this is going to be a little wierd but here goes....
not long ago one of the guys at work offerred me a fresh hard boiled egg to eat. after cuttting it in half i found a perfect heart in it- really!
now the weird part- a bit before this I had been reading up on voodoo which just fascinates me. I was reading about the loas and erzulie freda is the love loa. so- i thought what the hey and made a little request of her and then this egg comes along. um- do ya'll think it was a real love ju-ju or just a weird conincidence??? the reason it freaks me is the heart is erzilie's symbol or veve as it is called in voodoo.
I think I am getting ready for the real deal with a guy but am still scared of it too. I likes mah freedom! but of all the hundreds of eggs I have eaten I have never ever found a heart in one.

Is true love coming sundog's way? heck- I'll settle for some true lust this week.

Did you eat the egg?
That is something I have never seen either. I know absolutely nothing about voodoo. But it does seem like a sign. How exciting for you if it is! =)

Woooooooo... that IS weird, but how neat! You should have taken a picture. Any news on the love front?

Kell

How strange! I would definitley take that as a sign. Any potential love interests? You know, maybe it's the man who gave you the egg...hmmmmm......makes you wonder doesn't it?

naw- it couldn't be the guy who gave me the egg- it was kung- a married kid. I ate the egg though!
nope- no news from the love front. things are a little bit hectic and I am learning many new things from a certain man at work but we are just work friends.dont think anything is going to bloom there. ah well- I shall wait and see who comes along next. at my age they are few and far between ( and sometimes i am glad of this).

Hi, this is just my two cents but it might not represent a physical love interest. It is also possible that it's a reminder to love and nurture yourself, especially if you've been burning the candle at both ends lately. Or it could be a reminder that you are loved by those in Spirit.

Good thinking, Snoopy!

thats really creepy, sundog. whats even weirder is i just made a dozen hardboiled eggs to make deviled eggs. now i'm gonna be looking for shapes every time i crack one open!

That is good thinking Snoopy. I hadn't even thought of that!

Christine, you'll have to let us know if you find anything in any of those eggs!

No shapes, Trinity! Not even one!! All circles, darn it...oh well, maybe next time.

Yes- I think it could also be a reminder to nurture and love the self. I have some feelings about love and soul mates and all that. first I do feel that we must be in love with ourselves- not in that egoist way but in the nurturing way- to include taking care of one's health and spoiling in a positive way.( we all know that though- easier said than done!) for if we do not value ourselves then what is there for someone else to value? Do we want a person to want us because we are incomplete- or sick- or whatever? NO! that is not the one you want.

and I know this will sound very odd and I am not sure how to put it- but here goes.....the universe loves us and we need to be in a constant buzz of "in-love" whether or not we have a physical partner. the love must be there in place and then the right one comes along and plugs in......did that make any sense? I felt a need to say it- but i know it was said awkwardly. been getting these odd messages from the cosmos lately-makes me think i am nuts- well, I am nuts...but you know what i mean.

and- maybe there is a man- there is one who replies with a "why dont you marry it?" everytime i say i love something from a food item to something else. the vibe is there though i am not dicounting my over active imagination. even though i got the nerve to tell him that it has been predicted that there will be soul mate love of my life thing by an intense psychic-including lots of travel and laughter- he still continues to say this weird thing to me.it didnt scare him into not saying this thing- it should have though!!! I tried!!!I dont get it. he admitted to having no girlfriend the other day.......uh-oh!

Erzulie- you be the the goddess - the love queen! This all got going- as I am now realizing- not too long after the egg thing......

another thing I have been doing is using the moon phase to speak directly to the universe. in the waxing phase- as in all magick- it is for gaining. been doing that for career and love in a non-specific way - no names- just asking that i not have to walk this path alone- that it be walked with a best friend and a best lover- that these thing come to pass. well- they are- gradually. whether the moon actually causes this or we believe it does and therefore......it seems to work. it seems to give peace and understanding of the innermost self to stand in the light of her glory and address her....it is just peacful and good. of all the magick techniques( i am a chaos kitchen witch) i know- the simplest are the best.

pray to the moon when she is round- good luck for you will then abound- what you seek will then be found in sky or sea or solid ground.....

but that egg??? now that is a weird one! well- when life hands ya eggs - make egg salad!!!

Love YO-SEF!!! sundog

That little happening with the egg was very interesting. It might have been a little sign from Erzulie... but, what did she mean? It might have been that it was a simple sign to just put more love into yourself and your surroundings. By eating the egg, you placed the love inside yourself, right? Just another possible angle... =)

Sundog, I agree with what you are saying about the necessity to love yourself. That is very true! We can be so very hard on ourselves, and sometimes without respite. We shouldn't blame ourselves for things, like we all do from time to time.

Treating ourselves special is a very positive thing to do, because the better we feel, the better we look, and looking good helps others to pick up those positive vibes that you have worked so hard to create within your spiritual and physical self. As I heard Oprah saying the other day on her show.... "Good luck is simply when being prepared meets with an opportunity".

I think you are doing the right thing, Sundog... preparing yourself for the entrance of this special 'soul mate someone' into your life. But, you must be careful about reading too much into what this person is saying about 'if you love it, why don't you marry it' about all kinds of things. That seems to me to be the sort of comment that any man might make when he wants to be funny, and draw 'sex' into the conversation simply because that is what guys think about alot, and they like little 'sexual inuendos', but they don't usually take them seriously. Just want ya to be careful, and not get that heart broken!! =)

If this were indeed your soul mate, I find it hard to believe that you are the only one who seems to see it that way. I think when a person meets a soul mate, both of them are very aware that the other is a soul mate. If you have to ask him, or push him in the right direction, I think you may be setting yourself up for heartbreak. It has to be a spontaneous thing for both of you. Just be careful, eh, girlfriend? ::hugs::

I agree Az! I am being very careful with this one. he is not the sexual innuendo kind of guy- it's just bubbling out of him from time to time. chef says he likes me a lot- he can tell- and frenchmen know about these things- but the bottom line is we work together and I wont date at work anymore even though that's where somebody like me who doesnt have a life outside manages to meet men and really get to know them and all their bad behaviors before dating.everyone sees us together yacking, laughing and having a good time-to the point where no one else exists in the room.oh believe me there has been some teasing from time to time when he isnt around!

he is leaving soon to teach at the culinary school in st. augustine and he managed to get my new phone number- so we will see. he is very professional and would not date at work either. either way- i do have love in my life and if no man comes along then it isnt because i am not worthy- it is just that it is not meant to be. that's a hard one to remember on a lonely friday night in a small town- but somehow I manage. dont worry- this girl is being very careful with her fragile heart.when he goes it will be better- one way or the other. I am not worried- things will be as they will be. I'm OK.

love you- pammie
