the magic box

feeling a little better today:
an actual positive hopeful post to balance out last night's...
i have a special box that i put some special little objects in and then write down goals, wishes, hopes and fold the paper and date it and put it in the box. it's called a goddess box.
i also put in goals and hopes of a few friends. they write what they want to manifest and i stick it in the box without reading it. every couple of months or so, i open up my papers and check to see if i have accomplished or gotten what i wished for. most of the time the goals get put back in, not yet accomplished, but once in a while they actually get done or happen and i throw out the paper and write new ones...
i just opened the box after over six months and saw some that had wonderfully come true, like getting pregnant and a few other things.
some of them i put back, like the ones related to elvis being healthy, to continue his good health.
so tonight i wrote a bunch more of them and dated them and put them in the box. i was amazed also to see i had so many "wishes" written by about four different friends, so those went back in too.
most of the goals and wishes are selfish ones like to have a good birthday with peace of mind, improved relationships with certain people, and certain career goals. but then there are ones for denzel and elvis and the baby i added, as i had not checked the box in over a year.
and some very ambitious ones for the world, like peace in iraq and things like that...
so the box is filled up again with hopes, dreams and good things to ask for the universe to manifest.
if anyone wants me to put something in there for them, let me know and i'll write it in for you...
i believe the things i put in for myself are strengthened by sharing the magic of the box with others...
i forgot to put one in about taxes and finding a good accountant. my finances are a mess... woops i'm ending on a bad note.
patience... that's in the box too as is "faith"...

Hi Marlena!
I am blogging again (the cancer is kicked!).

So...I am catching up on blogs...I am really heavy-hearted that you are having a hard time right now. I can just hear it in your writing and I have not had a chance to catch up on everything that has transpired in your life over the past few months, but I wanted to let you know that I am really thinking of you today (and will be catching up on your blog posts).

**by the way--i LOVE the magic box that you use! i think i may have to start that up too...it is a wonderful, wonderful concept!

big hugs,
dancer

Hi Marlena, I haven't said much lately but I have been checking in on you, baby, denzel, & elvis.
As for your having psychotic episode's that's part of life, your life and if family and friends can't get past that then you shouldn't waste your time worryin about them and their opinions.
You are doin a great job, don't let anyone else tell you any different. We all march to the beat of our own drum...and those who can't accept that there are different drums...then I say fuck 'em!

What a fantastic idea. I wore a prayer box for awhile until it broke; unfortunately though it could only have a maximum of about three prayers.

Wishing you well.
