Getting Lobstery in Miami

Ah the weekend is almost here! The sun is still shinning. Lobsters are all around us. Well sort of. I went to the Keys a couple weeks back on Elk-related business (because gee why else would I go to the Keys living in Paradise) and while my Chonga BFF and I were going there we all saw this Lobster outside a now closed restaurant. Ok now I have made that trip so many times that I have lost count, and this is the first time I noticed this Lobster. Oh yes it has been there the whole time, I would say if it was a dog it would of ate my head but it's a Lobster I am lucky I am still walking. We all were laughing at it as we passed by and on the way back home her witty better half said we have to stop for a picture. So we did!

I am determined this year to take a better look at my surroundings and truly appreciate them more. I complain about the heat and the sun and the heat and the sun and how I long for winter nights where one can actually wear a jacket and bundle up. (Note to readers: IN Miami it happens about 20 days of the whole year) But this is a blessing in many ways because so many other places have it worse. So I thought this was time to look, smile and appreciate. And look what I found when I did it ....a Giant Lobster??? Can you imagine what more I will come up with oh wait prior to the Lobster there were those Coconut heads...How can we forget those!

So I guess the lesson here is to look at your surroundings with new open eyes and just enjoy. I am.

Stay Tune...

Ok the wish is on!

Ok the wish is on!

Jamie at Starshyne Productions set the question out there.

What do you wish to read?

Eeeeck! Ok I just finished the whole (yes all of them) Twilight series. I am not sure if the last one is considered reading because the last book I actually had it as an audio book. That counts right?

Ok reading...what do I wish to read. I wish to read my thoughts and emotions in a way that will lead me on the right path. I wish to be able to read people a little better. Sometimes I tend to only think that people have no ill intentions and then I am left with hurt feelings when I see Greedy selfish behaviors. But I still believe that for the most part people really are good inside. So I guess I wish to read more of the good in people then bad.

So here's to reading more!

5 Stones!

Oh boy this morning's wishing stones all faced up! Rarely do all come up with messages and this morning is one of those. Ok so the messages are: Create, Strength, Wish, Dream, Magic.

Ok lets mix it up a little:

Dream: Nothing happens unless it is a Dream first.

Create: The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Strength: If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.

Wish: When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

and last but not least...

Magic: The Smurfs are little blue people who live in magic mushrooms. Think about it.

So there you have it soul, your words of wisdom for the day. How will this day turn out?

Stay Tune...

Magic and Strength

Todays Wishing Stones words of the day are Magic and Strength. Seems appropriate there is Strength in Magic. So what words of wisdom are there about Magic...So many! Lets keep it simple:

Wayne Dyer (American Psychotherapist) said that "If we are to have magical bodies, we must have magical minds."

As for Strength well I suppose Mignon McLaughlin (American Writer) said it well - "Our strength is often composed of the weakness we're damned if we're going to show."

It is going to be a good day today. Once my "paying gig" is over I head to the Elks Lodge to witness and give a small speech to teenagers who have completed a very hard tough love course. These are young boys who are first time juvenile offenders and instead of doing time they are pretty much shown what would happen to them if they continue on that path. The whole program takes about 6 to 9 months and it teaches the boys everything from life coaching skills to a visit to the morgue and prison. I have met so many nice young men from there who have learned that they have the power to change the course of their lives. Some of these young men are now counselors because they got it! So it is always nice to go and support this group. And sitting with a bunch of teenagers always makes me feel so young too!

So stay strong and believe in the Magic.

Well today is Wednesday

Well today is Wednesday and that makes it Wishcasting Wednesday spear headed and created by Jamie at Starshyne Productions. This week's question is

What step do you wish to take?

At first I thoughts ok what steps do I wish to take then I looked at it again and saw Step oh but how can anyone just do one. Like the pringles chips you cannot just one right?

Ok here goes, Mind you some of these I may already be taking those steps but it does not hurt to put them out there continue the journey.

• A step towards a better understanding of what makes people tick.


• A step towards not judging people by their label (ex: Rich billionaire = snob, High power CEO= rich snob, you get the picture right no labels just get to know and then decide).


• A step towards actually writing the Mystery Story aka get it out of my head and on paper.


• A step towards peace around me.


• A step towards seeing the good rather then the bad - I do this most time but oh there are those times....

I think this is enough (for the moment), always subject to change.

I did the Wishing Stone throw down this morning and oh boy 4 out of the 5 stones showed messages and those messages were:

Create

Wish (hum and on a Wednesday!)

Dream

Strength

Here are the thoughts on them:

Create : An idea can turn to dust or magic depending on the talent that rubs against it.

Wish: What ardently we wish we soon believe.

Dream: Dreams are the illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you.

Strength: Greatness lies not in the being strong, but in the right use of strength.

Go Create a wish and dream about how strong you are doing it!

Magic

A funny thing happened this morning as I sat at work drinking my coffee and trying to accept that yes it is Tuesday and I must face the day. I have this little box of Wishing Stones. There are 5 stones and each has one word on it. Sometimes in order to just center myself and bring harmony to my day I play a little game I take the stones out and toss them on my desk. I look at the words that come out and try to keep those words in mind. It brings me a smile in the morning and if you know me, for me to smile in the morning is such a big accomplishment so this is a good thing. Today's word was only one. Only one word stood out and the others quietly laid covered what was the word....Glad you asked MAGIC! So today my sayings regarding Magic are:

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. An idea can turn to dust or magic depending on the talent that rubs against it.

I think of this and smile. There is magic all around us if we look at it. Look at that plant that you know has been neglected yet refuses to die. Look at the birds flying around and butterflies that make you smile. Get an idea and do not let it go to dust, but instead make magic with it.

Yet it is going to be a good day. Tonight Moose Meeting .... Yeah it will also be good.

Stay Tune..
