Title: Were ya worried?
(the header thingy is not working – again!)
Chello, peeps! Despite not updating for almost a week, I can say with all certainty that I am, indeed, still alive. YEY!
Every once in a while my second chakra gets clogged and I lose all ability to be creative and so SP goes dark. I’d love to shift the blame for that to someone/thing else but I can’t. It’s all mine.
Here’s a bulleted list of what’s been consuming my time this past week:
* Pilates: I love it! I cannot believe I’ve found something physical that totally takes me out of my head and plops me square into my body. The teacher is wonderful and I have such fun in the class that the hour flies by. It’s a bit pricey compared to a gym membership (10 weekly classes for $250) but even if I do it for just ten weeks, I think I will get a lot of benefit from it. I suspect it’s an integral piece of my growth in the coming year. I have to learn how carry big energy – just not through my body (think: expanding waistline).
* Angry Birds: Damn addictive game. I think I play this for about 35 minutes every night before bed. Curses to the girl who does my nails for hipping me to it. Is there an Intervention for Angry Birds??
* Speaking of Intervention - I love that show (unless they are showing heroin addicts shooting up through their toes. Eww!) We are fortunate to have no addicts in the family (food issues are a whole ‘nother thing for our group, though) so watching people go through this is fascinating to me. (That’s because it’s from the safety of my bed. I’d really hate all the attendant drama if it were real life.) The psychology major in me loves hearing the backstory – the things that caused the person to use drugs. Clearly I’m not alone in my addiction to the show: Fred Armisen over at Funny Or Die.
*My new candid reality addiction? Heavy. It’s not at all exploitative and I can relate to their stories (sadly). Don’t judge. At least I provide linkage, right?
* Exciting news! I am going to be working directly with Andrea Hess on her new program called “Inspired Income Mastery” In addition to the program itself (which looks hella cool), she offered a mentoring option to have six sessions with her on the phone. It’s a fabulous opportunity to get coaching/mentoring on a personal basis so I snatched it right up. Of all the teachers I’ve had, Andrea is the one that’s impacted me the most in practical day-to-day work. My goal this year is to get Practically Intuitive out there in full force so I can leave that really exciting and fun day job and fly! This is one step closer to that goal. Hold on to yer hats, kids!
(Damn, I wish I had her boobies. Just pretend this is me because in my fantasy life, it is! heh)
Finally, I’m coming to terms with stepping into the full energy of what I have chosen to do in this lifetime. (Sounds sooo serious, doesn’t it??) Someone close to me calls me the “High Priestess of WooWoo” and I realized that I carry a lot of “high priestess” energy but it’s always been hidden. Making that part of me fully visible requires courage and a willingness to stop hiding. I’m probably not explaining it well but that’s the energy I was talking about above – the one that I can carry with me – just not in my body.
When I put the intention out there to the Universe that I wanted PI to be fully sustaining by year end, I also accepted the work that goes with it. Not only are the energies speeding up in the macrocosm, but here in the microcosm as well. Look at all the shifts that have gone on in the country just since the beginning of the year. Things are speeding up, energetically. Lots going on that we cannot see but will impact us greatly. So, I’ve chosen to move with it and work on stuff that’s in my way now so I can fully and completely bring into form the intuitive practice I’ve been longing for. Wish me luck!
Whew! Lots to say, hmm?

What haz been seen cannot be unseen. Heed my warning.
So yeah. I’m all better (have been since 24 hours after I fell ill) and actually feel quite good. Not sure why but I’ll take it. I had an impromptu snow half-day today when my boss let me leave early so as not to kill myself driving over the big bridge while 2″ of snow was falling. I must say that the bridge was the best part of the drive home – at least that was clear. The roads? Not so much.
Our office Christmas party is tonight (Friday) and I’m both looking forward to it and at the same time not because I work with some classy peeps and I feel like poor little dorky girl whenever we socialize. Add to that the fact that I have few fancy clothes that fit my chubs so I’ll feel even more ill-at-ease. Still. The party two years ago lives in infamy – I received the Unsung Hero award (I was gobsmacked!) and had five glasses of wine (I really was gobsmacked!) and got a bit raucous. Duty said “remember that you don’t need five glasses of wine to bring out your effervescent personality”. Yeah. ‘Tis true. But sometimes, being extra bubbly effervescent can be big fun. I shall attempt to keep the bubs on the downlow for the party.
Also too, Italian cookie baking commences on Sunday! Whee! Then work for just two days, off three! woooooo hoooo! (can you tell I’m happy?)

Dear Snarkypeeps,
Well, Duty and I made it through the weekend and came out the other side alive. The boys made it through as well – also alive. Wanna know what I learned?
Lessons from a weekend full of love, spit up, and trains:
1. One smile from the Godson of Love can make up for hours of exhaustion. To see him get all excited about whatever food thing is about to enter his mouth is probably the cutest thing ever. (I love him.)
2. It’s entirely possible for a three year old to teach a fifty year old how to play. It warmed my heart to see Luke and Duty bond so well together. (Luke can’t yet pronounce “Uncle Bill” so it comes out as “O’Bill” and it’s beyond adorable.)
3. The Universe loves practical jokes so don’t go blabbing that you’ll have it much easier with a six month old than Duty will with a three year old. He got to sleep through the night, get online and take a nap. I did none of that.
4. How do people manage to do this whole parenting thing? I know it gets easier as they gain independence but I feel like I should go on a speaking tour touting teen abstinence. (Move over, Bristol Palin!) It’s hard, hard work. (Have I mentioned how hard it is?) Cats are clearly my speed. The Universe knew that and as always, I bow to its wisdom.
But you know what? I’d do it again in a heartbeat. They are the sweetest, most loving boys and Cousin O’Cool and husband have done a wonderful job with them. Luke is so thoughtful – I asked for a hug as he was heading to play trains. He said “I’m too busy now.” and ran off. Five minutes later, he came out and said “I’m not busy anymore, Aunt Weeha.” and gave me a HUGE hug. (Melt)
Wisely, I took off work today so now it’s back to sleep for me. Ah! Blissful sleep. (Must admit that I miss Pete’s round little eyes staring at me first thing in the morning, though. That, my friends, is bliss.)
Signed,
Happy to be home but so glad for the experience
This is P. Diddy (aka: the bozman) or more affectionately known as “The Godson of Love” – chilling poolside.
Yeah, he be cool
I would so appreciate it if one of you FOUR readers would save me from my damn self. GAH! Why did I decide NOW would be a good time to move PI over to self hosted word press? Because I’m not spazzing enough about *finishing* things this month that I must take on a stupid ass monumental chore like this. Today alone, I spent 5 hours (FIVE HOURS!) futzing with the layout and it’s still sucky. (Sobs)
If you cannot save me from myself, would you at least buy me a cosmo? Or some xanax? I hear mixing them isn’t wise but apparently, I’m not operating in wise mode these days. Oh well. I will keep plugging along since I did accomplish a great deal yesterday in between floaties, watching Season 4 of Weeds, eating crabs and other fun stuff.
If I suddenly disappear, come find me. I’ll be in the closet, k?

(I love this. Duty says “You love everything.” and he’s right. I do. Everything. Even Dick Cheney. —> okay, not everything.)
Did I tell you that the Angels told me to let Duty pick my manifesting word for this month? Feh. He chose “Follow-through”. (Stabs him) And they also told me to allow him to chose one of the actions to embody that vibration. (Stabs Angels) He chose this: I have a desktop computer that I haven’t touched since 2005. (no lie) It has many, many of Lauren’s emails on it from back before I used Gmail. I really want to keep those but that entails firing it up and doing some serious saving. This is (one of) my task(s) for the month.
My mantra: “I finish what I start.” (note to self: start nothing and you’ll be home free! hah)
(sigh)
So, yeah. Have I started it? Nope. Does he remind me of it often? Yep. (stabs self)
Lots of stabby action going on. What’s that about?
Happy Monday, (three) peeps! Believe it or not, I got in the pool TWICE this weekend! Neighbor Greg had rigged up some concoction where he recycles the water through a hose that is heated by the sun and runs it back into the pool. Bottom line: 85 degrees = me in the pool! I was in there for just a little while on Saturday but did about a half hour of floaties on Sunday while listening to the neighbor dude’s lawn mower. (Although loud sounds generally bother me, stuff like that doesn’t at all. In fact, I rather like it.) It was most luffly. Duty was sidelined all weekend with a headcold of some sort so I was mostly on my own.
So, check it: my buddy Kara at Conduit of Joy wrote the sweetest post about me and my mad intuitive skillz. That tickled me all to pieces. As I wrote in a comment under the post at her blog, from the moment we talked that first time, I knew we’d be fast friends. We speak the same language of the Woo but are also mental as well (not THAT kind of mental, kids!) – loving the research end of things and learning and whatnot. I just love her. (Can you tell?)
Not only that happy news but the nice young man I’ve been practice coaching (for free) over the past few months has asked to continue our coaching relationship as a paid service. YEY! He’s my first official coaching client. What’s funny is that he found me on a “totally unrelated to the woo-woo” board (AskMeFi) and he really didn’t know all the ins and outs of where, exactly, my intuitive skills come from. It’s been a growing experience for us both and when he raised the idea of continuing for a fee, I did a small dance around the room. heheh (Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, K?)
So, things are picking up and I will tell you (transparency and whatnot) that I am thisclose to making my manifesting goal for June ($450) raised ONLY through fees from PI stuff. (Word for the month: integration) – I am so not kidding, peeps. This manifesting thing WORKS if you do the steps. I swear. Each month I am raising the amount just by a bit and it appears. Out of thin air. I don’t even really wonder how – it just does.
Since I promised a newsletter in July, I suppose I should get working on that, eh? (Has a small spazz out but regains composure quickly. Sorta.)
I’m wasting what is left of my four day weekend by lamenting the end of my four day weekend. That’s so me, isn’t it?? LOL I did have fun, though. Here’s a smattering of what I did (with some pictures to prove I left the house, even!):
* Did three of the five readings I had to do and got such great feedback, too. One person asked for some mediumistic work (i.e.: contacting a deceased family member) and while I’m not as well versed in that, it worked out fine. She’s a gifted intuitive herself so I was a bit intimidated to read for her (I know, right?) but I should know better. I have a couple more to do, probably this evening.
* Went shopping at Kohl’s with my $10 Kohl’s cash and a 15% off coupon. I didn’t buy the store out but got a few nice items – skirt and blouse for the baptism, some jewelery, two frames etc (all for $51! I rock the discounts!)
* Watched three eps of True Blood and had to kick Duty out of the TV room today. He’s glued to that thing watching all manner of (what I consider) crap. I have a few more to go before I finish the season and the new season starts June 13. I’m psyched.
* Cleaned the bathroom! Woo Hoo!
* Got in some excellent baby-holding with PeterBella this weekend and even had playing time with big brother Luke. I don’t know how Cousin O’Cool (or any mother for that matter) does it. I was exhausted just watching them. Next Sunday is the baptism and I will have to share the babyholding so we got it in early. Even Duty got to hold him. (Wanna see the picture?)
Work has become so S L O W and dreary that I dread going back but a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do, right?
