Manifestations

Today was spent at home, since Rich took the van as his alternator decided to crap out yesterday. So hopefully he’ll get it fixed 2nite when he gets home. He’s had more trouble with his car. Last month, a deer, this month, ice and an other truck, now, the alternator. What next?? Personally, I think he’s really wanting another vehicle and hence, spirit is trying to get him one—one which he won’t get until this one dies or totals out. That’s how I got my new red caravan. I rode in a friends new red Dodge caravan and just LOVED everything about it—the room, the better road vision, the upright seating—and started thinking about how much I really disliked how painful my back was after sitting in the bucket seats of the prism or cavalier (I’m not a car person, it was low and reclining and blue) and how I couldn’t see very well, and how I missed my caravan(s), and started wishing (not really consciously though, just ho-hum, but with feeling) that I had a red caravan that I could get in and out of easier too (I was 4 months prego with Rowan) and wouldn’t you know it, I totaled the car. Had to get a new one. Wasn’t even thinking about red caravans when I went looking, just needed something NOW and Cheap. It occurred to me about a week after getting the van that it was exactly what I had pictured. Didn’t plan it. But that stuff ALWAYS happens to me. I trust in it and know, deeply and truly know, that I will get exactly what I need, and often what I want, when I ask. I’ll get off-handed wishes quite frequently too. Like the parking space right next to the cart return. Or someone gifts me something I need, without them even knowing I needed it, like light bulbs. They just overwhelmingly thought of me and wanted to send it to me. It’s actually quite a great way to live, having no fear. I know if I need anything, anything, it will come. Anything. Huge load off.

So I’m expecting a new car for Rich in the near future. One with heat and snow tires and front wheel drive and maybe not so much power as what he has now. (He’s quite aggressive on the road when alone, and too speedy for his own good. I sooo worry every time he goes anywhere!)And better than affordable—more along the lines of ‘leaving a bit extra without losing quality.’—in other words inexpensive to get and keep, but not because it’s junk but because of some higher power reason, like our standard of living going up or something. Winning the lottery. (Course it helps to play if you want to win.) We’ll see what happens.

Tris had scouts 2nite. I love scouts; they learn so many useful skills: how to use a knife safely, how to build fill-in-the-blank, how to work together to achieve a common goal, how to include everyone, how to be loyal, trustworthy, brave, helpful, cheerful, obedient, and kind, leather works, knots, beadwork, crafts, fire building, fire starting, general safety for numerous situations, what to do in emergencies, CPR and first aid. You name it, there’s probably an area in scouts that covers it. Even health and food, although Tris’s scout handbook totes the FDA food pyramid as healthy. I was so proud when they cut out pictures of what they (the scouts) each ate and placed the pics in their own pyramids. Tristen had lots-o-fruits n veggies. Good on ya, son.


Today Rowan ate:
Oatmeal w/ honey
Almond milk with hemp oil
Cut up orange and banana sprinkled w/ chia seeds
green smoothie-mango, pineapple, herb mix, kelp
brownie bites
munched on “ca-krs”—the crunchy pieces of romaine
more smoothie


It’s so funny to see other peoples’ reactions when they see Rowan munching on plain raw broccoli or cucumbers, like it’s the strangest thing in the world to see a baby eat raw veggies. LOL.
