Just flippin' fantastic
My mother had a daughter we never knew about until a few years ago. I have never met her or talked to her, but this afternoon I finally asked my mother to give me my half sister's information so that I could contact her. We just had a fantastic conversation. And you know what?! She's Reiki II certified and a holistic nurse practitioner! The "Healer" gene at work! He lives nearby and hopefully we'll get to meet face to face soon. I am so happy I finally reached out to her.
Very smart insight
My 4.5 year old daughter came into my bedroom this morning and told me that she knew where her bad dreams came from. So I asked her where. "They come from my right brain. And my good dreams come from my left brain." My reaction, "How do you know that?!" And she said, "I've known it since I was two." Just matter of factually. Beautiful.

What a weekend!
Yesterday I attended the Reiki II certification class by Libby Barnett and came away with three moments I want to share.
Libby has a lovely living room in which she has arranged a large sectional sofa and comfortable chairs in a rectangle so that all the students can face one another as she teaches the class. Julianne (another student) was sitting on the sofa on the opposite side of the room from me. Libby selected Julianne's son to practice "absent Reiki" on. As we were going through the steps and sending Reiki to her son Matthew, I kept seeing him as Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music singing "The Hills are Alive" He wasn't actually Julie Andrews, but he was in the same mountainous field and was turning in circles and singing and completely elated as in the movie. This thought made me laugh and when it came time to share some of our thoughts, I decided to not share. (more to come on this)
During my attunement, I invited my grandfather on my father's side to come. I wasn't sure why I did that other than the day before I had been talking to my oldest brother and for some reason I asked him to tell me our grandfather's name. My grandfather died when my father was just twelve years old, so obviously I never met him and our family never really discussed him. He had died of cancer and it was very painful for him and my father's family at the time. I felt I knew his name, but having my bother confirm it made me feel better. My grandfather's name was Patrick Henry Boyle.
So as I'm thinking about my grandfather and relaxing in the moment of the attunement, I asked my grandfather why he had died. His answer came immediately. "In order to make you strong." This shocked me.
After attunement we were sharing our personal experiences during the ceremony. When I talked about what happened during mine, I teared up. I didn't expect that, but I had tears and got chocked up as I spoke. Libby was so touched as well. I could see in her expression and words that she was moved by what had happened.
The last activity of the afternoon was to practice hands on Reiki with one another. Only this time, each person had an intention that they wanted folks to state during each person's session. Nancy was a woman in my little group that requested we help her find her perfect career in the medical field. As she lay on the table, I began by holding her right hand in mine. The image of her sitting with an elderly woman wearing a house dress popped into my head. They were laughing and Nancy was so happy. This image kept repeating it's self the whole time Nancy was on the table. When we were done with Nancy's session, I told her what I saw.
It took a few moments for Nancy to get back up and then we began to work on April, she was the last student in our group for the practice session. After April was finished and we shared our thoughts and images with April, Nancy came over to me. She said, "I just want you to know that about two weeks ago, I was visiting an elderly woman and she was wearing a house dress and she was making me laugh with her stories." Her and Nancy are both French-Canadian and they connected over that. This woman made Nancy happy. I had my Reiki workbook in my hands and I just put it over my face. OMG! OMG! I didn't know how to react to that. I laughed and Nancy laughed.
So then I was compelled to tell Julianne what I saw during the absent Reiki. When I told her what I saw she said, "Monica, The Sound of Music is my son's most favorite movie of all times. And that she and her husband stayed at the Von Trapp Lodge after their wedding. Another OMG! OMG!
So, three events happened;
1. My grandfather came to me.
2. I read someone remotely.
3. And I read someone I touched.
Not sure how to process this.

And she returns!
I had lost the goddess to my new fertility bracelet, but now she has been restored.
I am very grateful to the Esty store The Fertile Garden for such great customer service. Now with her returned, I hope next month will be the month I conceive. <3

It may not be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, but it's a start
This was the email subject I received in my inbox today that has made me write today; "It may not be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, but it's a start"
So, when I was a kid and PBS broadcasted the '80s version of the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I was glued to the television. I loved this series. And the one thing that I remember the most was the number 42. For some reason, I never let that number go.
Now, last year, when I started this indigo journey, I was 42 years old.
For no reason, my husband read The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy this summer and really liked it.
Now this article comes up today from Globalpost; It may not be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything, but it's a start
And last night I was looking up the number 42 online. I had no idea it had such history and meaning;
From wiki; 42
So, I feel like this number is important. 42 was the age that my life jump started into something new and meaningful.

A little sad
I love my new fertility bracelet and I've been wearing every day since I got it. Last night when I got home from work, my littlest daughter wanted to see my bracelet right away. She started looking at the charms and naming them. Then she asked me where the "lady" was. OH NO! She was gone. The fertility goddess was gone off the bracelet! And my little one knew! I came into work today, hoping I would find it at my desk, but no luck so far. Hopefully I'll come across it at some point today.
