Well, we have decided that we will try to start doing pod casts at least once a month. We have not decided on what subject matter to do these on but it sounds like so much fun to do!

Over on Shaded Spirit the PC's are pretty easy to put up and listen to so this should not be all that bad either. One thing though that we had some problems with is that for the life of me I could not remember how to set these up. I did a few in the past and it was as easy as 1, 2, 3 but I had a brain freeze that is for sure

My equipment is fancy for this but I got confused on the vga cable with audio that needed to be installed-AGAIN. Or so I thought. haha Then I remembered that the cable didn't belong with the microphone set up. Talk about a DUH moment!

So with all that being said we are planning on getting this project up and running sometime in late September to early October. We want to get all the bugs out first!

If you are looking for something to take to bed with you to read then this is certainly the book to cuddle and snuggle with. From A-Z you will find so many interesting and unique facts, trivia and other information that you will find it hard to put it down to sleep.

I decided that I would read a certain amount of pages each night. Starting fro A and working to the Z's. There were some nights that I was compelled to read more than the designated pages and did just that long into the wee hours of night.

There were definitions that actually cleared up a few things on my part always wondering if there was in fact a proper name for it but never really looked. Take for example the Facilitated Apparition. This is defined as a vision of a person in the spiritual world seen psychically through items such as mirrors, cauldrons, water, ink or fire. Now, those that have used these methods in workings may or may not have known that is the technical term for seeing such apparitions.

There are many, many others that I had in fact heard of but just did not know what the correct term was. Now I do!

This was a thought provoking reference guide I must tell you as when you find the terms that have happened to you it is explained in simple, easy to understand writings. Nothing that is over your head and confusing.

If you are looking for a reference book on the unseen this is a MUST have for your library!

I just love to wake up and see an alert in my email account about something that has gone awry. Gives me that glow of warmth. After seeing that one of the techs was complaining (whining actually) about three of the units not loading correctly and there is some glitch that they are having a hard time locating all I could do was laugh.

Now, I realize that it is not funny at all. Especially for the students but the techs are always trying to create something back end to make things run smoother and well, this time it just is not smooth. haha

I shot off a quick note that I would of course inform those students on these units and after that I was going to sit back, put my feet up on the contemporary coffee tables that are in my office and wait for the wondrous fix that they were in the process of doing.

Let's just hope it is sooner and later!

For all those students that are utilizing the units that are glitchy an email has already been sent. IF you did not get an email you are safe------For now!

        

Been a crazy, long week. It seemed that each day there was something that needed to be done right now not later! In fact it was really a trying, long week here.

Many energies were floating about that needed to be cleansed in a big way. One of the first things that I did was meditate to re-gain the composure and inner balance as my inner balance was really out of whack. After that I did feel better and the cleansing of the negative energies went well.

Also along with the cleansing I re-enforced the protection around our home-just in case I missed something. haha

I am so glad that the week is at an end. There were many lessons that were learned this past week. Some good and yet some were very ugly but eye opening. Sometimes we have to go through the bad lessons in order to become better individuals inside. So with that behind this afternoon we are all going out atv riding to release some steam and enjoy the day!

Hopefully this coming week the energies will be more even!

        

There are times that will come up when you may have the sense to hex someone. Maybe it will stem from anger or having been done wrong, but should you?

You do have to think the hexing through as there may be repercussions that come back to you. Are you prepared for this? You might not be. One should know how to hex but this does not mean to go out and hex every living being just because you know how.

In place of a hex try a justice working. It is a tad bit safer and the recipient will not suffer those long, harsh symptoms. But they will have to face what ever the end result of the justice working is.



For those people that you feel are deserving of justice workings it reminds me of security cameras around the culprit. Having the intent put into your justice working it reminds the Universe to take a new look at this person and maybe just maybe give them what is coming to them. All that without the karmic retribution put back on you.

With all workings, please use wisely and make sure you are doing them for the right reasons.

        

It is like a mad house here. OK, if you know all of us you will think 'What is abnormal about that?' Well we are in the process of getting ready for a few events this month that makes our life crazier than normal.

We have school starting, my grandsons 2nd birthday and the jamboree all in this month. Not to mention all the staff meetings and updates that are in the process of being done.

Going out shopping is not one thing that I like to do but forced to with the school clothes. Taking along my middle oldest daughter she finds everything from lingerie to boots that is not needed. Oh and she is not in high school! haha

If you are trying to contact me this month it may be slower than the slow already! But you will be answered.

Off to look at backpacks now

        

July's student of the month (drum roll please) is none other than Katie G.

Katie G. is a full time work at home mom and still has time to lend a helping hand when one is asked for. Well, sometimes not even then! haha

She has shown that she is well on the path not only in her studies but in her personal life as well. We asked her what her favorite things that she owns is one time and she answered breathlessly her iphone accessories ! OK, maybe she has a little to much time on her hands! haha

Nonetheless she is an asset to the school and to those that are around her.

Katie is a second year student and plans on going further!

Congrats Katie!

        

With August coming up we have planned some updates for the students. A few you will not notice and others you may groan and moan at.

One thing that we will be implementing for Units 3+ is more terms to know. All students will have terms for each unit that they are on to learn and take quizzes on. We are thinking about a minimum of 20 for each unit. Expect to see this by mid month.

Student menus will be updated for an easier, new look as well. Projected completion date August 30th.

We feel that it will be easier to find certain sections rather than searching like you would for good certified diamonds having all info on one set page and added to your menu's.

Deletion of student calendars will be set for August 20th.

That is just the tip of the ice berg so be prepared for more updates!

        

Can you believe that July is nearly gone? What the heck happened to it? July was gone with a very hot flash for all.

If you are like us your thoughts may be turning to back to school for the children in August. We start around mid month so it is shopping time! Fun times for all with one teen boy that has caviar taste and a beer budget! haha

If he was older I would have told him to make extra money he could sell used books but instead he has to save up for the things that he wants that are very spendy!

So with the end of month and a weekend too you might just see us at a local mall or two!

        

So many times people talk about being on the road to enlightenment yet having a problem getting to far on that road. Wondering why that is they have no idea even where to start to look to solve the problem.

One thing that might occur is that they really are not on that road at all. Have they taken full responsibility for their actions, past, present and even future? Have they seen and felt what others feel? Have they actually forgiven what is not forgivable? More than likely no. They have yet to extinguish the flame of the fiery ego that presses them onward through a dry forest. Repeating the same errors over and over not learning from them. Only blaming everything and everyone around them. Blaming all but one person. Themselves. For they are the underlying problem, not those around them.

They just do not get it. They may do all of what they think they should be but remain stagnant. Maybe being enlightened is not going to happen to them in this lifetime as they are not ready to accept the faults that are theirs and theirs alone. Just like a diet. You take all the weight loss products that are available to you only to find that you are not loosing weight at all. Why? Maybe its the candy, drinks and junk food that you are still processing into your body. It is all the negative thoughts and feelings that are not let go off that you may not even notice that hinders our progress on the road. Enlightenment is wonderful but not an easy road to travel at all. Most of the time we will stray as we are not perfect but hopefully we live, learn, dusting off our traveling boots and trek onward towards the horizon to find that enlightenment that we are seeking.

While you are thinking that you have made it, kindly think about this. Are you really there yet?
