Internet Security Issues This Week

email-lostDoing Any Business/Transactions Online

You may have noticed your internet connection is slow today, or you’re having problems sending eMail this week. You’re not the only one. That’s because there’s a bug in a piece of software that is widely used by many companies across the board for internet connectivity. It’s called OpenSSL. And it’s important to understand how THIS AFFECTS YOU and why it’s so serious.

OpenSSL manages security behind the scenes for your secured connections. That’s social media, your own blog, even your email servers probably run on OpenSSL. It probably definitely affects your Bank Account, and potentially any secured transaction you use online. Financial, personal, medical and everything in between.

It will also impact the same transactions and connections you may use from your smart phone. So don’t think you can go from your PC to simply do what you need to do on your phone. You can’t get around this, unfortunately. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Wands – Inverted

 

9 of Wands Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes it’s better to keep your mouth shut about your troubles, than to spread the news around. You could be allowing others to see your weaknesses, and try to take advantage of your situation. Confide only in those who have proven they can be trusted with the secrecy and have your best interests at heart. Don’t let the competition get an upper hand by knowing what buttons to push, or what information to twist that creates the loss of opportunities for you. Be successful by acting as if you already are.


Additional Insight:

Many people like to talk things out when things happen in their lives. It’s not an attempt to gain sympathy or attention. Though some people are drama queens/kings who can’t live without the attention. But for some it’s a therapeutic approach to “getting it out” and releasing the energy of hurt, frustration and anger.

It’s important to be cautious about who you talk to and what you share about your life in these situations. Don’t feel tied down and restricted. Don’t feel captured, imprisoned or limited. Simply be cautious about what you say, who you say it too and protect your future options from the past mistakes and injustice you’ve faced.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: King of Pentacles

King of Pentacles

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

It’s a day to focus on business and self-interests. What have you been putting off that needs your attention? Yes, for purely selfish reasons, you need to get back to the plan and work on manifesting the mid-range goals. Don’t let the little things get in the way, or hold you up from putting energy and effort into what you know NEEDS to be done! You’re letting the circumstances get to you and hold you back. Only you can move things forward. Stop waiting and start doing! It’s your future, you should tend to it.


Additional Insight:

Represent the essence of Finances & Debt, Possessions & Trappings, Business & Self  Interests.

So things haven’t been going exactly the way you want them to. Know whose fault that might be? You’re pulling those negative energies toward you, because you keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Stop it! Geez!

What have you been saying to yourself, or worse out loud? You’re manifesting your fears and frustrations and creating self-fulfilling prophecy. Keep it up and you will lose the battle, the war and everything. There’s been enough of that, don’t you think? Continue reading

Sunday Homily: Can You Go Back In Time

thepast

Don’t Howl For The Past

Be Gracious For Who You’ve Become

I saw a post today that made me stop and think about my life. “If you could go back in time, where would you be today?”

I have a quote I live by:
You cannot change the past. You can only change the way you allow the past to affect your present and your future.” ~ © 1989 Springwolf 🐾 ~

Your past created the person you are today. If you went back in time and changed one small thing, think about the big things that might be affected or lost in your life now. Are you sure you could live with those changes?

The “bad” things in my past, make me a better counselor for rape and abuse victims in crisis today. I’ve been told by some of those clients that had my personal experiences not been part of the conversation, they would not be here today, fighting to overcome and heal. It’s a humbling compliment, to be honest. Having someone tell you that had you not been raped and beaten up to understand what they are experiencing first hand, can really put a spin on your own past experiences. Could you give up making a difference in someone else’s life because they finally found someone who understands how they feel? Continue reading

Being A Workaholic

Working Hard

Working Hard

The Struggles & Solutions To Relax

I struggle with being a workaholic. I get involved in something and become so focused that I lose track of time, and ignore other things that need to get done. Like having lunch or going to bed.

I start working on a task and find myself hours later, sometimes into the very wee hours of the morning still working on it. It’s stressful. It affects your health when you do it day after day. And it’s simply not good for you.

But if I had a problem with a project, I’ve been known to get so focused that I can’t think of anything else until it’s resolved. I’ve had bosses tell me I have to go home and stand there until I pack up and leave. It was much worse than it is now. I talked to a therapist and tried to resolve the issue.

How can you change the negative patterns and turn your day around to be in the moment, enjoy the world around you and relax? The best way is to find a set of tools that offer rewards and incentives. I think I’ve done quite well overall, but it still creeps up from time to time.    I’ve found ways to help me avoid getting back into the old patterns. Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool

The Fool

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be taken for a fool. Someone close by is trying to distract your attentions so you don’t see what’s really going on. Be careful you don’t use your resources and tools like toys. This isn’t a game. It’s great to have fun and be silly once in a while. But there’s an appropriate time and place for play. Trust your instincts and stop the negative self talk that’s repeating what the manipulators are putting in your head. You know when to pay attention to the warning signs and when to let go and relax. Make sure you’re choosing the right time to accomplish both, when it’s best for you.


Additional Insight:

The one trying to manipulate you could be trying to get something past you without your knowledge. Or they maybe unreliable, a person who can’t be counted on, because they’re easily distracted from doing what they should be focused on. 

Don’t let the immaturity of others take you away from what you’ve been trying to build over the past few years or months. You’ve worked too hard to allow one mistake to tear it all down. And that could easily happen if you shirk your responsibilities or abuse the tools you’ve been given to use on this path.

Don’t listen to the guilt trip, the pleas to have fun, or the put downs that you don’t care about your friends or family. You know good and well those statements aren’t true. Someone who cares about you wouldn’t manipulate you in this manner in the first place. They would know how important your mission has been to change things for the better, and wouldn’t try to demean your efforts. So ask, are they really your friend? Continue reading

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Cups

 

Two of Cups

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Gifts show up from the most unlikely places. It maybe a surprise on several fronts, but be gracious. Someone took time to think about you and made a gesture of kindness and caring. You may not want the attachment they are offering with the gift, so be up front and honest without being cruel. Remember what you put out, you will receive in return.


Additional Insight:

Sometimes gifts are given as a manner of respect. They come as a reward for hard work. They come as a sign of devotion from a family member or loved one. They can be an apology from a friend or someone important in your life. They can even come from an admirer.

What ever the reason, don’t make light of the gift and shun the person giving it. They took time to share their emotions and that takes courage in some situations. If it’s a present from someone you’re not interested in, let them know you appreciate their kindness, but make it clear you cannot accept the entanglements that come with the present. And perhaps give them kudos for having the guts to express their kindness toward you. It really did take guts.

Ask if they still want to give it to you and accept it graciously if they do. Or if you feel uneasy about accepting it, make sure you express your gratitude with kindness and respect, but let them know you don’t feel right about accepting their offering and put the blame on yourself. “It would make me feel as though I’m taking advantage of you and I don’t want it to appear that way to you either”.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Tower – Inverted

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Set your rocket on target and light ‘er up! Let go of the darkness that has kept you rooted and weighted down in the negativity of the past. It’s time to take off and rise up above the doom and gloom, to welcome the expanded vista before you. Just let go of the fear and allow the Divine within you to fly. Take in the sights and sounds of adventure and get ready for a wondrous ride! You’re going to thrilled and in awe!


Additional Insight:

Why are you resisting so much? Why are you so afraid of the change you’ve created and have wanted so badly that you’re holding on to the roots that are keeping you from attaining it? You can’t move forward until you let go so your rocket and take off. Trust in yourself and the hard work you’ve done! Allow your rocket to take off and start your journey upward.

If you keep working on activities that belong in the past, you take away time from the things that will take you into the future. Those old things will not provide stability, nor will they give you a security blanket. They’ll simply hold you back and divert your energy, focus and efforts toward someone else’s success or goals. 

If you keep asking “When is it going to be my turn”, you’re never going to get one. You’re the only one who has the answer to that question. So when is it going to be your turn? Who is more important here, you or the demands of others that continually ignore your contributions.

You want to be appreciated so, appreciate yourself and your own skills. You want to be respected, so respect yourself. You want to be looked up to, so look up to yourself. You want to be the one who leads the way and inspires others. So start leading your own way and inspiring yourself! When you begin to hold yourself up in the lime light, others will take notice and you become the star of your own show! But you must believe in yourself and let go of the stage fright first!

You have the knowledge, wisdom and means to move the bar and set the destination to a higher standard. Put it into practice and listen to your own positive self talk. You CAN do this. So get to it.
