Children of God (o=

So JJ respects me mainly cos I have standards and that I don't compromise these despite what everyone else is doing or thinks.

But in any case just reflecting...definitely I've found that children of God with true faith have much higher standards especially in respect to human decency and conduct to others, and that it is not unreasonable to expect this :) So I am really grateful... It is nice that since we are accountable to a superhuman authority we aspire to higher standards and even if we may fail miserably-*cough* like being able to love our fellow human beings (lol), that AT LEAST it crosses our mind that we SHOULD be doing do...by virtue of the Spirit we have a conscience and a guilt if we don't which makes us at least want to try our very best to improve every subsequent time that same situation presents...

Anyway I take comfort in this that others with higher standards can be found still in modern day society...and that they do have some kind of marker on their head so I can at least seek them out when I feel like I need a team!

"But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love."

Cheap and Easy

LOL...this phrase you tend to hear a lot to describe women...particularly those in these liberated "modern civilizations" in particular big metropolises where there's plenty of glitz, glam and money...and where men from overseas cultures realise so come in droves and start incorporating phrases and accompanying bold attitudes and expectations such as "friends with benefits" or "one nite stand" into their daily vernacular....

Blerghhhhh.

HOWEVER I was just thinking about this phrase "cheap and easy" and it did crack a grin on my face when I thought of how I could be associated with that phrase...

As the warm weather looms and I get that familiar ITCH and CRAVING to go for a "bowl"(lawnbowl)...and I'm desperately on the hunt for a bowlo buddy, it did occur to me that I would be a lot more agreeable and relatively more "easy" than I would usually be without someone indulging me a game! LOL, quite refreshing...especially for poor blokes- no need for CHANEL and expensive bribes here ;)

Sometimes some things really DO require TWO or more to tango...damn, there is that chink of vulnerability in my armour...I'm a pretty desperado chick where getting to lawnbowl/any game is concerned...I admit!!!! JUST GIVE ME A DAMN GAME then I am like a lazy kitten in your lap with fewer sharp teeth and sharp claws...LOL But before you think Game,Set,Match on "easy" don't forget that barb in the scorpian's tail and that tangoing with a scorpian is not for the fainthearted...before you know it you could be crying merely on the scoreline and the dent in your ego alone ;) LOL (It has seen men off to the club to weekly practice for impending rematches anyway...LOL)

Yes you can laugh, but it's TRUE. I ♥♥♥ Lawnbowls...Now if only I could get to play...

Reiki Love!

Wow this reiki stuff is so powerful. I went for a reiki/massage the other day since scientific study has recently proved that massage boosts your NK and T cells (basically, Immunity) and to be honest this experience with reiki with this particular practitioner was the only time I didn't feel aches in my body (which is also what inspired me to go learn myself).

Ever since then, I feel an amazing reborn ability to feel love towards dare I say it, everybody! (just to varying degrees, and in different ways of course ;)

This is in stark contrast to my usual cynical misanthropy fuelled by my dero surrounds.

Maybe I just had a strange day...it's not everyday one wakes from a coma! I think I need these "good news miracle" stories more often to "top me up" on feel good vibes...cos I'm just way so idealistic...and still haven't mastered protecting my energetic boundaries from negativity.

Do you love yourself?

So this is my favourite question lately doing the rounds.

My honest answer is...a resounding...Yes! :)

LOL some people might interpret this as narcissism, self-obsession and egotism.

But if they truly believe that love for yourself equates to that mentioned above, they're truly unenlightened...

And I feel sorry for them because in not being able to understand, it is very likely they don't love themselves.

The reason why I really love this question lately is because I feel it is a great indicator of one's emotional health and unfortunately, in all the people I encounter I can honestly say very, very few people can actually answer...Yes!

Mostly people can at best manage a..."sometimes" which is dependent on mood- when they feel happy or confident they can love themselves...ie they only love themselves conditionally.

If you truly love yourself, it is unconditional and solid as rock...and I believe being able to love yourself first is the foundation of real happiness and inner peace. Once you truly believe that you are worthy of, deserving and capable of achieving all you aspire to and dream of, that is truly a very powerful feeling...

I say all this because I think with all the troubled souls I encounter, see and counsel and with so much turbulence and challenge under my belt I feel I am in some way "qualified". I definitely went into the washing machine like everybody else, a piece of dirty laundry - however unlike most people of my vintage I got spun for several cycles at 1600rpm and now I feel I've finally emerged not just wrung out and cleansed but I've had time to hang on the line in quiet contemplation to observe, dry, regain my shape...and I now feel free, liberated and brand spanking new...

Life has never been BETTER :-D

Newsflash, Newsflash, Newsflash!!!

My blog has MUSIC!!! Technically, I'm not slacking off, cos I need music in the background...to be able to study ;)

anyway have a listen and tell me what you think...it's a pretty random bunch of stuff (if there's any duds it's cos I threw in a handful of unheard songs by artists I like for me...)

I like so many different types of music you can probably understand why I've been accused of schizophrenia before! *LOL*

Happy, Happy, Happy :-)))

In my humble opinion, this is THE BEST INVENTION since the internet!!! *hops up and down with animated vigour*

P.S...can any geeky types tell me whether having the playlist on all day will consume all my internet download?

edit: it does...but not a whole lot unless you really leave it on playing for a while. However one reason to consider getting unlimited download!

I lit a candle...

I love it- I found the link on Mara's inspirational blog.

If you want to see the message I left look for the one with "aoz AU" here...cos it burns out in 48 hours! :( ...unless I relight it hehe ;)...

I'm so glad I got back into "reikispace" tonight- the vibes sent out with that candle are so much more positively potent!

To light one yourself visit here.

Housekeeping announcement: Something is playing Havoc with my communications!

I just had the very disturbing revelation that my mscherrylane email is stuffing up much more than I knew...not to mention my phone was out several days last week, I have mysterious comments that I can read but then when I go to publish them they disappear! and then my other email also stuffed up which resulted in a very cranky friend who cooked me dinner and was waiting only for me to be a no show. Meanwhile I've been cranky thinking my friends are so slack- why are all my communications stuffing up? Must be astrological transit!

anyhow if you haven't heard from me for a VERY LONG TIME chances are I never received your email...so please drop me a Hi! so I know you're not dead- cheers :)

On another note, I'm feeling that the universe is full of love doing the rounds. I've gotten more than my fair share of love from the universe lately and I'm enjoying giving it back! With this closed circle model, there's no running out of the good stuff! :D
