Two Tools for Dealing
A couple of things have really helped me over the past year or two. They’ve been excellent for not getting sucked into the usual situations.

Lives Hanging in the Balance
When I was a little girl, I loved playing on the see-saw. It required a partner of some reasonable level of equality—one who wouldn’t get me near the top and bail on me, one who was content to alternate flying through the air, one who delighted just as much as I did in getting to…

Revealing Conversations and Submissive Men
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Truth. Blame it on the moon in Scorpio, but I had a rather enlightening conversation yesterday with an old friend who recently confessed that he’s a submissive and has been living the life of his choice for the past decade. I’ll disguise his description and…

The Progress of Not Expanding
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. My mentor looks at the past month and sees what I cannot. I’ve really come to appreciate her objectivity. What seems like a month when I’ve been stuck in a mud hole to spin my wheels has instead been very productive. The results, however, can’t…

Burning Up Old Desires
It’s really not that everything in my life is drama, but in looking at old issues and pains, things I held in and never cleared out, more than I could ever have imagined comes up. Once it’s brought into the light, I can burn up and burn away those old hurts, except for what remains…

Epiphany #48,289,837
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Crimes to the Third Degree. Ironic, isn’t it? Some of the best intuitives I’ve ever known cannot see for themselves and help themselves in the same way they see for and help other people. At a Friday spiritual Gathering, I offhandedly mention how often I’ve been berated for…

What Do You Have to Lose?
We were discussing fear today, this friend and I. Then tonight, my elder daughter and I talked about training, about how I’ve been trained to be a certain way all my life. The consensus was that I’ve burst through many of the fears and that I’ve broken a lot of the training in my upbringing…

The Gods Are Laughing at Me!
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. Be careful what you ask for because the Gods have a really wicked sense of humor. The Universe, God, Gods, angels, guides, whatever you choose to call It or Them…though in this case, I think it’s a Them because I swear I can hear…

I’m Mad as Hell and Spiritual, Too
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. Over the past week, I’ve unleashed the inner Wrath Child that Kelley Harrell (Gift of the Dreamtime) told me needed a little nurturing (meaning, let ‘er rip). She’s one of my newer traits, a spiritual child, who won’t put up with crap anymore and…

I Just Wanna Be Satisfied
I’m not ever quite content—and I’m not sure I want to be. Content, to me, is synonymous with done, complete, nothing left to accomplish. I don’t ever want to be done with everything I can accomplish. To me, that’s death, and I’m not done until I die. I want to finish my very last task…

A Visit from the Cat Man
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. “You should meet my son,” he says. I’m meditating, and he surprises me. He’s an interesting man and an enjoyable conversationalist. He’s in his mid-60’s, and if I were a couple of decades older, I might even find him downright fascinating. He’s thin and…

Taking Off the Weight, Unawares
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. I was up way too late last night. Well past 2 a.m. Shopping. In my closet. I found some great skirts, too. The tags were still on where I’d bought them two years ago. Man, I had a blast! About two weeks ago, I…
