What I am known for

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough. Be kind to yourself while living responsibly. Who you ARE affects us ALL. We Are All Connected.

Energy/Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL. Omniscience knows ALL. Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

Where were the first civilizations in the Americas?

Our Thanksgiving 2023

This was our first Thanksgiving in Ocala, Florida (and will probably be our last). Through no fault of anyone other than our upstairs neighbors (it’s more of a structural thing than them–except they work odd hours, coming in late and leaving very early in the mornings), and that the friends we have here aren’t any more social than the ones we left behind in south Florida. Sad to say. Granted, a few were ill and no one can blame them for not wanting to get together, but some didn’t even call or message. And I’m not the type to invite ourselves to someone’s house for Thanksgiving, even friends we’d had Thanksgiving with before.

If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:

It is what it was

If I sound a little sad or aggravated, I guess I have been. But I’m working on my DE-Program process (Integrating the Spirals) and “letting it go.” Writing this post helps. It is what it was. I know we’re all adjusting to a “new normal.” I just wish people wouldn’t ignore us/or anyone. I don’t think it’s healthy to stay “shut in.” Of course, I am all for doing stuff on my own, Ms. Independent here. But I think all this time during COVID has really punctuated the point of getting together with others. I love my monthly Zoom calls, but hanging out in person–well, there’s so much that could be said for camaraderie.

Who did you celebrate with?

Our little local restaurant (we walk to) was closed for Thanksgiving day, so we ordered our food the day before. And then, I reheated our food on Thanksgiving day. And it was all delicious–more on that and pictures in a few minutes!

Our longtime friend, Nancy, sent us a bag of organic lemons. I call these our Sarah lemons because they grow on a lemon tree I gave Nancy years ago when her daughter, Sarah passed away. And Sarah loved lemons. Nancy was going to drive a couple hours to come visit us before Thanksgiving but I was sick that day, so she mailed these instead.
The day before Thanksgiving we walked to our little local restaurant to have a cup of Christmas cheer with our bartender friend, Rob. My mom always used to have a cocktail on Thanksgiving and call it her “Christmas cheer.” So, this was a special pumpkin martini and I thought of her as I enjoyed it.
One of my mom’s handkerchiefs, the Avon nativity set (that my mom and I had both collected one each when she sold Avon), a ceramic angel that was a gift, and a glass Christmas plate. I’m also putting a Christmas globe out, with a blue Fenton Art Glass deer, but otherwise, that’s all I’m doing to decorate the apartment for Christmas.
I have to glue one of the gifts/hands that broke from one of the wise men. This is a closeup of the Avon ceramic nativity scene. I put it on our bar so I could meditate on it while I wash dishes in the sink. I typically have a Fenton candy dish sitting on mom’s handkerchief in this location.

I mused over some of the things I have from mom and dad, grandparents, and cousins. One gift I wear often is from my first cousin Greg–a garnet string of chip crystals. I’m always so thankful for the gifts from family (I have so few of those kinds of momentos). I love useful gifts or things I can wear to remember my loved ones. How about you? Do you do that too–think of your loved ones when you use or wear things they gave you? To me, that’s the heart of holidays like Thanksgiving.

Alone together

So, I called some family friends who were also alone for Thanksgiving, and enjoyed our phone calls, but Richard and I celebrated Thanksgiving alone this year.

I have a strong feeling that we’ll be up north with family next summer and thus, won’t even be living in Florida this time next year to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. Oh, well! I’m glad we did it when we did a few years ago and will have to settle on simply being grateful “We did that then.”

We had turkey, stuffing (dressing), a very small amount of bourbon gravy, which was new to us, and green bean casserole, also new to us and very creamy and cheesy. We also had carrots and potatoes and a fantastic yam/sweet potato casserole with little marshmallows on top–I hadn’t had one of those casseroles in years!

We ended our Thanksgiving feast with a slice of chocolate cream pie (as I’ve been doing a lot lately reminiscent of my dad–he always loved a good chocolate cream pie. I found the Edwards brand in the store freezer case and have decided it’s the best for the price for us now).

What “food” holiday do you celebrate?

What similar holiday do you celebrate in your country?

I love Diwali in India. I’ve celebrated it several times with coworkers. It will be one of the things I miss when I retire. Actually, I’ve worked at home for the last 6.5 years, so come to think of it, I haven’t celebrated Diwali in person with anyone for a long time. I love Indian food, so it used to be one of the holidays I always looked forward to when I worked in an office–all that delicious food!

Giving thanks for ALL

I love gifts that keep on giving. Here’s the new crystal bracelet from one of my cousins who I met recently on Facebook–she makes these. I bought one to match for my daughter, and then one each for our three granddaughters in their favorite colors for Christmas. And I’m wearing Color Street polish on my fingernails, which I’ll post about next (my daughter is a Color Street stylist). I’m still juicing these lemons from Sarah’s lemon tree too. I think I will get them all used up before they spoil without even needing to freeze the juice.

Yours in expanding, thankful, revolving, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, joy, and sustainment in JOY!

Are you watching The Why Files?

My daughter and son-in-law turned us on to The Why Files a few months ago—and we have watched every episode to date. We love it! It’s for high IQ, or critical thinkers who care and like to have fun. Tin foil hats included! LOL

Big thumbs UP

I sent my son-in-law a plush Hecklefish (from The Why Files store) because he’s a gamer and avid game toy collector (and game collector). I figured if he liked Hecklefish then I would get us one as well. And though it took 3 months for him to receive his, he got it and gave it a big thumbs UP!

Thus, I got one for us and we squeeze it and laugh every time Hecklefish talks! “Please say aliens, please say aliens,” is a favorite saying.

Hilarious

Yes, this show has us laughing out loud too, maybe not as much as our favorite Little Britain or Benny Hill DVDs, but it’s certainly been one of the funniest YouTube series we’ve seen in awhile (other than cat videos that is.

Here’s a link to get you started:

Thanks ALL

Big thank you to my beautiful daughter and best son-in-law for sharing The Why Files with us. And thanks to my son and his girlfriend for sharing YouTube Premium with us so we can watch commercial free!

Integrating the Spirals to ease unwanted emotions

My online Zoom video course, Integrating the Spirals is more timely now than ever because I know people are suffering. (Let me know if you’re interested in working through the Integrating the Spirals course.)

As an empath I want to help ease suffering and raise our vibration to offer hope. I want to uplift others and expand our collective consciousness. I teach breath work and meditation so we appreciate the value of Detachment. We till our inner soil with our breath to calm the amygdala and institute peace. Meditation is an easy way to Connect us with spirit, higher selves, Omniscience God, and receive non-programmed personal guidance.

Be the best version of who you want to be–because if you’re reading my words your soul is probably beckoning you to align with it and live up to your highest ideals. Not perfect because who is perfect? Most stagnate or ‘get stuck’ while on their way to being whatever they think perfection is. Making progress is enough. Carrying your Karma lightly is enough.

The Creator’s Balance of Darkness and Light Greetings Beloved Kin, Wherever there is Faith and Hope for a Life in Right Relationship, and the Dream …

A Divine Design of Beauty and Light

Near us in Ocala, FL is Huddys Escape – A magic house

One of the businesses we noticed that was within walking distance to our new apartment, was Huddys Escape. I suppose I was a bit intrigued by it (I had no idea what it was and had never heard of an “escape room”), yet I had loved creating haunted houses when I was young, so it may come as no surprise that I wanted to check it out.

I asked myself the other day, “What makes a good witch?”

When I was young, my best friend and I used to create haunted houses for the neighborhood children. We often dressed up as witches and created slimy bowls of stuff for the children coming through the haunted house to stick their hands in. I’m sure we had to rely more on things like this instead of a bunch of decorations and black light posters due to the cost involved. And it allowed us to put our imagination and creativity to good use.

I think a green witch is good. One that always has fun and adds joy and health to others and herself, not one who is mean-spirited or out for revenge. Greed, lust, jealousy all must go. Only the pure hearted can make the best medicines.

Which witch? I’ll get you my pretty! Haha

I’ve been told I look like a Seer or Mystic

Since I let my hair go gray about 12-14 years ago, I remember a couple different ladies asking me if I was a Seer or Mystic (when meeting them at various natural health fairs or women’s events). And at first, I was taken aback by their comments because at that time I wasn’t really into anything metaphysical, though I always enjoyed the books and movies of the genre.

Now, since my hair is much longer and I’m missing a front tooth, I really think I look the part! Bwahahahaha!

Here I am holding a Labradorite crystal from New Hampshire, and a broom.

Let me know if I’m scary or not.

I couldn’t decide if my broom or lizard (he’s stuffed, don’t worry) or some of my crystals would make better props. So, we got at least one picture with ALL. Do I need a witches hat–over this hair? LOL

About Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Souls Day, Samhain

All of these hallowed dates/festivals occur between October 31 and November 3. One can learn while visiting archaeological tomes that honoring the dead was a ritual practiced by Neolithic peoples some odd 6,000 years ago or more. Considered the original festival, Samhain predated the others and is thought to honor ancestors, the dead, past events or past lives, and open an invitation to the spirit world to visit.

In South Africa, National Geographic paleo-anthropologists digging around in the Homo Naledi caves uncovered pre-human ancestors who buried their dead and etched geometric symbols on walls atop the bodies. These findings seem to date the Homo Sapiens burials 100,000 years earlier than previously thought. No one knows what rituals may have been practiced or if spirit communication was occurring. Though it is surmised that certain practices, which may have had to do with honoring sacred ties to those who had passed on (in particular since the graves were marked with symbology) would surely seem plausible. From my time in Newgrange, another ancient underground burial tomb, I would bet on it.

Most people aren’t comfortable with discussing the topic of Death. But as they say, Death and Taxes are two things no one can avoid. It isn’t a question of IF but of WHEN.

Movies

We watch Young Frankenstein this time of year, every year. It’s one of the movies Richard brought into my life that has became a favorite of mine. Of course I made him suffer through years of The Wizard of Oz and Rocky Horror! LOL

We agree on Beetlejuice though, so there’s that. I used to love Hocus Pocus but have recently had a change of heart about it. And then there’s always the headless horseman flick, what was the name of it?

I am grateful for ALL

Special thanks to Gray Summers for saying something in a recent comment that crystalized this topic for me. (Thought it took me a couple of weeks to put all this together with my outfit/pictures). Happy Halloween everyone!

Is-ness – The snails path

Energy is the power behind ALL. Source creates. ALL rises, falls, undulates, pulsates, spins, whirls, collapses, expands, shrinks. The Dao (Daoism) emanates from the dot. Holism envelopes. ALL simply IS. Omniscience (Omnism) governs ALL.

Pioneering the Snails path. A long and winding road—yes. Not a yellow brick road, but for sure, there are flying monkeys and witches. Hahahahaha!

I am a fractal of Omniscience and so are you—making one grand design. Meditate on the yin and yang ☯️ as a 3, 4, or 5D version which breathes, pulses, undilates, and emanates Light! When the shadow grows larger the lighter portion shrinks but always this symbol seeks its own balance and like water. (Hint: the wavy line in the middle represents—water, movement, and action!)

Yours in expanding, goofy, fun, witchy, revolving, spiraling consciousness,
