What is it that's not moving forward? Do you want it to be moving? Perhaps today's a good day to focus on that.

Alternatively, it might just be a day of little movement in any department. It may be a good day to not try and push forward.

************************************************

Today was not about transportation, for me, or not as i expected. My car had her 3 month treatment with no issues. And we did actually leave the house today.

And, after checking my to do list, I found I had made progress on everything I wanted to. I confirmed a singing lesson, received an email regarding writers' group, and purchased tickets for Beltania. All forward movement.

Even the one place that hasn't really shown public connection (happiness guide / coach) had some movement today. But that was the most difficult type of movement. So, perhaps, for me, today's movement focus was about what type of movement or, even better, vehicle of movement. Um, in what forms, attitude, am I able to move comfortably? Something... let's move (ha, ha) into the metaphor portion.

Much of my inner focus these days has been on accepting my body type. Which is round. (I am almost able to say it without that weird determined voice.) Even when I was at my "ideal weight for my height" (for approx 30 seconds the 1st week of college) I was round. Round face. Round fingers. Round calves. Round thighs. Round hair. Lots of it. (yay!) 

Yet, I've never thought of myself as round, perhaps because many of my role models and colleagues, heck, family, were more rectangle than round. (And this discovery is a subject for another post (or set of them.)).  I was dressing, expecting to see, and even dancing, walking, sitting as if I was rectangle instead of round, because that was what I saw. Retraining my habits has been very interesting.

For coaching, I have been having similair issues - trying to put on the hat or shoes of "THE GUIDE", and then stumbling around for awhile until I managed to find what fit me. 

For example, when I am wish to offer counsel, but I'm not sure what to say, I slip on the guide boots. (they're brown, leather, very good for hiking through forests.) "I am a happiness guide" (can you see the self important head wiggle?). "Let me lead you out of the slough of despair." I step forward confidently, trip, and fall on my face.

Next! Heels (cuz I am a woman.)? Loafers? Army boots! 

I continue to try on different shoes (metaphysically) until I find my footing - which usually ends us as my comfy slippers, in which I am able be me, which is where all my truths lie, anyway.

In short, one can't move easily when one is trying to be a thing, or act like someone else. One can only move forward as oneself.

The army boots are kind of fun, though. I do keep a virtual pair in my closet, next to the bazooka. For when gentle words don't really get anything moving. *G*

I hope you had a great day!

Want to go, go, go?  Wait a moment.  Is it the desire for movement, or the readiness to take the next step which compels you?

*******************
This was actually a very humorous reading, because I had plans, before I did the reading, to go on-site for a client.  Nothing scheduled, but I didn't have a lot of hours logged in the previous week, and I had some filing I wanted to get done.  Even as I read these runes, even as I taped and typed, I thought, yes, but, I really need to go.  This reading doesn't apply to me.  This filing needs to be done!

I got all the way to the garage.  And I took a deep breath, and listened to myself, and myself said, "Don't go."

So I didn't.  I stomped back to the house, berating all the way.  Was I afraid to go to the office?  Did I not want to drive?  Was I being lazy?  Am I a freak?  (well, yes.  But my preferred term is fey.)

First, I really had to go to the bathroom.  So, I was grateful I hadn't been driving when that urge overwhelmed me.

But second, it turns out I wasn't necessarily afraid of something, I was avoiding it.  I was trying to use the busy work of filing to avoid the harder work of year's end processing.  I suppose I hoped if I didn't look at it, it would do itself.  Seriously, where are the accounting elves?  I have plenty of milk and, well, no cookies, but, um, popcorn!  I have popcorn!

So, I did buckle down and get the "right" work done.  (And I did reward myself with popcorn.)  But it's interesting how I was trying so hard to keep the landscape about something else.  Makes me wonder how many other things I've avoided by being virtuously productive?

Meanwhile, there have been other quick readings, but the one below is the one I did this morning.

Is the energy you're putting out there what you want to put out there?  Is your influence in line with your truths?


I hope you have a great day!

There may not be forward movement today, but that doesn't mean take a day off.  Keep engaged in your goals.  Housekeeping is productive too.

Hello.  Since the reading 12014 was basically "go forth and keep doing", I didn't feel there was much interpretive comparison to discuss.  So, we're starting with yesterday's reading, posted above.

This reading kept me going, at least into the evening.  And it was difficult; yesterday was a cranky day, and not just for me.  But moving, doing, putting one foot in front of the other, helped me feel pretty proud today.

In fact, I would say perhaps the reading wasn't totally accurate.  Because I kept working, moving, and literally doing housework, I actually garnered some energy and made some progress on my next "Meandering" blog.  So, to me, there was movement -- though I imagine one could argue whether the revision of a written piece is actually movement, or if the only movement comes from the posting/ publishing.  Shrug.  My perspective says it doesn't matter.  Energy put in is what's important.

Why is this happening?  Maybe you're the energetic bridge between two disparate worlds.  Is this a happy thing, in your truth, or a frustrating one?  You choose - to continue, or to cut it off.

I hope you have a great day!
