Where did the year go?

Hello there!

For some of you it is already December 31.

I am amazed at the speed at which this
month went, much less the year!

I hope that the end of it finds you exactly
where you had wanted to be, or maybe even
BETTER. I once heard that when things we
want don't work out, we should desire the
equivalent - or even better.

Sometimes I am not sure how something
could be an improvement, but sit back in
amazement when I realize it has shown up.
For you I wish only the best - whether
you think you deserve it, or not.

Because...odds are you are
probably too hard on yourself if you
don't think you deserve the most awesome
possibilities in your life.

With that, I will be tallying up points
for those who played December's game, and
you will be hearing from me in the next
week. Feel free to contact me sooner, if
you want to touch base.

Looking forward...January will be a month
of Joy for those who want to experience
more of me. I will be providing a different
file every day for the month for only $2.50.
It can be any of my files, and those that
have been selected include movie files,
audio files, and image files (including
animated gifs). All you need to do is click
on the banner on the top of this blog to
participate.

Some of these files date back to the
beginnings of my Isis days, so odds are
they may not be files you have seen or
heard or are familiar with if you are
new. Some of the files are more recent.

You will not know what file you are getting.
You may receive one that you already have.
If you wind up with a medium to large
percentage of duplicates, and are "playing"
regularly we can talk about possibilities.

However, please note that given the low
cost of the files for this month, I reserve
the right to wish you double your pleasure
should you receive one you already have.

There will be zero duplicates during the
month, though. You will never receive the
same file twice from the posted emails.

Please note that I am manually updating the
pay email so the time of update may vary from
day to day (but will likely be some time after
10 pm Eastern US time). You will know if the
email content has been updated by the subject
line which will include "Day #x."

As always, if you have any questions, please ask!

Have a great and safe New Year's Eve and Day!
 

Merry Christmas

This is a beautiful story. It is one that has
me thinking about the things in my life that are
important to me.

On this special day, my wish for you is the joy
you seek, my wish for those you care about is
the expression of the love you are, and my wish
for the world is that these "simple" things
come together creating peace and balance for
those who call this place home.

And, last but not least, I wish these things
for you not only for one day on the calendar,
but as a foundation for every moment of your
life.

Merry Christmas.
Isis
 

Merry Christmas to All...

and to All a good night.

Sweet dreams of hypnotic sugarplums.
 

Thanks

Thanks to those who have been in touch - even as
I haven't been as accessible as I usually am.

If you really need a reply from me, please let
me know. I will be replying to those communications
as soon as I can. Sorry that some have been
left unacknowledged as long as they have. I
am usually much better at responding, so I thank
you for your patience and understanding.

As always, those who call are a top priority
and they get my full and complete attention.

I have several things going on, and a few irons
in the fire for the next few months. It will be
interesting to see where my creativity takes you
in the New Year. Of course I hope you will like
and appreciate my efforts - as always I am
enjoying creating with you and your pleasure
in mind.

Talk to you soon!
 

Greetings of the Season | Video

For some reason this song is
going through my head a lot today.

I realize it is obvious in some
way because of Christmas being
around the corner.

But I can't help but wonder why
this particular one is in the
mental spotlight. Perhaps it
harkens back to the innocence
of my early Christmases. There
is something very special about
the untarnished magic of the
season which often comes with
childhood.

Perhaps it is something about
that innocent time that has me
singing this song today. Here's
to those moments that stand on
their own without the weight of
worry or concern and are timeless,
welcome memories.

just for the heck of it...
another fun one of the season.


I hope you are finding some
juicy morsels of your own
to enjoy. Would love to
know what yours are. Care
to share? Comment below,
or feel free to contact me
directly.

Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays!

Here is the video I promised you.

Watch and Enjoy!

A Lover's Passion | Video

I have been wanting to share this for a while.

It is a poem by Rumi. He is known for his poetry,
especially when it comes to the subject of Love.

What I like about this poem is that it speaks to
the feeling of being in love with someone in the
kind of way that feels like it is without a choice.
Have you ever felt that feeling? The feeling of
something pulling on you that you were unable to
resist?

Of course, it might seem "logical" to speak of it
in hypnotic terms here, but I have found as hypnotic
as love can be, there is nothing like the purity
of a feeling that isn't fabricated as a function
of another's conscious manipulations.

The fabrications may be pleasurable, but when you
find yourself at the "mercy" of the beauty of the
"real" thing, nothing beats it - in my opinion.
And, of course, it is the only one that matters,
right? :P And if you believe that, boy have I
got something to sell you. LOL.

Any way...take a listen, and see what you think
of what his message is, and I would love to hear
your thoughts in the comment section below. I
will share mine, as well, at some point. But I
would rather not bias you - at least not to start.

Enjoy.

Knowing What is Important

While I worked diligently on my new Naughty or Nice
game, I had hoped that things would ease some when
it was completed.

Well, it did, and it didn't.

I have been helping out a friend who had surgery,
and it is amazing to consider how much effort goes
into the little things. I barely got some sleep at
one point, concerned about their well being. I might
not have had to be so attentive, but this person was
so out of it, they didn't even remember some of the
things that happened.

In regular life, this person is always in control -
and there was a desire to be in control - even in an
extremely doped up state from the anesthetic. It
didn't work too well. This person wanted to act as
if everything was just fine - but it was pretty darn
far from it.

It was like watching someone enmeshed in a hypnotic
state. At one point I wondered if I should just
take control and tell the person what to do, instead
of the person having any say - or at the very least
having to battle for their say. As per my usual, I
tried to respect the person's desires - and
ultimately went with what they wanted...given that it
is likely in a similar situation I would want the same
respect.

In life we are often given opportunities to dance with
others. Sometimes that dance seems more complicated
than others, and sometimes it just seems to flow. Of
course, the times that flow can be pretty amazing, but
it is those times that don't flow that likely offer us
the greatest opportunity for clarity and to see what we
truly value and deem important - as long, that is, that
we allow ourselves to see things through a flexible lens.
When we fight to stick to what WE want, we may lose a
bigger battle than the one we think we are fighting.

All of which leads me to think about how important it is
for us to know what we want at the core of us. It is
the core that is in many ways our steering wheel. When
we know what is important, and focus on it, we seem to
be able to steer in a direction that coincides with the
place we want to be. I am sure you would agree there is
nothing worse than trying to steer in one direction, but
finding yourself unable to go the way you want to go.
I would say that inflexibility in the moment can often
make for a difficult drive.

I would also say this likely goes for most things.
However elusive knowing what you want may sometimes be,
it is an invaluable ally - especially in times of
conflict and disagreement. Sometimes there is nothing
better than giving into what another wants - just to
preserve the bigger picture.

Want a great gift for Christmas? (Besides my images,
that is LOL) Get clear about what is important to you
and why it is important. I can pretty much guarantee
you it will be one of the best gifts you will ever
give yourself.

I hope your month is going by without any glitches, and
is full of lots of love and wonderful surprises. Have
you seen my holiday video yet? I took it down from
youtube at one point, concerned that it might be reported
as against their terms. I will be putting it up here in the
next few days. You may want to come back and check it out.

Have a great night, and I hope to "speak" with you soon.
