Keep Calm and Carry On

Applying this saying to seem like slow moving days. With the ring tone in my head "The Sun'll Come Out".

My Thoughts for Right Now...

If we all pull together in a Positive approach every time we greet someone in passing then we can create an awaking shift. There is nothing to fear other than getting stuck in one's ego. If you love someone pray that you can begin to understand there feelings, other than your own. Embrace your feelings, don't numb them with drugs. Go inward, and do not question these thoughts for I promise you we all have them. The outcome will only be that it strengthens you. Is this so scary to endure? We pray to God for help and he sends us small gifts every breath we take. Stop, breathe, receive, its all happening.

-Release Me-

We all must have a release button. If not released we have all this darkness that starts to fester inside. Some of us are very structured which is good if you can handle when things become UN-structured out of one's control. I find that I as well as watching others that we play as a distraction for others by carrying the burdens of worrying over another. I work daily in releasing though momentary feelings. If I choose not to they become toxic to me. We begin to wonder why we are so tense, and sore all the time. We may just simply forget to stop and breathe. Writing in this blog is becoming newly addictive, yet healing for me. I am releasing. Did you know that we are all healers? Actually it is said that when we feel the need to help someone it is something we are wanting to heal within ourselves. It is a beautiful thing when it becomes an exchange on energies, and not over-taken by another. If so we must be aware of the signs and quickly grab our chalk and draw a circle around us. Quickly now I say, we mustn't hesitate on this very note. Fear , I say is not existent! It is something we create in our ego. Such as I. I get lost there (my ego) more than I like to count. Knowing better doesn't change anything other than becoming stronger in over coming it. If I had my honest choice I would live on an Island with my Husband, and animals where there would be no speak of English other than ours. Then again I wouldn't grow so much for the only challenge may be is finding food. As C.S. Lewis once stated, "If we didn't have the negatives, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the positives." He said it some way like that. Or maybe it was in one of his movies. I liiike it anyway. So true C.S., so true. Keep telling me...

A poem I'm making up as I type along.

If I get lost will you point me in your honest direction. Or will you wither and hold back for fear of me getting ahead. Can I slow down in hopes of walking beside you? Will you share with me truth's in what you speak? Or shalt I prefer we didn't speak at all. Is it safe to let you in? Or shall I create a Labyrinth around me. At last I have decided to throw my self into courage's fate, and not wither to the idea of being complete.

Some quotes that are not letting me sleep at night...
Shall I share.?.

-The simple things in life are the hardest things to grasp, especially when they're right in front of you.-

-My Right, Your Right, everyone has Rights...As well as choices.-

-If you want to help someone, say it with a loving tone.-

-Who needs Power? When you have Knowledge.-

-The light is not always ahead of us, it's inside of us.-

-Give yourself back a little extra than what you just give.-

-Don't be afraid to shine your light. When you shine your light you teach me how to, to.-

-You're going to have to walk it off.-

-My feelings don't turn on and off like a light switch.-

-If I say I love you, then there's no taking it back. I just may not subject myself to you, but I still love you.-

-If your real, then stay real!-

-I'm like a fish in the water you've just caught, you're either going to pull me in, or let me go.-

-I'm standing out in the middle of the Hwy. Naked-n- fully exposed! What will you have of me now.-

-Can you spare me some good energy?-

I love being a shop owner. I get to express what's going on in my head without saying a thing. The name "Collectibles" is a collection of life. I get asked all the time If I am an "Antique" business other than the fact of 4yrs. of being in business and telling the phone company I am not an Antique Shop. I'm still listed as. But no, I am a collection of life. I have a collection of cherry picked boutique wines, vintage inspired gifts that warms the heart and reminds you of simpler times forgotten but still admired. Everything, down to my wine selection has a story behind it. Wines mostly remind me of food, or the scents take back to my childhood growing up on the farm. To, another reason why I carry another collection which is my aromatherapy oils which not only is the gift of healing but the sense releases emotional baggage. I love to read, so I have a small assortment of good books for the soul. My business is actually set up in a house that was built in 1940. So every room has a theme to it. The kitchen, well there's food in there for sure. Gourmet treats that is. My cheese is in the fridge, and there's goodies you can eat right off the shelf or go home and tell everyone that yes, you made it right from scratch. I have a sweet little baby room in the bedroom. Bedroom's have a tendency to make babies so got you covered there. In the parlour you can relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine reading a good book, or spending time with a friend. You can always go outside and enjoy the fresh air out on the patio. I like to think of my business as a happy place, to well...just simply be. No need for explanations for why you stop in. Just happy that you do.

Well today is a beautiful day! I read a saying yesterday and it said a little something like this.
"In all beauty you will find cracks, how else can the light get in?" I like this. I'm trying to find the beauty in all things. It's hard being distracted by the physical needs of daily ta gents. My needs, and everyone Else's needs. Everyone is needing something. I read another saying in a book one time where this Cherokee Grandmother was raising her Grandson due to his parents death. She would read to her grandson, and husband every evening whether it be a history book or something out of the bible. One day as she got done reading she looked up at her Grandson and said this. You know son, everyone has two sides to them. There spirit side, and there physical side. We have a tendency to overfeed our physical side, and lack in feeding our spiritual side. She then says you know, there sure is a lot of dead people walking around here...
For me feeding my spiritual side is getting sunshine exposed in many places I can before 12:00 in the afternoon hits. Then in the evening I like to go outside and lay in my hammock and look up at the stars. I get lucky a lot because I see all kinds of wild things. Shooting, Falling, red/green/blue stars. A couple of times I've seen sparks from a star shooting by that looked so close I could almost touch it. I wish, I wish I could live on my families farm with my wonderful partner and friend, David. With our crazy animals and never have to deal with human contact other than nature again. just kidding...or am i? that is the question... But you know we all have to sprinkle our good deeds around,m-hmm. I work daily on finding the beauty in all things a habit that has not yet found its yin/yang just yet. Oh! On a grander note has anyone noticed the dandy lions flying around lately? Wow-Ah! I bet there's fairies taking rides on them going weeeeehhhh! How Grand.

Amazing...this is my first blog I have conducted hence the title, "Dare to be wrong". I see here already that there is no spell checker. Scary, unless I have overlooked something. Well I am excited to get started! First I'll get you somewhat familiarised with me. For starters, I speak in "Chrissy-isms" you will understand the meaning sooner than later. I am a "Wild Succulent Woman" who Dares to be wrong, and Free! At 20yrs. old I bought a business, it was a Hair Salon, and I had no license. I was still going to school and had a wonderful opportunity to owner-finance. Eventually I did get my hair license, and had a thriving business for over 6yrs. To be honest I had hit a wall, and felt like I was drowning into everyone Else's lives and lost myself. Then, as Fairy Tales will have it. Destiny steps in and saves me as I cry out to the Darkened Skies to God while driving home and my reply was the hugest falling star I had ever seen...Soon (the next day) to find out the man I had been seeing, for mmm. 4 weeks popped the question the very next day and my life with him has sure been daily bliss.
Now we are both self-employed once again David, my husband and me. David, running a demanding decorative concrete business, and me running a Vintage Inspired Boutique Store/Wine and Cheese business. We stay happily busy, and even busier soon seeing that after 5yrs. of sheer bliss we have another one of us on the way. So as I jump out on yet another leap of faith...writing this blog. Seeing that truly this is so very new to me. I shall continue on soon with new and heightening adventures!

Oh goody! I just found the spell checker!

Yeah!
