chick peas cooking smell like farts
I can't write that , can I   ?
It would have made a nice title though.
Ah well,
I've soaked chick peas and kidney beans for 10 hours and now cooking them for later use in savourie and dips.
Lentils too.
I'm all set to create wonderful healthy dishes, but my home smells ...er.....a bit stale

I'm falling asleep here ...peace zzzzzzzzzzzzzz night night and sleep well ... sweet dreams all !

Wot ? I hear you ask are they ? People have been asking. I wrote a long explanation for Lu the other day and then could not find it ... but now it's turned up, so here's Mira's impromptu understanding of a wot a vision bored board is.

 Vision boards are personal , visual representations of your goals , dreams, ambitions, projects ... in fact anything you wish to manifest or create .

They can be works of art  ....or not. Some are more like diagrams.  Each vision board is unique just as the process of creating it is unique. So allow your creativity to flow uncensored and have fun.

You need a board , stiff paper or canvas of a decent size.

Meditate, pause , reflect before you begin about its purpose and your goals .What is it that you want to create ?  What does the vision of your ideal life look like ? If you can imagine it , you are halfway there.

- love , relationships
- health, well being ,
- family
- finances
- home
- leisure
- passion ...etc etc

Brainstorm ... write down words phrases affirmations for each. Keep it all positive. Turn negative things around to be positive. Trick is to include what you WANT and not what you don't want in your life .. leave that out.

Then take a pile of magazines, the more varied the better and start cutting , tearing out anything that attracts your attention.

Select those bits that evoke your vision or dream. Play around with them for a while. Finally , put it all together on the board - the idea is to put on that board what you want to manifest in your life.

Allow the board to evolve
Put your created Vision Board somewhere where you can see it often. Mine's in my bedroom so I see it before I fall asleep and when I wake up. But you could also have it in your office. Each time you glance up at it  you will be reminding yourself ... prgramming yourself as it were.. towards your goal.

Get the idea ?

Have fun xx

Today has started well. I feel happy and inspired.
Today is Johanna's birthday - I've just sent her a greeting and a reading which I might share later.

1 Tishrei, 5769

Rosh Hashanah Day 1

Love's philosophy

fficial%26hs%3D10d%26sa%3DN">

There's a  New Moon today , which is good for beginnings.
I've made intentions and a mental      list of things to do
 
Take geranium plant cuttings. This just might be the year when I succeed. I was so close to success last year. They grew roots but died when they hit the soil. See pics in media if you don't believe me .

Made an appointment for my annual visit to the gynocologist . He's nice . Meno has inspired me, He's in for a surprise.

I've started another starter - leaven - spelt and ryhe flour

Also , going to the hairdressers tomorrow for a trim.Can't do a thing with it ... you know how that is .... that certain stage of annoyance , that has been  invented by hairdressers. 

fficial%26hs%3D10d%26sa%3DN">

That's it for now ,

Still using leaven that I started a month ago and now refresh once a week..
No yeast added.
It's been proving all day and now 40 minutes in the oven at 250 C and then 175C
Tastes good .
Not sure about the texture , but then that is probably because I didn't knead it very long.

Night night 

A fruit fly has just tried to fly up my nose

I may just have a bottle glass of wine

I hope you are all enjoying your evening.*cheers*

Naked blogging.
Blogging naked.
The naked truth.
I'z been doing it since I got up today.
Going to put a stop to it now.

 Defence is the first act of war. If you tell me that I'm mean , rejecting , hard , unkind, unfair, I say , " Thank you , sweetheart, I can find all these things in my life. I have been everything you say, and more. Tell me everything you see , and together we can help me understand. Through you , I come to know myself. Without you , how can I know the places in me that are unkind and invisible ? You bring me to myself. So , sweetheart , look into my eyes and tell me again.I want you to give me everything ." 

From : I need your love - is that true ? by  Byron Katie 

 

 

Visiting the past with the strength we have in the present allows us to work through our history in a much healthier and neutral way. Because the past can bring up so many strong emotions, it is easy for us to get weighed down by the things that happened or the decisions we made. Going back with the knowledge we have right now, however, lets us replay things differently, often seeing that there were many more things happening than we imagined at the time. As you look on your past with new eyes today, you will gain greater insights about your life patterns.

Good idea
Take " the responsisble wise adult " to meet " the vulnerable confused child"

Three times in the past hour while posting here on BCUK Mozilla Firefox crashed !!!

*glum face*

Fortunately both sessions could be restored.
*happy face*

WOTS going on ??

Anyone else having problems ?

Have you ever considered the fact that criticism from others can be a gift ?

Criticism can be a gift. It does not have to be constructive , either. In fact , with the right attitude the more destructive the better Bring it on , baby ! Thinking this way almost makes me look forward to criticism in order to practice these things and find out stuff about myself while I'm at it . I find this an exciting thought. Don't you ?

!2:40 and I am about to have breakfast.
Morning spent on the phone listening to a friend who simply needed to ventilate her frustration and overwhelm; a dysfunctional relationships and things connected to arranging her father's funeral.

Heard from Lina that her grandmother , Meets passed away peacefully in her sleep, 11:30 am yesterday. Bless her soul with eternal peace , love and light. Meets is Home. Oddly enough I don't feel sadness any more , just deep love and peace and compassion for Lina and Maarja. Lina has lost a Grandmother and Maarja her Mother. Separation and loss are so painful.I shall miss Meets, but I am so grateful to have known her.

In other news, I've been invited out to dinner tonight.

And now , before anything else .. breakfast. TTFN.. read you later xx

Before I go any further, I simply must
pause,
and remind myself to breathe......
before going into stream of consciousness writing
I am feeling happy , playful and inspired
and can't help thinking that my present lightheartedness might have something to do with viewing Story Water's meaning of life video ( see yesterday's post )
Dug out Story's book " The Messiah Seed" last night, dipped in and read before drifting off to sleep and again this mornining on waking.
I do believe that , somehow, there is built in transformation in that lad's words

ACCEPTANCE of what is , first

To experience something at different speeds is to experience with different results

Faster is not better than slower, it is just different.

And what is TIME but the acceptance and allowing of the experience of becoming.

Right then .. on with Friday
Happy continuance to all  

Moving towards midnight I would like to leave you with Jung's beautiful mandala.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Story Waters has summed up the meaning of life in 700 words in this video and I've been playing thisclip over and over again and passing it on.
