Bluebell - check your horoscope.

Today may not be a good day to bake. Anything.

And watch out for the power leads.

OMG! Tawny. You're right.

I'll just have to tell my daughter that she will have to be 6 tomorrow.











:hijacked: So sorry................as you were.

[pansy]

JUST A THOUGHT..

Tawny, lol.

Perhaps I ought to check my horoscope. I still have not done any work - wait that is not true. In the spirit of loving kindness, I shall remind myself that I did, indeed, circle a word. It was an important word and I circled it in orange. Circling, notetaking, and typing shall proceed in haste tomorrow.

This is such a nice thread. I am so looking forward to learning more and am ready to order those books, my Amazon account be damned. Maybe we could pick a book and do an online study group? Or is that too boring sounding? I would love to learn from the folks who have immersed themselves more in this topic. Just a thought.

Bluebell, so sorry about the cake box! Yikes. I hope it was laminated???

Okay. Night night. Hugs to all.

Ha Ha ... My horoscope! It's so ... true - fun vacuums, venom spewers, and confusion creaters - endless job changers! It's all true! Breathe .. lol

If you feel as though you're running in place today, don't worry -- it's not your fault. The powers that be are holding you back right now, and you won't make much progress in anything today. This is probably not much of a surprise for you, and you shouldn't feel guilty if you don't really care about getting ahead right now. Other people have been sucking the fun out of everything, and they have created this confused situation, not you.

Wow Fan, love the makeover and that enigmatic smile...

Or could it be wind...

I hadn't realised there were so many like minded people on here, and we all seem to be at different stages of spiritual development....

I think I said earlier that I had moved this thread to the Holistic Healing board, well I have just read some comments posted over there, and lorrisunshine, you hit the nail on the head for me when you said YOU FELT AS IF YOU HAD A HOLE IN YOUR SOUL, that is exactly how I felt too.. I am just a complete novice in all this, if you compare it to going to school then I am on my first day, learning the alphabet ( goodness, have just looked at that word ALPHABET properly for the first time, of course, its the first two letters of the Greek alphabet, ALPHA and BETA, Duh... ) and I'm still on the letter A...

[Bluebell]

JUST A THOUGHT..

Irish, couldn't agree more.

A. On the Fan photo...I definately reckon it's wind.

B. On the something "missing" theme. Yup, I reckon (sorry) that, although I am not a religious person I am a spiritual person. I tried organised religion - nup, didn't work, unless you had a very nice, new hat that you just had to show off next Sunday.

C. Buddhism is more to geared to real life than anything else I have come across.

The box for the quick reply has disappeared.

Fan, isn't that a picture of Ward Cleaver?

I am thrilled for all the easy texts on Buddhism. It seems that MWO was a door to all kinds of amazing things for me. I practice Christianity because it is what I know best. To me, all religion is a doorway, not a door, and the two should never be confused. For instance, Lent finally means something to me because, since MWO, I know the value of spiritual self-examination and what it means to give something up for the greater good. I still have problems with all kinds of dogma, and I have big problems with the patriarchal nature of all organized religions. Also since MWO, I have discovered the value of meditation. After using the hypnosis CDs, I bought buddhist tantric chants from itunes, and I put them on my ipod and listen when I need edification (or sleep). Someone on the holistic thread suggested Centerpointe Research Institute (Centerpoint.com) for meditation CDs. They will send a trial CD, and it's pretty relaxing. I'm going to buy more from them. Their web site is interesting.

I like the idea of book discussions, but then, I'm an English teacher.

Thanks, everyone

A very interesting website - a real one this time ..........

JUST A THOUGHT..

Bluebell are you still here - didn't I hear somebody is 6 today with a wee sodden birthday cake !!!!LOL

[Serenity]

JUST A THOUGHT..

And also....

Should we be discussing buddhism here or under the holistic thread - most posts seem to have ended up here!!!and it is sometimes very easy to confuse me!

and another thing..... I am up for reading discussion but we need time to order book etc as probably not standard issue at your local Waterstones....

And one last thing.... My favourite expression is/used to be 'I would love to be able to do that if only I had the time.....' and then spend 6 hrs comatose in front of American idol or if it was a film it would never have an ending........ not one that I could remember anyway!

Love S

[Bluebell]

JUST A THOUGHT..

Yes, S, still here....

It was actually a sodden birthday box that a bike came in.

Not to worry...... all went well.

My 6 year olds cake (a strawberry/chocolate marble cake if you don't mind) went down a treat.

I am, however, completely knackered. I WILL muster up the extra energy to clean up all the mess (for mess read F-n crap) that is lying around and I am at peace with the world.




NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!

I just need to lie down in a floatation tank for about a week.

Or longer.
