Check out the new blog I started!

Drea’s Intuition

I decided to create a blog specific to my Intuitive Development, but I am still going to update this blog with Random Ramblings and excerpts from my everyday life. 

It was about a year ago that I started to become more aware of the fact that there was more to my life than going to a job that I didn’t love and feeling like I had no purpose in life.  I then decided to seriously start my quest into the world of spirituality and intuitive living.  I has started reading books on developing your intuition, but I felt like I needed something more hands on. I went to a class on Reiki Energy Healing and completed my Level One Reiki and received my certificate.  This was the start to my journey in intuitive development.   I am really glad I took that course and I think it’s a great way to start out.  I did a lot of self-healing practice and I really started to feel like there was so much more to learn.

At the same time, I was also going to a meditation circle that met once a month and did different meditation exercises, which was really neat too.  I found it a bit overwhelming the first time because I am able to feel the energy of other people fairly well and I wasn’t quite sure on how to block out the energy of the different people at the time.  The second time around was a bit easier on me!  This was another great way for me to start out my development.

About 6 months later I was able to start seeing a mentor regularly and have been seeing her every month since.  We have been working on meditations, self-discovery and other exercises to help develop my intuition.  It has been an amazing couple of months (4-5) so far!  I have learned a lot and I feel like I am growing every day.  I am becoming more and more aware of where my gifts lie.

I am looking forward to blogging about my progress and sharing my stories with you!

For some reason, people that visit my home don’t seem to be aware of this fabulous wood saving technology and I am forever running after them putting coasters under their drinks.  It even seems that the direct hint I am giving them goes right over their heads and their drinks end up beside the coaster instead of on it.  I am convinced that the coaster isn’t as well known as I thought it was!

If this technology is new to you, please feel free to send this post to your friends and family.  I bet that once this fantastic home accessory goes mainstream, there will be thousands of people knocking down your door to thank you for introducing them to it!

• a small dish, tray, or mat, esp. for placing under a glass to protect a table from moisture.

LifeGem Created Diamonds is a company that takes the cremated ashes of a loved one and turns them into a diamond for you to wear.  You are able to choose size, colour, and cut of your gemstone and the prices range from $3,199 - $24,999. 

So, how do they do this exactly?  Basically, they take a carbon source (cremation ashes or lock of hair) of a loved one and recreate the “forces of nature” to create your diamond.  Each diamond is unique as it will have its own individual hue within the colour family that you choose.

They are able to create over 100 high quality diamonds from each individual person from only 8 ounces of cremated remains.  This process takes anywhere from 6-9 months and families are given Internet access for status updates at any time.  You can visit their website at www.lifegem.com

When I first read about this concept I was shocked, but also intrigued by it.  However, the more that I have read about it and digested this new way of memorializing someone, the more I like the idea.  I personally would like to be a green diamond!  What colour would you be?

Let’s just say that it brings new meaning to the saying, “ Diamonds are forever… “

I was 12 years old and on a family trip out to visit my grandparents for dinner one Sunday.  I was kinda bored and looking for something to do, so I decided to go outside and sit on the porch.  Well, my grandfather had this squirrel that would come to visit him everyday and get peanuts off of his deck railing and I thought it would be a great idea to “train” the squirrel to do tricks by using these peanuts as bait.  So off I go, calling this squirrel over, which took about 30 minutes in itself.  I thought I was the greatest…getting this squirrel to come over to me to get a peanut!  Being the over-achiever that I was, I decided that it would be a GREAT idea to train this squirrel even further!! Why not get him to take peanuts from my pocket or even right out of my mouth??!  Man, wouldn’t I be the coolest 7th grader around for achieving this!

The first step though was to get the squirrel to take the peanut out of my hand, which after another 30 minutes at least, he was finally doing. I was soooo excited!! Now I will get him to run up my leg! One step closer to that pocket, I’m thinking!  So, about half way up my leg I guess the squirrel had a change of heart and felt that I was taking too long giving him that next peanut, so he decided to grab my hand and take a big bite out of my pinkie finger.  Let me tell you, after the amazement of the amount of blood I saw coming from my finger…I screamed so loud that not only did the whole neighborhood come rushing out at mach ten, I am pretty sure I gave myself temporary deafness for a couple of days.

After the hyperventilating and crying subsided somewhat I was able to tell my parents what had happened and off they carted me to the emergency room fearing I had rabies from this squirrel.  Luckily, the doctor reassured my parents that all I needed was a Tetanus shot.  So, off I go with my war wound all bandaged up and a newly acquired Tetanus vaccination, but really, I was only thinking about the wicked cool story I was going to tell all of my friends the next day at school!

Can we call this a happy ending to a crazy afternoon?  Depends on who you ask.  All I know, is that I never did see that squirrel again…and when I asked my grandpa where the squirrel went, all I got for an answer was that he “moved out”.
