Days of truth and roses

November 21, 2010 Written by Lisa

Oh hello again,

I didn’t get to babyholdin’ today as planned and in fact, the whole day went to hell real fast so my answers might belie my mopiness. Please to forgive if that is the case, mmmkay?

Day 19 â†’ What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?

Re: Religion: everyone just wants what brings them peace. And as Thomas Jefferson said “But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God …” I have my path and walk it the very best way I can. Others have their path and it’s between them and God (or not, as the case may be) for how they live their life.

Re: Politics: I think that’s pretty well known ’round these parts, yes? I am a very strong advocate of separation of church and state and believe government is set up to provide for the common good. I’d rather see us spend money on helping create a better life for our citizens than the billions that are wasted on fake wars but then again, I’m a starry-eyed peace monger.

Day 20 â†’ Your views on drugs and alcohol.

I’m fortunate that I don’t have a proclivity for either (just cookies, mostly) because after many hours of watching Intervention, I’ve seen what addictions can do to families. I’ve never done one (non-prescribed) drug but I’d definitely take speed if it was offered. I’d be so thin with such a clean house. Yeah, so what if I’m addicted?? I’d just dash off and clean some more!

Day 21 â†’ (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour before. What do you do?

I’d be there in a heartbeat, the fight be dammed. No question.

(You knew the answer to that one, right?)

Ten guesses on this one, folks

And no, it’s not Cookie (although he runs a close 45th or so).

Day 07 â†’ Someone who has made your life worth living for.

Yeah, you knew it would be the Goddaughter of Love, right? I picked her because she truly was the closest thing to a child I had in this lifetime. I am beyond thankful that I got to have that relationship with her so that I could understand (even if only the tiniest bit) how to love someone with all your heart and soul all the time. Lauren and I shared true unconditional love and it’s enriched my life so much for having had that wonderful girl as my sweet goddaughter as long as I did. What got me through the days as it became clear she was leaving us was the unshakable belief that I’d see her again and we’d pick up right where we left off. We’ve been through lives before with each other and I suspect we’ll be together again for many more.

30 Days of Honesty and we rock on with today’s question:

Day 05 â†’ Something you hope to do in your life.

Well, heck. There’s a lot of things I HOPE to do in my life: fit back into my size 10 jeans (hahahahahh), go on a cruise, write and publish a book, meet up with David Cook ~~in a dark hotel room~~ and not stutter this time, walk the Race for Hope in 2011 and on and on and on.

For today’s entry, though, I think I’ll write about this:

It is my most fervent desire to be able to leave my current day job and create a thriving and abundant intuitive coaching/reading practice. A practice where I get to work with really cool people who use what comes through me to bring about some positive shifts in their own lives.

I think I’m heading in the right direction!

If I had to choose a wish between the size 10 jeans and this, I’d choose this without one moment’s hesitation. It’s my soul’s longing. The jeans are a fantasy that I got to live out for a bit and might live out again but this? This is my true joy and calling.

Big big thanks to all who’ve left me such sweet comments on these entries. The Angel story was hard to write because it still stirs up so much stuff. I’m glad my dad was always my voice of reason. Perhaps this blind man truly “saw” the bigger picture, eh?
