THE PSYCHIC

We have been very exhausted at school preparing for our ACCET accreditation. Sweet, growing-up Kristin....kind, honest Antonella....insightful Deborah in charge of scanning and whatever she notices needs care, our activity leaders dealing with our group of Chinese students, our wonderful intern Pablo, and of course our dedicated teachers. Our binders are beautiful and museum ready for after the big day, and our school looks great.  But just to make sure, as I was walking toward that much needed bloody mary in Seaport Village this afternoon, I passed a psychic who appeared highly credentialed.

For the record, the following are among Dr. Iris' predictions from cards and crystals and other channeled abilities:

*Our accreditation will go great!  Smooth sailing!  Lots of strengths!  No worries!

Therefore, on to the good stuff....

*This move to my new apartment will be the last of many moves and will usher in a well-deserved upswing in my life

*I will be doing a lot of writing  (perhaps someone will discover that this scenic route of a life has some worthiness to download on the new iPAD?)

*Between this January and next January I will be making a trip to Israel

*Between this January and next January I will meet a man named Isaac with blue eyes who has two grown children and a dead wife  (did you see "It's Complicated?"  A dead wife is a good thing!).

*My mom is happy, busy, and looking very young.  She has been helping me a great deal this past year.

*Meri is pregnant with another healthy, beautiful, baby boy  (Let's find out on Thursday...)

*I will become financially stable in the coming year.  (Can I repeat that again?)  I will become financially stable in the coming year.

*I wil lose weight and get healthy and I must convince my doctor that bio-identical hormones ARE the way to go.

*My final 3 cards were the Ace of hearts, the Ace of diamonds and the Five of diamonds.  She DEFINITELY said they were the cards of love, wealth, and health.

Guess what!  I feel better already!

Childhood Innocence and 20010

This past week was a joy to me.  Meri and Jeff drove down from Orleans for the week with Sam, who is now two.  They stayed at the Island Inn, and Sam stayed with me!  He has the same delightful, sweet, loving personality of Meri at that age. 

Watching life through the eyes of a child really permits you to experience the miracles of the world, even the simplest things:  like water squirting out of the fountain (surprise!), or sliding down the sliding board on your tummy (It's fun, Bebe!!), or waiting for the trolley ("here it comes!  It's our turn!), or savoring ice-cream (it's yummy!), or drumming at my djembe class (I can do it, Bebe!).

When I say "I love you Sam" he takes his little hand and pats my cheek and says "I love you too, Bebe."  (Bebe for the two b's in barbra).  When I say "I will miss you Sam,"  he says "It's OK, BeBe, I will miss you too."  A million kisses, Sam!  Don't forget to play your harmonica!

Meri and Jeff are so easy going and patient with him  It's very satisfying to see.

All children should have that joy of experiencing the miracles of childhood and follow their curiosities without fear or worry.

If not for anything else, I pray that 2010 is a peaceful, joyful, healthy and prosperous year for the children in the world.
