So we finally meet

Today I met my half-sister Maureen. I was nervous, excited and a little anxious, but when she arrived, it was lovely. The first few moments were surreal. Right away I noticed that her wedding band and engagement ring were extremely similar to my own. She dressed in the same fashion as I would wear (blue jeans, a nice shirt, clogs and a scarf. I have the same scarf, but just in a different color.) There's so much to share, but I'll just touch on a couple things.

So, she saw my Reiki certifications and noticed that Libby Barnett was my instructor. And Maureen says, "Libby was my instructor too!" Seriously!? Come on!!!

We started to talk about theta brain waves and holistic healing. I was talking about my appointment with April Adams yesterday and learning about dropping into theta during meditation. Maureen is very familiar with this and mentioned some other meditation specialists (forgetting the name right now.)

We talked about our families and shared some childhood stories.

Although we only met today, she and I had a lot of similar mannerisms and her husband was laughing when I made a comment, it was something she said often to him.... (again, forgetting what I actually said...)

I'm really looking forward to creating this new bond with my sister. It's so amazing to connect with someone over metaphysical philosophies AND have it be my own sister.

Great little story

The other night during my children's bedtime ritual of making up little stories before lights out, my 4 year old daughter told this story;

"Once upon a time there was a book named Bob and he could read himself. It was really great because he was a story and he could read his own story to himself....."

And she went on to tell us his little adventure.

Later on I couldn't help but think about those first lines... he could read himself. What an excellent metaphor. If people were books and we could read ourselves..... Know your own story. Sometimes I think we get so distracted by life, we forget our own story. I don't mean, what we ate for lunch, but what we're really doing here on Earth. What is the story we need to know about ourselves?

Something to think about.....

Absent Reiki

I've been practicing absent Reiki on my mother-in-law since my Reiki II attunement. Last night I asked my husband if he talked to her lately. He had not. So I said, if you talk to her soon, don't say anything and see if she mentions how she's feeling lately. I kid you not, this morning was her FB post;

"did yoga tonight! Felt great! Went back to work in my classroom until 8:30???? Crazy!"
