Chocolate Dreams

Oh my friends!  Life feels amazing!  The energy I feel around me just sparkles! 

The Mayan Galactic Signature:

Today the Crystal Blue Night energizes us to be dedicated to transforming abundance through dreams and cooperating with your intuition.  Our guide is the Eagle’s vision of what we create in our mind.

I did wake with a really strange dream about rinsing your mouth out with chocolate…

Blackout Sun

When my eyes pop open and I am not “expecting” anything that day, I always wonder.  I admit I am a bit obsessed with the idea of breadcrumbs, tiny clues that lead to a path of understanding.  I really don’t think it matters what you are searching for.  If you are attuned, intuition will always guide you to an answer. 

That’s what I wonder about.  Waking up at 00:30 to greet the dark day.  What is it?  Which breadcrumb will I find… but not because I am searching for it.  Because I am aware.  

Mayan Galactic Signature (as usual, I take interpretive license):
Today the Solar Yellow Sun pulses the energy of the universal wisdom needed to attain enlightenment in our life’s purpose  (…. oh… I guess I see why I woke up… but uh, there will be no sun for several hours yet…).   We are guided by the Warrior’s intelligence to question and become fearless while finding hidden power in our birth.

It just is… or it is not. Be or do not.

Mayan Galactic Signature:
Transform into your defined vision.  Use your personal behavior to as a comparison for what you create.   Allow patience for the ideal vision to be set in your mind.  We are guided by magic to play with illusion.  We find a friend in our flowering awareness, a hidden power in change, and we are challenged to overcome instinct.  Thus is the influence of the Blue Self Existing Eagle.

One thing I have appreciated most about the Mayan Calendar is its openness and constant positive message when compared with modern day readings of astrology.  The only BEWARE aspect is the challenge to overcome… as a guide.  Not as a acceptance of woe.

There is of course evidence of the Mayan blood rituals, but there is also the postulation those came after the great leaders one day walked into the forest and disappeared.  The result of Chaos without leadership.  I have a strong inclination to accept this… like the Holy Wars of blood thirst and torture in an effort of control.  The Mayan legacy was too profound to be rooted in violence… by my uncontrived appreciation.

Weakness is the only reason to kill another to be who think we are.  Weakness is the only reason we cannot accept someone for who they are.  Jesus, Gandhi, Buddha, Confucius (and many many more)… didn’t kill to prove a point.  We can’t force someone to love, respect, accept, believe another.  It just is or it is not.

Kisses and love,

Out of Life

Sleep wooed me and I am but just awake.  I stayed up late again last night, interestingly checking on the Mayan Galactic Signature to find it quite relevant to the themes that played in my mind.  I wish I had the time to share my insight, but in truth I also lack the inclination for it will be a theme that I share in the Gazette.  Any information I offer now would be the tiniest breadcrumb with little direction… which is why I have created the education I have.  To fold knowledge into knowledge and create an insightful understanding that allows for deep understanding.

I will offer one clue to my thoughts. I was drawn to watch The Fountain (with Hugh Jackman). Although I wanted a comedy, this kept pulling at me.  After watching it for a while, I realized I had seen it years ago, but it had meant nothing to me then.  Last night it became a key.

That having been said.  The Mayan Galactic Signature:
The Electric White Wizard of seeks the activation of Timelessness through bonding with meditated enchantment in order to receive its aid.  We are guided by the Serpent’s life force of instinct, asked to find a friend in the Mirror, a hidden power in accomplishment, and overcome the challenge of the flowering seed.

If you have seen the movie or watch it today, I believe it will only do you well to reflect on its meaning taking the Mayan Galactic Signature into account.  You get out of life what you put in.

Cheers… my Love to you,

Naked in the Mirror

Mayan Galactic Signature:
The Lunar Red Skywalker looks like a piece of my puzzle… although I know not how.  The Skywalker is my hidden power and I am his (or hers).  Guided by the survival instincts of the Serpent the earth’s energy is the Kin of the Skywalker, polarizing space brings the stability to explore and find knowledge through wakefulness. 

Today is a Galactic Activation Portal

I find it no surprise sleep lulled me at 6 pm to wake now. 

12/12/2011  How time goes by.  There are so many secrets of the universe hidden in plain sight.  Breadcrumbs.  I feel confused.  Like I am looking at something but cannot figure out what it is. 
So many people think that once they get that thing… that thing that we don’t have now… we will finally have the key to happiness and every day afterwards we can skip through any difficulty with a smile… because ya know… we’ll be happy. 

It’s what drives consumerism.  It’s what sells anti-depressants…. just waiting for that thing.  The day we get that thing. 

I just recently watched an interview with John Lennon that said when the Beatles were at their height, when they had all the fame, money… they were a complete success… he wasn’t happy.  I watched part of documentary on a football player who lived football from birth and was the golden boy though high school and college, but once he got hired professionally he turned to drugs because he wasn’t happy.  Lady Gaga has made her success, but still I don’t see her as happy person.  She looks so sad inside… still hurting.

This theme plays over and over.  I know that while the Beatles were achieving their goals, they were happy.  They exuded it.  So did the football player.  So what happened when they reached their goal to finally find themselves… wanting.  When does Success = Happy?

I honestly believe it comes when we define ourselves in a way that we can accept.  In this moment.  In this very second.  In the quiet hours of the night when there is nothing to do… no one to hold your hand and talk about the day we will get that thing. 

There is one constant in my life.  Me.  People come and go.  Live and Die.  Only I remain. 
I am that thing that makes me happy.  I am my own definition of Success.  www.victoriacrystal.com/success  I stand before myself naked in the mirror.  I Am.
 
I love myself… and because of that… I love you.

It’s the Connection

Yesterday I spent the better part of the day trying to “restore” my iPhone.  It would work, sync, then fail.  The phone crashed to the point I couldn’t even turn it on.  It kept telling me to connect to iTunes and iTunes kept telling me that I had to manually reset it. 

There is a point I am about to make.  I’m not one to just rattle off mundane moments.
My computer crashed on my one day.  After speaking with Geeks at an electronic store, I was told it was likely the mother board.  Disheartened, I left the computer alone and used another.  After almost a month, I tried using a different electric cord.  Wallaah! It came on.  So today I did that with my phone.  I used a different adapter.  Wallaah!  It works again.

Just the other day, I was looking at a dream I had written down a few months ago.  I was looking for a plug and I couldn’t find it.  Now… without using physic abilities I can tell that “connections” are missing or needed to fixed.  But what they are and how, I do not know.  The important thing is I am aware. 

I am on the quest to bring awareness into everyone’s life.  It is the key to unlocking everything.

Mayan Galactic Signature:
Today is the Crystal White Dog and we are surrounded in the energy of love.  We are to dedicate our love to find cooperation and loyalty.  We are guided by the winds of communication using the power of our spirit.

Kisses to all,

Warrior Heart

The Planetary Yellow Star is a galactic activation portal day for the perfecting of elegance.  In producing beauty we create art.  We are guided by the Warrior’s power of intellect to use questioning to attain fearlessness. 

I must admit, this is the first time I have truly considered the Warrior kin. 
Warrior = Fearlessness.  Got it.  But power of intellect through the action of question?  And I must moreover admit that I am tainted by modern day depictions of the Warrior which tends to reflect more of a chest-thumping mindless bravado.  To ask questions is  sacrilegious.  The sing song of “Yours is not to question why, yours is but to do or die” comes to mind.

In Braveheart I think of Mel Gibson as the Hero… everyone else were the warriors (admittedly it has been a long time since watching the movie), but take Troy, Tron or Lord of the Rings….  anyway…  warrior has taken on a symbolic meaning of “Me go kill who you think bad. Ugh.”  (the ‘ugh’ seals the deal, right?)

But this Warrior…. the one who uses the power of intelligence to question actions and realize the true nature of fearlessness?   This is a Warrior that gets my heart all a’flutter. Red heart

Um, yeah... call me   Red heartRed heart

Pulsing Passions

I went to bed late and woke even later.  Such is the way of passion.

Today the Solar Blue Hand of pulsing accomplishment asks us to realize  in order to know, finding the intention of healing.  We are guided by the Night’s power of abundance to search our dreams for intuition.  Be open to opportunity, but resist distractions.

Ha!  That’s easier said than done.

Sometimes I feel like the dog in Up!  Was that a squirrel?

Off to go play with my passions.  Cheers and kisses!

Friend Change

Today the Galactic White Worldbringer brings the influence of harmonizing with death (or the end of a cycle) through modeling equality and the use of integrity to seek new opportunities.  We are guided by the power of our hearts to bring us loyalty.
 
It is a search know from within.

This weekend has proved wonderful.  I have rested and allowed all the trials to fall into the back of my thoughts where my subconscious has been quietly gathering answers.  Today I woke bright and early… able to solve miraculously the many difficulties that now belong to yesterday. 

I am so grateful. 

The Worldbringer shows us that death is an opportunity for growth.  Change has become a friend.

A Wrinkle in Time

There are some books that stay with you long after you have read them.  Interestingly Madeleine L’Engle discuss that in her Newberry Medal acceptance.

I only hope the book I author has the ability to influence a family as much as hers did mine.  I read a Wrinkle in Time to my children when they were probably six and eight.  I recall sitting in the living room, trying with every ounce of patience to give Mrs Which’s lines their due.
 
Years later my son and I are on the phone and as he goes to through his sister’s books, he finds the copy I had given her.  “Wow…” he says as he recalls the memories.  He reads me a few lines and I find that wrinkle of folding time and space to once again sit in that living room surrounded by my little loves.

One book, that had set such a fire in my brain in grade school that I read to my children years later that after more years had gone by I had to go to Barnes & Noble to pick up…yesterday.   Interestingly, there have been subtle hints leading me to this action for at least two months now, but with so much going on, I am thankful for the nudge.

Yesterday I experienced mind bending insights… not just from the book, but dream analysis as well.   I sometimes wish for perfection and the ability to record every dream upon awakening, but the truth is, I usually prefer the sleep. 

Anyway, what matters is that on this certain day I wrote my bizarre dream down and yesterday I was able to decipher it and capture an awareness. 

Key after key after key.

The Overtone Blue Night empowers abundance through commanding dreams to give light to intuition.   We are guided by illusion and play. 

I guess I have more to do.  I’m going to like this…

Kisses and love,

Bah.

So much was accomplished yesterday.  Step.  Step.  Step.
I am excited like home, Christmas, and a new pony all rolled into one!  I wake every morning believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy ( I keep checking under my pillow :~)
It feels so good to follow your purpose and face fears.   Right now I almost feel like sky diving… but perhaps I should save that for another adventure.  Too much to do right before me.  The fun part is how much I want to do.  Watch out world.  This girl is on a roll!
Today is the Electric Red Dragon… Rarrrrh!  The dragon is about nurturing being… our birth.  We are guided by the serpent’s life force of survival instincts.

Fire in your belly

Passion finds me up again at odd times.  I woke at 3:00, tossing and turning  for hours before finally succumbing to the siren’s call of seductive endings.  The end that is the beginning.

I am overwhelmed with the idea of all that I want to accomplish… and accomplish so perfectly.  The perfectionist in me must DIE!  I recognize that it serves and how it serves.  But in the areas it does not, I must once again revisit. 

I admit… I am proud of all I have accomplished… and so quickly.  Taking one small idea and turning it into a grand passion that, for the first time in my life, will find me honoring all of my gifts…  this is incredible.  I have faced doubt and fear and pushed so far beyond that I hardly recognize where that old boundary ended.  I Am a new Being.

I smile… contemplating Patience, my silly foe. 

Lists…  To Do Lists.

So today the energies of the earth point us to the Lunar Yellow Sun.  Lunar is the tone of polarity, seeking stability through challenge.  The Sun is seal of universal fire, seeking enlightenment in life.  Yellow is the South ripening, gaining power from fruits of harvest

The Sun is always Yellow, what changes is its tone.  So the Yellow Sun is the full development of conviction…  this is very interesting.  I had not planned on diving so deeply into the meaning today, but yet I was led and here I am.  Searching for the meaning of universal fire, I came up with an ancient belief of fire in the stomach that digests food is a connection to our soul, because a dead body does not digest food.  Then the thought of burnt offerings and sacrifices came.  There is also the colloquialism “fire in your belly” meaning energy of commitment… but why would one do or feel this?  Conviction. 

It all comes together… the pieces of the puzzle laid out like Hansel and Gretel’s crumbs to find scattered about the deep forest. 

It comes back to the education of Self Awareness.  Connecting to our innate abilities so we have purpose in the decisions we make…. to gain the power of enlightenment and receive life.  Today we are guided by the development of free will using the power of influence to receive wisdom. 

It is time.

Today the Magnetic Blue Storm is guided by itself to release the unexpected by allowing our unconscious mind to take action.  Go with the flow and become aware of what the periphery of your mind speaks.
I am finally getting closer to website completion and finally launching. I am excited for this quest… for it is one I was meant to take a long time ago.  Yet with experience has come wisdom and now the mark left behind with be more profound.

the place of Being

Today is the Galactic Red Skywalker, pulling us to the heavens showing ways to explore space through knowledge.  We are guided by the earth to evolve through synchronicity.

I spoke with the earth today… my son.  He is going to write a poem for the website.  I am so truly honored.  I feel today as if the sky is open to believe in… everything.  

I feel tired.  Like I could dream the day away and wake up in the future.  What is the future if it doesn’t begin today?

I am so thankful to everyone for the world we live in today… the music, the lights, the colorful pictures and beautiful buildings.  Each person who creates their own palace here on earth to live in and love.  We are all of us right.  We are all of us wrong.  As soon as we accept this we can get to the place of Being.

Garden sweat…

Today’s Resonant Yellow Human leads us to follow the path of free will that will inspire with powerful influence to become one with beautiful wisdom.  

We are guided by targeting our growing awareness and we have a friend in the knowledge that our accomplishment will bring healing.   Overcome  silence.  Breathe.  Feel the spirit within.  It is also a GAP day...

So I suppose that is the perfect lead in to a monologue in which perhaps some day someone will come across these words and gain insight. 

Fear.  Following our heart. 

There are, for me, two extremes:  Fear and Enlightenment.  David Hawkins points to Shame as the lowest, but since that is not a place I have spent much time, I cannot speak to it as easily as I can to my old friend Fear.  So it is here that I begin.

I will say this as I have said over and over and as I share throughout the gazette.  Our emotions serve.  They are a beacon pointing a way or bringing awareness.  It is what we do with these emotions that define us.

In the age of technology, we have become spoiled with instant.  Smaller faster better… I know this serves us.  It is preparing our conscious with what our subconscious is already aware.    It is this Awareness Phenomenon that will bring about great change… all that is so called impossible today.  But the changes will not occur through technology.  They will occur because of technology.  The human mind will become aware of its abilities.

I felt this shift occurring many many years ago, but it became a calling when I started writing the book… the one I will finish someday.  The book is on hold because it needs to be.  My intuition and life circumstances have lead me to new ground, one that I dare not deny again to be condemned for five more years in the belly of the whale, akin to the hell of limbo.

Everything feels as though I have already been here before.  Done this before.  Written these very words, shared these very thoughts.  This moment is my past… and yet I sit here.  Creating it. 
People… when you heart is called and your intuition guides you, your life circumstances will change.  Do not act on fear.  Let the fear show you the way to courage… and then act.  I cannot tell you how many doors have closed in just the last few months.  Had I reacted with fear I would not have seen the more brilliant light to follow… the light which has shown me how the pieces fall into place. 

But it isn’t solved with a few pieces.  I admit I still struggle with patience.  Several years ago, for no apparent reason, I began to garden.  To grow vegetables, melons, and fruits from a seed. 
It is those memories… spring after spring… summer after summer, working in mud between my toes.  Sweating.  Tiring from the sun.  Waking early to water.  Coming back in late afternoon.  There was nothing more beautiful than when all the work had been done, to walk into the garden and pluck tomatoes, lettuce, swiss chard, turnips, beets, cucumber, squash, peas, green beans, cantaloupe…  They were the fruits of my labor, and I loved them more than anything I could have picked up at the grocery store.

Seeds take time.  They require effort.  They flourish in love.  And the next year… you may just have volunteers…

I love this life!

Water?

Today is galactic activation portal in which the  universal water of the Self-Existing Red Moon seeks to be defined.  We are guided by our survival instincts to form this knowledge and go with the flow. 

Water is sometimes called the universal solvent because it dissolves a variety of substances, including all those necessary for life.  It made me think of our bodies, made mostly of water…. constantly dissolving.  To be reborn or die?  That is your decision.  I’ve made mine.

Painting Me

Today we are pulled by the south star to activate our elegance.  Free will guides us again… interesting.  Overcome images of self by finding power in the skies and a friend in playful illusion.  It is the Electric Yellow Star.

Yesterday I accomplished so much.  So grateful.  Today will be just as beautiful.  Have you seen the changes to the website?  Still not quite done.  But getting more inspired as I dive into the deepest waters I could possibly imagine and paint my world.

Dare to BE your Dream

Today the White Magnetic Worldbringer guides us to let go without fear of what the past represented and what the future may hold.  Look to the skies for new ideas.

I had such a discussion with my son yesterday.  Since early childhood he has been a poet, expressing his thoughts and emotions in verse, creating clever insight and beautiful inspiration…  Reading his words always made me feel so proud… but I never pushed him even though I have to admit I wanted to.  He was called by his teachers Mr. Imagination… the next George Lucas.

For a while I was certain he was going to be a mad scientist, always wanting to blow things up.  I can’t tell you how many Mentos and bottles of Coke I bought, let alone firecrackers.  He had great ideas for new guns and armor made from a special metal.  I gave him survival and hunting books, bows and arrows and BB guns, asking him to be responsible by eating whatever he kills.  True to form… he has.  This Thanksgiving his father is taking him out to again hunt for their turkey dinner.

So when he told me yesterday that the one thing he truly felt passionate about is creating poetry, but that it was stupid because he would never make an money and couldn’t be successful doing it… my heart stopped.

I think it was in the third grade when I wrote my first book.  I remember saying to myself as I looked it over, holding it in my hand to feel it’s weight. “I am going to be a writer!”  I also knew my limitations, and that I would need to join forces with an illustrator because the pictures I drew to accompany the magnificence of my story lacked to necessary depth to portray the true fun people were having at the carnival while eating ice cream and popcorn.  

I’m going to be a writer, I told everyone.

I love advice.  I think sharing the best of what you have to offer with others is what it is all about.  But when people share from a place fear…  Everyone wants to be a writer, I was told.  Good luck making any money.  Oh, finding a publisher is impossible.  Be ready for a lot of rejection.

Being the sensitive soul I am, I felt their fear and believed it to be my own.  I had failed before I even tried.   So I then spent years trying to figure out what I “should” do.  I received a lot more “advice” on other potential careers until other people’s ideas became my own and I finished college with a Business degree from the Haas School at UC Berkeley. 

Going to UCB was undoubtedly a magnificent time in my life…. but working in the business world shortly thereafter was uninspiring.  The gray cubical walls and later the office with the window imprisoned my mind in a brutal way that seemingly didn’t affect others.  It wasn’t where I belonged. 

It was then I discovered how much I love to be challenged, so I challenged myself in the worst way.   Deconstruction for the years of vitiation came back to a little girl’s dream.

I’m going to be a writer.

But now, my desire to write is wrapped in a mother’s love… to make this world a better place… for my children… for everyone’s children.

I don’t want to tell people what to think… I want to teach people HOW to think. 

I don’t care if you want to be an astronaut or build sand castles.  If you want to go into politics or become a janitor for the school grounds… it’s all the same to me.  Each person, in every position of life is to be respected.   The difference is when you are out there sharing, being, doing what you do… do you know why?  When you get angry or scared do you destruct or construct?  Can you smile for all the right reasons?

I began my quest to prove to my children that following your heart and listening to your dreams is the only way to live.  Somehow society’s influence has its hold and daring to BE who we dream is still scary. 

It doesn’t have to be.  Read this:  http://simplesexy.victoriacrystal.com/CP1/FB1   Share this… with everyone.  Let’s do this together.  Let’s let go of the past without fear and let the future in with a smile.  Let’s all make decisions from a place of power and beauty. 

I love you Nolan.  Dare to BE your Dream…. please.

Excited by Words

The Red Cosmic Serpent is our enduring life force by which we are asked to know our instincts.  We are guided by the Moon and power of universal water.

Instincts and intuition are two skillsets I find fascinating.  Instinct is the reaction based on an immediate awareness (like catching a ball or moving from harms way) while Intuition is a formulation of subliminal messaging to bring about awareness.  In our culture neither are prized.  We use instincts for driving and intuition for directions, but now all of the GPS devices and “intelligent” vehicles are working to replace even that.

Epiphany.  Insight.  Awareness.  Instinct.  Intellect.  Intuition. 

Is it just me?  But I get excited reading those words.  They add up to Infinite Possibility.

My energetic healing class last week was so incredible.  I feel I should share… but I cannot.  Like a jealous lover I covet the experience in a way that is meant to make it last as long as it will.  To distill it now and offer pieces somehow seems base.  I can only say this…  I am a new being. 

I am listening (as my son corrected me the other day) to Native American flute…  There is a picture of a man on the album cover who brings Popi to my mind.  Popi reminded me so much of my father.  So spirited and full of life.  His wife, Laura, told me a story that I have always felt best describes him. 

Laura went out looking for him and finally found him at the top of a hill on their property. He had brought a chair with him and sat, looking out over the valley.  His long hair, usually kept in a braid, was tossing in the wind.  “What are you doing,” she asked.

He was silent for a while, then looked at her slowly and said, “I’m getting a blow job from Mother Nature.” 

That’s my Popi…. I love you Popi.  Thank you.

My thoughts are all over the place this morning.  Apologies.  I could really use some help getting done all the things to accomplish. The ball is rolling and once it builds momentum… 

My San Francisco 49ers won yesterday.  Home is calling me.  It won’t be long.

Heading Out

Just so you are ALL aware, I am taking tomorrow off as I will be attending the second and third sessions for energetics based on the Yuen method.  I will be headed to Atlanta where teacher Jill Isbell (a wonderful teacher whom I highly recommend) will lead the class of what I am beginning to feel will be a rather rowdy group. 

Mr. Magnificent and his soul sister will be together again.  The two are beyond funny.  And even more than that, I have this feeling that each holds a piece of each other’s puzzle.  We shall see. Perhaps I am getting all existential simply because I want to.  Well, there is nothing wrong with that.

I like seeing possibility and magic where others see ordinary.  I’ll keep my vision, thank you very much.  It’s the ones who see beyond that invent, create, search for it and break boundaries. 

I’m searching for it.

Today is the Lunar White Wizard.  I must admit.  The Wizard is one of the kins I feel least connected to and I am not sure why.  Actually, it is the White family.  Interesting.  Perhaps because the White Mirror is in my challenge.  That means I have a ways to go, doesn’t it…

I just spoke gobbldy gook  to you, didn’t I.  Well.  It’s a learning process.  And I am going to cheat on this one as I have no insight of my own.

Guided by death, seek polarity to enchant. 

Remember that death is an ending for a new beginning.  It is not necessarily about people.  It is about thoughts, ideas, actions, beliefs.

Well.  I am leaving early today and much to do.
Just HAD to leave with this:  Enjoy!
This goes out to you Mr. Mag and Nancy!

Pools of reflection

Today, the Magnetic Red Skywalker is guided by itself to explore space and find wakefulness.  To me that signifies pushing beyond limits… the barriers in our life only we have constructed. 
Waking up to the reality of space.  That there is more out there.  More to be seen.  More to be experienced. 

Imagine if we could fly.  That would solve the whole gas mess and traffic jams rather quickly.  Perhaps instead of wishing for new cars, we should will ourselves new abilities.

What a person can conceive, they can achieve. 

I have believed that technology is increasing exponentially so that humanity can transcend to a new reality.  Unfortunately, people are too focused on stuff.  My self included.  As I completely restructure my business for… well, essentially the world, my self reflection has become nanoseconds instead of long moments listening to the wind through the trees and staring deep into the reflection of water.

I am doing exactly what I want to educate people away from.  Sure, I could say what I am doing is for the greater good.  But in this moment is it my greatest good?  Am I being at my best so that I can offer my best?

The easiest answer would be to ask if there is any stress in my body.  Is my forehead tight? Do my shoulders or back ache?  Certainly not greatly, but enough to give me pause and know that I am pushing against instead of flowing with the tides of the universe.  

Today will be my quiet day of reflection and organization.  I can see where my intuition was leading last night as I made a list of things to do and organize was today's goal.  So now I can reflect… sounds perfect.

Ciao loves,

Message in a Bottle

Yesterday I had a social media meltdown where I blogged all over my Facebook.  It was sweet that some people thought I was actually sad.  It just goes to show how sensitive I can seem.

It is difficult for a woman who has practiced introversion the better part of her life to suddenly “need” an audience of millions.  The truth is I don’t know how.  But the message I have learned and “need” to share is too profound to hide from.

I can’t explain it.  I’ve been trying so hard to package it in smaller and smaller sound bites that will resonate… make people pay attention.  It is a way of being that allows for the individual to flourish while simultaneously offering their best to others.

It is about finding your inner strength and making decisions from a place of power.  It is  about understanding why all of those books on your shelves in the quest for the better you… haven’t worked.  And I have designed it in such a way that if one simply puts in the time… less than 15 minutes for reading and the rest of the week for reflection…. their lives will change for the better.  It is impossible not to.

It is not about suddenly waking up on a yacht finding yourself surrounded by dozens of simpering sycophants. It is not a get rich scheme and it will not work overnight.   It takes time to understand who you really are…

It is highly likely I will fall down a few times publicly, like yesterday… seeming needy instead of playful.  It is hard to type out “hey guys, I’m trying to be an extravert here!”Confused smile God they are going to lock me up… aren’t they.

I am being and have been tested in so many ways. And now it is time to put my money where my mouth is. (Ah… la canción, Sentimientos. Que dulce. I just got a message from my girlfriend… still in MĆ©xico.Green with envy)

And so the battle with myself begins. An introvert learns to become an extrovert. Can a leopard change her spots? Watch me.

Let come what may.  I am following this through.  I decided a long time ago this was my mission and now I am finally focused and ready.  Huu rah!

And now to the Mayan Mysteries:  Today is the Cosmic Yellow Human.  Perfect!  A day of free will.  You know… one of the things I love most about the Mayan Signatures is that there are never any bad forecasts.  It is simply the energy of the earth pulling in a direction and left for you to make of it what you will…

Today we are guided by the warrior to achieve intelligence through questioning our fears… (this keeps getting spooky how much this resonates).  Endure in order to influence, transcending wisdom…

Is anyone else paying attention to this?  I need to go hug myself.

Hungry Wolves

Well, because I was out following the monkey yesterday, I have pushed back the completion of the website, but… guess what… I don’t care!  Nyah-NyahOne thing I know is that following my intuition always  leads to the right things to do, even if it doesn’t make sense at the time. 
I sit here with my cup of coffee just chomping at the bit, ready to dive into production.  Once the website is complete, I will begin my marketing attempts in earnest.  I recently heard an adage that applies…
“Couldn’t lead a pack of hungry wolves to meat…”Dog face Yep.  That’s me.  But I’m working on it.
Well, today is the Yellow Solar Star.  I’m a Star, so I feel particularly inspired by Star days.  Do you know what your Galactic Signature is?  I love this site: http://www.icandosomething.com/mayancalendar/signature.php  In addition to the calendar I developed, I  use it all the time.  Hopefully you find it interesting, and if you have the means, please donate to them.  Red heart
Today we are guided in the opening seeds of awareness to show the elegance within.  Find power in exploring the skies and gain strength from reflection.  The magic monkey is our friend. 
On that note my loves,  kisses!Red lips
Below is the view from my table at dinner.  Yum

Happy Tears

Answers keep coming.  I am amazed at how much I have learned, how much I have gained from this short part of the journey.  I see beauty in everything.  Even the small fragments I would have called “setbacks” have become friends along the way. 

I was just suddenly pushed to look up a song that popped into my head.  I had no idea who sang it or what it was called, but I keep “hearing” these small hours.  Thankfully someone else was mistaken as the song is actually called Little Wonders by Rob Thomas.
 

I admit I just cried like a baby when I read the lyrics… from happiness.  I love crying in happiness… it’s is probably my favorite emotion.

To you, Mr. Magnificent, the calling of this song is… but of course.

Today is the Blue Galactic Hand:  we are guided by the monkey’s playful magic to find healing in knowing all you have accomplished.  Harmonize your presence by being the model of integrity.  Use your intuition to be at the right place in the right time.

I think I am going to watch this again and cry some more.  Open-mouthed smile  I've decided to follow the monkey and give myself the day off.  Have fun!

Refining death

The White Resonant Worldbringer, the symbol of refining death.  Today we are guided by our reflection to find endlessness (did you ever see BunnyWatership Down Bunnywith the two mirrors facing each other to give us a picture of infinity?)  and bring about opportunity.  Face your fears by considering the universe and find power in the creation of a new vision.  Feel deeply and adjust your beliefs.

Death is a moment of awakening and opportunity.  Put in the past those ghosts that haunt and serve no purpose.  If you have not learned your lesson from them by now, then today you should.  Prepare for an awakening.

Ahhhh…

I found myself counting backwards from 100 last night to put myself to sleep, but when that ended quickly, I thought I’d try the backwards alphabet.  After six times of doing that, I decided to just lay there.  That was at 3 am and after four Valerian.

The ideas just keep coming, and I love it… but I can’t seem to shut them off.  If this were reality TV, you’d soon expect to see me in a melt down, running half crazed down the street waving a loaf of bread in my hand.   But I won’t.  At least I’d open a bottle of wine first. Red lips

Oh cool.  Now I am going to make more sense. Rolling on the floor laughing

Time for the Mayan forecast:SunStorm cloudToday is the Red Rhythmic Serpent.  (You will soon begin to notice a pattern.)  Guided by itself, it is the day for intuition and being present in the moment.  The Serpent is life force, survival and instinct.  Within the tone of organization and balance we can find equality.

Seeds of Creation

I can claim more accomplishment than restful sleep. 

I am driven to the point of over-thinking which could readily create missteps.  My need to press on, however, is indeed instinctive… like a call from the wilds.  Finding a place of No Mind inside creation… interesting.

So we turn to the Mayan daily calendar.   Yellow Overtone Seed

Ah, the seed.  Working in the garden these last years has taught me a lot about seeds and bearing fruit.  I used to have such a spoiled attitude about the harvest.  Without having planted any seeds and little effort placed on the attendance of those springing up on their own, I expected a full bounty. 

I consider the societal upbringing to have some basis in that conception.  With the use of magic money our houses become full of items from all over the world and we don’t need to know the skill which created any of it.  We don’t even need to appreciate it.  We just need to want it, pay for it, and vwallah…  magic.

There is something to that, I know… but we are missing fundamental ingredients.  Thought and desire alone do not bring about creation. 

The subconscious dreams with the conscious care for the seed… the seeds of creation.

the Sound of my own Voice

I have so many magnificent ideas I believe it is going to take me a year to re-create my website.  That… and I am no web designer nor have I acquired any particular talent in visual arts.  But I am an idea generator and DAMN do I have a lot of them… and (said in the voice of Jack Black as Kung Fu Panda) of course they are all brilliant, so, you know… I gotta do them all. 

I love cartoons.  I was in someone’s house the other day just eyeing on their shelf all the worlds of possibilities!  From cuddly monsters to infinity and beyond!  Does it get any better?

So … ahh… Besame Mucho…  first song I was serenade to when I got to Playa.  This guitar player just walked up to my table and started playing and at the end the tables were applauding.  Damn.  And my girlfriend is there right now without offering to swing by from Amsterdam to put me in her suitcase.  Some people are so selfish.

I am dreaming of time and place.  So close.  I can almost reach it.  I’ll need to keep my conversations with Rodney a bit shorter, though.  He gets me so distracted that before you know it I am watching Kung Fu Panda for the third time.  Or is it fourth?  The really sick part is… I keep getting those Ah ha! moments from it.  Like I shouldn’t have gotten them all the first time?

So is anyone out there?  No comments on yesterday.  I feel so alone.  It’s a good thing I like the sound of my own voice… so much so I am going to do audio recordings of the gazette.  But that’s after the website.
 
First thing first is this blog and now I must close with the Mayan Signature of the day.

The Red Lunar Dragon, guided by space.  Trust your heart and share your dreams.  Find playfulness and you will do well by looking within.

Check.  Check.  Check.
Now I’m off to play with dragons and the monkey on my back.

Kisses,

Spooky

Today we enter the influence of the Yellow Magnetic Sun, a day for establishing within the sacral chakra the power to bring forth a universal message that resonates purpose.  We are guided by the message itself, needing to overcome core beliefs to accept its fire.

It becomes a little spooky for me sometimes how much this resonates.  What about you?

I must admit, there are certain aspects of understanding the calendar that are intuitive and as such un-writable, but still…  reading again what I wrote kind of freaks me out.

I have a lot to do today loves.  Ciao

the Magic of possibility

Today we have entered the influences the Blue Cosmic Storm, a day of DOING for self-regeneration through use of emotions.  We use our intuition as a guide through each breath and thus allow ourselves transformation. 

Whether we receive the transformation we seek depends on our gardening practices.
It is also a Galactic Activation Portal, a day noted as being a special day.  There are 52 GAP days, repeating every 280 days.

I am excitedly at peace.  I smile and I do not know why. There is a knowing on the horizon, as electrifying as the wind.

We must stop resisting ourselves people.  Let us accept our “mis-takes” and try try again.  It is our gift to be human.  I wouldn’t want it any other way.

End of a Series

Today is the White Crystal Mirror, a day for reflection that is to be guided by our hearts to free ourselves from hubris and judgment of others.  It is a day of clarity in recognition that we are all born and create an existence through our choices. 

And it is the day for end our series on Change, which could not be more appropriate.
When I began this series, I instinctively felt there was a message that needed to shared, but I had no idea how much it would change my own life.  Fear has melted away.

Patience and promise have replaced it.

As always, I am excited to hear how it has affected you.  What insights you have received.. has it brought acceptance and greater peace?

I am not the greatest self promoter (I’m working on that), so please feel free to pass on my information to others.  I know they will thank you for it.

The next series is on Intuition… and I could not be more excited.  Great things are coming.

Profound Answers

Today is the Red Spectral Earth, a day to be guided by release and the acceptance of one’s choices to find yourself doing, becoming, thinking the right thing at the right time.

I have actually been doing a lot of this lately and interestingly enough, it was the thought I mulled over this morning as I was lying in bed.  I have made many difficult decisions that resulted in a much longer and bumpier road than I would have liked…  but I have certainly had my fair share of fun, too,and I will not complain.  I recognize now, as I did then, how truly fortunate I have been… safe, cared for, with all my needs met while I wrestled the holds of our society. 

I have been a philosopher, esentially, my whole life, quietly testing the fabric of our beliefs.  I remember at19, sitting in a Jacuzzi with some of my apartment neighbors and boldly making the statement that I would write a book entitled “The World As I See It.”

I have continually questioned why people limit themselves, and perhaps I have spent these many years doing just that, so I could learn what it takes to break free.  It is now I realize the implications of this path to be more profound than I could have believed.

As I finish this series on Change, and begin to explore Intuition…  I see…  

Now I properly claim the title.  I, Victoria Crystal, am a Philosopher.  I have found Peace.

The White North

Could it surprise you that yesterday was yet another example of a perfect day?  Today we enter the White Galactic Wizard, a day for meditating on who we are to the world within enchanted timelessness.

It begins a very good question: how will my life’s mark be a benefit even after I am gone? 

We hold such tremendous power, but people are too focused on silliness, myself included.  I’ve always said, in 100 years what will it matter? 

Finally I have done something that will.

Follow your inutition…

to the ends of the Eartch…

Mr. Magnificent and I laughed about that for a while last night.  Oh how it still tickles my funny bone. 

After reading the back of the first business cards I so proudly handed out, I had a young man walk up to me and ask, “…So, what is this word?”  I looked, mildly surprised that he would have a problem reading the simple phrase.  “It says … follow your in..u..tition.  Oh my.. well..”  Of course I spent the rest of the day handing them out with a smile, hoping no one else would notice.

And then there is the matter of connecting with the Eartch’s energies.  Ah yes.  Something I could have simply fixed a long time ago on my website, but I think I like torturing myself with that little mistake so I remember to keep it real and abscond from perfection…

That is I THOUGHT that’s why I kept it there, but Mr. Magnificent so eruditely pointed out that the Earth’s core is indeed crystal and by adding the “c” to Earth I was correcting a long standing mistake.  Galileo had only been half right.  The Eartch is not only round, there is indeed a ”c”!

Second, I was informed, that inutition was the tuition I was to be paid for teaching people how to truly follow their intuition.  I had simply been letting them know up front what they needed to provide.

I feel spoiled having such a wonderful friend in my corner.  But now I have a problem.  I'm still perfect...  Oh well.  Must find trouble.

So, to that end:  Today is the Red Resonant Skywalker, a day for exploring the unknown to find inspiration and gain knowledge…  I like it. 

I am going to follow my intuition and see what this day holds.  Don’t forget to bring your inutition if you want to follow me on the full ride…

Dreamy

I have been having a lot of strange dreams follow me through my day.  Dragons in Hawaii and a strange boy with yellow and blue eyes.  There were gingerbread houses around the pool and lots of beautiful art laid out on the tables inside.

There is a web of gauze around me and I am not sure if it is the safety of a cocoon or the web of a spider.  All I know is that something…  something…

Today is the Yellow Rhythmic Human; a day for organization of free will to gather the harvest.  That feels eerily profound.

Again the Absent Minded Professor theme seems apropos.  I have a lot of good traits, but organization is not one of them.  And yet, I know that the success of each day depends upon, in part, this organization.  A few day ago, I had recognized this and already began to put tasks into Outlook and created a semblance of routine for my mornings.

And since change is in the air, I have decided to include the Mayan Signature each day as a reminder of my ultimate goal: to get my calendar out to the website.  I have never known greater success in my life than when I began to connect with the earth’s energies and my own intuition.  Today my intuition guides me to do just this… as I listen to Native American flute :~)

I know Pandora was created just for me :~)

Qigong bubbles


It was a fantastic weekend.  I managed to mix a client-based weekend with a little bit of fun.
The highlights were simple moments, dinner over-looking the bay with a bottle of red wine and fantastic service, (thank you Andy for the extra mahi mahi!) and a quiet walk along the water. 

I practiced Qigong this morning, partly why I am beginning my blog later than usual.  I feel amazing!  It is as though any heaviness that was within me has transformed to floating bubbles with the luminous glow of a rainbow.
I find so many things to bring a ready smile.  Why do we create difficulty with fear?  Alas, that is a question to end all others.

One point I have always tried to impart to my clients is to accept life as a process.  It is okay if you want something now and that desire moves you to action, but you will not serve yourself by becoming disappointed in the process.  It empowers.  It teaches.  It is the way to create continuity for your desire. 

Sometimes it is good to remind myself of the same things.
Fall down.  Get back up.  Try try again. 
Time for a late breakfast.  Care to join me?

Not dead... yet

I find it interesting that although we are all part of this human experience, we find mistakes humiliating.  

My daughter has had this tag line as her email signature for years now:  “I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that don't work.”          - Thomas Alva Edison   I love her for this.  And while I accept this as truth, I still find ways to be hard on myself.  

There is that fire burning for everything to come together quickly and perfectly as evidence to my own perfection.  When will I give that up?  I certainly hold no one else to that standard.  As I sit here, I can smile and say “soon”. 

Mistakes mean living, learning, curiosity for something new…

Finding out that Steve Jobs died and then listening to the speech he made six years ago at Stanford, a lot of thoughts run through my mind.  I wonder how many students there that day actually took his advice or even understood what he was actually saying? 

We cannot walk in someone else’s shoes.  We can only consider as if.

I have thought of dying a lot.  Not morbidly.  I have no desire to die. I have no desire to cheat death either… but I do have an honest desire to live to 473 years on this earth.  People laugh at me when I say that, but genetically speaking, there is no reason why I shouldn’t.   
If I die sooner, I’ve allowed myself to be talked into something.  If I die sooner, you can know that I have no real regrets.  I have been following my curiosity and my intuition… and with that, my heart.

I have certainly found more than 10,000 ways that did not work, but the ones that do have more than made up.  My children are my crowning jewels… with the millions of mistakes I have made raising them and the zillions of mistakes they will hopefully make in their life… nothing to me could be more perfect... and perhaps with that I have just found my perfection.
I have been on a mission to find a better way.  Thank you for the company...

Get it write

I was a bad girl yesterday not writing.  I became mired in one To Do and then distracted into the next, until I was completely lost to the world of problem-solving.   I have often considered myself the quintessential Absent-Minded Professor, becoming so absorbed in thought that the world falls abstractly away.  Certainly my children have thought so…  “Mom.   Mom.  Mom.  MOM!   

Oh well.  No one is perfect.  And I hope you can forgive me.  Perhaps I can make it up with something extraordinarily witty to share…?  Perhaps not.
On an important note; my newest set of business cards comes tomorrow.  (Summertime by Rosinha de Valencia is kicking!  Yes, more guitar.)  I love the creative personality business cards have to offer and wonder why more people don’t have fun with them.  The ones I passed at the event last weekend were “peacefully playful” while the ones for tomorrow are “playfully cute.”  You see?  You want one of each, right?  Depending on the day, I'll give what I feel.

Ohh.. Jesse Cook, Into the Dark.  He has to be one of my favorite guitarists.  I absolutely melt into his music.
After a few discussions, it has been decided that I will change the sub-title of this blog from “Starting” to “Restructuring.”  I’ve been questioned a few times why I’ve used the word starting.  To me it was obvious: Duh!  I’ve not owned an internet storefront before.  This part of it is so new to me that starting is the only word that made sense. 

But Life Coaching is not new to me, and thank you my friends, especially Mr. Magnificent, for pointing this out.  I shall no longer disregard the expertise I have in this area.
I welcome the challenge of bringing my life coaching insights together with my penchant for writing.

Henceforth, restructuring it is…

Define your Life

Today’s issue of the Simple Sexy gazette brings a huge smile to my face.  I can’t help it. 

We were not taught about change; what to expect, what it means to us and others.  Yet it is a fundamental part of our life that we are continually involved in.  In this issue I have taken an analogy that I believe resonates well and will be carried through to a deeper understanding.
I hope you agree!

Live on the Radio...

So many things going on, but first:    A shout out to Jen!  I am so glad we connected!  Your Little Miss reminds me so much of my daughter at that age. Synchronicity is indeed the word!

I am listening to Gino D’Auri play Ida y Vuelta (loosely translated: to there and back).  His bio begins: Guitarist Gino D'Auri was born in Rome, the grandson of a gypsy… no wonder I love the song
So it began last Wednesday when I went out looking for trouble.  Instead my intuition led to good fortune and an opportunity to hone my message.   I spent much of Thursday crafting materials to hand out at the event Friday and Saturday morning (which is why there was no blog Friday, apologies).

I was very pleased with the results and was even given radio air time for my first live interview.  Thank you so much Lori! 
Oh my.  The next song I find to “like” on Pandora is Gypsy Circle by Incendio.  Theme anyone?

… as a result of this recent campaign, I have been able to wrap my head around making some changes to the website that should be up later this week.  I have to admit, I love being able to put things “out there” and then later change my mind.  But I truly miss Will’s mad abilities.  My creations are visibly more amateurish in comparison, but this girl will do what she must.
The Mayan calendar keeps haunting me.  I need to get that out.

My mind has already melted.  The list of To Do’s grows, but I could not be happier about it… because, as my son said to me yesterday, everything is falling into place. Gosh I love him.  We had such an amazing conversation.  He continues to amaze.
Ciao bella y bello.  Hasta maƱana.

Wet fur

I love going out and about.  And without going into detail yet, following my intuition may prove itself yet again.   It poured rain yesterday and I got soaked trying to find a spot to sit, relax, and (of utmost import) find a place to plug in my laptop. 

In the end I went low tech anyway and chicken scratched my next concept into my binder at a local pub.  Hi Christian!  Hi Lori!
So much work to do I found my eyes popping open at 5 am and refusing to close.  I truly love my work and passion moves me.

Today I finally ordered business cards.  They are absolutely adorable and I thank Mr. Magnificent for his reinforcing belief in my flair.  They are not the style of cards one would likely suspect me to gravitate toward, but hey… I am nothing short of unpredictable.

On the prowl

Yawn. Today I feel like a cat. Sleepy, distant... mildly curious... waiting for trouble. I'd love to find some.

Yesterday I watched the curious case of Benjamin Button for the first time. I have to admit I am not a great fan of Brad Pitt. He's too good at what he does... dissembling.  Irrespective to my aversion, I enjoyed the movie a lot.   True to form, Pitt was believable and Cate was stunning.

Staring out the window listening to Coldplay the theme of trouble finding wrestles me to action.
I’m going to get in my car and drive until I find it or am sated in some way.

Not a Chance

Business first:  Having made an executive decision, the SimpleSexy gazette will henceforth come out on Tuesday, that is until such a time as I change my mind again ;~) There are actually several good reasons for this, not the least of which is that Monday’s tend to be disorderly for many. I’ll honor this current energy and go with the flow.

And now...   What an incredible weekend.  Not sought but accepted, not expected but appreciated.  

It was determined, quite to my surprise over coffee Friday morning, that I would accompany Mr. Magnificent in attending a class on the Yuen Method of Chinese Energetics.  I had expected the class to have somewhat of a vampiric aspect on my energy.  Often when working deep within one’s psyche, there are emotional euphorias that are closely followed by despondency (as discussed in the series on Change: Part One).  Add the palpable influence of others and my ability to be an emotional barometer…
Well… I proved to myself yet again that the simplicity of understanding and acceptance are keys to changing one’s everything.  Watch out.  Here I come.   

At the end of class we experienced an emotional shift what we imprinted for recollection.  The experience was nothing short of profound and there are already discussions about attending the next session. 
Hi Jill, Bonnie, Christina, and Mr. Magnificent’s soul sister Nancy!  Perhaps we will see you all next time!  Wait… I’m in ‘Bama…  perhaps we’ll see ya’ll next time!

Gosh, there were so many wonderful things that happened this weekend, not the least of which was meeting this a precious girl named Alexis.  We were eating dinner in this great little Italian restaurant and she and her daddy were seated a table away.  She reminded me so much of my daughter and was just as sweet.  She walked over with her blue crayon in hand and honored me with a drawing on my notebook.  Circle and spirals I will treasure forever. 
And then, shifting through time and space in the large city of Atlanta, on the very next day we found ourselves once again seated next to each other in a restaurant a few miles away.  There are no coincidences.  This time Alexis took hold of my pen to share more of her gift.  Thank you little Princess!

Smiling, I am now off to work…

Fanfare

I had a profound dream, begging me to do what must be done, essentially, or suffer the consequences. And while I moved through this dream, a vibrating noise followed; as I sat at a table in a restaurant discussing philosophy; as I walked through a friend’s winery; as I strolled amidst trees or stood on a bridge.  Thup, thup, thup, thup, thup.  What is this noise?  Why does it go where I do?  Thup, thup, thup, thup, thup.  I could feel its vibration externally.  It did not come from within.


My subconscious was being baited.  Pay attention.
I wish I had.  It would have been a perfect moment for a lucid dream made more perfect by the theme.  Do what must be done… or suffer.  Oh to have accessed the subconscious insight.

To varying degrees we all have these crossroad moments, but only the open wise or the lucky are keenly aware.   

As I listen to the trumpets cry in La NiƱa de Mis Ojos, I am reminded of my father.  As far as the eye can see there is nothing but smooth sailing out to the horizon, yet I sense a disturbance.  How why or from what direction I cannot say.
Thup, thup, thup, thup, thup… went the overhead fan.  Pay attention.

String'spiration...

This morning I awake with an excitement that I do not understand but readily accept.  I feel genuinely “pushed” to create, to work on the website and make the changes I have been desirous to make.  I feel the magic.

Rain.  Rain.

I feel this brilliant orb within growing wanting seeking holding sharing bigger…  I am listening to Carlos Montoya on Pandora.  I have an acoustic guitar station I have labeled La Isla.  It has been an inspiration to me often, this morning is no exception as Jesse Cook now performs just for me…

Well… I am going to take this great energy to the website.  I pray it translates!

Delicate Dance

Have you ever noticed the delicate dance of change that goes one step forward, two steps back, or sometimes three steps forward and two steps back…

This is the change we are actively watching anyway.  Our lives are continuously changing.  I, in my own way, have become a master of change in that it has been a decision of mine to reinvent myself on a semi-regular basis.  Often it is in small ways like actively making adjustments to my posture, trying out karaoke, listening to a new type of music, gardening, playing a strategy game, trying new foods… or big ones like living in Mexico, traveling new places alone, or starting a business. 
Whatever the change, I have engaged in the delicate dance… one two three one two three…

My posture will slouch, I hit a flat note, there are a few songs I don’t like, weeds overtake my vegetables, I lose, something makes my stomach ache…
Yesterday the Internet gods decided I would not get my newsletter, the SimpleSexy™ gazette out in my time.  C’est la vie.  Regardless, it is a good one.  I smile at that.  I look at these moments not as setbacks, but as opportunities to pause and reevaluate.  Is there something better?  A different way?

If you haven’t signed up and would like a copy of this week’s SimpleSexy™ gazette, send me an email and I will send you the link.  I believe you will like it.

Cheers!

Tech no no's

I can create an excel spreadsheet to sing and dance its way onto your screen, but I cannot figure out how to work this social media scene.  My business page posts onto Facebook are forwarded to Twitter and my Tweets get posted to my home page.  But not the reverse.  And I cannot access my business page from my phone and from the computer FB keeps having me “use as Profile” to send messages etc.  Wicked annoying.  Can you tell I am losing my mind?  I gave my technical team the rest of the month off, but I think I should fire them for leaving me in such disarray :~)

I got so excited for the follow from Tdub that I tried to send him(?) a message.  Long story short, I wound up following myself instead.  Then I thought: why wasn’t I following myself in the first place?  All of this needs to be connected somehow..?!?  Another reason to fire my technical team for not thinking of this. 

Ah, visions of grandeur. 

Considering I was in Colorado last week… I suppose I should give myself a wee break.

The sounds of the birds in the trees outside the window tell me to take a walk.  Sweet twittering birds...  oh here I go again.
Have a wonderful weekend of laughter and kisses!
