Hello People!!!
I’m a day late for my Half Moon Book Review *) but it will post later today! In the meantime, here’s a snippet of what’s been going on in my life for your own, personal amusement.
* * * * * * * * * * *
I’ve been trying to get some form of exercise on a daily basis, and the harder I try, the more miserably I seem to fail at it. A few weeks ago I decided that the next morning, Monday, I was going to get off my butt and start running again.
I woke up with my back out, and barely able to move. Then, after two days, when I finally started to be able to move more freely, I came down with a flu that took me through another week and a half.
A while back, I also went through a really weird loss of control when I was reading Marianne Williamson’s, A Course in Weightloss. Apparently I have some very serious beliefs and thought patterns related to my body and my weight. Which isn’t really surprising. Who HASN’T had their heads filled with garbage about their bodies?
I watched a documentary called Fat Head that really changed the way I was thinking about food. It’s still pretty far off base as far as I’m concerned because it promotes things I don’t agree with, but taking a more personally tailored approach which includes home cooked, organic produce, and using my own amazing powers of common sense, I’ve found myself eating a low carb diet.
I know our epiphanies are our own, and they’re never as amazing to anyone else, and that’s why I’m not going to babble on about my whole body realization. The short of it is, I realized that to love, honor, and respect my body is to invite God to experience and create through it. It’s like cleaning the temple in anticipation of the King’s arrival.
I decided a more structured morning routine was in order. I make routines, but I’m not so strong with the following of them. It’s that Aries in me :)
My new, whole being, morning routine is now as follows…
** Body ** Go jog. Seven and a half minutes out, alternating jogging and walking measured by the distance between phone poles. Then seven and a half minutes back. Only 15 minutes. I can do that.
** Spirit ** Come through the door, out of breath and sweating, pour a glass of water and drink it on the way to my chair. Open a 15 minute meditation timer, tip my head back and just breathe. My mind is clear after exercise, and my body is exhausted. Why not use that to my advantage?
** Mind ** When the meditation timer dings, I refill my water, and grab an apple from the fridge before I reset the 15 minute meditation timer, and pick up whatever Spiritually natured book I am currently reading.
And if I go in directly and shower after my reading, I can knock the whole thing out in an hour. A one hour daily devotion dedicated to honoring myself, and in doing so, I’m inviting God and my Angels to work through me, because I’ve created a holy and sacred environment within me.
I have been working this routine perfectly for two days now.
Yesterday and today.

Yesterday~ The Gas Whisperer
I leave to go to the store. I HAVE to get gas. I’m a little worried I won’t make it to the station. I take a deep breath and thank my Angels for their assistance in getting me there and for bringing me peace.
The last time I did that, it was a mind blowing experience, so I was confident that all would be well. Wouldn’t you know it, I had the exact same experience again!
I saw the gas station sign as I approached and it said $3.78. I looked away a moment and glanced back up and watched the sign change to $3.89.
CRAP! What should I do? But then I knew. And I had to be right because if I got to the other place at all, I wouldn’t be able to go anywhere else. I was running on fumes. And so I went for it.
A couple miles down the road, the sign comes into view as I approach…. $3.75!! Even cheaper than the original price at the other station!!
And then, in my shock, as I was pulling in, I said, out loud…. Oh my God, I’m like… The Gas Whisperer…. which made me start to giggle a lot harder than one might think. (LOL)
There is only two pumps and there were already four cars parked next to them, but as I pulled in, in a fit of giggles, all four cars pulled away and seemed to circle the pumps on their way out as though they were choreographed. It was really odd. But I pulled right up and filled my tank ALL the way up.

Yesterday Evening ~ Affirmational Assault
I have recently reconnected with a girl who grew up across the street from me. We were best friends. We even did that whole “blood sister” thing when we were like, 9 and 10. We’ve lost touch and reconnected several times through the years. It’s always almost like we’ve never been apart when we come back together. We were always close.
We were having a very Spiritual and philosophical conversation on the phone yesterday evening and we got to talking about how I feel about the law of attraction and how I believe the Universe operates, and the evidence I’ve seen in my own life.
Then the conversation turned to money when she found a dollar in a pair of jeans out of the dryer while we were on the phone and she exclaimed, “I love how I keep finding money everywhere!!”
I was absolutely blown away by being given such a BEAUTIFUL soapbox from which to preach (LOL), and I took the opportunity. I started to tell her how that was a wonderful affirmation, and how if every time she finds ANY money, she would make that declaration, she would find that there would be a lot more found money in her future.
I said…
Every thought is a prayer. God doesn’t stop listening… you just stop being aware of the presence. Say things about money that make you happy, like…. I love finding money! I love when people GIVE me money!! I feel SO good when I know I have enough money. I feel so relaxed and contented when money flows easily to me. I love winning money! I love GIVING money!! I love that the world is just one big energy stew and that I can have as much money energy as I want!! I love that there’s always enough!
It was quite a little rampage I went on.

And Today ~
I won $70 on a lottery ticket this morning.

Ironically, I spent $72 yesterday to fill my gas tank.
