Weekend Reads

Increasingly I have found that I LIVE for the weekends. I love my two days of relaxation and no responsibility. The English major within resurfaces on Saturdays and Sundays when I actually have time to escape into a book. So in the spirit of literature and letters, here are some of our favorite books we're currently reading:

Jen: I cannot read one book at a time, I like to alternate between a couple. My self improvement selection is The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety. My tricky little brain likes to run away to hypothetical land so these books help me keep perspective. I'm also reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which is hilarious! It's basically the Pride and Prejudice we all know and love, improved by a zombie plot (the zombies are known tastefully as the "unmentionables"). Lastly, I'm reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I heard about this book in Time Magazine and was sold when the main character was described as a "ghetto nerd." This book won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction - totally deserved...but not for the faint of heart. I also want to start reading the True Blood books because season two is starting up! I need my vampire fix until the next Twilight!

Julia: I love books by Phillipa Gregory. I've read her series (I especially loved The Other Boleyn Girl!!!).Her books just suck me in and I can't put them down. This weekend I'm going to start reading her earlier work, the Wildeacre Trilogy.

Kim: I'm into biographies right now. Loved the Patti Boyd biography, I'm just starting Barbara Walters and also want to read the new Sydney Poitier biography. There was an excerpt in Vanity Fair in which Barbara Walters talked about the blatant sexism that she had to overcome to achieve success - and she didn't even know it! Fascinating stuff that shows maybe we haven't come as far as we think.

My path has its own timeline

I was reading an article on CP and came across a quote that really spoke to me, "My path has its own timeline."

I have received different readings from many psychics on the line and though they each have great things to say, the differences in timelines sometimes make me question my resolve. When I read this quote, I realized I was too anxious and focused on outcomes beyond my reach. 

When I read over it repeatedly, I began to relax and give in to the natural order of things. It can be challenging for me to let go sometimes, but I found this wonderful quote to help me grasp that there's a reason why I can't have what I want when I want it. I absolutely know that the Universe is looking out for me and with a little patience and faith, all good things must come in their own time.

As a daily reminder, I created a series of inspiring images holding this quote as transitioning screensavers at work!

Finding Peace Through Detachment

By Psychic Phillip

Though somewhat trite, there is a very deep wisdom in developing a sense of detachment. Atisha (an 11th century Tibetan master) once wrote that "The greatest generosity is detachment."I know that most of the readers on California Psychics understand this concept since our effectiveness is directly impacted by our emotional attachment to what we are "getting" from the caller. When I first began reading here, there were calls that affected me so deeply, I would hang up the phone and just sob. (My Venus is in Pisces, lol!) Then my phone would ring again, and I would have to turn it off, just like a light switch. Now, the only thing that really moves me into this state is the light that some of my callers carry and the tears are out of gratitude for even having the opportunity to witness their grace.

When we let go, and permit the universe to work its magic, we have the opportunity to get out of our own way. It is the difference between power and force, acceptance vs. denial. It is not about giving up as much as it is about being still. Empty. I often tell my callers, "I view my mind like a bad dog, and my foot is on its neck all the time. If you wish to starve the wolf, do not feed it. Have you ever heard the line, 'train your Dalmatian, or your Dalmatian will train you?'"

Peace and happiness: "When I have this person, or when I lose this weight, or when I get this or that, THEN I will be happy." I usually tell the caller, "No, you have it backward. Be happy now.  Right where you are. Everything is perfect right now. So, knowing that, what do you wish to create with the rest of your life?" You are free. Own that power. Own that responsibility. I am not saying that you haven't painted yourself into a really small corner and movement may be difficult now. There are always consequences for our decisions and the universe has no problem upping the ante until we get the message.

Our attachments are generally the cause of suffering. Need nothing, but want everything.  Embrace your prosperity, not as a goal, but as your birthright. Then stand back and allow your holographic image to release those waves of creation. They grow wings and take flight. Worry, over-thinking and fear pulls them back. Sooner or later, we all have to deal with the "faith" issue.  Be there NOW. It is a choice.
