The Great Work #4

The Great Work
What connects you to each an every moment in your life?

Good morning everyone, I am even more trilled this morning because I just woke up in my family's new apartment. This is particularly exciting because its the first time we have lived on our own entirely. Living in California we had to always live with other family members, usually up to 6 adults and 3 kids in one house. This is a huge milestone for us and we cant be any more happy to now call Oklahoma City our new home!



I am a visual learner and thinker, so powerful imagery helps me connect with the world around me. When some one says there were 3 birds, I don't simply think, oh ok 3, my mind draws a full image of these birds and even sees them in motion. Connecting to moments in my life is a similar process, I take in every detail and draw a photo in my head, almost as if the memory is being filed away. It often helps me to connect to the moments by watching myself in them, similar to astroprojection. Its a way to aid myself in enjoying the entire moment, living entirely in it, without any other cares in the world. I have even begun putting together photo albums, something my mother use to do for us as children, I don't want to loose this tradition with my own.

Aquatic Animal Totems, Dolphin totem/guide/power animal

Image
Do you have an aquatic animal totem/guide? How does the ocean or water make you feel? There has always been a part of me that is drawn to the water. It is something I cannot entirely explain. Since I was a young girl my dreams were filled with moments of tranquility drifting into the darkness of the depths of the ocean. The water surrounding my body and carrying me through the waves. The unknown...the spark of life and the renewal that water offers us is so beautiful. Life came from the ocean and it embodies the very aspects of renewal and rebirth. There has been two distinctive aquatic totems in my life the dolphin and the duck/goose. Did you miss my entry on ducks? check it out here: http://candaleriaconfesses.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-great-work-3.html What is an aquatic animal totem/guide?

Heres How Gabriel Was Potty Trained In 3 Days! As most of you know already we just recently moved to Oklahoma City from California, during all that chaos potty training Gabriel had to take a pause. Both me and my husband were working and between packing, planning, and having to drive the almost 1,800 miles, I knew it wasn't going to be possible. So I planned to begin his potty training when we finally moved into our apartment! I bought  just the right amount of diapers to last exactly to my plan. I researched other moms tactics and stories and found one blog that was super inspiring...  http://themonarchmommy.com/2015/10/29/skip-the-trainers-potty-training-in-three-days/  After all my research the day came the morning of 4th of July!

El Ojo De Dios

Image
History of "el ojo de dios" Originating in the Americas these "God's eyes" as protection charms and a talisman of, the better known , third eye. A powerful symbol of understanding unseen things. Huichol indians created these woven pieces of art to put on their alters. A traditional "God's eye" has 4 points representing the 4 elements, earth, fire, and water. To weave a "God's eye" one is putting their own energy and prayers to create a physical object to forever be a representation these intentions. They are often used to protect children. They can be given as gifts either at birth, a baptism, or birthday. I found a great link to the history of "el ojo de dios" and a how to on okhistory.org, what a coincidence :) http://www.okhistory.org/kids/printables/godseye.pdf Heres my mobile!
