  • What Happens Tomorrow?

    …..this is such a common question I hear from clients. It is so easy in the process of magick to get caught up in the minutia of day to day events, and lose our sight of the long term goal.

    "S/he un-friended me on FB"

    "S/he has a new friend on FB"

    "S/he saw me online but did not chat with me"

    "S/he drove past me but did not wave"

    etc etc etc

    the list could go on, but you get the idea (PS these are REALLY very common things I hear from folks, I am in no way singleling anyone out at all – please dont think that). While in the moment, and with the emotional state we can be in with casting and processing (Yup – the spell CASTER does some processing as well) I can see how these events listed above, and others, can make one thing the world is falling apart…..but if we just take a beat, and a few deep breaths, and set our sights on the long term goal again, things will resume there proper perspective – I promise! Waiting is hard – I often think it is the hardest part of things – but it is also the extremely important! The calmer and more centered and more positive you can stay in the waiting peroid, the better shape you will be in physically, emotionally, and spiritually when your results begin to manifest 😉 That is NOT to be underrated. You cant give from an empty cup, and there arent any awards for handwringing, either. Make the best of the waiting period, keep your eye on the GOAL LINE, not on the ant on the blade of grass at your feet right now, and you will get to the finish line a healthier, fuller YOU.

    Hmmmm – not sure where that rant came from, but I feel better now 😉

    Anyway, here is a song I found (its a goodie) to help you keep your eye on the goal, and let go of the stress of today.

    What Happens Tomorrow by Duran Duran

    Child, don't you worry
    It's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
    Brings you down the news they sell you
    To put in your mind that all mankind is a failure

    But nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
    We try not to show how frightened we are
    If you let me I'll protect you however I can

    You've got to believe
    it'll be alright in the end

    Fighting, because we're so close
    There are times we punish those who we need the most
    No, we can't wait for a saviour
    Only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour

    And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
    We try not to show how frightened we are
    It would seem lonely, if you were the only star in the night

    You've got to believe
    it'll be alright in the end

    You've got to believe
    it'll be alright again

    time is a river
    a silent icy river
    pulls us all
    running deep
    deep and fast enough to get lost down in the flow
    thrashing around me
    tiny lives mean everything

    And nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
    So don't let go, now we've come this far
    Hope I have peace
    Understand me
    you're never alone

    We've got to believe
    it'll be alright in the end

    nobody knows

    You've got to believe
    it'll be alright my friend

    So don't let go

    Unless we believe
    it'll be alright again

    Nobody knows

  • Take time to……..

    This poem goes right hand in hand with what is happenin' over on Mambo Sam's blog. I hope you enjoy it and are doing well with Mambo's exercises~

     

    Take time to…. by Anon.

    Take time to think; it is the source of power.
    Take time to need; it is the foundation of wisdom
     
    Take time to play; it is the secret of staying young.
    Take time to be quiet; it is the opportunity to seek thy soul.
     
    Take time to be aware; it is the opportunity to help others.
    Take time to love and be loved; it is God's greatest gift.
     
    Take time to laugh; it is the music of the soul.
    Take time to be friendly; it is the road to happiness.
     
    Take time to dream; it is what the future is made of.

    Take time to meditate; it is the greatest power on earth.

  • Something to think about………..

    “Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”

I would VERY MUCH like to hear your take on this and what this story meant to you – what was your take home message from this? Please do post your comments!

    The Journey to Love
     
    One fine summer's day a handsome young man named Dick and a beautiful young woman named Jane met and decided to go on a trip together.  They had heard of a miraculous place called Love, where they would feel the most magical and wonderful feelings they had ever felt, where all of their deepest dreams and desires would be fulfilled, and where they would live happily ever after. Since they weren't sure where Love was, they went to a travel agent to ask for directions. The travel agent took their money and led them to a special shimmering spiral path that got higher yet deeper with every step.  "Have fun, my dears! And oh yes, you may skip if you like!" Dick grabbed Jane's hand and they skipped around the spiral, laughing and singing as they went.
     
    Suddenly their euphoria was interrupted by a bedraggled older man crawling on his hands and knees. "Go back! Go back while you still can! Don't go any further! I lost everything I had in Love!"
     
    What an odd, strange man thought Dick and Jane. Whatever was he talking about? How could you possibly lose anything in Love? He was just too peculiar to take seriously, so they skipped right by him, their singing drowning out his pathetic, pleading voice.
     
    The sun was shining brilliantly, and fragrant wildflowers were blooming abundantly all around them as they merrily skipped along the path to Love. 
     
    They soon came upon a middle-aged couple, walking slowly toward them. The couple walked about fifteen feet apart yet in some grotesque way seemed to be walking together, though curiously their eyes never met. Each looked bored, apathetic, even depressed. Their bodies were alive but their souls seemed to have died a long, long time ago.
     
    Dick smiled and greeted the couple. "Lovely day, isn't it?" he beamed. No response, just a dull blank stare. Jane took up the cause. "Have you been to Love?" The woman raised her eyebrows slightly. The question seemed to bring a faint smile to her lips. She nodded her head weakly but said nothing. The man was now walking ahead of her.
     
    Dick and Jane held each tighter, then laughed a nervous giggle. Their exuberance clearly a decibel lower, they shrugged their shoulders and moved on. They KNEW that Love was the most wonderful place in the whole wide world. They congratulated themselves on their great judgment, and expressed sadness that not all couples were as smart as they.
     
    The terrain became a bit steeper, and a few clouds began to appear in the sky as a smiling, handsome, charismatic man walked toward them. "Hello fine sir," Dick said. "Have you been to Love?"  "Oh yes, it's a wonderful place indeed!" Relieved, Jane said, "Oh that's great to hear because we've met a few quirky people who didn't seem to really like Love that much." The man continued. "Well, to tell you the truth, I never go past this point myself. I can't see a good reason to go any farther. But I do enjoy the journey from the beginning to here so much, I just keep going back and doing it over and over again. I love Love!"
     
    Dick looked puzzled. "But is this Love? Are we there yet? The path continues as far as I can see!" The man laughed loudly. "No you're right, technically you're not even close to Love. But hey, don't get hung up on details. Come back to the beginning with me. Start all over again with someone new. The weather's always great and the scenery is gorgeous!"
     
    Dick was tempted, but Jane insisted they go on. After all, they were different than all the others. They KNEW what Love was and how to get there. And she certainly didn't want to go to Love with anyone other than Dick. 
    Soon the skies grew dark and menacing, and an intense thunderstorm filled the sky with sound and fury. They desperately looked for shelter. A friendly couple appeared out of nowhere, who offered them an umbrella and invited them into a dry cave to share some tea and conversation. Dick and Jane instantly felt safe and open with this warm and engaging couple. They realized the man was blind, and they felt sorry for him. Yet he seemed so happy! And he radiated the calm aura of one who can see the deepest truth in any situation.
     
    "Have you two been to Love?" Jane asked. The man laughed. "Oh yes, in fact we're there right now! But it's a long journey, you see, and you must be prepared." Dick responded. "What do you mean prepared? We were just told to follow this path." The blind man went on. "Well for any journey to be safe and successful, be it to Love, Chicago or Tibet, you need a trusty road map and guidebook, to benefit from the learnings of those who have gone before you; you need a reliable vehicle to get you there; you need people you can call for help if you should get sick or break down before reaching your destination; and you need enough extra supplies to protect you so you'll survive when the going gets rough. Do you have these things?" A twinkle seemed to emanate from his eye.
     
    Jane stammered. "Well, we…I mean we sort of…" Dick jumped in. "Oh yes, we're very ready for this journey."
     
    The blind man smiled as the sky began to clear. "Well good then. Because if you're prepared, the journey to Love will be the most wonderful journey of your life. I wish you all the best." He extended his hands outward. They embraced for a long moment, and Jane thanked the couple for their kindness. Dick opened the umbrella, grabbed Jane's hand, and together they headed out into the light rain. Without saying a word, perfectly in sync, they turned and slowly began walking back, back down the path together, gently squeezing their interlocked hands.

  • You have the ability to make someone’s day!

    There's one sad truth in life I've found
    While journeying east and west –
    The only folks we really wound
    Are those we love the best.
    We flatter those we scarcely know,
    We please the fleeting guest,
    And deal full many a thoughtless blow
    To those who love us best.
    ~Ella Wheeler Wilcox

    So, what are you waiting for ????? Do something nice for someone you love today!
