Just a quick note from my intuition this morning…

Earlier this morning my intuitive self struck a blow for clarity. It came as I was thinking of a gentleman whom I met last night. I first noticed him as I was on my way to a dinner conference at Nello’s ‘Health Food’ Pizza Joint. He was bedding down next to a low wall at the edge of the parking lot. My thought at the time was that someone with ‘official authority’ would probably rouse him up before the night was over and either take him in or order him to move on.

We had a lot of food left over from the buffet, so I filled some takeout boxes and took them out to where I had seen our outdoors visitor. He was still there, and after a little noise from me, woke up and accepted my offer. He asked me to sit down and chat while he was eating, so I did. He described himself as a Sioux from Montana, wandering and looking for work, not all that successfully. Upon my asking, he told me his name was Red Eagle. I left after a few more minutes to get back to help with packing up the conference stuff.

Red Eagle. Hmm. Here is when my intuition finally hit me with a ‘don’t-ignore-me-this-time’ whack upside the head. Many years ago I had the experience of finding my animal spirit guide during a Native American shamanic drumming ceremony. My spirit guide turned out to be an eagle. Since that time I have had many more experiences involving eagles. I won an Eagle Award. I took a men’s leadership course that earned me an eagle-head ring, which I wear proudly to this day. I have an eagle photo clipped to the dashboard cover in my truck so I can have it in front of me everywhere I go.

I have had only a few conversations with my animal spirit guide, conversations that I sought during meditation. Last night, I believe, he came to me as Red Eagle. The actions that led me to him were a first. I had never taken food to someone in that situation before, or even approached anyone under those circumstances. Could he, Red Eagle, my animal spirit guide, have summoned me?

Red Eagle and I, we are connected. Carl Jung called the connection among people the ‘Collective Unconscious’. Such a connection goes by many names. I would say that my intuition is screaming at me that my connection with Red Eagle is much closer. Even if I had a scientific explanation for this, it would be unimportant. I believe that I met my animal spirit guide last night. The purpose of this meeting, if I see it correctly, might be just to invite me to talk with him more often. I look forward to it, if anything just to enjoy the beautiful forest outside the workshop of my mind. Of course, I’d bet that he will have some interesting things to say, too. And, boy, do I have some questions for him!

This is hilarious, so I had to post it here for the world to know. As I spend the greater part of my day working at home, which is a blast, I can often go an extra day or 2 or 3 (or more) without getting cleaned up to meet others. The funny thing is that yesterday Eve gave me a new name based on my ‘work at home look’ – i.e., Scruffy. Well, I thought was funny, anyway.

So this morning I am up early (ca. 4:00 AM), excited as usual to see what I can accomplish and how much fun I can have. Doing a lot of cool stuff. However, I just had to take this picture to show the world one of the benefits of self-employment, so to speak.

More later. Now it is time to check my revenue streams from last night. Now THAT is fun!

I just had to put this out to the world somewhere, and this seemed like the best venue. Today I received an envelope from Amazon Digital Services Inc., which contained a check for $25.68, made out to me. This was a pleasant surprise.

To be honest, the Amazon commission rate for associates is a paltry and unexciting 4%. For this reason I haven’t really pursued any marketing through Amazon. Oh, I put up an Amazon store on my golf blog, I published one of my ebooks in Kindle format, and I mentioned some supplements here and there with links through my account. So I never really expected anything all.

The surprise is that I don’t see where the final $17.12 of this check came from. The Amazon associates pages are as obtuse to use as anything I have ever seen on the web. So I will just be grateful for my good fortune, however seemingly small it is at the moment.

Whew! Glad I could share that success with you!

Cheers,
Dennis

How can you increase your fitness (muscle strength) by 20 percent within four weeks, with only one workout per week? Here’s how I did it.

This is really cool beans. I ran across a video recently, which led me to a book about fitness. Little did I know what good scientific research on fitness could say. Now I do. I’ve started a string of posts on this topic at my new fitness blog here. This is a post about my results after only 4 weeks:

PersonalFitnessResearch.com

That is a preliminary report on early results. Eight weeks to go, so I will put up more results as I get closer to completion.

Cheers,
Dennis

Professional blogging can be rewarding in lots of way. It is fun. It brings in income. It keeps me fresh in my writing. After spending more than a year learning the technical intricacies of blogging, I’ve set my target on 10 topics. I’ve listed links to each of these blogs here:

I suppose that I’ll pay more attention to this personal blog when I get the others up and running to acceptable speed. I am about halfway there as of today.
