Day 91 - Cleaning the Computer

I have files from year 12 assessments. It's a lot of accumulated files. Today I finally went through the collected articles, images, half-written documents, copies of legal documents and the like and 'binned' the ones long expired their welcome.

Middle of the day dad called on Skype. The laptop froze and I panicked that I lost the half-transfered files. I sprayed Christmas Calm around me, Daichi (grounding mist) around my feet, placed Joy oil in my heart space, and had a lie down with the hands on my head. The thoughts wandered, and got interrupted by baby's eeeh's before the time was up. However I did feel much better for it and got on with folding the laundry, until I figured out how to turn the laptop off completely and try again. Everything was intact, bar the Skype connection. What a relief! It took to early evening to get through the files I wanted to tidy up, create new folders, and condense the amount of things I have stored.

Day 74 - Happy New Year

As a happy new year to myself, I started the day putting on the Magnify Your Purpose oil, and used Joy oil as perfume to go out for the morning.

In the haze of recovering from late night and early morning start, this afternoon I opened my first email reminder of the 100 day journal from The Business Bakery. Since I haven't created or thought about goals for this year, the best place to start was to write today's entry.

Speaking of 100, I'm almost there with writing my 100th entry. I have enough posts now to start sorting through the tags and observing my topics. Along with this blog, the dinosaur drawings, and the short stories I'm creating, it's going to be a busy productive year.

I also found this gem posted by Jen Ward, to which I wrote the words on separate pages. Awakeness and baby allowing, I will complete filling out the pages in the next few days.

TECHNIQUE:  

Tap in Your New Year Intentions: Make a list of these words down the right hand of a piece of paper: Joy, Love, Abundance, Freedom, Health, Success, Security, Companionship, Peace, Life and Wholeness. Write down next to each one, what would bring you the greatest amount of each. For example, for joy, it may mean spending more time with your children or being around more animals. It will be different for everyone. After you have all the sentences, Convert them into sentences. Use these sentences as taps and tap them into your psyche. If you need to formulate them, into things you want to manifest, write them like this:  

"I make space in this world for _____________; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to manifesting ____________; in all moments"
"I stretch my capacity to manifest and accept ____________; in all moments:

Card of the Day:

Polar Bear: "Stand up for yourself and speak your truth respectfully and compassionately, with no attachment to outcome."

Weekend Holiday (Christmas)

Our Christmas routine had settled into visiting both mine and H's family in Warwick, because they coincidentally live in the same town.

I was challenged a few times with baby's crying. Her disrupted routine, extended sitting strapped down in the seat belt, and limited contact upset her enough to continue screaming instead of falling asleep. It took several goes of this to finally find a rhythm to get her to sleep before driving a distance.

On Christmas day I had an emergency session with my mother-in-law for her stresses. I used Rescue Remedy as a mouth spray, Christmas Calm as an entire body spray, and Wild Orange oil on her temples when she first arrived. Did the same before she left, and added Gratitude oil to her heart space at the end.

On Boxing Day, baby was conveniently asleep during a visit to someone I didn't want to see - one of the causes of anxiety during the trip. As a compromise we waved at each other.

I was bracing myself for a flood of pinkwash gifts for baby's first Christmas. And then it ended up only being two items; a hat, and a pack of blocks. The third item never arrived as it got returned under other circumstances.

I received an Arrowroot, energetically a protection medicine, which can be utilised in various magics. I hung it above a window when we got home.

Nothing is ever perfect but, overall, I enjoyed great company, fantastic food, and a relaxing time. Plenty of coffee got me through being awake from disrupted baby sleep.

Day 53 - Honouring Chaos Beginnings

The plan was for me to go out mid-morning with baby, and H to clean the house. It didn't happen as I had a panic attack and went back to bed instead. Baby had her nap as well and we stayed in bed for over 2 hours. She stirred a few times but went back to sleep quickly with and without my assistance. I got out of bed because my phone was running out of charge.

One of the conversations on Facebook offered me some peppermint tea. I took her up on the offer, kind of, and put peppermint oil on my hands and heart space, and made myself green tea. I also opened the Joy bottle to smell.

To shift my state further, I asked H if he would like pie for lunch. He agreed, and I put the pies in the oven to cook for 50 minutes.

Baby was still asleep.

I asked Earth Magic Oracle Cards what this unsettledness, today and all this week, meant.

Dreamtime/Creation, Childhood/Innocence, Dawn/New Beginnings

Immediately I got CHAOS CHAOS and NEW YEARS. Literally, the end of the year, the child's joy of holidays, all the creating I've been doing recently. Also a reminder that we are still at the beginnings of things, even though we've been in it for a while, with marriage, child, and parenthood.

Their messages were:
* Allow yourself to take risks with self-expression
* The wisdom and faith that you accrued from your life experience are the key to recapturing state of innocence.
* It is time to say farewell to the old and honour the new by releasing any self-imposed constraints or resistance to the truth that you know.
