Finally...
The Insect Spray got made today! I've been researching this one for so long... at least since before last summer when everyone needed an insect repellent and I wasn't complete enough in my study... argh! Now I am! The formula is a good one with so many effective ingredients. But every name I think of has already been used... Bug Off!, Bug-be-Gone, Buzz off, Stop Buggin' me, etc.. So I have to make the label and can't think of a catchy name... Insect Repellent seems so blah! ** Bug Barrier**.. the name just came to me.. it will be a great bug barrier... or **Bug Ban** or **Bug Banish** hahahaha they're popping into my head... which one do you like?? Any others?
I also finally got the Itch Spray & Lotion formulated. I won't bottle the lotion for a few days while I observe the consistency, smell and stability of the mix. I hope it's not too funny smelling as it contains so many oils and neem is not the best smeller. It worked today when I applied some to itching areas from sunburn and one irritated itchy place on my forearm.. worked like a dream! Feel smooth & soothing....
I was using the salve I made for Irina on a burn blister I got on my hand and it's healing really well.. This morning it hurt and it doesn't in the least right now.. I just kept massaging it in throughout the day with this new Plantain Neem Salve ... much better. This could be the finest slave yet... *big grin* Thank you, Irina, for the inspiration!
David emailed about a session with his girlfriend. They want to do ongoing work but when I heard from her she was only around on weekends and I would have to travel an hour each way to meet them at the Stargate Ranch since they have the children there they need to stay for. I guess I'm just not willing to spend a minimum of 4 hours on weekends when Jack is home and we have day/date time together. And I doubt they would want to pay me my hourly rate for the travel. Hmmm on second thought, maybe I would consider that :- }
I wonder if they really know what they'd be getting into with me being their counsel... I do NOT mince words nor do I kow-tow to the woo-woo stuff that they seem to embrace so completely, from 5th & sixth dimensions & beyond to all the ET, crop circle experiences from all the conferences he attends and then there's the "special" tasks they're being called to do in this relationship, and, of course, the economic collapse coming soon to a neighborhood near you...
David knows how I work after all these years but Karen would likely be most uncomfortable. Not fair for me to assume that. There is just so much spiritual fantasy out there. I was party to it for a long time.. a long time.. humbling to see how invested I was in my nice, neat little packages that provided all the answers to the bigger mysteries of life. How presumptuous of me to assume I could access answers where there were none... I see now.. it's been a hard one to let go of but I willingly do so for the freedom it affords!
So she seems very invested in her channeling. I've been there and know it well.. sigh... once someone figures out "the way it is" it's very tricky to be the catalyst for their disassembling. Unless someone is very ready for that to happen, they might hit you. Egos get very testy! hahahahaha I've heard Adya say that & it made me laugh!
I just got a very nice note from Karen and the energy has shifted and she's ready to come here to spend some time. I see that she will need to set the pace and I need to sit back & see how it flows.
Jack brought me 2 more of those amazing Jasmines. He said they were more birthday presents since, being sick, we didn't get a real celebration this year. We usually go nursery hopping, have lunch and later eat some decadent cake or pie ala mode or something... We must have had some premonition we'd be laid out not at all interested in partying or eating since the week before when we had to be in Santa Fe we did a mini-version of our Birthday trip... So then it began and it's sort of been an ongoing birthday ever since.. hahahah yesterday the walkways magically appeared...so nice... and the gardens are really happening now! The milpa is planted partially and 2 cukes are up and a bean!
So I am completely guilt free to have these 3 such fragrant, beautiful plants... when my tendency has been to 'bruise' the moment with some concept that disallows pristine, untainted joyfulness. "Oh, I don't really need them.. " "I shouldn't have spent the money" blah blah blah...... I have obscured the bliss of the moment with thought, fears, concepts, conditioned responses which project all over the perfection... bruising it. I claim my presence in this moment and I am joyful!
