Can't hug my friend.

2011-03-14T17:02:00.000-07:00

Lost a childhood friend yesterday, and even know I will not be able to hug you the next time I'd hope to run into you I will hold onto our cherished times spent. I relish in the fact that dying is just as beautiful as living. Cannot seem to get the song out of my head where the chorus goes "I'm Coming Home" by p-diddy. Tommie, you were a large role in my life growing up now I'll have to spend the rest of this life without having to catch up on the latest laugh with you. I know you are still laughing, and growing, and learning and I am comforted by this. There were a lot of times you would like to talk about God, and death, and what's labeled as a "Good Person." Now I feel rest assured that you are rest assured. You were a "Real One" Tommie. Not enough of you going around these days. This is my last letter to you even though it has been quite awhile since my last one. I got you Tommie, and I truly did, and always will truly love you...my friend. See you in the after life brother...

Love,

Me

Mornen to ya.

I recently starting indulging in a cup of "Joe" in the mornen with a dollop of honey and it's got my mind runnen wild! The creative juices are flowing. Needing to out pour on something before I overload.
How bout this for starters. I had a dream last night that I walked to the end of a dock and found two human size owls standing there which my husband introduced to me. With my Animal guide "Blue Heron" resting its head on my shoulder. I fed him what looked to be pieces of dog food. I woke up with lack of sleep feeling warm and cozy.

Add that to your mornen "Joe"

2011-01-09T06:23:00.000-08:00

Grand or and Grand or this is how life begins and comes around again. and again. What you in-vision is your life's reality. You create your own obstacles, and hurdles for your soul to learn. Embrace your darkness for without it there would be no light to shine. Do not get caught up in the illusion, and become sure footed in every step you take. Listen with your heart you will save energy in moaning and exert to extra energy for growing. Tell me something good when you meet me. Dispose the negative on the side of the road. Call on your heavenly helpers to give you signs. Ask and you shall receive.

Here's a little something to all the lovelies that I'm graced by daily.

In the sight of your rawness makes me whole. What a great feeling to exchange refreshing feelings. You inspire me to not match anything in my life but to throw it together as it comes my way. Pieces of every moment in truth happiness makes me tingle. Sparkles break through in my laughter with you. What a great feeling to laugh from the gut and to mean it. Growth helps me find the beauty inside of me. Embrace what is real and truly feel it.

My nephew taught me something yesterday. He says this...

Take a person drowning as a metaphor. If you dive in to save them there pretty much going to pull you down to rise above you and save themselves.

It's the same thing when people do things that we don' always understand.

Prevailing Selfish Thoughts;

2010-04-14T10:51:00.000-07:00

Prevailing selfish thoughts create a general disharmony. The destructive energy of these thoughts extends beyond this planet into the cosmos. Perhaps the unusual current weather reflects the disturbances that are flowing through the group consciousness of the human race. The future is not fixed, and that we have control of our own destinies. We must believe this is correct, that it is possible for us to avoid any terrible past fates.

This tells the story of me...

2010-04-14T10:44:00.000-07:00

There is a story that one day a student offered Einstein a unique interpretation of a problem. When the distinguished scientist asked how the young person had arrived at that solution, the student replied that it had just come to him. Einstein replied, "Good, if you had told me anything else I wouldn't have believed you."

INSTINCT!

2010-04-10T06:39:00.000-07:00

Here's My personal endeavor on "Instinct",

My Family has a large open field farm down the rd. from where I live. I crave leaving work every day to go out there and walk it. There's an "Old Plantation House, and barns and its right on the beautiful White Oak River. I really do sing I'm off to see the Wizard every time I'm there cause in the summer theres soy beans planted and everything is green. With all this beauty being said and I could add more I'll cut to the chase.
In such beautiful serene places we can find ourselves getting lost in the moment and truly starting to let our guards down. For me I always ask my Angels to protect me wherever I go. I feel that with future creative outlets, or warnings the angels communicate with us. If we don't pay attention we could miss the signs. The Last 3 Visits to the Farm I got a strong feeling. Then I saw the vision in my mind. It was a cub...then the momma bear. I brushed it off the first time. The second visit it was more clearer. By the third time I did not see it hurt me but the cub was coming near me. By the second time I glanced in my mind what I would do if a bear approached me. By the third time I Knew that I would have to curl up in fetal position. Honestly the first vision I thought my A double s is going to run!
Well. Sure enough my husband, and friend and I went for a walk last night. We usually walk straight on the path but cut through the field. On our way back on the clear path that we drive on after a fresh rain the night before we spotted all down the straight trail fresh paw prints from an afternoon stroll with cub prints, and a 250 pound bear print. The claw indention's made there point as well. So my moral of my story if you haven't gotten it by now. Is in the most calming experiences always listen to your instinct.

Euphorias Menu

Dear Christina,
This is dedicated to my customers who want to feel there very best, "Always".
If anything here I write applies to you I encourage you to print for your own records at hand.

What are PURE, THERAPEUTIC-GRADE essential oils?
Essential oils are the volatile liquids that are distilled from plants (including their respective parts such as seeds,bark,leaves, stems, roots,flowers, fruit etc.) It can take up to One ton of Plant mass matter to make one little vile of oil.

How Do you Benefit with essential oils, you may ask?
1.} Essential oils are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune defense properties of plants.
2.} Disease begins when the cells lack the oxygen for proper nutrient assimilation. By providing the needed oxygen, essential oils also work to stimulate the immune system. (Hint) Prevention of getting sick, and get over being sick. Just to graze the surface for you, here you go.

Change Your Mind.

2010-03-03T09:55:00.000-08:00

Last Night I experienced for the first time a 'Self Hypnosis. I have to say that this is the most relaxed I can remember feeling. Give by a friend of mine, "Art McMurtrey", who has been in demand at Hypnotherapy Conferences across the US with discussion on varied topics including his work in the Prison System, Hynodontics, a successful way to lose your fear of the Dentist, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, to mention a few. He has been practicing for over 30 yrs. I have learned that there is more to hypnosis than learning to quit smoking or losing weight. Any problem you think about can be addressed through hypnotherapy. Art specializes in complementary and alternative health, using the team approach for health care; to help sports enhancement, especially golf. With his patients in mind, his is constantly studying and learning to improve his methods. Art has given me a gift, -n- for this I will be forever thankful for my friend. I plan on using this method as I strongly want to achieve a natural child birth. I will keep you posted on how this pans out for me. In the meantime digest this thought and know soon, but not soon enough I will be having Art coming to the shop doing Workshops on his expertise. Keep your Mantra's Happy!

Feeling Whole.

2010-02-24T10:38:00.000-08:00

Did you realize that you are born whole. As we grown older, and venture out to find new experiences we somehow get away from that whole feeling. We create this adapting world around us where we won't to stand out and be unique but are afraid of not being accepted. We're embarassed by some of our actions of how we have repeated to others what has been done unto us. Instead of stopping and observing the moment and breaking the chain of events. Finding ourselves having the same problems diff. face, or another cycle. It keeps replaying itself. It's like a bully. A bully can only bully you as long as you allow them to. The closer you strive to feeling that "whole" feeling again note that the world gets tougher around you>But it's O.K. because it only means your that close. Once you reach it they can't touch you. It's getting back to your core center and being neutral to anyone Else's negativity and only absorbing positive energy. Negative energy has a low frequency that drags you down. Even when it's not your bad day your carrying. It's good to be open, but shield yourself...

Did you Know...I didn't even think about it!

That sitting in front of our computers we are exposing ourselves to more radiation than standing in front of a microwave!? My girlfriend works at the dentist office across the street and she was telling me that they get tested once a month for radiation exposure. Get this.

Water

2010-02-16T12:06:00.000-08:00

The Importance of Water-
Ironic, that this subject has been arising around me for about 2 months now. My herbalist begins shortly after telling me she's getting all these messages about water. Another friend of mine tells me how North Carolina has one of the highest ratings of Dirty Water.(Scary). She also tells me that there is a county somewhere in N.C. where men are growing man boobs and how people are dumping meds. in the toilet and run off from chemicals etc. etc. Really think about this if you live near a Hospital. Another scary thing is the town next to my shop almost everyone on a particular street are being diagnosed with Cancer. If that don't get you thinken. There seems to be a lot of truth in the saying "Must be something in the Water." Really. Have you noticed how more and more people are becoming diagnosed with Cancer? Are bodies are the biggest pore and when we're taking hot showers we're opening our pores wider to absorb the chlorine and who knows what else in our water. Oddly enough, then again not really. Dr. Oz had a show yesterday about Water. He said that 10min. Luke warm baths was the best for you. I just received a filter for my shower head, even though I have a well, and culligan water softer I still had allergy effects after my short showers that I take. Immediately I am breathing better and my skin, hair feels softer. I ordered it from Amazon it's called "Aquasauna." Look into it I give it a 5 star. Its got so much pressure on high stream if you get the massage wand that it'll take the first layer of skin off of you. If your looking for a microdermabrasion. HAHA! You can turn it down though. -n- My husband said there wouldn't be enough pressure, HA Again! I encourage you my loved ones to really investigate your water. Sending your water loving, positive prayers before bathing, drinking, cooking will help elevate its frequency as it enters your body. Remember it's not the physical part of us that is our core. It's the spirit that lies beneath the shell. Cherish it, and life becomes more simpler, and peaceful.xoxoxo

Bones

2010-02-02T13:24:00.000-08:00

So I went to a wonderful class last night. It was at my holistic nurse, Dea Daniels. I'm still soaking it all in. It was so very enlightening. Surrounded by amazing healthy foods, and wonderful people! I'm excited about my new journey on awareness on how I eat for my bones. Our bones are like the foundation to our temple. Did you know no matter how dense or hollow your bones are without the proper minerals, and nutrients they could still snap. They need the nutrients for flexibility. I always thought strong bones were the only key. It all makes sense to me now. We can also get more vitamins and nutrients just by eating properly verses having to take so many tablets. I'm just so excited. It only saddens me a little more that we don't have a whole food store. Hell I'd probably would work there and still run the business just so I could learn so much more. I feel GREAT!

May I write...

2010-01-23T18:32:00.000-08:00

What a Wonderful ending to a Beautiful Day! Ahhh it feels so good to have seen my friends,and family come out today to be enlightened about there health. Just to have taken the time and reaching to learn I can't even describe the feeling inside. I must share, my Dad...when he over heard me talking about my holistic nurse being at the shop today he said call me I'll be there. My first ego comment was "yeah" I'll believe that when I see it. I think we all get to a point where we feel like we've heard a lot of things that we haven't seen. Well I called him. Sure enough he come. This Folks is HUGE! Sometimes you may find this hard to believe. I actually hold back on all of my feelings. I want to share share share even more and I can envision every one's brains opening up and people wanting to learn, and feel there best! If I am a manifest/or than I say now on one person at a time I am making this happen. I'm starting to put myself out there more and I've learned quickly that it's not as scary as I thought! Surprise. But you know what I'm really starting to get is the little things. The itsy bitsy small tinny Winny little things. It's remarkable actually. Too, I've learned that living in this troubling economy is really not all that bad. I've had to stop, and reflect more on what my next move will be. It's quite stimulating. I was actually starting to get a little spoiled/bored attitude. I'm working daily in getting out of my loved ones paths as well and letting them find there own direction. Mind you I said working on it but not quite accomplished fully just yet. You know I thought I was so anti-technology blogging, face book. But I think I've found my place in it. I'm like a kid in the candy store but I'm still going for all the vintage candy. Don't push me along to quickly because I'll abuse this to. Taking it all in as I go along for the ride................. .

Dag on it. I've figured out how to get my face book badge, but I look like a loser because I don't know how to send it out for people to become a fan. HeLp! I'm melting, melting. I'll get it figured out by tomorrow. Going to rest now...

This is a cute, short story about my mom's dog "Blue".

Last Night Mom and Me were ordering Pizza from Domino's Pizza from my shop. Something my Mom must do often seeing that when your number comes up they connect with your address where to deliver. So my Mom asks, do you have the address? Well it was a good thing she asked because apparently they had simply recognized her voice and thought it was going to her business which mind you they had her address memorized. Well here's the funny part. Before my Mom begins to hang up they ask...would blue like ranch dressing with his chicken wings? Apparently she forgot to request. Come to find out they have personal notes at Domino's Pizza of what type of chicken wings, and side that blue likes. This just reminds me of something someone told me once. Even though we get tired of living in a small town at times, when you need people they pull together. Just from this story of how Domino's Pizza has "Blue" in there best interest tells me something. HA!HA! To Cute I Say!

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...

2009-11-13T09:34:00.000-08:00

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-

2009-11-10T12:48:00.000-08:00

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...

2009-11-10T12:11:00.000-08:00

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.

2009-11-10T08:41:00.000-08:00

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!
