The Four Agreements

(based on ancient Toltec Tradition... Who were the precursors to the Aztecs...):

(from Don Miguel Ruiz's: "The Four Agreements")

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.


DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.


ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

Magic Hands

Drugs can take away the pain
Friends can pass the time
But your fingers are all I need
To finish up this rhyme

Kneed my body, touch my skin
Swathe me in exaltation
Magic hands will cure my pain
Seal for you my adoration.




The only thing that helps, truly takes the physical pain away, of this very long and stressful pregnancy, are my husband's hands… his magic hands… (since drugs really are not an option)... I miss you today... Happy Anniversary, my Love...

a huge smiling face for Max Bouillet being spotlighted this month... there are a small handful of poets here who stimulate me both mentally and spiritually, and he is one of them...

it's about time...

kudos to you, Max, you deserve it...

cute little quiz, for you Irish folk... I got an 80 :)

ah, blessed those who have Irish blood in them today... hell, blessed those who don't!!!

i have my shamrock socks on (Guinness rocks... please someone drink for this poor Irish lass... haha, poor, not, just wanting some ale :)...), my mind is dreaming of my grandmother... my daughter and i fed the leprechauns this morning (a tradition her and her sister do, that I have begun since last year... which her sister got from her mother)... and baby Zoe is doing an Irish jig in me belly...

oh yes, and i fully love me Irish husband too... (and his German and Indian parts too, but mostly the Irish... LOL)

oh, and two more awesome sites... and yes, i happen to live by and agree with a lot of these!!!...

oh how i cherish my child... (hmm, could you tell??)... i have been quite grumpy lately, just plain irritated with people in general, even those close to me; it feels like people are trying to irritate me, but i know if i actually ask them, then if they aren't, i'm going to look pretty damn stupid... however, i did something the last two days (in following a good friend of mine's lead with her child), that has blown me out of my funk... i woke my baby up early and we took a shower and bath together before school (i usually give her one at night, as the mornings have been hectic)... talk about great bonding time... today we read "the cat in the hat comes back" together (her a page, then myself a page) in the tub... absolutely lovely... i wish i had started doing this month's ago...

on the way to work, we listened to my goth comp and bounced down the 14 freeway (i didn't even glance at the bastard's cutting us off... just kept my steady pace and danced with my child)... the baby was kicking around in my belly... and all was right in the world... ah, but for these moments, life is worth it...
