Instant Karma?
So, yesterday, I was suppose to go to a "cattle call" for a job at a financial institution. I have been applying for jobs at this place for almost a year now. I have made follow-up calls, only to be told, "If we want to interview you, we will call you."
I didn't go.
I got dressed, printed my resume, drove downtown...I went to the bookstore instead.
Yes, I don't care for the retail job I have now; and, the pay 'sucks a duck'. But, I do have flexibility at the job - as long as I give enough notice, time off isn't a problem.
I just didn't go.
After an hour in the bookstore (I saw many, many lovely books!), I started home. Only 5 miles out and
KA-POP!
My front, left tire went flat.
There is a (now) funny story on that. If you want me to post it, just ask.
Let's just say a nice man stopped and changed my tire for me. He said I was too pretty to get dirty *flirt*
Husband arrived about 5 minutes after nice man left. He just smiled and said, "Of course he helped you - you are gorgeous." Yep, he wants something :)
I'm wondering, did my tire blow out because I didn't go to the cattle call and told husband I did? Or was it just time for the tire to go?
Off to the tire place today. whoo-pee
Peace & thanks for reading!

Posting
Posting this photo so I can update my profile.
Found this photo here.
Also at the cool new place I found, you can find your Goddess Sign. Mine is Persephone, which, after reading about her, makes total sense! Find yours and share!

I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them. ~Mark Twain
I'll be away again for a bit.
I want to leave you all with good wishes for a Happy-Blessed-Meaningful-Colorful Ostara.
I know my Spiritual Sister Bridgette will be making the most of the day.
Peace

While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about
Psyche is the Greek Goddess of the soul. She supports you in self-discovery and personal growth. Psyche shows you the way to integrate all of your experiences into your being and transform them into positive change.
"I am Horus, the great Falcon upon the ramparts of the house of him of the hidden name. My flight has reached the horizon. I have passed by the gods of Nut. I have gone further than the gods of old. Even the most ancient bird could not equal my very first flight. I have removed my place beyond the powers of Set, the foe of my father Osiris. No other god could do what I have done. I have brought the ways of eternity to the twilight of the morning. I am unique in my flight. My wrath will be turned against the enemy of my father Osiris and I will put him beneath my feet in my name of 'Red Cloak'."
These are the images I had with me during my recent trip. Everyone looks for "signs" in their life; I am no different. Each individual finds and interprets signs to fit their individual needs, wants, and desires. These are mine which I wish to share with you.
While away, after every encounter I had with someone - whether individual or as a group - I took the time to reflect on the verbal and non-verbal interactions. I accepted each challenge or difficulty as a sign for me to understand more about myself and what I want. This was most evident by my 3+ hour conversation with a man from Wisconsin.
I've never had a fear of flying; I am just not keen on landings. Seeing clouds in the form of Hawks the day of my trip assured me I was in good hands/wings.
As much as someone in my "circle" wants to destroy my relationship with my Daughter, I realize no one can cut that bond. I will continue to do what is just and right, in the way that suits me (and my Daughter) best - I am unique in my flight.
Peace

What I did on my Summer Vacation
OK, it wasn't Summer and it really wasn't a vacation.
I cannot reveal all that occurred, but I can tell you some.
I did get to see My Daughter. She got taller and more beautiful. She is going through a difficult time and was "thankful" (her word) that I was able to be with her through some of it. I was amazed that the 2 'adults' (using the term lightly) she lives did not speak with her at all about what to expect, what would probably happen, or even ask her how she was feeling through the whole thing. I mean, damn stupid people! Sorry...
On my flight back from seeing her, I 'met' a very nice man who - although said he was happily married - was trying to pick me up. That was a mixed bag of feelings - flattered that someone who wasn't too bad looking would say I had a "pretty face" and "wonderful laugh" - trepidation to not give him the wrong idea or to be stalked by him. It worked out OK. The most interesting thing was his telling me about Metaphysics. Which, I know nothing about, but now, wonder if I shouldn't find a book on it. From what he described, it would help me in my Spiritual quest. I'll let you know.
Another thing that happened - I bought me a lawyer. OK, I didn't really buy him, just gave him a few gagillion to get My Daughter where she belongs - with me! He agreed that I had bad representation the first time around; he also agreed that the ex's wife is not the one who should be having a say in how My Daughter is raised. Oh, and he 'knows' the 'right' people in the legal system down there.
So, all in all, it was a good week. I miss My Daughter and hate that I cannot save her from everything. I will get to see her next week again - so, blog lacking will occur.
I also had some interesting Spiritual 'things' happen. I'll save those for another post.
Peace
