Do you Remember Stovepipes?

April 07th, 2010 | Category: memories,Musings by Sharon

Hi Everyone. How are you this glorious day that the good Creator provided.

I read on a website today “Love what is Now”. How profound is that? We need to enjoy every minute of every day. We never know what this second is leading us to.

Yesterday I was with my Son and he had on these dress pants. I said to him they look like Stoves. By his look I could tell he was thinking “Do I bite on this one or is this just one of those My Mom is Nuts kind of things.” I had to quickly find someone my age to see if I was imagining things and sure enough my “Ex” was in the room so I said “Do you Remember Stoves?”. Sure enough he did and we had a laugh. They were exactly the same dress pants as Stoves. I look it up when I got home to make sure I wasn’t losing it and sure enough they were called “Stovepipe Pants” from the ’70’s.

How old am I eh? I thought it was hilarious. The kids just rolled their eyes and gave me this look of “whatever floats your Boat Mom”.

Life is such Fun!

Venus’ Mojo Art

April 05th, 2010 | Category: Exciting News,Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Hello Everyone. How are you this lovely day? The energy is just a hoppin’ not sure what’s up but it’s feeling very very good.

I had to tell you about something I just came across.

Venus whom I adore and who you know from my many blogs about her is also an Artist (so many gifts my Friend has) and she is selling her art on line and incorporating different mojo’s into them. Like how cool is that?

Check out her new site here. The paintings are beautiful. Think how wonderful it would be having her paintings in your home and knowing that each time you look at it it is resonating with a mojo that you picked for it.

I’m going to be so rich one day and have a different one in each part of our home with the particular mojo for that area in Feng Shui. My house would be spinning with good luck!

Oo la la I’m liking it very very much.

Thank you Venus for Being you. Love you tons.

Perfecting Chai Latte & Finding Nirvana in All this Clutter

April 03rd, 2010 | Category: In the Kitchen with Sharon,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone. Are you enjoying the weekend? I hope so.

This blog is somewhat scattered.  I would offer a map but I’m sure you are used to me by now.

It seems that for me time is standing still.

My mundane day job contract has come to an end and I’m only off one day and I’m at a bit of a loss what to do with myself. It’s funny when I was working I don’t stop. I’m busy all the time. Now I have the time I’m like where is the “busy” I’m used to.

I’m sure its just a lull before the storm so I’m just going with it.

What I have decided to do before I start a new contract or win the lottery whichever comes sooner, is clean up my clutter and perfect the Chai Latte. That is my goal.

I read in a blog that Lakshmi visits the cleanest house on Diwali and I have decided that I want her to visit my house in November. Yes my Family and Friends in 2010. Geez I heard you you know. Chuckle.

So if anyone has a messy house and would like to join me on this adventure write to me and we can join up together. We can support each other. There is no reason we can’t clean up the world one house at a time together. If I get enough people I can do up a Newsletter for that reason and we can all add to it and make a group. Instead of the Red Hat Society we can be the “I know my Hat was Somewhere in this Mess society”. No Virgos allowed. Just kidding I’m sure there are messy virgos out there somewhere.

My chart has a complete virgo interception. What that means is (to the best of my knowledge) that virgo is no where in my chart at all! Explains a lot.

If you have ever wondered what your chart says about you I have on The Psychic Cottage site an Astrological Profile that gives you all the wonderful gifts you have based on your astrological chart. I apologize as its only for women. It’s an amazing read and you can find out wonderful things about yourself.  There are also profiles available for children. It is wonderful to explore your child’s gifts and help them shine.

All in all I just don’t want six months to go by and I say to myself oh I should have done this or that. I’m on a mission this time.

The Chai dilemma comes because as you know on one of our date days Bobby bought me a milk frother.  I am having such fun trying to make coffee’s like Starbucks would make. Every night I’m like ok Bobby try this one or that one.

I should get a day job at Starbucks or something and find out how to do it. It’s all so exciting. I’ve always loved fancy coffees and how they look and taste. This little Keurig frother works better than anything I’ve ever tried. The good part about it is it stays foamy and doesn’t go back into milk. I find the one on the espresso machines don’t work as well for me. Maybe it is all in the temperature.

When I find my camera in all this clutter I’m going to show you how I have perfected it. It’s so pretty.

I’m going to go to my coffee supplier today and see if I can get some Chai cups and some espresso cups. Ok so I’m not achieving anything too spectacular but it does make me happy and when people are happy it adds to the energy to keep us in balance.

Happy April Fools Day.

April 01st, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone. How are you today? The weather is heating up! Oo la la. It’s going to be a great summer for sure.

I never liked April Fools Day. There is something about it. It gives me the Willies. Sometimes I wish I could go to sleep the whole day and wake up on the 2nd.

I think because I’m so gullible (or pollyanna)  I’d believe anything. Really? You don’t say? Get out?  I get sucked in every time. Hook, Line and Sinker. Even though I know it is April Fools Day it happens every year.

This morning I woke up to get Bobby off to work and he said something was on my face. I think he said a big red mark or something. Now mind you I was tired but I fell for it and went running to the washroom. Then he’s like April Fools. Urrggghhh. This day gives all the people in the world the right to be silly and you can’t do a thing about it. I’m not even clever enough to get the person back. It doesn’t help I have a smile on my face 100% of the time.

I read something I wanted to share with you to bring money in your life.

Look to your right, close your eyes three times, open them and there will be a little fairy. Say to her “An extra thousand dollars comes to me today with harm to none.” April Fools! See I told you I’m not good at this. Hey if it works tell me about it and I’ll do it every day! Stranger things have happened!

Dueling Laptops

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

Hello Dear Friends. How are you this glorious day. I’m looking forward to the wonderful weather coming up. Woo hoo.

I have to tell you about last weeks radio show. As you know I had Eryn on to do readings with me and I thought it clever to have Eryn to our house to do the radio show (hopefully she has recovered from the shock of the clutter) and we can both use our laptops across from each other on the kitchen table. We looked like we were doing a game of You Sunk my Battleship.

Who knew (well probably everyone but me) that it would cause a ton of interference between the computers.

I was all excited and I was acting cool in front of Eryn like I do this all the time and know what I’m doing and we were both ready for our call in listeners when all of a sudden we were the producers worse nightmare.

How it works on the radio show is that a few minutes before you go on the producer calls and says ok sound check. Well he wasn’t prepared for our Dueling laptops and he was like OMG what’s going on. When I told him our clever set up he was like get at the other ends of the house to separate them.

Well the other end of our house is like 12 feet I think as the dogs were in the front of the house and we were at the back.

The producer did some fast typing on Skype and a few quick phone calls and it was fine. We did a few switches between us with Eryn taking the earphones and then switching to phone and back and forth but he cleverly pulled it off.

To add more panic I suggested Eryn to hang up the phone during the break to recharge it not thinking that we would need to pick up the other phone to keep the line live.

I’m not sure if the Producer of the show is talking to me. I’ll find out on Wednesday when he doesn’t call and I am replaced with another Psychic.

I can official say to myself here “What was I thinking?”

So to my Producer Extraordinaire, thank you for pulling it off and to Eryn, sorry for the panic next time I’ll know better. Thank you both for being in my life and for being you. After all someone has to pick up the pieces of my crazy thinking.

Bobby Did it!

March 28th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Hi Everyone. We are home now and Bobby finished the 30K.

Woo hoo! I was even there when he went over the finish line. His first 5K I was off reading by the water and missed the whole thing. It was his first race too. Oops.

He did it in three hours and thirty minutes. Not bad considering that he started last May running at all. I’m very proud of him.

I wasn’t too pleased when I was heading back from my adventure and stepped in fresh dog poo though. Thank goodness it was raining and there was sand everywhere for some reason. Like really people do you need to bring a dog to a race and do you need to not pick up the poo? Oh well. Isn’t it good luck to step in poo or is that if a seagull poops on you?

So all in all it was a great day. Poop and all. Bobby is zonked out on the couch.

Way to Go Bobby!  Love you!

Run Bobby Run!

March 28th, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Hello Dear Friends.

I’m sitting here in wonderful Hamilton in Pam’s Coffee Shop at the Internet cafe and I’m waiting on Bobby.

I’m so proud of him. He is doing the 30 K around the bay. It was very exciting when they are all at the gate. The energy was quite magical. It was also kind of creepy like the Universe has been taken over by thousands of people with cool running shoes.

I have been wandering around the City but everything seems to be closed up until 12 when the City opens.

I did see from the phone book that there is a little new age store. I’m so excited I found a computer place because there are a few scary people walking around Hamilton. One lady started yelling at me because I didn’t smoke. Kind of peculiar. I did meet a couple of nice people though too.

We got here and had to park which felt like miles away. I was exhausted by the time we got to Copps Coliseum. I was complaining about the long walk from our car. I couldn’t even imagine running 30K. It’s so bizarre. In the words of the owner of Singer Shoes as mentioned in my blog “There are worse addictions”.

I’ve been watching him live on the internet. What a wonderful event. He has the greatest number. 747! Now that’s cool.

So good luck Bobby! I’ll keep you posted on the next email how he did.

Rachel’s Etsy Store

March 25th, 2010 | Category: Exciting News,Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Dear Friends. Are you feeling the switch in energy. Ahhhh. It feels good.

I hope you are all in a wonderful mood and are thinking positive and happy.

I have exciting news for you.

As you know from earlier blogs (Rachel) and (Rachel) to name a few,  I totally adore Rachel the woman that did my Psychic Cottage Character and the amazing Illustrations on The Psychic Cottage website.

I was in touch with her recently and lo and behold she has started her own shop on Etsy called Thrasher and Wren. Rachel is the wonderful individual who took my ideas (mostly in my head) and gave birth to my Psychic Cottage Lady and all the designs on my site. Mouth Media with their brilliance and talent made her illustrations come to life but it could never have turned out the way it did without Rachel.

When people say to me ” I love your website” I always answer back “me too” as I am always amazed that it happened the way it did. It is beyond anything I could ever have imagined it to be. God is good for bringing Mouth Media and Rachel onto my Path.

Rachel my Friend success looks great on you and thank you for being you.
