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!  One 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…” 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. 
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!
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.    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 Watership Down with 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.

Oh cool.  Now I am going to make more sense.

Time for the Mayan forecast:Today 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.

With that cats and kittens, I’m off to work.

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.

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 :~)

Sometimes

Sometimes I think I am delusional.  Sometimes I think I understand.  One will win. 

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…

(I moved to Pink… I love her raw confusion.  Ooh my.  Katy Perry…)

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!
Piña Colada anyone?

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 mañana.
