It looks like Information, inspiration, communication

is coming in to you regarding or from your Clan.

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

Clan is a funny thing. It can be the family of your blood. The family of your profession. The family of your interests. The family of your heart.

I have a family of blood, of course. One I keep contact with *G*. And I had a very interesting (and unexpected) meditation communication with one member.  It was cool, when I finished questioning the possibilities and just allowed it to be.

I have family of the heart, definately. People I have come to consider bosom companions, and with whom i actually discuss things I consider private. Nothing unusual came in to play with them yesterday.

Family of my profession & interests. There was a definite message about both on what kind of teacher (coach) I hope I am, and what kind of teacher I prefer to work with to further my learning. You have to know your stuff. Be able to articulate your stuff. Be able to use different approaches if I'm not getting it. Critic, but do not express judgment - either of me, or of yourself in how well you're doing at teaching. (At least during the class. When we've gone our separate ways, express judgment all you want.)

I have received one other message - I prefer to be with, learn from, people who celebrate their activities, feel the passion, "do it because they love it". For them, I am happy to return energy in the form of cash, or time, or service.

I hope you have a great day!

Today is about what you can do for yourself. It’s not about the clan or family, regardless of how you love them.

Do it for yourself.

Does make me wonder who I think will "interfere" today.

Hello!  And welcome back.  This rune, for me, spanned the whole of the week I have been otherwise occupied.  So let's talk about "family time".

First, examine the perception of family time.  I see a group of people gathered around the table, eating, laughing, talking...  or drinking, talking, crying, laughing.  I see the group expanding and contracting, breaking into little groups and coming back together again.  I see events, and plans, and people doing things together.

I had a family event - kind of a family vacation - this last week.  It adapted and grew in the planning to become a working vacation, retreat, family event.  

In the retreat/ working vacation, I did some stuff for me, and some stuff because I thought it could be for me, and some stuff for my clan.  Sometimes the question was not "Do I want to?", it was, "do I really not want to?"  Compromise.  I think it went well, for that part finished with the feeling of accomplishment and purpose.  There are places where, looking back, I can see that exerting myself could have been helpful for the clan as a whole.  I hope to remember this next time.

The family event also finished with purpose, though the original feeling of accomplishment was missing.   There was gathering and eating.  There was some expanding and contracting.  There was even some doing things together.  Yes for the laughter and yes for a few tears.  But the  purpose, the connecting of family in depth does feel lacking.

I realize, as I write this, I have a lot more practice flowing in my truth with my clan than with my family. 

There is a feeling of accomplishment now, however, a few days later.  Because I did practice some.  And I recognize some of the places I could improve, be firm but fair so I can receive what I need and allow others to be themselves also.

Breathe. Step. Breathe. Step. We’ll get there.

I hope you have a great day!

1414 - Wunjo on it's side (yes, really)

Today you may have something to celebrate.  Do you wish to share with your clan?  Or keep it close a little while longer?


Well, over the last few days (I think it's been 3?) I have had events, feelings about which to communicate.  And some I did share with my vast clan (ie- Facebook); some I "shared" with my close clan.  And some I shared with just my person.

Part of the decision, for me, over what to share, had to do with personal goals.  Talking about things is good, because there is something purging about speaking things out loud.  And sometimes, discussing things helps put it into a shape, a possibility, it cannot achieve inside my head.   But talking about something also seems to diminish its impact on myself. I keep it's importance by keeping it a secret.

I also find I have jealousy or possession issues.  I don't want to compare and contrast my feelings with another person...  their feelings are just as valid as mine, but I want to feel unique and alone, sometimes, for a while.  My feelings.  My celebration.  My trauma.  Mine, mine, mine.

I've also found it is more and more difficult to describe the feelings.  The usual words... happy, sad, excited, scared, driven...  they are small words compared to what I feel.  I now understand why some cultures reportedly have a thousand words for snow.  I need a word for that calm moment of rejection when it's actually not only okay, but expected and I know it's the best thing for everyone concerned but I still feel a little sad but mostly I am greatly excited about the future.

So, yes, I have been on the fence about a lot of communication & communal celebrations these last few days.  Have you?
