fix myself. I started with exercises that weren't  tuff on the back. By the 7th yr, I was better and didn't  need the chiopracter anymore. When I first got hurt with the back, my first thought was I will get better. There was no doubt in my mind.   It took 7 yrs to get back to the way I was. If I would have did the exercises quicker maybe it would have been 3 yrs instead of 7. You have to have the belief first then do the work to make it happen.

    Focus on your goals and don't  let anyone talk you out of it. Just make sure your actions aren't  hurting anyone. Be careful  with your choices. Record all lessons good and bad. 

8/18/2021 Afghanistan

 

     The country that gave safe haven to Al- Quaeda. From which they plotted the 9/11 attacks  on US.  The government was removed by US maneuvers.  The US  botched their stay there due to no good plan on how to turn around the Afghan people.  The afghans got a gift what a democracy  could do for them.  Number 1 was giving them a taste of freedom but it wasn't enough. When the chips were on the line, they compitulated mostly without a fight.  A US skeleton force could have kept the status quo.  Just to keep the taliban locked up near the mountains . Keep the elections legit and let them figure out the rest. No nation building. Give them guidance and that would of been that.

    The US helped  with the rebuilding of Europe after the war as well as the Phillipines  and Japan. After the Korean War we fixed up south Korea.  We could of did the same for Afghanistan. It would just have taken longer. You teach the kids in grade school to be a better them. After 3 generations you will have a more understanding generation able to face their destiny  with way less violence.

    We have to stick together as a nation to protect the world from another hell on Earth. Germany and it's  allies tried to do this back in 1939 . It was a very strong US that was able to stop it. We did it because we stayed together after the Civil  War.

    Be a deep thinker. Look outside the box.

8/16/2021 When the Wolf is at the Door

 

     The first response should be Why.  How come this is happening to me?  Stand in front of the mirror,  there's  your answer.  Our poor choices have landed us in this predicament.  All is not lost however.  That is if we can learn from our failures. You can say I didn't  see it coming ( covid for example ) .  What should of happened was that you should have savings that can carry you through a drought.  I'm totally  guilty in this department. Total failure on my part.  It is not pleasant.   Money is necessary to have a better life.  It's  like air or water you take it for granted but then comes a day when it's  supply is limited.  Like say a lung problem or like in California where there are water shortages. A lot of towns in California  are in trouble of going under because of lack of water.  We have to prepare for the worst and plan better when it comes to having a better future life.  To get to that life were going to have to work hard at it.  Say if  I do this will it benefit me in the future.  If  I'm not making enough money maybe I should find another place to work.

    Evaluation.  Look at your goals at end of month and see if the money your making  is going to get you were you want to be.  If not, changes are in order.  Say you've  been at your job awhile, look at the lessons you're  been given here.  There are many lessons to be had at that job,  one of them being how you relate to others.  By keeping a journal you can chart your progress on being a better human being. Spirit is the force that brings these people into your life.  What you see in them is what exists in you. When a big problem comes into your life, try to break it down in little sections. Work on the one section until you have a satisfactory result. Then it's on to the next section. Like eating an elephant one bite at a time.

    Stuff, you either own it or it owns you. Once you take possession  of it you got to make a place to store it. If it breaks you got to fix it. With me it was books. I had to move so I packed them all up. Conclusion  books are heavy. Next time I had to move I got rid of 70 % of them. Life is maintenance,  cars break down as well as houses and your own body.  Everything costs. You have to get to a place where you can pay for the upkeep. You have to have differing irons in the fire. Keep and eye on where you want to be and make a deadline to go along with it. You tell yourself,  I will get the through  this with spirits help. Every day give yourself that needed pep talk. When you master this predicament,  the wolves will disappear from your life.

8/10/2021 People are Who They Are

 

     Accept them for who they are.  Or  don't , it's  your choice. You can change them a little bit but it's  mostly  wheather  they want to.  It has to benefit them. 

    Say you want to be part of a group.  As you hang with them you notice  some of them are not being very nice to you. Do you let it slide or do you take it as a warning.  Think about it for a good long time. Am I up to putting up with this crap for my future experiences.  Or is it time to move on down the road.

    If you want to know someone, you have to be with them for some time.  Pay attention to how they treat others.  That is a big tell. How they treat others will be visited upon you sometime in the future.  When you find yourself making excuses for their behaviors you are entering a dangerous space. Now is the time to take a step back and really think about your actions.  Don't  worry if you slam the door shut God  will open up another maybe not right away but soon.  Keep an eye out for future opportunities. What you just did was tell the universe no thankyou  to that last relationship.  I deserve better.  That last relationship hopefully taught you something about yourself.  It's  about you and learning  more about you. You are trying to be a more happier and better person than you were  before.

    Self introspection  is the way to become more knowledgeable  about yourself.  Getting mad is ok to blow off steam but do it in private. Getting mad does not fix anything,  it makes it worse. Help is blocked when your mad. To get a good answer be at peace and have a good humor. Being positive can help in all aspects of your life. Be kind to yourself and then to others.  To drive a train you need an engineer.  You are the engineer of your body. You can stop at any given moment and change direction. This is your life! If you don't  like it. Then change it. If you need help you call on spirit for help. It may help you with a book, somebody tells you something,  a tv show or something of that order. Just trust that where  you are now heading will be beneficial to you. At first it maybe Tuff very Tuff but things over time will get better. Keep and open mind and work hard to get to that new desired place of yours. And once again keep a journal and date it.

8/06/2021 To be a Victim or Not

 

    This is a question that needs an answer. The answer is either a yes or a no. To be a victim is agreeing that you have no power over the situation. First you have to see that you have a problem. Once you can see it, then you can fix it. When you blame others for your problems you are being a slacker.  Basically it comes down to 3 words, I am Responsible period.  Look in the mirror in the morning and repeat those words. I am worthy. I am loved by God. I can fix my problems by myself or an assist by spirit.  Do this mirror exercise every day. This will get you out of a  big rut that you put yourself in.  By doing nothing that rut will get deeper making it harder to see out of it. Once your energy is saved you can direct that energy to a more beneficial life for your self. People that keep you down or upset,  well just cross them off your list.  If you can't  get rid of them totally, then limit your time with them.  Don't  be nasty to them be civil, use kind words. If they direct unkind words to you reply with kind words no matter what.  Why waste your energy arguing or trying to get them to see your way. So not worth it. Use that time to get what you want in your life,,  put the energy there and go for your Dreams. Move on and enjoy your new  better life.

7/30/2021 Park IT

 

    Taking my wife into town for a procedure.  I ask spirit for a parking space.  In my head go to the first parking deck. Drop her off and start to look to Park. Well last week it was the 3rd parking deck that gave me a spot. So I tried that one because last week deck 1 had no spots.  So I get to the 3 rd deck, a sign there says it's  filled.  Great head to deck 1.  Once in there the right lane has 2 cars in front if barrier. I jump to left lane get ticket and I'm  ahead of car 2 now.  I see cars with back up lights on hopefully pulling out of the spot. They sit there, I wait 1 min for them then move on because they're  people behind me. I do this twice.  Near the top I find a spot. Thank you spirit. So you see I was told about deck 1 in the beginning. But I let my mind try to handle it based on past experience I had in parking in town. So when I get the guidance go with that first.

7/28/2021. To Bee or Not to Bee

 

    Monday I get back from Wallmart and nothing is amiss.  Fifteen minutes later I hear a buzzing near the 3 casement window that are side by side. They don't work too well.  I grab the fly swatter  expecting flies, I find bees. They're  not doing too good nowadays. I force the 3rd window open and push swatter  flat against glass so that bee can walk on it, then I bring swatter  near open window to get him out.  There were about 25 of them. It took several tries with each one about 15 min.  Half hour later they're back with a vengence. looks like they're  coming from above shelf over stove.  The gloves are now off, it's  out and out war.  Swatting bees left and right.  Had to force open window closed because the bees I initially got out were  trying to reenter the kitchen.  I look toward the bathroom and 6 of them were bouncing off the screen, I run and shut the window, trapping  them between the glass and screen.  The bees I got out before were on the outside of screen communicating with the bees that are on the inside of screen.   Amazing!  Back to kitchen I measure ht of shelf and cut a piece of sheetrock that I wedge alongside  kitchen cabinet  no nails or glue are needed. Worked like a charm.  More than 70 bees bite the dust. Sorry about that.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    It does have a meaning though. I think it's  a spiritual one. Don't  know the exact meaning as of now. When a strange occurrence  happens  in your life, write it down with the date and in the future look back and see if you can figure it out.  I wrote before how a woman noticed empty plastic oil cans on the road at times throughout the month. She wondered why.  Then one day she was at gas station and the guy said want your oil checked?  She was going to say no but remembered all those oil bottles, she then said yes.  Turns out she was down 2 quarts.  I don't  remember any gas guy asking me if I wanted my oil checked .  Spirit was Johnny on the spot though.

7/23/2021 Two Kinds of People

 

    Florida.  Tony a gardner notices the other day a car rolling down the road, inside is a driver who is having a medical emergency. Tony recognizes the man a member of his community. Tony tries to stop the car with his hands, didn't  work. Car winds up on a neighbors lawn. The car is locked and Tony can't  get in. The lawn owner runs out and tells Tony to get the car out of his yard and have the guy die somewhere else. Yep  really happened!  Tony knows where the stricken guy's  house is up the street, he runs to it and tells wife to call 911. The rescue people  come and do their job. The stricken guy asks cops to give him Tony's  phone number. The guy tells Tony thankyou, you did save my life.

    Today is dedicated to Tony, may God give him 3 great things  or experiences today July 23 2021.  And to all the future Tony's out there, thank God for you. A true humanitarian and patriot.

7/6/2021 Health Wise

 

    The best thing you can do for your body is to get proper rest 7 to 8 hrs.  The number 2 thing is to drink more water at least a half gal per day. Stay away from drinking well water, alot of nasties in there. Mainly chemicals. I use bottled water. 

    When it comes to food. Try to use less processed foods. There are dyes salts and sugars in them.  Atound 1906 doctors noticed an uptick in colon problems that didn't exist before. Processed foods were introduced about 10 years prior. Buying raw veg and fruits and meat is the healthiest way to go.

    Sugary soda and diet drinks are no good. Artificial sugars just as bad as as sugar. I use stevia instead but not alot. They put sugar in everything even barbecue sauce.  Sugary cereals keep to a minimum.  Fried foods like French fries and anything fried is bad for the body, as years go by it wears on the body in illnesses.  Excess alcohol  is no good either. It puts you in a hole one way or another and takes many years to undo the damage. You can do a u turn at any time and try to right the ship (your body).

    Exercise every day.  Park your car far from the entrance so you can get in some more steps. Work with dumbells for 5 min in the morning. You only need 1 dumbell to get started.  Use a 2 or 3 pound dumbell. Turn your hand palm up and lift the dumbell bend your elbow toward your body, do this 5 or 10 or more times. Switch to the other hand and repeat. Thats 1 set. Set 2 repeat set 1. After a month go up in weight say 5 lbs more. Within 6 mos your arms will be stronger and have more definition. 5 min a day you will see how it benefits you within a month.

    Breathing exercises.  Sit in a chair, look forward breathe in through your nose deep. Hold breath for as long as you can, then slowly blow out your mouth. Do this 20 times per day. You are getting more oxygen into those lungs. Do this in the morning.

    Finally focus on what you want in your life and do 1 thing today to get you closer to your goal. Write it down in your book or journal.

6/28/2021 They Said It Was Safe

 

    That's  what a town in Florida told the people living in a condo near the beach. A hundred and sixty people may be dead. 

    One of it's  residents awoke the night before because she heard a noise the walls shuddered then stopped. She went back to sleep.  She dismissed her concerns.  The next night she didn't  make it due to the collapse. In life you sometimes get an inkling that something isn't  right.  It's  then that you have to do something to try and figure it out.  Now is the time to call in spirit to help in getting at least some of the answers. It just may save your life. 

    When I looked at the debris, I didn't  see any steel beams protruding through the wreckage just concrete and thin rebar.  Oh and they built it on fill. Plus in the mid 1990's it was determined that part of the building was sinking and a couple years later it supposedly stopped. On top of that in 2018 there was an estimate of 9.5 million dollars to address multiple problems with the concrete in the building.

    So when you say to yourself what was that? Don't  just shrug it off.  When I was working  on a second floor level of a house one day the house rocked on its foundation hard.  First I thought the furnace exploded, I went down to check. Nope not it. Earthquake I said.  Then  I ran outside.  I'm  the only one outside. Where is everyone I think. A couple minutes later people come out of their houses. That day was a day for action not thinking, just flat out run.

    When this covid  struck I was counting the days to get my shot. I knew this called for quick action.  13 months later I got my 2 shots.  Scientists have done a commendable job of developing  vaccines. Kudos to their great efforts, today and days past.  When people lash out at things they don't  understand it is fear that drives them.  Don't get caught up in other peoples fear.  It could hurt you, big time!

6/23/2021 Give Love A Shot

 

    Instead of lashing out during a negative experience, either by words or deeds. Try giving love a shot instead.  It doesn't  cost you anything, yet it can bestow on you some needed contentment. 

    We are all on this very small planet as guests. This planet's  orbit is called the goldilocks  zone where abundant life could develop throughout  it's environs. This capsule  we are on is called Earth. This is your home for now. Treat it with care. Be thankful  for this place is indeed rare.

E       for Eden.   ( paradise )

A.       For adventure.... for those who dream

R.       For  race  the human race and differing

          Ethnicities  throughout  the world

T.        For teachable  moments during our time on               Earth

H.       For hearing or listening which can make our             life so much smoother

           The number one thing you should do, is to                 always    listen to your heart.

     Love  can heal any situation. Just give it away and watch the results  as they manifest. The only thing that can heal divisiveness is love. When they come at you with hate, you return love  promptly. The love sent will do  it's  work.  Simple, easy peasy. Done deal.  It's  like an ingredient sprinkle it everywhere you can. The healing can start today. Have a problem with someone in the family, start to try it on them. It's  more about how it makes you feel when you give love to any and all situations. When you see it's  effects, you will want to do this every day.  Your life will start to change  over night.

  

6/17/2021 Breeds Hill

 

    The day an idea came to fruition in Massachusetts.  This day 246 years ago was a black swan event.  It changed everything not just here but world over.  Democracy was slowly  creeping into human consciousness. The first step was not a baby step, it was a huge leap forward. People are selfish for the most part.  It was about keeping the money in their own pocket. When the British tried to offset the cost of protecting the colonies from Indian  or   French attack, they tried to tax the colonists. Seemed reasonable. Not so to the rabble rowers. They were quick to stir up trouble. And they were good at it. The regulars in their red coats were the perfect mark.  The writers at that time were quick to give them noble aspirations. It did work out for the best though.  America was now to enter a new concept. And the world took note. 1 step forward 2 steps back but always pushing forward to a brighter future.

    The regulars ( British troopers) thought little of the colonists as a fighting force. And they were  right in their thinking. They new the locals would think twice before picking up arms to confront them. They didn't  have that much and would be afraid of jeopardizing  their status.  The British failed to understand the level of upsentment that was going on in the colonies.  And do to their arrogance they paid dearly for it. They underestimated them and paid dearly for it.

    The table was set at Breeds Hill Charlestown MA. The morning  of the 17th 1775, the British saw the redoubt up atop  Breeds Hill. They started  to shoot canon balls at it from their ships in the river.  By sitting atop the hill the colonists  could see everything going on in Boston. The regulars were  sent to retake the hill. The colonists sent General Prescott  to set up atop  Bunker Hill, which they did.  Some of his men the volunteers said nah lets jump over to the lower hill (Breeds) and fortify  that one since its  closer to Boston. The regulars paid dearly for their frontal assault. Three times up the hill they went getting cut down till the colonists ran out of ammo.  The Brits sent about 1200 men up the hill. 450 of them wound up dead about 85 of the were officers. Those  85 were a total shock to the brass.  They never sustained losses  like that in war before. They were in a state of shock, they won the battle and lost way way more than that in the eyes of England.  Country bumpkins didn't  cut and run, they fought tooth and nail and bloodied the lions nose. The Brits did not make this mistake again. They were mad about this battle for the rest of the war. So they got brutal in future combat with the colonists. The Brits were humiliated, did it fix their arrogance.  No Way!  When your arrogant.  Things do not    go well.

6/15/2021 Jonah

 

    Last week a lobster fisherman off the coast of Provincetown  MA, had to dive overboard to attend to one of his traps on the ocean floor.  He felt a big thud. His vision goes dark, then realizes  he's  inside a whale.  He thinks this is the end for him, his thoughts go to his teenage sons and wife. In the mean time the whale sucked up something he didn't  want in his maw. So he headed to the surface to spit him out.  Easier to spit him out in the air than trying to do it under water. The divers deck mate witnessed  him expunged from the humpback whales maw.   The whole episode took a minute. And one lucky man that had a tale to tell.

    This guy got a second chance the same that happened for the biblical  Jonah.  Jonah was tasked by God to go to the city of Nivanea  to tell the inhabitants to repent their sins.  Jonah thought twice about it. He said to himself oh no not doing that so he headed off in a different direction. He boarded a boat and tried to put as much distance between him and Nivanea  as possible.  Several days out on the sea clouds started to pile up on the horizon. Oh oh said the sailors were in for it. The storm hit hard, the sailors said this storm was way more severe than they ever encountered in their lives.  Jonah said I'm  the cause throw me over, they said no way.  The sailors  were still having  a hard time rowing and no relief on the horizon.  So they gave Jonah the ole heave ho.  Jonah was trying to stay on the surface the best he could til a whale breached the surface and swallowed him up. For 3 days and nights he was trapped inside. But he was protected against the storm. Jonah prayed to God and told God he would do as commanded by God. God then had the whale spit him out near shore. Jonah delivered the message to the town. The town did listen to Jonah and did a 180 surrendering it's  evil ways.

    These 2 stories are about second chances. What would you do with your second chance ?

6/10/2021 Take a Stand

 

    In the news these past several years, sexual abuse  stories have come out. It can happen anywhere, most notabably in the Catholic church and sport programs. They use cunning to trap their victims. The goal here is not to be a victim. Develop a trust in spirit, it can help you avoid the traps. Above all else your parents  or your  friends spirit is your absolute friend. By trying to use spirit in your daily life consciously  that bond will be made stronger.  Use it for little things or big things, it doesn't  matter. You use it til it's  2nd nature to you. That will be your shield.

    Priests and kids how outrageous!  Go to spirit and ask for the guidance no matter how old you are.  It will be your shield to any harm that may come your way.  Pay attention to any inner nudges you get and act on them. This is your connection to God. It doesn't  come from a church or a religion. Spirit awaits you to make the move. You want light as you walk into a room, then you flip the switch. You want help in your life then   ask  spirit for it's help. It's  not to say it will make everything perfect but it can help make the problem less severe.  One thing in life you can change is your attitude and changing it could do wonders for your life going forward. Start  Here.

    Michigan.  The coach's son had a doctors appointment  with the team doctor. When he came home he told his mom what had happened. The mother was very upset.  Sexual abuse was done to her son. When the big shot coach got home mother and son told him what had happened.  He yells and strikes his son with a fist sending him flying into an adjacent  room.  The mother stands by and does nothing. Right.  Ten years later the kid is sent back to the same doctor.  The same thing happened to him again!  These people the parents are criminals There's an old saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. In this instance it was way far worse.

    Pennsylvania.  Another team with the same type of problem. An adult told the coach he witnessed a sex act between 1 of his assistants and a boy in a shower on campus. The coach tells him he will take care  of  it. Lo and behold they pass the problem to the higher ups and surprise  surprise nothing is done about it. So years and years go by and more and more kids were victimized.  It's  people not doing the right thing. Sometimes you have to go the extra mile to see this wrong addressed.

    One guy who did the right thing was Vinman. He heard something that was not good about a political  situation. He brought  it to his superior and they acted on it. It hurt him professionally.  He lost alot. But I bet spirit makes it up to him down the pike. Evil happens when good people sit and do nothing. It happened in Germany. It's  happening  in China now.  It can even happen right here in this country as well.

6/8/2022 Again Karma

    Two stories, recently in the news.  Aiden was on his way to kindergarten  in his mother's  car. He didn't  make it to class that day. He went to the morgue  instead.  Senseless  is the only word I can think of.  As the mother was driving down the freeway,  another car made an unsafe lane change in front of her,  she had to hit her brake.  The mother then promptly  flipped the other driver the bird. The offending car then slowed and slipped behind Aiden car.  The passenger  then used a handgun to shoot into the car ahead of him.  The bullet hit the boy in the back seat. Very sad! Horrendous is the word.

    Karma is what goes around comes around. The mother's unkind act set the ball in motion. We've  all done what she did but it isn't  right. Don't  respond a wrong with a wrong it could cost you more than you bargained  for. Once I seen road rage between 2 young men on a small road during rush hr. They were separated by 150 ft. They were red hot they were out of their cars yelling every bad word  you can think of at each other. Lucky for the both of them neither had a gun because during that debate it would have been a settler. STUPID!!

    The other story is  up in Washington state  on a lake. One boat is flying the rainbow  flag. Another boat starts to circle them hurling insults their  way. Over and over with the slurs and invective. During their circling the boat they are on, catches fire. The 3 trouble makers jump in the water to escape flames. The flag people pull them aboard. 1 of the trouble makers is a woman crying over the loss of the boat. They see another friends boat and tell the flag people to take them over to them. Which they did.  Not one of the trouble makers issued a heart felt thankyou. One word Arrogant. But a good lesson to the rest of us on how Karma works. Some people! These people have parents. The only thing I can think of is that they learned from their parents at a early age to be unkind and self absorbed. This bad behavior can be unlearned. You have to own it, recognize it,  change it. This is what will make you a better  person.

6/6/2021 Fascism

 

    Today is the day the allies pushed back against the Nazis and set them rocking back on their heels. Alot of young men lives would never be the same again.  They accomplished a noble deed which all the world should honor their mighty sacrifice. 

    The goal here is not to have  to fight another war to keep the world safe. Fascism ,Nazism, Stalinim and communism  are opposite ends of the political spectrum. We must all push back on extremism wherever it reels it's  ugly head.  Because the only thing it breeds is death.  It's  main modus  operandi is nothing else but Fear.  Stay rational try to use kindness  in all your interactions. If it doesn't  work  say have a nice day and take your leave of them. If they block your way in leaving, call on spirit to show you your next move. And that way maybe, its time to push back.

5/31/2021 Memorial Day

 

     Today we remember those who passed in upholding our values as a nation. Also those who suffered wounds in those endeavors.

    Democracy is what are constitution stands for. As an individual  we pledge allegiance  to that same constitution. For it is that constitution thst sets us apart from other nations. Other nations look to us for guidance  in their own affairs. I f we don't  uphold the constitution then all is  LOST.  Stay united , stay strong, lend a helping hand when needed. Continue to show the world that the mantle still rests with us.  Remember  what our forefathers  set out for us and walk that talk in your everyday activities, small or large. Be a beacon for our own sake.   May God still continue to Bless the US.

5/30/2021 A Diamond

J

    Christian Liden from Washington state was in middle school when he thought about finding a diamond for his future wife.  When I was in middle school I had no thoughts about any of that. But he continued to think about it every now and then. The day came one day when he found the future missus. He needed the diamond but didn't  know jack beans how to go about it. He got on the internet and started taking notes.  His friend told him about Crater of Diamonds state park in Arkansas. He and his buddy planned a trip there. After 2 days of digging in untouched gravel without finding anything they decided to just skim the gravel along the ground using shovels to dump it into the screens. Towards t h e end of the 3rd day he tuned a shovel full onto a pile in the screen and saw it right away. Turned out to be the second biggest diamond found in 7 months. All 2.2 carats of yellow diamond with a metallic cast look. She said yes.

    The dream started in youth and got fulfilled many years later. That's  why Dreams are so important , that's  what a road map is all about. Have yourself a road map and take action to make it so. You too can find your desires.  Or even help someone find theirs.

    Aa an aside my gal has some problem. Eating and pain. I blanked my mind and asked what time should she eat, I got 10. She was going for 9.  5 min later she gets a little pain, she then tells me yeah I'll  wait to 10. It worked out.  An example of spirit helping out in every day occurrences. Use it, that's  what it's  for. It's  the best kind of medicine.

5/29/2021 Probable Future

 

    A friend of mine had a dream several days before 9/11.  In this dream he saw planes crashing into skyscrapers.  It's  a dream of probable events doesn't  mean it will happen though. In this case it did happen.

    In some instantances it may be more personal. It is something that may occur in your life.  If you don't  like it you can change it so it doesn't  happen. By taking action in ways to prevent it. You may not  have seen it coming but a dream can tip you off. Giving you a chance to make corrections. 

    Last night I had a dream. An American rocket explodes on the launch sequence killing at least 2 astronauts.  Does it mean it will occur ..... no but there is a probability it just might. Hope it doesn't. 

5/23/21 Take Responsibility

 

    It's  a big word. It also means the buck stops here. You have to own your crap. Your choices and how you react to them has landed at your feet.  Pick it up  because it's  all yours  to handle. Take that negative situation you got yourself in and try to solve it in a positive way. Then you will be on your way to being a stronger person than you ever were  before.

    Two cases have come up recently. The royals sued a news outlet claiming they duped their princess into doing an interview by tricking her into it. So the royals  win the case. The reporter has a paper that the princess signed claiming that she was pleased with the interview.  The princess owned her stuff. The royals claim fowl, they say it helped cause her death.  The royals scream you did this to us!  Such rubbish. The one who should own their crap is the prince.  That's  where it started. Does h e own it.... Hell  No!

     Second  case.  A man named Fenn wrote a poem that when solved would lead that person to a box that he had hid in the rocky mountains. This box would contain at least 2 million dollars. It was found recently after 10 years. Fenn thought it would take alot  longer. 4 people died  trying to find the treasure. One of those who died, his father says that Fenn was a very bad man who killed his son.  Fenn did this to me.  Sorry it was your son's  actions that did it to him not  Fenn. Fenn wanted people to get off the couch  and into the wild. It worked. 

    

 Don't  forget to invite spirit in to help you with your responsibility.  It's willing.

5/19/2021 Adding On

    By now you should have some experiences with spirit.  Now us the time to add on more experience, to grow that trust. Like a potter adding more clay to his or her creation on the wheel, trying to create something pleasing. In your own life you are becoming more aware of your greater self  keep on adding on more experience.  Keep asking to be shown more.  Pay attention  to detail  when witnessing a strange occurrence.  It may have some meaning just for you.

    Also remember what you see in  others is what you yourself are guilty of. When you find yourself criticizing  someone,  remember the words you use and record them in your dedicated book. Look back on that day and see how it applies  to your behavior. Real growth starts here. You are beginning  to see what makes you tick. Accepting your short comings and vowing to do better is a sure sign of growth. God will note this for he knows you in and out. Why do this work? To better know you and to become a less tense person.  It's harder to hold a clenched  fist than an open hand. And an open hand can recieve a future reward. Also a less tense body is a more healthier body as well. All this work you put out will add blessings throughout  daily life activities.  Your dedicated book will show you the changes you have garnered for yourself.   

Keep on moving Forward. 

5/17/2021 HEY Thats Mine!

      I was at this lady's  house.  She loves her garden and life explorations. One day her friend who lives about a mile away was visiting her at her house. They were in the backyard and Mary was digging in her flower beds with a speciality  small garden shovel, that cost about 45 dollars. Needless to say it was a Cadillac  of trowels that could do everything but brush your teeth. Her friend Alice asked to borrow it. Mary handed it over to her.  BIG mistake. Months went by and  Mary didn't  get it back. Alice then sold her house and moved away taking the coveted trowel with her.  So it's  a year later and Mary is lamenting to me about the lost  trowel and how mad it made her.

     I said to her if you lend something to anyone don't expect it back, if it does comeback then thats gravy. Meaning it's  good for you. I said you lost that trowel a year ago but it's  still renting space in your head and robbing you of  your present good times that could be occurring right in front of you. Let it go and look for good memories here in the present. Just now a cute chipmunk walked out from underneath my car and stared at me before quickly scampering back under the car. Today here is a very nice day,  everything is green a light breeze and 70 degree temp. I'm  enjoying the moment. Try to feed your soul with good experiences on a daily basis.

5/10/2021 Reevaluate

 

    I saw a tv show 15 years ago.  This guy Brian was getting ready to put a new roof on his small house. He enlisted the help of his  brother Tom to help him in his endeavor.  The brother lived far away. The brother was to stay for a week. They were getting along great till the 3rd day when a bad mistake by Tom on the roof caused Brian to lose his cool. The fight escalated and Tom climbed down off the roof and was going to head home the following day.  

    That night Brian did some soul searching and came to the right conclusion.  Family trumps perfection and his pride. No...  pride was not going to come between the brothers.  One of the last scenes was Brian and Tom sitting down to dinner with Brian wearing a gargantuan  smile.

    Way to go Brian. You past the test in flying colors. May we do the same as Brian.

    Swallow the pride  and live in peace.  This will give you at least another 5 years to your life.

5/7/2021 Turmoil

 

    Try not to freak out. Try to stay somewhat calm. Take 15 deep breaths thru the nose, hold it in as long as you can then blow the air out of your mouth slowly.  Look for lifelines that may be around you. If you don't  see one ask spirit for one. Keep your eyes open as well as your mind. There is a way through this predicament . At some point try to blank your mind. Push all thoughts out and try to stay in that cleared out space in your head. Once there then ask a question about your predicament. Remember the answer that fills that empty space in your head. Then act on it. Then repeat as necessary.  Be persistent.  You can also surrender the outcome to spirit. That means you take a step backward. Relinquish  the reigns hand it over to spirit and leave it at that.  Do not take back the reigns. You do all that you can do and that's  it period. Spirit has it. It is now dealing with it.  You may not like what happens but know that spurit has shown fit what the outcome is to be. Write in your book all that happened during this trying time. That book is to stay in it's  dedicated space,  so you always  know where  it is.

5/3/2021 Sian

 

    Proctor now 51 had a dream as a girl to be an astronaut.  She got into training to be that astronaut but  she was passed over when crews were announced. To her that dream died. She became a entrepreneur  instead. So one day they were having a lottery  and one was for entrepreneurs. Yep, she  won.  Now  she's  on her way to entering space as a civilian. Spirit did not give up.  But  the idea the dream came from her.  That same spirit can work wonders in your own life.  Pick a dream, focus on it and see what happens for you.

5/3/2021 Doing

 

    Each day do something fun, at least once a day. This is an important action you take to feed your soul.  It is good to have some form of sketchy outline on what you want to have in your future. Shelter, relationships, work, savings, car, entertainment, vacation and health all require money. Your job is to figure out how to make enough to accomplish all these endeavors. Spirit can help you in this direction. We all have talents whether seen or unseen. Explore those hidden talents using your curiosity  and asking for spirit's  help. Those hidden talents can make you a boat load of money. If you find yourself in a dead end job, now is the time to start  your quest in finding a better job. And the best kind of job is the one where you can't wait to get to. That's  when  it no longer feels like a job. Look into your life and see the places where you are unsatisfied with your life. Write them down in your dedicated book that you keep in your abode. Look at your book  at least 3 times per week. Assess  your life on Sunday and at the end of the month.  If things are the same, more effort will be required from you. Do the work. For it is you that will benefit with a more fun life.

Do good works. And an abundant life then awaits you.

4/23/2021 Wawa

 

    Pulled into a Wawa. The parking lot is small. You go in a circle till you find a spot.  There are 2 entrances one on the west side the other the south side.  I came in on the south. A guy is backing up out of a spot and I pull in. Beep! The lady who came in on the west side had it figured she was getting the spot. As I was walking to the door she says to me that was rude. I say to her I'm  sorry.  I continue to walk to front door.  As I'm  walking a guy backs out of space near front door. She gets the spot. So I cut in front of her to get the empty slot  and spirit opened up an additional slot for her right at the right time. If we think we have been wronged just be patient and things just might workout.

    I heard this story, how a daughter would ask spirit for a parking spot near her mother's  doctor office. It was the busy part of town and parking spots were always hard to come by. She had to take her mother who couldn't  walk far 2 times a week to the office. She had to do this for the next 3 months. Everything she brought her mother , there was an empty spot near the office. Her rational mind told her it was impossible. But in reality it was very much possible with spirit's  help.

4/19/ 2021 Evaluation

  @"'

    Sunday is a good day to go over your goals. Look back the last 2 weeks and see if you are any closer  to your goals.  If not think how you can make some moves to make it happen. Write them down. Keep the note pad in a dedicated space. This is 1 of your most important tools.. As you attain your goals your life is going to change.

    Whatever you do.  Don't  quit. The rewards are very very great. More focus and determination will show results. Keep a light attitude and slam the door on cynicism. 

    When things look bleak and dark.  Look for the silver lining.  It is there somewhere.  As you look ask spirit to nudge you along.  Pay attention and you will find the answer.

4/15/2021 Crews with a T

    Saw a tv show yesterday, with Bear Grylls a British adventurer  who takes celebrities  out for a little trip into the wild. The guest was Terry Crews an ex  NFL football player now actor.

    He had a plan for his life which is good. He married his high-school girlfriend. Good move. Then he told her  football first then Hollywood. He did his football thing then they moved to Hollywood where he went bankrupt. Then he tells his wife he has a problem with pornography. She promptly leaves him. Now alone he blames his problems on his wretched childhood experiences. He brooded on this affixing blame on this one and that  one. Then one day he's thinking about his problems once again  and a little voice inside him says it's  you. Your the source. He went about trying to fix himself.  Therapy  is where he put himself.  And guess what, it worked for him. He took responsibility  for the crap he did. He got to see the light. He did the work and was in return rewarded for his good actions. He recognized  the change in himself and he felt joy.  Spirit was that little voice.  And he listened. 

    The reward was his wife saw the change in him and came back to him. Then he went to a casting call for a movie and got a small roll. Then that led to other rolls and on and on. I first saw him on America's  Got Talent as one of the hosts.

    This story was too good to pass up. Spirit gives the little push to get things rolling. And  All you have to do is say yes and hold on for the ride.  That voice can be delivered by something in you or the TV or book or dream or someone saying something. Go Find That Voice. Once Terry uprooted his weeds, his garden began to flourish with God's  abundance.

4/12/2021 WATCH Out

 

    The other day I was walking with my gal near a mall. I see this goose hustling toward us from the middle of the parking lot. He's  on foot. Oh I say he's  coming for you hon.  He's clicking his beak and stops 8ft away from us. He shifts to my left trying to out flank me. I hold her pocketbook out in front of the goose which stops him from advancing,  he's  hissing. I turn, then I see the female sitting in the ivy 15ft away.  Well that explains it, he's  protecting her. Good for him. We walk away from the female.  The male hops in the air and comes down on top of my gals head.  It wasn't  a had thump just a pat of his web foot atop her long hair. My gal freaked. We just kept moving away. The goose  stopped the attack.  One constantly has to be aware of his or her surroundings. Goose 1 human 0.

4/11/2021 Being Persistent

 

     First thing you do is set a goal.  Each day think about that goal for about a minute. Then throughout the course of the day do things that you think will help on your way to attaining your goal. You want to be in a positive state of mind. If you get knocked off track try to remain positive. Any negative experience can be turned into a positive  as long as you learned something of value in your future growth. Gobble up all experiences they make your life rewarding. By now you should have at least one answer to one of your questions put to spirit. This you did 1 week ago.  If you didn't  get any answers then redouble  your efforts.  But don't  give up. Maintain your journal it will tell you where you came from where your going and what may be the future. This journal will be your validation. 

4/08/2021 Moderna

 

    Today I got my second shot of the covid vaccine.  In 2 weeks I will be fully vaccinated.  Happy about that. I would encourage everybody to get a covid shot not only to help you but the people around you. You may need booster shots in the future so make a copy of your vaccination shot card 3x4 card they give you and put in a safe place. Hopefully this act will make your life better.

    Any day with less fear is a welcoming sight. Being carefull, patient and aware of your surroundings maykes your near future more promising. With covid 19 in the rear view mirror, hope can once again take charge. Remember what has past and be thankfull  for what you have... always.  Moving forward with more purpose and less fear is the place you want to be.

4/06/2021 The Challenge

 

    Thats what you want to do when it comes to yourself. Challenge  yourself in setting the goal and attaining that goal. See for yourself where that  endeavor takes you.

    For me I went big. I wanted to know if God is real. Don't  remember how many years it took. But I finally did get an answer.  The answer came in a dream. After that dream, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God does exist.  God stands back waiting on you to call him forth. What ever it is that you are dealing with, God is ready to lend an assist. 

Invite him in, no greater friend is he. He is there for all who call upon him. You definitely  can't  go wrong. To see it for yourself  is a great joy. Once you know it beyond  a shadow of a doubt, you will be forever uplifted. Today tomorrow  whenever you decide, he is there. On a carasol people  would try to grab for the brass ring many years ago.  I say swap out the brass for gold for that is what you will have when you choose to put God in your life.

4/04/21 I'll Get Through This

 

    Those are the words you use, when you find yourself up against  it.  I'll  get through this no matter what.  Tell yourself over and over again. As many times as you want. It's  like a security blanket. Then try to fix it the best you can asking spirit for its  help. Try to be ethical  in your endeavors. BECAUSE God knows all that you do,  and make  no mistake about that.  Sometimes answers don't  come at a snap of the finger, be patient and persistent.  The answer will come your way. Listen to that soft voice within. Is it so or no. Think about your problem and back it with action.  Leave no stone unturned in your hunt.

    Being a couch potatoe is ok but don't  make a habit of it. Be a part of life not a spectator. Nothing gets done without setting goals.  Figure out what do I want and what am I going to do to get it. Try to be of good cheer, the answers come easier that way. Feeding into that makes for a rewarding  life that's  always unfolding.

4/01/21 What's This

 

    Last week a 2 pound package that was 24% filled, tumbled from the 2nd shelf over the sink. Sugar came out on the first shelf and some came into the sink.  That was weird. Then 8 days later the same sugar package fell into the sink again.  A metal spoon I kept in the package shifted putting pressure on the side of the package. The momentum propelled  it off the shelf. Another clean up job. Two incidences involving sugar. Hmm.

    Twenty five years ago, I remember a woman once said to me 2 days ago  she dropped a whole sugar bowl on the floor. It smashed, the whole mess got swept into the garbage. She had another incident with sugar again and again.  I wonder what that means she said.  I know what that meant quit the sugar.

    I was doing sugar sometimes and Stevia as well, which is a sugar substitute.  I guess I will stick with stevia for now.  These occurrences are a way for spirit to prod us into going in a different direction.

     As an aside, diet sodas are no good for you period.  Regular soda is ok,  once in awhile. When I quit the diet soda,  the swelling in my legs went down.

    The two white substances sugar and salt very bad for the body. See if you can cut way back on it's consumption.  Read food packaging  labels for salt content. Last week I had a package of a mix for shrimp scampi,  I looked at the salt content over 1600mg of salt.   Wow!  Quickly tossed that pouch into the trash can.  Salt is in almost all packaged foods and other items as well.  Read the labels. Living life in a healthy body will take some work on your part.  Worth the effort.

3/31/2021 Dreams

 

    Dreams can be hard  to remember. Try to recall them  even if they are brief ot don't  make sense. Dreams can tell you about yourself. 

    A dream clued me in to an exchange with a female I had over 25 years ago.  I thought I was just kidding around, but she took it differently.  The dream let me know that.  Next  time I saw her, I went right up to her and apologized and told her about my dream. The dream was right on on how she took it initially.  Thats what Dreams can do. 

    A dream can talk about anything under the sun. Second example:  I was planning a trip to Paris and Cairo Egypt. I had a dream prior to going. In the dream I was sitting on the sand and being bit by red ants.  I knew what it meant.  The near future trip was going to have many bad experiences  for me. I decided to go anyway.  And true enough there were many negative experiences but I also had many good experiences.. By remembering my negative experiences, I got smarter.  So I cherish the bad along with the good.  So the bad made me smarter, thats not a bad thing,  it's a good thing.  Always the silver lining in every black cloud.

    Dreams can help you in making a big decision. Like wheather to buy that car or a different car. Or it may tell you to wait on getting that car. Spirit can look into the future and see that you will lose your job in 6 months.  Those  car payments may not be made by you. If you listen to spirit's  guidance you can save yourself alot  of grief.

    Dreams can show you why you feel the way you do in any given situation.  It's  good to know the why.  It settles things ,makes you less anxious. Also when you mess up acknowledge  it,  take responsibility for your actions learn from it , then move on.

    

3/30/21 Let's Get Started

 

    Today marks 1 year  of doing this blog.  This yrs blog is going to focus on changing your life for the better.  You will have a better understanding  of yourself.

    Spirit is how God  can communicate with you.  That communication  is available  24 -7. The only requirement  is for you to notice.

    Each day ask spirit a question. Then write the question down in your  9x12 inch notebook. Put the date atop all your future entries.  Answers to your questions can come from many sources.  Words from the TV  or radio.  Another person , a book or the internet. Also  an answer can come from a dream as well.  If you think you got a possible answer write it down in your book.  What you want to do is strengthen  your connection to spirit. By being active you show spirit that you want it's  help.  Many experiences await you. The effort is well worth it. 

    Make a small goal that you would like to achieve. It's  rewarding when you do the work and are able to complete the goal.  It builds confidence and inner strength.  As that strength  builds, you set yourself up for a more rewarding life.  Not being blown from here to there.  You will become captain of your life experiences  and no longer a deck mate. 

    The key word here is stick-to-itiveness. Fight the lethargy  that wants  to thwart us and keep us binded up in the status quo. 

3/28/21 One Year Later

 

    A year ago  on March 30 2020, I started this blog , my goal was to write 100 blogs.  Fell a little short. But that's ok because it was the goal that got me to the mid 90s. I was going to write a book and started about 4 yrs ago. Then I put it down and forgot about it.  Wasn't  til March of last year that I got interested in the blog. I liked that it could easily be updated and could be found on the internet. For the second year  I'm  going to launch    A Life's  Change for the Better.    I will try to post at least 5-6 articles per week on how to do this. Anyone can do this no matter where you are or how old you are. The important thing is to get started. Doesn't  require alot of time  either.

    You will need two notebooks. One book would  be a 300 page spiral, like 9x12. That stays in your dedicated space in your house at all times. The other is a memo book to carry on your person throughout  the day with a pen. You will also need an open mind and heart.

3/24/2021 Actions and Words do Matter

 

    Another  mass shooting  yesterday. And on and on it goes.  Growing up, I only remember 1 mass shooting every 3-4 yrs.  This latest one in Colorado comes 8 days after the Atlanta shootings.  The Colorado shooter was anti social. Why? My guess is mentally he was on the edge of mental stability for years. Then in school he was harrased by fellow students with very unkind words. Then he would just stew for days on end. Most people would let it go like water off a duck's back. This guy couldn't.  So maybe it's  a good thing to teach respect to your kids at a very young age, say starting at age 3. It's  about showing them in your own actions. When they call someone a unkind name you gently reprimand them. Would you like it if someone called you that name?  Practice kindness on a daily basis. Talk to your kids daily about subjects concerning kindness. Did your kid experience anything at school that made them feel not so good?Draw them out as soon as they get home from school. This has to be done everyday. Otherwise the events of yesterday  will keep occurring. Meaness can and will beget violence whether  with words or deeds.

    After the shooting people in Colorado ran out and bought even more  guns than ever before. So fearful, they live their lives in fear. That fear is shown to the kids  and they become their fearful parents. On and on it goes.

    To have a clean environment it starts with picking up a piece of trash and putting it in a proper waste container.  To fix the shootings it starts with showing and l I stewing to your kid on a daily basis.  That's  your number 1 job.
