Gave myself permission !!
From: Susan Wagner
Date: June 27, 2011 12:21:55 PM
Today .. I give myself PERMISSION to own a Porsche Cayenne !! With a Custom paint color of Aquamarine ! I give myself permission to earn money ...$50,000 a MONTH or more! And permission to work hard for that money while still enjoying my down time!! I give myself permission to SAVE MONEY ...and to walk into the car dealership and pay CASH !! I give myself permission to be wealthy and to be healthy and live in Joy !! I release my old belief system that has strangled the life out of me !! I give myself permission to purchase my Little White Cottage Farm in Capitola or Long Beach or Monterey or where ever God wants to plant me .. I give my permission to have kitties and an old friendly English Bulldog named Sky. I give myself permission to own goats and chickens and Honey Bees. To grow a garden of veggies and wildflowers and sell my goods to better the people around me..I also give myself permission to make ART and sell it around the Globe. I give myself permission to walk on the shore and collect shells and Sea Glass, To gather Driftwood and create Art to sell. Permission to enjoy the sun and to walk with Jesus in the sand. Permission to make wishes come true for the people who God brings to me. Permission to invite family , friends and neighbors , to enjoy BBQ's and Holidays..Camping out on the porch and building Sand Castles. Permission to have a photography darkroom and instruct others who want to learn ! Lord , you are a Great God and a wonderful Father and the giver of Good Things !! You gave me permission to love myself and walk in forgiveness and grace .. Permission to walk in LOVE !! Permission to live on my own without the interruption of a marriage relationship. Permission to live with respect and Mercy !! Thank you My Lord and King ..Praise you for your Glory and Gift of Forgiveness !! Now, I am free to live my life within the Identity of who I am in Christ !! I LOVE YOU LORD JESUS !!

Morning has broken....like the first morning..(at our new home)
So..our first morning at the new place...I opened my eyes to the most beautiful chocolate brown walls I ever seen ..I opened the blinds to reveal the biggest palm tree on the planet..
it is so large that the frons expand both of my windows ..
and our place is above my artwork garage, so its up high enough ,so its like living in a tree house on a tropical island !!
Husband had coffee ready, we went out on the little front porch (landing)..smoked our nasty cigarettes..outside , NO SMOKING IN OUR HOUSE ANYMORE !!!..
anyway...that was pleasant..then I lost my cool when I couldn't find my makeup, perfume or deodorant....
then I calmed down..cause it wasn't the end of the world..and of course then i found it !!
Husband said I'm sorry you had a rough time this morning...
I said NO, I was dumb..I am sorry I was freakin out...
Then I had my first morning to COMMUTE..ughhh..I was only 5 minutes late and found a backway that helps my avoid the traffic jams..
all in all..not to bad !!!
Now.I just want to go home and decorate !!!!!

LiTTLe WhiTe BuTTeRfLieS
LiTTLe WhiTe BuTTeRfLieS
Today I watched white packing peanuts dance in the wind.
They were swirling and twisting round and round like little tornado's
Then I looked further down the way, and they were fluttering in the air and looked like little white butterflies
When the wind would change direction , they would swoosh near my feet and then twist up and around a corner
Just to dance back towards me again
I wondered how they knew to do this , how the wind knew I needed to see something beautiful
How discovering that if I stood still and just went with it, I could find a peace
Instead of moaning and groaning that it was too windy outside or spending my time thinking, why doesn't someone clean up that mess of packing peanuts
But instead today I watched those little white dancers made of trash and thought to myself
It is all about perspective and things I choose to think about
I choose to find peace in strange sort of way, it changed my attitude as I finished the day
Thank you Little White Butterflies ,your beautiful dance was a sweet surprise

Studio oh Studio
I finally feel at home in my little studio..
I have things were I need them to be..
I put things away so they will be there next time..
Its a gr8 feeling..who knew ?
I actually enjoy the fruits of my labor..
Its a new fruit..ORGANIZATION..
It taste's pretty darn good..
I know other folks who like to have things neat and tidy
I never understood how to be that way..or WHY to be that way...
Funny how we can still keep growing after we are "grown up" !!

.........it's one of my main struggles in life...
I had to write something today..and this is what I got !

what kite will you fly
what ballon will you capture
before it can fly

I will give you more things to do
I will even love you enough to share

lets learn how to play
lets twist and twirl
lets learn to unwind
lets make friends with that ball of twine
RiBBoN My RiBboN
heres a bell for your tail
heres a sequin or two
heres a needle and thread
heres a pillow for my head
I can tie you on there
I can put you between pages
as I read a book
I can wrap you around a little black hook
RiBBoN My RiBBoN
there are many more jars
they have buttons and lace and shiny things
but today you are the centre of my little world
you inspire me to create and write down these words
RiBBoN My RiBBoN
I thank you
you might be a simple thing
but just look at what you can do
RiBBoN My RiBboN you became a beautiful bow !
