RE: What Chores do you detest most on a sunny Saturday morning?

..perhaps.....


hiya Mercedes

like you, i actually do like keeping the house clean. good chi (feng shui).
i won't go so far as to call it an addiction, but there's a zen to it some times that i really enjoy.

RE: Omnivores

just substitute tumeric...
and spend some of the money saved on a few bottles of wine.
and drink those before, during, and after dinner.
you'll be much happier.

RE: What do you respond if your ex texts you to say he/she found someone better?

hiya molly

my thinking...
he's already an ex. not my business anymore.
if he's found someone else, he's not interested in me.
who wants to be with someone who thinks they're settling to be with them?
not me....

i'd rather keep my special snowflake status and be with someone who chooses to be with me....

the fact that he texted....hmmm....
that speaks about him. no more, no less.
i don't have to take it on.
frankly...if someone sent me a text like that, i would be thinkin' along the lines of "whew...thank you, cuz someone i would want to be with wouldn't do that... (and yup, i would still wish them well). "

RE: What do you respond if your ex texts you to say he/she found someone better?

"If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater"
-buddha-

"i wouldn't text back, but i would take a moment and wish him well in my thoughts.
then i would let go (stop thinking about him)
and place my thoughts on my own happiness (be in the present)"

smiling with compassion..

RE: Name three things that you are grateful for today

i know you know this, but it's certainly worth repeating
....you are one of the folks that have helped me many times.

i am consciously grateful for your friendship. i hold you in such high regard (most likely more than you realize...grin)
you manage to act from your heart, and demonstrate kindness to the rest of us, and still maintain a special spark.

RE: Tarot card reading

i think there might be...dunno....

but one needs to be able to 'observe and listen', more than 'project'.
i have witnessed tarot readers inform folks of things/events....that could not of been known other than through some pyschic link. perhaps the tarot cards were simply a medium for the clairvoyant. i've also wondered if sometimes, there's some element of mental telepathy at work as well.

RE: Have you ever seen a ''true mircle'' in your past.......?

pedro... what do you mean by 'true' miracle.

yes, i have witnessed miracles that have impacted my life, and when i am thinking about them (as i am right now), they still leave me with a sense of awe.

but ya know...if one accepts that our perceptions create how we experience our reality, then the possibilities are limitless.

RE: Have you ever seen a ''true mircle'' in your past.......?

that sounds really interesting! we have time for a story.....(grin)

RE: Name three things that you are grateful for today

i am grateful for many things. i have been fortunate to have been blessed with an awesome life filled with talented friends, loving kindness, and adventure. i am grateful for the love of my brilliant partner, our lazy gray cat, and the sun is shining and keeping us warm.

i am consciously grateful for my son everyday as i understand the gift he is.

i am grateful for this site, as it has helped/supported me through some challenges over the years, and taught me a lot about being open, curious, and accepting.

RE: If you were a millionaire would you live a modest life?

much of the housing inflation in Vancouver is due to foreign buyers.

and no...we do not earn three times as much.
it really bothers me because folks like my son who works hard, will never be able to purchase their own home.
a simple two bdrm apt rents out for $2000/month.

so we can blame boomers, but really it's about so much foreign property buying and greed. (with many of those apts sitting empty effecting the rental market as well). BC brought in some taxing rules for foreign buyers, but it was too little, too late.
for many of the boomers, they can't afford to buy either in neighborhoods that they grew up in.

RE: If you were a millionaire would you live a modest life?

thank you, molly

RE: If you were a millionaire would you live a modest life?

RE: what truly turns you off

turns me off.. i'll go with what you said......

the wolf you feed, grows.

RE: If you were a millionaire would you live a modest life?

i live in Canada. in Vancouver, where the average home price is 1.3 million.

soooo....
what do you think?

with a million, i could pay some bills, helps some friends, and certainly reduce the financial pressure.
so yes, i would live a modest life with a little less stress.

RE: Distance...

i think long distance is difficult, and the expense can be a bit overwhelming.
i also think being open and curious, with a willingness to do those things that will help facilitate a happy outcome is necessary in any relationship.

having said that, nothing quite compares to the intimacy and acceptance of waking up with someone you love, and feeling their arms around you, and wanting you.... the quiet of the morning while sharing that first cup of coffee together knowing there is an U/us.

takes two, some give and take, and some commitment.

RE: What happens when we die?

i believe it will be whatever one thinks it will be.
so choose wisely.

better yet...
choose wisely right now,
and live consciously.
