Root Chakra

I am one who is blooming into the person I want to be. I am one who is looking to open her root chakra.

I am learning to take care of myself. Knowing when to say no and limit my activities so I can have the energy to do the things I want and need to do. Resting when I am tired is important. I am not sleeping well and need to make sure I get my naps in when possible.

Vacation Readings

From 8/2
I am one who is looking for the bright core. I am one who is strong & brilliant. I am one who is blooming into a strong intelligent woman.

Sometimes I feel that I am not very bright. But then I realize that my brilliance is in finding unique solutions to problems. I shouldn't wast my time on "sounding" intelligent. I just need to use my intellect in a way that works for me.







From 8/3
I am one who is looking for excitement. Who is looking for a challenge.

I realized that with Rod not able to do lots because of his knee and a cold, that I really don't want a "do nothing" vacation. If we could stay in the condo and do different things than we do at home, that would be fine. I really don't want to watch TV or read all day!









From 8/5
I am one who feels helpless. I am one who sees the destruction and has no idea how or if to help.

My upbringing makes me want to fix everything. And when I don't help or enable it feels so worn. I just want to fix the world. I am looking for the balance of observing and helping.








From 8/6
I am one who is seeking a peaceful place. I am one who is at home near the water. Who loves to listen to the sounds of waterfalls and running streams.

I realized that the sound of water is what relaxes me more than anything. I am going to miss the sound of the ocean when we leave today!









From 8/8

I am one who is ancient. I am one who looks a little worse for wear. Who has been around the block a few times.

I am not one to have the wool pulled over my eyes. I have knowledge and experience and won't let others walk all over me. I will sand up for what is right for me and my family.







From 8/10
I am one who is hiding from my needs. Who is afraid to ask for help. Who is hungry and afraid.

This child is me. Covering myself in a protective layer. Seeming to be begging crumbs from those around me. I don't feel good enough to ask, juts sit there and look pitiful and maybe someone will give me what I need. Affection, time to chat, companionship.







From 8/11
I am one who is happy surrounded with color. Bright blue skies, green trees and colorful flowers.

There have been times this trip I have thought Oregon would be a cool place to live. But I would mess the bright skies of the south. S.A.D. here I come!








From 8/13
I am one who likes quiet time in nature. I am one who loves to listen to the sounds of nature.

If I can't find some water to be near for peace and quiet-nature is the next best thing. Last night's picnic at Champoeg State Park was great!

Turning away

I am one of the ages. I am one who is turning away from the old ways. I am one who is looking in a new direction.

After spending a week of sorting through the pieces of my father's life by clearing out his house, I realized that most of what is in my house is useless and unimportant to anyone but me. I really don't want my kids to have to do what I just did.

I really need to simplify my life by divesting myself of useless items. Move on to simplicity and focus on what is important. Family, health and well being.

Life Mate

I am one who is mated for life. I am one who is one half of a whole heart. I am one who is supported by my mate.

Quite honestly, the last couple of months would have been unbearable without my husband. He has been there for whatever I have needed. Support, space, a shoulder to cry on. Can't imagine my life without him!

Step out of the darkness

I am one who is bursting forth with light. I am one who is stepping out of the darkness. I am one who is aware that this path could take me anywhere, even back into the dark.

My father passed away a month ago and I just got home after clearing out his home of his worldly possessions. I do feel like I am literally stepping into the light after months of the end of life process. Not sure where all this will lead me, but I am ready to move towards the light.

Road to Freedom

I am one who is one a perilous road to freedom. I am one who is aware that every step I take is important. I am one who even though my burden is heavy and awkward, knows that it is mine to carry and will do my best to continue on the journey set before me.

Today I will have a vp shunt installed inside my head. It has been a long journey to this juncture, but I am certain I am on the right path. It could be quite a journey to recovery, but it could also be the path to freedom. Freedom from headache, tinnitus, vision problems and cognitive issues. They don't call my condition pseudo tumor for nothing!

Nature

I am one who holds nature in her hand. I am one with the ability to view her her space objectively. I am one who looks to the natural world for peace.

I am waiting for the oak pollen to subside so I can spend some time in nature. Right now if I go out I can't catch my breath. I was accidentally poisoned by Easter Lilies and haven't been the same since. The weather is beautiful and I can't wait to spend some time outdoors.
