Looking Deep, Not Liking the Ripples in the Pool
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. In a discussion of relationship dynamics, my lunch partner made a disturbing remark, but I think maybe she was right. “People who grow up believing that a ‘close relationship’ is always going to be a battleground and that you’d better hide your inner core…

God Watches over Fools and Over-40 Eyes
And in further news today….additional evidence that God watches over fools. A quick trip to the pharmacy was all I needed to decide it’s time to get new contact lenses. I waited patiently in line for an older-than-dirt couple to pay and toddle out and then I quickly and efficiently made my purchase and headed…

Saved by Bells
The Universe takes care of me in odd little ways. Sometimes it’s like having a personal assistant or a keeper when I’m otherwise too frazzled to either remember or to figure out what I need to be doing. Most of my recent examples have to do with electronics, I suppose, but then that’s easily manipulated…

Just Tickled
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. “You are working miracles,” Obi-Wan told me a few days ago, “with quiet love and spirituality and beauty.” It’s funny that she’d say that. She doesn’t know I wear the silver band on my right hand that says “Allow Miracles.” I thought I was…

Epiphany! Loving with Your Shields Down
It turned out to be wonderful. I got caught in the rain. Without an umbrella. I didn’t mean to. I’d tried to plan ahead so I could run to the car for my umbrella early in the day, but I got busy with work and overtime and then there I was heading for the car…

Letting Go and Letting Gods?
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. “Fire Burning in Water.” Still. The Law of Attraction novel of Lauren Hartford’s that tells a rather disturbing story and will probably alienate all of the fans of the Jesse Matthews’ character. Book #3 of The Priestess Diaries, and our hero isn’t exactly heroic…

Goth Music: The Dichotomy That Is Lorna
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Rising. It’s a good thing I’ve given up trying to fit anyone else’s mold for me or I’d be really miserable… a shadow of my own self. Been there, done that, as they used to say. The funny thing is how many Law of Attraction Pollyannas…

Where the Heart Isn’t
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. One of the saddest things I saw this past week was the emotional meltdown of an artist I’ve known for around 15 years. It’s one of those cases that make you believe in the fairytale of only one true love out there for each…

Doing the Crab-Walk
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. I am crab-walking this year. It’s okay—I’m resigned to it. It’s only temporary, and the worst of it will be done in six months. So much good is happening for me now, especially on an internal level, and yet there’s a frustration about this…

The Most Damaging Missile to a Relationship
The deejay was keeping us tuned in via a list of the top ten most damaging things a couple (or really, any two people) can do to each other in a relationship. It was aimed more at love relationships, but most of the list fit with friendships and business partnerships as well. They did the…

Showing Her Cards
Four in the morning, headache splitting, and the urge to throw protection over someone I love. Instead I sit with it. Allowing miracles. Watching the cat play with her pretty bird.

Resurrection Meditation: Following into the Dark
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Rising. One of the great things about having a leisurely (by comparison) weekend is having the chance to spend a little time working on my spiritual pursuits. My meditations have been shortchanged with all the excess work recently, and I’ve found that when I’ve had time…
