Maggie's blog: "Daily Greetings!"

It has been months since I've done a real Daily Greeting, so I think it is time to try this again! I have become a very busy woman....my business continues to grow by leaps and bounds. I am really working at not getting in over my head - I am known for taking on too much! I know how much sleep I need; I know my limits, physically, as to how many clients I can treat in a day and not totally do myself in! Trying to maintain those boundaries takes bit of work...... I continue to purge my home of belongings that no longer fit my life! Geez, I have alot of crap, lmao! It is a work in progress, as are most things in my life. The next Mercury Retrograde is almost upon us.....I've felt its influence since about September 1. More issues being dredged up whether I like it or not. So many of my friends and clients are feeling the same crunch....nice to know it's not just me! The husband from whom I am separated is having open heart surgery September 23 in Rochester, MN. His Mom and sister are traveling to be there. I had planned on going......then Bill said I didn't need to, especially knowing that the teens would be without supervision for a day, lmao!! So, I started scheduling clients for the 23rd.....the bills still have to be paid! Between MY Mom and my oldest daughter, I guess I need to change the order of things again and plan on being in Rochester for the surgery! Separation is such strange territory.......divorce is a bit more clear cut..... I could make this a long one, lol, but I think I won't! No, don't thank me, lmao!! I need to get ready for belly dancing class....tonight begins my third year of belly dancing! Much love and warm hugs for all my friends/family/fans! Blessings, lots of them, for one and all!! Later! Muahzz!

Just an update for those who know me.... I had to make an emergency run to Rochester MN yesterday.....my ex needed to be transported to one of the Mayo Clinic's hospitals for admission. He had an Echocardiogram yesterday morning and the Docs didn't like what they found. They also think he has bacterial endocarditis....a bacterial infection in the heart tissue. And his blood pressure is off the charts....that is nothing new! So, Bill (my ex) is looking at lots of nasty tests today, lots of meds for the infection and BP,....and ultimately surgery for the two heart valves that are damaged. He is not a happy camper! I have a full compliment of clients to treat today, tired as I am. Hopefully I won't have to make another flying trip to Rochester today.....I will plan to be there for the surgery, given some warning. Life is an interesting thing.... Much love, warm hugs, and blessings for one and all! Later! Muah!

FYI, for those that might want to know, I am without my laptop. This comes to you from the teens computer - I usually have to engage in a fight to the death to use this thing, lol. Not to mention the keyboard sticks like nobodies business.... Heather, my Web/Computer Diva, says my laptop either needs a new fan, needs a new battery, or, worst case scenario, I need a new motherboard. That translates to needing a new laptop, I guess! Wish me luck! I will only be online minimally, checking messages and emails. I'm having Fubar withdrawal, lol, amongst other things! Much love, warm hugs, and blessings for all my family/friends/fans! I miss you all terribly, lol. Later! Muahzzz!

Lammas blessings for one and all! I have not had the opportunity to write another "real" blog entry since my move. Haven't decided if I'm going to forge ahead with a rather long one.....or divide it into two smaller ones. We'll see what I decide! For those who are not aware, the 3 teens and I now live in a duplex of our own. This was made official on July 1. I had one month to sort, throw, pack, and move. Lot's of crap got moved, as well; so I am now going through boxes and tubs, slowly getting rid of things that no longer fit my life and who I am now. The guys have done pretty well. Taylor has been a blessing, trying to keep the other guys on the "straight and narrow" with some small success, lol. Dakota was used to manipulating "Dad" well and I'm a harder nut to crack......things have gotten a little hot between us from time to time. Nothing like a 14 year old young man to drive you crazy!! I got custody of our three cats, as well. These are house cats......and my favorite got out and has been missing for about a week. I haven't found him smushed on State Highway 21, out front of the duplex, so I'm hoping he's just doing his "walkabout", as male cats like to do! We'll see if he returns. Dakota's corn snake has come up missing, as well.....in the house!!! I am not happy! There was a small spot where the screen had pulled away from the frame. I'm guessing he crawled into the AC/heat ductwork which was right by his aquarium tank. No sign of him yet, either.....bleh!!! My business continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Needless to say, I am exhausted alot of the time these days. Social life???? What's that!!! At least I'm getting all the bills paid on time.... Metaphysically speaking, things are getting interesting, as well. I now have a Teacher/Spiritual Guide. He came back into my life at the perfect time, of course......all my spiritual "helpers" do, it seems. So I continue to experience, learn, and grow.......now with someone to guide me through it all. Over the last month, I have noticed some interesting energetic changes.......I haven't been sleeping well, and when I do, I awaken feeling as if I worked all night (or like I've been beaten all night, lol). Funny thing is, most of my clents have been going through the same thing. Interesing.......! As I work through my issues, and I have a passel full, I find myself overwhelmed by pain and sadness. I think some of the sadness is mine.....but possibly I'm pulling the rest of the sadness from others I am connected to. Or so I'm guessing! Along with my Guide/Teacher, my Soul Twin, Stephen, (of Fallen Angel and AntiCupid aka Charlotte and Stephen) has been attempting to keep me from becoming too hard on myself! Blessings, Stephen dear! You mean the world to me, Brother mine!! You, too, Char dear! I won't drag all my issues out into the light of day right now......as I feel the need, I will dredge them up, one at a time! But only if I feel someone can learn something from my stumbling along down the Path....... Enough for tonight! Much love and warm hugs for one and all! Blessings, lots and lots of them, for all my friends/family/fans, all over the world. You are loved more than you know! Later! Muahzzz!

Taking a guess, I'm about 80% moved. It has been a long time since I felt this tired.....I did get 4 hours of sleep last night, thank the Goddess! Basically, I have two dressers and small stuff yet to move. I think I get the microwave, as well, although I could do without it, no problem. The kids would have issues without the microwave, lol. Something has to give, so today it is belly dancing.....as much as I love it, I can't do everything right now. Tomorrow I go back to work, so additional grabbing of stuff will be done in the evening. So be it! I will survive! Thanks to all my friends and family who kept up a steady stream of energy sent and moral support, lol. Couldn't have done it without you, Dear Ones! Much love, warm hugs, and blessings for one and all! Later! Muahz!

The moving is going along......damn slowly, I might add! And my computer is giving me grief! So if I am not online as often as usually, I am OK, lol......just up to my ass in moving. My webmistress tells me she will keep my computer issues to a minimum. I hope she is right!! It is my connection to the outside world, lol. Much love to all! Warm hugs and blessings for all my friends/family/fans. Later! Muahzzz!

Today I put a security deposit down on a two bedroom duplex here in Sparta. A little bit small for us, but Tim, the middle grandson, will be moving out in December when he turns 18. It is located a couple miles outside of town, trees in the front, fields in the back. Yes, this is farm country, lol! It has a full basement which makes me very, very happy. So, upwards and onwards.......this is truly a time of transition for many, not just myself. I look forward to what is ahead! Much love, warm hugs, and blessings for one and all! Later! Muahz!

Just so all my friends are aware and don't send others to me without letting me know ahead of time, I have had to close my profile to friends only. I have spotted my soon to be ex sister-in-law skulking around Fubar in stalker mode on three separate occasions, so I have closed access to my profile to only friends, and have limited access to my NSFW/Private pics to family. Occasionally, a friend will send one of their friends to me. Just let me know and I will send an add to them. Sorry for the drama! Much love, warm hugs, and blessings go out to all of you! Later! Muah!

For those who know me more than casually, this will come as no surprise, as I have been anticipating this for a while now. For those of you who don't know me well, or as well as you think, lol, I am ending a 23 year marriage this year. We were informed last week that we need to move from the duplex we have been living in for 11 years. This appeared to be the cosmic "kick in the ass" I'd been waiting for.....I don't do anything these days without that lovely cosmic "nudge"! My spouse and I have had our discussion....this was no surprise to him. I have talked with the teenagers - both Taylor, our 17 year old son, and Tim, my 17 year old grandson, were aware this was coming at some point. Dakota, almost 14 year old grandson that we've raised since he was two weeks old, was a little taken aback....but he's OK with it, since no one is moving far away. My parents have been informed.....my Mom thinks I'm nuts to be doing this "at my age"!! Ah, well! So, I have stepped out in faith.....I have things to do, places to go, whales to save, as my oldest son William used to say. I have a "task" to do. What that task is...apparently it is on a need to know basis, lmao, and the Powers That Be don't think I need to know!! I know things will be tight and rather difficult for awhile. But all will be as it is meant to be. When I do find a place, one of the first things I will do is get my computer hooked up - it has become my lifeline, a way to connect with all my friends, my support system, as it were. And I need it for research and business connections, as well.....justification is such a lovely thing, lol! So, if I am not online quite as often for a bit, do not be concerned. I will be back as soon as I can, trust me! I just need to get used to juggling all by myself. Much love, warm hugs, and blessings for each and every one of my friends/family/fans! Later! Muahz!

To the sweet individual who sent me a Mother's Day gift from the FuGraphic Gift Shoppe, thank you so very much! Much love, warm hugs, and blessings.....muahzzzz! Maggie
