Zeus' Palatial Blog

It’s been over 10 days! Where have I been??!
Well, to be honest I’ve been quite busy and haven’t been hit by the “writing mood” lately.

Hera has gone on a new schedule for work (which they seem to do to her every three months just to see if I’m paying attention) which leaves me constantly adjusting my schedule to be sure I can be home to watch the boys - or have someone with them while I am … called away. It’s also been interesting because the boys have chicken pox (we’re in the winding down stages now), so I’ve had to be careful with outside contact for them and the many people who seem to have never had the potentially life-threatening illness (didn’t realize that the chicken pox could be deadly? Usually only to us old folks but it happens.). Thankfully both the boys only have a mild outbreak on their arms alone (what “luck” can do), so it hasn’t hampered their energies at all. We’ve had to call off taking them out in public and most of their friends have stayed away, so I’ve had the extra fun of coming up with weeks worth of entertainment. What’d I come up with? To start out they helped me put in a new floor in the playroom - now it’s all sponge soft and you could drop from the ceiling without hurting yourself (good for the budding psychokinetic). With the playroom fully finished all their toys and games came back out of storage so they have 500sqft of fun! It’s been hot outside and they’ve really wanted to go to the splash park and since we can’t go I built them one in the backyard. Okay, so I’m a little on the crazy side with things for the boys but if I can have fun too then it’s totally worth the effort. I’ve been overworking getting the deck supported to hold a hot tub and building a new patio (oh yes and I really must get to building the new fence) so I figured a distraction that could cool me down too would be a brilliant change of pace. With a few pumps, lots of hose and some ingenuity we created a water recirculating, solar powered (must be environmentally friendly .. plus water and hydro are expensive) splash pad. Slipping slopes, sliding streams, moving showers, dumping buckets, slides, pools and inflatable castles with drawbridges. Now I get to work on my projects for awhile and then I can go play too. Why not? As long as you have the energy available you can be as young as you want to be .. right?

Though it seems like my days have been filled with construction and playtime I’ve also been working on my psi (not that I don’t always work on my psi since it’s a way of life but I’ve had dedicated time away too). I’ve been actively working with others to harness new ways of doing old techniques. It’s always interesting to compare notes on what works for everyone and how they go about it. There may just be a faster and more efficient manner to carry out an activity. I’ve also been out in the grove during gatherings and visiting local energetic hot spots. The nice farmers that own the land we go traipsing through I’m quite sure think us odd enough (I gain their permission before setting foot on private land - it’s the right thing to do), but since we don’t destroy anything and they end up with “bumper crops” we have a wonderful agreement. I even get some calls after storms damage their crops as to whether we might be “visiting their fields in the near future”. It’s not that we do a lot to the fields, but if there is energy available the plants will respond - it’s common practice really. Of course it helps that many of us have other outdoor interests such as herbology, botany, bird-watching, etc. so we can be a “naturalists club” to the farmers without having them worry about our “other” activities. It’s all in the marketing They all know the truth of course since I’m open about it, but if they feel better thinking about us as a naturalist club then so be it.

Talk about it, tailor the marketing, and more people than you think will accept it.

After a week away I have returned to the mountain (and yes I brought my family back with me). The boys had great amounts of fun and took to the lake like fish yet again this year. We added a kayak to our repertoire of stuff at the cottage and actually got some nice use out of it in the many rivers.

While away there was quite a shift in energies from the 15-17, but it wasn’t unexpected. Any of you that have been around the chat channel probably saw me mention the intense shifting that was to occur. Shielding is such a good thing. I was able to get some good practice time in while in the wilderness though “work” kept me occupied I made sure not to burn out (all about balance).

Now that we’re back on the mountain Hera is back to work, as am I, and things are slowly returning to the normal grind that is our lives. I will be back in the chat again so be sure to stop in and say hi!

Hera has begun making lists of things we need to remember when making the trek to the cottage for the week. Of course the cottage isn’t really the “rough it in the woods” type of cottage that you may have in mind for a Canadian mid-summer getaway. To be quite honest it’s more of a chalet that can comfortably sleep 20 people. All the modern amenities are included of course, since it’s about the only way I could convince Hera to go “camping”. We have a nice week away with the six adults (Hera and I, my sister and brother-in-law, and cousin and his wife) and our five boys. Most of our time will hopefully be spent in the lake and just lazing around though I’m sure we’ll hit up some amusement by walking through the tops of the trees on little tiny ropes that really shouldn’t have more than a couple pounds on them.
Craziness for sure when you get us all together, but good memories for the kids too.

I’ve been watching the global energy shifts and the local ones too and have been quite busy in keeping up with mapping and surveying. Those of you that have been paying attention I’m sure are wondering what in the world is going on. So much resetting and balancing of general areas and the equilibrium of energetic states is simply stressing out areas and they’re having to shift to compensate. It’s been driving people to be a little on the crazy side - even when they don’t realize what’s going on. Shield if you have them, because wow …

I love lightning (go figure with the nickname) but seriously to sit and watch a lightning storm is so much fun. Not just because they’re tres cool, but also because of the energy that can be felt during them. Obvious safety precautions should always be taken when in the middle of a lightning storm to ensure safety. After a storm it usually leads to my becoming child-like in having fun creating sparks of light, which in turn leads to some good practice time. Everything boils down to psi in my life … see how it is.

Hera is on a week of afternoons - another change in schedule thanks to her job shift last month. This really means that I get more nightly community time after the boys are asleep. Well, more time for the community is the plan; however I do have meetings and gathering already scheduled to make up the time. Not that I can’t do meetings and gatherings when Hera is here … it’s just a lot easier when she isn’t screaming that something just bumped into her and we’d better take it with us. I’m still getting heck for leaving her alone in a haunted house while I was on the west coast.

Haunted house?! Yes, I love it. There are all sorts of concentrations in my house - friendly of course.

What’s on the plate? I’m having a definite lack of want to code, so I probably won’t be adding anything exciting and new to the website until mid-June anyways. I will tell you that I did start my Psychic Reading Course outlines and articles while I was out west. Should be an exciting or at least interesting time in the fall.

Another beautiful day on Olympus. The boys are outside having a grand old time and I’m hard at “work” once again. What’s new on the mountain these days? Let’s see .. I reassembled the trampoline a couple of weeks ago and everything else of the boy’s is back up and ready for summer (let’s hear it for Play Central). We did get a new pool for them to enjoy when it’s warm. Nothing big of course just one of those little 3m round pools. It came complete with pump, cover, and brominator. Oh yes, back to chemistry class for me. I was weighing the benefits and differences between bromine and chlorine use in pools and decided that since the pool is in full sun all day and can have quite a high bather load I’d stick with bromine. Being able to look after the pool much like a spa is much more convenient for me anyways.

The world of psi has seen some interesting waves in North American energies lately. I always feel I should apologize to people in Europe or elsewhere since I don’t keep constant tabs on those areas. It’s not that I don’t want to, but they’re outside of my normal haunting grounds. It’s been an interesting ebb and flow of energies that will see a rogue wave of energy coming in around the 25th … those of you that can shield should do so on that day.

I leave for a week on Tuesday so don’t be all up in arms if I don’t update for a bit. Once the gathering starts I’m not entirely sure I’ll have the spare time to blog, nor access to a computer for that matter. Yay for psychic times. Oh, and those of you in the valley, and on the Island we promise to contain balance as per usual standards.
