My Spanish Tutor

Today I am thankful for fantasies that almost come true.
 
This morning, I ran around town looking for a power cord to a speaker that I use for office music.  It wasn't as hard as I thought to find it.  I just wasn't looking in the right place.
 
I also needed to buy a bookshelf.  I'm migrating my hypnosis books to my office and needed a place to put everything.  I started off at the thrift shops. 
 
I didn't find anything.  I did find a few pairs of brand new designer heels for $1.00.  The cashier was pissed off that I got them so cheap. 
 
No one wants to wear black 4" heels in the summer.  Where I live, it snows too much to wear them in the winter.
 
I just cleaned them, deodorized them and cut off the tags. 
 
As I was looking around for shelving, I ran into a little boy.  He must have been 19 months old.  He could not speak English.
 
He spoke Spanish.
 
I could say Hola.  I could ask where his mother was.  I could call him handsome.
 
I realized at that moment that I needed to learn Spanish so that I could actually comfort the next little lost Spanish boy who found me.
 
I set the intention yesterday morning to learn Spanish.
 
I thought I had more time.

I found a brand new bookshelf at Target that matched by desk for $17. 
 
I just had to put it together.
 
I took it to work and spent two hours putting it together after I saw my last client.  I didn't have a hammer and used a river rock to nail it together.
 
It looks pretty good. 
 
When I finished the janitor came in to vacuum.
 
He is the man who kept me company on New Year's Eve.
 
He didn't speak English on New Year's. 
 
He's been practicing. 
 
He wants me to teach him English.
 
He wants to teach me Spanish.

He wants to spend a few hours teaching me to say buenos dias. 
 
Oh my.....
 
Sometimes I wonder if the means to change one's life is simply setting the intention. 
 
The funny thing is that I always wanted to date a man who couldn't speak English.  We'd have to rely on other forms of communication.
 
Alas...I can't date.  I'll find a way to help my new friend.  He's too young for me anyway -but- I would want for him to have more than a life of hard work cleaning office buildings. 
 
Set your intentions.....they'll come true for you. 
 
Love ya,
 
S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...

Temporary Ending

Dear Readers: Over the past three weeks, I attended both a city councilperson's town hall and the mayoral town hall. Despite battling the flu, I dedicated two days to watching all available city council meetings and study sessions on YouTube in between bouts of cold chills. What I observed was a troubling pattern of disregard for honesty and disrespect towards citizens, the rule of law, and the influence of partisan politics. It has become evident that certain issues transcend the scope of a mere community art project. This realization prompted me to raise my voice, a departure from my usual composed demeanor. After discussing the situation with my family, we collectively decided to remain in Aurora. It is clear that true leadership entails making tough decisions rather than simply following personal desires. I look forward to the opportunity to address these concerns further in a different forum. Warm regards, S.  P.S. There will be a new website.
