Secrets
My office cleared out early—Relay for Life, family problems, emergency dental work, scheduled time off—and I was left as one of only a few in the building and in charge of my office. The big talk at work is about the retirements being offered because there’s not enough money to pay Federal salaries. People have…

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…

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.

Stuck in the Past
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree.

Sometimes the messages are ambiguous at best and insane at worst. They just don’t…

Sometimes Music Says It Best
No matter how eloquent or poetic I sometimes wax, there are still times when only a song can say it for me. Even when I myself cannot manage to sing through the tears in my throat or the laughter in my heart. This is one of those times, so I’ll let someone else’s lyrics speak…

Law of Attraction: The Exact Specs?
I’ve talked to several charming men this week. Honestly, my heart wasn’t in it, but the Law of Attraction is in full effect and I’m doing a double-take over tonight’s discovery. According to the Law of Attraction, we “vibrate” at a certain level and attract to us things/people/events that match that vibration. Life coaches who…

Flat Out: You’re Wrong
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Love in the Third Degree. No. What has happened is not reason to “expect nothing.” Grief and loss on my part do not mean you were “right.” My life is not an argument for your entertainment, nor should it be your hobby. I am still working toward manifesting…

Whose Word Do You Take?
Then the colleague asks if I know a mutual acquaintance in Georgia, though she already knows the answer. She is testing me, based on what she’s been told. She’s a little surprised, she tells me, when I answer so positively. She expected, based on what she’s heard over Thanksgiving, that I’d say something negative. My…
