Rain, fog and cleanses

Although this did not take place in Sebastopol it very well could have.  My sister's close friend, who resides locally, was invited by her landlord to do a vision board.  She told my sister, "I don't really want to but I'm afraid I'm going to offend her if I say no!"  My sister thought, only in Sonoma County does someone have to worry about offending their landlord for lack of wanting to do a vision board!

"Cleansing is hard and can be taxing on the body and take a lot out of you.  People around here talk about cleanses like they are talking about the weather."

My sister has been letting others store items in her garage, and with the housing shortage storage has become a bigger issue.  Someone suggested to her she could rent out her garage to people who don't have enough storage space at home.  "And it's Sebastopol," I pointed out.  "You could say you will store their things and also smudge their boxes periodically."
My sister also mused, "If you're storing crystals rest assured they will be moved to the nearest window once a month during the full moon for direct moonbeam cleansing."

From a reader:  "It was kind of late and I was tired.  I was texting outside Starbucks trying to meet up w/my son and it was cold and this flashing light was sooo annoying.  I thought it was a flashing open sign.  When I finished the texting back and forth and looked up I saw it was a flashing 'yoga' sign.   I lol'd.  Where else would you see a neon flashing yoga sign?!"

A Milk and Honey worker was telling me about a woman who got offended by a Lakshmi card when she walked in.  The cards are literally right next to the door.  "She couldn't even make it past the cards?" I noted.
"I thought, our whole store is probably going to be a big problem if that offended you!"

Someone I used to work with was chatting with me about wilderness tours.  At one point he mentioned, "I used to live in South Lake Tahoe.  When people talked about guides they usually meant of the wilderness type.  I'm finally used to around here - when people are referring to guides they usually mean spirit."

A friend visiting from out of state, who used to live in this area, exclaimed: "Oh, my god!" then changed it to, "Oh, my goddess!  I forgot what jurisdiction I was in."
