Gifts

Why don’t we give ourself gifts?  We give gifts to others for their birthday, special day, holidays.  Giving feels good.  We watch while the giftee opens ours and we feel good when they smile because they like what we gave them.  We feel good.  Isn’t that what it’s all about, feeling good?  Let’s give ourself gifts.  We can go on a search for our gift right now, thinking about the giftee (us), go outside, track down a dandelion, pick it, bring it in, put it in water, then take a good look at its beauty – wow!  The dandelion is happy.  It’s especially happy today because it’s being appreciated.  That’s how we want to feel – happy and appreciated.  Next time pick two and give one away.  You will feel good, the two dandelions will feel happy, and the other person will feel good receiving a gift.

Celebrate Change

It’s been a while since I posted and a lot has changed.  Laura and my radio show is in hiatus.  I sure learned a lot interviewing folks and using my own intuition on ‘readings’.  There are some great consciousness changing things happening in our world right now and I’m truly happy that I’m a part of all of it.

I’ve been working on my website.  I must admit I’m technology challenged.  After 3 hours trying to fix the smallest little things on my website I lost it and used some pretty harsh language then had to clean that negative cloud out of the room before I could try to continue on.  So, if you see imperfections just know that my website is a work in progress, boy oh boy is it a work………*&$%#@………. ok I’m done with it for today, www.terrymillsch.com .

Today I am celebrating ……..

..the georgeous weather we’re having in the Puget Sound area.  It’s been a long while since it’s been this sunny and warm.  All the flowers are blooming (a beautiful site) and I picked 9 big red juicy strawberries from my garden and ate all of them. 

..that we have this fabulous, yet tricky, technology to use and to connect us with each other 

..that I am fabulously healthy

..that I have such a beautiful family and wonderful friends

..that I have challenges to learn through (ok, I guess I need to learn to be more patient, breathe deeply more often and meditate instead of swear)

..that I found a warm fuzzy blog written by Jen Lemen, http://jenlemen.com/blog?p=183  In this post Jen has a list of wonderful “Wouldn’t it be awesome if..” ideas, like “you could show up on any doorstep in American with a chocolate cake and say, “I had a feeling something good is about to happen inside this house so I wanted you to have this…for the celebration” and it would seem completely normal”.  Take a look at her list, and her blog, it’s creative,  warm and fuzzy blog.  A friend asked me which would I do.  I’m planning on doing the chocolate cake idea.  I’m thinking about who to give it to.  Which would you do?  Do you have some of your own?

..that there are creative, warm and fuzzy people for me to learn from

Changes

There have been lots of changes in my life in the past 6 weeks.  They all occurred because I paid attention to the opportunities that came my way.  I said, “Yes” to every opportunity that ‘felt’ right and good to me. 

A big opportunity was the radio show which I co-hosted with my friend Laura, “Consider This with Laura & Terry”.  Being on the show opened up new avenues of knowledge for me and helped me to bring out talents I had that were inside just bursting to get out.  It was exciting and FUN to chat with folks with alternative wellness perspectives.  There are many, many different and diverse healing modalities and I’m learning and learning.  I think sharing knowledge is one way to help heal this world we live in.  Knowledge is power.

Taking a risk and having fun.

I can remember all the times in my life when I didn’t take the risk of trying something new because I was too scared of what would happen.  I would wait until someone else tried it first and even then I would think about it a little more before I got up enough nerve to try it.  I stayed in my own little world, all safe and snug, while others were out there testing the water and having fun. 

One day I decided that I would need to try one new thing before I reached the age of 120 without ever having taken a risk.  I dipped my toe in with trepidation and then all five toes and then both feet.  I stopped, looked around to see if the “risk cops” were coming to arrest me and I checked to see if I was hurt and/or bleeding.  Nothing happened.  Nothing at all.  Except that I got my feet wet, and the feeling of the water around my ankles was WONDERFUL.  It was fun to outwit the fear.  It was the best taste of freedom I had ever had.
