At the risk of sounding all over-the-top religious-y on you, I had a huge moment of Faith Crises today. The Challenge has yet to play out and the Universe hasn’t actually handed me the answer on any sort of proverbial silver platter, but I do feel hopeful. Basically, we got some news that shattered the start of our day (details unimportant, just play along here, no one died). Then I went in and turned over our Daily Draw. I was renewed. Briefly.
“Problem Resolved ~
An issue that’s been bothering you is being healed behind the scenes. The solution is creative, ingenious, and is a joyous surprise for you.
You are on the cusp of experiencing welcome relief from a problem that has been bothering you. The fairies want you to know that you have reason to smile, as Heaven is working on a solution that is so creative that you will chuckle with delight at the Universe’s sense of humor. Basically, it is a win-win for everyone.
You will soon be receiving good news, such as the healing of a strained relationship, or an unexpected financial resource, a resolved health issue, a happy addition to your home, a new career opportunity, or a romantic proposal. Please don’t strain to figure out ‘how’ this situation will be achieved, or in what form it will manifest. Instead, let yourself enjoy the feeling of excitement and gratitude as you allow the help to arrive and the answer to manifest.
Affirmation: I ask that all effects of mistakes and misunderstanding be undone, both in the past and in the present.”
To begin with, I don’t personally believe in “mistakes” any more than I believe in “coincidences” in our lives. As a general rule I have complete faith that we are all doing what we need to be doing and shit all falls in to place when it is supposed to. When we receive a blow to our day-to-day reality though, it does sort of shake the foundations a bit.
I sat with our information earlier today and I listened. I questioned the direction we were being shoved into, and I heard MY version of a reassuring voice “let go, let us show you.” It was like being kicked out of a plane and having the pilot holler out the door AFTER I was plummeting to my death “here, catch this parachute.” Not as helpful as one might think. But as I went about the rest of my afternoon I did begin to let go, and I did begin to feel as though we were not being let loose without a safety net. Right now we just can’t SEE the net, but I do absolutely, positively, and totally believe that there is a freaking net down there.
In Shameless Plug updates, here is one of the most recent pieces that Hanna has written for her new gig. (Adult Advisory in place though.) And speaking of my daughters, birth or otherwise, Whitney has been busy re-working her little corner(s) of the internets.
I have updated the info boxes (over <—– there) so we are all current with what’s happening on a celestial level. I also took a new picture of our View, and have included today’s post under the BackStory tab, so now we have a current Summer shot.
And simply because this makes me happy, I also wanted you to see my outrageous honeysuckles, that are coming up from the ground, an entire floor below this deck. And how I am creatively stringing and training the vines along, in hopes of making a very fragrant curtain of natural beauty.
Lastly, over the years, as you all know, I have struggled with my learning disabilities. Just a few weeks ago I stumbled upon a way to remember how to spell something that used to chronically be a problem. Pieces. I realized that it looks like (in my wee smooth brain) Pie. Pieces of Pie. Pie – (pieces) - ces- is how I see it, so now, hysterically enough, at just short of 50 damn years old, I know how to spell: pieces.
FGBV’s Julie!
I sure hope the Universe has the problem in hand (mine too). Email if you need a sounding board.
We’ll know tomorrow. Thank you, and back attcha!
Thanks for the plugs, Julie! Gonna try and blog more. (Easier now that I’m pretty much free during the day.)
I called Em today, after our text convo. Very brief conversation, but thanks for letting me know.
I’m so glad you figure out that spelling trick! It was totally how my mom taught my brother and I to spell (especially useful for those weekly elementary school spelling tests) and to this day I still think of “hear” as “h-ear” (because you hear with your ear.)
Most welcome Sweetie! Ha, h-ear, your (actual) mother is so freaking brilliant!
Julie – sorry about your negative news. Remember my message of last week, though. Something that seems insurmountable may dissolve into easy to resolve ‘pieces’.
In fact, here’s an even better vision of such an occurence.
I very much loved my second husband. Our break up, though ultimately good for both of us, was extremely painful in the beginning. I suffered for a long time and had a great deal of trouble letting go. (Even though in the end it was my choice to do so, not his.)
I was at a little gathering of witches and we were meditating. I had this vision in my meditation. (This looks better if you know that he is one of those men who never walks out the door without looking like the cover of GQ.) Anyway, there was a litter box and I had a giant litter scooper. I dipped it in the litter box and came up with husband number two. He was laying across the scooper, on one side, up on his elbow, posed. We blinked at each other for a few minutes and then he turned into sand and drifted through the slots of the scooper into the litter.
Get it? He was a problematic piece of shit in my life, then he was nothing. (Actually he’s a friend now, but you get the symbolism.)
I hope the same thing happens with your negative news.
Now THAT is an awesomely insightful bit of wisdom! Thank you so so much. What a Magickal Atheist you are.
Ah, Spelling. My fav. NOT. For my 18th birthday, Mom gave me “The Bad Speller’s Dictionary” because how do you look the freakin’ word up if you can’t spell it?!!?
I hope that what’s going on resolves in a positive manner.
Thank you.
Obviously, we all have your back and are sending our best wishes to you and everyone who needs them.
Lovely card. I will believe as hard as I can, because I need this so much.
I have to admit: I’m a good speller. As a kid, it just came naturally. These days, my memory seems a bit fuzzy on spelling, so I am glad for all the spell check programs. I think it’s just my mind (and my fingers) being lazy.
Be well, my dear.
We DO believe we DO believe we DO believe.
I’m a good speller too. But spellcheck messes with me. Auto-everything prevents me from flexing my spelling muscles so I make more errors now. When I want to “flow” with writing, I turn off spelling and grammar notifications.
Yay for summer-y deck pics. And super big yay for card. NEED that.
I got those pictures between cloud bursts, it’s raining again now…
I hope, with all my heart, your safety net is strong and soon becomes visible.

We appreciate that very much, and hope so too.
Will add my faith and work behind the scenes on your safety net, can’t hurt, hope all will be well. Love the summer shot, summer has been so illusive this year. We finally took the covers off the outdoor furniture and ate outside. I love your honeysuckle photo. It smells divine.
Thank you.
(Yes, they DO smell divine.
)
I sincerely hope that card is what I want it to be. It would make things just that much easier for me!
I hope so too, for all of us.
I have a feeling my net is going to have a hole in it when the tower falls. Things suck royally at work.
Hope everything works out for you and yours Julie. Extra dose of FGBV’s headed your way.
Oh shit, it’s that Nightmare isn’t it? Damn!
Thank you, and sending you the same to help as well.
Yup. I’ll email you tomorrow after I find out more.
Thanks for the thoughts
