Back after a brief break.
I drew Ehwaz, Nauthiz, and Thurisa were the runes I selected this morning.
Ehwaz indicates movement of some variety. I did a little research for a trip in June and have been invited to a party in July. There is a meeting in a week which I need to do some research for. See what I can do while I am employed.
Nauthiz advises me to address shame. Shame that I have or recognize from the past and recognize it belongs there.
Thurisa advises compromise. Interesting, trying to compromise with one's self. The goal of compromise is to achieve a win-win for all. The challenge is to meet the needs of both sides, yet, minimizing concerns.
Dagaz is the task for tonight. I feel a presence within my head. Dagaz brings a breakthrough, hope, and advises purpose. I went to work with a mission in my brain and discovered its time has not come. I hoped to hear from someone who cared. I didn't hear from one, I heard from five! I am continuing to pursue a purpose. I have questions to ask tomorrow. Perhaps I will have a vision in my dreams tonight. Time will tell.

Odin, Thurisa, and Ehwaz guided my day.
Odin is mystery in itself.
Thurisa brings wisdom. Remembering to follow your gut and using past experiences to support your actions. Success comes from the actions. Thoughts are things.
Ehwaz advised me to let go. Let go of what? Let go of the self doubt. Let go of the questioning. Just be. Let go of the past. Let go and Let BE!
Sowelu brings wholeness, compassion, and allows for healing. Today was healing because it brought a wholeness to my day. I have been asked to help heal someone and I am going to focus upon that tonight.

This morning, I drew Jera, Dagaz, and Raido.
Jera tells me to be patient and continue to work on my goals. It may take me a while, however, I will succeed. I created a selection of my favorite new affirmations to hang in my office. The addition of affirmations serves a couple purposes: 1) I see them when I need to bring some positive energy into my life and 2) others may bring positive energy into their lives as well.
Dagaz is the rune of daylight and brings hope. Hope that I am moving forward. I am internally driven to meet goals.
Raido focuses on harmony. I was able to maintain internal harmony during a couple discussions which could have strained my harmony at other times, without these tools.
Dagaz is my task tonight. Breakthrough, hope, and purpose. All good things to focus upon.

Wow, it is amazing what happens when you make changes in your life!
This morning, I was graced with two runes for each question. At times in the past, I have received two for a question, perhaps two.
Uruz and Ansuz guided my day. I needed the strength to have a conversation with someone which had the potential to be a challenge. I was able to think about what I wanted from the conversation and was given a lead in to the conversation from an outside source. The outside source came from an event instead of an actual person. I was able to create an opportunity from the event which allowed for the conversation to occur with a purpose instead of a demand. I observed the conversation, words, and manners and have a guide for future actions.
Raido and Isa gave me information regarding my health. It is my choice if I surrender to my fears or if I release them. Surrendering to my fears moves me away from freedom and towards my fears. Releasing my fears into the world to be cleansed is moving me towards freedom and away from my fears. Releasing fears allowed me to have the conversations I did with a variety of people today. I provided myself with a vehicle to move towards completing one of my professional goals.
Teiwaz and Uruz guided my relationship with my Self. My successful conversations and releasing my fears created a formula for success. The success I experienced today supports my passion for goals, for my life. This passion allows me to find the energy to support others in their search of their goals.
Raido is the task for tonight. I am on a journey and at times, I must surrender to the process. My journey is focused upon achieving harmony in my life. Raido does summarize the day fairly well. I went on a new part of my professional journey; I surrendered my fear to the world for cleansing; and I found harmony in the process. A wonderful day!

My day was guided by Othila reversed, Hagalaz, Kano, and Algiz.
Othila reversed cautions me that to keep with old conditioning will block my progress. It advises to leave the old ways behind and pursue new conditioning. We do without doing and things get done. This advise is timely to my activities for the day. I am finishing a two-day class. This class, along with my actions, will facilitate my future success. I meed to embrace new ways to accomplish this. I cannot rely on old conditioning. I need to look forward and move in that direction.
Hagalaz is elemental hail and its force is anger. Anger can be used productively as long as it is guided. I did not personally feel anger today. I did hear it in other voices. I heard frustration directed at others and directed at selves. I had technical difficulties with my computer connection. I did not get angry, I did feel frustrated. However, these feelings did not stay with me long. In fact, they were perhaps a blip on the radar. My chakra work is helping me to let go of anger. To stay balanced. I must admit, it was a balanced day.
Kano and Algiz joined up to guide me in my relationship with my Self. Kano advocates Inner Peace. Algiz advocates Mutual Trust. I had both. I have both. I was able to tap into my Peace while working on some exercises that could have been very emotional for me. I was able to recognize the potential for the emotion and release it. I experienced Mutual Trust with other students in the class. I had similar experiences with each, yet some connections were deeper because of shared interests.
What an amazing day!!
Isa is the task for tonight. There are fears I need to address within my mind. Fears of loss of security. Fears of not finding clients associated with a new endeavor. Fears of the unknown. Fears of Ethics violations. These are all fears which I can minimize by taking steps to make sure they don't materialize. For example, by keeping my current position, I can ease into my new project. By doing that, I am maintaining financial security while gaining experience so I am better positioned to jump into the that project. As long as I am careful about how my projects materialize, I am able to avoid any conflicts. Positive energy and creating relationships will bring clients to me. I can. I am. I AM!

What a day! It has be a long time since I have experienced such a inspiring, enjoyable, and beautiful day!
Thurisa, Kano, Isa, and Wunjo all provided guidance for my day.
Thurisa advises a pause, reflection, and consideration before taking a step forward, across the threshold. Are we ready? Are we forgetting something? Do we need to make an adjustment to our plans? These are all things, and more, we should consider as we contemplate our next move. When we are ready, then, take the step.
Kano and Isa bring caution. Kano asks we accept ourselves for who we are. That does not mean we have to stay as we are. We are always free to learn, grow, adapt, and change course. When deciding to change or to remain as we are, we must address our fears. We cannot live in the standards of the past and expect to be successful in the future. We must recognize that even the next breathe of air changes us and we are no longer what we once were. Fear is an excellent survival tool; it can also be a stumbling block if we allow it to slow us up in our pursuit of our goals, objectives, and purpose. Accept what we were, what we are, recognize we fear the unknown. Do that, then release those fears and our past to the universe and willingly take a step into the unknown, knowing the new will replace the old.
Wunjo is a celebration of joy. Celebrate yourself and all you have done, achieved, and the progress you have made. You've come a long ways and you have a long ways to go. On this day of predicted rapture, celebrate your life. Celebrate your lessons. Recognize what you assume are mistakes and failings; celebrate the things you learned as a direct and indirect result of those actions. Release them to be cleansed. Celebrate your successes in the same manner. Release them as well, knowing you are making room for new lessons. Welcome the chance to have new experiences and embrace the opportunity to learn more. Take the next step into your future with a smile upon your face!
After my day, I am not surprised to draw Odin as tonight's task. I am taking steps towards a new life. Completely unknown to me. The excitement is indescribable. The future is untold. All I know is no matter the outcome, I will be successful because I am taking that step, that first step, and will have opportunities to Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome anything that comes my way. I am responsible for my actions and inactions. No one else is. I make the choices. I act.

Berkana reversed, Othila, and Uruz directed my day.
Berkana is growth and when reversed, growth may be slowed due to our activities.
Othila is family and inheritance and grief is intimately tied with family life. Grief may come personally or you may grieve for someone else. It also may be for something that never developed. It may strong or it may be the size of an iota. Be cognizant of grief, recognize it, bless it, and release it.
Uruz is strength. Strength provides support to things that may or may not need bolstering. Provide it as you see need. Provide it to your self, Self, dreams, etc.
Mannaz reversed is the task for tonight. It does reflect my day, as well. And, it tells me that I am on the doorstep to a new endeavor and its success is entirely up to me. I need to focus, have an open mind, and an open heart. I need to clear my blocks and accept the success that is possible in my life.

Eihwaz, Nauthiz, Algiz, and Eihwaz offered guidance for the day.
Eihwaz advises defense. I spent the day in "Indian Country" and I felt a different energy, not sure if it was hostile or not. A headache started and I was able to keep it at bay, to a point. I need to learn some boundaries...
Nauthiz brings with it, shame. I am flying next weekend instead of driving (I got overruled) which is okay. I walked into a mess created by a co-worker which I was not prepared for. I also over-filled a pie, so it over ran in the oven.
Algiz and Eihwaz advised mutual trust and respect. Respect and trust the self and your abilities. I wondered if my protectors were in conflict with the energies at the meeting today. Traditionally, they would have been in conflict, I think. I'm not positive, though.
Fehu is the task for tonight. It advises to consider your possessions, be honest, and thankful for abundance within your life. I made new contacts today, was honest in a meeting and with myself, and have been thankful for abundance within my life. A good task for tonight, especially to be thankful for everything within my life.

At times, I wonder how people who do not have a guide or tool to guide their day decide "enough already, I will do it!" when no one is kicking them in the bum to do it??? So, Enough, ALREADY, I will do it!!
Gebo, Laguz, and Mannaz were the runes I drew this morning.
Gebo is the rune of gifts. I found an opportunity to make progress towards an objective earlier than anticipated. So, I did the paperwork and am on my way to meeting that objective so I can become a better employee and boss. Yahoo!!
Laguz indicates a need to see some humor in a situation. Someone left something where they shouldn't have, it was collected, and brought back to the office to determine what to do with the container and its contents. Labeled with the owner's name, we can't contact the owner through conventional means, and it turns out the container is empty so the owner wouldn't really care, anyway. I know those who stumble across this post won't get it because I can't give details and specifics, but it was pretty darned funny. If that wasn't enough, studying the human and its reactions to events and other humans' choices is pretty darned entertaining as well. For claiming to be rational critters, we are ruled by our emotions all too often.
Mannaz is where we start and when we enter into the world we are shown loving kindness. Be kind to all. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to your Self. Be kind. You never know when the action will be returned. Nor do you ever know when you will need just a tiny bit of kindness from someone to make your life worth living. Be kind.
Thurisa is the task for tonight. I am standing upon the doorway to a new life, a new self. I am pausing to look back upon life up until now, gathering my lessons learned, the great memories, the successes, the failures, and the little things in between. All these things I am gathering and releasing them to the world. I am preparing to open myself to something new, a new path. I am saving the wisdom I have gained, willing to gain more in different areas and willing to share the knowledge I have gained with others. I am compromising with the Self and others to refrain from pushing my will and instead am willing to watch and time my actions in accord with my habitat and the energies around me and others. I am willing to wait; however, as I wait, I will be in action: preparing a new canvas for my new colors and brush strokes as I move forward. Now is the time to repair instead of forging ahead blindly.

Fehu, Kano, and Hagalaz guided my day.
Fehu brought more signs I am on the right path. My next step is to choose the avenue I want to venture down. Do a little homework and then commit. That is all there is to it.
Kano indicates an opening and at times, accepting is part of that opening. Acceptance of what I am. Acceptance of where I am. Acceptance of who I am. Acceptance of what I can become. Acceptance of who I can become. Acceptance of the tasks and steps it will take to get me to that place and that person. Some times, acceptance is hard to come by; to give; and to take. It must be done.
Hagalaz brings challenges and provides the solutions. The solutions present themselves in plain language or in the places you never expected. No matter how they present themselves, it is a good idea to stop and consider the solutions prior to implementing them to determine if they are appropriate to the situation and challenge at hand. At times, it may be best to pursue the status quo or the solution presented to you. Hagalaz does not indicate a decision needs to be implemented immediately. You can choose to rush it, or consider the situation for all angles before making a decision.
Isa is the task for tonight. When a person feels as if he/she is at a standstill, it is either a stall or a pause in the action. At times, we feel fear when we come to a halt. Instead of running scared, we should take the time to reflect. Reflect upon where we have come. Reflect upon how we have grown. Reflect upon the past and where we have come. Isa indicates a need to step back, take a breath, appreciate where we have come, let go of the mistakes, and affirm where we are going. Affirm. Affirm and take the first step towards your future.

Ever feel like your calendar sneaks up on you like a mighty freight train? I was notified that I needed to take some training to qualify to do some of my work. My employer is notorious for crappy training, well, it turns out that an other agency has even WORSE training than the mother ship's. Oy!
Never mind, I digress. Fehu, Mannaz, and Uruz brought some sunshine into my day.
Fehu is associated with wealth and possessions. This wealth may not present itself in physical form. It may come in the guise of an idea or a sign that you are on the right track for your development. The less-than-thrilling news I received today, I chose to see it as a sign of the merits of my next endeavor. How cool is that, when those come knocking and you recognize them for what they are?!?
Mannaz starts at the beginning, when everything is innocent. Before we experienced life and its associated hardships, we recognized things for what they could be, not through jaded lenses. How do we return to that innocence without losing the lessons we have learned? How do we release the pre-conceived notions we have while not becoming entirely naive?
Uruz is strength, often times, supportive in nature. We are reminded to support ourselves in our dreams and aspirations. We are also guided to support others so they, too, can succeed. On one hand, it takes great strength to support (I am talking honest support here, not the double-edged sword support that has a chaser of jealousy thrown in) others in their activities and choices. The greatest strength comes when we can give the same honest support to ourselves in the same loving, non-judging manner. I hope to be as strong. I hope for you to be that strong.
Odin is the task for tonight. I admit, I was expecting to see Dagaz; however, Odin is even more appropriate. I have not had the breakthrough yet. I can still choose to walk away. Or, I can stay on this path, making choices, until I have a better understanding of my journey. No matter my choice, I can grow; I will grow!

Hagalaz, Isa, and Ehwaz guided the day. I must admit, I was expecting a humdinger of a day. It was fairly pleasant, all things considered.
Hagalaz brings disruption, hail, etc. I usually associate Hagalaz with all sorts of things, few pleasant. The most challenging thing to happen today was cooking wild rice. First, I have no idea how the recipe I followed was designed to feed one person with leftovers. I doubled it and could feed all of my family. Uffdah!
Isa brings isolation and part of isolation is addressing our fears.
Ehwaz advises to let go. Let go of what? Each of us decides. Look within for guidance, it will come. Look for it. Just look.
What a refreshing surprise, the draw tonight. Perth presented itself. Intuition, love, intimacy. The original interpretation described the atmosphere in the old halls: joy, revelry, gaming, living. When you look at the three of Blum's interpretations, they address just that: living. We have to remember to live even when life throws challenges in our direct path. Those challenges are there to test us and remind us to appreciate the great times and look for mushrooms in the dung. Say thank you for everything. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Laguz reversed, Berkana, and Dagaz graced my day.
Laguz reversed advises to be cautious and not overreach. Listen to intuition and go within for guidance.
Berkana is growth and at times, help is needed to grow. Asking for help from the Self, God, or others.
Dagaz advises purpose. I attended an Art Walk today and was able to make progress towards a project I've been working on for several years. Making progress!
Teiwaz and Mannaz are the tasks for tonight. Both do well to reflect today. The three runes indicate there is work to be done within and without. Having courage to make progress towards a project I've been working on. Following intuition to help myself and asking for help from my Self. Have Courage and pursue the development of my Higher Self.
Laguz reversed advises to be cautious and not overreach. Listen to intuition and go within for guidance.
Berkana is growth and at times, help is needed to grow. Asking for help from the Self, God, or others.

This morning I drew Kano, Berkana, and Wunjo.
Kano is the rune of fire. It indicates movement in some form as well as a caution to not leap into things too quickly. It is fire after all. Even if you are in the frying pan, it is safer than jumping into the flames.
Berkana is the rune of growth and, at times, that involves asking for help. Help may come from a Higher Power, other people, or from within. For me, today, it was from within. I've been working with my chakras and some interesting things have been happening: my internal systems are changing, I can feel things coming, and a few other things that I haven't quite grasped yet. I asked my Self today a question and it pointed me in directions that I need to focus. Pointed in the right direction, I know what the right action is.
Wunjo is the rune of joy. It is good to celebrate, by saying "thanks," so your vibrations change and you can attract more good. Even when someone hurts you, say thanks because there is a lesson there.
Berkana is the task for tonight. I did grow some today. I learned a few things about actually giving thanks for things. I also learned what I needed to work on. I will continue to grow tonight, asking for help, and doing the right thing. The Right Action for tonight is Odin, to have faith in the mystery. To believe in the mystery. Thankful for the mystery.

This morning, I drew Jera, Thurisa, and Odin.
Jera is the rune of, well, waiting. It indicates a cycle needs to be completed before an outcome can be reached. A new experience in my professional life: budgeting! Boy howdy, was that a... treat? It wasn't painful; however, I didn't have all the information I needed to comfortably talk money. Next year, the guys are going to help me out with this one! (they just don't know it yet, crafty-supervisor laugh goes here...).
Thurisa is the rune of wisdom. Thor did not rush in, he took his time. The wise one does the same. Consider all your options before diving into something head, or feet, first.
Odin is the mystery in all things. Be prepared for a surprise. Embrace the unknown, you never know what it might bring!
Nauthiz is tonight's task. It does reflect the day, in some ways. Dismay at the lack of knowledge, shame because I didn't know enough to fully participate in the budget discussion and provided information that was lacking, and learning my limitations. A good task to work on!

10 May 2011
Othila reversed, Thurisa, and Ansuz gave direction for today.
Othila is the rune of inheritance and family. When it is in the reversed position, old conditioning may need to be released. Consider what benefits you and others. I am pursuing more information and training, that, if I am right will be a benefit to many.
Thurisa brings wisdom. Wisdom to know what battles to fight. Wisdom to know what move to make. Wisdom to know when to rely upon our instinct.
Ansuz is a messenger and those messages are not delivered unless they are communicated. To whom do you communicate to and with? I hope you communicate with your higher Self and your higher Power in addition to the people in your life. The first two will give you more information than you will ever get from exterior sources. Open the doors and start listening to the environment around you.
Inguz is the task for tonight. Last night, I commented that I had not shared dreams or other things resulting from the last rune of the day. I did not dream anything that was overly disrupting. Therefore, I believe my premise maybe accurate. Time will tell. So, Inguz brings fertility, faith, and renewal. Fertile ground can be created and fostered. Faith needs to be fostered as well. Faith can sustain fertility and together, they can bring renewal. Renewal is the foundation to all things new.

Inguz, Fehu, Inguz, and Algiz were drawn this morning.
Inguz represents Ing, who brought fertility. Today was the first day of a two week summit on communications and other techniques in developing businesses. The most important thing in business is creating good relationships with customers. I learned quite a bit and have updated some of my networks. A productive day!
Fehu and Inguz gave health guidance today. I was acting today while part of the staff took part in a field exercise. The exercise was not a success. My day in the office was successful. I participated in a survey of leadership and gave my honest opinions (the Fehu) and had faith (Inguz) in my ability to play my role for the day. The nature of the field exercise and the customers made that a challenge.
Algiz indicates a need of Mutual Trust. Trust in my abilities and trust in my co-workers. Trust in my intuition and trust in the information presented to me. Trust. Trust.
Hagalaz is the task for tonight. A disruption is in store. There is anger for me to deal with. And challenges to meet. It has occurred to me that I haven't documented the night's work on here. Perhaps, I will tomorrow. Or not. I started this journal with a theory that my night rune was a reflection of the entire day. Hagalaz does play that role today. The field exercise was a challenge for me and for the people involved. I was faced with someone else's anger at feeling at loss because that person was not involved when the skills could have been used. I personally was faced with the challenge of running the front desk, budgeting, and attending three meetings. I think everyone did pretty well. Perhaps Hagalaz reflects the day and not the night's dreams to come....

Ansuz reversed, Gebo, and Othila guided my day.
Ansuz reversed advises to consider the use of adversity. Cleaning the old is a good place to start. I took time for me. Restoration can come in many forms from finding comfort in a nap or in comforts from home.
Gebo brings gifts and one of those gifts is trust. I trusted in myself. I strayed outside of instructions and was rewarded in my efforts.
Othila addresses the home and family. Today is Mother's Day and it is a family day. My family lives far from me and on days like this, the distance can be bittersweet. For me, cooking is an expression of my love for friends, family, and lovers. When it is just me, it can be a challenge. Today, they would have been proud and I would have been proud to serve them: eggs benedict with asparagus; clam chowder with carrots and potatoes; and a cheese souffle with asparagus. As compared to most things I cook, quite rich.
Algiz reversed is the guide for tonight. Protection, boundaries, and mutual trust. Focus upon the health and boundaries erected or destroyed. Trust in my higher Self, Higher Power, and Angels.

What a day! It was long and exhausting (but in a good way).
I've been working on my chakras and have discovered as I am more in tune with them, interesting things happen with my rune work.
Kano, Hagalaz, Isa, Thurisa, and Algiz all guided my day.
Kano and Hagalaz advised me for things I needed to know for the day. Such as my typical approach to house cleaning is not appropriate in all situations. Simple menu planning is always the best and with such good results, how can one go wrong?
Isa and Thurisa advised my health. Address your fears and gain wisdom in the process. Up early, slow and steady, no panic needed!
Algiz brought abundance into my day in the form of new friends through a kitchen party. A dry kitchen party which is one of the darnedst things! It was lots of fun!!
That was my day, yesterday. Too long and all that to even draw a rune for the night or to meditate before going to bed. I discovered the difference and wished I had at least meditated. Lesson learned!

6 May 2011
Ah, Friday! A long week is coming to a close and a new week is on the horizon.
Raido, Gebo, Ehwaz, and Dagaz facilitated today's activities.
Raido is a journey and Gebo brings gifts. I attended a community meeting today with the intention to foster good working relationships with customers. We had two customers attend. Good discussion ensued. I think we are on the path to improving relationships with our user base. Personally, I am on another journey, as well. I am working on becoming better centered and able to clear myself. My skills are starting to present themselves. Last night, I dreamed of the meeting I attended today. I did not recall the exact words spoke. However, it was the gist of today's happenings. I also recognized two other occurrences that showed I am making progress. A friend gave me the gift of trust. We are pursuing similar projects and I didn't want to intrude upon her project. It is certainly an indication of the strength of our relationship when we can pursue similar interests and not threaten the other.
Ehwaz suggests forgiveness. To forgive allows a person to continue with their healing. To heal is to grow. Both are important. The hardest person to forgive is yourself. I am working on myself and forgiving others for actual and perceived wrongs. Difficult, yet, needed.
Dagaz is the action of pursuing a breakthrough in a project, it brings hope, and in order to achieve both things, you must persevere. Even when detours present themselves, we must consider the delays, their applications, and how they can help us achieve our goals.
Mannaz is the task for tonight. The Self begins in innocence and offers Loving Kindness. Retaining or reclaiming innocence to give loving kindness is the challenge. It is important to reclaim innocence to allow the Self to blossom. Without innocence, we can not love unconditionally. Loving unconditionally is the perfect challenge and goal. We must learn from our hurts and from hurting others, forgive those trespasses, and heal enough so we can give that love without expecting love in return. To live, to learn, to love, and to leave a legacy. That legacy is the marks we leave on person's page in life.

Cinco de Mayo and Nellie Bly's birthday. Pretty cool for one day!
This morning, I drew Isa, Algiz, and Gebo.
Isa advises a time to stand still and look around you. Be patient, you are gaining strength and growing. Today, you need to take a bit of a breather. While at rest, you can cleanse away the old to make way for the new.
Algiz is a protective rune advising to create boundaries. Do not tell someone what to do. It is not your place. It is your place to listen and give advice as needed but not to make decisions. Boundaries can protect you from unwanted influences while you are unguarded. They can also keep out the good. Boundaries are needed, they should be used with care.
Gebo is the rune of gifts, of commitments. I have committed to cleansing my core and as I do that, I need to commit to myself to see that through to completion while still maintaining a protective layer. Especially during group meetings. If I am completely open to the influences of others in a large group, I can become overwhelmed from all the messages and emotions flying through the air. A good lesson for tomorrow as I will be amongst quite a few people all day.
Othila is the task for tonight. Othila addresses all things associated with the home and family: inheritance, grief, and home and family. We inherit the ability to create a home no matter where we are and the ability to create a family. In some ways, this creativity is the oldest inheritance we have. Home has a root in shelter and safety. Family is the continuation of ourselves in another format. Grief plays an vital part of the creativity process especially when it comes to the family. We need to be thankful for the grief as it shows us the fragility of ourselves and the life cycle of all things. It also enables us to appreciate the things we have lost and reminds us we will lose something again. Thank the grief, release the grief, and use the lessons learned to build a stronger home and a healthier family.

Algiz reversed, Sowelu, and Othila were this morning's selections.
Algiz is protection. The one person we need to be vigilant about protecting is ourselves. First and foremost, protect our health. Many things impact our health: diet, exercise, genetics, people, to name a few. Some things we have control over, such as whom we let into our lives. We also can manage our body and its balance. I am working on my inner balance. I hope that as I become balanced within, my life will become balanced without, as well.
Sowelu asks I give compassion for the second day. Having compassion involves not passing judgment onto others. That is a challenge for anyone! We judge every day. Someone wiser than me has said (no idea who, I think I heard this gem in some training or something) that we dislike 20% or 1 of every 5 people we meet on sight alone. That means, before someone says hello or is introduced to us, we have made a determination whether or not we will like them or hate them. I wonder if that is true? No matter. It is up to ME to decide if I am going to follow that reaction, evaluate the reaction as I meet that person, or toss the reaction out the window. I make that choice. The compassionate choice would be to reserve judgment until I have some "facts" to back up that decision. Likewise, it is up to me to also cut myself some slack when I am making changes in my life and I stumble and fall. Or make no decision at all. That needs compassion, too! Oh, yes, when you are evaluating a speech, it is also appropriate to show compassion to the speaker. Don't throw them under the bus. Its just not nice!
Othila is the rune of family and home. The best thing I can do for my family and my home is to create balance in my life, starting with myself. I am looking within to see what my blocks are and how I can become balanced. Strange things happen when you remove blocks. Like deciding what your speech topic will be within 15 minutes of agreeing to speak. Huuuhhh? You may say. All I can say is that some times you feel something that clicks and that is all there is to it. Guess you have to experience it yourself.
Mannaz reversed is the task for tonight. As I work at becoming balanced, I need to remember to pursue that in a selfless manner. I am working on achieving one with my Self, with the Greater Power, and angelic beings. I am reminded to return to innocence and innocent times through memory. I practice Loving Kindness. Loving Kindness is the key. As I practice it towards other people, hurts dissolve and understanding increases. As I practice it towards myself, fears are released and love increases. I find harmony. A good task at any time.

Ehwaz, Sowelu, and Nauthiz guided my day.
Ehwaz is the rune of movement. The movement isn't solitary, it is in tandem such as the horse and rider. It indicates new shifts in either physical locations or mental and spiritual being. Today, I registered for a seminar that starts next week and runs for 11 days or so. I am looking forward to the seminar, the speakers are all leaders in their areas of business. I also looked at two opportunities for continuing my education. I will be pursuing them more.
Sowelu brings the Sun's energies and with it, provides a mode for compassion. The hardest person to have compassion for is your self. The second is those closest to you. The funny thing is, they both go hand in hand. When you show compassion for yourself, it reflects onto your partner or family members. I am the most critical of myself. I know people close to me would say I am critical of them; however, I get the brunt of my worst criticism. I took steps today to change that. After Sunday, which was a defensive day, and yesterday that was sort of a lick-your-wounds day, today was a day that felt empty but there was something just waiting up ahead for you to stumble upon it. I found the tail of that thing. Now, I need to work my way up to the head to see what it is and what it brings to my life. I am hoping for balance and clarity. Mostly balance.
Nauthiz is need, pain, and constraint. My need is to find balance. My limitations are reflecting my closed stature. The closure is a boundary that I erected a long time ago. I don't know if it ties back to a hurt or several hurts. I know I can't move forward with any sense of happiness unless I find balance. That balance must come from my core. The journey begins!
Uruz reversed points towards the task tonight for tomorrow. Uruz is strength, it is the aurochs. I must reclaim my strength in faith that my actions will bring me balance. Part of that strength is the willingness to release that portion of my self that needs to be let go of so I can replace it with an affirmation (or many). Gratitude to that self for its lessons and help in getting me to where I am. And support of my self and those whom are closest to me so I can achieve that balance and not impact them unduly. A heady challenge (or is that headly?)!

A better day. Its interesting how you feel when you are blocking everything. Strange and a bit headachy.
Algiz reversed, Othila, and Hagalaz guided today.
Algiz reversed councils to look at the associations I form at this time. Ah, the light bulb went on! I asked the runes a question and did a reading this morning. I wasn't sure it was a good time to do so as I wasn't exactly centered and didn't "feel" where things were supposed to go. It turns out the question I was asking was timely considering the council brought by Algiz. The reading pointed out a few things that I need to work on.
Othila advises I address grief. Grief comes in a number of forms. What could have been. What was. The passing of a person. The passing of an idea. Or, a reminder to be thankful for a variety of successes as they won't always be there.
Hagalaz brings challenges. Today's challenges was to look at information presented and find a good sounding board to feel things out. I'm not there yet, but am making some progress. Another rune advised I stick with what I am working on to work on myself and see what happens. Another challenge was to recognize that I have made several mistakes. One was to not communicate the challenges I faced when I moved here. I should have addressed that. Of course, it is a moot point now. I can apply what I learned in the future, though. I am also reading more about chakras. That project will be a challenge, too!
Nauthiz is the task for tonight. Looks like my lessons for the day aren't over, yet. Nauthiz brings constraint, pain, necessity, shame, and limitations.

1 May 2011
Happy MAY DAY!!!! No one was here to give me a May Day basket, though. That sorta bites. Oh well. Perhaps next year?
Eihwaz, Raido, and Berkana were today's guiding forces.
So, when Eihwaz shows up, ya better listen and protect yourself like nothing doin! I have met my obligations to the other half for the project we are working on. Or were working on, I don't know. I do know I have a rough day and am trying to not repeat it for the night. Dinner is too good to allow it to make a repeat performance, into the toilet.
Raido indicated I needed to surrender to something. Which I did. I did some more homework and the day was not rosy, by any means. I am not sure why people interactions, especially of the romantic variety, have to involve a yo-yo?
Berkana advocates doing what is right, in this case, Thurisa. To compromise. Okay, I sent the information requested of me. He got what he wanted. I got nothing. How is that compromise??? At least my homework shed some light on the situation. I have to decide how much of me I want to invest in the relationship. I was hoping for a better good time: bad time ratio. No decisions yet.
Eihwaz is the task for tonight. Defenses up! Address denial. Respect thyself and others. Defense! Defense! Defense!
