Hi Indigo Adults! Happy 2010!!!
Happy 2010!
Here’s how to follow The Indigo Adults (my blog) without checking back every day
If you don’t have a Google Account, set one up. This will give you access to a lot of excellent Google Applications including Gmail, Picasa, etc, but for our purposes we will be looking at Google Reader.
Once you have an account, sign in and go to your new Gmail account and at the top left you will see a bar of various links including “Reader”. Click on reader. This is your Google Reader account. Because your account is new, you don’t have any articles coming in yet, but when you do, this is where you will read them. You can click on “Add a Subscription” from this page and do a search for the RSS of the site you want to follow, or you can go to step 3.
Go to a blog that you want to follow. I’m using Safari, so I will describe to you how to do it in Safari. All browsers are different. So lets say that you want to follow www.alwaystraveling.wordpress.com. You would type that into the address bar (where the http:// is) and to the right of the address you will see a blue box that says “RSS” click on that and you will then have the choice to “Add To Google Homepage” or “Add to Google Reader”. Click “Add to Google Reader”. By doing this, all posts to this blog will then show up on the page we were on in step 2.
When you want to read articles, open up the folder to the coresponding blog and then you can see all the titles of all the posts. You click on the title and get an intro of the post. If it sounds interesting to you, click on the title again and it will bring you to the blog to read the full article.
Time seems to go faster and faster, doesn’t it?
I’m sure there is an indigo adult out there that will say that it actually IS GOING FASTER on a quantum level, but regardless… I think everyone is looking to get more productivity out of their time.
And as New Year’s approaches, what better time time to assert better time management in the coming year?
If you’re not already using Google Reader, let me tell you that it is a great way to go through literally thousands of articles you are interested in, in the time it used to to take to go through a newspaper.
Here’s how to follow The Indigo Adults (my blog) without checking back every day:
This Post/Page is here to help you simplify your life by learning a technique for taking in an enormous amount of information… thousands of articles, in less than an hour.
I learned this from last year’s Thirty Day Challenge… A wonderful program that gave me a better scope of the Internet (which I already knew quite a bit about) while getting my methods more streamlined and optimized and leveraging my time I spend on the computer. I highly recommend participating in this year’s 30 Day Challenge. It’s free (their slogan is “There is no charge for Awesomeness” and it truly is awesome.
Anyway, the Google Reader lesson was particularly valuable for me because before I understood how to leverage RSS readers, I was quite frustrated with the fact that I had so many friends with great blogs but no way to know when they had posted. Nor did I want to keep reminding myself to check back every few days to see if there was a new post.
So here’s what you do.
I hope this article saves you time and energy on the Internet.
I wrote this also with the intent that you RSS my blog so that you can keep up with what I am writing in an easy and convenient way.
Ed Dale and 30 Day Challenge go into it in much more detail here:

New Indigo Adults Revelation/Harry Potter Analogy
This weekend I had yet another experience that reiterated why Flagstaff is so good for me…
You know how in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry and Hermione had a tent that made their location undetectable except when they said Voldemort’s name?
That is Flagstaff for me.
It is my tent and my protection.
There’s just something about this city…
I have had someone around me for my entire life and this is someone who has always considered me to be pretty worthless because I’m different.
A muggle through and through, but an Uncle Vernon, the kind of muggle that not only does not understand the magical world of indigo adults and children, but ignorantly despises this world and is quick with venomous words in regards to it.
Growing up around this, and being an empath, all I kept hearing was “you suck” but it was coming from outside of me. It was coming from my own personal Voldemort.
The unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate) complication is that I love this person dearly, and she has many endearing qualities to her. She just has a script pointed at me that says “worthless”.
So in the past, I was not able to distinguish between my own voice, which generally says that life is good and that I’m powerful, good and whole, and the voice coming from my Voldemort saying the opposite.
Being in Flagstaff and Sedona for a month, I got clear on my own voice again. My life is so full of positivity here, and this is who I truly am.
Getting on the phone with Voldemort this weekend, and being told things that do not mesh with who I really am, I was easily able to determine that not only within this conversation was I being told (not verbally, but telepathically) that I’m no good, but my entire life I’ve been hearing it. Again, not overly… Not out loud… But every time Voldemort’s attention was on me.
Can you imagine being able to accomplish anything when one of the people closest to you, and therefore loudest in your head telepathically, is saying all those negative things?
I am flashing to the scene at the end of the 5th Harry Potter movie, in which Dumbledore and Voldemort battle it out. At the end of the battle, Voldemort does the most insideous thing he could possibly do, which was get inside Harry’s mind and torture him with cruel word and thoughts.
I have had my moments of writhing on the floor in pain from the thoughts and images coming at me from outside of me.
This is why I have learned to shield so diligently and why I believe that all indigo adults and children need to learn how to do this to maintain their vitality and well being.
The comforting aspect of this revelation is that
1. I know now these thoughts are not mine. They never were and they never have to be again. I live in a world of joy, positivity, abundance, support, peace, and love. That is what I am creating and vibrating and sending out to the universe.
2. I am safe if I stay in Flagstaff/Sedona. I have never found that to be true anywhere else, but I have actually seen these cities bounce people out that do not belong. Those that are not aligned with higher vibrations, or aspire to align with higher vibrations find it very difficult to stay here. My ex-boyfriend, a Petunia, got lost in Sedona three days in a row and would have never found even one of the vortexes if I had not shown him the way.
I’d like to end this piece by saying thank you to all of my friends, neighbors, animals and mentors that I have found here in Flagstaff that have reflected to me the powerful and good person that I am. I am so grateful that I am here now. That I am safe. That I am surrounded by like-minded people. And that my life is just going to continue to get better and better as time goes on.
They may not read this, but they will feel my vibration and thought subconsciously.
Raw Food Restaurants for Indigo Adults (and Health Nuts) in Las Vegas
While I find that eating raw food in Las Vegas makes me feel like I’m about to lift out of my body (ah… the psychic mind of an indigo adult), I still thoroughly enjoy the taste, so even when I was in Vegas this weekend, I enjoyed the raw breakfast I shared with my friends.
Here are two Raw Food Restaurants in Vegas that I really like.
1. Go Raw Cafe
We at at the location in an area called “The Lakes” which actually has a manmade lake in the center of the community.
Is anything real in Vegas? Eh, no matter…
My friend lives there and it was realy nice to stay with her and be near water while in the desert.
The raw food restaurant was lovely and a favorite of several of my indigo adult friends in Las Vegas. I had never heard about this and I was so glad they shared it with me! I enjoyed the superfood smoothie with granola… a bit expensive (like most raw food) but filling and delicious.
My friends also said the “Gimme the Beet “Cheese” Burger w/ Fries” and “Portabella Mushroom Wrap” were also quite good. They also have a section of the restaurant devoted to raw foodie groceries (snacks, books, personal health products) that you purchase to take home (well, at the location I went to they did… not sure about 2nd Vegas location).
I discovered this place years before I lived in Vegas because I drove by it while I was staying on the Strip as a tourist. It’s mostly a health food store but they also have a cafe that serves veggie and raw Monday Thru Friday – 10 a.m. to 5 p.m and Saturday – 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
While I lived in Vegas I would get there too late to order, so I would usually go to the cooler in the back of the store and find one of their breakfast smoothies which is my absolute favorite in terms of taste and I feel great for hours afterward. Better prices than at Go Raw, too.
Any indigo adults out there have recommendations for other raw food restaurants in Las Vegas? How about other cities? Your words will be especially helpful to me and other indigo adults if you give recommendations in cities where it’s hard to find raw food (like Vegas).
