This is written with me believing it's still dark outside and Monday morning.
I'll write this as it's kinda "in the works" so to speak. Me and Nosey snuggle in the warm covers for a bit and I see the Time Warner digital time says 6:02. When I actually get up the clock mysteriously says 10:16. Then Nosey does his business in the frigid wind outside, we come back up and I make coffe, sit here to write to my aunt. I see the time on my computer clock says 10:? and the digital readout says the same, yet (now here's the ?!?) my battery operated wall clock now says 11:19! What's happening?
Here's what I do know. Yesterday was an awesome day all around. After not being able to "deal with it" in the previous 24 hours, yesterday afternoon, I'm finally able to write back to my father and his great wife concerning my visit with my Nosey. Oh my goodness; I will call my father's home right now just to make sure all is well.
Live action: my father answer's quite cheerily (which surprises me because of "the dog issue" and I realize he's fine and quickly tell why I'm calling ; he says he doesn't know what I'm talking about and I ask if he wants me to explain. "Yes, if you can be quick." So I tell it as I did above. He says it is 11 something there too. Quite irritated (believing he's being senile and thinking he must think it's 11 a.m.) I say, "Well Dad it's dark out!", he says, "It's dark out here too (and then something like where are you?)."
I'm believing he thinks it's 11 a.m. and it's dark, and I'm irritated and say we're all on the east coast, what's going on bla, bla. I ask what he's doing up so early and he says they're watching a movie, it's night, or whatever. I'm in absolute shock at the entire scenario. I tell him it's a good thing I hadn't started cooking the beans soaking overnight. He's laughing, telling me not to worry; we all have these moments......
So here I am, writing this and realizing how I've really "you know what". My dogs been fed, I've had a couple cups of coffee already, and everything happens for some reason. Is the reason to see that I origionally saw the time say 6:03 because I saw what I expected? Did I feel so rested because I had such a satisfying day? Did I have this call with my father so we'd laugh about it with genuine love in our hearts?
I better try to get some sleep because we're off to the nursing home - rehabilitation facility in about 7-8 hours, and I will be dragging if I don't. All I can say at this point is, "Oh crap." and I do feel heavy eye lids now at this point, but I want another cup of coffee and now it seems fruitile and I've really screwed my expected day. Oh well; this is MY life ~ I'm smiling for real.

Life 101 on Day 256
I will one day, maybe the start of 2014, begin to bring clarity to what I write with more real-life examples as they happen. At this moment in time, I'm absolutely overwhelmed with all I'm doing my best to accomplish, which are simply ordinary life type things as I mentioned yesterday. I feel as if it's the climax of the story I began putting "on paper" 8 years ago.
Magic-in-life is something people don't quite see as real-life happening. I recently wrote about knowing, inside myself, I had to find a direction to what I write. The last week has confirmed, and also by the "head" of the shelter I work with, as more than mere coincidence; we agree it's magic.
This is the the sort of magic I could "see" begin to happen in 2003. Yet this time it involves just me, myself, and I. And of course my Nosey was given back where he belongs AND the magic-of-life is confirmed in a story that others agree is more than coincidence.
So magic-in-life is now what I choose to always use rather than my forever flip-flopping between God, the universe, nature, the great mystery, blessings, miracles... I owe, this awakening within me, to my son. Last Sunday he told me how he prefers to call all these things life. As of this morning, magic-in-life is what I shall use.
My life's quest is to open anybody's awareness of magic-in-life, because it's in all our lives. I began writing the steps in my own conversion from zero faith for 33 years, to awareness (brought on by a life or death car accident, a couple years to heal, another 12 years of education on life with an awesome teacher, a further awakening to snap me from our semi-consciousness, to being ready to finish a book that didn't have a climax.
Realizing magic-in-life opens windows to personal empowerment that can energize and enthuse even the most content not-to-wonder, laid-back, or stubborn-case of a human. And I believe these die-hard, believe in nothing besides they're a body with personality and abilities may begin to question life as they've always known it.
This is it for awhile, and I will continue to accept correspondence and questions. And knowing me I will also write here before I begin working on my book between work at the shelter, work with nursing home residents, Hospice, working with my dog for certification, and on and on. But this is life; yea?

Life 101 on Day 255 ~
Just one thing, and as quickly as I can.
The secret of The Secret, they never mention, is that NONE of us can do anything, no matter how wonderful we think, if "the timing" isn't just right in our Individual Lives. Timing is where the magic of life manifests. We can only do the best we can with pure intentions, and if we still have things to learn about ourselves ~ the timing is just not right.
I've had a birthday, a death, family bonding and love to deal with. Enjoy the beginnings of "the holidays".

Life 101 Day 251 ~
Perhaps I shouldn't have asked for more communication ~ ha ha Actually I think the interest is great, and I'll make time to write more. Yes, the influence of the energy, within at least our solar system, is absolutely a factor in why the woman (who dreamed of dusting) could have been feeling off kilter.
Although my knowledge of the energy centers in all our bodies (chakras), and astrology is fairly minimal, I understand enough to understand this energy I'm always talking about is everywhere, and unavoidable. Our body's spinal cord is "connected" with this energy as are all our organs. I would do you a disservice to even attempt to try to explain chakras; it is extremely involved.
So many people believe astrology is a superstitious guide; which it is when people are seeking material effects. Astrology is very ancient with vast mathematical and philosophical significance. It is not a "light" subject. Yet the awareness I speak about is how ordinary, everyday people, like me, can positively rise to the influence of the affects we cannot see.
So yes, the answer is that the planets (astrology) do play an unseen role in the life we live here on earth. Whether you believe or not, all of this affects your existence. The awareness of what you can begin to pay attention to will possibly open your mind to possibilities you never imagined you had.
Yet the secret is that we're not in total control. We can do everything in our power to live "perfect" (which is a human impossibility) and still not achieve all we desire. It is the mysterious something we'll probably never know from this earthly body. Sounds pretty silly if you're not a believer in anything other than you're this person (a body) with personality, abilities, morals, ethics...
I'll say it again and again; we're more than that, and you're gonna make your life-experience harder than it needs to be if you continue to resist what is.
And something I constantly need to remind myself: try to be aware and literally smile when I feel the adverse affects of life. We all have to do our best to be fully-conscious of the moments in the here and now with a smile at least in our hearts. Corny ~ maybe. True ~ absolutely.

Life 101 Day 250 ~
Awareness into the mechanics of life gives us an edge to increasing happiness because we realize the individual power we each have. The most basic starts with our attitude. As adults, no one or nothing controls our attitude except us! So many people choose to blame this or that, and until they wake-up they will remain victims of themselves only. And who wants to hear that?
Who wants to be on their death bed and have major regrets about what they didn't do or what they let control them? You won't fear death because you'll know you've lived with awareness of the law-of-attraction and you chose to ignore it or embrace it. Plain and simple. We each do the best we can and hopefully ignore the rest. Always easier said than done!
A reader became curious about a dream about dusting a huge home with lots of furniture. I asked if she'd been feeling "down in the dumps" and she said yes, very much so lately. I asked if she was able to clean all the dust away and she also said yes. I assured her her negative attitude was temporary and she could look forward to getting her life back on tract and she understood how her subconscious was communicating during sleep.
Can you agree it was communicating hope if she took action? The action was simply continuing to do: dust in this case. Our hopes and our fears are played out for us to see through our dreams. Try not to interpret them with fear, because you'd only making life harder for yourself. Are you your worst enemy or are you your best friend? Think about it.
~ It's not about dusting at all see?
Let's look at another way the dream could have been. Her answer could have been that no she did not clean all the dust away. What would that have been trying to tell her? Just face what you're resisting with action of some sort; this will ease your inner angst. That something may not be simple. Maybe just because it's not what you want to do. In that case try asking yourself why, and face the resistance. It's the only way to move ahead for what's right.
Deep down you know what's for the highest good for all involved. Follow your gut feelings without your ego puffing itself up even the slightest. This is not your heart-intelligence; this is your mind and our mind justifies and rationalizes to suit it's individual self. So try to understand this not heart-intelligence. You, your deep-inside-you, knows the truth when it feels it.

Life 101 on Day 246 ~
Also agreed, a short re-cap of what it is we can become aware of to make life fascinating will be helpful at this time. The law-of-attraction pretty well covers so much I'd like to begin with that. One must trust and accept it is an earthly, natural, unavoidable law like the law-of-gravity, yet one science can't easily verify and prove the way science does.
Yet with an honest, non-judgmental, open-heart we can, and should, begin with our-self. If you're not one that can face themselves, almost as if you're a-third-party, you may resist. And facing that resistance is the first step. The first is always the worst isn't it? You will begin to observe clear aspects of "you" reflected back in more and more encounters.
To see something good, you've got to possess that or you wouldn't recognize it or attract it. When it's something we do no like, it's an aspect we still posses and our spirit knows we want to work on, or it's something we've begun to work-out within our-self. It can be as innocent as a judgmental attitude, that really isn't so innocent.
You will begin to recognize more & more. We magically, energetically, attract everything to confirm or learn. Our subconscious mind begins to send more to our conscious awareness. And soon we stop attracting that which we do not need to face any longer. Life is a schoolhouse. And our earthly body is a player in the game. Believe it or not; we DO attract, with our complicated and unfathomable energy-system within our human body.
~ We humans have FAR more control over our bodies, yet mankind can't get together in figuring it out, and moving forward as one species. We are animals, and we still behave like animals with superior abilities, yet animals that can think as individuals. Thinking as individuals has dominated and ruled human evolution into submission of the masses.
I've obviously gotten off one track and on to another. I best stop now, and figure out where I'm to go next.

Life 101 on Day 245 ~
You're absolutely right: our mind, along with our heart, is essential in guiding us to make the correct choice to fit within the rules or bounds of the society we live within. My heart-intelligence alone was leading me down a path of personal desire I wouldn't acknowledge. I'd become thoroughly caught-up, wrapped-up, then-tied up in the emotional experience, alone, rather than staying grounded in the experience in conjunction with the profound awareness of heart-intelligence playing-out in the "now".
~ I hate excuses, yet I rightfully can, and will use this. My brain was altered in a life-or-death car accident. I struggle to stay within mainstream measures of normality, (i.e., processing ordinary information, needing to spend literally hours and hours writing simple things that would take a fraction of the time and energy for another equal).
In the original post labeled as "Day 240", then removed due to a vivid dream, I'd felt compelled to correlate expanded awareness of grounded reality to altered consciousness. That's an entirely separate study, NOT yet accepted by mainstream science, and years and years behind study of heart-intelligence. I'm not intending to even stray onto that path of awareness with y'all. But I was curious if anyone could correspond on that awareness level. I opened a can of worms I shoulda left closed.
Does this explain? I've gotten a few comments I hope I've addressed to help everyone reading this. Not everyone cares to participate in bringing collective awareness to their-self or others; attempting to observe life from a fascinating level is challenging. Personal awareness into the unfathomable reality surrounding us can and does change one's perception of life.
Yet again, I want to get this posted now in case more days fly by before I can continue here. And thank you for your communications.

Life 101 on Day 244 ~
How is any of this "illuminating" to ordinary, everyday people? Facing ourselves can be, and is, the most challenging aspect of being a human being. So many of us, me once included, are content with "our heads in the sand". But if we're not truly happy, we've obviously sacrificed something we're "afraid to face". We must find what that is to really understand ourselves.
Yet so many don't and won't care, but I ain't speaking to "them" ~
Yet without facing ourselves, we won't ever get to where we imagine we'd be fulfilled. Life is as difficult as we choose to make it. Plain and simple, and to want to put the responsibility on anything else is simply a cop-out to our inner self. Yes, that is the spirit of our nature. It is not tangible, yet it's as real as the words on this page.
It is real. I'd worked on a true story that read like fiction once I'd had my full-blown spiritual-transforming begin in '03. I was SO amazed at how this great mystery began to move my spirit to awareness. I felt others had to read it to understand the truth of something greater than our conscious mind that does guide us bla bla. It IS what religions try so desperately to convey. Yet "they" lead so many down a path of "their" interpretation and it messed up mankind's mind to where it's at today.
It
is amazing to realize how much time and life we spend "thinking" or
just living the moments of life in our mind? Feeling the silent wisdom
our "self" or our heart "speaks" to us is a beautiful thing; it guides us
towards our fulfillment and purpose on earth. I've had readers tell me, and very "grounded", how they are beginning to observe the greatest-mystery-in-life "in action", so to speak. Yet they still wonder if it's real.
My "mind" was altered nearly a quarter century ago and opened my awareness to something greater that I'd refused to believe was "real". I was then "shaken awake", after 14+ years of semi-consciousness, with an incredible chain of new events that lead me to where I am now. I even had the disdain to give up on life 5 years ago and my ego survived to rise to the occasion once more.

Life 101 on the Actual Day ~
Whoa, the responses were NOT what I'd expected. I had to remove "that post" (I wrote about seeing if reader could catch the depth of my "seeing into" life). Waaay off base. I understand the inference to an "illegal" herbal substance was caught on to by several "surface thinkers" and I was saddened at my "attraction". "That" is no longer me.
Ironically, it really is day 240, today, and I awoke from a dream about running, flying down and up stairs, even avoiding an aggressive advancing chicken, in order to catch up with a bunch of people I'd been with. I sprang out of bed, this morning, knowing I had to remove that post, continue with the deeper "learning" and get my own, ideal, life back. My 80 y.o. "Christian" neighbor is now the proud mama of my sweet Nosey. He will change her for the better!
I could take space to write my interpretation (which happens to be right on) of the dream, but I won't, because I want to post this before I must leave soon.
Nosey is everything, and more, than I could have written and my son absolutely concurred. I was convinced, AGAIN, my heart was in the right place, yet I hadn't gone deep enough putting-together-reality. I was actually ready to create potential havoc in my life by adopting a dog I know quite well the owners of 1,000 apartments in town, as well as my "village" do NOT allow pit bull breeds. They have asked for DNA tests in the past.
I'd risk my well-being by the actual property owners discovering I was not paying the $300 each year just to have a pet; major ramifications. The "village" manager is okay with me fostering dogs. My son convinced me to follow my belief of "All is Possible" and the "Power of Belief". Nosey could go to a farm with dog brothers for instance. My son told me it would be the hardest decision I ever had to make, and he had compassion; he expressed Nosey's awesome nature.
I spent the remainder of Sunday simply being with my dog ~ in his world. We layed in the sunshine on my moose blanket while he chewed his favorite toy; an antler lasts longer and doesn't quite smell as barn-ish as his 2nd favorite a hoof from the pet store. My dog actually came over and flopped right OVER me as if I was included into the pack. It was all an unparalleled experience.
Honestly, it became SO evident I couldn't handle my life with the added responsibilities of care for my Nosey. He needs to be crate trained and my tiny and cozy place has zero place for a large crate without putting it in the middle of the only clear, say 5' x 6' living floor area. Couldn't happen. I'd loose my ability to leave the 22 hours a week I have/want/need to be gone.
I did rise "to the occasion" of MY life-learning. Honestly,Nosey really shiveres and hates the cold if he is not constantly running. What would he do in the winter? I committed to give him to the shelter at 10 a.m. Monday. Honest to goodness, at 8:30 a.m. yesterday, the perfect woman across the street wanted him! He will have his perfect forever home! She needs him as much as he needs her, and she is a very active older woman! She loves him!
All's well that ends well. NOW if anyone can correspond on the deeper-life that speaks and guides us along in our lives it will be my pleasure.

He needs to be crate trained and my tiny and cozy place has zero place for a large crate without putting it in the middle of the only clear, say 5' x 6' living floor area. Couldn't happen. I'd loose my ability to leave the 22 hours a week I have/want/need to be gone.
I did rise "to the occasion" of MY life-learning. Honestly,Nosey really shiveres and hates the cold if he is not constantly running. What would he do in the winter? I committed to give him to the shelter at 10 a.m. Monday. Honest to goodness, at 8:30 a.m. yesterday, the perfect woman across the street wanted him! He will have his perfect forever home! She needs him as much as he needs her, and she is a very active older woman! She loves him!
All's well that ends well. NOW if anyone can correspond on the deeper-life that speaks and guides us along in our lives it will be my pleasure.

Life 101 on Day 235 ~
It's all I can do these days just to keep my head above water, so to speak. I'm seriously contemplating a path to write on. I'm working with a runaway "pup" I call Nosey. He's as close as I will come to his distant relatives, the wolves; and it all works.
I'll be back with more words of wisdom to help us all face our-selves, who we are, and how to become more aware.
I'll be participating in a Gratitude challenge (beginning 7 Nov), which you may wish to check out:
