Moo Moo....




Forget the smell of cow dung and just think fragrant summer flowers...

Welcome to Yarra Valley. After a yummy sunny lunch with good company and a glassful of Chardonnay at Yerring Station, I was more than content. But I could not resist getting up close to the beautiful moo-moos at Dairy Farm...I could taste the full-fat dairy ice-cream just by looking at them. Mmmm....visual replacement for the desert I could not stomach that arvo.

Fantasies of a different kind...hahaha!

"A Return to Love"

Sent to me by dear sister who is about to get hitched again. :)
Very happy for her and thus not surprising she sent me this quote
from Marianne Williamson:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear
is
that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of
us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we
unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others."

Simply said, and I love it.

Seeking reaffirmation from the untouchables.....

Well, there will always be people around me who challenge my belief that "Destiny is about choice, not about chance". And that there are many colourful ways of telling our future and whether we are taking the right steps at the moment.

So in a moment of curiosity, and after a Tarot card reading by a good friend, you kinda expose yourself to the fact that there could be some truth. While browsing on the net, searching for tips and answers...(to help me get through that one day where I just could NOT do any work), I chanced upon my Life Path on a site where numerology is talked about.

I must say it befits me though....check it out :)

5
(5, 14/5, 23/5, 32/5)

The Life Path 5 suggests that you entered this plane with a highly progressive mindset, with the attitude and skills to make the world a better place. The key word for your Life Path is freedom. In the pursuit of freedom, you are naturally versatile, adventurous, and advanced in your thinking. You are one of those people who is always striving to find answers to the many questions that life poses. The byword for the positive Life Path 5 is constant change and improvement. You want to be totally unrestrained, as this is the number most often associated with the productive use of freedom.

You may be one of the most compassionate of people as the 5 is surely the most freedom-loving and compassionate Life Path. Your love of freedom extends to humanity at large, and concern for your fellow man, his freedom and his welfare, may be foremost in your mind. A great Life Path 5 American President, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and ended slavery in America. As the ultimate progressive thinker type, your potential in government, the law, and other positions of authority is unlimited.

You are a good communicator, and you know how to motivate people around you. This may be your strongest and most valuable trait. Because of this skill, and your amazing wit, you are a truly natural born salesman. This ability to sell and motivate extends to any sort of physical product all the way through to whatever ideas or concepts you may embrace.

You abhor routine and boring work, and you are not very good at staying with everyday tasks that must be finished on time. On the average, the number 5 personality is rather happy-go-lucky; living for today, and not worrying too much about tomorrow. It is also important for you to find a job that provides thought-provoking tasks rather than routine and redundant responsibilities. You do best dealing with people, but the important thing is that you have the flexibility to express yourself at all times. You have an innate ability to think through complex matters and analyze them quickly, but then be off to something new.

A love of adventure may dominate your life. This may take the form of mental or physical manifestation, but in either case, you thrill to the chance for exploration and blazing new trails. Surely you belong to a group considered the most worldly and traveled. Clearly you are not one to pass up a good venture. You have quite a lot of the risk-taker in your makeup. If you aren't putting your money at stake, you are surely open to a wide variety of risks in your everyday life. Taking the conservative approach is just not in your nature.

In romance, you hate to be tied down and restricted. This doesn't necessarily mean that you are unfaithful or promiscuous, but it does mean that a good partner for you needs to understand your nature. A relationship based on jealousy and having tight reigns is not going to work at all for you. A partner who understands your need to be free and trusted will find you trustworthy, even if you aren't constantly available and totally dutiful. It is important for you to mix with people of a like mind, and to try to avoid those that are too serious and demanding.

If you are living on the negative side of the Life Path 5, you are apt to be multitalented, but suffering from some lack of direction, and there is confusion surrounding your ambition. Restless, discontent, and impulsive, you may bounce from one job to the next without accomplishing much at all. A negative Life Path 5 can become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions concerning the home and business life. The total pursuit of sensation and adventure can result in your becoming self-indulgent and totally unaware of the feelings of those around you.

Gloop....

Dun u sometimes wish something would just gobble you up?? The Black Hole, with its irresistably strong gravitational force reminds me of an overpowering force....like overwhelming emotions that just suck you in. When was the last time you felt like that?

Check this out http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061206/sc_nm/blackhole_dc


I think I am at a safe distance from the Black Hole at the moment :)
Not sure how long though before something creeps up on me. Ooh...scary.

Letting him go...




It is now time to say goodbye. I shall not remember the days, but the moments that we share. I finally have clarity...I feel the warm sunny glow and I can smile at life again. This one is for me.

Stash it....

Work is coming up nicely. The opportunities and offers that have showed up confirmed that I have not completely lost the 'X' factor. Even after a heady past year.

I am just about to give up a chance. A chance to take myself into the corporate world, that will take me on whirlwind trip around the world. Away from the altruism. Away from all that I have known.

Yes...I know I can. And that is enough.

Self-consolation. It's a useful technique at times.

So stash it now. Put it away. Store it in the freezer.

Till next time. When the conditions are ripe.
