Thats a shame you lost contact with them @Oaktree My naturopath friend died over a decade ago. I miss her and the lodge. She was a very lively woman with a beautiful soul. She was an incredible woman with so much life in her. Her world was peppered with joy. She really walked the Beauty Way.

@Former-Member
Thank you for inspiring me to action. I just emailed my Aboriginal Corporation to enquire if they could put me in touch with some Elders who are happy to share Culture. Hopefully they get back to me with someone

Oh wow @Oaktree! Thats a good move. Im hoping something will come of this for you. I think you will enjoy connecting with your cultural heritage. I just left a message with another shaman lady I came across on facebook in the past. Just waiting for her to get back to me so I can deepen my chakra practice using power animals and the four directions. I was given a snippet of a shamanic course on chakras which was for free. I can't afford these expensive online courses but it was a free module on how to work with your chakras. I allready did some of the practice using his books but the courses are just beyond my budget unfortunately. These lifestyle courses are for the monied classes

Thats really good @TAB they better get it right this time. At least youre not shelling out more and more cash for a botch job gone wrong with incompetant dentists. I hope you will be allright today 🙂 Cat came around last night again. Fed him and let him indoors. He was a little bit gingerly when it came out to checking out his new environment but he's gaining trust. He's a sweet animal that just runs to me when I open the door. Don't know how much of it is to do with food (!) Oh well we're making progress lol I'm just worried what I will do if he requires ER or medical treatment. Don't have a car. When I had my dog I had a car plus pet insurance. He was seeing vet, plus vet specialists and occasional midnight dashes to ER.

yes, I had same (possibly irrational) worries about medical treatment and who is responsible for cat . I dont have a solution at this stage. cats here supposed to be microchipped. doubt this one is. not sure how would get it to vet or council if something did happen, as it doesnt like car and sure it wont like a cage, see what happens, dunno @Former-Member
Im more concerned about getting it out down if something happens, as I wont be paying huge vet bills.
got new radiator turn up finally. so thats one less thing to stress about , ie them leaving it in front yard for crims to take, sure the people on next street would love it there are 2-3 houses with at least 4 cars some in pieces for parts , similar to mine, they would love a free radiator.
okay mechanic recommended I replace mine as they make with plastic tanks. so if it is original, odds are its about to crack with age leaving me stuck somewhere with car cant drive and poss engine damage. found half price one on ebay. mechanic says its good brand as well

I just can't even begin to contemplate the cost of running a car anymore @TAB I was done with that idea after my engine died. Cars on the road will be replaced with EV's soon. Not many people will be in that financial ballpark to pay for it. It will be reserved for those in the inner city areas who are wealthy. I was worried when HistoryLover bought a brand new car as they will be getting all phased out in some timeframe soon. A lot of folk will only be left with public transport options. That is what I have been told by independent journalism.
Yes it is a concern paying for veterinary bills. My pet insurer met all my medical costs with my dog. I was with Petsecure and luckily they did not fold and default on claims. My dog had to see the vet fortnightly for boosters. Anyway thats what has happened with many pet insurance agencies. They just closed up shop. RSPCA pet insurance might be a better option. But yes I'm worried about this little cat. Especially over summer with extreme heat

Hello @Glisten! Good morning to you! I'm still trying to shake off my meds from last night so I'm not quite Zen. Whats happening in the A-frame today? Not much is happening for me, its warm outside though. Loving ho'oponopono, don't know if I'll get to Zero Limits with it as Joe Vitale says but its great for getting rid of problems thats for sure. I do the practice constantly and drink blue solar water every day!

@Glisten I think the hours between 0500 - 0700 were when I finally got some sleep. I'm pretty sure if I stay in one spot for too long I will fall asleep.
I am not going to say today has to be better than yesterday because that will just blow any good out of the water.
Found photos of the God kids on my phone and cried. And cried and cried.
Got a phone call from my insurance company who can't decide to cover my damaged roof or not. It certainly sounds negative so I will probably have to live with a hole in my roof and the constant worry the ceiling will collapse due to water damage.
And of course the $585 for new tyres for Paris.
Then the lovely mailman delivered a letter of demand from the shitty of swan regarding my rates and how I have 20 days to come up with $2000, plus the letter from the bank advising I am a month in arrears on my mortgage.
I seriously considered looking for a remote track to drive out to, somewhere no one would find me.
Except I don't have the guts to do it so that's a positive I guess.
And I took your advice, I am going to see my own GP this afternoon to get an exemption from having to meet centrelink obligations.
I think I'll try doing a diamond painting, see how long it takes the hazelnut latte and berocca to kick in.
