wow, i just had the coolest experience! i had kinda been feeling off lately. like my house had some negativity in it. i didn't want to do much. and my house is a mess!! riding my bike back from the park, i decided to do a little cleansing. i thought i'd come in, burn some sage and call it a night. well... i was wrong!! ha!! i walked in as the sun was about to go down. my house still had some light in it, but it was getting pretty dark. in the corner of my eye i saw a black mass buzz by. i realized it was time to crack down!! time to get this party started!! time to get to business... time to... well, you  get the point! i went to my bedroom alter and went to work. i immediately felt brighid and bran. i could feel bran protecting me and my animals. i called the quarters with his help to set up a nice circle around my house (as is  my custom cause i don't like to have to *open* it every time i need to go to a different room!) i began to cleans as i normally do. light some sage say some words and release. but this time, when i started i dropped my shield that i had set up for the day. i felt that i was safe from my own empathy in my home.. in my circle. once i began to say that i cleanse this house, i felt like the energy had rushed into my "office". aka, jezzie's room.    i could even feel her perk up. -i had the door closed. it was dark, there was no way i could see her getting upset. but i felt it. so i bravely ran into her room. i swung the door open like a old west sheriff, saying something like *i know you're in here!* as i continued to smuge, i could feel the energy fading. i felt jezzie becoming happy, more relaxed. after i was sure the energy was gone, i put the sage down and walked around the house with my hands out. i felt for any differences. in jezzie's room i could still feel sadness. i realized that this is the room that my uncle stays in. (my mom's second oldest bro. he lives with my parents right now. he comes just about once a week and stays for a few days cause he works near where i live.) the sadness i felt was his. it was his sadness for the loss of his brother, and for the missed chances he had with him. they had issues. nothing crazy, just typical brother issues. and when i started this whole thing i felt the presence of my uncle lance. i felt like he was there. and in that moment i knew he was right next to me. he understood why his brother was so sad and depressed. he said that he forgives him, and that he loves him very much. a rush of emotions came over me. i knew they weren't my own so i held onto them and then released them to my still living uncle. i hope that he felt it. i hope that he knows that uncle lance isn't mad and that he loves him.. then i began to think about how i would like to really cleans this room. make it feel really good for him. peaceful, happy, etc. just as i thought this, i saw... for the first time.... a fairy! ha! i saw a glowing figure, very small with wings on jezzie's bed. i shut my eyes and looked again. i saw it again!!! i have NEVER seen one before. that was cool! so i remembered some advice that cerberus had written about them and asked if they wouldn't mind helping me clean the energy in this room. i felt like they were doing it. the room felt much lighter and more like the rest of the house. i usually don't like to go into that room. mostly cause my uncle stays there, and because i use it for work. lol! but i wanted to hangout in there. it felt really good. and jezzie felt really happy. then i walked around the house again and then into my room i suddenly felt overwhelming peace, comfort, and love. then in my minds eye, and kinda my eyes in general, i saw a woman all in white. she was standing in the corner of my room. she had a veil over her head. i took a moment to see who i felt it was. i suddenly knew it was brighid. i thanked her, bran, and the fairies, well and uncle lance, for all their help. i decided to set up a little fairy spot on my bookshelf. hope they like it. :) even though my house is still a mess, it feels really clean now. that was the first time i have ever used my empathy in such a way. and i can promise it won't be the last! that was freaking awesome! it was like i would feel something so strong that i would know it. i really wanna work on that ability. i think it may come in handy one day. :)

so today i woke up to the gardeners!! gggrrrrr! that always messes my morning up. i like to meditate and do my yoga in the am, but with my dogs running around and their peering eyes, it's hard to do! so i slapped on my ipod and meditated. it helped a lot! while i relaxed it hit me, the easiest way to raise your vibrations, to make your self shine with the effervescent beauty that is inside of us all, is music! we all have a song that we LOVE one or ones that make you move, smile, laugh, and have a good time. i know that when i hear a song i love on the radio that i love, i end up being in a much more cheerful mood. and i like to think it effects those around me. :) good good vibrations. ;) so what are your songs? what gets you movin? what brings you out of a funk? do share! i have so many, but here are some from me. :) you better believe that i will be rocking out to these today!!

so turn it up! rock out!! and have a great day!! happy freaking friday guys!!!!!! kiss kiss ~alysia

today, was a good day... groomed one dog and went with my intuition for the rest of the day. i decided to go to my local library {that i adore! it has a beautiful door that is made of a beloved oak tree that had to be cut down in front of my elementary school. i went to the school at the time it need to be cut down. they decided to have the kids write poems and stories about the tree. they then had a ceremony at the school and they choose a poem from one of the kids to be read. -guess who won. ;) couldn't tell ya what it said, but i won! ha!! i so need to find that.} i wandered over to the bio section and landed directly in front of poe's biographies. they had a bio on him that most biographies quote. so you know it's a good one! they also had a vhs of a&e's biography on him. i checked both of them out!! yay!! i'm so excited! i watched the vhs already. it was good! very well done. they really painted a good picture of him. especially of his love of virginia. :)

i then went to the book store and happened upon a book by christopher penczak called *the witch's shield*. it was behind another book. i have no idea why i picked up the first book. but i think i needed this book. can't wait to dive into it! oooo and i also got the children's book *in a dark dark room*. i loved this one and *scary stories*. all three of those ones. ;) i have the scary stories, but i never got *in a dark dark room*. not sure where my mom and dad put it. but i have it now!! :D i love it! can't wait till i have a lil one to read it to. maybe i will settle for reading it to the pups until then. lol!

alright, off to bed with me. well, off to read really. i have so much to read! ah! i'm still working on other books too. i am also half way through *bon bon* by mr. poe. eak! i need to buckle down here! lol! hope you all have a wonderful friday! ((((hugs))))~ alysia

so after a day of relaxation. i feel like a new me.. once again! ha! i think i needed a mental vacation. i really didn't do much today, but i feel good. i feel peaceful. i think one of the things that really bothered me about the mr. married tattoo man is that i was wrong. i thought he and i were really going to date. i was wrong. i also have a friend who is pregnant. i told her she is sooo having a girl. nope, i was wrong again. she's having a boy. i feel like my antenna are crossed or something! i am trying to get my intuition to be sharper, but i have been so wrong lately. however, while meditating the day i found out the he was married, i was told by brighid that i need to understand that my feelings get in the way. i need to really go with my first instinct. i try to control it and say, nope this is what's gonna happen. and it's funny, when she *told* me that i hadn't found out about him yet. this is the second time that information has come to me that was handy later.. well, really not the second time. that happens a lot. i seem to be finding a lot of people on this site and other places {in life/friends and family} who could use info that i just learned! things that i read or learn or see are extremely relevant sometime the next day! so i think that i am on the right path. or my intuition is good! lol! either way, i'll just try to keep it up. ;)  i guess what i'm saying, is that i feel almost like i was about to be given a great gift... something that i had been promised.. and then i see it right in front of  me, only to have it be given to someone else. know what i mean? oh well. i suppose there are other gifts out there. life goes on. thank you all for you wonderful words. i am so very lucky to have you all. i am sure i will have someone to share my beautiful life with one day. only time will tell when. we shall see. hope you all have a wonderful day. off to bed with me. i've got some reading to do. :D  (((hugs)))~ alysia
