So, yeah. It’s (almost) Friday. I’m glad. Maybe this week of WTF will be at a close. The only good thing I can say is that I have done 15 mins on the bike each day. Duty just had to shame me into it once.
On the dissonance front: it continues. However, after lots of chats with my guides and input from friends here (thanks Jody and Gal) and from my woo-woo buds at Democratic Underground, I’m going with this possibility: It’s their weird shit to deal with and I’m just the one noticing it. That works for me. Duty gave me some advice when I was whining about it last night: Let it go. And while that’s not my preferred way of handling things, it IS something new for me so I’ll try it.
I’m using my copious down-time at work to write a post for PI on ceding authority to your Guides in Spirit and how they wouldn’t let you do that anyway. It’s a response to Rose’s post where I talk about what my experience has been in that arena. I’m also practicing my own self-authority by not worrying if people think I’m a slack ass or not and giving thanks that I have a job where I have lots of independence. I’ll let you guys know when the post is up (probably this weekend).
And one last comment: Since I fell in love with sekrit boyfriend, anyone else after that seems so fake. I think my heart is closed to all but DC and HS (and I’m not even sure how Hal managed to get in there! Brains, arm porn and humor carry a lot of weight with some chicks. heh) Watching Idol is so lame, even *I* don’t know why I’m doing it. Poseurs, all of them. But not my cookie!
Happy Friday to my blog buddies! I luf you all!
Yep, still here. I wrote this big long post at work on Friday and then decided to let it sit and marinate. Talking with my coach on Saturday helped me put all this into perspective. And, FWIW, Jody, she was right there with you on your comment to me. I totally got it. Totally. This whole week has been about self-authority. And how I assert that. Most especially, handling it when others don’t overly like me doing that (coughDUTYcough) because they are used to something different.
So, below the cut is the rest of the story (as Paul Harvey would say). Be warned. It’s long and somewhat detailed. But if you wanna know how dissonance shows up when you shift a vibration, this is a good illustration. Continue reading »
Hi kids,
How did I let a day go by (or two!) without updating ye olde Snarkypants?? Sometimes I run out of stuff to say. (I know, right?) Here’s what I’ve been working on, though.
To help me reach my “Readings for Hope” goal, I decided to go back to my nifty Manifesting project that brought me great good fortune last time. If you remember, here’s the basic premise:
Basically, it’s this: In order to manifest money (which is really just energy), you have to assign it an energetic address. For example, let’s say that you want to manifest $1000 and have said that this amount of money in your bank account would make you feel relieved, or joyful or whatever emotion you choose. Once you’ve figured that part out, then you have to do some real down-to-earth things to bring that energy into your life more.
Okay, so this go-round, I decided that my word for the month would be SERVICE: service to self, service to others and service to the Universe. I chose $400 as the amount of money I wanted to raise by May 31. Therefore: SERVICE = $400. Got that?
I decided on a few strategic action things I could do in the physical to embody the word SERVICE: Continue reading »
I found this while perusing my friend Jenn’s LJ page (I’d link but she keeps it locked down to friends only) and it was too cute not to share. Here’s what she said about it:
We saw an axolotl at a zoo and I’ve been in love with them ever since. Unfortunately, they are very endangered. One of the most interesting things to me about axolotls is that they have the ability to regenerate lost body parts, entire legs.
The first thing I said when I saw one in person was, “It’s a Pokemon!” I probably wouldn’t have believed it was real if I hadn’t seen it swimming and smiling myself… :)
This cheered me up because, as usual, I am dragging my ass going in to work. I got some feedback for one of the readings I did this weekend and wanted to share a piece of it: “I am shaken to the core. EVERYTHING You’ve gotten is so correct.” So, thank you angels, teachers and guides for giving me that. It’s a lovely validation of the work I do and reminds me to keep moving even more deliberately toward that path where I do this full-time.
I am doing the manifesting work this month to assist me with raising funds for the “Readings for Hope” project. Word for the month is: SERVICE. Service to self, service to others, service to the Universe. One of the ways I am bringing that down into the physical is by not making pissy p/A comments about co-workers as I am wont to do when I get fed up with the BS. Wish me luck on that one. Talk about making a stretch! heh Oh well. It’s for a good cause, right?
Happy smiley fishey Monday!
I got good babyholding in today and he barely screamed. He was a bit unhappy that I didn’t know the routine of feeding, burping and feeding some more. I got one good burp from him but that was it. Oh well. I tried. As I told Gal in an email, Duty looks at Peterbella as if he (Peter) holds the secrets to the Universe. It’s really very sweet to see him bonding with the baby in that way. We had a nice brunch out with the family at a restaurant with most excellent and professional waiters. Food was yummy and company was good. All in all, a lovely way to spend Godmommy Round 2 Day. (Miss my Goddaughter of Love especially today.)
“Readings for Hope” is going very well. So far, donations are up to $145! :-) Nice, eh? I am really having trouble putting the offer out to people because I don’t want anyone to think I’m spamming them or anything. Mostly, I’ve sent it to friends and asked if they knew anyone who might be interested, would they please forward. I also am doing a reading for Nancy who runs a wonderful blog that uses an astrological lens to view political happenings. Nancy did an astrological reading for me a few months back and was very interested and curious about what I did and how I did it. (My answer: I take dictation from Spirit Guides. That’s about it. heh) This will be fun! I’m looking forward to it.
That’s all the haps from here. Stopped by the graveyard to say hi to Mom and Grandmom. I did ask Mom why I don’t hear from her much and she spoke to me pretty clearly: “Lisa, I am right here all the time. You just aren’t listening!” heh That’s my mom, alright. I’ll have to tune into her frequency more. Lauren’s frequency is like a pre-set radio station. Mom’s is off the beaten path a bit so I’ll have to work on the tuneage. (Grandma just comes barging in whenever I talk to mediums. That’s always hilarious.)
Happy Mother’s Day to all who share their love and energy with the young ones – kids, pets, whatever shows up in your life.

I am so happy to see the weekend wide open before me. I’m heading to Charlottesville with my seminary/travel buddy Dana to learn all about Wild Earth Animal Essences. Even if the class were a bust, I’d have fun just hanging out with her. She’s about the only person I could allow into my space when we were at the Seminary because she has such a gentle spirit. As I am in tune with the angelic realms, Dana is that in tune with the earth realm and is such a good steward of Mother Earth. She brings a gentle groundedness that is easy for me to be around. It will be a fun weekend.
In other news, my pal Jody left this comment yesterday and I could feel my Angels speaking through her telling me “get on the stick!”:
Okay, I feel like I have to say something about…..SOMETHING. You have an engaging writing style AND you gave me a terrifiic reading. The way you’ll be able to stop doing a job you hate is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
Practically Intuitive, and all that that implies. I don’t believe it’s a matter of MAKING YOURSELF do it. I believe it’s a matter of believing in who you are.
I should know about such things. I can be the most self-sabotaging person in the universe, and I get how frustrating it is. But the bottom-line is this: you have a gift. Now use it.
It’s true that doing this work brings me great fulfillment and joy and while I *think* I have the skills to do this as a profession, she’s right. It’s a matter of *believing* that I do. I best put that intention out there and ask the Universe for all the support it can offer. (And thank you, Jody, for the nudge. As always.)
And now, I *believe* I’ll go get another cup of coffee! Have a good day and a lovely weekend. Welcome back, Gal! I missed you.

With the Gal now on her spa vacation, I feel like I’m blogging into the abyss here. Lauren and I used to joke that we’d still write even if no one read it and that is still true for me. Although I must admit that I love comments (real ones, not the ones that say “fun! come visit my site. Bye!” I don’t like those), I’d still be here writing away even if no one was out there.
Anyway, I decided to just pop off about a few things tonight.
1. I love my wee godson and it’s awesome that, as Godmother, I get to hold him as long as I want (and as long as Cousin O’Cool lets me). This makes me happy because I could be a professional baby-holder, I love it that much. I wish they still let volunteers into the nursery to hold the babies but some idiots kept trying to steal them and that’s just not good. Anyway, I am happy that I will have a summer full of baby-holding and playing. Awesome!
2. I have always perused personal ads because as a student of human behavior, I find it fascinating to read how people present themselves. I often wonder who is responding to ads that say something like this: “Looking for a chick. Hit me up if you’re interested.” – wha??? Way to stand out there, buster. Also, I saw one that said he was (I only wish I were making this up) “in serious need of vagina”. ::boggle:: Enough with the smooth talk, hey? I wanna know what kind of woman responds to that ad. If my jobs as full-time baby-holder and woo-woo chick don’t pan out, perhaps I should assist those who are, shall we say, a bit challenged in the “how to describe myself in an ad so others might be interested in me” arena. Why, I could hold a baby, talk to the angels AND write you a personal ad in one fell swoop. (I am that good, it’s true.)
3. Dear people who seem to think we STILL (if ever) give a shit about Tiger Woods and his failings: SHUT UP! Jeebus Henry – people do stupid shit all the time. Some even do it in front of the whole world and pay a totally different kind of price – can you even imagine being the laughingstock of a nation? (oh hai george bush!) Yes, I know. If you are in the public eye, try hard not to do anything horrific on that level and take a lesson from this whole debacle. So yeah. Tiger was a stupid, foolish man. There are a million more important things than who he did and where he did them and in what manner, even. Just move along, now.
4. (Caveat: yes, this is whining. Whatever.) I find it hard to stay engaged in a job I don’t care about at all. I am thankful for a job that pays well and I paid my dues in jobs that didn’t pay well and ones where I took a lot of abuse from fuckwits. However, my soul is sad and I have to really start putting energy toward where I want to go because I will go mad if I have to answer phones, fax items and greet clients for the next five years. Duty always gives me grief about my dislike of others and don’t I know that in my woo-woo practice, I’ll be interacting with (GASP!) others???? (sigh) It’s a very different thing working with someone one-on-one, working through their emotional struggles with them than it is talking to someone about the weather for the seven hundredth time that same day. I hate chit-fucking-chat. HATE IT. But if you want me to get down in the mud with you (metaphorically speaking) and work through your trauma, baby I. am. there. Isn’t it odd what floats someone’s boat? I am married to someone who would run away screaming from that and who is happy as a clam talking about the weather or what airline you flew on your last trip. It’s all in where we are comfortable, I suppose. Bottom line: Geez, I better get my ass moving.
5. Forced myself to the gym today for 30 mins of walking. My knee was letting me know that I was moving a bit too fast for my own good so I slowed it down just a bit and was fine. Hooray for me!
And now a quote I found on a forum regarding the TV show “Mad Men”. I think it’s from a book. I don’t even remember the context, just that it struck me and I’m sharing it here. (Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.)
She had loved him at first, she reckoned, but he had tormented her so long with his elusiveness that she did not know, honestly, now whether she even liked him. If she had been sure of him, she might have found out. But things had never stood still long enough for to decide. It sometimes struck her that Harald would not let her be sure of him for fear of losing his attraction: it was a lesson he had learned in some handbook, the way he had learned about those multiplication tables. But Kay could have told him that he would have been far more attractive to her if she could have trusted him.
