((((Gypsy)))) Thank you for welcoming me back! Im still settling in around here. My favorite thing to do now is hop into the car and go cruising. I still get lost at every turn. but some roads are easier to find than others...come to think of it...That pretty much applies to lifes paths too i suppose. Geez, Im full of quotes lately.

I would really love to jump back into my art but at this time...time says No. I hear relax, kick back and enjoy the new surroundings. Yet i still find myself running around trying to find something to occupy my time. Around here things are slower. Much slower. I use to run whenever i done anything, and around here, there really isnt much need to run to do anything. You saunter to it!

Went to the grocery store the other day and  had quite the audience watching me. I was like a kid. I found this tini tiny bag of flour with cornmeal. It was sooo cute. Ive not ever seen such a thing like it. Hoop cheese? whats hoop cheese? Grabbed that and learned its pretty good stuff. Grits? Where the heck is my cream of wheat? Only grits! I about pooed my pants when i learned the price of the vegetables...way cheaper...so definently the pros are outwaying the cons around here.

woo hoooo nesting are you back????????????

(((Misty))) Nice to see you! Im gonna try to be around here more often. I dont have a comp of my own at the moment but am using Birdys comp when i come visiting.

Ok, on to my list of firsts. Ticks! Yuck...Double yuck! Those are the most freaky bugs ive seen in my whole life. I panic whenever i spot one. Learned there was a haunted house nearby, checked it out, and now my hubby is all over the idea of "checking" it out again. Doubt it will be the last one. Its nice being around others in person that understand what you say when speaking about spiritual matters.

Today the kids and I went cruising. At every stop Id ask them which way do we go? Go that way Momma! The curvy roads are my favorite. We saw a fawn beside the road, she was sooo cute. Antique stores!!! Flea markets!!! Herb stores. I really dont have to go far to find what i like around here. Went into town yesterday with birdy and got some house plants. The small little daisies i found fit perfectly inside my teacups. I have them sittin in my kitchen window. We have two kittens and somehow adopted 2 more that were left at our new house. I think the female is pregnant. My little kitten, she has the largest eyes. My what big eyes you have! Decided that I would look up the name that meant Big eyes and that would be her name. Found Naira.  The other cat is my husbands and he named him, Shadow. Naira and Shadow. I honestly believe Naira's spirit follows me. At the store, I kept feeling the need to pick her up and had to constantly tell myself she wasnt there for me to pick up. Her and I are two peas in a pod.

I decided it was time to cleanse my new home. Started with the kitchen, scrubbed it clean and used aromatherapy to help the cleansing along. That very night I awoke to find a group of "spirits" who I think came a-visiting. Hard to say. Then just a day or two after the cleansing, I am outside, just enjoying the evening, and i start to notice light particles dancing around. I remember seeing them often as a child, yet have gave them no notice til now. Even at this point in time i am hesitant to take any stock in what i experience or see. Ive decided awhile ago that i wasnt gonna go knocking on any doors for new experiences, they would just have to find me. And when they do find me, I feel the need to disassociate myself from them. As if i need more information to come to any conclusion.

Had a few interesting dreams the other night too. I was looking at this slab of rock. On this rock the water had etched little "rivers" or "paths" which two of them joined at the bottom to create spirals, i think there were about 4 spirials in all. I thought that it was very interesting how water was able to have so much power to etch designs into stone. As i comtemplated this, i heard a voice, and a loud crack and the slab of stone broke from the rock, the voice told me to take the stone home with me, it was mine now. I picked up the slab of stone and walked around with it while admiring the details. End of dream.

Ive been reading a book called "healing dreams", the author speaks about how our dreams give us clues to our chosen paths. And if we listen to them, will tell us what we need to know about ourselves and the destiny we have to play out in this lifetime. Ive been looking back on my collection of dreams and realize all the potentials that are laid out for me. And i didnt even notice how they were all connected in a "spiral sort of way!" I spoke to my husband about this and that lead us to "our dreams". When we first got together, we frequently stayed up well into the wee hours of the morning talking about what we would like to have someday. What we would like to "build". Now taking both our dreams, we have come up with a blueprint. Make it reality. We want to build a Healing Center. I told my hubby to totally remove the money aspect from these plans as they have a tendancy to cause blocks, and then told him, plan as though money is no issue. What would you build? And the ideas just came rolling out of us, as if we were transported to that time. I could hear the sounds, see the sights of it. Its a beautiful dream.

Ive been feeling lately, that I am not a separate entity. For most my life I have gone through life needing to feel like I am unique (which of course I am) someone special like no other (again I am) yet I feel as if I am just a tiny unique and special speck in this grand universe. I am the trees, and the dirt i walk upon. I am the wind that i feel upon my skin. In two separate times, I am both, what is outside of me and what is inside of me. Half of me understands this...the other half still running hard to keep up with the concept. I am outside myself, watching every move i make, while I am inside myself watching what i see as reality. Just thinking this confuses me. Yet when i feel this It makes all the sense in the world. When i trust and follow what i feel, I have yet to go wrong, when i follow what i see, its as if im seeing through a haze. Driving my car is not in my best interest i learned. My depth perception is way off, my congnitive skills seconds behind. Yet when I "see" with my feelings, I "see" things clearly. Im still trying to wrap my brain around this change. I can so understand the "Dazed and Confused" theory.

Here I come running down the streets yelling "I did it!" "I did it!" I actually took the courage and put my beadwork in cosignment. Ive been creating,

"Daydream Catchers". Next step is to work on my beaded Apple Angel. I've already made one, but she has some things that need to be worked on. Once i figure them out, I will be able to put those in cosignment to. I am amazed that i actually did it.

 

Last Friday my son started his first day in Kindergarten. I am so proud of him. And he decided that he didnt want me driving him to school but wanted to ride the bus. Awe, such a big boy he is. And he is already learning so much! The letter A and the number 1. LOL. I love spending the mornings alone with him. We watch the sunrise together. And it gives us time to visit in the mornings. I have to steal hugs and kisses from him before the bus comes or i dont get any at all. A big boy thing.

 

And with my son gone all day, my daughter and I have, for the first time, time alone together. Im seeing her in a totally different light these days. She's like a little woman. She'd rather be helping my clean than play. Hmmm, maybe she thinks its play. LOL. I do enjoy having someone with me while i clean, time goes quicker and the job faster.
