What’s Next?

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on April 28, 2024 by JeanApril 28, 2024

What’s the focus for the next year?

I’ll keep working on renovating the house — I installed a new post and mailbox today. The old post rotted out. I have three sets of sturdy steps. The leak into the downstairs bathroom appears to be halted. On Monday, we’ll pull scaffolding out of the garage and get it set up behind the garage. The team will begin repairing the mistake of the contractor who built the garage in 2008. They installed the tongue and groove boards upside down on two walls. The guys will start at the top, remove each board, prime it, and reinstall it the proper way.

I’m still working on the shop to prepare for selling off unwanted items.

I’m also planning several motorcycle tours. I’ve been lamenting not being able to travel with Alan, but I bought a touring motorcycle, so I may as well tour on it.

I also plan to begin working on my fiction again.

These things should keep me busy and engaged for the foreseeable future.

Well, get yer credit card and head over to Lulu for the best quality version of Blackbirds Third Flight available. Go ahead. I’ll wait while you order. Then come back here and learn a little more about me.

2016 A-Z Challenge Reflections

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on May 10, 2016 by JeanMay 10, 2016
A-Z Challenge Reflections

Time for A-Z Challenge Reflections. I think this was my fifth year participating in A-Z. I’ll briefly discuss what I liked about the challenge, then I’ll look at some things where I could do better.

There’s a lot to like about this challenge:

  • Increased blog traffic — this is more noticeable in the first weeks of the challenge
  • I have fun putting together my posts each year and seeing who shows up
  • Each year the organizers get better at making things easier for us participants
  • I love the T-shirts
  • I think I did a better job of keeping my posts shorter this year
  • I enjoy visiting new blogs, learning about all the things people can discuss at length, and their creativity for doing so

 

To  do better, I need to do a better job of getting around to other blogs. I did a better job this year of visiting my neighbors on the list, and I think I visited everyone who commented on my blog and left a comment.

Thank you organizers and the rest of the team for coordinating everything.

Z: Zest

Philosophical Meanderings, Too Posted on April 30, 2016 by JeanApril 17, 2016

Participating in the Master Keys Mastermind Alliance has given me a renewed sense of zest for life. I’ve always felt I had some control over my destiny, but I’ve managed it imperfectly. Now I understand why, and, frankly, it was a little frightening sometimes, because I immediately began to see how my negative thoughts were manifesting in my life. I knew I needed tools to deal with some things in my future that were approaching, but I didn’t know how to deal with them. Throughout my life, I always looked eagerly to the future — too often at the expense of the present. I’d reached a point where I feared the future. This program immediately taught me how to eradicate that fear — it’s gone. More than that, it taught me how I can live for today and be better prepared for what the future brings. With that, comes the renewed zest.

You, too, can find that zest. Some of you may be wondering how this fits with your belief system. I think you’ll find it integrates quite well. In my case, my believe system is founded in Christianity. For me, this course showed me how to apply what I’d always been taught in church and Sunday School in ways the church never seemed able to do. I found this to be an incredibly positive and uplifting thing, and my spiritual life is much richer as a result. You may be in a different place in your life. I’m sharing where I was. But if there’s a nagging dissatisfaction somewhere, something that doesn’t feel quite right for you, I believe this course will help you find it and the solution. Everyone who participates does so with a Pay-It-Forward scholarship, so you have nothing to lose by giving it a look and much, much more to gain. Maybe a little more zest for your life?

Thank you for reading this month! I’m thankful for your visits. You don’t want to miss early notification for the next class. Please sign up for this email list which will provide several weeks of preliminary related materials to the Master Keys course and also put you on the early notification list for when the course opens in September. Signing up to the list earns you a free copy of the 7 Day Mental Diet. Please believe me when I say there is Nothing Like It.

Y: Yahoo

Who’s this yahoo in a Hawaiian shirt blathering on about Hawaii? Who cares about Hawaii? Now, Jean, I remind myself, Hawaii was their dream. It doesn’t have to be yours. They are talking about their dreams and how they came true using the information in this program. I reminded myself … Continue reading →

X: Xanthin

Xanthin is another word for yellow. Yellow is also a personality type, as characterized by advocates of the Color Code Personality Science people. Several similar systems are out there, but this one categorizes people into one of four colors, Red, Blue, White, and Yellow. I came out as a primary … Continue reading →

W: Webinar

The course is conducted via webinar. Each session is recorded, so if you are unable to attend a few webinars live, you’ll be able to “make up” the session. Or, if you want to reinforce what was covered in the webinar, the replay helps tremendously. Jot down the approximate time … Continue reading →

Yesterday, we talked briefly about the Universal Mind and the Sit. Visualization is a key component of the Sit. In addition to training ourselves to sit perfectly still for fifteen minutes or more, we teach our self to focus our thoughts through various exercises. At all times, we focus on … Continue reading →

Ah, the Universal Mind. “Thought impregnated with love becomes invincible…The Universal Mind is not only intelligence, but it is substance, and this substance is the attractive force which brings electrons together by the law of attraction so they form atoms; the atoms in turn are brought together by the same … Continue reading →

Are you familiar with Twitter? If not, you’ll have the opportunity to become familiar with Twitter as part of the Master Keys course. Twitter is not about “posting what you eat for breakfast,” and I think most people have gotten beyond that stereotype. Yes, you can post what you eat … Continue reading →
