Reflections while home sick(ish)

December 14, 2010 Written by Lisa

It’s not a cold, it’s not a flu but it’s something, that’s for sure. It’s rare that I sleep this much and have all these weird dreams. (Okay, not so weird on the dreams, I know.) I wanted a day off from work but this wasn’t how I planned to spend it. (shakes fist at the Universe and remembers “be careful what you wish for” heh)

Anyway, here are some more Reverb questions for your reading edification. Clearly, none of you is into this but that’s okay. I’ll keep toiling away.

December 7 â€“ Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?

I found a nice community of intuitives as I expanded my work at Practically Intuitive and it’s been great to connect with people who get it the way I do. Kara and I speak a whole ‘nother language when we get rocking on the phone.

December 8 â€“ Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different â€“ youâ€™ll find theyâ€™re what make you beautiful

My one true gift (beyond the talking with Angels thing, of course!) is my sweet and loving heart. I can love people like no one else can. They know it and feel it and dance in it. I can make you feel so loved, you’d want to marry me! hehe I can take someone with a self-professed cold cold heart (coughDutycough) and make even him feel loved. I rock the lovin’, oh yes I do. (My mom taught me how to do it and my therapist taught me how to do it minus the weird dysfunctions!)

December 9 â€“ Party Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans

If you know me at all, you know I abhor “social gatherings” of almost any sort. Rocking my socks off requires silence and ~~David Cook~~ uh, a book or something.

December 10 â€“ Wisdom Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?

Thanks to Jody’s urgings, putting myself out in public as a professional intutiive. Things totally took off after that and I never looked back.

More another day, I suppose.

The Next Three

December 12, 2010 Written by Lisa

Isn’t that an original title? Pretty clear I am *NOT* a copywriter, innit?

Anyway, while I’m in a writing mood, I’ll go ahead and add these three. If you want to see what others are writing, check it out here.

December 4 â€“ Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (Author: Jeffrey Davis)

I have no idea what this question means. Really. I am perpetually in a state of wonder: “I wonder what that’s about ….” will be on my tombstone some day. Here lies Lisa wondering “What’s that about?”. So, no need to cultivate what’s already there.

December 5 â€“ Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)
Oh, perhaps I released my fears about some things and I’m not going to make that public. Just believe that this year I let go of something really big and I’m proud of myself.

December 6 â€“ Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? (Author: Gretchen Rubin)

A mess in the house! I used Christmas ornaments, some extension cords and a box or two. I’m good at making messes and don’t need to clear any special time to do it. I just make them when the spirit moves me. tee hee

Reverb 10 – Reflect and Manifest

December 11, 2010 Written by Lisa

Reverb 10 is an annual event and online initiative to reflect on your year and manifest whatâ€™s next. Use the end of your year as an opportunity to reflect on what’s happened, and to send out reverberations for the year ahead. With Reverb 10 – and the 31 prompts our authors have created for you – you’ll have support on your journey.

The Truthiness in 30 days was such a hit that I decided to do this nifty one. I won’t tag The Gal since she’s off on vacation and is already doing a Christmas meme. Play along in the comments if you want or leave a link to your own post (that means you, Jody!).

As usual, I’m late playing along so will run catch-up for a bit.

December 1 â€“ One Word. Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why youâ€™re choosing that word. Now, imagine itâ€™s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you? (Author: Gwen Bell)

One word for 2010? Breakthrough There were a lot of areas where I felt a shift was needed but manifesting my intuitive practice was top of that list. It took my inability to walk in the 3K Race for Hope in May to push me into offering my services for a donation to that cause. It took a nudge from Jody to remind me that I can put myself out there even without it being for a cause, though, to really break through that fear. Once it was gone, it was GONE!

What word will capture 2011 for me? (Two words, sorry) New level. Next year at this time I want things to be at a whole different (higher) level with regard to my practice. A level where I can plan out how I will transition from my day job to doing intuitive work full time.

December 2 â€“ Writing. What do you do each day that doesnâ€™t contribute to your writing â€” and can you eliminate it?

I’ve mentioned before that I spend a wee bit too much time on certain Sarah Palin gossip sites. I’m weaning myself away (but she’s such a damn trainwreck!) but habits die hard. I should just peruse it and then move on, right?

December 3 â€“ Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Author: Ali Edwards)

Gosh, that’s a hard one. I feel most alive when I’m doing my intuitive work. I am able to just go inside and focus on what comes through and it leaves me with such a high vibration that things seem brighter and more *there*. I could also choose the weekend with my babies but I’m not sure if I felt more alive so much as more exhausted. I will say it stood out as one of the very few times I was fully and completely in my body.

Next time, I’ll do three more and by the end of the month, maybe I’ll be caught up!
