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....

Venus Meditations

  Today I am thankful for my new realization.  In my world, Friday is the day of love (reminds of The Cure - lol).  It's true.  Friday is the day of Venus.  Exhausted as I was after work, I went to my altar and lit a candle asking that my friend find whatever his life is lacking. Then I went upstairs and did my Friday night ritual to Aphrodite.  I lit a candle asking that I gain confidence in my ability to love.  I also ask that I recognize true love.  I was too exhausted to linger so I tried to fall asleep.  Have you been too tired to sleep?  It's horrible.  Your mind goes round and round -  you might recall things that happened recently (like the doctor telling me to be careful because I haven't hit menopause yet and I say, "not worried about it" while thinking that it's a good time to be in a sexual drought - hooray for me),  or things going on at work  (that I can hypnotize little cranky babies to sleep without sa...

Time and Trauma

  Today I am thankful for stories; they are often the easiest teaching tool.  The other day I had an interesting conversation with a social worker.  She complained that one of her patients was stuck at a certain year -  let's say... 2008.  This man talks about 2008 constantly.  He shares photos of 2008 and letters of 2008.  I asked her, what happened that year?  Well, three members of his family died.  His best friend died in front of his eyes.  His spouse died.  He lost his home.   The man was wealthy.   Sadly, the evil eye is real.  Covetousness is real.  The U.S. justice system enables abusive lawyers to swoop in and take control of the wealth of well-to-do elders.  There were fights over his assets**.   The lawyers threw him out of his numerous homes.  The man was then homeless while everything went through probate and the relatives fought over the estate.   His wealth ...
