Lucky Loonie

April 27th, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Hello Everyone.

I have to tell you about something very cool I found out today.

I received payment for a reading and there was an extra loonie in it. When I asked my delightful friend what this was all about she indicated that this is something that her culture does. Adds an extra dollar to every payment they make to keep the abundance flowing.

Isn’t that cool. I love that idea.

It reminded me of a Dollar a Day.

I received $20 the other day and it had written on it “I love you. You love me. Come back to me soon.” All these wonderful things seem to be showing up lately in my life about abundance. Hopefully its a sign of wonderful things to come.

Just When You Thought it Couldn’t Get Any Better.

April 24th, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone. Happy Saturday. I can’t believe its almost the end of April. Like where is the time going and where is my April to do list?

(Once again you might need a map on this one. I’m all over the place.)

I’m such a nut sometimes (I wrote wanker and then looked up the meaning and even though it said jerk it also said something about enjoying oneself alone if you get my drift so I left it out). I seemed to be in this state of confusion and I’m causing all sorts of havoc. Double bookings and such. My clients are going to think I’m crazy.

I’m probably living too much in the spirit world to get grounded on our sweet earth or it is the ole’ story of Mercury in Retrograde.

See there I go again getting sidetracked I’m trying to tell you a story of this wonderful little product that has come into my life.

When I went to the dentist they suggested that I buy one of their toothbrushes. Not having a spare $100 I of course said no but when my wonderful husband went to the dentist the other day he got me one.

Now I have one of those little cheapy crest ones but this one is like the Cadillac of all toothbrushes.

It plugs in to recharge and has a little case it sits in and the brushes are kept inside this little cool capsule so that it keeps clean. (Ever since reading about floating fecal matter on a toothbrush I kind of cringe when using one.)

That’s not all it is so cool to use. It feels like when the dentist does that end cleaning where they polish your teeth. Plus it vibrates and gives your tongue a little bit of fun. It feels so fresh and clean and I’m so happy. Afterwards my mouth feels so good.

So there you have it. When your dentists says to get one of their toothbrushes (which they say they make nothing on (who am I to judge) ) then it is worth it to get one or give google eyes to your significant other and let him or her pick you one up.

Now I’m hoping this blog didn’t have too much shock value talking about several taboo subjects all at once. Well I’m about to do it again see my quote.

(Psychic Cottage Waiver: By writing this quote I am indicating that I like the quote I am not condoning Trick Daddy’s music as not really knowing who he is (age thing)  I googled the lyrics and OH MY GOODNESS. I’m blushing here.)

Small Medium at Large

April 23rd, 2010 | Category: memories,Musings by Sharon

Good Evening Dear Friends. Is this not the weirdest Mercury In Retrograde that you have ever felt? I’m feeling almost like I’m suspended in some odd place in time going no where.

I was being reflective today and I was remembering when I was younger that I thought when I retired I was going to get one of those little trailers like this:

 

and a funky little car like a pink beetle and have them both painted into some sort of funky psychic travelling machines and do readings across Canada. You know stopping along the way and doing readings at craft shows and festivals and such.

Well that was until I met my husband who I don’t think would be onside to this adventure.

There is one of these little trailors on kijiji for sale and it brought up memories of  my dream to do that.

A small funny dream but a fun one just the same.

I really don’t think I’m that brave a soul anyway. I like things grounded and knowing where I’m at. Maybe next life I’ll be a Sagittarius and this adventure would be an easy one.

Remember When?

April 19th, 2010 | Category: memories,Musings by Sharon

Hello Dear Friends. Welcome to The Psychic Cottage Blog. I hope your day is a blessed one.

I actually wrote this yesterday but hello three blogs in one day not counting the ones I do for another blog was a little much. Time brings out the writer in me.

When Bobby and I were out and I was getting his happy face cake for his birthday I remembered about the most amazing birthday cake in the world from my past. Many moons ago Eaton’s and Simpsons were connected by a tunnel and you could go underneath the street. My Mom and I would go downtown and we would walk through. There would be these little carts zooming by on their way somewhere. I never quite figured the whole thing out but I remember it was such a special time. I’m hoping my memory is serving me right and this is correct.

Where I’m going with this is that Eaton’s had a bakery and they had the most amazing birthday cake. They even had little ones you could get which I have to tell you I have bought even when there wasn’t a birthday in sight. The icing tasted so delicious and hardened a bit when it was there for a day after. I have tasted nothing like these cakes ever again. If someone could duplicate this cake or if anyone knows of anywhere that makes cakes like this please let me know.

I remember too the Christmas Windows in Eaton’s and Simpsons. We would go downtown for the Christmas Parade and look at the windows. What fun.

Simple times really. It must be hard for children now as their lives are so fast. Esther Hicks talks of children  coming down computer ready as they are conceived in the time of the current energy so I’m sure a simpler time would make them a little nuts.

What fun to remember these things.

Walking after Midnight

April 18th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Look at me! Two blogs in one day. I really should do something productive instead of searching the internet for interesting things.

Nonetheless I found the coolest thing on my travels. There is a young girl Hailey who has started a company called Damn Heels and she has the coolest website. You know how I love my branding.

These little ballet shoes are for when your feet have had enough of the high heels and they are ready for some comfort. I was thinking about Hailey and the Patsy Cline song came ringing in my head “I was walking after midnight” hence the title of this blog.

Not only are these little adorable flats practical but so very convenient as they fit in your purse and then they turn into a little bag to carry your heels in. Like how cool is that? (I have to tell you though mine will probably get more use as travelling slippers as my days of midnight walks in high heels are few and far between.)

Someone is getting it right. Do they come in pink yet?

Congratulations Hailey! Success looks good on you.

Just Do It

April 18th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Happy Sunday to my Dear Friends out there in Blogland. I hope this wonderful day is treating you kindly.

I was listening to Venus (who you know I adore) on the Mojo Television Show she has with her daughter Summer (FlowDreaming) and she said something that totally inspired me. She was talking about how we all have these great ideas but we don’t do anything about them. Sure we talk about it to whoever will listen (sometimes of why we can’t do it) and we imagine it in our heads and minds and dreams but for some reason something always stops us.

The excuses are big and real really but they have to go if we want to get to where we want to get to.

We are far from alone in this one. I’m sure there are tons of people, including me, that if they acted on one small thing or even got someone to help them that things would just happen. Now I’m not talking here about when something isn’t ripe yet. This is a whole other matter. If something isn’t ripe no one can make it happen.

On Venus and Summer’s show (link here) Summer said that if you aren’t there yet just pretend that you are practicing. She said that Venus taught her that when she was young. Talk about taking the pressure off something. What an amazing idea. We spend enough time practicing what we don’t want to happen why not practice what we do want to happen.

So that’s it I’m getting off my butt and taking on a project. How about you? Are you in? I’m thinking the mojo and flowdream on their show really worked as I am feeling really inspired!

Happy Birthday Bobby

April 17th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Dear Friends. How is your world? I pray your dreams are coming true.

It’s my husband’s birthday today. I wanted to take a moment to say Happy Birthday Bobby!

Bobby as I call him even though he answers to many names is a totally cool guy. I think what I love about him the most is his conviction for making life happen.

Last year was a big one for him. He decided that he wanted to start running. You will remember my blog about it from May of last year.

Now he is wanting to run a Marathon and has completed the 30 K around the Bay.  Not bad considering his age. I’m so very proud of him.

He sets his goals high and always does everything to make them happen.

We have a really great life together and the best part about Bobby is that he makes me laugh constantly. Life is good.

Bobby, Happy Birthday to you and thank you for being you. Love you!

The Dreaded Cold Sore

April 15th, 2010 | Category: Exciting News,Musings by Sharon

Hello Everyone. How are you this lovely night?

I found out the coolest thing today and I wanted to share with you all. If you don’t get cold sores you don’t have to read this but if you do FINALLY there is a solution. One you aren’t going to believe.

Today I went to my dentist and I had this creepy cold sore. The lady that was doing my cleaning said to me that next time when I start to get the “tingle” to make an appointment as they have a new way of “get this” getting rid of cold sores.

I was like? You’re kidding right? No she wasn’t. What they do is they have a special laser thingmabob that does the trick. Apparently also the chances are that it won’t come back in the same area ever. I was in shock. My whole life I have had this cold sore dilemma. If I get stressed forget it it comes out all over the place.

If your dentist doesn’t do it drop me a line and I will let you know the name of my dentist in Oshawa that does it.

Woo hoo. A solution to a long standing problem that has plagued me forever.

Now of course use your own judgement and check with your doctor or dentist but I’m totally in and giving it a try. I think its even covered under some plans.

Totally Awesome

April 15th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Everyone. How are you this glorious Day that the Universe has provided for us to play with.

I was zooming around on the internet this morning and I saw an article about this fellow, Neil Pasricha, that started a blog called 1000 Awesome Things.

You have to check it out its such fun. He even has a book out now called The Book of Awesome. I can’t wait to get it.

What a wonderful idea. It’s like a way of feeling good when you are down or feeling better when life is sweet. The blog itself is such fun reading about all the wonderful things that make people happy.  Strange little things that we take for granted like clean t-shirts, finding money in your pocket, things like that.

I’m so happy for Neil. Anyone who spreads joy around is an Angel in my eyes and that’s exactly what he is doing. Finding joy in the small things is our way of finding the big important things.

Congratulations Neil and thank you for being you. Success looks good on you.

How are your Knees?

April 14th, 2010 | Category: Gems Along the Way,memories,Musings by Sharon

Hello Everyone.

How are you this delightful day?

I was thinking today about something that happened when my older boy was a little guy.

He loved and still loves the Boston Bruins. I took him to go see Bobby Orr and get an autograph. He was a little guy I remember his head barely reached the top of the table. My Son patiently waited and when he finally got to the front he said to Bobby Orr “How are your knees?”. Bobby Orr looked at this little blond cutie of a boy and just cracked up and said “they are fine thank you”. It was so adorable.

Life is like that isn’t it. We carry these little events in our mind that make us smile when we need a smile. How lucky we are.  If you stop and think what is happening in order for us to just stop and think about something that happened what 24 years ago its such a miracle.

If you are feeling stuck or sad think of your own miracles and watch your energy shift.
