Destruction & Creation
Posted by: | Comments
Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, airplanes into buildings, bombs dropping, all bring destruction and often the tragic loss of lives. Some of these are brought by the power of the constantly transforming forces of nature, and others by the destructive aspect of human nature.
Either way, when it is brought by nature or the hand of others, if destruction makes its way to your doorstep its devastating. The chaos, loss, disorder, and helplessness remind you to the core of your soul of the vulnerability of life.
It can be tragic to live through devastation, and tough to live with the knowing that life is fleeting, subject to the forces of nature, and the potentially destructive side of humanity. So what do you do? How do you experience destruction in your life and go on? How do you help those around you when they face the utter transformation of their lives?
Oracle Integrity and The Fine Print
Posted by: | Comments
Last year I set out to reprint the Elemental Forces of Creation Oracle. The first group I had printed in China based on the recommendation of someone who had printed her own deck there. She had originally learned about this printer from someone else who had several decks printed with them. They both had gotten great service and a good price from the printer she recommended to me.
All went great with my first run and the decks were a success, but this time I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to get the oracles printed in the US. I wanted to lower the environmental foot print the decks made by traveling a smaller distance and to have as green printing as possible. I also wanted to keep the economic flow in the US and receive them sooner than I would if they were coming from China.
Initially, I paid someone to research printers in the US and she found no comparable price. One printer wanted more than the retail price of $24.99 per unit even with printing a 1000 sets. A few months later I began doing more research myself. I looked into many different printers and no one could come close to the price with the same package.
So, we worked at redesigning the package. Then, one US printer had a reasonable price, green standards, and was located in Orlando. Even with that the price for the project, it was a couple thousand dollars more than I would have paid sending the project to my original printer in China. But, I was determined to help the US economic flow and the environmental footprint even if it meant paying more.
Power of Focus

For your intentions to come fully into form, you need focus and commitment. Commitment is the energy that helps you see something through until completion.
When you are learning or doing something new you often reach a “crisis of commitment.” A place where you have to decide if you are going to stick with it until you break through to the other side of it or if you are going to give up.
Focus can help you pull your energy back toward your intention when you get off track. And if you fully commit to your intention and focus, you can experience breakthrough and completion.
You have so many choices in life, so many places to put your energy, so many interesting things to explore and people to meet. Focus helps you keep directing your attention toward your desires until they fully come into form.
Focusing your attention on anything amplifies its energy, so you need to be sure to keep your focus on what you desire in life. What you focus on expands.
