So last week, I had been fighting off something as each of my kids were being diagnosed with ear infections. Then last Thursday, I really felt off and by Friday could tell that it was going to get worse. It was so bad that I cancelled my massage. Hubby knew then I was really sick.
After a good night sleep I felt better, but not 100%. So by Sunday, I decided it was time to go to urgent care to see if it was viral or had turned bacterial. I'm now on antibiotics. I wish I could say I felt like writing or being spiritual -- but when I'm that sick, I usually want to do something to take my mind off of it. That and sleep - which I did a lot of over the weekend.
My sinuses are "better", I woke up without a fever, but I can still tell I'm not quite there yet. After my hour commute, I am ready to go back to bed. But I'll soldier it through.
So forgive me that my life has overtaken me writing and being the spiritual person I am. It's very rare I take time for myself and so I think from time to time my body just gives out so I will.
But it's a nice lesson for all of us.. to make sure we're taking care of ourselves. Making sure we make ourselves #1 instead of last or in the middle. Too often many of us do that. It's not being selfish to give ourselves that mental break once in awhile.
Take time..

Rest
I have a lovely friend who is quite talented who gave me an automatic writing yesterday. She's just starting this process and of course I'm a great guinea pig to try things on :D
I did find it funny, in the past, my guides and angels have been telling me to take the steps I need to into the spiritual realm. So I have been. I've been getting different attunements, I set up my own webpage, and I've been really working hard at the spiritual side (while still maintaining my "other" life -- work, commute, home, and kids).
Well my eldest came down with what turned out to be an ear infection last weekend, and the twins soon followed. Got them diagnosed the other night. I've been fighting it, better than I normally would and I give credit to the reiki energies I've been attuned to.
But just because it's me, I have finally come down with it. Not an ear infection - but a cold of some sort. Started last night. Feeling it today.
Anyway - my friend's AW message basically was to SLOW DOWN. Be like an animal and RELAX. Things will come when they're supposed to and I'm on the path now, so to make sure I quit forcing things. Guess it was great timing. I don't think I'm going to be able to do much feeling the way I do.
As a healer, one of the first rules for us is to take care of us first. If we are not at our best, we can't do our best for others. This was one of those lessons I had to learn the hard way. :D So let my hard learned lesson help you.
You can say no to people. You can put them off to another time, when you have the energy to deal with it. I am really working on this lesson.
If you'd like to check out the products that my friend offers -- you can find them here: http://bearraven.weebly.com/
You can also follow along on her blog: http://bearraven.blogspot.com/
And of course, you can always check out my products: http://www.healingsbyharmonize.com/
I will be better soon and I do so like to help people. Trust me, my healings work better for other people than they do on myself :D

LOVE
It has such a "Lovely" ring to it doesn't it? One of my favorite bible verses is 1st Corinthians 13. This is before I knew it to be a popular verse to read at a wedding. I think I was 12 or 13 when we read it in Sunday School and it just hit me. From that moment on.. favorite. The last verse:
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Is so poignant. Faith, Hope and Love -- three WONDERFUL emotions. Who wouldn't want to feel that every day?
Well, it's been a trying couple of days for me. However, I did an attunement this morning called "Rejuvenation Regeneration Reiki" - OMG, such peace and the feeling of love came through me. It still is.. any negative feelings I was having.. not anymore. I actually feel so peaceful, I could go to sleep, but considering I'm at work, probably not prudent to do so ;)
I am truly "loving" this feeling. It's nice when I get stressed out by something going on (which it does) I just re-connect to this reiki energy.. and back to peace I go :)

Clashes
Have you ever had clashes all the time with this one person? Seems to happen to me a lot lately with my husband. It's never about the things you think we'd have on -- no it's about the kids.
He's the stay at home parent. Yet, miraculously the house is NEVER clean, the kids never get clean unless I do it or make a move to do it, and he has no internal thing that say -- hey let me check the temp, the kid sounds awful.
So my eldest whom I watch like a hawk with infections, due to her heart condition, ended on Sunday being diagnosed with an ear infection. So I make sure she's on the antibiotics. This is her last week of school.
I go to work, commuting a good distance each day, not sleeping well, come home and give 2 of the 3 a bath in my evening. I then go to work again and through a discussion we decide to go eat out. I get home and all I hear is coughing and sneezing -- from the other two. He still thinks it's ok to go out to eat. I'm not feeling hot either - not sure from lack of sleep, no a/c in the car or what.
Well the twins have their therapies today. Luckily I have the phone # of the speech person. So I text her asking whether she wanted to deal with the kiddos (and their snot). Because I know my husband, he'll think nothing of taking them regardless of how sick they are.
So I guess I'll have to make the plan on whether they go or not -- as I'm working from home today. I was hoping with sleep they'd be good. Unfortunately I'm still hearing the coughing and sneezing. How he sleeps through it I have no idea :D
I stopped with the "clashing" and just started doing what I felt was best for my kids. Even if that meant I took time off to do it. Sometimes you just have to learn not to clash in your own way. My way unfortunately for me is to do it myself. :)
Who do you clash with and why do you think it is? How do you resolve the problems?

Having a Blah Day?
Every once in awhile I get these "moods" where I feel numb or "blah". I know all about the Law of Attraction of bringing the same energy to you -- but there are just days, I don't care. It can be hard to get out of these moods.
So what I like to try and do is listen to very upbeat music (even if I don't want to). To try and raise my "attitude". If that doesn't work, I then try to work with visualizations. Something that will put me into a more peaceful frame of mind.
I like the beach, so I do my own self meditation/visualization.
Imagine yourself walking along the beach, it's a nice summer morning, the sun is about to crack up over the rise. You hear the surf pounding against each other and rocks that might be jutting out into the ocean. You feel the waves rolling over your feet. It's warm water and every time one comes over, your feet go a little deeper into the sand. Every time the water washes over your feet.. feel the negativity pull away from you. As the sun rises.. feel it seep into your soul and fill you up with light. Breathe in the salt air -- deeply -- to help reverse what ever negative feelings you may be experiencing. Breathe that out.. let the wind wipe it away from you. It's gentle breeze blowing around you keeping away the dark clouds.
Stop walking and just be one with the ocean, air and beach. Keep breathing in, holding for a moment, then breathing out. Keep going until you feel the peace entering your soul. Once you feel that. Thank the guides and earth for helping you. You open your eyes and the day is brighter and feels better to you.
What do you do/use to get yourself out of the funk?

Manic Monday?
It's the start to another week. Most people are dragging into work on Mondays not looking forward to the week.
It's that mindset that sets our week up for us. So if you dread it..you'll find things getting in your way where you're probably then go "See.. I knew it was going to be bad".
What if you changed that mindset? Think of it as a clean slate to start all over?
If you start out the week stating, "Yes! I'm alive and well and this is going to be a GREAT week!" Just saying those words out loud, how would that make you feel? Upbeat?
This weekend was full of trials and tribulations for me. My back was still out and my a/c in my truck I drive in my LONG commute was out so took it in to get it fixed. Took most of Friday afternoon. To find out that they needed to replace a part. There goes $500. But I'm buying mileage so I'm dealing with it. Friday evening comes and my eldest who had been on a field trip, comes home with bloody knees and bloodshot eyes and is sounding stuffy. I chalked it up to allergies. So we decide to head and get water at this place we know and stay at every year and do it as a family. Hubby gets the water, while I watch the 3 kids. Eldest is mad because the sand isn't wet enough to do sandcastles. The boy is running around getting into everything. My youngest I set in the sand and after about 10 mins I look to see she looks miserable - so I move her to the swings. Which she LOVED. It was a hot day and gnats were out and about. Apparently bees too (which I'm allergic to), luckily I didn't see any.
We end up moving to the playhouse and then finally to a local place to get lunch. That was YUMMY!
So, it wasn't terrible Saturday - but my back hurt and it was a 2 1/2 hr trip both ways and youngest got a bloody nose and eldest started running a fever. <sigh>. I also lost the day to the things I try and get done (like laundry).
Sunday, hubby takes the truck back to the place to get the part to fix the a/c. I watch the kids. Eldest appears well, temperature is down. I work on laundry and getting the small clothes out of where we have them and reorganize. Feed the kids, eldest starts running a temperature - this time higher than it was on Saturday evening. I find out around 1:30, that the part they replaced isn't the problem. And it's a part that hubby didn't tell me they were replacing. Or I should say, told me wrong. So now we have to find out from the other garage we normally go to if that part is within warranty. If not, have to buy a new one and then go get it installed. Yeah!! More money out of the window! :D
He comes back and I take the eldest to Urgent Care. Yup, another ear infection. More antibiotics. We barely made it into the pharmacy before the rain came and poured down. Luckily by the time we got the medicine, rain had stopped.
So, not a terrible weekend - but parts were bad. I didn't want to take that attitude of bad into my new week. So I'm not. I woke up and said it's going to be a great day! I even didn't get mad when I left something in the house and had to go back for it. Picked up gas and picked up groceries and then traffic was actually good. Still got here early.
I have my new website up, I have great feelings about it. It's something that is mine and not shared with anyone else. I didn't have to spend a fortune on getting it up either. Now all I need is customers and I feel that will be coming soon. I'm excited :) I love helping people and it'll be great to earn some extra income to help with all of the bills that have come in lately.
So, how can you make this a positive week for you? :)

Expansion
I am expanding with my abilities every day. I have always been a healer, I think. I never liked seeing people in pain and tried my best to help where ever I could.
I'm expanding that. I'm learning new Reiki types that help with other areas in your life. I figure the ones I'm learning and embracing -- are things everyone probably needs help with from time to time.
I'm not perfect -- NEVER. Perfection in my eyes should never be attained, otherwise where is there to go? I call myself a work in progress -- there's a reason for that. I will never be done learning. I will learn until it is time to go back to the creator.
As I get my new attunements, I will be offering them to everyone on my new website: www.healingsbyharmonize.com
I would love to offer things for free, but I'm a single income family of 5. I'm the one working outside of the home and 2 of my 3 kids are "special needs". I will however on occasion be offering some of my healings or readings for a special price from time to time. Check out twitter (divinepathways1) or facebook (https://www.facebook.com/harmonize.divinepathways) or my blog here to see when I'm offering them.
Blessings to everyone and here's to expanding our knowledge and energy!!
