PS I just noticed something else about this phenomenon of flow. ACCEPTANCE--which ZOE says below!--seems to be part and parcel of the magic. In the case of the lawn, I accepted that I would mow it and decided on a target date to do so. No mas guilt. In another scenario, I've had no running water for nearly 24 hours. It's pouring, and chilly (only 72 degrees!), on the Gulf today. I didn't think the well water pro guy would show up. I accepted that I would be dealing with the situation until at least Monday, since I work tomorrow, and that I might not even have water for days after that if whatever parts are needed for the well pump aren't available (because of you-know-who and the closing of the Keystone Pipeline and the cost of transporting goods, etc.). I've lived without running water before (for 7 years), so I plugged into that mind-set. I looked up a few minutes ago and came to find the Water-Pro guy is already here, working on the pump. I so thought he wouldn't show that I didn't even dress up. With luck, the H2O will flow again soon. "Curioser and curiouser."(It doesn't take much to awe me.)
Wow - you're on a roll Sister!!! I would challenge you on the comment that "it doesn't take much to awe me" - these are two (well understood) situations that absolutely should invoke awe. These are no mean feats at all! I think it's all about trust which I think is implicit in letting go and acceptance is also key in the trust process! Thanks a million for sharing these huge victories! It's very inspiring. xo
"Open-mouthed chin drop!" I had no idea. Hmm. Maybe my expectations are out of whack. I will self-reflect. BTW, I saw a comment of yours on YT (an astrological video, but I forget by whom), so I said hello. This occurred a few days ago.
LOL - on the Youtube vid - I'll look out for it. What is it you had no idea of? BTW, when I said "well understood" I was referring to the fact that you seem to understand the situation very well since you are explicating it so deftly!
I had no idea that these synchronicities, or whatever they are, are actually awe-inspiring. I thought I was being an easy mark interpreting them that way.
WOW - it doesn't come across that way though - it comes across as a profound understanding, albeit new! It's quite impressive, I assure you. If you think of it in terms of you are "remembering" the truth of your connection to all things, then it becomes clear why you're comfortable enough with the concepts as to easily describe them (hence, truly understand them IMO.)
How WONDERFUL! What is "spoxperson" and who said that letting go was easy? I think we all know that letting go is the most challenging thing to do and the most rewarding! That must be a really big lawn if you think 30 bucks is a reasonable amount. I'm super glad for both of you that you do though! Fantastic that these enterprising young boys still exist. Must be a Capricorn or Taurus or maybe a Cancer? I'd love it if you found out. LOL
"Spoxperson" is the way fake-news outlets abbreviate (hardly) "spokesperson." It's so fkn annoying! The entire property here is a quarter acre, so the front lawn is smaller than that. I know how difficult it is to mow wet grass (it is almost NEVER dry), so $30 feels good. I will remember to ask Marcel (not his real name) when his birthday is. I'll bet you're right with your educated guesses!!!!!!!
Wow - I guess I don't partake of mainstream news so I wouldn't know that. Of course it's annoying - it's just so faked - but since they're trying to make everything fake, real, this would fit right into it. LOL - well taking 3 guesses is cheating a bit! I hear you about wet grass. I did lawn care with a company that exclusively did lawns and on the wet mornings it was ridiculous!
I stopped watching any news at all circa 2008, so I hear you, my sistah. A college pal (who wrote his own obituary . . .) was a UPI (etc.) writer/reporter. He made me aware of it circa 1989. Talk about breaking your ass in a blue-collar job . . . . big props and respect to you!
WOW - I don't even know how to address all that! Your college pal who wrote his own obit - did he actually die? So you're saying that in 1989 they were using that term spoxperson? Surely I would have noticed that as I'm a huge lover of languages (well, used to be). That was not the only ass breaking job I've had. Straight out of a 4 years university degree with a double major of philosophy and comparative religions, (and it took me 6 years to complete because I worked the entire time) I was so OVER living in my head that I knew I had to go out and make a living using my body. Now I'm a massage therapist (for 17 years) which is the best of all possible worlds (à la Voltaire) - physical and energetic/ emotional and intellectual all at once. Grew up doing hard physical work as my dad was a Taurus and we had a big family and the ability to do hard work was considered a virtue.
"Spox" was used circa 1989 by AP writers. It didn't come into widespread parlance until circa 2017. Now it's used on Twat-X and other print mediums as well as in chyrons on TV news, including on station breaks/breaking news clips. And yes, Mark Mooney died in 2017, at age 66 (shortly before his 67th). He was a great guy and respected reporter. IMO, he should've lived to be at least 97! I loved hearing about your background. I think you might've found the perfect job. Every so often in my life, including in college, I have also taken on blue-collar or so-called dirty jobs. They're grounding, though the one I have now is too physically challenging, as my back has taken quite a beating for a variety of reasons. I recall someone else who is kind of like us: An ironworker I knew back during 2001 (he was a friend of my friends in Jersey City) said that he would work on Wall Street for several years, then leave and do steelwork. Both times when the WTC was attacked he was in his steelworker phase.

My intuition told me to read this article.
I'm glad I did :)
Ha--love it! 😄
