<p>I have always been torn between working in Metaphysics or choosing the Corporate World. Part of me believes I need a 40 hour a week office job, with a regular paycheck, benefits and vacations. The other part (my soul urge part) believes that I can follow the Metaphysical path (through teaching and doing readings) and will receive the clients, business, connections I need. In the past, I have always opted for the corporate (even though I felt unfulfilled and depressed). Granted, I was grateful for a regular job, however, a part of me felt I was selling out because I didn’t feel the Universe would supply. Last week I made a choice. Offered an opportunity for a ‘regular’ job, I decided to throw caution to the winds, and act on faith. I decided to be courageous. I choses the Metaphysical. Courage is when you feel the fear and do it anyway. If you jump, the net will be there.</p>
<p>I wrote this post in May of 2012. Shortly after writing this post, I started a a Metaphysical Meetups group. I invited different experts in  of Metaphysics to come and share their expertise.

On writing a tribute to my sister, Meredith, (after her passing last February), I found a wonderful saying:by Stephen Williams:

They said, &#8220;We are afraid.&#8221;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Message of Inspiration From The Other Side</p>
<p>On writing a tribute to my sister, Meredith, (after her passing last February), I found a wonderful saying:by Stephen Williams:<br />
&ldquo;Come to the edge,&rdquo; he said.<br />
They said, &ldquo;We are afraid.&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;Come to the edge,&rdquo; he said.<br />
They came.<br />
He pushed them&#8230;<br />
They Flew</p>
<p>I am now in the process of finishing a book she started while she was still living. While writing this, and transferring her documents, I found a wonderful saying by Guillaume Apollinaire:<br />
&ldquo;Come to the edge,&rdquo; he said.<br />
They said, &ldquo;We are afraid.&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;Come to the edge,&rdquo; he said.<br />
They came.<br />
He pushed them&#8230;<br />
They Flew<br />
It was the exact same quote, different authors, but otherwise identical.<br />
To me, this quote speaks of both courage, and the knowledge that if you jump the net will be there. This reminder yesterday arrived at a much needed time. Thank you Meredith. Message received Loud and Clear.<br />
I love you&#8230;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When my sister  and 22 year old cat died, I decided to spend a week commemorating them  by lighting a memorial candle.  to Thus a memorial candle is lit and remains burning publicly 24 hours per day throughout the entire week. The candle serves to  remind one that their loved one&#8217;s soul is eternal. Because the only candle  I had in the house at the tim was a white cylinder shaped one , I decided to light it. I thought that it would last until someone brought be another one. It remained lit for 24 hours. I then decided to see whether it might remain lighted longer. So here it is, Saturday morning, and the candle burns brightly. Rest in peace, Meredith and Jasmine Lily. May your lights shine brightly through Eternity.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My Beautiful Sister, Meredith lost her battle with cancer today at 1:35 this morning. She was a funny, creative strong person. She loved animals more that My dear sister. I was blessed to have her as a sister and friend. Please send thoughts and prayers of light and wishes for a peaceful transition. She leaves behind Mark, her  husband of 25+ years, 4 beloved dogs (Trapper, Warlock, Lillie and Baby Taz) and a great cat, Caruso (who she and her husband adopted from their toolshed). I will miss her terribly, but send her love and light as she continues on her journey.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sitting at my computer as sad as I can remember ever being. My 22 1/2 year old cat, Jasmine Lily (aka &#8216;Catsup Bottle&#8217;) lies under my computer desk sleeping heavily. The vet will be here in about 30 minutes to euthanize her. For over 21 years, this  been a constant source of joy, exasperation, worry and enjoyment. She has been my friend and confidant during the entire period. She has seen me through job change,  suicide of a relative, terminal cancer of another relative and so much more. I have been there for her during melanoma in the eyes, renal failure, disappearing for a week, jumping on the stove and catching on fire and so much more. She and I have been each other&#8217;s best friend. About a month ago  noticed that she was having little twitches (almost like mini seizures) which seemed to come and go. About a week ago she started having tooth trouble and was unable to eat or drink anything.<br />
 Now we are at a point where she cannot eat without pain, she hides under a computer desk, where she sleeps a lot.<br />
I was told that there was no guarantee that anything else could be done. Oh we could try different antibiotics, but it might not work. Why would I want to put my dearest friend and confidant through any more trauma? So when the vet mentioned that perhaps euthanasia might be near, I knew respect for Jasmine, dictated that twas the best solution. , I knew it was important to spend some alone time with my pal. I sat on the floor next to the computer table she was lying under. I gently stroked her matted fur, listening to soft classical music and thanking her for all she&#8217;d meant to me. The Dr. arrived about 20 minutes later. We talked,and he told me what to expect. I asked if it would be ok to hold her while he administered the medication. One shot would relax and make her feel wonderful, then the other would put her to sleep He said it would be up to her whether she wanted me to. She did. Picking her up and taking her to the couch, I sat there gently stroking her, cradling her. About 10 minutes later it was over. I now had different options about what I wanted to do with the ashes. But Jasmine is headed to a farm in the mountains where she will mix in with the soil and have a wonderful country life. As for me, I will rejoice, knowing I was instrumental in allowing her new adventure, but at the same  I will miss her terribly. Farewell dear Jasmine Lily (also known as &#8216;Catsup Bottle&#8217;. You will be missed. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said, &#8220;A battle is raging inside me &#8211; it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.&#8221;</p>
<p>The old man looked at the children with a firm stare. &#8220;This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, &#8220;Which wolf will win?&#8221;</p>
<p>The old Cherokee replied: &#8220;The one you feed.&#8221;</p>
