Manifesting Like Blue

August 11th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Dear Friends.

I hear that its going to be a scorcher on the weekend. Yikes.

I’m thinking this morning that I have a lot to learn about manifesting from our dog, Blue.

Sure she uses destructive means but she does get what she wants which is usually around food explaining her waddle.

Once in a while Bobby buys her chicken wieners as a treat and when she knows they are in the fridge and only when we are in the kitchen she sits there by the fridge hour after hour until he gives her one. She doesn’t do it to me because she knows I won’t touch the things. They gross me out.  If she’s not doing that she is standing beside  (and sometimes scratches if we are not paying attention) the big garbage pail full of food and chews. If I’m on the phone she doesn’t stop barking so that I will get off the phone and give her something to make her be quiet.

Border Collies are always trying to outsmart you and usually succeed. She can be quite the b*tch pardon the pun.

Before the radio show I get out a bunch of chews and lock them in the front of the house and if they start barking I throw them some.

Ahh isn’t having a dog so wonderful. Hee Hee.

I’m thinking if I spend as much time on my manifesting as she does on hers that I might be receiving all of it.

Our other dog Bandit is completely different. Sure he loves to eat but his main goal in life is to follow Bobby and when Bobby isn’t home he waits for him.

Bandit did help us come up with the saying of “cross eyed good” though because when he is eating something he loves he looks at you and as he is licking it he crosses his eyes until he’s finished. It’s hilarious. When I get my camcorder which is on my manifesting list I will show you what it looks like.

P.S. I changed the title as Bobby brought it up to me it might not be appropriate. I wasn’t thinking on that one. I had Manifesting Doggy Style, oops. I’m not always the brightest bulb in the tanning bed.

Pet Styling By Becki & One, Two, Three, Four…..

August 03rd, 2010 | Category: Exciting News,Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone.

Bobby took me out this morning on my run so I didn’t look like a jerk in front of my Running Room peeps. He showed me what to do. Bobby’s Garmin was going crazy beep beep “speed up” which kind of means drop the slow poke.

I have to tell you that the counting thing really worked. It was like I could get to the end just by knowing that I only had to count a little more. I liked it. Then when Bobby was trying to get me to talk as I understand that is what you are supposed to do the timing went so quick as I missed half the numbers. I’m going to write a book about my new found way of running. Ha Ha. Too funny.

He dropped me off at home and then he went a “small” 6K. Hello?

If you received our newsletter (if you didn’t make sure you sign up on this blog and I’ll send you it) you know that my niece’s Grand Opening is today for her shop in Peterborough.

We are all so excited about this and very very proud.

Pet Styling By Becki.

Her phone number ends in DOGS. Like how cool is that?

So if you live in the Peterborough area and require some Grooming for your pets check out her shop.  The front of it is so beautiful. I couldn’t copy it from my email but I will show you in another blog.

Raise Up Your Energy with EFT!

July 26th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Evening Everyone. How goes it?

I’ve been on a you tube bonanza tonight and I found so many cool videos.  I had to share.

It started the other day when I was looking up Faster Eft with my blog here.

It’s so much fun and totally addicting. I’ll need a you tube video to get me from not watching you tube. Hee Hee.

I found a lady named Margaret Lynch who has all these video’s on changing your money beliefs with EFT.

There is one for opening up to $50,000 which was just so much fun but the one I loved more than anything was the one for a Miracle.

The Miracle one raises your vibration to the point where you are all excited for something good to happen. It makes you giddy! We all have to remember that the way to have wonderful things in our lives is to raise our vibration to the point where wonderful things can come in! How cool is this video then?

I’m going to listen to it every day before I get started. Woo Hoo! I’ll keep you posted.

So that’s it. Just wanted to share. Enjoy!

How so Very Proud am I?

July 24th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone. Welcome.

This morning when I was going through my emails I came across one from my niece’s husband David regarding a performance of his.

David is very gifted in many ways. Not only is he a teacher, web designer, photographer (see one of his photographs below) and an amazing Father and husband (I could add to this one forever) but he blesses  the world with his amazing musical talents.

I listened to his performance which was recorded for youtube and it brought me to tears. Very very beautiful.

You can listen here. David

I think I’ll listen to this when doing my visualizations because surely the Angels are listening.

Congratulations David. Thank you for being part of our family and for being You!

LoveDare

July 21st, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Afternoon Dear Friends. Welcome to the Psychic Cottage Blog.

My life is so blessed and I get to meet the most interesting people and friends in my travels. Thank you all for being in my life.

A few weeks ago by chance I met the coolest and most interesting and very psychic spiritual guy whose name is Claude La Vertu.

When I found out he is an author and wrote the book LoveDare I had to read it. I got a copy and waited for a day when no one was home and sat down and read it. I couldn’t put it down. I read it from the beginning to end in one swoop. I think it took me a good few hours to do it but It was like I was in the story by reading it.  His writing is beautiful. This book helped me to understand so much about things. I found myself saying to myself ahhh now I get it.  It was amazing and very beautiful. It was full of twists and turns and a few OMG`s  and a great story all ending with the power of life and love.

He has another book coming out soon too and I can’t wait to read it. I’m so excited.

Pick up a copy of his book. You will be glad you did. Go to Claude`s site here.

When buzzing around on youtube I found Claude talking about money on this clip. It is really interesting.

Cupcakes, Cookies, Clogs and Oh Ya Giant Hornets

July 03rd, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Hello Everyone. How are you this beyond gorgeous day? I’m hoping everyone is doing what they love to do and have found their passion.

Yesterday we went to Cobourg for the festival and it was really exciting. Well as exciting as things like that get. We went with our dear friends Janet and Joe and it was tons of fun.

It was a day full of strange events but then I guess I was in it so what else is new.

It started out by the Rotary Club charging like $7 each for the craft show. We were a little taken aback and confused as we weren’t sure if it was the entrance into the festival or the craft show. I asked and got the answer that yes it was for the full event. Hmm. Then we found out it was just for the craft show. Now if its going to charity that’s one thing but I couldn’t seem to get the information out of them. Hmmm. The guys basically walked around the outside and surely wouldn’t have spent $14 if they knew it was just to tag along with us. Shame shame on you Rotary Club. I felt sorry for the vendors that rented a table because people weren’t going in really.

As we were walking around this huge and I’m not pulling your leg (ok a little) hornet or some sort of long bodied creature went right onto my arm where you give blood and stung me. I was so surprised it happened. It started to swell up as I’m not too good with those things and swell and swell and sting. Almost like my whole arms was getting stiff. Thank goodness there was this wonderful wonderful lady there who helped me. The name of her booth was “Trish’s Salts & Scrubs” I’m assuming her name was Trish? Well as soon as she hears what happened she runs to my rescue. She puts some eucalyptus on it and then some tea tree oil. Ahhhh. The pain starts to go away. Within about 10 minutes it was completely gone. Gone Gone Gone. Isn’t that amazing.

The link to Trish’s wonderful products and knowledge is here “Trish’s Salts & Scrubs“. 

So that was the beginning of our day. Trish probably saved us a trip to the hospital. Thank you so much Trish. Thank you for being you.

Another cool thing that happened (not that the hornet was cool but being saved by essential oils was really cool) was that there was this wonderful booth that had cookies and you guessed it cupcakes. Yum Yum. They were so pretty. Janet bought me a cupcake. OMG it was so delicious. It even was the last one and had “pink” icing my favourite. God is good.  The booth was adorable and the lady that made them had on this wonderful top matching the booth all red and white stripes. You know I love branding. The website for this yummy place is “Sugar Dust Bakery“. She had all these wonderful cookies too.

Not that that wasn’t all enough excitement for me there was a booth at the festival with wooden clogs. Do you remember those clogs? I think they used to be called Dr. Scholl or something or other. (See Darlene’s comments she thinks they were called Clarks.) These were the funkiest colours and I can’t wait to save and get a pair. I was just talking the other day to someone about how much I missed my wooden clogs. They said the same thing. I said I wish they still had them. Low and behold Jill shows up at the Cobourg Festival selling her wooden clogs.  Her site is here but it doesn’t seem to be set up yet. Keep trying.  (If you are interested and can’t get on the site I have her card just email me. ) Apparently she is importing them from Sweden. OO la la. I used to live in them. I had a blue leather pair and a brown suede pair. Other than losing the ‘tards here’s what they look like. I found this picture on the net for you.

I found these clogs on line too. They are very delicious. They are called Cape Clogs. They are in the US though. I’m seeing if they deliver. I would like a Daisy pair! Or a Poppie Pair. Oh ya.

So that was my adventures yesterday. Then we went to Joe and Janets and they made us the best dinner. He even made from scratch tszaki sauce. Yum Yum.

Meghan’s Light

June 29th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Hello Dear Friends. How are you this strange night?

I have been feeling a bit melancholy all day and I was playing on the net and found the following story about a woman Meghan and how she kept a blog called The Bees Knees during her first finding out about her breast cancer until she passed away at which point her husband Adam took over the blog and is making it his mission in her honour to complete her goal list.

Being a cancer survivor from age 13 I found her story fascinating and so very touching. I read it from beginning to end.  I felt like I got to know her and what she offered to the world by telling her story. She blasted through her pain and made it into something she was experiencing the good and the bad. She could have pulled within and could have been angry and resentful yet she shared her story and now her story will help so many people experiencing what she went through. It is very humbling and makes one very grateful for every day on our great Earth.

When I had cancer it was very shameful. The word couldn’t even be spoken . It was called the “C” word for the fear of what was connected to it. We are in a different era now. Meghan shows in her blog that it is a fight and you fight with all you got. I found it amazing that she didn’t waiver from that place of strength. I loved when she said its “my” body and I will show everyone what is involved. Maybe not in those words but in similar words. How so very proud I am to have read her story. It is interesting that through all the pictures graphic or othewise she remains very beautiful and proud.

God Bless you Meghan. Thank you for being you and for sharing your light with us.

Happy 60th Birthday Diane!

June 24th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Hello Dear Friends. Welcome.

Today is a special blog to celebrate my sister Diane’s 60th Birthday.

Diane is known as Lavender Lady in the newsletter as she has a gift of poetry so you will know her from there.

Having a Sister is such a wonderful blessing. I can’t imagine my life without her. I do love her with all my heart. She is always in my thoughts and prayers. I am very blessed to have her in my life.

Here’s a picture of us when we were younger. (I wish I still had that car now.)

I thought it would be a wonderful gift to her to allow all her family and friends to write something that they want to say to her for her birthday. I thought it to be a cool idea. So here we go. Some have forwarded pictures.

If you are reading this and want to add birthday wishes and didn’t get a chance to send anything please either send to me and I will add to it or write a comment. I know it will make her heart sing.

These are in no particular order.

Pat has been Diane’s friend since forever and is a wonderful Artist. You can visit her blog here.  This is what she wrote:

“To Diane,
Thank you Angels, for sending me such a perfect forever friend.  I love you Di.”  Pat B.

Here is a couple of pictures she sent. The first is of Pat and Diane.

The next picture Pat sent was very cool because it had the three of us in it and our fake dog.

Here are some wishes from Lesley’s Family. Lesley is just so cute and her children and husband are wonderful. Cailyn is right to the point of what birthday’s are about, too cute.

“Happy 60th Birthday Diane!!

We are truly thankful to be a part of your life. Your free-spirited, fun-loving and unconditional love is just….awesome!!!!! There is no one else like you Diane and we wish to send ALL of our love to you :)”
xoxo Lesley and Kevin

Words from Taylor:

“Happy 60th Birthday….we’ve had fun all of the times we’ve been to your house. Hope you have a great birthday”….Love Taylor

Words from Cailyn:

“Hope you get lots of presents”….Love Cailyn

Next is from Diane’s sweet friend Glenys. Some people are just so wonderful. Glenys is always helping everyone. She never stops. It’s hard not to smile when Glenys is in the room, she is like sunshine. This is what she wrote.

“Birthday wishes to my friend Diane.
If the wind is still, Diane will create a breeze in your life and make you alert.
If the sun isn’t shining she will make you smile.
If you are feeling lonely, she invites you in.
If you want a giggle, she puts on a show.
If you need a friend, she is always there.” Glenys

Thank you dear Glenys and if you find that photo send it along and I will put here.

My Brother David said the following: “Happy Birthday Diane. Love you” David

Cheryl is my friend and added her own little birthday wishes for my sister.

“Happy 60th to your sister Diane.” Cheryl

The following is from my Bro Alan and my wonderful Sister-in-Law Darlene. Love you Both.

“My sister, Diane. Loving, caring and giving, extremely organized,
loves to travel, life of the party and always ready and willing to
jump into any situation.
Happy 60th birthday,
Love you.”
Big Brother & Sister-in-law”

They sent this picture of Diane and her husband when Alan helped them  put up a mural on the wall downstairs. How hilarious is that?

This is from Penny Diane’s lovely neighbour and friend.<

“Have a good one Diane.  Remember 60’s not so bad – you could be turning 61!  Remember to say Hi to Elvis from his #1 Fan up in Rock & Roll Heaven – Tony.” Penny

This is from Diane’s dear Friend Hilda:

“Birthdays should be a special time as everyone should know.
It means living another year of living another year to grow.
Birthdays should be a special time for each to then reflect,
On the past and on the present and what the future might expect.
Birthdays should be a special time to start anew,
Setting goals and working to make each and every dream come true.
Happy 60th Birthday Diane. Hilda

You all know my wonderful neice Becki (dog groomer extraordinaire) from my newsletter.

“Most people are afraid to express themselves the way my Aunt Diane does. Her sense of humour could be described as “quirky” but she always makes people laugh. Her style may not be conventional, but it belongs to her and reflects who she is. Diane is not afraid to laugh out loud or shed a tear of joy or sadness. Her personality itself is truly comforting and I’m sure I’m not the only one who enjoys her loving energy. Happy Birthday to the woman who always makes sure she says “I love you”. We love you too.Becki, Brian and Tyler”

Becki sent in this picture from her wedding walking with my Brother David (her Dad) with Diane in the background.

 

 

 

 

My cousin Cindy remembers the funniest things about growing up. I remember none of it but the things she comes out with are just so cute. Here’s what she wrote when I asked for something:

“I can’t believe she’s turning 60, boy do I feel old now, and I can’t believe how much you two look alike, makes me think of the old days when we played together at your house, I can remember I would stay over and your mom would make us eggs in the morning and I would eat the yolks and you would eat the white part, that was on Rogers Rd I think. Say hi to her for me and wish her a great big Happy Birthday for me ok. ”

Then she sent this from her Mom and her.

Hi Sharon I was speaking to mom the other night and her message to Diane is Happy 60th from your favorite Aunt Doris & Uncle Sam, we appreciate all your calls over the years and we always enjoy your visits they mean so much to us, we love you. Have a great birthday. And my message to her is I’m catching up to you, so please slow down I don’t want to be 60 yet….LOL Have a great day and hope we can get together this summer and have a blast. Your cousin Cindy Happy 39th Birthday Diane. Thanks Sharon this is such a great idea, you take care.  Cindy

This is from our cousin Shelley:

“Sorry for the belated birthday wishes for Diane but please tell her I think of her often always with a smile on my face. She was such an influence in my life and I recall times on Rogers Rd. a lot. Like the time we all had our wet hair wrapped in towels and Diane put on the music. We were all dancing with our turbins till they fell off and we ended up wrapping around our hips and doing the twist. We had a lot of fun together. happy birthday Diane. Also I want to say how much my mother loves and appreciates her.”

Mary wrote the following:

“Happy Birthday Diane. It’s such a pleasure knowing you for so many years and hopefully for many more years to come. You always have such a beautiful smile.” Mary

“Happy Birthday Diane.” Mr. & Mrs. Mariano

Vince sends his birthday wishes. “Happy 60th Diane”.

“Happy Birthday Diane. Lots of Love from Peter in Cuba.”

“All of our love and best wishes to our favourite Diane – we love you!”  Ed jo & Paula

“Happy 60th Diane. Love you.” Michael

“Happy 60th Birthday Diane.” Love Bobby

My Friend Dave added the following:

 “It is a very special moment when someone turns 60, and I certainly hope that this special moment is very special for you!” Dave

“Happy 60th Diane!!! I hope it was everything you hoped it would be and more… you deserve it! Thanks for being such a great friend! Georgia and I are very lucky to have you! Happy Birthday!!!!!” xoxoxoxo

So that’s everyone for now I could catch but please add your comments and birthday wishes for Diane.  If you have pictures sent them on. I’ll leave you with one last picture from the fairy festival!

Happy Birthday Dear Sister. I love you. Thank you for being you.
