JOMO for the win!

FOMO? No way! JOMO!

We live in a fast paced society surrounded with all the latest high tech gadgets and all the social media one could dream of.  Everywhere we turn, a friend, i.e. virtual friend, is sharing their latest travels, promotions, engagements, weddings, new children, old children, and on and on and on.  You get the point. While we sit behind our keyboards and view these exciting posts, one may start to re-evaluate what he or she has going on, and then start to get anxiety, depressed, or begin to spend money to keep up with the online Jones.

Sure, I did the re-evaluating thing for a minute or two as well.

But then... I realized I really do not have FOMO, or fear of missing out.  I have JOMO, joy of missing out. Would I like to travel more and have exciting ventures to post about? Sure! But my most exciting venture is just living my life enjoying my career and extremely active two year old. I love coming home after a busy day in the office to enjoy my child as she jumps from couch to chair becoming a superhero, eats a very messy dinner, transforms into a mermaid in the bath, and then heads off to dreamland. Someday when my child is a little older and can sit still for more than a millisecond, I will drag her to fun events and exciting travels and post all about them. Until then, I will enjoy all of your exploits posted from the comfort of my own home while trying to sip my tea out of my toddler's reach.

Lionsgate 8/8/18

Lion's Gate is here! What exactly is this in astrological terms, you ask? Lion's Gate portal opening occurs annually during the astrological sign of Leo, i.e. the name lion.  Each year on August 8, the portal known as Lion's Gate opens. This event is a cosmic alignment between the planet Earth, the star Sirius, and the Galactic Center. To be exact, Sirius, the brightest star we can see from Earth, lines up directly with the pyramids in Giza. In ancient time, the Nile river rose in response to this event signifying abundance. This alignment allows an influx of cosmic energy flow between the physical and spiritual realms. When all three shift into alignment, a period of awakening and accelerated ascension begins. The number eight represent balance between the material and immaterial worlds. This is a time for solar plexus work to regain our balance, confidence, and energy. Release your over-stressed self! Take this to time reflect on big things such as relationships, ca

Remembering my Gratitude - Friday Reflections

Friday Reflections - Remembering my Gratitude In my line of work and lifestyle, Fridays are a perfect time for reflection on the week. Generally, I'm finishing up my work week with no Saturday excitement or Sunday blues to distract me. Today I work on remembering gratitude. Yes, I read self-help books, listen to podcasts, take the classes, and try meditation - more on meditation at a different time, but now is the time to practice what I learn. Life gets busy with work and kids and all the expectations placed upon us, therefore; I find that I need to stop everything, breathe, listen to my body and mind, and be thankful. While drowning in life's ciaos, it is very easy to forget all of our blessings. Let's face it, being an accountant, even in the entertainment industry, is not a glamorous career. After a long day of being submerged in numbers and inundated with clients' constant questions and complaints, I come home to my two year old. Now as a single mom by choice
Thoughts on Lammas... This is the time of year we begin to harvest what we sow during spring planting, therefore; Lammas is recognized as first harvest. These spring plantings may be what grows in our fields and flowerbeds or may be the seed you have planted to manifest something within yourself or in your life. We celebrate and give thanks for the work we have done. Today meals shall contain breads and grains. Sacred spaces, homes, and offices will be decorated with lovely  fall colors of pale yellow and gold, deep orange, green, dark red. Fill your space with beautiful colors and fragrance incense, flowers, herbs such as cedarwood, cinnamon, ginger, poppies and sunflowers. Take today to glory in the work you have put in thus far in 2018. I leave you with Lammas blessings as I sit and gaze at my lovely sunflowers.
