The Gypsy on Adventure

OH MY I hate this month!

Like I don't have enough issues this month! My bank sent me a LETTER (why not a phone call I don't get!!!) that my account has been compromised! GAH

So down to the bank I went...and found out it was the one and only time I ever went to TJ Max...makes me want to ONLY use cash...gah

Quotes

God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless. -Chester W. Nimitz

The one thing you can do is to do nothing. Wait . You will find that you survive humiliation and that's an experience of incalculable value. -T.S. Eliot

Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer! -Ed Cunningham

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds! - Buddha

I have to remember the last quote as I view the life with Alien and all that she gave me. Today I swear I felt her on my legs while I was at work.

Healing Connections

The Skinny Fatbook I am in for Artistazine, I missed the post date and checked that I could still send them in tomorrow, so since I got the ok from Susie, I decided to put this on the Pull Tag and you will see it when the window comes open!  With Alien passing I completely forgot to send in my pages!!!!

Since Alien passed the meaning of this window finally hit me when I looked at it with fresh eyes! She was telling me the whole time! NO one will see the Alien and date as it will be too far down, but "I" know it is there! The tag says "When a spirit needs to move on you have to open up a window and let them go! Look inside nad try to find the joy left behind in healing play!"

Happy

I am SO excited about my 3x3 Altered Board Book! It is really coming along GREAT! Mainly the theme is Fairy, Gypsy, and whimsy...I had to have my Bowie in it and I LOVE how this is coming along! I am "getting it"!

Yeah! I get it!

Is it time for your seriousness to take a rest, Gypsy? Given your innate tendency towards heavy thinking and deep feeling, some relaxation or laughter (or both) may be well in order for you. Your psyche needs a break from such things and it's up to you to make sure you bring this into your life on a regular basis. Without a release every now and then, such conditions as depression and anxiety can creep in before you know it. Have some fun today.

Ok! I didn't stay in bed all day eating junk food and watching movies! I got up early! Michael drove me to Santa Cruz to meet up with the girls...we did art all day! Yeah! So I got it!

Have to get up today...

Ok so now this morning I feel a bit sluggish...I spent the ENTIRE day in bed yesterday...I ate REALLY bad things like chocolate covered cookies, popcorn with real butter, about 3 cokes, and taco bell for dinner! I just didn't care yesterday...and I felt better with all the junk food in my bed while I cried...watched TV and read my zines...   Well I tried to read the zines...I mainly looked at all the pictures in Alma's new odd ball one and Teesha Moore's issue 6...I couldn't wrap my brain around words yesterday.

We all heal differently!

And thank you to all the women friends who have been thinking of me and sending me good thoughts to heal...I know I just have to FEEL everything and not skip a step and eventually I will be able to work it out...just not today.

Snarf...

Very funny!

Love:  Death     Touchstone: The Sun     Career: Justice

Your heart bleeds today, dear Gypsy, and you're finding it difficult to smile. The combination of the Sun and Death is asking you to draw a line under a painful situation that's been dragging on for too long - a relationship that's ended badly, a friend that's gone away. whatever it is, you'll have to get over it and believe in a happier future if you want to get that smile back on your face.

Scope:

Tasks that involve working with other people could be a bit emotionally draining today. Stress and nerve strain run high among those involved, Gypsy, and tempers are likely to be frayed. It's always best to try to defuse confrontations before they happen, but if this doesn't seem possible, it might be best to put off whatever you're doing until tomorrow, when everyone is in a better space. It does no one any good to create unnecessary negative energy.

I feel ... empty

Scope

You are feeling a stronger connection to your feminine side, helping to validate your sensitive feelings, Gypsy. The key is to not feel like you are weak because of these tender emotions. This wonderful sensitivity is your greatest strength, and it should be held in the highest regard. It is one of your greatest assets, so do not disregard its incredible power, and don't let other people trick you into thinking that it is a weakness.

Wow! Yes I am extremely sensitive lately, mainly dealing with little Alien...I guess I do need to hold this as a strength verses a weakness.  Michael always tells me that I am a good person and I have a hard time believing that at times...funny how the old tapes invade your spirit and try to diminish you as the good person you are.
