My 20 Valentines

It's Valentine's Day tomorrow and so forgive me for being uber "cooorny" right now. Just that...stumbled on a local Nescafe advertisement that really brings back a particular loverly youthful carefree memory...

I was 20 and so was he...

Course' I didn't look anything like this girl back then.I was really skinny to start with. I was in torn faded jeans and had on a shirt that boldly screamed "Nike". Doubt if I looked anything sexy' but we had bikes..ye'....

I remember biking in the rain...near the bay. I bet I looked freaky ha! ha!. When he reminds me I cringe...embarrassed you could say. Oh' but then how many sweethearts get to really silly run through a downpour huh?. Those were our "who gives a damn days".I think somehow..it still is.

How many valentines have we had since then eh?...So..

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to everyone. This day isn't just for lovers splish splashing.It's an intimate wonderful celebration of being One..being brothers and sisters....being human...and being divine as well. And this Love transcends all borders and boundaries..cultural..religious..language...whatever...

Everybody wants love..Everybody is LOVE...

And to the boy back then who went crazy running in the rain with me, I Love You....and I'd really rather that we have a barbeque dinner at home instead of going out...but bring home a big round of pizza...thin slice..with shrimps on top....and a bottle of wine of course..

You know what I mean ;>

Spread the love everyone..mwah!

My Brain is Birthing

Abundance is not something we acquire.It is something we tune into.- W. Dyer

("My mind is giving birth....I'll be back in a shortie'...")

I wrote that early this morning because my mind did give birth.
It safely delivered an idea.

Right now though it is pregnant again...I can feel words and colors and scenarios bulging inside the swelling of my cranium. I bet a scan would reveal I am bearing twin rainbows.

The first magic appeared yesterday. I was presented with a job offer to head a language school owned by an Asian foreign investor. Could this be the answer to the current dry of my career libido? Will this rev it up? The pay is good and the work prospect excited me!

I mulled things over yesterday...again and again...seriously trying to picture me all dressy' and poised and confidently dealing with the marketing, the curriculum development, directing staff...It will be just like having my own school.

And I mulled things over again and again...

It wouldn't really be my "own" school.

I'd have to get up early. I'd have to deal with challenges. I'd have to talk and talk and talk. I'd get back home tired. I wouldn't have as much time for the home and kids. And the wammer' of it all is that..I would have to deal with a boss....(who doesn't speak my language even) eeeeeks!

But the pay is good...oh yes'...

With that last thought I felt a gush of insight flow out of my mind...Something just wanted to push out...

Didn't I have my own pod of dreams nestling in me? Didn't I dream of helping people get work? So then...why work for someone else? Why slave my time,my talent, my voice, my brains, my makeup for someone to profit through me? Why not instead of asking for work I give work instead?

Why what an ambitious Luxie way to think tsk! tsk!

But I believe that the dots connect ( as Hubz would say)..and two days ago while I was trying on some pretty flowery trinkets, my husband casually asked me what ever became of my plans to go into crafted handmade designs..and my plans to create cutesy' stuff as well as my own line of cologne....a little sweet like this and that...under the Lady Luxie label?!

And there appeared the second magic..

The realization that I can work for me...doing the things I love most...

creating

No more employee mentality...No more waiting for my pay...No more having to do things the way he or she likes...and the cream of the pie is that I can do all these in my home...the place where I most feel my best...

Me in business..for real?...on my own...Can I make it?....

As sure at the idea came to be the wails of doubt followed suit....then I remembered what I posted a day or two ago....

I am already complete...I am it all already......I now tune into abundance.
