Baby G is Dying

They have been friends forever; since the Beach Boys drove little deuce coupes; since Jan and Dean hauled ass around Dead Man’s Curve and the Beatles wanted to hold your hand; yeah, yeah, yeah, since then.

There were the parties, the dates, the make-up tips, the hairstyles and the dates, the blind and the double. The early marriages, the babies, the shared penny pinching recipes, the mortgages, the betrayals, the divorces, second marriages and the grandchildren, and through it all one thing was a constant; their friendship. It would go on forever…

But forever is a relative term, different for us than for the mountains and the rivers, and the desert. We are transitory. Our forevers have a beginning and an end. And so as the end closes in, they sit and talk and remember. They snuggle in the past, wrapping it around them like a comfortable patchwork quilt. The past, it is all they have.

The present is painful and the future is a clock ticking faster than it did in the days of bouffant hairdos, mini skirts and Salem cigarettes. Death is no longer an abstract; the doctors have come and delivered their news. Perhaps a few months, weeks or days, it is coming and it is real. But they are friends forever, and so they talk, here in a place just a few blocks and a thousand years from where, as teenagers, they sneaked the first cigarette, learned the watusi and naughty things that would make their grandmothers blush. Now they are grandmothers themselves and they look back and giggle. There is a window in this room where she waits... Outside is an apple tree heavy with apples and the promise of apple spice cakes. When the fall comes…Do you remember the time we…?

Huna and The Law of Attraction

What we put out, we get back. I don't mean "what goes around comes around," or "what you sow, you reap." I'm referring to thoughts. Imagine that your thoughts have wings. And that they can soar off into the atmosphere gathering momentum, only to return to you as reality. Bascially this is the law of attraction. But it works in a convoluted way. For instance, I can see the inequities that exist in this field. But as long as I let this anger me into focusing more energy than I should on it, nothing will change. In fact, the law of attraction will actually send me what I focus my energies on (more inequities.)

So, if I truly want success (yeah I'm like the next woman, I do) I must got stop giving energy to what I don't want and more to what I do want. This will bring about the changes that ultimately help me to manifest success for myself.

The slow moving tortoise beat out the hare not because she was actually faster, but because she saw herself as worthy of being a winner, focused on that win and went about manifesting the win for herself.

Take a look at the seven principles of Huna, the Hawiian wisdom. Notice Makia, Ike and Mana. This is the law of attraction.

IKE -The world is what you think it is (If I see positive, I will attract positive)
KALA -There are no limits, everything is possible
MAKIA -Energy flows where attention goes (If I focus on it, feel worthy of it. It is mine)
MANAWA -Now is the moment of power
ALOHA -To love is to be happy with
MANA -All power comes from within (I have the power to manifest my happiness/success)
PONO -Effectiveness is the measure of truth

Rather than focusing on the inequities in the paranormal I will focus on the fact that we are making wonderful inroads for ourselves, and of course will continue to do so. Because now is the moment of power.
