Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Yes, I miss Saijen, too. I suppose it's easier to be on Facebook, and her family is there, as well. The Porch feels lonely without her, though.

  emoticon

No last-minute sign-ups but lots of encouragement. I will send out a final email tomorrow, letting people know I'll still accept sign-ups until Thursday. (Group call on Saturday, and they should have done one exercise or it'll be useless.)

But even if nobody else signs up, I'm being paid to create this program, and I can run it again next year, with even better marketing. So, yes, it's a lot of work, but it won't be wasted. (And I love the participant, I've met her in person.)

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Facebook is an evil abductor of friends. Too many people say they have no time to post in a forum, but spend hours on facebook.. This used to be a good forum with a lot of activity, now it is getting empty.

GOOD TUESDAY MY FRIENDS!!!

WOW...did we have a nice thunderstorm pass through here about 7pm last night. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! I sat outside on the back deck watching the lightening just zip around all over the sky. Huge jagged bolts coming down and LOUD..freaking LOUD thunder! Can you guess I love thunderstorms? Hubby said the cats were hiding, it was so loud...We just don't get them like that here much, totally enjoyed myself!
 Anywho....need to grab a shower and do laundry today. Might be "Girls day out tomorrow"....Other than that....there is always the national past time of WEEDING I could do! LOL Catch you all later...



Oh a couple of last night storm pics...wild colored sky and yes, this is what the sky really looked like, I did not manipulate it in any way!

FIRLE....I'm glad you like the one participant and I hope you have more who sign up by Thursday! But you are right...this is just the beginning. And it might be a good thing to get your feet wet with a small group! emoticon


Muladzh....that is why I NEVER have played games. Just saying hi to family and friends takes me about 15 minutes. But my Sister used to play Farmville for 4 to 5 hours a night....I decline every "game" app offer I get. Besides, when I'm gone...I'm out in nature taking pictures like above. NOW...she can make me leave any site! emoticon emoticon

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Games on a computer have a terrible effect on the psyche and energy of the player. They are designed as chaos, by people who have no thought for others, and destroy mind power as the hooked get sucked in to a vampiric vortex where everything within them is weakened.

Unfortunately the above paragraph is not part of some horror story, but the simple honest truth. I have seen once powerful magi reduced to simpletons by the effect of digital gaming. Roll player games are probably worse, and the shoot 'em up war games create most of the chaotic behaviour that is so common in society.

So, we have no chance. emoticon

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Queeny: Those are amazing pictures! Thank you for sharing them!

Muladzh: I believe that games are a way of keeping people stupid - at least the big computer games that really suck people in. People playing games won't learn about the real world, or have a political opinion, or do anything to improve their situation.

I'm less sure about table-top role playing, because that is a way of exercising the mind and imagination. It's also something done in a group with friends. Playing this kind of game started me on writing, in a long and winding way.

As for me, I'm feeling myself grow in mind and clarity following my trip to Atlanta and attending the coaching event. And of course, now things are starting to go wrong, because I'm no longer aligned with them.

For example, the EFT class that I was supposed to teach on Friday and Saturday was cancelled on June 3rd by the community college - but they forgot to tell me. I just found out today ...

Yesterday, my boss gave me the cold shoulder when I went to her office to say hi after my week off. Well, I hope I can say bye-bye to that job in the next months - decision will come at the end of the year, and then quarterly.

On the other hand, I had the best riding lesson in LONG while with Lennox. I believe he can feel my clarity (and the spurs I was wearing but using sparingly). I didn't have to whack him once, and we even managed a jump twice. (With me hanging on for dear life over the first one, heheh. There might be pics. Fear them.)

So, clarity is good, and I really want to grow my income through EFT and my ebooks.

Oh, the next ebook is set to come out in the next few weeks. They are almost done with the formatting. I've already seen the cover draft, and it's great. emoticon There will be a blog post about it, and I'll link you up once it's online.

And now this tired (and happy) horsie is heading off to bed. emoticon

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Summer is finally coming. We're supposed to go up to 26C on Wednesday - only to have thunderstorms and rain on Thursday, and a return to temps slighly below 20C.

But it's nice to get a taste of summer.

I'm busy writing content for my entrepreneurs' class, and learning more and more about marketing my skills as EFT practitioner. It's exciting, because I'm only learning through the help of others how valuable my skills really are.

Also, my new ebook, "Pu'ukani's Song" is almost ready for publication. I'm getting excited about that!

Here's a link to a blog post presenting the cover: Cover Reveal: Pu’ukani’s Song by Hannah Steenbock

Well GOOD MONDAY my Friends!
 Was on line much earlier, but had to run. Mom and Dad wanted me to ride along to help them pick up their new riding lawnmower. And then Dad treated us to coffee... emoticon Any who, had a wonderful weekend. Saturday, we picked Mom and Dad up at about noon, and headed to Boise. Shopped a bit, went and relaxed in the gorgeous Julia Davis Rose Garden (where I got quite a few nice pictures.) Then we took the guys to Golden Corral for dinner, they had all you could eat chicken wings and ribs. The boys were in heaven... Then Sunday, cleaned in the morning and Mom and Dad came over here for a BBQ....steaks, grilled zucchini, peppers, salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. All in all a wonderful weekend and a very nice Fathers day.
Hope you all had a good one. emoticon

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


I am here.....and I am terribly sorry. Yes, I seem to be on FB quite a bit, but many times, while it's up, I am actually doing other things, posting as I can between dealing with other things with the Arts Council and all that has fallen into my lap since our President in on hiatus, tending to his newly found family (he found out he was a Daddy!!!) until 'she' gets out of nursing school and they can move back to TN from FL. Our VP is doing well, but he's new to the council and has no idea how things run, and he's relying extremely heavily on me to help him....so, yes....I may seem visible on other medias, but I'm not always so visible as it appears.

Firle is also right...one reason I do spend the time there.....I have more access to my sister, mother, kids and grandkids and other biological family there, than even by phone or e-mail. So it has, unforunately, become the way we communicate and stay in touch with each other. I do not always like it, but that's how it goes. I would rather do that than not have the communication at all.

The only person (now..again) here, that is not on FB is Muladzh, so I had figured that at least you would know I am OK, and just really busy with things.

As posted there.....DH and I have been in an extensive search for another farm dog....you would not believe the time and effort that has gone into this. A trip to North Carolina, we've gone to area shelters in person, and have delved into shelters/rescues within a 150 mile radius of where we live. I have spent a LOT of time on this, simply because my DH can't seem to navigate the computer as easily as I do, and he gets frustrated and asks me to do it.
Even though we adopted a dog this past Saturday, it seems he still wants to look for yet another *sigh* This does not make me happy. I have enough else to deal with right now.

DH and I spent approximately 9 hours this past Wednesday at the theatre cleaning out the office and getting a desk in there. While there, I also had to deal with a website domain name issue for the Arts Council....our webmaster came by to help. It has seriously been one thing after another, and many times that I am on FB it's to get someone's immediate attention to a situation that I have no clue how to handle. I apologize if you all felt abandoned...I certainly would not completely leave...not without saying something and handing ownership of the board back to Firle...and since I don't plan on leaving.....that's not a concern emoticon Just please, understand that, in some ways, FB is a way for me to get info out (talk with family, etc), but also I don't have to really THINK to post. Here, I wish to put more effort into my posts, and I've simply not had the energy lately. I've not even done my family e-mails regularly, which is unusual for me...as I was writing daily. Now, they are lucky if they get one actual e-mail from me every 3-4 weeks. I am just so busy with trying to keep things going with the council...and us not lose any ground that it's taking a bit of a toll on me...but I refuse to stop. This council...the theatre...mean a lot to me, and I made a vow to myself that I would do all in my power not to let it go under as long as I had a voice there.
So, please, know that I am not ignoring any of you....I am not leaving....I am not just sloughing off.....I am simply just about in over my head and treading water to keep my nose from going under.

On the gaming issue....for many, the games are a way to escape reality for a bit...but many of the games are too violent and I don't approve. I do play games when I am so overwhelmed with things that I need something mindless to do....I rather like the hidden object games...something to keep my mind a bit sharp. For those who sit for hours upon hours playing games....I can't do that. It would wear me out! My son-in-law is one that can..and does, and I simply don't get it.

Muladzh...it was wonderful to talk to you earlier today!!! I am happy that you and Frog will be heading out tomorrow...and very much look forward to finally getting to meet you both!! And her Chihuahua, too! emoticon

Firle...it sounds as if the Atlanta trip was just what you needed to help you be more sure of yourself, and the direction you wanted to go in! I am so pleased that it turned out to be so productive for you!!! You are exuding more confidence than I've seen from you in a long time!! It's very evident in your posts...and as Queeny said elsewhere.... I can 'feel it'!!!

Queeny....those photos are amazing! the colors are just mind blowing!!! I particularly like the one with the rainbow!!

I don't see how people can sit and play those games on FB....half the time they don't work as noted by so many posts of those friends who do play. I tried playing Gardens Of Time, but got frustrated very quickly with it, so just decided no more. I'll stick to the ones I get on CDs and do rather enjoy....but don't play very often unless I just can't sleep. They tend to make me very drowsy...LOL. I've not played much lately. I've not had time for even that small pleasure...and when I do have some down time, I have my nose in a book..usually sitting outside under a tree! Normally, that is where I would be right now...but felt I needed to at least explain myself here, and let you all know why I've not been in for so long.

I don't think FB or games is why we have lost so many members....I think it has more to do with actual life and the need to tend to that, over sitting at a computer for any length of time socializing...be it here, or elsewhere. For so long now, it has pretty much just been me, Firle, Texas, Queeny and you, Muladzh...then you left for a while, and it was just the 4 of us....and it was discussed about closing the board down all together at one point. It was decided not to. We felt we needed to just hang on here as best as we could. And...we're very small...but still here!!!

I will try to do better on posting...but know that if I don't...yet you see me on FB...I am not choosing one over the other.....it is simply the easiest way for me to communicate with the majority of the people I hold dear in my life. I will not make a promise I may not be able to keep....so I will simply say that I will post when I am able and my brain is functioning well enough to make a sensible post.

Re: JUNE CHATTER....


Saijen! *dances and swings Saijen into a round with her!*

It's so good to see you posting here!

 emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

But you do sound very much put on and slightly incoherent. I'm so sorry you have so much piled on you.

At least now you have Benny, and maybe your DH will learn to be content with him for now. You need a rest, it's totally clear to me.

*sends lots of hugs*

I'm moving along in my journey to refocus my marketing. We are all encouraged to have a Valuable Free Offer, to entice people to sign up to the mailing list. Well, I have a tapping intro and guide book up there that's about 30 pages. I'm learning that's a) too big and b) too valuable to just give away.

So I'm thinking about converting that EFT guide to a real ebook to sell through Amazon, and of course, that means I have to create another VFO. My ideal clients are stressed entrepreneurs, so I'm thinking of a video and audio tapping round for getting some good sleep. Audio so they can listen to it in bed.

What do you think? Would that be valuable? Would people give me their email addy to have that?

Oh Saijen, I know you was busy, I just said I missed you. emoticon

I'd rather hang with just 4 good friends here than a thousand unknown people anywhere, any day. emoticon
