Well now that God/Source has determined that the manuscript I have been working on for five years is truly finished and I have received instructions on how to share it with the world it is time to start over once again. This time it will be with a refreshed attitude and a focus on a real goal.
Exactly like my current life, I plan to rewrite some material I previously offered at the beginning of my writing career; leaving out the parts that acted as an anchor and drug it down. Re-writing with a brand new prospective will be challenging and exciting. I have known for some time that this project will be titled, Spirits of Cibola County. I wouldn't be surprised if it included some of the beautiful local photos I have taken along the way.
Like Dorothy I am off to see the Wizard and find the wonderful talented person who was hiding inside all the time! Since I don't have a scarecrow, a tin man, or a lion to help me, I'm sure my many supportive friends will do just fine!

It's Over
Wow! This has been an interesting, educational and busy extended holiday weekend. At the beginning of last week I thought I would be spending Easter alone, but the universe apparently had other plans. My oldest son was able to come for a visit and just left this morning. He brought along his computer knowledge and built in patience as a teacher. As a result, my computer has more memory and I know more than I knew a week ago about what I can do with it.
I now have a copyright on my newest project,"Journey of an Enlightened Egotist". I was not aware that it is now done electronically. My first two books were done the hard way- literally! I remember making hard copies, having them bound and shipping them off to the appropriate office. This time it was so much easier and the book is now official. I felt like God was saying, "It is finished stop messing with it and move on to your next project!"
In regards to this project, my son is in the process of making it available on Amazon as a Kindle in a few days. In my heart I knew it was not supposed to be published as a hardcover book. I had recently attempted to do that on Lulu.com and ended up deleting it because my intuition was telling me that was not where it belonged. I have always known this project was meant to be self-published in some form. I do not want an editor to change one word. This is how the Kindle cover will look, the photo is mine.
My son also listed my previously published books, Wake Up! and A Gathering of Spirit on half.com. I have had copies sitting in a box in my closet for years not going anywhere. When you have limited resources and electronic knowledge it is difficult to promote projects. These books are timeless so it really doesn't matter that they were written several years ago.
In exchange for computer help I cooked up some scrumptious meals for my house guest, using my special talent. He didn't have to cook and we didn't have to eat alone. We also watched two movies neither of us had seen; The King's Speech and Secretariat. Both were excellent.
All in all it was an interesting, educational and busy holiday weekend that I am very grateful for having experienced.

Easter Rituals
Looking back on past Easter rituals simply confirms that I am no longer who I was. As with my families lives, I have moved on. It no longer means, participating in lent, buying new clothes to wear to church services, dyeing and hiding eggs, cooking special foods for a traditional family dinner.
Until last night I planned on spending Easter alone, except for my cats Ebony and Smokey. It looks as if my oldest son might be joining me for a couple of days. His company will not only be welcome, but I will have an in house computer expert to assist me with my current problems. He might even help me figure out the best way to publish my new project, Journey of an Enlightened Egotist.
So now I am off to the store to purchase things that we both like to eat to make my son's visit a happy occasion. It really doesn't take rituals it just takes love and a willingness to make it happen. Isn't that what Easter is all about?

A Nickel's Worth of Wisdom
While cleaning up my yard yesterday I reached for a plastic bag that had been caught on a cactus. My eyes spotted a shinny nickel lying on the ground as if dropped from the sky. It was not the least bit dirty.
Intrigued, I picked it up and placed it in my pocket. After finishing my yard work I checked out my find. I noted the date was 1998. That was the year before my journey of "conscious" awakening began. I had finished raising my three children and it was time to move on to another phase of my life. My interest in the nickel was peaked.
Many times universal messages come in the form of numbers. I reached for my copy of Betty Bethard's, The Dream Book, which provides symbols for understanding. First I looked up the meaning of the numbers individually:
one= new beginnings, oneness with God,unity of life
nine= completion, ending of the old, triple trinity
eight= cosmic consciousness, infinity
Because I know numbers are to be added to achieve the ultimate message I did just that.
1+9+9+8= 27 2+7=9
Aha! That brings me back to completion, ending of the old and triple trinity. The message could not be more perfect. Just as in 1998 my current life is on the brink of another phase. The difference is because of hard work and a conscious willingness to learn, I have acquired a ton of spiritual knowledge. I know the time has come to use what I have learned to help others.
I don't need a crystal ball when Source/God drops nickels of wisdom at my feet!

Riding the Wave
Thank you Mercury I have had a ball riding your wave of energy, or lack thereof!
My life is so much better now than it was on March 30 when your astral "interference" began. The communications that didn't work gave me time to re-think many relationships and even end some. I would never have done that without you.
Other glitches, such as a pebble causing a crack in my windshield, allowed me to be grateful that I have buy back insurance and it will only cost $100 instead of $700.
The terrible winds we have had in New Mexico have caused me to again be grateful that I live in a state that does not have disastrous weather, such as tornadoes and earthquakes. It made me appreciate my little town even more.
Other things have happened that will increase my income in the near future. It was nothing I did. I was just in the right place at the right time. Mercury has pushed me to stand back a little and look at the whole picture of my life. That in turn resulted in, for once in my life, putting me first.What a concept that was!
I'm sure there are many people who are blaming Mercury for all the terrible things they think have happened to them in the last three weeks. I for one am very grateful for riding the wave of its energy.

Attracting Souls
Looking around my world this morning at the people I feel closest to I realize once again that those I am most comfortable with are the ones who are not afraid to be who they are. They come in all ages and without effort, shine their light for all to see. It is so refreshing to be around people who do not hide from others.
Because I am a blogger I am always amused by writers who start blogs and web sites and never put anything on them. Oh, they might write one or two posts and actually go to the trouble of creating an attractive opening page, but that's it. Some writers hide behind their alter ego or a cartoon image, which to me is also interesting. It makes me wonder why they are not sharing who they really are.
From my own experiences, I know what fear of being who you are is all about. I spent many many years being afraid to let anyone else know me, being afraid to let love in. The reason was basically because I had allowed numerous people to hurt me, until I reached the point of not trusting anyone. I hid behind the titles of daughter, wife and mother and used them as built in excuses to not be the authentic me.
It is very easy to blame others for the condition of our life. It is just as easy to let go of the collection of negative energy and take full responsibility for our own life.
In 1999 I decided this is enough!! I started on a conscious path to rid my life of all negative people and things. Believe me it didn't happen overnight and I still occasionally attract some of those souls. Maybe it is a test to see how long I will tolerate them. I am getting better, but sometimes someone will stick like a bug to fly paper, until I remember my job is not to fix anyone; not even myself.
My only job is to just relax and enjoy being me. That's a full time job that I am beginning to love. I also love the souls that I am now attracting to my life.

Cleaning Up the Leftovers
I spent the morning participating in an indoor yard sale at our family center. I didn't make a whole lot of money, but I did dispose of material things that either reminded me of someone I no longer want in my life or things that once belonged to someone else and I had been left to take care of them.
I had very little to bring back home and I was relieved that I am now down to what actually belongs to me and is truly my responsibility. That is with the exception of a playhouse full of toys my grandson no longer plays with. My attitude about that is, that's his problem. Since it isn't actually in my house I can't see it.
When I think back to all the things that have been dumped on me in the past I really have to laugh. My mother died unexpectedly in 1987 and I was responsible for dealing with an apartment full of her junk. It took 10 days to filter through all the material things she had collected over 70+ years. To say she was a pack rat is putting it mildly!
Next came my divorce from my husband of 27 years in 1999. When he moved out he left behind a large shed full of garbage that I had to again filter through. It took months. Although he had tools and thought of himself as a handyman of sorts he did not take care of his possessions. Not even himself, now that I think about it! That may be part of the reason we are no longer together!
Then came my darling daughter, who in 2001 decided to move to New York state to be with her new husband and await the birth of their son. She was at the time in her last trimester, so I suppose I should take her hormones into consideration. As a parting gift she left me with all sorts of crap; including a garage floor upon which she had dumped all the items left over from a yard sale she had with her mother-in-law. Bye bye sweetheart do have a nice life!
Excuse me, when did I become the local garbage attendant? Did that happen when I became a mother in 1960? If I had known then what I know now...well you know the rest of that I suppose.
Official notice to the world- I am no longer in the business of taking care of other people's left overs!
