The Little Girl Knows
The State of Things… I spent the last 3 hours on the phone with the IRS and the mortgage company. ARGH! Both agencies’ representatives gave me incorrect information that made a significant difference in how to resolve things…can I be anymore vague? Well for the skinny on this, tune into bctv.org on Monday, 3/21, at 9 pm for all the details. Too many people are losing their homes to the incompetence of these monoliths and it MUST be exposed and cease! Does anyone know the proper procedures anymore or are we all just pushing things over to someone else who doesn’t know too? Guest Hector Cruz from Reading’s Neighborhood Housing Services will be available for questions.

Today’s ponder…Codependency and Drama go hand in hand and give the codependent the same type of rush that an addict gets when using. Similar activity is ignited in the brain and the obsession for Crisis is irresistable unless personal intervention is sought and applied.
Several weeks ago, I attended the NGH convention in Marlborough, MA. I planned to attend numerous workshops and trainings on techniques to aid people with health, addictions, stress, clutter, fears and phobias. One training that I attended was titled Molecular Visualization.
The theme of the training appears obvious. One can heal by visualizing daily a curing of the molecules within the DNA. Sound extreme? Ridiculous? Many will think so. Skeptics will guffaw at this proposal. Others will be encouraged and challenged to use the body’s natural ability to heal.
Our bodies are hard wired to always reach a state of homeostasis, achieving a balance within. When there is something out of whack, a need is created in the brain to correct this imbalance. If the inconsistency continues, the body will regroup around it. So, if we are always getting sick, the body will see that as normal and will adjust to that state. Make sense? Do you know people that are always sick? Chronic illness is something we create. Ouch! Of course it is not intentional.
When we are asked as children, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I can guarantee none of us said, “I think that I will be sick often and be unable to do things that I like to do.” Nor do you hear, “I want to go to college, get married, become an alcoholic or drug addict or gambler or fill in the blank and ruin my relationships, lose my job and self respect.”
The majority of us want wonderful things when we are children. Our dreams are supported by those who love us. So how come these things happen in people’s lives?
Fate? Karma? Random action? Deliberate creation? Living by default? What do you think?

There was no “there” there
Before I begin… 2 shout outs: Happy 25th Anniversary of Buckyballs Happy 75th Anniversary of the March of Time newsreels
Earl was quite anticlimactic, all hype with no substance. The news media had all senses at a fever pitch with visions of destruction and devastation. The public was whipped up into a frenzy of fear and uncertainties. Even I was ready to flee. Then I listened to my quiet inner voice (Yes, I do have a QUIET inner voice) and decided to follow it and stay.
Then Earl arrived and beige. No drama. No excitement. It was simply a storm with gray skies and white caps.
Sure, the surf came up to the dunes and there was some wind but nothing to speak of. Oh, I did see a flock of birds that flew; no they were blown by my window horizontally. Yes the entire flock in formation went WHOOSH down the beach.
(I tried to upload pix of during and after but it didn’t complete. Check back from time to time to see if they appear)
By 6 PM, the sun was out and people were on the beach playing in the sand. It was as though earlier never happened.
Don’t misunderstand. I was not disappointed. I am simply pointing out how the media plays on our emotions and our fright. And we allow that manipulation.
I don’t know about you but I don’t like feeling afraid. My stomach churns and I feel like I’m going to puke. My sphincter clenches too and no one likes when that happens. Am I right?
The best thing that I can do is to claim the light and dispel the boogeyman when he appears, no matter in what form. Come. Join me. As someone I know says, we don’t go into a room and turn on the dark switch.
Fear mongers are all around us and we give them our power by buying into what they are selling. They can appear in many different forms; the media, politicians, ministers, doctors, siblings, spouses, other family and friends.
Follow your inner voice. There is where the truth lives. There is where source resides. There is your Light Switch.
Remember…All is well all the time.
From Stress to Mindfulness
Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE water, bathing, swimming, drinking it. (Pisces, go figure) It cleanses and purifies.
Thanks & Love
Relaxation
Mindfulness is a wonderful state where one simply observes what is with no judgment, no thought, no opinion. Being simply an observer is an eye opening experience because what happens first when something is brought into consciousness is usually a thought with an evaluation connected to it. I begin to realize how judgmental I am about everything as are we all. A thought (stimulus) occurs and we need to categorize it, put it into some semblance of safe or unsafe. The oldest part of our brain, the lizard brain, is wired to identify the flight or fight response. So it is natural, biologically speaking, that we do this.
Truth
What happens after that initial response is satisfied, we begin to form opinions about what the stimulus is. Here is where mindfulness comes in. Without being mindful, we react to what we experience. Mindfulness gives the individual a choice to take away the emotional charge.
For instance, today, I was sunning myself at the pool while in trance as I listened to a meditation track on my Zen. A family was next to me with 2 small children. I heard their cooler lid slam shut. First thought was identifying it, followed closely by an annoyed feeling categorizing this as unacceptable and rude. Then Mindfulness stepped in and I was able to release the emotional charge and return to my meditation.
Happiness
Not too later after I finished my meditation, my sister commented on how annoying the children and the slamming cooler lid was to her. I stated that I only heard the lid slam shut 1 x.
Thank You
What a relief to have this tool.
Hope

My Name is Earl
Okay, here I am waiting with the rest of Ocean City for Earl to arrive. All outside furniture and other objects that can become shrapnel (like small cars) have been moved inside or battened down. I hope that my Cavalier doesn’t become airborne. (Never happen. Not with everything I keep in it. Isn’t that right Peggy?)
Actually as I am typing, strangers are tying things (including small animals and children) to my car to secure them.
I hear on the news that the beaches will be closed tomorrow. How do they do that? Do they build a sand gate up the coast like SpongeBob to keep people out or do they actually remove the beach?
It was also reported that there may be some road flooding esp. in the downtown area and that they have posted high water signs. Oh, am I relieved. I only hope that the water can read the signs.
Seriously, the surf is out of control and surfers are getting ready for action.
The news media is of course propagating fear to the public along with a stony faced news anchor and Hurricane Earl’s personally composed scary background music. (OOOOOOOO)
Have to go now. On my way to the cellar with the bottles water and candles.
TTFN Remember… All is well…all the time.

Before I begin, just a note… It is my intention to enter ponderous words of encouragement, entertainment, enlightenment and fun (you know, the 3 E’s and F) daily. (ooh, a chill goes down my spine as I state this. What if I don’t? What if I fail? Then all is lost and I must hide in a hole for all eternity…Whoa is me.) O well. So check back or subscribe to this blog in order to feast on my sumptuous thoughts. Thanks for all that take the challenge!
Now onto the main course…
Domination?
Thank you dear friends! Earl appears to have taken another turn due to your energy efforts. I AM STAYING!
Today the waves are remarkable. Full, intense, powerful.
Yesterday, I watched people, both big and small, being battered by the force of the tide. The lifeguards should have been compensated hazard pay.
Of course all this happened as I sat peacefully in the surf listening to Abraham. What a marvelous way to spend a day! Watching the carnage of struggling, battered vacationers as I rampaged in bliss. Oh well, Such is life.
Today I choose to think thoughts that fill me with joy and allowing as I once more sit in the surf and watch my fellow travelers attempt to push against something more powerful than them all the while wondering how many times in life I do the same thing only to find myself battered and exhausted. OOOOOOOO, Time to ponder.
Remember, All is well…always! TTFN.

At the beach, waiting to see what Hurricane Earl decides to do. Do we stay or flee? My dear metaphysical friends have assured me that tonight @ 9 PM, they will send lots of energy this way and blow Earl right off the map! Thanks friends.
As I sit here on the beach watching the rough surf and rip current, I close my eyes and the sound of the tide is hypnotic. It sounds like a train traveling from the right to the left and then left to the right over and over again until I feel lulled into a peaceful place. Right to left. Left to right. Over and over again. Right to left. Left to right. Rhythmically repeating. Right to left. Left to right. Never-ending. Right to left. Left to right. Over and over again.
Ah what a wonderful way to relax and feel the peace that each of us deserve to feel every day.
I seem to forget…All is well, always!

2 weeks ago I rec’d a piece of mail that I recognized because the handwriting on the envelop was mine. I figured that I was a goal sheet that I filled out earlier this year. This is a common exercise it which desired goals for a designated time frame are written down, placed in a sealed, stamped envelop and addressed to the person writing these goals. It is then given to someone else to hold and to mail at some time in the future. (This is a great exercise that helps one to be reminded of goals set and to appreciate the progress made.) Oh well, back to my mail, since I assumed that it was a goal sheet and set it aside for another time when I would have quiet time to review.
It sat for approx 2 weeks. When I opened it, this is what I read:
Dear Elizabeth, my beloved, delightful, blessed child,
I am providing all that you desire and more. Simply ask.
I love you even before you knew you.
You are so wonderfully spreading the truth at workshops, trainings and all places that need your gifts of truth, laughter and music.
All the doors that you thought were previously closed are open wide to provide you with all prosperity.
You no longer doubt or worry for you know that you are loved and cared for. Your talents are numerous and wanted by so many.
You are blessed greatly in all aspects including spiritual and financial. You are comfortable in your healthy body. Many gifts shower upon you and you have so many loving and beautiful relationships.
You are blessed and you are one of my most favorite children.
I am always with you.
Love, God
Too much? Maybe. But all that I know is that it raised my day! (Try it yourself. It may raise your day and you may find that you like it!)
