Update on life

Music: Practical Magic Soundtrack

I have had a relapse in the pneumonia. :( I have been sick a month now and I am very sick of being sick.

I was doing some cleaning up on my yahoo group - the adult picture list I run - this weekend. I was writing some members of the group and ran into someone that I know in my real life that I did not know was in the group still. He wrote me an email that was nice…basically telling me I am too depressed and I have lots of good qualities and to focus on those.

So, I did some reading on Caroline Myss site because I feel I need to work on some things I have read on that site that I have made sense to me to make me move forward. I was thinking of getting her book Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential. I am really hoping that when I start working again I will start moving forward also as it will give me more of a focus. Even though the work things will be kind of scattered over a few places….it will give me a focus.

I talked to Nick yesterday. I had something to share with him and he and I talked about that. He saw the same things I did so I was glad I was not over-reacting. We then talked about that he made his decision about his job. He is going to go with the police academy. I knew that is what he would do but I knew he still wanted to talk it out and think about it before making the decision.

While I was on the phone wit him he had CSPAN on and they were talking about the French Presidential Elections going on and he kept saying OMG over and over again. I was like what is a matter. Nick grew up in France. He told me a story of him and a buddy walking home from college thing one night and they were stopped on a bridge by a bunch of skinheads. They beat both Nick and his friend. He friend ended up paralyzed from the fight. The skinheads were part of a group that one of the presidential candidates is from. So he was not happy to see that name up on second round for the Presidential Elections in France.

This is from Yahoo New - World - AP Europe…..
Yahoo! News - French Voters Show Dismay at Le Pen Le Pen, founder of the National Front Party, has often been considered an embarrassment by many French voters for his nationalist political views and his tendency to blame immigrants for most of France's social problems.

And from another article….Yahoo News - Politics - AP News

Yahoo! News - Thousands in France protest against strong election showing by extreme-right Le Pen, who virulently opposes immigration and has been accused during his long political career of racism and anti-Semitism, ran second in Sunday's vote counted, edging out Socialist Prime Minister Lionel Jospin.

That is a scary thought to think of someone like that being President.

I did not go to SMART on Saturday because of being sick again. I had wanted to go though. Next month though I am really interested in seeing how it goes as I did part of the planning on it. In August Laura Antoniou is going to be the guest speaker at SMART :) I am totally excited about that! I have always wanted to hear her speak. And I need to have the books by then so I can have her sign them too.

So that is an update on what is going on in my life….

peace,
