I appreciate the steady knowing and even vibration of ALL IS WELL,
however
I enjoy an infrequent adrenalin rush before settling back into that knowing!

Cockroach

We live on the edge of a Florida jungle.
Except for an occasional huge straying turtle or the tiny dinosaur-like
lizzard, we tend to forget the jungle is there.

Today I was in my bedroom organizing my sox drawer and
a two inch cockroach leaped out of nowhere and grabbed my
pinky finger, he held on upside down till a second later I shook
him free!

I screamed like a girl-
three short loud bursts "Ah, ah, ah!"

Fortunately my husband was in the next room.

"What's wrong, Jude?", he asked.

I being very excited ran into where he was and with the
adrenalin still pulsing told him what I just told you.

He said-
"You're such a girl!"...and then like the great white hunter
he is, he stopped his project and immediately stood up
and walked into my room, the scene of the drama.

Now we are both standing in my bedroom and silently
I am I pointing to the corner of the room.

My husband crouched down, near the wire basket sox drawer
and said-
"There he is....there he is......NOT!"

Always with the jokes. I love him. We had a good laugh.

Then thoughtfully my husband said:
"I bet he's under the carpet where it bulges here in the corner."

So, he lifted the leopard throw rug and exposed the lone roach.
Squish!
Bug killed.

Then my husband turned to me and said-
"You know what they say, Jude?"
and being that we had this conversation a few years ago.

I replied:
"What? That if you see one then seven more are hiding?"

"Yup!"-He answered.

I said-
"No way. He's one of the generals. The generals are big
and they travel alone."
Still excited, I ran for a kleenex to wrap the body in. My
husband wrapped and squished it and then proceeded
to run around the house waving the little bundle at me,
as I he laughed and I screamed.
: )
End of story.

I am grateful that THE cockroach was easily found and exterminated.
I am grateful that I don't remember seeing any in our house in
years and I am confident that my husband and I are the only
tenants now living in our edge of a jungle home.
Breathing freely,
Iron Man

Would you help me with this!

Attention.
At your service!
My pleasure!

Being asked to serve flows my energy.
Asked to serve I feel helpful and needed

Be it my orange trees who have no power over mother nature
or
A student with a question
or
A half.com client who needs expedited mail
or
My son who accepts my monthly getting through a rough patch support
or
My husband who's back is resting....I'm happy to lift or teach for you, sweetheart
or

I love being of value.
Of course it works both ways!

Neil Diamond remembered


This morning after breakfast, I went back to bed!
I put on the T.V. and watched a recorded Jimmy Kimmel live.
During the interview of Indiana Jones's son....I drifted to sleep.

When I woke up, Neil Diamond was singing "Pretty Amazing Grace"
Wow!

I feel all silly and sexy and thrilled
Neil Diamond was singing to me this morning!
I woke up in a Neil Diamond concert

I sat up in bed and remembered the feelings of being 20 something
and being at a Live Neil Diamond concert. Back then I was...hahaha.....out of control in love
with the singer...........I remember jumping up
and
down in the audience crying, excited and ready for anything!

This morning I woke up hopeful, giddy, and adoring.
Look at him....he's still going strong.

He looks fabulous.
Look at him selfishly doing his thing.
Look at us...........we adore him.
What better "keep going" role model than Neil Diamond.
Bravo!

I may or may not purchase his new album but one thing for sure....
the tune will be buzzing in my head all day

I woke up to the sight and sound of a man who could have sneaked out of the
spotlight but instead choose to stay the path
and
take it from someone who knows............. he's still got it.

Today I will be working and playing with an "in love with life" smile on my face.
Neil Diamond sang to me first thing this morning.

Death List




Me sitting in my bed last week. Pic courtesy of my sister

It is wonderful to be part of a group that understands there is no death,
we are eternal beings, living in this time space reality. Abraham says something like we got it backwards, we rejoice at birth and weep when someone dies.

On the side of my refrigerator on a magnet is an envelope. Written on the envelope are 11 names of people I know or someone close to someone I know who have been told by a doctor that they will die soon. One name is crossed off. This envelope list gives me comfort as I know, that when they are ready each will easily transition into pure bliss.

This morning my husband snuggled with me the bed pictured above. Laying with him in, being held by him, feeling the soothing of his arms around, I was happy and appreciative. Holding the green velvet pillows one against my chest and the other between my knees,my husband had my back. We were spooning............ummmmmmmmmmm!

I said to him: "This is how I want to die. Just like this. You holding me. Me being healthy, happy and alive....feeling really, really good. I am un-afraid to die".

My husband replied: "Yes I know, Sweetheart".

I replied:
"I'm not ready yet, but when I am, I hope get my wish".

This post soothes me and has me smiling. I know my
fellow positive posters are smiling too or not
as we all get to choose!

Forverentwined,

New Yauk-ers

Yesterday I head a Brooklyn accent on our Shorin-Ryu '89 Karate video.
My old Sensei.
ahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa.....a breath of fresh air.

This morning Cyndi Lauper interview....
She leaves the "g"
off the end of "ing" words and says "da" instead of the.
Not only am I grateful to hear these sounds,
I'm interacting
and
I find myself repeating the words out loud.
I am learning or re-learning a new language.
I find my self singing the words and finding
the magic in the sounds I am creating.

My ears are soothed and my smile widens.

Last night on that awful (not aw-filled...hahaha)
2 hour Idol....it was great wasn't it?
NOT!
THIS COULD BE MY LAST SEASON with American Idol....but that's an up-stream rant!
: )
I head Australian-born Michael Johns sing....ummmmm
I was thrilled
and
I am wanting MORE....MORE....MORE!
(He was my pick...another upstream saga!)

and

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.....were you able to catch the Bachelor from London?

He had me right from the limo, greeting the girls:

"Nighess dress"!

My ears, my brain, my heart and soul come alive with other people's accents....
especially New Yauk-ers.

Potato chip "picture"

Did you ever see something clearly in a potato chip?
Is it a Madonna, Christ or art?
Maybe someone on the other side trying to connect?
hummmm.....
On Saturday, my sister visiting from New York was
sitting at my kitchen table with her husband and my husband.
We were enjoying a Turkey Sandwich and chips.
My sister reached in the potato chip bag and said in a silly tone:
"Look a karate person"!
I saw on the chip a stick figure who was flexing his muscles.
In that instant, looking at the chip, I saw her son, who died at age
19 in a motorcycle accident.
Ha!
My sister who is deeply religious (Catholic) connects with him
all the time and really I don't think ever greaved. She gets
the there is no death thing, we are eternal beings. I knew she
would understand when I said:
I see a body builder....I just knew she would get it and see
her son too.
Geeeeeeeezzzzzzz he died 12 years ago.
The day before, one on one, we had a conversation about our
older sister, who croaked last year
and
the joy of connecting with her spirit so I said:
"Looks like a body builder to me. You know they can only
connect when we are in bliss"!
She just looked at me or beyond me, hard to know what
she was thinking.
I just let it go.
I mean after all she was visiting with her new husband and
we were having a nice lunch.
However, I really felt the connection of her "dead" son, my god child
during lunch, during the laughter and the lovely conversation were having.
I felt the vibration of bliss.

The next day in the Sunday paper, my husband found the following comic;
Pickles:
A little old man with white hair and his white haired wife.
The husband is at the kitchen table excited about a find in a bag of chips
-What on Earth are you doing, Earl?
-I read about some lady who found a corn flake shaped like Illinois. She sold it on ebay for $1,350.
-I don't see why I couldn't do the same.
-All I have to do is find a flake shaped like a state.
...and figure out what an ebay is.
(and the last frame, the old woman with hands on her apron says)
-I see a flake shaped like my husband.

Why am I telling you this?
I don't know.....I must be an old flake.

Mountain of Garbage

Some people complain when their kids are grown that they
still have to pay taxes for the school system.

I am grateful that are kids are grown
and
I have no problem paying to educate the rest of our community.

However, we do have garbage.
Fortunately removal of garbage is included on our property tax.

A Mountain of trimmed trees and other landscaping refuse sat waiting
for a the dump truck all week.

Today I was awakened by the sound of the big monster trash removal truck
with
the huge black clam on an arm.
Oh what a racket....hahahaha.....
and
what a delight knowing the trash is now gone.

We may not have kids but we do have trash
and
our taxes take care of both.
I always smile big when our trash disappears.

Wet and wild

My sister stayed over night.
As they pulled out of my driveway, it started to
rain. At first I was just waving good bye and
then I started jumping up and down with glee.
It has poured for the last hour. Yipee!

This is the first rain we've had in over a month and
we NEED the rain. There have been a few isolated dry spots, too dry and too hot. Rain is wonderful.
So many positive, up-lifting things happened over the course of my sister's visit.

We had fun!
Last night especially.
The pictures say it all:


A "little" wedding by the Hilton at Cocoa Beach. This picture was taken from maybe
30 feet away on the boardwalk. The bride wore a wispy white mini skirted gown with rhinstones that shown in the light. Over that she wore a long see-through like kimona
and she was bare foot.
The groom wore a white tuxedo with a neru
type collar and white patten leather shoes.
They were both about nineteen!
As we got closer we were able to see them
look into each others eyes and while holding
hands recite their vows. It was magical and
they were glowing with love. Their "service"
only lasted a few minutes but it was
inspiring and if you look closely you will see rose petals to the wedding trellis.

My sister and I. The water was cold and our husbands were running in and out of the water taking pictures of us like a bunch of silly kids.

My sister and her husband kissing. This was taken a minutes after the beach wedding (see above with magnifying glass...hahaha) was over the couple and the few guests had left.
We took turns renewing our vows and
posing for pictures. My sister has no problem smooching in public!

Afterward at Dairy Queen.

Love on the beach

My sister is in town.
She arrived at my front door with her "new to me" husband
at 11:00 AM this morning.

I have been anticipating this visit from my New York sister for weeks.
It has been nearly ten years since I last saw her.

She looks lovely.
Her husband adores her.
I easily read vibrational energy.
He's a keeper.

Tonight my husband and I and my sister and her husband
will take a walk on Cocoa Beach.
The moon will be full
and
we will hold our mates hand.

We will soak in the lovely negative ions.
Our feet will sink in the sand.
We will sit on the beach and watch the waves lap on shore line.
We will hear the ocean roar.

Tonight will be filled with laughter.
I am ready to step into this scene.

Wherever you are in the world.....

First thing this morning, I found this uplifting song

in an email from a beautiful woman.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cosNsocHgo

ABBA sings Chiquitita

Now you may have heard this before, but it was a

first for me and it knocked my socks off!

A reminder of who we are and where we came from.

Nuff said!

I love you all,

Iron Man

Gut Feeling

I am grateful that I can feel things in my gut.
I am appreciative for this sense that leads me.

I am grateful that I don't always follow it.
I appreciate the feeling of "tripping over my feet", the contrast, the malfunction!

I am grateful to easily find my way back to feeling powerful again.
I appreciate the contestants on American Idol who expose their humanity.

I am grateful for this day.

I appreciate the nook in my husbands neck that my nose easily finds
and the feeling I get when I hold him and I snuggle there.

I am thankful for the steamy bath tub that awaits later in the day.
I am blessed with a friend to meet for coffee at 12:30.

I am blessed with students, who await the Introductory Karate class this morning
at a local elementary school.
I am blessed with more karate students, more work...hahaha, my 5 PM class today.
YES.....I am blessed with work!

I am grateful to find my connection to source
and
the knowing that all is well as I write and send
and recieve Positive Posts, the daily check in's
and
the delightful pondering's in my head later,
like:
"crunchy blueberries on the roof of my mouth".......hummmmm

My husband. I adore him. He is a brilliant man. He has been working as a computer programmer for too many years and he has a very odd sense of humor.
I however learned to love his humor and we are like two kids, laughing and playing all day.
In fact he acts much like the pink panther, you know hiding and leaping out
and such. I adore him. We make a lovely couple!
: )


Death and laughter

I am happy and appreciative for so many things but especially for laughter.
Last night my husband and I went to the supermarket as we do every Sunday.
We saw a man entering the store and my husband and I both know him.
He is the father of one our Karate students.
If it was a few weeks ago, I wouldn't want to "bump" into him because, I know
he is ill and I know he had gotten worse and then he was better again, it's day
by day, just like everybody else. I was a tad squeamish about being around
negative stuff, but I am no longer so fearful.

I have this new feeling of "power", protected, immortal....eternal....whatever
that, the movie Iron Man gave me. Ha! I am in this bring it on vibe. I can deal with
anything.

So I said to my husband:
"he's wearing a beige shirt with black flowers".
and when we went inside this huge super market, I was actively looking for him.

My husband, however, went straight for the bread and the vegetables, but I wanted to
touch base with this man, so I dragged my husband from his focused
shopping to connect with our in common acquaintance.

From behind he was looking like he lost weight and his skin tone was
orangey/ yellow.
He was looking closely at the meats in the meat section.

My husband who has a very strange sense of humor, got right up close so the man had
to look up and our friend said:

"Oh Sensei Barnhart, how are you doing?"

and
then the typical chit chat about his son and his daughter and their getting
accepted into college.
And my husband who teases and is always with the jokes said.

"So you gonna' stick around for a couple more years".

I couldn't believe my ears, I was horrified, even though I know their
is no death and we are eternal beings, my husband the atheist to
talk about death like that....oh my god, that was shocking.
I mean our friend was looking rather thin and yellow from his liver problem,
but how could he say that?
It was so in my face that all I could see was the death thing, it was so obvious that he
had gone down hill.
Well, our friend replied:
"Yeah, that's the plan, as long as I can".
and then we just kind of nodded and we all shock hands and said our good byes.

Well later that night I mentioned to my husband about the encounter in
the super market and geeeeeeezzzzzzz......
I told him that I couldn't believe my ears.
I might be a little out spoken and a rebel of sorts but
how could he say:
"Are you going to stick around a couple a more years?"

My husband said:

"Oh, we were talking about work. Kennedy Space center is laying off people.
I wasn't talking about his dying".

When my husband told me that, I started to laugh hysterically, because,
I am use to his horrific humor, although that really would have pushed the
boundaries.
I couldn't stop laughing for maybe 5 minutes.
My sides hurt.
Then my husband said....
"Sounds like a Positive Post to me"
: )
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................
Thanks for listening,

P.S. I am thankful that Sharbel is okay. I know Sharbel knows how to find the light

May 11th Weekly intentions

The following are in my mind's eye done and the

feeling is purr-ing-ly
pleased:

My twin sister arrived in from New York with her new husband.
We enjoyed a day of soaking up the beauty and abundance of
what my Florida world offers before they headed to the other coast
to experience her children and grandchildren.
My husband and I took them out for a "slow" fine dinning experience.
We all walked barefoot on the beach hand in hand.
Moments and memories to treasure.

My Wednesday Introductory Karate Group, at the local elementary
school, of 6th graders was a delightful and energizing experience.
Some rascals, some focused....all unique and perfect students.
My husband and I are enjoying sharing our mutual passion of
a love for Shorin-Ryu Karate USA and the joy of propagating it.

(....and this one is a purely selfish...but aren't they all?)
Long time desire / goal deliciously completed.
I have found a local shoe store that sells wide width high off the ground
platform shoes and I am enjoying my decadent pleasure of pain
free summer shoes and that off that ground feeling that brings
me eye height or above my spouse....hahaha...they look fabulous with my new
go with the flow, low profile Florida lifestyle image:
jeans and black tank top.
: )

I enjoyed a Sunday afternoon of listening to Abraham Cds and de-cluttering.
My file cabinets have been purged of old musky useless papers.
Another resistance free afternoon and I can now find easily any papers.

(One last intention)
We have finished the fresh off the tree oranges with oooo...and ahhhh
appreciation. My sister and her husband had the honor of enjoying the
last fresh citrus of the season. I has the honor of hand squeezing
the last remaining fruits as we chatted in my kitchen with some lovely
Sirius, classic music in the background.
I am delighted to share the last fruits and the lovely memories!
DONE!

Many Hands Make the Burden Light


A few days ago, last minute, I was asked to fill in for
another karate school that had canceled to be part of
a Japanese tea ceremony demonstration, the final "act".
I had two days notice for a 45 minute demo.
I responded to the nice lady from
the elementary school office with:

"Yes, of course"!

In my mind (even though we hadn't done a public demonstration
in quite a few years) I felt that I had at least 4 students to join me.
So with a hopeful attitude, I made a few calls.
I was feeling my way with my thoughts and emotions.
Knowing that I am such a ham and the crowd loves me and
that I have been on this path since 1975 and seen just about
every audience and stage you can imagine.
You don't forget how to ride a bike....even if it's been a few years.
Any time my heart would go a little blippy...hahaha...I'd remember
how good it feels bein' up there in the spotlight and I'd sigh with longing!
ummmmmmm.

and then the other side, the worry thought about me being alone
up on the stage and my heart would go back and skip a couple a beats, but
I have a knowing I could do it solo....been there...it is going to be fun, I'd tell myself.

Fortunately, the DAY OF.
I was joined by 3 other adults
and
we had a fabulous demonstration.
How fortunate that for a late morning
demonstration on a Thursday, I had three adults.

We performed for 75 semi-rowdy kids, on a cafeteria stage in a Catholic school.
The vibe went from chaos to orderly free spirited freedom to just a little noisy to total focus,
to jaws dropping......hahahaha
It went well.
Okinawan Karate History, jokes, laughter, Kill Bill Music to kata and a little "magic of karate" thrown in
breaking
and
ohhhhhhhhh.....the sitting on the heels in meditation on the stage in the stillness before and after,
breathing in silence with the crowd.

Not only did my husband, who took time off, from his "computer
programing sit in a cubicle all day" job, but two of my top students
showed up for the 10AM class that day and followed me over to the
event.

The combination of them and the audience plugging in to the same
source energy made the burden light....and rocketed to the vibration
of pure pleasure for all.

My students latter told me:
"We not only enjoyed being in the demonstration, we enjoyed the show"!
Ha!
Many hands and many good thoughts make the burden light!

As I write this the sound of Proud Mary the fast part
is pulsing in my ears!
Ha!

Flops


Today I received a positive post from an on line buddy.
Her post inspires me to be brave!

Flops are good.
I always remember ALL my flops.
hahahah.....
Even the word flop is funny.
To go through life 100 % of the time right or perfect is such a pity,
fortunately, I don't have that problem.
I think of myself as more the Annie Hall type!
Good thing the "stuck in the squat", birthday cake happened
before the day of.

I am laughing and freeing myself of worry.

Today, I so needed to hear about a recipe gone wrong.
Today I will bravely step out of my comfort zone
Today I may have a similar story, only it won't take place in the kitchen
and I too will enjoy the results of my labor!

POWERFUL FEELING

Confession
I saw it!
Iron man
and
I walked out of the theater feeling like a super hero.
My husband said I identified with the character.

after the movie
we did our regular grocery shopping
I noticed a spring in my step I hadn't felt in awhile.
I was smiling and energized.
Like a kid playing who plays with transformers.

Ha!
Superpowers
Identifying with Robert Downey Jr.

Fearless,
Funny and having fun
Ready for anything
Focused
Using his gift
and
Unafraid to speak his mind.

Yup, that's me,
IRON MAN!

I just read this to my husband and he laughed
and changed only one thing:

IRON WOMAN!

However, my vibration is I am IRON MAN....hahahaha

Awful Chick Flick
"A Good year"

starring Russell Crowe as a ruthless Pollyanna....hahahaha

In one sceen, Russel Crowe lands face done in a mucky, muddy swimming
pool, unable to get out.

A "supporting" actress finds him in distress and says:
"I hope you can swim!"

She turns the water on, the pool fill up part way and he struggles to pull himself out.

What some would say is a slow moving, not funny comedy
is
enjoyable to me to watch as I see Law of Allowing play out
and
relationship issues that I have been struggling with in my face
with the simple answer.

The one and only answer to all questions brought to Abraham:
No matter what is "in our face" we all get to selfishly choose
to struggle or have fun with it!
and
Today I am grateful for a recently recurring theme in my life:
So much time, so little to do
and
Free library DVD's

Holding you all close in my heart,

Up here....way up here....longing for you!

Standing on this mountain

surveying all that I see
Way up here
Big breath in, bigger breath out


Grateful for the climb
sitting
head held high
eyes closing
my body releases resistance every exhale
and
going inward


powerful connection to ahhhhhhhhhh-ooommmm
in-hailing the cosmos
exhaling never-ending
Inhale
Exhale

Inhale purr
Exhale soothed


Fully present
flickers of thought

Impulse to move
Eyes flutter

Movement
Big breath in, bigger breath out....aaaaaaaaahh-oooooooooommm

Released
We are home now.
We are oooooooooommmmm NOW!
We are one!

: )

Ahhhhhhhhhh-ohooooo-miningly,
Judy Barnhart
