Ok , so I am of course reading a new book and it got me thinking what I refer to as a Miracle can also be called Magic. You put things together and if the are just the right mix you get Magic, or it can be compared ,like I also have reffered, to as ~ A Recipe. You can follow the golden rule of MWD~ to find you and in turn find BLISS. Then you have to add little bits here and there of what fits to your partner and what you like too. I never looked at it like that but it does seem to be so.... So let me get back to my Witches cauldron! God bless. ~Ali
The book is for Women ... Sarah Ban Breathnach Simple Abundance... or Romancing the Ordinary. Checked out both and cant remember which one had the bit about Magic in it.
Also that the state of your home or bedroom coincides with the sate of your inner being. I tend to agree....
Thank GOD for my love of books. Keeps me occupied and Smart!
I also remembered this morning that day 2 years ago when I put in the keywords "STOP MY DIVORCE" AND THIS SITE CAME UP! What a blessing... I am absolutely positive had I not found MWDs books .... I would not have been able to do this on my own. I was stuck on Sad ... and just felt so lost. I am a better version of myself today for taking the risk to follow this thru. I am stronger and feel so good in my own skin.... now if she would only write a Diet book.... have been doing well and then I dont journal what I have been eating. So I get off the diet so to speak... GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!
Went for a walk with a friend yesterday and she loves attention... sooooooooooooooooooooo,
So we had to walk on the main strip here ( Small city of 70,000+ people) and there are Restaurants and Coffee houses. So anyway we walk by this bar ( oh yeah we have one on almost every block,,, it is Wisconsin yeah know! ) and this guy is standing outside the bar smoking with two girls.
As I walk by he says " hey mamasita..." (Insert roll eyes on my part... ) I smiled and we kept walking.... Made me laugh inside a little actually .... I know DQ~ just stop being so hot and my problem will be solved. I was wearing gauchos a tshirt and NIKE tennis shoes,,,,
Oh well I am just one hot Mama~ LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cue the song from that counrty singer >..... " your one hot mama..."
Ok I have to get back to my housework and stop telling silly stories... ~Ali
Also that the state of your home or bedroom coincides with the state of your inner being. I tend to agree....
Hmmmm.....Does this explain the cluttered up mess that our house is in? We are really working on changing this but in the back of my mind I always knew that it reflected the state of her being (level of happy vs. sad). When she would get really depressed it wouldn't even be clean. Clutter is one thing but dirty is always a very bad sign.
We have been working to get it looking good now. You know, the "fix up the bedroom project" and all.
Alimari, I have been reading your thread for a while now. I am still mostly hanging out in the newcomers area. I was wondering if I could ask you a question ?
I know my Husband and I would have a lot of issues to work on if he decides not to separate. But, one of my issues is I need to be more affectionate. I am more than ready to change in this area. BUT I have been holding back now because I do not think at this time he is ready for it. I just want to reach out to him so bad just to hug him or move in closer to him in bed. YES, we are still in the same bed even after he asked for a separation, but he will not even touch me right now. I do not think we are ready for sex right now, but I would love to show affection with a hug or snuggling up to him in bed. We are both aware this is an area we need to work on. Do you think he would like this because it shows I won't hold back any more and I want to change things or do you think it will look like I am trying to pressure him ?
I know it is hard to answer with out knowing him or us. I am just looking for some opinions on what I should do. Should I hold back showing him affection until he hopefully makes the first move or should I step up to the plate first and reach out to him ? At this time he isn't even sure if he wants to work on the marriage or not.
Ali - I've read all the witchy books, the magic books, the secret books, the spiritual books.
One of my faves was A Course In Miracles.
It made a distinction between magic and miracles.
Magic is what your ego-driven mind does and makes. It actually makes magic all day long, every day...because all thoughts have power to create or change reality, whether we think they do or not.
Miracles are from our creator and are always expressions of love. Every expression of love is a miracle, but this encompasses much more than what we think of as love.
So magic is usually not recommended, as we can misuse it. Miracles are all around us all the time, and the moment you shed the scales off your eyes....you see them constantly.
I see your point but I challenge you to read her book and see it how she explains it which matches my belief more. One is from the outside and one is from within and yet they are both divine. I was teasing about the cauldron... dont want anyone to get offended or scared. Sure it can be misused, but so can people who say they love God use it for harm rather than good.
I believe it how she puts it. That they both are divine.....
I have read ( a return to love ) a book by Marianne Williamson a long time ago... and thanks for bringing her up actually. That will be my next project. I recently was listening to her on oprah.com. I also read a quote from her in this new book I am reading about making yourself small so that others dont feel bad or insecure ... something like that. I have been guilty of that .. for a long time... and now like I told you before I want to revel in who I am and I am not doing it to hurt others... but why not rejoice in that which is me? I am a child of God and that makes me beautiful and sacred. Hiding it does not make me enlightened.....
Thanks for posting DQ~ I am gald you did ... so for late August or sooner that will be my next book to read! I do believe they are intertwined this lady explains it so beautifully....
It is a great subject/topic.
I believe my Marriage was saved by me and for sure DIVINE INTERVENTION ( GOD) and hard work sweat and tears and a H who realized what he was going to lose. My Mother in law on the other hand ( she didnt tell me this to my face ) belives I am some sort of witch.... In Mexico they call it brujeria. She is nuts!~ I prefer the term sorceress... for I am divine~ and see I am kidding again. People take themselves far too serious sometimes myself included. But life is tooooooooo short for that! I dont believe it was magic that saved my M I do honestly believe it was a Miracle... and most of all it saved me.
And yeah , I dunno if there were ever scales on my eyes.. I have always seen life as a blessing even when I have been at my worst... you just have to read my old thread to know that.... there are Miracles evrywhere is sooooooooo true. Life is a gift ... I wasted too much time not enjoying it and now it is time to enjoy it!
( Now where did I put my broom? I need to run some errands~ )
I miss you. LOL. Thank you for posting through my worst times. I needed you care and concern. I'd say "love" but I don't want to "scare" anybody.
Listen, I have a favor to ask you. SG posted the instructions for how to get your old posts back, and I need you to put the link on my thread, if you don't mind.
I need to read it.
Thank you so much, Have a wonderful day, H stayed home last night again. Don't know what's going on.
