Beloved,
From the longest heat wave we have had in a long time, in the 90’s
to this morning at a low of 63 at 10AM. Mother Nature is claiming
her femininity and responding to the high and lows of the energy
from humanity. I am sitting here at my computer with a turtle neck
long sleeve with a sweatshirt on top of that and a vest on besides.
Brrr, even my hands are cold and they are tingling like they are
asleep. I believe our bodies need some time to adjust their
thermostats from hot to cold or they don’t work right. I could
put my space heater on, after all that is what it is for but I am
too stubborn to pay for heat in summer. Do you think if I went and
jumped in the lake I would get warm?
I am laughing at myself as I become the observer and watch my human
self make decisions that don’t make much sense except it is the way
I feel. I have had a week of AHA moments while I was dealing with
the mundane.
Since I have a well, there are more minerals in my water and my tub
and toilet get this deposit that kind of looks like an orange stain.
My toilet I can soak in products that almost remove all the deposit.
My tub and tub walls are a different story. Since I cannot be
in the area of any chemical spraying, I paid for a young lady to
clean my tub area with sprays and I stayed out of the bathroom. It
really did not work that well on the accumulated minerals and my
walls were kind of streaked.
This bothered me every time I see the tub area because I soooo want
it to look clean. Would you believe that guidance gave me one heck
of an idea? I mean it was that small voice that you have to pay
attention to. I never expected to get mundane help from above so
maybe my expectations are too low. I will pay more attention from
here on out. Guidance said to use Mr. Clean erasers??? I had used
them before and I had a half one left so I tried it. Much to my
surprise it worked better than anything else and NO spray or chemicals
that would set me on my heels for a couple of days.
So I went to the store and checked out what Mr. Clean has to offer.
It is an aisle that I rarely go down because the chemicals just
exude from all the cleaners. Mr. Clean had a pack of different
sizes and made for different jobs. They even had one for the
tub so I bought it. I couldn’t wait to get home to try it.
It worked so well and so easily that I was flabbergasted. I got
so excited that I whooped and hollered and danced up and down when
I looked at my tub. It looks so clean and it was something that
had disturbed me for so long because I felt helpless to do anything
about it. Now, if someone moves my shower curtain, I will not be
embarrassed. Not only that, but I will feel clean just by stepping
into my tub even before I take a shower.
Here is video that shows how excited was!
Hoarded Ducks See Water For The First Time….
Now this is something that will bring a smile…. These ducks were
rescued from a hoarder’s home; they had never seen a water pond,
etc. Mother nature definitely took over!!

Is there something mundane upsetting you and you feel helpless to
do anything about? I don’t remember asking guidance for a
solution to that particular problem and now I wonder how many other
solutions I had over looked. That guiding voice is so small that
sometimes I do not hear it or I think it is just my mind talking
to me. I keep asking guidance to speak louder so I will realize
that it is not just my overactive mind. Now, this has shown me
that if I am quiet, I will hear that small voice and if I listen,
things will go so much smoother.
Two days later, I noticed a daddy long-leg spider in my tub. It was
not a big one and I know that if a spider gets in your sink or in
your tub that has nothing but smooth surface, it cannot get
itself out. I was concerned because as a Reiki Master, I have taken
a vow to respect ALL life. I do not kill any insect except the
other day, I automatically slapped at a mosquito and killed it. I
felt bad afterwards but it was so automatic that I had not thought
first. Fortunately, I rarely have occasions with mosquitoes.
Back to the spider, I tried to figure out how to get it out without
the spider getting on me as I walked it to the door. One of my
biggest fears were spiders. My older brother used to close me in
the closet and tell me that there were spiders crawling all over me.
He and his friends once held me as he, one by one, pulled off the
kegs of a huge daddy long-leg and put them on me. No amount of
screaming stopped them. I finally conquered that fear by using my
husband’s shoes to kill them when they showed up and finally got
to using my own shoes. It took me a couple of years to progress
to the end of the fear and this was before I became a Reiki Master.
Finally, I realized that it would never be able to climb out because
my tub was even more slippery since I cleaned it. I took my bath
mat and let it hang over the side of the tub and put it down to the
bottom of the tub so it would have something to clime on. Every time
it got on the rug and I tried to pull the rug, it would run off of it.
Trying to help this spider was an exercise in realizing just how
hard it is to help others. How many times do our guidance and
angels try to help us and we run away? Because we don’t know what
will happen in the next moment, we stay in our comfort zone and
try to solve all our own problems when there is help just a
hand away.
It was quite a meditation as I was trying to help a life form that
God created without actually having to touch it. The spider
finally got up on the rug and I was able to fold the rug without
hurting it and I walked it to the door and put the mat on the
stoop so it could be free. Was this an opportunity from heaven
for me to realize that help is just a thought away? Or a prayer
away as we have free will and cannot be helped until we give
permission by asking.
Trying to help this spider was an exercise in realizing
just how hard it is to help others. We may be perceived as a threat
rather than a helping hand. Life does teach us a lot when we take
the time to listen. I am so grateful for these AHA moments for I
learn so much from feeling.
Speaking about God’s creatures, have the bears been bothering your
bird feeders? Have you stopped feeding the birds and miss them?
Here’s a solution. A bear proof bird feeder pole.

I have not seen a bear in my yard but I know many who do. I think
I will stick with spiders, they are easier to help.
