Love the weekends

2013-05-17T20:02:00.003-05:00

Weekends have been family time for the past decade.

I rush now, to get all the chores done on Friday by 7pm, so I can just veg out to this!

New Friday dress for Monica! (I bought more today, one dress, two sets of jammies.

And tummy time 1 & 2!

Monica is so easy to dress like a little doll. It's those nails that I have to trim this weekend. We have gloves for her, as well as long sleeve night shirts that cover the nails at night.

Now we are all sitting in the family room, watching Ottawa @ Pittsburg, and just chilling while Monica naps.

(did I just hear a noise?)

Happy Times with Monica

2013-05-11T16:50:00.000-05:00

Let me start off by saying there is nothing like being a grandma. It's not even about the beautiful granddaughter I was blessed with. Watching your daughter handle this gift, is gift alone!

The experience of watching and helping your daughter, bring her daughter into this world was amazing. Rick and I both agreed that that week has been the best week of our lives so far in almost 41 years.

My granddaughter is such a joy. She swims in newborn clothes 0 -3 cause she is so little! But SOOO Alert!

Truly happy times!

I do have a private blog site for Monica. Please email me at abutterflyloves (at) gmail .com if you would like an invite.

NLP and WORDS with Friends

2013-04-17T08:52:00.004-05:00

Once you learn about language, you can easily allow yourself to get angry when other people don't use the words you think they should.

This irritation can be with your family members, co workers, retail staff, anyone!

Fact – You cannot choose the language other people decide to use.
Fact – You get extremely angry when you hear the language people choose to use. You feel they should use different verbiage.
Fact – You cannot change or control the language people choose to use.
Fact – You can ONLY choose your own language.
Fact – You can ONLY change your own response.

2013-03-27T16:09:00.003-05:00

Philippians 2:12-18

New International Version (NIV)

Do Everything Without Grumbling

¹²Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

¹³for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

¹⁴Do everything without grumbling or arguing,

¹⁵so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

¹⁶as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. ¹⁷But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

¹⁸So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

A year later

2013-03-17T14:19:00.001-05:00

It's been almost a year later, when I started to feel better from being sick in 2012.

Being "attune" to your body, is not an easy task. However, being "in tune" with your mind is much easier, to maintain your health.

When I first started the path to my better health, I noticed a few musts.

1. Rest. It takes almost nothing to just sit down, and truly relax your body. However, if you have unfinished tasks, your mind might not allow you to do so. I found that completing a chore, waiting for the dryer to be done, preparing dinner, and resting while it was in the oven was key to a true "break". While it might be a short break, I have found that allowing myself to take that physical and mental break prepares me, and also energizes my body and mind to continue.

2. Awareness of foods and drinks. I love soda. Everyone knows. Coca Cola Classic is like a drug to me, and there is NOTHING more refreshing. However too much sugar, caffeine, and whatever toxins are in that will drag me down. Ice water however cleanses and flushes your system. I made myself aware that getting a bottle or two of ice water early in the day will offset my cravings, and I will drink LESS soda.

3. Sunshine. Most people are aware of the "winter blues" and the lack of sunshine and Vit D. I force myself to sit in the sun all winter long on sunny days. That was something I lacked for decades.

4. Acceptance of lack of control. Please understand that I do not see "lack of control" as "powerless". This, in my opinion, is the biggest flaw of any recovery. I do not believe we are powerless over any addictions. We do choose to be in control or not. The statement of "Acceptance of lack of control" is more about the Serenity Prayer. We cannot control the weather outside, but we can control our our house. We cannot control the behavior of others, but we can control our reaction to others. I cannot control how I love the taste of Coca Cola, but I can control my thirst in other ways, like ice water. The eye opening truth for me, was the more water I drink, the better I felt. And the same goes with people I cannot "control".. Once I accepted that I could not force someone to change, love me, care for me, or even listen to me, I realized it was NEVER in my control. By acceptance, I was able to do step 1, and so on. For 40 years, I never understood that I couldn't convince someone to help themselves, or love me.

I am human. I still have a need to be loved, accepted, even liked.

Health is a total package. You cannot have a unhealthy mind, and expect a healthy body. This is what I have learned in the past 12 months.

Jeremy Soule Symphony No1

2013-03-16T12:41:00.006-05:00

Jeremy Soule Symphony No. 1 The "Northerner"

Click here to be a part of musical history and get an autographed CD of Jeremy Soule's first Symphony

The composer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues his personal musical journey by creating Soule Symphony No. 1, "The Northerner".

The composer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim continues his personal musical journey by creating Soule Symphony No. 1, "The Northerner"

Composer Jeremy Soule has written music for legendary video games including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Guild Wars franchise, Neverwinter Nights, Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale, Harry Potter, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Total Annihilation, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, SOCOM: Navy Seals, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Secret of Evermore, Warhammer 40,000, Dungeon Siege I & II, Supreme Commander, Company of Heroes, Prey, and many, many more.

Credited with more than 60 commercial works, Jeremy has been awarded the prestigious British Academy Award (BAFTA), in addition to various other awards and nominations. His music has been distributed across more than 70 million copies sold world-wide since 1994, earning Jeremy the distinguishment of being one of the leading composers of our time.

Symphony No. 1, "The Northerner" (Opus 1) will mark Jeremy's first foray into the grand traditions of classical music. This symphonic work is planned to feature live players and singers in addition to the innovative technologies for which Jeremy has become known.

"Kickstarter offers us a wonderful opportunity, and with your help, we can kindle the beginnings of what will be a new way in which to bring life to music in the concert hall and into the lives of others. I want to thank you in advance, dear friends and supporters, for your kindness, enthusiasm, and belief in what I do. I look forward to writing this work for you."
- Jeremy Soule

Update from the composer:

Thank you everyone as I'm humbled and grateful for your friendship and support!!!

What's next?? I'll be honest, I'm not a kickstarter guru. I'm not savvy with it and that much I know because I have already been given good feedback on how to make it better. But that said, as we exceed our original goal, I'm able to invest more into the recording. My original plan was to record with a hybrid between live and digital elements--not unlike what you heard with Skyrim. But new possibilities open up depending on what happens.

On the top end of the spectrum, we could record in London with a full symphony and choir. We'll see as this is very expensive. However, I personally am not paying myself anything to make this music. It is a labor of love.

Every dime I make will go back into the recording.

I would not change a thing

2013-03-02T17:57:00.001-06:00

Sitting here, jamming to The Police on vinyl, smelling the dinner in the kitchen that Alyssa is making. Smiling hubby, excited for his granddaughter to come in two months, I recognize this is happiness.

Sure, life is a big run around at times. One has to work full time, just to pay their bills, to buy the food, and have only two days on the weekend to get it all done. However, I love it. Four loads of laundry to do between now and Sunday night. And I wouldn't change a thing.

If you are not happy with your life, are you waiting for something to "happen", or just dreading the day to day routine?

To me, there is nothing better than RIGHT NOW.

Maintaining a Sense of Inner Peace

2013-03-01T18:13:00.002-06:00

Serenity means maintaining a sense of inner peace even in difficult situations. We gain serenity by accepting the things we cannot change and focusing our energy where we can make a difference.

Fear, anger or desire can create a sense of urgency that triggers us to react impulsively. When this happens, we risk undermining our goals, damaging relationships--even violating our deepest values. By contrast, when we cultivate serenity, we don’t fear our emotions, but we do keep them in balance. We govern ourselves rather than being ruled by external circumstances and our feelings about them.

Meditative practices, contemplation, physical exercise and self-regulation skills all can help us to maintain a serene, peaceful state of mind. This mental state in turn frees us to live thoughtfully and intentionally. When we hold onto our own sense of serenity, we help others to keep theirs.

Spirit and Soul Protection

2013-02-23T15:56:00.003-06:00

There are times when you may find that being around certain individuals or groups of people leaves you with feelings of discomfort. It may be that spending time with a particular friend feels draining or that dealing with a specific coworker exhausts you.

Being around toxic or angry people is also draining. And you may even find that being surrounded by a crowd of people lowers your energy levels rather than perks you up.

This is not that unusual.

Each of us radiates energy and is capable of being influenced by the energy of other people. It is important to learn how to shield yourself, so you don't unknowingly take on someone else's energy.

While some people know how to instinctively protect themselves from being adversely affected by energy, most of us need to discover and practice the technique that works best. There are a number of ways to avoid being affected by people's energy.

Shielding is one preventative technique you can use. Center yourself and envision being enveloped in a cocoon of loving and protective light. This protective layer should allow you to consciously regulate the energy around you.

The intent to shield oneself is all you need for this technique to work.

You can even create a trigger word to assist you in quickly creating a shield. Say this word each time you create a new shield, until the word and the shield become automatically associated in your mind.

If you run into a person whose energy you find draining, you may want to cleanse your own energy field after your encounter. Sage, cold showers, singing, mineral water baths, spending time in nature, and a simple break to recharge are all ways to accomplish this.

Broken People are not POSSESSED

2013-02-22T15:13:00.000-06:00

With all the turmoil, and changes that I have experienced in forty years, I have been quite the verbal one with people that continuously blame others and disease for their behavior problems. It gets old when anyone claims they can't control typing or saying mean things!

You are not possessed, just acting out.

I am broken, who hasn't been broken? Many of us are from time to time!

Whether we are beat up as a child, told we are unworthy, or just attention seekers, our behavior can be "less than ideal".

I relate to broken people well, as my struggles can cause anxiety, and stress!!

When does it end?

Awareness of knowing that I only had control over what I can say, and what I do.

There is no excuse to tell someone, "I was angry, so I said it".. no, you have choices on how you respond. How do I know that?? Because I have lashed out at others in anger, and in the end, it didn't change the situation, however, because of my reaction, MADE IT WORSE.

How do I know I can control anger? Once I learned not to respond, I realized I was in control all along. That's enlightenment. No Straight Jacket Required!

The first learning for me happened this summer. Sometimes, no action is needed. However, that is exactly what I did. And it worked out in the end.

And so it began. "Non responding", was also a coping skill.

We cannot force someone to love us. Nor force them to do what we hoped they would do.

I don't feel as broken as I did before. Yet, I still struggle. I still think my interfering could change the course of events. And yes, sometimes I have to talk it through, if even for a moment, so I realize that doing nothing is an always an option. Even typing this blog is an option.

I am just tired of the "I can't control it" YOU ARE NOT POSSESSED! BROKEN PEOPLE CAN STILL CHANGE HOW WE RESPOND TO SITUATIONS!

The Captive Dove

2013-02-17T18:03:00.005-06:00

Poor restless dove, I pity thee;

And when I hear thy plaintive moan, I mourn for thy captivity, And in thy woes forget mine own.

To see thee stand prepared to fly, And flap those useless wings of thine, And gaze into the distant sky, Would melt a harder heart than mine.

In vain, in vain! Thou canst not rise:

Thy prison roof confines thee there; Its slender wires delude thine eyes, And quench thy longings with despair.

Oh, thou were made to wander free In sunny mead and shady grove, And, far beyond the rolling sea, In distant climes, at will to rove!

Yet, hadst thou but one gentle mate Thy little drooping heart to cheer, And share with thee thy captive state, Thou couldn't be happy even there.

Yes, even there, if, listening by, One faithful dear companion stood, While gazing on her full bright eye, Thou might forget thy native wood.

But thou, poor solitary dove, Must make, unheard, thy joyless moan; The heart, that Nature formed to love, Must pine, neglected, and alone.

Repost from 2008 about Blame

2013-02-16T08:49:00.000-06:00

Usually there is a tendency to leave things to destiny. When something goes wrong, we blame fate, (oe anyone but ourselves), for it. Then we feel the situation to be totally out of our control, which

prevents us from taking responsibility for our own life

. And we will not be able to work in any way for bringing about a change and improving the situation.

Instead of blaming fate for whatever is happening, we need to take up responsibility for creating our own fortune for the future.

When we have faith in ourselves

we will take up responsibility for our own life. We will then be able to work at making our each thought beneficial, contributing to our success, making a better future for ourselves.

Prayer for Peace at Imbolc

2013-02-06T22:33:00.001-06:00

This is Imbolc, when the ice begins to melt, the earth begins to soften, and the seed begins to stir in the darkness. Let the small seeds of peace also stir within the hearts of those who have been locked in the ice of fear, anger, and hatred.

As the heat of the sun strengthens and warms the earth, so may the heat of love and compassion strengthen the will and spirits of all of us who strive for peace.

I will strive to soften my impatience, so that my compassion can break free and thrive. Peace is a harvest worthy of my patience. I cannot hasten the growth of the crop by tugging on the new shoots. But I can prepare the soil where the seeds of peace may grow.

I can allow love to burn so brightly within me that I glow with the force of it, and allow it to shine so that the fear and anger held within the hearts of others begins to soften and melt.

Peace is not an outward ideal, but an inner truth that lies deep within each heart. May it break forth and flourish. So mote it be.
