Beautiful Advice from the Goddess Isis

And sacred is my light that dwells in the depth of your soul. Daughter you are a vessel of magick where strength and determination can grow. Arise in your wisdom and power, leave behind a past of uncertainty.

I don’t speak to Isis directly; I found this on Facebook. I am a lover of all gods and goddesses, of all cultures. They are to me representations of the Beloved, the Source . . .call it what you will. That which is bigger than we are. That which is in us and through us.

The Egyptian Book of the Dead says, “There is no part of me that is not of the Gods”.

When you believe that; truly believe it, illness seems a little less daunting.

Everyday Bucket List

•February 1, 2010 • Leave a Comment

I think everybody should have a daily bucket list. A list with at least two fun thing on it that you WILL accomplish before you go to sleep at night. Why wait until you’re too old or sick to really enjoy it, or want to do it again but can’t? That would just suck.

For tomorrow, I am going to sign up for some CD classes to listen to in the car. The reason for this is threefold: 1) I love to learn new things.  2) learning new things prevents some of the deterioration of dementia. 3) Driving makes me very nervous, and learning something will keep my mind off fear and on something useful.

I am also going to get a manicure. I haven’t had a manicure in . . .well, I just don’t know. This will make me feel as if I’m kind of taking care of myself. If I’m feeling really wild, they can do a pedicure, too!

So that’s something for my brain and something for my body.

The next day, Tuesday . . .getting my teeth cleaned. I know that doesn’t sound like a fun bucket list thing, but it is for me, because my jaw joints are so tender it’s hell to have dental work done. This time, dammit, I’m gonna suck it up and git her done. I’ll be so proud of myself after I do it. Then maybe some acupuncture.

I have a class on Wednesday, so I’m not sure what my other bucket list thing will be. I’ll get back to you.
