Whew! Finally finished the readings (all 35 of them) and am glad to have that done with (or get an ass-whupping from my own Guides) and what wonderful feedback! I was going to print some but it felt too much like I was tooting my own horn so you’ll just have to imagine it. I am definitely ready to go public with this now. Next step is getting my own little basic website up.

Surprise! I am actually very anal about things like that and can spend hours and hours seeking out just the right font. And that’s not good and it surely doesn’t help get the site out there. So, my agreement with my own self this time (not with the angels) is to put one up even if it’s simple and without the perfect font. Just have a place to point people to go when they want to know more about my readings and me. (I don’t think the general population is ready for ye olde Snarkypants, hmm?)

In other news – cookies are done! And I think I’ve eaten enough to keep me away from them for years months, oh hell, you get it. I love these cookies! Therefore, I am taking them into work for my buddy, PattyMac. She’s a size 0 so can eat them without concern. I am not quite a 0 so, you know. Not so much without the concern. Pics of cookies posted later.

And … started a new puzzle. 504 pieces. I cannot begin to tell you how overwhelmed I am looking at all those pieces. Give me your deepest emotional pain and I am right there with you. But give me 504 pieces of a puzzle and I am totally overwhelmed and want to run away. This, my friends, just goes to show you how hard it is for me to come down out of my little mental world into the physical and, of course, exactly the reason my coach has suggested this project. Blargh.

Oh yeah, and it’s Monday. Wheee!

… I got answers! (sort of, anyway)

The Darling Gal asked this question in the comments on the post “To-Do List from the angels”

“Just woo-woo curious — Do you ever know the final outcome? Do the angels know what’s going to happen and report, or can they change what’s going to happen? Sorry if these are remedial questions, but I’m new to understanding the woo-woo.”

Good question! I have a tendency to think that everyone understands “the woo” in the same way I do so I always appreciate questions that remind me to explain myself better. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do that, Gal!

I shall caveat my answer with this: this is how *I* understand it to be. I am not saying that it’s THE way (mostly since I don’t think there is ONE way for anything) but it’s the way it feels to me. That said, let me see if I can clarify things.

Guides and teachers cannot interfere with your free will. You are the one who always makes the choices and can change them at any time. Imagine a board of advisors who sit with you at a round table. You are sharing with them what your intentions are for the next year. They can offer you suggestions as to what might be a good way to get there. They can also offer alternatives. In the end, though, it’s always down to you to make the final decision.

In addition, they cannot offer guidance unless you invite them to do so. The only time (again, as I understand it) they can jump in unbidden is if your life is in danger and it’s not your soul’s wish to leave the physical plane. Unless you’re Bella in Twilight, that doesn’t happen too often.

In my case, my Guides know that my heart’s desire (besides David Cook, being tall and thin and baby-holding) is to broaden my work as an intuitive. I’ve clearly put that intention out there and allowed the Universe to assist me with it. My part in it is to remain conscious (as opposed to in a coma? heh) and note the “coincidences” that come to me with regard to that intention. Like the blue balloons that I got as a response to my hysterical whining in the car that one time, or that I got two requests for intuitive readings and the individuals offered to pay me for them. (Not that it’s such a shock but I didn’t ask for payment at all and it was a really nice validation that the work I do will help support me financially.)

Gal also asked if the angels know the outcome – because the free will thing comes into play, the answer is no. You put the intention out there and ask for help. Then you pay attention to what comes in front of you – opportunities, coincidences, shifts and changes in things around you. At any time, you can change your route and your guides will be right there alongside you like a trusted team of advisors and friends who want only your highest good. Doesn’t mean weird stuff won’t happen to you as you move along that path. But if you ask “what is the lesson in this?” and really try to understand it from that perspective, the weird stuff flows through a bit faster.

I hope that answered your questions, G. Again, this is from my reading but more importantly, my experience. The readings I’ve done for everyone have been like that. The Guides nudge you a bit where you are slacking off, or help you see things that you might not notice. I truly find that the more I work with them collaboratively, the more things seem to come together and flow.

Ever since I made the offer to do intuitive readings for friends on a forum, I have had such an amazing sense of heightened awareness. It’s as if I’ve taken a leap to a whole new level. I’m still working through them (have about 8 to go – there were about 32 requests total) and do about 2-3 at a time. The feedback has been great – it’s nice to hear that what comes through resonates with those who asked. It’s also helped remind me that *this* is my work here at this time. The more I do it, the clearer I get.

Which brings me to …. the To-Do list I got yesterday morning. It was for a week’s worth of activities.

1. Finish all readings by end of the week
2. work on new (401 piece!!) puzzle
3. ride bike for 15 mins 3x
4. work on website for offering intuitive readings
5. Once that’s up and ready, post on Twitter with special offer for readings
6. Apply to Slade Roberson’s Professional Intuitive Training Program (more on this in a bit)

It was literally *that* clear. And you guys know that when I get guidance (especially when it’s that specific), I am bound to do it. If I don’t, I usually get a swift kick in the ass in the form of that horrible “Why didn’t I listen?” feeling and consequences to follow. It took me about 3 of those before I got it. Not fun.

I think much of the clarity has to do with my action lately – getting out there and offering the readings. For me, doing the reading is the easy part. It’s putting myself out there as an intuitive that is a bit harder to do. (Who knows why? I mean, if you know me at all IRL or even here, I’m pretty open about being quite the woo-woo chick so that whole fear of being out there baffles me.)

Andrea Hess, whom I found through Slade, has created a course on manifesting which is, honestly, amazing in how it takes a pretty huge concept and brings it down into actionable steps. She manages to bridge the piece that most people leave out – taking action here in the physical in addition to setting the energetic vibration. I’m going to talk more about this in another post and share with you what I’m working on around that. I mention it here because it’s all tied in together with the huge downloads of information and guidance I’m getting.

The time for me sitting around and spacing out is, for the most part, gone. I’m definitely not sitting my ass in the middle of the road, waiting and hoping. I’m (finally) moving and as I move, things shift in pretty profound ways. They have already and I trust – TRUST – with all my heart the guidance that I’m getting. I don’t know the end result, don’t know how I’m going to get there. I do know that I will understand what the next right step is and as long as I continue to take action, it will be to my highest good.

So, there you have it. Lots going on, no?

Notes from the field:

1. Cousin O’Love and her husband, let’s call him Excel Man prepared the Thanksgiving feast and what a feast it was! Straight from Gia’s kitchen we had the most wonderful food prepared with impeccable timing thanks to his use of some foreign thing called a “timeline”. I know not of this thing but apparently, it seems to work. Most of the meal was right on schedule (more or less). His time as the Goddaughter of Love’s kitchen minion was well spent. He learned at the hands of a master. When they open a Bed & Breakfast (by the beach, preferably) I shall be one of their happiest customers.

2. I did not get out of my pajamas Friday at all. I spent the day doing intuitive readings and hanging out with all kinds of Guide teams. I’m pretty sure this is at the forefront of my work because I love it, for one thing and for another, the feedback I’m getting is that their words really resonate with those who have asked for the readings. This makes my bitty high heart happy.

3. I watched two of my favorite movies on Friday as well – Enchanted and Return to Me. Oh, to be a princess in New York, wandering around, dancing with strangers and making dresses out of curtains! Or having the man of my dreams (or David Duchovney, doesn’t matter) follow me to Italy to tell me he loves me. If you haven’t seen either of these movies, I highly recommend them.

4. My “stop looking all puffy” diet began yesterday – and had I not already been in that mindset, I would have after seeing pics from Thanksgiving. Oh. My. God. This has been a weird eating year. I went from fasting for 12 days in January and doing so well and feeling great to swinging up to my highest post gastric bypass weight in 12 years. What the hell? At any rate, I’m done. While eating whatever I wanted felt good in the short-term, long-term it feels like crap. I feel like crap. My body is too good to me to continue to treat it this way. So, back to counting carbs and a bit of calories. And yes, I know. What a challenge to do this at the holiday season. Am I nuts? (don’t answer that)

5. Is there a reason that all media attention is on Tiger Woods and his accident other than lurid curiosity? No? Okay. Honestly, leave the dude alone. It ain’t anyone’s business. Most shit that gets disseminated now by so called “news” media is no one’s business. And what IS our business isn’t quite as “sexy” so no one hears about it and/or they hear distortions.

Okay, that’s it for dispatches from the field. Have a good Tuesday!

Apparently, my coach thinks I need to work on integration and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve got tons and tons of information bulging out my ears but have a much harder time bringing it down into the physical. For some reason, she thinks doing puzzles would be a good exercise for me. Alrighty.

I’ve never done a puzzle in my life (for reals!) so I went to the dollar store and got one – 150 pieces. Piece of cake, right? Uh no. I spent 30 minutes last night and got all of 20 pieces together before I couldn’t stand it and had to bail. And yes, I know this is why she’s having me do the actual puzzle. I will note that it was an interesting meditative experience because while I was doing it, my mind wasn’t wrapping around itself being all spazzy. Perhaps there’s something to this after all. (She’s a WONDERFUL coach.)

I did four readings last night for people and sent them off. The Guides were hella chatty too. I’m always interested in seeing how each person’s Guides come through. One person’s was really forceful – they were adamant that she stop procrastinating and JUST DO IT already! She seemed to know exactly what they were talking about and perhaps that was the nudge she needed. I could do these all night but then I get really up in the high vibrations and it’s hard to come back down and go to sleep. I closed my eyes at 11:15, woke up again at 11:25 and was awake until almost 1am. Ick. That won’t do.

No readings or puzzles for me tonight – it’s all about the hair! :-) That usually takes about two hours so by the time he leaves (yes, the guy who does my hair comes to my house because I am just that special), I don’t have a whole lot of time to goof off. I think I will need to do the readings earlier in the evening.

That’s all for now, kids!

(Found this over at Coopernicus and cracked up. I’m gonna have to add it to my sidebar soon.)

Been getting lots of info come through from my angels, kids. Not sure what to do with it all but come through it does. And yes, I am making note of it all.

(From my angels)

See this picture? This means you are sitting in that crossroad again. What do you know when that happens? You know that when you sit and wait, it means you are stuck and getting mired in the stuckness more and more each day.

The remedy? Get up, say “Gotta move. Keep moving. Gotta go.” and then walk. Doesn’t matter in what direction you walk. Doesn’t matter if you turn to look “at the empty space that is you” as long as you keep moving. They always catch up. Even if it takes a while. (And remember that most stuff isn’t even about you, anyway. It just seems like it some days.)

So, get a move on. You’ve got stuff to do.

(PS: we love you)
