I just got too many ThOuGhTs! (To keep 'em IN!)


Oh i know, i know I've got too much to do to blog today (and l'm already behind! Just look at all those 'dust bunnies!' They're having races with each other now there's so many of them!) ...
It's just that l just went for a quick visit to the lovely Robin Westphal's blog and this popped out...

... Remember, remember (I also say to myself!) ...that when our time comes to leave this beautiful place... and some wise old spirit asks us how we went... Wouldn't it be nice to say that we fulfilled our hearts desires... And in doing so (This wise old soul would say) You paved the way for others (and then he would smile a wise old gentle smile)...

"Trust that in following your hearts desires that you will be fully supported for that is the true nature of things"...

...and well of course THAT just got me a thinkin' agin now then didn't it (!!) ...about how we keep using that damn green stuff (money ) as an excuse to stop us, from what really amounts to us fulfilling our own true individual destinies... What's with THAT? My hubby is doing the same kind of thinking and so are many of my friends... Plodding along doing 'things' because we HAVE to, because we have 'things' to pay off and leaving precious little time over for the 'real things' we desire, LoVe to do, want to spend time with, and etc...

...Well l'll let you in on a little secret... I don't do THAT anymore... ssshhhh... No really l don't... What do mean give me an example? Well ok... Now l'm not saying that l have this way of thinking, or indeed living, 'down pat' YET but l have glimpsed this whole other way of doing 'stuff' and this is what l started with... I took a leap... Yep (not unlike the Fool of the Tarot cards) l just stepped right out there with the thought in my mind that l would remain open to 'other' ways of seeing things... That l would try not to judge myself or others and that l would suspend my belief system, just a little and SEE what happens... For l had cancer at the time and had nothing to lose...

But don't run off now because THAT's when all the MaGiC started X:-)

That's when 'ThInGs' just started arriving on my doorstep.. no REALLY, literally... When l put a 'thought out there' it just came right on down to me! NO MONEY required! I began to find what l needed in the form of a friend showing up and giving it to me, or for just a dollar in the op (thrift) shop, or someone in my family would gift "it" to me... THEN more stuff started happening like when l was low on cash, then the 'things' l needed would be on 'sale' in the supermarket, or l would find a 'special' sign would be positioned right over the 'thing' that l needed... WEIRD right?! It even got really scarey when l called out to the ethers that l needed to be able to extend my home because my kids couldn't fit into our Beloved 2 bedroom cottage anymore and l recieved a 45,ooo.oo dollar (Totally UN expected inheritance) cheque in the mail... I know 'things like that just don't HAPPEN to 'ordinary' folk like me' ...You'll say and l did too!... Well do you know what l've figured out that THEY DO! Great and fabulous things , magical wonderful things, adventures, beautiful journey's, love, it can all happen us 'ordinary folk for THAT is the 'natural' way of things ... I figure it's like this... "If you want to see the faeries you have to use your faerie eyes" (I've done a sketch on that)... All it takes is a little imagination, a little "well why not" attitude and as long as it is coming from your HeArT then it's like the world around you just "shifts"around to give you what you need... BUT (and isn't there ALWAYS one of those!) BUT you do need to look at how you actually 'think', what you actually allow to float around, day in and day out among your grey and pink brains cells, you have to be 'mindful' (I've learned) You do need to watch your thoughts and look at re-arranging them to FIT your dreams and THAT for me has been the 'trying' part... The 'looking into ME' part, but you know what? I am also discovering that THAT is also the BEST part... The most wonderful part, the best, most exciting, wonderful part because THAT's when l started drawing towards me all the beautiful people of my dreams, the wonderful experiences that have opened my eyes, the journey is now FINALLY all mine and l own it! I now realise that l don't need money, l just need to know myself...At last, I have discovered that all that l 'draw' to me is of my own doing, is the refection of my thoughts and l have found a true beauty in the LAST place that l ever expected to find it... in MY very own hEaRt X:-)

...and well look l don't even know what you even call all THAT, what 'title' you find for THAT... But what l do do is GIVE THANKS... l give a silent prayer, l give ThankS and smile and move forward with my 'gifts of things', knowing in my heart of hearts that l am truely not alone in this quirky old journey of mine, that this is how 'things' are meant to be...

...and l remember not to be afraid to share all this because this too is how 'things' are MEANT to be X:-)

*Hugs to ya* Vicki x

(PS) and l find it by no co-incidence that as l finish this piece a little song comes on the radio called "I'm doing alright" by Adam Harvey singing about these very things that YOU and I have just a bin a chattin' about X:-)

...and now .... "Here bunnies, here bunnies, bunnies..."

I wish I was there to give you a big hug. That was a beautiful--- absolutely beautiful post. I loved every syllable of it, every puctuation, every heart-felt sentiment of love, life, hope, and pure faith. I believe every word you said, and am glad I have a kindred spirit in you.

Peace & Love.

I don't want to repeat what has already been said so well by the others, so I'll just say, "I think you're grand! Your writing and painting make me laugh and cry. So, carry on, Nolly Posh!"

Nancy

Hey girl!! I got to ask...what does Nolly Posh mean? Is it one of those Australia words you folks throw around down under? Years ago I backpacked through Italy, and stayed in a hostel for awhile in Rome. I met this unbelievably sweet girl from Australia who was doing the same. We shared a bunk. But..she kept telling me that she loved my "skivies"(?spelling). Finally, after days of thinking she was watching me dress or something--I had to ask her what she meant by skivies--and she said it was my sweater. I thought she meant underwear. Since that day I've been intrigued by all the silly words Australians use. So, does Nolly Posh mean something??

Peace & Love.

Oh Connie X:-) YoU are a riot! Lol! And l know WE are ALL just a tad mad over here! But "Nolly Posh" is how my youngest used to pronounce "nail polish" Doncha just love that? (I got special permission from her to use 'her' phrase!) X:-) My son used to call car window wipers "wisha washa's" too... Now how can l use THAT one? ...Skivvies are those long sleeved tops with the roll necks (You must've been cold!) We have "thongs" here too (Summer sandle thingies for FEET) that New Zealander's call "jandles" (Wot's up with THAT?!!) ...and a "fanny" here is not ya bum! (Which is ya "bottom" in more polite company... Ya bum that is not ya fanny... Oh sheesh now l'm just confusing mySELF!!!) X:-O! Lol! Vicki x
