I cannot breathe. I have the flu. How do I know this? I have spent the last 24 hours in writhing fits of euphoric/catatonic sweats, complete with aches, delusions, nightmares, and the inability to drink cocoa. Yes...cocoa. If I can't drink cocoa, there is definitely something wrong ( Read more... )

Yes, the money keeps coming in, but it doesn't even slow down. It's frustrating, because I have a lot of folks scheduled for Reiki in the future, but not enough for now, to get bills paid. That's the problem with being self-employed.

Not a lot to report, really. No news is good news, I always say.

The Coon Rapids City Council finally passed the...whatever it is...that prevents the trains from blasting their damnable horns every 20 minutes just steps from my house. I am elated ( Read more... )

I just purchased a copy of the 2007 Writer's market. It's awesome, and has a bezillion markets and their pay rates. Also available are Writer's Markets for novelists and poets. Barnes & Noble. It was around $30.00 and well worth it.

I also saw a guide to writing erotica...don't know how good it is...but thought I'd mention it.

I'm happy to say that we are having a new patio door installed today. It's much nicer than the old one and aside from the fact that they are putting the wrong color trim on it, I'm certain we will be thrilled with it. That doesn't make me any happier about the fact that the upper portion of my house is like the inside of a freaking refrigerator ( Read more... )

Hope everybody had a good time on Thanksgiving. We had much less stress than usual as we didn't host, but just when all was going well and I was about to go into a pumpkin pie coma, Chuck's mom had to be taken to the emergency room in the middle of the celebration at her house. Her chronic illness, which is ultimately terminal, is really doing a ( Read more... )

Well, I've broken down and applied for a part-time job. I have vacillated about this, first making a good effort to find something, then applying myself to my writing and Reiki, but it has come down to this. While my Reiki business grows monthly, I have acquired a certain amount of debt in getting it going, and this has resulted in not being able ( Read more... )

Today I teach Reiki to a lady who concerns me, because she has so much healing to do. That isn't surprising, as I had a lot of healing to do when I acquired Reiki, but it's the way she needs to heal that concerns me. She creates extreme (really extreme) drama for herself and then wails that she is powerless against it. I have a hard time not ( Read more... )

I actually like Mondays. I know I'm in the minority, here, but Mondays are like a fresh, clean piece of paper, and I kind of revel in the possibilities. I usually work weekends, teaching and practicing Reiki, so this is a slower day for me. However, this day I must conceptualize, summarize, and outline-ize my newest body & brain column, and I ( Read more... )
