Brilliant String of Moments

Each thought you think builds your character. Every action
you take creates your life.

The small moments and the big occasions all go into the
person you are. The public expressions and the private
secrets all weave together to form the fabric of your life.

Every moment counts, because every moment serves as a
starting point for the moment that comes next. All those
details, the ones you can't recall and the ones you can't
forget, have brought you to where you are now.

Every moment counts, and that can be a terribly burdensome
curse or an amazing blessing. It all depends on what you do
with those moments from here on out.

Even when no one is watching, what you do still matters very
much. Even when it seems that there is no way forward,
moment by moment you can surely make your way.

Choose to give your very best to this moment, right here,
right now, and keep on making that positive choice. For
there is no limit to where your life's brilliant string of
moments can lead.

Good to be Here!

Again, thanks for letting me join this super group!

One of my Favorite Prayers

This one hangs on my desk near my monitor:

"Dear God,

Your power is evident all around me,
in the restless motion of the oceans
and the non-stop energy of children at play.
You hold the planets in their orbits
and fuel a billion stars.
Yet, You are as close to me as my breath.
I am humbled as I ponder
Your continuous and limitless creation.
Open my mind, O God.
Awaken the creativity and passion
that you have placed within me.
Teach me how to express You, always.
Thank You.
Thank You.
Thank You!

Daily Thought

If god had wanted me otherwise, he would have created me otherwise.

Images

Rose,
Since taking Reiki class,I have had more vivid dreams,noticed that images I see are almost 3 dimensional. On friday, when coming back from restroom to my office, when I opened the door I felt something? brush past me, I looked and saw blurred image in while. I was awestuck.

Psychometry sounds cool.

What is it?

Shamanic Healing

Aloha Boardies

I have learned through a wonderful teacher the art of shamanic healing as well as shamanic journey. Today I have been blessed and honored to do a healing for one of my friends.
I had little confidence in my abilty to accomplish such a feat but in a previous healing a woman's wound (a burn from a motorcycle pipe), that was was 2 or 3 years unhealed, healed after the shamanic technique.
It appears these healings work when the "wound" is spiritual, emotional, traumatic and energetic, as well as physical.
The "bad energy" that claims parts of the body can be removed and physical healing can begin.
I have been a nurse in the field of conventionl medicine for almost 40 years. In that time I have decided that conventional diagnosis is good and alternative healing is excellent. I always recommend people see a doctor, I am not a doctor.
Herbal medicines, prayer, alternative therpies like accupunture and ancient medicine should not be discounted. Conventional medicine is not the "only" way. If convetional medicine fails to cure you please consider alternative therapies.

love and Light,
~R

And the saga continues....

Aloha Rose,

I know you said the drama would be kept on a low level; however, asc 5-31-89, has returned due to so much drama. It appears to me that although there is alot of instability with syf 6-5-67, asc doesn't care for rules. What will happen with the two of them? What will my husband, lc 9-16-61, and asc have? What will happen in court 16 Feb? Will this finally be the hearing that will end all of the drama? I'm so mentally drained. I'm really tired of all the b/s. Do you see me taking a well needed trip soon, dlc 4-22-66 or having a smile placed on my face soon and happiness?

Namaste,
Mobet

Fully Welcome

"Fully welcome this day with open arms, with a grateful heart,
and you will find it to be a good and productive day.
Welcome the challenges as being a necessary part of life,
and they will strengthen rather than stop you.

Welcome the opinions and perspectives of others, especially
when they differ from yours. For by so doing you'll enable
your own perspective will grow more valuable.

Accept what is, and you will increase your ability to do,
create or have whatever you wish. Live as though there is
the possibility for good in every circumstance, and you'll
discover that it is there indeed.

Relish the cold, dark days just as enthusiastically as the
bright, warm ones. Seek to extract just as much positive
value from the defeats and mistakes as from the victories
and successes.

The majesty of the sunrise would not occur without the
darkness of the night. Effort would be impossible without
rest, and likewise rest without effort.

Seeking only a select portion of life serves to diminish it
all. Embrace the world in all its fullness and delight in
the experience of being thoroughly alive."

Off to NYC for the weekend !!!

Aloha, Rose ~~~

I fly out of Portland tomorrow (Friday) at 11:55, arriving in NYC 8:00 the next morning for a 5-hour (!!!) Teaching Fellows interview that afternoon, coming back Sunday night.

I plan to breathe deep, focus on doing my best during the process, and try to listen to the guidance coming to me from the Universe.

[Oh, and I also plan to catch a half-price Broadway show while I'm there ..... ;) ]

Good thoughts would be much appreciated!

P&L --

Wednesday

Aloha my dearest Boardies

I thank you all for your love, your prayers and support. I'll keep this short....

Prayer works and Truth Floats...ALWAYS! (Ms.Mel I got your letter, thanks and NEVER Doubt the power and integrity of Truth)

Love you all, oh and Ann Marie I love you too.

I've read your questions and will respond this weekend. Deepest apologies for the delay.

Rose

Back at Net Cafe

Aloha Boardies

My computer has decided to spend more time at Super Geeks. Max, from Peru is doing the healing. I'm reading all of your posts and praying with you.
I should have my puter back Monday or Tuesday and then respond to you individually.

I trust my Higher Power will take care of everything. Have Faith, Hope and Trust that the Universe is doing for you what you cannot do for yourself.

Surrender means you don't have to fight anymore.

I love you

Should i be concerned?

Hi Rose, Been awhile since i contacted you, I used patience and let life evolve. But now I do have a concern.
I work for a company Called S&S, I know that they are having money trouble, and closed 3 of their stores last week, and Fired everyone at another of their stores. The one i work at is showing profits, But i am concerned about the whole company. My manager has approached them for the SECOND time about promoting me to Assistant Manager, The first time was a year ago, and after them telling me that i was hired assistant, i waited 7 weeks for the increase in wages to show up on the paycheck, and it never did, so i declined the position and stayed just a cashier., Then my boss fought a battle with cancer, and i pretty much took over for him on his bad days, and of course they didnt do anything. At that time, it didnt matter, i was doing it for my boss.. Not his bosses/Owner. My Question is.....Should I start looking and praying for another source of income ? I added praying because the job market isnt good where i live. SMB 8-12-64

Rose,I plan on taking more Reiki classes. I was amazed with how different I feel and handle things. I totally agree with what you wrote about how we choose to look at life and calmness.I am curious what is this How's the kidsearch going? who comes first? her or him? is he local? where will i meet him?
Love ya,T

Surrender

Aloha Boardies

In the silence I get in touch with a deep serenity. I go into the world and the noise is almost unbearable. Traffic, egos, ching ching of cash registers, jet planes, telephones, cel phones, emergency sirens, all enough to send one's nerves through their skin!

There is nothing to fight over, nothing to fight for. Nothing really matters enough to remove me from my center of peace.

Truth and It's integrity : I believe that deep in everyone's heart they know what's true. There is nothing to fight over. If I am going to master my ego I need to surrender. Surrender means you don't have to fight anymore.

Things just are as they are. There is love because there is hate, war because there is peace, greed because there is generosity, lust because there is celibacy. Cause and effect, yin and yang, attraction and repulsion.

It is in the wakeful detachment that we are free.
What greater gift can we give to the world than to help heal it with kindness, love and compassion, one person at a time.
We are so gifted by Love.

Have a day of beauty, a day of your own intended creation.

love
~R

phone call

Dear Rose,

I received a phone call the other night asking for a Sara Taylor. I told the man that he had the wrong #, and then he asked if this was_______ St. which was my address without the apt. #. I stupidly said yes. He wanted me to get a message to Sara Taylor who lives in another apt. Was this guy verifying my address? I hung up on him after that. Do I have anything to be concerned about? I do fee quite nervous about this incident.

Thanks, MA 050549

Oh my, oh my, oh my !!!

Aloha, Rose ~~~

An update!

The NYC Teaching Fellowship contacted me today, and I have an interview with them -- in NYC -- NEXT WEEK! I have an interview with the Philadelphia Fellowship in March, and have been invited to interview with the D.C. Fellowship (but need to find a date that works for both them and me).

Oh my, oh my, oh my !!!

Young Love

Aloha Rose,

What do you see for my son, mc 2-27-85 and his wife, sc 6-27-86? There marriage has been terribly hard on both of them and draining for his mother-in-law and tiresome mentally. His wife is such a drama queen and calls her mother all the time, who in turn calls me. I tell her to butt out and whatever happens, decision-wise, should be between them. The mother-in-law and my son have this hate-hate relationship. I encouraged my son to be a man and give her a call to talk to her about it. He did and they now have a better understanding; however, there's still drama ahead for them. Will him and his wife work things out and have, at least, a more peaceful marriage? There's also, my grandson, dwc 9-1-05, how will he be effected by their actions and do you see more children soon?

Namaste,
Mobet

Just for fun -- no question .....

..... except, maybe, would you be caught dead like this ??? (LOL)

Over the summer, I was in a little, low-budget, independent film shot in the Portland area. It's still in post-production, so I haven't seen it yet, but the director/producer has a website up so that people can check it out.

I was asked to play two separate roles. The picture above is probably the more memorable of the two ..... (LOL)

Restored through Silence

Aloha Bloggies (formerlly Boardies)... hmm I think I like Boardies better...

I needed to change my luck so I went to Kauai for the weekend. This was a divine gift of inspiration.
Kauai is so visually beautiful but what is most astounding is how quiet it is. I'm actually thinking of relocating and maybe I just need to stay on Oahu so I can enjoy the contrast.
I toured by car and travelled off the beaten path, crossed a one lane bridge and came into a "jungely" area where 2 waterfalls fed into a narrow river. I saw a beautiful Hawaiian man bathing his small child in the river, he looked at me with a beaming smile. I tavelled a little further until the road ended, shut off the car and listened. At that moment I was sitting in the quietest place in the world. I sat. I listened. And in that time of silent listening I became restored. The silence holds all Divinity. That silence is within us. Take the time to sit and listen. Being there is being here is being now... now... now.

I will answer all your posts today.
I love you and it's great to be "HOME".
~R

Teaching Fellowships

Aloha, Rose ~~~

I've applied to the Teaching Fellowship program in three East Coast cities (New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC). So far, two have invited me to interview, and I'm hoping that the third will also.

Do you get a better "feel" for one of these cities over the others? Alternately, should I simply plan to stay here on the West Coast for the near future?

Decisions, decisions, decisions ..... *sighs*

Cheating

Aloha Rose,

I pray all is well for you and you're feeling better. I just finished battling the flu myself about two weeks ago and its tough but us Taurus' are tough cookies to crumble.

I found out that lc 9-16-61 has been searching on the internet for a mate/matchup. How long has this been going on, has he found someone and has he had an affair? What's going on w/him?

Namaste,

Prayer Request

Hi Rose and Bloggies,
I am asking for prayers for a friend's 19 year old nephew who has a blood clot near his heart. The family is working on getting him from American Samoa to Hawaii for treatment.
If you all can pray for him I would appreciate it.Thanks
Love,T

Flu View an Island Perspective

Aloha Bloggies

I am battling a flu relapse and am tired of feeling like yuk. I speak to people all over the country and so many I speak to have been effected to one degree or another. This is what I saw on Oahu:
1) Everyone was FINE and a Flu Season Warning was issued.
2) Word was out that flu Vaccine was in low supply.
3) People Rushed to get vaccinated with flu vaccine.
4) People were thereby Given The Flu via innoculation.
4) The People who were Vaccinated with the flu Became Carriers.
5) They Infected Everyone Else.

Is it just me or is there something really wrong with this epidemic that continues to repeat every year???

Two herbs that are helpful for me and are available in the health food store: Sambucol and Host Defense.
Chicken soup for all!
and poor babies :)

Love,T
Ok this love that is coming will be long term? any more details?

Sunday 1/8

Good Morning Blog o'licious Ones

I really hated to let go of 2005, I had a sense of "waiting for the other shoe to drop". 2005 was GREAT for me.

So, the first week of 2006 has been like this:
Computer collapse and repair ($$$)
Plumbers punched a hole in my living room wall.
Plumbers return and make the hole bigger and repair pipe.
Wall repairman proposes drying out hole in wall requiring 24 hours of noise for 5 days so bad you need ear plugs to sleep. And, he says "it will be a little warm in the place." How warm? I inquire. Oh, "about 100 degrees" he says casually. At which point I freak out and plan our relocation. This is by far not a done deal.
Next I get a mild case of the flu and have to work all week with it.

SO how does a spiritual midget like myself cope?? Well, first I freak out and THEN I surrender. How does one surrender? It begins with a deep breath, the thought "God You gotta help me", then exhale and lay the burden down at the Feet of the Universe.
I totally trust that I am being taken care of by the Higher Power. The deeper the Trust the more the relief.
We are Blessed and Protected 24/7. What Joy!

love
~R

Also, my son got into something both serious and sensitive. What do you see happening? lcj 5-21-93 Does he know how much I love and support him?

Namaste,

New Day New Computer New (?) Thoughts

Aloha Bloggies

I'm back. The computer is repaired and I breathe easier. I don't know when I became so computer dependent, everything I need is in here! That is, except The Divine Light of Eternal Wonderment and Knowing, which animates this Entire darn thing.

I know this day is great because it is absorbed with the Wisdom of the Universe!
What separates me from this Glory and Goodness? Nothing. Then why do I feel apart from ALL of this Good?

Ego driven activity is the unreality. It is disgusied and feels Holy becuase it is permeated by the Holy.

The only thing that exists is a field of change. Why do I choose to be attached to the impermanent? "Trading your birthright for a handful of coins. What a sorry exchange indeed."

Sometimes it takes a LOT of work to be happy, joyous, kind, compassionate, patient and "nice". And why do I choose that? Because it makes me feel good. And sometimes I need ALL the help I can get to remain optimistic, there are SO many challenges. This is when I call on the Higher Power. I ask "PLEASE, get me through this day/moment/hour." or "Please help me stay calm (detached, loving etc.)" Sometimes I wonder WHY does the Universe require me to be this good?!

And then...something happens and I realize that I can feel your love, your trust and belief in your God. I feel the Presence of the Animating Force and I am in tune. This is so glorious! and When we pray for each other we can feel it.

So for today and tomorrow lets pray for each other. Lift each other up and pray for our mutual joy and bliss.

Love you my Precious Bloggies,
~R
