Attaining your dream job

How many of you could benefit from job search strategies in this tough economic market? How many of you could use some career advice in changing professions? How many of you have sat down and completed an employment path assessment to find out which occupation is actually best for you, personally? How many of you know that more and more employers are using numerology in order to assess job applicants for a specific position? If you'd like to have answers to these questions, and much more, then I suggest you buy a copy of the book 'I See Your Dream Job' by author, Sue Frederick.

Being in-between jobs myself, the timing of this offering presented me with innumerable suggestions on finding out what I truly want out of a profession. Basically, it illuminated the kind of career that is most amenable to my innermost desires. This is achieved by Sue's expert way of weaving real-life examples with a variety of exercises that include meditation, dreams, numerology and astrology. I learned about my own longings for job satisfaction in ways that I would have normally been too busy to explore.

Sue does a superb job in taking the fear and negativity that can set in when searching for your dream job and instead turning it around and giving it a boost with what she calls EPR (energetic personal resuscitation.) A much needed breath of fresh air, I assure you. I identified with her analysis of 're-invention points' that can occur throughout one's work history from time to time. But I believe Sue's best surprise gift was at the end of the book all tied up in a beautiful bow, the 'Wake-up Workbook.' Essentially, it's 'six steps in remembering what you came here to do,' which in my opinion, is absolutely necessary to help find that perfect job for YOU.

Sue's book honestly gave me the best insights on what type of job would make me happiest and I am eagerly following her guidelines for achieving that dream job we all would love to have. No wonder she is deemed the "Emeril of Enlightenment."

A Remote Viewing First

An exciting remote viewing first will be held in Las Vegas this coming June 19 - 23 with the commencement of Applied Precognition: An ARV Conference-Workshop-Webinar. Remote viewing has been on the forefront and cutting edge of the new energy associated with the change in the consciousness paradigm shift, so it is only natural that this conference is happening during this time frame.

Sponsored by the APP (Applied Precognition Project), this event will host well-known personalities in the RV arena such as Joe McMoneagle, Ed May and special guest speaker, Dean Radin. Each of these pioneers of consciousness are special within their own right, so coming together at this important venue should be extremely dynamic. However, the brilliance doesn’t stop there. Additional offerings presented by Nancy Smith, Chris Georges, Tom Atwater, Jon Knowles, Alexis Poquis and Marty Rosenblatt will help to define analysis, judging, feedback, and applications of the remote viewing process (to name a few.)

Marty Rosenblatt deserves a standing ovation, not only for organizing this conference, but for his numerous efforts on behalf of giving a greater understanding of remote viewing to the public, in general. He regularly conducts precognitive remote viewing webinars, and most recently in March was one of the directors for a unique project involving the coalescence of remote viewing and music entitled 'Music from the Fringe' at the College of Idaho. Within the last few months Marty also collaborated on a project with the great Russell Targ, who was one of the first ever to study the remote viewing phenomenon via the Stanford Research Institute for more than two decades. In my humble opinion, Russell has been the absolute best of the best at explaining the complex concepts behind remote viewing to the common man via his many fascinating videos and well-written books. Currently, he is President Emeritus of the IRVA (International Remote Viewing Association), but more correctly he is the quintessential sage extraordinaire of remote viewing and extra sensory perception.

Lost & Found

OK, it's just a piece of costume jewelry; I  know that. But I couldn't help but get excited 16 years after losing one of my earrings, only to find an exact replacement for it again with the help of today's technology: the internet. My habit of keeping the remaining solitary pieces of jewelry that are too pretty or too sentimental to discard has finally paid off.

Fancifully, I had imagined fastening these lonely pieces onto a velveteen beret one day, and displaying them like medals for their heroic fortitude of still existing without their partners. The pervasive perplexity of not knowing the fate of their lost ones has only intensified the lamentation I've accumulated about them over the years.

So, too, I hoard the impressions of those that have passed away or moved on in life; trying to restore them before their precious memories become fleeting or faded...hoping only to one day get lucky, like this day, and find them again.

The hidden gem of Onalaska

Carol Wells and her unique array of wines

Admittedly, I am not a wine connoisseur. However my palate, albeit untrained, definitely knows what it likes. My tongue was recently delighted at an impromptu decision to go wine tasting on a drizzly afternoon while camping during the recent holiday weekend. Just a short, pleasant drive away from the original Thousand Trails campground near Chehalis, Washington, we found a hidden gem nestled within woodsy surroundings.

Off the main road it’s just a short drive down a lazy, tree-lined lane (complete with beautiful ferns and assorted varieties of moss) before you come upon the little shangri-la of Wells’ Winery. The gorgeous peaceful setting, the friendly owners, and the loyal friends that were in attendance all made for a charming experience alone…but the wine made it a perfect paradise!

Owner Carol Wells explained to me that she doesn’t use a single grape in her wines. Rather, she uses a variety of delicious combinations of fruits and berries without any preservatives, whatsoever. So, the result is a true natural wine. Out of the 6 samplings I indulged in, my favorite was Crazy Cranberry, which she added raisin to for a very unique flavoring. It would be difficult to select my second favorite, as I enjoyed Rippin Raspberry, Awesome Apple and Bouncing Blueberry equally well. These are some of the best Pacific NW wines I have ever tasted. What also impressed me was that Carol supports local fruit growers and her wines are extremely affordable.

For a chance to experience the magic of this Washington winery for yourself, there will be an Annual Summer Sampler on July 6 & 7 from Noon to 8 pm. each day... and since 2013 happens to be the winery's 5th anniversary, it would be a perfect time to celebrate a perfect wine!

Dream away!

"You create the world of the dream, you bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious..." from the movie Inception.

After listening to that remix version of Time by composer Hans Zimmer, I had a dream about a friendly,  furry, green plaid puppy that was jumping up on me.

Here's another really good remix of the same title with stunning visuals:

and if you just want time to literally fly by in the background as the theme plays over and over for 10 hours because you can't get enough of it, here you go:

Any way you slice it, if the water signs of the zodiac are in trine,  or especially if the sign Pisces or the planet Neptune happen to be stimulated in your horoscope chart, expect the unleashing of imaginative dreams filled with wonder.
