This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 02, 2009:
Today I want to sow seeds of peace and harmony in the workplace. I want to counteract the discord created by two managers who are causing a polarization of opinions. Just as spite and malice give birth to discord and disharmony, I will experiment with good seed, germinating enough productive, positive feeling to overcome the bad. I will stick to my "practise what I preach" theory, by not preaching at all, it's not my job. My job is to create knock out designs that will have customers begging the cashiers to take their money. What ever, I will not cultivate new ground by joining the sowers of mistrust and unease, and believe that only goodness will result from this days work. In other words, I will mind my own bee's wax.

Oh, this little guy just wanted a scratch and a pat on the head and a chance to check out the camera.
Sandi - He is absolutely adorable!
I think your plan of the day sounds grand. To my way of thinking … you leave such a large wake of joy behind you, they're bound to catch on. If not, they'll simply miss the boat!
Bring a cheesecake and tell some of your best jokes ,tap dance I find it takes the pressure off and for some reason cheesecake well you know……
Wanna hear a good cookie joke?
Wise choice me thinks for it is said, to say nothing to those who made the wrong decision, that you may say the most by your actions.
Take Care don't let the bee's wax get to hot.

And Gabby
JOKE JOKE JOKE….
Sandi - When I am sweet, loving, kind and thoughtful – I fully agree with the advice that “Just Me” gave. However, … when my shadow side rears its ugly head, I say:
Let the bee's wax get damn hot and then give 'em a waxing in the 'bikini area' – one that they'll not soon forget!
Just let your little light shine and don't be concerned about the darkness.
I love his ears
OMG a group/workplace bikini wax what a marvelous way to get to know one another.
Gabby1, dittoing Just Me
Hey there, everybody! Okay, bikini waxes in the staff room. I'm not going to be there, don't burn the place down. Really, the situation resolved it's self, we now have one less manager. It' a loss to be sure, but better than the tension and whispering that was going on before. Sadly, both parties are personal friends, one has been a guest in my house several times and the other I see socially every week or so. Me, I had a lot to keep me busy and that's why I'm there, to produce and generate income. My boss, the owner, will be back from Italy in a few days and we'll all have something else to grumble about. Not really, he's such a sweetie, we fall all over ourselves to keep him smiling. Thanks y'all, for reading, I must have been letting my apprehension get the best of me this A.M.. I'm all better now.
Laurie, I just have to pass this on before I go cut grass, your last remark reminded me of a line in one of my favorite books. The nice lady had just had her first bikini wax and as her daughter led the shaken woman to a chair and got her a glass of water, she asked, ” Mom! You're white as a sheet! What happened?” She replied, “I'm not sure, but I think I saw Jesus, Elvis, and Jimmy Hoffa!”
Hey B.B. dittoing Just Me, too.
Gabby I'm waiting with bated cookie breath for your bicky joke
Never mind. It's too crumby.
Here now! You offered me a good cookie joke and now I'm all ears, and BB got bated breath. Cough it up, Sloth. Don't you dare do anything gross, I mean, tell the joke.
Okay, I'm good with that. My sign is Virgo, makes me a little too literal, I wish I had a cookie.
Gia, you are such a sweetheart, I hope you enjoyed your holiday. thanks so much for your kind words and thoughts.
JM, you, Sir, are right on the money, I can't side with one freind over the other and I'm in no position to judge anyone. Best for me that I do what I'm hired to do, make money for the company and chose principles over personalities.
Dear Mr. Carlton, thanks for your words of wisdom, as always, they are appreciated!
BB, watch yourself around that sloth, he turns up everywhere, I've started looking behind the furniture, AND he's got 3” toe nails. But he is sweet. Some days.
The question is does the sloth cut them,the click click click of long nails weird and reassuring at the same time.
The situation resolved itself Sandi yay! ,I smell relief and when the boss gets back just replace the cheesecake with cannoli
cookie joke I pillaged from net
”An old man is lying on his death bed when suddenly he smells his favorite home-made cookies. He starts to make his way down stairs and sees hundreds of cookies in the kitchen. The man takes one, still warm, from the pan. As he takes a bit life starts to floww back into him, he feels better than he ever has. Suddenly there is a sharp stinging in his hand. He looks up to see his wife. “Don't eat those, they're for the funeral.”She says.
Sandi - I'm glad that the tension has eased at work. Sorry about the way it happened though.
Just got back from a home town softball game. We did SO BAD that they actually used the Slaughter Rule and stopped the game after 5 innings instead of letting us go all 7 and really die.
Some people just bring out the beast in me.
There is an indigenous tribe that whenever someone does something wrong, instead of casting stones, they place the person in the town square and ask members of the community who knows the person to re-mind the guilty party of the good things they noticed about them. Instead of becoming an outcast, the person is brought back to the community in good grace and healing takes place. Harmony restored.
There are some of us so scarred from criticism that defense mechanism are used to protect themselves. It is always a call for love. Gaia deserves no less from us and Sandi is a good example of that.
Oops, I ate one of those delicious,warm cookies.
Is that like drinking the cool aid?
Slaughter Rule!
I better be at my best behavior.
I'm sure glad you guys don't use tar and feathers!
Laurie, how painful! Were you allowed to slink home under the cover of Darkness? Well, at least you have enough left to come back and fight another day, there's still a smidge of Mercy left in sports, although this is the first I've ever heard of it.
Oh yes – we thankfully had the cover of darkness. Then we all drove to the barn and commisterated with each other (I'll post a photo a bit later).

GUYS commiserating in the Tinkler's barn after the game.
GALS commiserating in the Tinkler's barn after the game.
Our friends [Kathy & Peter Tinkler] have a gigantic barn on their property. It is phenomenal for barn dances, celebrations, kids, adults … you name it. Last night when we were commiserating, some friendly bats even flew through to cheer us up!
Gabby1 I love the story of the indigenous tribe. Someday we might be able to do it in a country or in the world. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Well Sloth that was one slow crummy lean mean joke, best one I have heard in some time, and I'd put a lid back on it if I could just stop moaning…
Hey BB, ah yes cookies to die for I had few of those in my day worth a slap everytime.
As for the dark side becareful they may just have cookies of their own, tempting yes, but far far to fatting.
Well off to find more perfection in a day then this blog, ah the things we search for we may never find, but worth bringing along into the next day, who knows maybe answers are just in different places to keep our heads up and looking all around.

Hey, BB, loved the cookie joke, it's going out to all my friends.
Gabby, the indigenous tribe sounds like one we discovers probably killed off, shame how people want to do away with things they don't understand. Of course, they were more than likely to do us in as well.
JM, come over and we'll clean out the Chicken yard and then cut the big field, that sounds like a perfect day to me, and just like Tom Sawyer, I'm willing to let you have a piece of it.
Laurie, checked out your den of sorrow….pretty cushy barn, lots of sorrow drowning going on I see. That's no punishment, being sent to that barn!
I can't begin to tell you how much fun we have in that barn. It's ENORMOUS and really, really old. We dance, dance and dance. One of the barn's owners is part of a singing group called The Frothy Boys. We all bring a dish to pass and we're prepared to stay a really l-o-n-g time. In one of the big 'rooms' - there's a GIGANTIC movie screen. We bring DVD's for the kids to watch and they have a blast too. We have a Suburban (seats 7 in seatbelts) and pick up/drop off – I'm typically the designated driver. That way we know everyone stays safe and sound.
Oooow, the Frothy Boys! Sounds….manly! Thank goodness you do have a “bus” service, I didn't see a lot of misery in those pics! LOL! I'm making chow-chow again tonight but it's the last time for sale. I looked at all the cardboard mason jars cases in my basement and thought that's alot of stuff run through here that I've sold and my own shelves standing nearly naked. The freezer is almost full though, and like Faith just said on the phone, “But you got to keep the money.”
Not really but it afforded me the chance to take the summer off without draining my resources. So I think this will be my last go round, I want one weekend for me before they (job) claims them all. Hey, I am blessed, I have a job, I have options. God is good. what about the wand? Do you use it for healing? Or is it just cosmetic?
Sandi - Your last batch will be the best batch ever. You're right – no one got pie-eyed last night (actually, it's rare that anyone does). Everyone had to work this morning.
The wand is a tool for directing energy. Several years ago a developer was going to destroy an apple orchard to put in homes. I had a dream one night that led me to sneaking into the orchard one evening before the destruction began. I walked through the trees touching them, talking with them, and apologizing on behalf of human beings. After a while, I felt compelled to stand before one of the trees and asked permission to have one of its branches, promising that I would use it well – and only use it for ecological healing. I received permission and ever so carefully removed a branch. I let it season for two full years before I did anything with it. Once I began the process it took about six months to complete – I'd never done anything like it before, or since.
How neat. I mean I can see how energy could be stored and directed, can't explain it. My Father could find water with copper rods and I've never been able to.
Sandi - It sounds like your Dad was using dowsing rods. Very cool! I use a pendulum for the same purpose – it's known as radiesthesia as opposed to dowsing. It's simply two different tools (equally effective) to get to the same end result.
Laurie, yes, that was it. I've known several people who could do that, it's becoming a lost art. People used to find out where to dig their wells by that method in this hilly area. My great grandfather was a healer, he could stop bleeding from a distance away, cure thrush in babies by blowing in their mouths, and “conjure” warts.
Sandi - Your great grandfather sounds like a pretty neat fella. You've also talked with tremendous respect about your grandpa and your dad. You come from a long line of wonderful people – and I can tell in knowing you that the nut doesn't fall very far from the tree!
They were all good-hearted, open minded men, and of course, they had good women for reinforcement!
” … they had good women for reinforcement!” Well now, that simply goes without saying :)
