The wind blew my fence down. Luckily I have insurance and they are putting a new one up for me.
I speak my truth with confidence

What a weekend. The winds were very strong and my backyard fence fell down in several places. Luckily Insurance will be covering some of the cost of repairs. We’ve been busy getting quotes and deciding what’s best to do. Hopefully the work can be done ASAP. The fence between our backyard and the Business is a liability. If it fell it could hit some of the parked cars.
Trouble always comes in 3’s. The second problem came when our cat, Archie came home with battle wounds. So off to the vet’s he went. $250 worth of emergency care and pain medication. He’s resting comfortably at home on his way to recovery. No broken bones or obvious wounds, but definitely walking slowly.
Now I’m just waiting for the 3rd problem to show up. Maybe it was the dentist appointment? My share is always over $100.

I lead with passion and courage.
A strong charismatic leader, looking forward to challenges because they enjoy the rush of adrenalin that solving a difficult problem brings.  The King of Wands helps us to turn all those thoughts and dreams into real plans and tangible results.

Today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Through extreme tragedy came lifesaving regulation changes. Now every ship must have enough life jackets and life boats for each person. It might seem obvious to us but at the time they thought they were unsinkable. ;(

You may feel trapped, but you always have a choice to break loose and live how you want to.

I love what I do.
Busy day today. Engagement photos to arrange. My favorite cousin’s 70th Birthday Party. My first grandson coming to visit. Sourdough bread rising to be baked. Laundry to do. So much to do… so little time 😉

Today would have been my Father’s Birthday. With little academic background he was a very smart man. Very few were ever able to beat him at checkers. He loved playing cribbage and doing word search puzzles in the weekend comics. I remember him and Mom taking dance lessons from a good friend in our living room. Everyone you met had to tell you he was a good sh*t. To which my mother would hug him and say “And everyone needs one of those once in a while.” My Mom was his cornerstone. He was very skilled with practical things and became a high pressure welder when I was 16. That was a major change in our lifestyle as he joined the Welder’s Union. Being a Union Member provided medical and dental benefits. It also ensured he would have a pension when he retired.
I am adaptable and open
to new possibilities.
Artists are prophets.

Remember the original Ghost Busters? My sister took me to a theatre to watch the new Ghost Busters movie. Not a remake but a continuance in the present. The quality of a big screen is just so amazing. I couldn’t believe how many of the original actors are still living in their “golden years”.
I have the power within me
to free myself.
It is time to let go of negative patterns and embrace new perspectives.
Every fence has a gate. You can choose to stay within the enclosure or open the gate and venture out of the confines. Look at the river or go over the bridge.
You may have a fresh start

Today there is a lot of hoopla over the solar eclipse. As usual, we probably won’t see this once in a lifetime event due to clouds 😦
Too many people in powerful positions have closed too many roads today for fear of the crowds. I can’t even drive to my own trailer because the road will be closed by the Municipality. Ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned this is an unnecessary use of political power and restriction of freedom.
It reminds me of the overstepping during COVID restrictions where property owners weren’t permitted to go to their cottages, but the Provincial Premier went to his.
I am moving towards my goals
with passion and enthusiasm.
