The KIF Project

acts of kindness, kindness is free, the KIF project by Sonic

The KIF project is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately, for the past few years in fact. It works on the same principals as paying it forward. Except that this project isn’t based on someone elses good deeds, or sparked because someone did something good for you. It will be projected BECAUSE of you, by you, every week, once a week, for the rest of your lives.

KIF stands for kindness is free. It doesn’t matter why, or how, who or where. Pick one day of the week. Pick one act, pick one subject matter be it the environment, a neighbor or a loved one.

One idea
One day
One act of kindness

That’s all it takes, and it begins with you. I have incorporated the KIF mentality into the fabric of my every day life. My family and friends are the benefactors. Making one person smile counts! It’s not about money, materialism, or self fulfillment. If you could be anonymous and do one thing in your life for someone or better the environment what would you do?

Would you recycle just one garbage bag? or a metal can? What impact would it make on this earth if one million people recycled just one soda can a week?

Big results, small deeds, just you.

Namaste

I hear you all the time

life is good

Things around the wood shop have slowed to a crawl this season. I am hoping for the best, and taking the ‘clients are in a good place’ stance on that one lol. Not only that but it’s really the winter/spring when everyone feels like renewing themselves. I’ve had some time this season to catch up and actually FINISH my projects at home. Renovations are done, landscaping is done, and I [dare to dream] have even begun a healthy relationship with a very kind hearted like mind soul that even I can’t believe at times. I am still in contact with spirits from the other side, mainly children. How I encounter their presence is quite another story. My professional life is good. My home life is good. My familial and friendships are going strong, ticking away like they should. It’s a weird timing in the cosmic calendar, and I for one will not rock the boat.

How is your life going?
Namaste

Todays question..something to ponder for yourself

6 of wands, kindling the soul, tarot card success

Today was a more important day than most others I supposed and it is a rare moon indeed when I ask my own cards questions. Tonight happened to be one of those times. In response I pulled the Success card.

This is a good news card that indicates after a lot of hard work and difficulties; you are now beginning to achieve the success you dreamed of, one that is recognized by other people. This can mean that you have gained some qualifications, a promotion at work, have won a race you trained for, had an exhibition of your paintings or have performed your music in public to general acclaim. Spiritually this is the flame that warms and nurtures and although it can lead you into the realms of pure joy, for though the spirit must sometimes be tempered by hardship, it must also be kindled by ecstasy.

I do not need acclaim or recognition. What struck a chord within, was the message of spirit. “for though the spirit must sometimes be tempered by hardship, it must also be kindled by ecstasy.”

Usually when something goes right for us, we are humbled, appreciative and happy.  I think I’m going to have to do a little more soul searching to kindle with ecstasy.  I’m usually only blissfully happy in those moments of linear time when the wind hits my face, the sun comes out from the clouds, the rain pounds on my window to say hello or the warmth from a fire reaches my legs.

Life is god…<that was a typo, and yet somehow nothing is an accident>…

2009 Animal Totems-Be a Frog

Tags

2009 affirmation, 2009 animal totem, animal totems, new year resolution

Natalie asked for a full reading the other day and I sensed she really needed the extra guidance. It is not uncommon for me to pull extra outcome cards or animal/path totem cards to provide more insight for them. The more knowledge *I* have the more they get. I don’t care about money or “the order” they requested. But Natalies guides showed her that her animal totem was the frog. Being fascinated by the outcome of the reading, I thought I would share with you the lesson of this particular totem. So many people use the “new year resolution” as a crutch. Resolutions are like diets, no one really sticks to them. You need a self affirmation that is as flexible as water. You need to change your thinking, thus the lesson of the frog:

The frog says that it’s time to clean house and get rid of the clutter in your environment, your head, and your heart. Move out any objects, thoughts, or relationships that hold you back. It’s time to get rid of anything that clutters your life or your space with unwanted burdensome energy or anything that weights heavily on your heart. Look around you and take stock of what surrounds you. Does what you see hold positive supportive energy? If not, it’s time to throw it away and release it so that it, in turn will release you from its influence. When the frog appears, it’s always spring and time for cleaning your house so you can allow new and fresh energy to enter into your world. When you release something back into the cosmic, you are giving the universe a green light to allow bigger and better energies onto your path.

When you make room in your life, the universe is able to fill that space with more wonderful things to come.  You must make the effort.  I wish you all the love and joy a new year could bring.  Most of all I wish you all peace.

The human ego

Tags

ego, self-love, vanity

I went to dinner with my ex last night. I have to tell you, it was a humbling experience. I have been reading the path to love by Deepak Chopra. I’m into a heady chapter about the ego. Anyway, amidst the disappointment/therapeutic discussions [because we’re human, not super human] at one point the emotional spoils got the best of me and I thought to myself for an instant “he doesn’t deserve me”. I did say this to him but I prefaced it with “now this is the ego talking which cannot be right but normally I would say….”. And after the preface and statement was made, I realized and expanded upon it. He does in fact deserve someone exactly like me. Someone who will love him for who he is. Including his ways, mannerisms, physical appearance, everything. Everyone deserves to be loved solely for who and what they are as a whole. Everyone deserves that joy. Allowing myself to remove the ego for that one moment provided years of clarity. Ego is used to mask so many different things.

When you stop and think about everything Ego has to say, you slowly realize why it talks so much. Because the ego hides every vulnerability underneath. Own up to your own vulnerabilities and love them for they are a part of you. If you can do that, you’ve just knocked your ego down a peg, therefore reducing it slowly [hopefully] to an idealistic non existence.

Ego and Vanity are bedfellows. They enjoy each others company and destructively go hand in hand. Do not displace self worth by labeling it with vanity and ego. There is nothing healthy about a touch of either of them. Self worth, self appreciation and self love however are priceless.

Coincidence or confirmation-Can’t I just take a nap?

demons, evil, possession, the devil on earth

Lately I have not felt right in my own skin.  Something once again is about to change.  A new life chapter.  Change weather good or bad is like a bus.  It can come every 15 minutes and if you miss the last one sure enough just sit tight, another will come along.  You can ignore it, you can embrace it, but either way you choose you cannot stop it.  Thus setting up future events and opportunities even I cannot foresee with intuition or a crystal ball.  Have you noticed that it can hit you like a freight train?  I have been completely run over in the last two weeks, and run down.  My cards are out of balance and the mind will not stop.

Here is the question of the day.  Do you learn from your past?  Are you able to process the thoughts as soon as they come into focus and perspective.  Time is the only thing that allows this.  Several years ago I was a paranormal investigator and may I add a good one.  It was very important to me to debunk the nonsense, rule out or explain by medical or technological sciences the happenings I would be called for.  I am not an expert in any one field.  But I have skills developed from the past that have lead me to where I am today.  This morning I received some shocking news about an old friend and her family.  The long and the short of the story is about demonic possession.  She and I had not kept contact for one reason or another and not by coincidence she did manage to find me again.  She started looking, and here she was on my voicemail.  Clearly there is guidance to be had on both parts.  The choices we make today or tomorrow will have longstanding consequences.

I am not a warrior of the Divine, that would be too extreme of a length to take.  Without going into gory details of someone elses life, help is needed.  But am I the person to administer it?  And which type of help would it be?  Other investigators, demonologists, and ministers are already involved.  Whatever the outcome of the saga is-we must tread lightly.  Widsom above all else tells me to keep my eyes and ears open because it is at such time that I must make a decision.  I must also caution anyone reading this that it is not a simple case of chalking it up to drama BUT I must warn you-there is also cause and effect working here.  Laws of attraction are also in play.  Do you take the bystander role or do you get involved.  No matter what I say or do, this situation will continue just like a freight train.  You individually must stay off the tracks, and pick a side.  Which would you choose?

psychic predictions

In the past 30 days, I have found myself increasingly more aware and trustful of the intuition. Many situations have arisen in which I made predictions. All of them having to do with dates, numbers, or financial figures. Every week [at least twice during] this has happened. I guessed the amount of money acquired by the sale of a home, predicted and dated the birth of a child, the outcome of a phone call to customer service before the call was made, and various other oddities. None of these seem to be extraordinary. Honestly anyone with a keen sense of the world and how things work could easily come up with a similar guess right? Not at all. Not to the penny, point and accuracy of these predictions. I’m not saying I am a sylvia brown. She’s an incredibly aware soul and on an entirely different level. I am reaffirming to the universe that I am ever more so aware of what is happening around me, and building a higher sense of thankfulness, thoughtfulness and trust within the Divine. Did I also mention I predicted the amount of my girlfriends raise and bonus last Christmas? And that was to the PENNY as well. No coincidence here either. I’m just listening to the little voice inside.

I am going to have to do more research on this and try to find numeric divination affinity information if any and or why I would be so attuned to this. Then again, it may be just another splinter side effect of the path.

I have a woodpecker

animal spirits, animal totems

I was up early over the weekend, fighting a viral infection that has plagued me on and off for the better of two months now.  After the passing of a relative in mid February I have just been warn down.  I have been in this flat for the better of 6 months now and sat many a morning at this window.  And suddenly, there it was.  The unmistakable pecking right outside my window.  In the early morning all you hear are the birds.  Calling back and forth, having a great time before the humans get up and bunk up their day.  I looked but I couldn’t see him.

Woodpeckers forecast prophecy, magic power, and are a warning for rain.  I had three phoebe moments that weekend and wrote all of them down.  One on Friday, and dreams Saturday and Sunday night.  I believe it strange that people conveniently link the magic of the universe to suit their own lives.  What timing and coincidence no?    That was completely tongue and cheek.  You know better than that.  I cannot manipulate the universe to suit my own needs I can only ask, and be aware of the gifts as they are presented.  The bear and the woodpecker have become very important to me in the last year.

What are your animal totems?  Namastae

Tarot readings-everyone is different

Contrary to what most people believe, reading tarot for people changes with the individual.  The gifts do not come in the same form time after time.  I do not hear the same words reading after reading.  Sometimes I am given so much more information from the Divine for client A.  While client B gets such a quiet response I could almost hear crickets chirping.  I have also postponed readings until further notice if my gut says ‘nah this isn’t right’ and just put the cards away.  I can’t tell you how it works or why it works, just that it most certainly does work!

One card can provide a lot of information for someone.  While 10 cards can paint a years worth of path canvas.  It all depends on what you want it to do.  The standing joke with my significant other is “you gotta want it!” and then we laugh miserably at each other but it holds some truth.   You have got to want it

Words to remove from your vocabulary this year

Tags

accomplishment, determination, remove negativity

Very recently I experienced a great life lesson.  Not all life lessons are bad, and all are most assuredly needed and planned.  I stated in an earlier post somewhere in the blog that if you want something bad enough, you can achieve it.  You need motivation, drive and most importantly belief in oneself.  Instant getification and fighting the good fight is part of a daily routine around here.  After all you are the only one on this earth that takes care of you right?  Wrong..  The cosmos takes care of us as well.  I have no doubt my dream will become a reality.  Just not this year.

The word to remove from your vocabulary this month, is defeat.  Let no individual, circumstance, or happenstance come between you and your dreams.  Everything happens for a reason.  Try to learn from it.  God knows I do.

Peace
