Okay, first of all, SORRY GORGEOUSES! I did not realize I’d shut off my comments to yesterday’s post! But, how apropos anyway…. The post was very personal, so it kind of made sense to close off comments. I didn’t realize they were closed until I got, like, a bunch of wonderful emails about POOP in my inbox. And, I was all, “why is everyone emailing me instead of commenting?” And, then I figured it out. I WOULD have turned the comments back on at that point, but I was LAZY. Anyway, SORRY about that. I LOVE to hear what you have to say ALL THE TIME — even when I’m a total grump.

Okay, SECOND of all, I HEARD BACK FROM THE SHAMAN! Yes, remember I CONTACTED THE FAMOUS SHAMAN the other day about Minden’s strange-o behaviour-o? Well, REMARKABLY, said FAMOUS SHAMAN replied back! And, here’s what he said (I love him):

Yes your cat is jealous of your new baby boy. What you do, and you might have to do this more than once, is sit and tell him with words and telepathically that you love him and that he has to make room for your new baby. Remind him that is not ok for him to kiss you in the middle of the night, but that you will be there to support him always. You might have to do this a few times, but once he sees that you are committed to both him and the baby, he should relax into his new role.

Blessings,

Steven

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Steven Farmer! I will do EXACTLY what you advised. In fact — HEY GORGEOUSES — let’s do it together right now. Here’s a picture of Minden….

Now, seriously, no joke, sit and tell Minden TELEPATHICALLY (since you’re doing this via the photo, of course) that YOU love him and that HIS MAMMA LOVES HIM. That’s all. I’ll take care of the rest. If we all do it, then Minden will feel HUGELY loved, AND HE’LL STOP KEEPING ME UP ALL NIGHT WITH ARDENT TONGUE KISSES.

I’m waiting, Gorgeouses {arms crossed tapping foot}……! Look into is EYESSSSESES….!!!

You think I’m joking, right? NO! I’m totally into this stuff these days. And, I love how close the shaman tradition is to nature and how in tune shamans are with animal intelligence. Very special.

And, then there’s the THIRD of all. Today (September 10th) is my birthday. I am SO not excited. I’ve become SO introverted in this, my old age (34). I seriously don’t want to do ANYTHING. But, Josh refused to listen to me and INSISTED I choose somewhere to go. SO, I chose this….

It seems I’m getting VERY BIZARRE in my old age, too! I know. But, anyway. It’s a past-life thing. I’m curiously attracted to the medieval times! And, yes, I realize — shamans, past lives — something is SERIOUSLY up with me. S’all good, though. I know. Because I’m psychic. Uh huh!

And, finally, FOURTH of all, I taught my first yoga class of the year today. It was TWICE the size of what I’m used to, but it was great. I’m drained TO THE MAX, but it was great.

Until tomorrow!

Peace, love, butterflies, rainbows, fairy dust, all that….
