6:22 AM the alarm goes off. I have a client via www.Skype.com at 7. The only sounds are of the howling wind shaking the many windows of the villa. Eeeeyikes… gotta get up — it’s coooold!
Before I get up, I close my eyes again and connect with my angels. “Help me with my appointment this morning… Archangel Michael, what do I need to know about my client today to help him manifest the perfect job and anything else he wants to discuss today?” Archangel Michael begins giving me messages that I can tell my client…. ok, I’m “connected” and I have something to begin our session with. Time to get up.
Go to the bathroom, warm water on my face, brush my teeth, running my fingers through my night ravaged hair hahaha… what a sight, thank goddess this is a skype (phone) session! Put on several layers of clothing — still cold. Grab my small blanket and leave the bedroom. Walk into the upstairs living room/family chill-out room/office… turn on the computer. Shuffle downstairs, oh gosh, I hope the mouse isn’t in the house! A quick scan around and no mouse in sight. Flip on the kitchen light, pour mineral water into the electric water pot… 2 small scoops of Egyptian tea, a splash of milk, add hot water, stir… and we’re ready to roll. Back upstairs to the computer…
Decide to do a quick tarot spread to gather more insight for my client — shuffle, shuffle, shuffle — shuffle, shuffle, shuffle — “… please give me more details to help my client forward…” shuffle, shuffle, shuffle… cut the deck, and lay the cards out into the 10 card Celtic spread. Hmmmmm… well, this is looking pretty good! Filled with lots of celebrating, happiness and especially family love and harmony… oh, good!! Just a few small areas to be adjusted like looking at things with a new perspective and taking off self-imposed chains… ok, not to big of a deal 😉 … overall, great reading — I’m so happy to see this!
Sit down, click on the Skype link, enter the phone number… Egypt 7 AM calling California 9 PM… press *Call* *bup bup bup bup bup BUUP* (that would be the sound of Skype’s calling song – lol)… sheesh, it’s dang cold! Throw the blanket around me and… “… hello?” “hi….” and the session begins. blah, blah, blah, and oh yeah, that makes so much sense, and more blah, blah, blah… and ok, thanks for that, and blah, blah, blah… wow, that is SO true… and 30 minutes later he has clarity and knows what he needs to do… another satisfied client. 🙂
Open Facebook… well, I let a cat out of the bag yesterday and announced, “in a relationship.” Well, I figured it was time to let people in on that one. Let me just say, it is a relationship I would have never imagined would manifest. But, now looking back, I can see how he was years in the making when I would write out my manifestations lists — I just thought that with my intentions I would be manifesting a better relationship with the one I was with at the time… but, the power of my true heart’s desires and my trips connecting to my soul in Egypt would tell a different story. One that I was completely unaware of!
The short story on that one is: Every time I would visit Egypt my soul would ignite and my essence was a glowing illumination of love. I always knew there was a deep connection to Egypt with me, but didn’t know the depths (still know there is a lot more to come)… when I lead my spiritual journeys in Egypt we travel all over Egypt. Whenever we would be in Aswan, my heart would swell with love even more. Each time I would be on a felucca in the Nile River I would say: I love Aswan, it is so beautiful here. Isis Temple is my favorite temple! I love the Nubian people and the Nile River is so gorgeous here… and 2 years ago, I took my first taste of the Nile River while caught up in one of these moments sailing the Nile.
Years later I met him on Facebook… and guess what, he was lives in Aswan in a village on the banks of the Nile River, he is Nubian and owns a felucca… destiny – that’s all I’ll say! Pretty dang amazing if you ask me. Well, my Facebook friends, thanks for celebrating my next life phase with me. I hope that many of you will be guided to join “us” on our future Egypt Journeys, because now, with my beloved Egyptian angel, who just happens to be Nubian (the indigenous Ancient Egyptian people) and born and raised living in the true land of the ancient pharoahs, it has unlocked new and deeper dimensions to my ‘work‘ in spiritual and transformational journeys… we just took it to a whole new level, folks!
*Tap, tap, tap, TAP, TAP, tap, tap, tap…* why does this bird keep coming to the villa and tapping it’s beak on the window? For the last 3 days this bird sits outside the window and *taps* … patiently, *tap, tap, tap…* yesterday every time we would be in another room, we’d look out the window and other birds would be in the windows In the kitchen we have to windows on different walls and birds in both. So strange about the *tapping* bird… he was out there this morning early when I got up and still here with me hours later… now he is tapping and chirping! lol… what is up?!
Well, the sun is up now… my regular routine… open the curtains — “Hello, Sahara and Nile River! So nice to see you!” How blessed am I! I am loving my life! I mean, seriously, how amazing can my life get? And, I know this is only the beginning of a great unfolding of wonder and dimension traveling… wow!
And, finally, the mouse! Late the other night I was sitting here at my desk working away and out of the corner of my eye I thought I kept seeing something white flashing by, but thought I was just being distracted or something by a spirit or imagining something that wasn’t there. I didn’t put too much attention to it as I was busy and tired. Finally, as I finished up my work I was turning off the computer and look and I see a mouse tail whipping by heading down the stairs……… EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OMGODDESS… not another mouse!!!
Stepping back just a bit on mouse history. Last September I was in Egypt for about 7 weeks. One week I rented an apartment in Aswan and the night I was getting ready to leave to head to Cairo to lead a spiritual journey I see this mouse come running into the bedroom… AAAHHHH!! I scream!! My dear comes running in, “What?!” looking all wide-eyed and worried. “EWWW a MOUSE!!” *shakes his head* and says, “Why do you have to scream! It’s just a mouse!” I said, “EWWWW *creepy chills* .. it’s under the bed… don’t stand there!”
I finish packing and go in the living room, sit down, put my earbuds in my ears and start listening to my iPod… all into my music, ooooh yeah… and “AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!” *jumping out of my skin, feet up off the floor* … Ashraf running in… “What?!!” hahahaha (although I’m laughing now, it wasn’t funny then)… THE MOUSE WAS RUNNING RIGHT TO MEEEEE!!! AND NOW HE IS UNDERNEATH THE REFRIGERATOR!!!!!” … My dear says, “… oh my God! Stop screaming like that, PLEASE! All the people are going to come here to see what is wrong!!” Puzzled, I say, “What?” “Yes, the people will all come here – mannny people! If they hear you scream once, they will listen, if they hear you again, they will wonder what is wrong, AND IF they hear you scream a third time, they will all come here running to see what is wrong… PLEASE DO NOT SCREAM!” Me, “… let me tell you something… if I see a mouse… and ANYTIME I see a mouse… and EVERY TIME I see a mouse, I GUARANTEE I WILL SCREAM!!! It is GROOOOSSSS… omgosh… thank goodness I didn’t see this mouse earlier in the week, I would have never slept!!” ….. ok, end of that story… and on to the next…
Upon my arrival to Aswan in December (last month), my dear found a fairly new, huge, beautiful flat to stay in while I looked to find somewhere else to live. Well, there was a family of mice living there and they made it their business to live as they pleased and do what they wanted. It was so disgusting… every night it was like a mouse circus. I mean, this wasn’t any mouse circus, this was a mouse Circus Soliel! They would come out and run around the living room and dining room while we were all in there, on the computer, watching TV or whatever. They would run around, go under the couch and chairs — peep through the cushions, run up and down the curtains —aggghhhh it was the grossest thing!! I was PAYING to live here?
My dear wants to catch the mice and set them free… I want them gone no matter what the method!
4 Mice:
1 – he catches in the trash and takes the bag outside to the street trash bin and watches the mouse run to his freedom. Success!
2 – he opens the door and another mouse decides to take a hike. Good!
Mice 3 and 4 – well, they continued with their circus antics until we moved… I was so happy to get out of there… and swore… there will be no mice in the villa!!
No Mice Allowed in this Villa!
So back to other night… again… “AAAHHHHHH!” “What?!” (… you know the drill) “A MOUSE… EWWWW… it has a long tale! I’m SURE it’s a RAT!!” hahaha…
Long story short… this mouse is unbelievable! It really has not point or purpose to be in the villa, because there is absolutely no food left out and is clean as a whistle… and has no where it can hide. We go in the kitchen and he looks at us – say what? We get out of the way, and he flees as fast as he can out of the kitchen, around the corner and to the front door. Waits for my dear to open the door and scurries to his freedom. Ok, that was pretty cool, but the thing is… he ran faaarrrrr away… but, he keeps coming back!! He can get in under the front door, and we have been through this same drill with him several times now… so now we put wood under the door to block it so he can’t get in, but he is still trying to come back! Ashraf opened the door for a delivery person and whooop! The mice runs back in! Same dang drill… he runs in and runs out… I’ve never heard of a mouse being so persistent about NOTHING! What is the deal with that? We are waiting for one of the guy’s that is doing construction on a building near us to come do something to fill the gap of the door. But, honestly, I am still quite puzzled by this mouse!
*tap, tap, tap, chirp, tap, chirp, tap, tap* … that bird is persistent too!
The mouse and the bird have something in common: They both want to come in and are very persistent!
I’m sure these are more *signs from the Universe* … ok, Universe – please share!
The wind is still roaring, windows shaking, … and my fingers feel frost-bitten at this point. You’d think with all the typing I’m doing they’d be warm by now. I am thinking I dread going out to hang my washed clothes on the line upstairs outside with this wind whipping around. hhhmmmmm…. I guess it is time for another cup of hot tea… and some quiet contemplation and connection with the Sahara… *tap, chirp, chirp, tap, tap…* well, almost quiet 😉
*Tap Tap Tap*er the bird!
