I apparently forgot how much good a little meditation can do. I'd been in something of a funk the better part of this week, not wanting to do anything but sit and read. It started out the same today, but the weather's been divine all day and finally I decided that not feeling grungy was more important than sitting around and got a shower. I ( Read more... )

DIZZ! THEY CAME, THEY CAME! *bear hugs you into oblivion* I was having a REALLY crappy day, too, I woke up around 7:30 this morning (not long after Mom tends to leave for work) to Holly throwing up on the floor. When I got up to take her out she was in full apolagetic mode, and I soon saw why: it was the third spot she'd thrown up in short order ( Read more... )

Last night/very early this morning I was listening to some podcasts I'd put on Timmy D. that I found while surfing iTunes. The ones I was listening to are from this website called Alchemically Braindamaged, and as the title vaguely hints the blog and podcasts are centered on various occult and otherwise spiritual stuff. Also the guy's Canadian and ( Read more... )

Today I did my Eat Breakfast With Ganesh thing as I've been trying to make usual, right? Afterwards I had that same feeling of being followed that I got the first time I did it, which was nice, and then at work I found I had the third floor in Tina's place instead of getting the first floor as usual. And when I was up there, I saw a picture of ( Read more... )

I was just in the laundry room putting a load into the washer so I could have clean stuff to wear tomorrow, right? As I'm putting the Downy ball in, a little bit of paper comes fluttering down into the washing machine from behind me. I take it out and start the washer and unfold the paper, and it's a folded-in-half fortune from a fortune cookie. It ( Read more... )

And now I've bought The Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts*. Somebody had it for $13.98 (which translates to 60% off) on Amazon and Half.com, but Amazon's shipping was a few cents less so I bought it there. Yeah. I'll find a way to make it useful, even if I have to use it as a doorstop most of the ( Read more... )

Last night, after Dad went up to bed and I finally signed off too, I decided to try grounding for the first time. Don't really think I did too well considering 1) I'd never done it before and 2) there was a whole basement between me and the ground, but I got the weird tingly feeling that only shows up when I'm fiddling around with my energy, so ( Read more... )

It makes me feel better that when Mom saw me reading Astral Travel for Beginners last night (one of the books I got from the library Friday for the hell of it), out of all the things she could've said or done, she asked me "so where you going?" in an "I'm joking around but don't think you're totally psycho" voice. She's come so far from not wanting ( Read more... )

I would just like to give all my non-birthday-related praises for the day to any deities, spirits, and other forces of nature and/or reality (including but not limited to Pure Coincidence) that caused it to rain on and off today, thereby inhibiting a large number of plans Dad had today. I seriously couldn't have planned it better myself. *loves and
