When I started the jewelry business it wasn’t a business idea. Rather, it was something to do with my hands when I couldn’t find the words to write.
Then people started buying my designs and I discovered I loved creating beaded jewelry.

Yesterday I blogged a little, after a long absence. In my post, I talked a bit about writer’s block. I even mentioned, in passing, that the tarot cards might help me out, or bring clarity.

Hunger is enough. Hunger for change, for experiences, for fulfillment. Hunger is key. It leads to growth, maturity, illumination. When hunger subsides, death ensues. Towers fall. Accept, learn, then move on. Cycles or phases are part of the natural ebb … Continue reading Feed your hunger
The other day I left a comment on Snippets of Snapdragon’s blog. She said something about not having a lot of friends, which is interesting but not uncommon to read here in our personal blogs.
This is how I reacted:

I’ve always had a strong sense of smell, possibly inherited from my maternal grandmother. She, too, expressed her keen sense of smell whenever she became alert to some odour, such as the gas being left on in the kitchen, or a specific type of cooking aroma wafting through the air into her vicinity.
I type this from my bedroom at my mom’s house, sitting propped against pillows on my futon, hot coffee on the side table. I was reading a book about neuroscience when suddenly, I smelled toast. 🍞

Imagine placing a fresh slice of lemon into your mouth.
Now take a moment and observe what happens in your mouth as you imagine sucking on this fresh piece of lemon slice.
When you’re done, note down how you reacted, what you felt, what you thought.

I arrive at the foot of the mountain, ready to climb the switchbacks.
I’m excited; what mysterious adventures lie beyond the mountain?

During a particularly discombobulating part of my day, incidentally the day prior to my son’s 17th birthday, I’ve been doing tarot cards all day.
*Doing tarot cards* is ClaudetteSpeak™ for trying to read cards for the Blogger’s Collective on YouTube and failing.

This was me at my Sunday evening event.
I gotta tell you, I’m riding a high here that has me filled with such joy and happiness – if you get a chance to go to an immersive show (Van Gogh is one of many, we also have Claude Monet and Gustav Klimt in Toronto) you must go!
Continue reading “Endless possibilities abound”There are numerous influencers, professionals and every day ordinary folk who aim to teach us about the Law of Attraction, manifestation and similar hocus-pocus.
Do you believe you can create your own reality? Do you believe in manifestation?
It’s an interesting concept that stems from this idea:
How you think is how you act which in turn is how you feel.
Actually, it’s a little more complicated than that. Or maybe it’s not complicated at all. What I do know is that they have science now about this topic. Neurological science, with brain scans and things…
I’m going to talk about this a little…

On Tuesday (2sday), February (02) 22, 2022 at 2:22 pm I was busy lugging a hockey bag to the car in the pissing rain.

All day I’d been sending messages to people to look out for 2:22 pm on that special day. All day I anticipated this time so I could mark it as special and be divinely inspired (or something).
But then I got sidetracked and suddenly I was late to pick up kids, and it was raining, and the boy had a hockey tryout so I had to get his gear into the car because there wasn’t enough time to come home to pick it up yada yada… I missed the whole event.
But that’s not the end of my number 2 thing I experienced this week. It’s been… weird. Like I live in some sort of alternate dimension.

Do you tend to focus on what you want? Or does your focus shift to what you don’t want?
