Valentine's Day and Grid Workshop

Valentine's Day was awesome! Nancy and I went to The Mad Platter and made ceramic Valentine's hearts for each other....awe... wasn't that sweet. :) It was great fun. I love finding different things to do on holidays that doesn't revolve around food! For those who aren't familiar with stores like this (I wasn't until recently) The Mad Plater is a store you can go and pick out blank ceramic pieces and paint them and write on them however and whatever you want. You leave it there for them to fire and then you get your own hand made ceramic cup, plate, knick-knack or whatever to take home or give as a gift. I took a picture but I can't post it until we use the rest of the role and develop it... so maybe by next year I'll post it. :)

Note to self: When you have the means, get a digital camera.

Nancy and I were very proud of ourselves because we both have neglected to celebrate Valentine's Day AND our anniversary for the 2 years prior. We both agreed that it's not because we forgot or don't love each other; quite the opposite. It's because at our house, everyday is Valentine's Day!! WOOHOO!!! Love is everywhere all the time!

It makes me recall a favorite saying of a dear old friend, "You guys are enough to gag a maggot."

Another highlight of the week was a grid workshop. Actually I have to go back a few weeks and write about a bit of synchronicity that has been happening. Things keep popping up in my life related to sacred geometry/ the golden mean/ Egyptian cubits etc etc. I don't know where all this is going but I have learned that it's in my best interest to pay attention when things like this keep showing up. The work of Slim Spurling in particular keeps popping up. I read his book last year and thought I would like to experiment with his light life rings. The acupuncturist I see uses the tools in sessions with me and I felt a real difference. Something that is hard to put into words.

So to make a long story short, I finally bought some of the tools. They arrived last week and I have been playing with them. I have a larger ring and a personal harmonizer which came with a sacred cubit and lost cubit 1/2 ring I have been wearing on my wrist. So anyway, I go to this grid workshop and the guy who is teaching, it turns out, is from Colorado and knew Slim Spurling and one of the grids is from that same work. (Slim unfortunately passed away this past November.)

So anyway I am very stoked about what I learned and am looking forward to building grids in my home for balancing and healing and creating sacred space. I had been making grids in the form of Native American Medicine Wheels and didn't even know it!

The 811rv has been going wonderfully. I had a breakthrough when I found out there was sea salt in the toothpaste I was using. Can you believe THAT was why I couldn't lose the cravings! I stopped using the toothpaste and haven't had cravings since!

So I was going to write about Montana in this post but I have run out of time and will have to save that for another post.
