Once again...who needs enemies when you have family like mine...

I was just minding my own business, talking to a client on the phone and trying to hear what he was saying when I heard what I thought was someone leaving a message on my cell phone. Everyone in the office could hear it, my phone calling me sexy baby and asking if I wanted to meet up on saturday for a night of fun.
Now, if you know me you will also realize that I don't have anyone who would call me like that and leave that sort of message, I just don't.
So, embarrassed and red faced I put the client on hold and turn off my phone and continue with my day. My da, my boss, walks in and tells me I have to pick up my niece. I let him know what happened, and he promptly tells me that I should figure out who its from and he will call the DA to press charges to whomever it is.
I take my phone with me to try and do this, finding something interesting along the way.
It wasn't a message or  someone calling to say such obsene things, it was my ringtone that someone had recorded on my phone and set up.
So, I pick up my niece and drop her off with her mother, then head back to work.
I tell my da what I found out, telling him to wait till I figure out whats going on.
I have my suspicions but I really do hope I'm wrong.
In the months prior to this incident my niece, the one I picked up, has had issues with doing inappropriate things impulsively without thinking things through.
When I got home that night I listened to the recording again, and it confirmed my suspicions.
My niece had recorded it, it was really obvious.
I was and am still very distressed about this.
I took it very personal that the girl I had watched grow up and babysat for had done this horrible thing to me.
If I had been in any other job, I might have been fired, as it was if a client had heard the message my dad might have lost a client over it or been sued.
If I had been fired I would have been within my rights to charge her, and eleven year old, with at the least slander.
I'm still very pertubed by her behavior.
I had a great meditation and found a spot that I could do my nature awareness requirement and had real good day besides, but this kind of puts a dent in not only my day but my whole week.
I can't help but think it was some kind of attack on me, because of something I did.

Birds

Image
Recently I've taken to a kind of amateur bird watching...Not really going out and looking for particular birds really but just going about my usual activities and keeping an eye out for any avian tag alongs.  One being the common Crow or Raven, I can never remember if there is a distinctions...I've heard that the raven is bigger with a orange beak, with the crow as a smaller bird with a black beak. I've seen many of these birds hanging around my home, and can identify them by sound or sight. Another bird that I only caught a glimpse of was the magpie, I didn't get a chance to take a picture but found one on the internet that matched what I saw. It is really a beautiful bird but beyond what it looks like I really can't say I know very much about it. What really was strange was that while I had never done any research about the bird I KNEW that the bird was indeed a magpie, the name just popped into my head as soon as I saw it. I also found this guy in my backyar...

Day 24

Image
i continued with my chakra meditation today. i used the same imagery as before, imagining my sacral chakra as a spinning pinwheel that i could spin with my breathing. i added the thought that in spinning it i was also cleaning all the dust or old evergy from it, an image of a spinning wheel of fire came to me then, burning away the bad or old built up blockages that have built up over the years. i have many blockages in this area, probably more that in my root.  relating with th asexual has alway been a little bit of a minefield for me, open discussion of this subject was discorage heavily.  both of my parents had their own reasons for blocking this path to knowledge in their own lives but as a consequence it is difficult to find my own way. Your parents are your first teachers, and when they hide knowledge or discourage learning about a part of your own body, you learn to distrust any future teachers.  including yourself. learning to trust your intuition or even yo...

Spider Woman's Web: Traditional Native American Tales About Women's Power

Image
Image via Wikipedia This is a book I picked up from BN a few days ago. I was looking through the cultural studies section, because the native american metaphysical books are there instead of the Metaphysical sections. Go figure. Anyway, I picked this book up and am pleasantly surprised by it. I was expecting a mishmash of cultures and generalities but what I got was a precise study of NA Culture with only a slight feminist slant without screwing up the tales themselves. The translations are solid and enjoyable to read, made for a modern audience but remaining true to the roots they spring from. Its a collection of tales that highlight the power that women held in NA culture and the questions at the end of each section help apply lessons taught in the tale to your own life. ------- Chapter 1:Spider woman saves Ko-chin-ni-na-ko This tale orientates from the keresan pueblos, located in the southwest of the US, and features a w...
