      Thank you my dear, I'm so glad you got it! Wasn't quite sure it didn't need further explanation, yet I wanted to just present it and leave it at that. :-D

    Connect with guardian angel
    Commune with the earth
    Listen to own soul

    Love your own reminders to spiritually connect to pending items. Reminding of non-physicals often are forgotten or neglected as they are of non-immediate in consequences. Great thinking Rosemary!

      I like the juxtaposition. Listen to your own soul is at the top of my list!

      It's really at the top of mine, too.

    Your lists are well thought out and laid out for checking them off. On the second list you forgot "Jumping over six tall buildings." :)

      Hmmm, would have to think up an item for the first list which it could equate to. Decluttering, perhaps?

    I absolutely love how you transformed an ordinary daily routine into miraculous moments because both can be true. It's up to us how we view our lives and how much magic we put into it.

    The reframing was most excellent. I'm not a list guy, but this is a good one.

      Funnily enough, I'm not a list gal either, but I did enjoy making this one.

      Well, that's one interpretation, lol. I was more thinking that getting one's finances in order enables one to use the available funds without running out.

    Sounds like a list from a medieval knight (or mage). :)
