Post 7 – The Lack of Storms

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

In the middle of listening to Day 9’s audio I had an epiphany. When I used to travel to London a lot the skies would clear and it would become sunny. The fog seemed more akin to that we had occasionally in Malibu, something novel and lifting by late morning. My friends would joke with me about it, “Could you … Read More

Post 6 – Creating the Daunting

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

From the beginning of this adventure I have had a slight disconnect with “Creating the Impossible”. Impassible perhaps (having done that before). Really what I am facing is The Daunting. Fraught with What If’s. But really, what are What If’s? They are akin to refusing to go to the fancy affair in the off chance that one might have toilet … Read More

Post 5 – Ticket in Hand

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

Commitment is when I am in love with something… A decision already made. It is to me an action brimming with transparent thought as forethought has already come and gone. A wave of direction or readiness. I am committed to solidly articulating my objectives come the morning of Sunday, 17 January 2016. (As today I am committed to heading out … Read More

Post 4 – Dancing with Giants

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

In my world it is standing room only when it comes to ethereal assistance. Giants, menehune, tree sprights, the next door neighbors. The daunting part is what to ask for. Having had my mind set on certain goals in my youth and realizing after willfully achieving them what a disaster it was in the long term, I hope that by … Read More

Post 3 – Enquiry

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

As I have in the past literally been down hundreds of jetways in various countries this will be yet another adventure with a different currency… But I can’t help feeling like Mr. Weasly enquiring of Harry, “Tell me… What exactly is the function of a rubber duck?”

Post 2 – A Frequent Call

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

I have for some time put a frequent call out into the Universe (way past the blue sky of our sphere) for a request that each and every conscious being have a chance, even if it is only for 15 or 20 minutes to not just understand academically, but to FEEL the unbridled joy of Kindness, Creativity well placed, support … Read More

Post 1 – Monstrous Habits

Michaele AlexanderA Grand Discovery

While my outer self participated in the call yesterday I began to observe various Ways of Being filtering through me that no longer suited my own. As I watched them evaporate by choice (as apparitions will do when seen for what they are) I came to the conclusion that I shall now recognize and engage the monster hidden beneath. One … Read More

Time to Get Back to the Yarden

Michaele AlexanderOur Yarden

So what really is a “Yarden” you might ask. Since it is a word I made up long ago, I will tell you. To our family it is what our suburbanish yard has become in the last few years since we moved from Southern California to Nevada. It means a yard garden full of food of questionable nature (“what is … Read More

Make Believe on All Hallow’s Eve

Michaele AlexanderThoughts on Things

It saddens my heart to think that by and large today’s kids (and big people) no longer have the same opportunity for relationship with October 31st as I once did.  There are, of course, still cultures which honor the times when it is believed that the separation between those here on the earthly plane and those who have gone on … Read More
