Stuck in the middle with you

… here I am.

No reason for this picture. It just makes me laugh.

Didja know that the lead singer in that song by the band Stealers Wheel is none other than Gerry Rafferty (“Baker Street”)?  There’s some trivia for ya. Don’t you feel more intelligent already?

Happy New Year, all three of ya’s!

So yeah, here’s what’s on tap:

1) I am taking a 16 month evidential mediumship course.  Why? Because education! :)  Well, this one’s been at the edges of my consciousness for a while.  I was interviewed by  fellow intuitive and medium who asked me where I got my training.

Uhhh. Training? Whut?

My connection with Guides is effortless but the connection with those on the other side, well, that’s been somewhat spotty.  I hear Lauren often, my mother and father not much and mostly hear individuals (my aunt and a friend of mine, for example) as they are departing the earth plane.  But I don’t have the ability (yet) to connect up almost on command.

The instructor (a lovely British chap who has the sensibilities of my beloved Eddie Izzard) is quite good.  Before the course has even started, he’s provided us with some videos (about 90 mins each) on psychic development, spiritual development and intro to mediumship.  As you can imagine, I’ve been eating these up like candy.  So much goodness that I can use to teach my Level One students on how to connect up with spirit.  For me, it’s always been “POOF! I’m there!” and “POOF! I’m not!” that it’s hard to explain to someone how to do it.  I’m thankful that this gentleman has done some of that work for me and I’ll share it (with credit, of course) with my peeps.

If anyone out there has a desire to connect with departed loved ones, I’m sure I’ll need some guinea peegs for this work in the near future so don’t be shy to ask.

2) I’m going to sunny, warm Arizona on Saturday for a three-day adventure with my mentor and mastermind circle (two days travel, three days working).  I love this kind of thing!  LOL Such a workshop nerd, am I.  It will be interesting to meet these women, many of whom are all but silent in the facebook group.  It’s annoying to me because if we’re there to help and support each other, dammit, how’s about doing that? Many come in, drop their woes and whining or, on the other side of the coin, talk about how fabulous an event was and gather “You go, girl” comments and dance off.  Not much help or support for others.  Just what’s going on with them.  Me? I’d call that shit out and I have a feeling our mentor will be doing that in the meeting. (Okay, she told me she was going to. That’s how I know.)    So, interesting.  We’ll be doing some business planning and that’s what I need.  I can see maybe two steps ahead but not much more and I need long range ideas.

3) There’s some weird shit floating in the air with my family and even friends.  I’m just keeping my head down and minding my own business.

4) Tracking my food has been an eye opener and a depressing one at that.  Jeebus.  I think I’m going to take the easier route and just count carbs like I did when I lost a bunch of weight on my own Atkins-ified diet in 2009.  This calorie thing is just a bummer.  So is this no exercise thing.

Okay, that’s your update on all the haps here.  What’s going on in your neck of the woods, yo?
