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.

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.

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.

I’m not sure how it popped out but it just did. It was my favourite saying when I was young I even had a T-shirt.

Isn’t it the best. No matter what is happening in your life just keep on going. Things will get better. They have to. The pendulum can never stay on one side of the fence forever. It’s all about Balance.

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!

Hi Everyone.

How are you doing out there? The energy seems to be shifting from that heavy energy that has been hanging around. Maybe its just something that is happening to me but I feel it getting lighter.

Did you get the TPC Newsletter? I hope so. Such fun it was. If you didn’t and want a copy make sure you email me at info@psychiccottage.com or you can sign up yourself on the right here where indicated.

I was talking to my friend the other day and we were talking about something from when we were young and I mentioned something to her that kind of cracked me up.

When I was younger I babysat for people which alone cracks me up. This one apartment I went to the lady before leaving said “Don’t go in that Room”. Ya right.

She made such a big issue. I couldn’t wait for the kids to go to sleep to check it out.

At first I was a bit weirded out like what the h*ll is in there right?

Once the kids were fast asleep and I knew they were really asleep I went in. It was wall to wall furniture and junk piled on top of each other. All the other parts of the apartment were neat and tidy but this room was like something blew up. Like a storage unit would look.

I remember when they came back they asked again to make sure I didn’t go in. Nope! Not me.

Too funny the things we remember from our past.

Good day everyone. Welcome to the TPC Blog.

The other day I was chatting with my Hubs about something or other and we were talking about bare feet and he reminded me about something I told him long time ago about an old boyfriend of mine when I was young.

Now you won’t believe this even if I told you but when I was a teenager a lot of people walked around in public with bare feet. It’s not something we would do today and personally I can’t remember doing it myself but it was something that was done.

I was reminded about this time when I was in the hospital and my boyfriend or maybe he was my friend at the time showed up at the hospital with no shoes on.

My father was furious! He couldn’t believe that someone would have the audacity to do that. Looking back it sure was an odd thing to do and totally unhealthy at that.

This guy would walk everywhere barefoot. I wonder what he does today? Interesting thought. I am wondering what he would do at school? Was it allowed back then to go to school with bare feet?

Does anyone else remember this time or was it something that was just happening in my little dysfunctional world at the time. Maybe it was a hippie thing?

Welcome to the TPC Blog. I’m so glad you could come visit.

I am very grateful to have many blessings in my life and I wanted to share with you one of the gifts that God gave me in this lifetime and that is the gift of my Sister.

My Sister, you know her on this blog as Lavender Lady, is one of those generous wonderful people that walks our Earth.

I can’t imagine my life without her as she graces me with her sisterly existence.

Lavender Lady is the keeper of the pictures for our family so she is always sending funny pictures to me.  She got that job because she is extremely organized. I am forever calling her saying can you send that picture when this or that happened. She is also the families’ creator of poems.

Check out this picture she just sent of us. Not sure where we were headed but we were happening.

The funny part is my sister probably looks younger today and she’s 60. Always a knock out that one.

Check out the land in the background. You aren’t going to believe where that land is. It’s where the Jane & Finch mall is located now. Times sure change. I grew up there but it was all land back then.

Lavender Sister always had the coolest cars growing up. Austin Minis, TR4’s and I remember she had a carmengia.

She would drive us everywhere. I remember once we had a bunch of us in the Austin Mini and for some reason I remember we looked up and there was a fire engine coming right for us with its siren going. I guess the music was too loud.  We survived though.

My sister loves Lavender. Her dream is to have a little store that only sells Lavender. She has a name for it but I won’t share with you as I don’t want it to get grabbed up. She said if she is ever sick and only has a little time left she wants her husband to paint all the walls lavender, have tons of lavender all around her and everyone to come visit. Not that she’s going anywhere as the world isn’t a world without her in it.

Weird part is my Grandmother used to be the Lavender Lady at the Exhibition just inside the horse building. Family thing I guess this Lavender.

So I guess today I just wanted to share my sister with you. Her picture allowed me to remember how so very lucky I am to have my Lavender Sister in my life.

Welcome dear friends. How are you this frosty evening.

It sure got cold quick. Not sure I like that.

I was thinking today about when I was younger and how my sister-in-law Darlene and I used to every year go Christmas shopping and we would always go to Swiss Chalet for lunch.

It was a tradition of ours. The funny part is that every year Darlene would get the worst headache from the sauce at Swiss Chalet and she would spend the next day recovering from our little trip.

It didn’t stop us though as the next year we were right there doing the same tradition headache and all.

We would go to the one that was downtown. It’s not there now which is unfortunate as it was really a pretty one.

Come to think of it I think the poor waitresses back then had to wear those silly uniforms with the little white tops. I tried to find one on line to remind you of what they looked like but couldn’t find one.

The fun things you remember when you look back. I haven’t thought about that for years and today it just popped into my head.

Traditions are fun things aren’t they. They make something that’s just simple into something to look forward to and get excited about and remember even when its like 35 years later.

Bobby and I had a tradition of breakfast every Saturday. Since Dr. Angelface I can’t really eat a big breakfast like that and now with Bobby being vegetarian its a tradition that has been broken. We have lots of years to make many more traditions though.

Thanks Darlene for our yearly tradition of Christmas shopping, Swiss Chalet and sorry to say your yearly headache. Love you tons.

Good Evening my Wonderful Friends. How are you all out there in Blog Land?

I’ve had the worst backache these last few weeks. It’s either stress or a backache. I really don’t know. I’ve had this pain before though. My Friend Kaleigh says I had it when I first got my car Daisy. Something about the structure of the seat and the standard movement.

It’s good to have friends’ with good memories about my ailments.

I have been taking Roboxocet but it makes me high as a kite. I’m not that good with drugs. I have weird reactions.

Honest there’s a reason for me telling you this story I’m getting to it.

Tonight was my special night where I start Piloga. Piloga is Yoga and Pilates. My gracious client and her husband allowed me to take his spot as he didn’t like it. I am very grateful to them for this. Thank you friends.

I really thought I would get there and never get up from the backpain. There were days these last few weeks where my legs were out there and my body was back because I didn’t want to feel the pain of lining them up.

So we were using these fitballs and stretch bands and lying on these matts and slowly my back started to feel much better. Then I thought oh no I took some Motrin before going I hope I am not making it worse but I can’t feel anything?

So I’ll let you know tomorrow if I can walk in the morning.

Yoga has changed so much. The last time I went to yoga is was in a HUGE gym of a school and there were so many women all over the place.

I have to tell you this one story and my sister-in-law is going to string me up for telling you.

Once my sister, sister-in-law and I took a yoga course. We were on our matts and in this weird position where your legs are up and your bum is up, etc. So doesn’t my sister-in-law let out a little toot at one of those quiet moments.  Well I lost it. Totally busted a gut. I started laughing so hard. She played it cool which was a good move because everyone thought it was me. I laughed and laughed and laughed. I still laugh when I think about it. Isn’t that hilarious?

So that’s it. Stayed tuned for the outcome.
