The Time Sink Also Known as Dating
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. The thing I really hate about dating? It’s such a time sink. I’m not talking about investing in a relationship where the rewards will hopefully be joy and growth, but just the pre-screening process of figuring out if you even want to spend…

Powerful Question— and Even More Powerful Answer
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. A powerful question came up in a discussion with someone who told us he didn’t feel worthy of being loved. Knowing him and his easy-going nature and charismatic draw, this didn’t make sense until we looked at his history of marriages and serious…

Object Lessons
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. In the past, I always prided myself on not objectifying people, men in particular. That’s changing. In the past, I always looked at the person, but now I’m learning a new facet. Objectification is not something I’m unfamiliar with. I distinctly remember discovering…

Movie Thoughts: PREMONITION
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I finally saw Sandra Bullock’s Premonition last night. The girls and I had wanted to see the movie ever since we saw the trailer. It looked like it had all the stuff I love—suspense, a little bit of time travel, fighting the forces…

Daily Life
It’s been said that I notice little details of life that other people miss. I don’t think of them that way. It’s just everyday life. It’s always a joy when other people see those little details, too. On a tree that Shannon and I walk under on just about every walk we take, last season’s…

I’m Grateful for… Cheap Car Insurance!
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Gratitude lists are in vogue these days. I’ve kept them for years but I don’t normally publish them. However, today I’m feeling particularly grateful for…cheap car insurance! Not that it’s particularly cheap. Or inexpensive. It’s just that we made some good moves when…

Experimentation with Universal Laws: Knowing When Free Will Is Being Impeded
We decided to try a little experiment, testing some Universal Laws to see how they applied to given situations and how they can be impeded. Just…let’s put this out there and see what happens and see how long it takes before we see any effect. The answer to the second question? Less than 3 hours.…

Stuck in the Past
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. It’s funny how people you haven’t spoken with in months or even years can communicate out of the blue and assume they know what’s going on in your life. Sometimes the messages are ambiguous at best and insane at worst. They just don’t…

Hitching a Ride in a Meditation
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. Not at all what I expected! I don’t usually travel elsewhere in my meditations but rather, I let the Higher Self of others come to me. That way, I don’t feel I’m intruding or invading their dreams while they sleep, as it’s been…

A Plethora of Possibilities
Ask and ye shall receive? Well, yes. The end-result of what I want has never been handed to me on a silver platter, but the way to get there always has been. It’s been up to me to recognize the possibilities and take the action to make it happen. In many cases, it’s happened anyway…

Law of Attraction Meanies
I finally figured out what makes me so disapproving of some of the Law of Attraction teachers I’ve encountered (other than the spammers who read one post of my 2000-post journal and jump to conclusions). Seriously, this is a Cyndi Lauper Girls-just-wanna-have-fun-video palm slap to the forehead. I understand the hot-button connection. When I realized…

What Not to Wear, Who Not to Date
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. I seldom go out with a guy without knowing something about him astrologically. If I know his birthday, well, that’s great. If I know his birth time and place, even better! It’s like having an instant personality profile, and thus far, it’s been…
