Another thing to practice now, before the rush hits. 

Nurturing.

If you practice nurturing for yourself - the tough love AND the compassion - it will be easy to do later, when you're in the middle of the project or dream manifestation.

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

It was a slow process getting myself out of bed this morning. Oh, so slow. If you've tried to move a cat from your lap when it's very comfortable, you can imagine my waking process. (and yes, there might have been some hissing and clawing. The drooling happened when I was asleep, so I take no responsibility for that).

Because I knew it was a nurture day, and that Mother Love can be a tricky thing, I paid special attention to something inner - trying to see if I was being a slave driving bitch, or simply firm in my compassion. And oh, the most interesting thing!

My usual morning routine was very plodding. But doable. (and it's a good thing I actually write the word Breakfast on my to do list for the day, or I might forget to eat it.) Stretching helped. Morning meditation helped. Seeing little birds helped.

But the thing which energized me the most and propelled me completely out of the fog of morning sleep was my singing practice.

!!!

I never even had any caffeine this morning! and there was a cup of Irish Breakfast Tea waiting. and waiting. (I forgot to drink it, at first, and then I didn't need it.)

by the time I was through my warm up exercises, my mind was engaged. When I was finished with the first song, my body was no longer feeling weighted. And when the timer beeped, I was ready to move onto the next step in the day. I barely remembered I'd felt like a reluctant blob. And that was the best nurturing I have ever done for myself! To bring myself fully conscious in such an easy and effortless way, which also ticked something off my to do list. 

It's better than food, which is an easy nurture item, but also easy to misuse. Perhaps it's not as awesome as lying in the grass, but that's not a current nurturing tool for me.

Hmm. maybe I might work out how to make it one, again.

see, the day isn't over 'til it's over. And of course, there's hope I'll get into bed in a timely fashion (before the words blur. Another fine line between slave driving and compassion.) and the Nurturing goes on!

I hope you had a great one!

A day to connect with the family of your heart and share the latest news. 

**********************************************
Well, okay.  I took this reading as a directive and wrote emails, checking in with people, and making sure others knew about my future plans.  

Interestingly enough, I received an email from my a young person who doesn't do a lot of emailing.  It was about homework.

And reached out and went to see a movie with another heart friend.  That could be a celebration.

shrug.

Feeling a little isolated?  Take those moments.  Feeling frazzled?  Step aside & claim some moments.  Use this time to be calm and happy with yourself.  Heal.

I hope you have a great day!

A day to remember the family of your heart, those you have had, and those you hope to have.

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

And oh, what a day of family.  I connected with various forms of family in all ways: text, talk, email, social media, and, of course, memory.

It seems that for many, the over all theme of this time of change is finding one's... tribe, clan, support group, band, pack, herd, church, community... whatever name you use for those with whom you share a vibration, a language.

I have tribe members in the corporate world, in the art world, in retail and in entertainment.  Front room and back of house, penthouse floozy *G* and basement gnome.  We all have different jobs, different life pursuits, different jargon and even different views about the way the world should operate.  But, we speak the same language.  There is a universal translator working between us.

It is true, not all of the members' of my hearts' family are members of my tribe.  We don't always communicate well.  It is also true there are many who have come and gone from my family; and many who have stayed while I came and went from their lives.  Family is not constant because we change and grow, and our vibrations change with us. 

So, let us take a moment here, on the night before All Hallow's, and think about all those families, all those tribes we've been a part of.  Schools and classrooms and clicks.  Best friends and sort of friends and worst enemies.  boyfriends and girlfriends, choir and theater and band, clubs and teams.  Through jobs and meetings and family events; store sales and adult groups and dance clubs.  To all those connections, we give a moment's thought.

Tomorrow being Samhain, I am taking the day off.  But I will be scheduling my rune reading for November to post tomorrow, so here's hoping it works!  (something new.  Yay!)

And Friday I may or may not be able to sit and post...  So, if not sooner, gentle beings, I expect to type at you on Saturday.  So I hope you have a great Holiday, also!  L
