No Pain No Gain

March 13th, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Good Morning Dear Blog Friends. How are you today? Today I woke up feeling like I was on the verge of something new and exciting.

It’s  not starting out that way though.

This morning I hinted to my husband that I might want to start running with him. Now he did 30 km for fun yesterday so I don’t mean that kind of running but just around the block or so. I haven’t figured out yet if I just want the cool running shoes or I really want to do it. Time will tell on that one.

Thinking I should start thinking about exercise last week I came across this box that my friend Kaleigh gave me when she was clearing out stuff. It is an Ab slide. Now when I opened I don’t think she used it much as it was still in its packaging and I had to put it together. I’m not judging at all because it has sat in our house for a year already too. After what happened to me though I’m kind of glad she didn’t use it.

This morning I was about to jump in the shower when I spotted it. So I put down a pillow for my knees on the carpet and tried to use it. I’m sure it wasn’t pretty as I was naked but no one was home so no harm. I got in the groove…once….twice…three times then all hell broke loose. Somehow the silly thing got stuck when I tried to push it and I went flying over it with the momentum of my push and my face went smack into the carpet, my glasses went flying and my right cheek took the brunt of it making a huge rug burn.

Once I realized what happened and the shock wore off I started to laugh hysterically at how funny the whole situation was. All I could think about as I was rolling on the ground laughing like a mad woman was “you really have to stop asking for blog material”.

I didn’t look at my face as I was a little nervous so I had my shower and then looked in the mirror. Oh my there is a big scratch on my face and a red mark down it from the rug. I’m thinking I have some “splaining” to do when my husband gets home and the funny part is he will totally believe me as funny things happen to me all the time. (Since confirmed he said “you look like the outlaw Josey Wales”.)

So  that’s my exercise for the day. Who invents these things? Maybe they have a little video camera in them that activates on use and they all sit around and watch them. I was thinking though if I had a camera on me, and of course I was dressed, that clumpsy mishap of mine would have made me millions on YouTube.

I knew there was going to be trouble in the karma department when I let out a giggle when the lady went flying off the treadmill on The Biggest Loser.

Just Brilliant!

March 03rd, 2010 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Welcome dear Friends to The Psychic Cottage Blog. I’m so happy you could come visit.

I found out about something today that is just so brilliant.

Someone told me about this bank that is offering a very unique way of saving. What happens is every time you swipe your card to buy something it puts money in your savings account. Hello? Is that not the best idea you have ever heard of.

I’m not talking about the savings really as much as the switch in our thinking and the law of attraction in action.

When we spend we are thinking (I don’t care who you are) of something going “out” of your account. It doesn’t matter if there are millions in there or you are in the negative you are still spending. Our brains and emotions are thinking of something coming out.

When this idea happens every time you swipe or spend or whatever your brain switches to saving and all the good things that go with that.

It’s green too which is thinking positive in the money department. (Oh I wasn’t going to mention the bank and now you know who it is.)

OO la la. Is that no so cool? I love it. Way to go Bank. I wonder if they were even thinking about the impact on the Universe when they did it.

Even though I don’t bank there I think I’m going to get an account. Woo hoo!

Millions the Movie.

June 18th, 2008 | Category: Musings by Sharon

Welcome Again to TPC Blog.

I just watched for the probably 10th time the movie Millions.

If you haven’t watched it give it a go. It’s totally brilliant and very moving.

It’s about a boy who knows everything about and actually sees Saints in his life. His mother passed over and he asks each Saint when he sees them if they have seen St. Maureen his Mother as he believes her to be a Saint. The plot is around a large bag of money which he feels came from God so he can help the poor. Everyone else seems to have other ideas.

There is one part which as actually removed from the movie and on the bonus materials as “Loft Saints” where he is in the attic praying and all the Saints are gathered around him to help him. This scene sends my emotions into a tailspin it’s so powerful. It’s especially moving to me as it shows us how we walk around in life thinking we are all alone but spirit is always around us. We might not have a gathering of Saints unless asked specifically but we surely are not alone.

 

If you are ever needing a little connection to spirit watch this gift of a movie.

I will leave you with this quote:

Spirit is an invisible force made visible in all life.” Maya Angelou

Until we meet again, Sharon
