FORGIVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AND YOURSELF

Posted on by

Beloved,

Well, the migration has begun. I went out in my kayak and noticed
that several pontoon boats have been taken out of the water and
prepared for winter. This is a beautiful time of the year but it
is also sad for me as I truly love the activity around the lake and
the people you see only for 3 months a year. My favorite bird, the
Oriole had already left and now the hummingbirds have begun their
migration so they are no longer around.

When I went to the beach to launch my kayak, I noticed a lot of dead
fish on the shore. I had not seen that many fishermen around who
usually throw the fish back and these were white perch about
3-4 inches long. As I went around the lake, I ran into a man who had
been in the cove and he said there was probably 150 – 200 dead perch
in there.????? He was going to check with people he knew and when I
came back, I called the Fish and Wildlife Assoc to report it and to
get info.

It turns out that occasionally this happens and the two year old
perch seem to be the most vulnerable and it is probably a bacteria
that only that size of white perch fish are vulnerable
to this particular bacteria. They will check it out but they
assured me that for 200 fish there are probably 2,000 or more still
alive and well. I know the Lake Association was around the lake
checking things out and also the Health Department was called.
It takes ALL in a community to make a difference.

Ecology is a balance and to keep the lake healthy, we all need to
pay attention and report it to people who are in the know and who
can help if there is a problem. This brings to mind the tragedy
of our Embassy in Libya where the Ambassador and others were killed.
Most of Libya is still pro-Anerican but it only takes a few to spoil
the broth as we say. When something that unusual happens, it certainly
comes to our attention

We Americans like to think of ourselves as good guys and Saviors of
the world. Yet, mixed in with those of us that prefer to do good,
there are a few that do not have the compassion and wisdom to use
our great gift of free speech to do good. Our men and women die
for these people to have the freedom to think and say what they feel
yet I doubt that the few bad eggs have any conception of the gift
they inherit by living in the USA. This author is now in protective
custody because of death threats.

When I heard of this atrocity, I got angry at the author for being
so unfeeling about another person’s faith as to write and defame
Someone Else’s beliefs. Yet, aren’t we all guilty of saying things
that are not beneficial to someone else? It is called spreading
a rumor.

Then after a few minutes and some deep breaths, I needed to see the
good in this tragedy. The victims gave up their lives so that the
whole world would see what hatred does, what bigotry does, what mob
mentality does, and also what INDIFFERENCE does. Why are we so blind
to what is happening to our neighbor? When are we each individually
going to spread compassion and compromise to our families, our
neighborhood, our state, our country and then to the entire planet?
WE ARE ONE SPECIES ON ONE PLANET!

It took only one person to start this ball rolling, the author. YOU
too, can make a difference. I wonder if just ONE person took the time
to speak to this author, to help him understand what freedom really
means, to use his gift to spread Love instead of bias, to actually
be an example of tolerance that the author could emulate, would it
have made a difference? We will never know now. Let us
offer now compassion for his ignorance and refrain from making
hate and revenge go viral.

Our emotions spread like a virus, let us offset the anger with
compassion and love for all that are involved in this scenario.
E-motions are E-energy in Motion. Your emotions are felt at a heart
level clear across the planet just like telephone waves and the web
waves reach anyone you wish to contact. I do not condone what was
done, yet you can help all affected by having your loving feelings
of compassion go viral.

What is it that YOU can do? What is that saying? “For evil to
flourish, it only takes a good person do nothing”.

Speaking of what one person can do. Check this out.

FEEL THE FEELINGS – HAPPY GRANDPARENT’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Grandparent’s Day (Sunday)to all you grandparents out there!

I hope you all used your God given right to vote yesterday. It
was a little confusing as it was on Thursday instead of Tuesday.
That is one gift from God and the beautiful soldiers who protect our
country so we can be FREE to choose who and what we wish, that I
will not give up. Especially us women who want to be in our power,
if we do not vote, we give up our power to others. Let’s stay in
the power that has been hard won by all our predecessors. I like to
use the Primary as a way to give a boost of confidence to those who
have no opponents. It is my way of saying “Good Job” by clicking
next to their name (of course, only if I think they are doing a
good job). Many decisions are based on the primary election numbers.

I know fall is here as many signs point to it. Have you noticed
that there are trees that have changed? Actually some trees start
changing in August. I love Fall but it is also a sad time for me
as my favorite birds leave or have left already in migration. The
hummingbirds are still here for a few more weeks but what I miss
most is the singing of the birds. It is so quiet!

If my windows are closed, I can’t hear any of their tweeting so I
open one window on each side of the house for a half hour or hour
because I love the way their singing just blends in with my prayers
and meditations. It is the time that I know I will “hear” them before
I get busy with life and only occasionally pay attention. Today
is muggy and as I have no air conditioning, my home is shut up tight
to keep the moist and hot temperature out yet I did open them up
and one little bird accommodated me. I have no idea what kind of bird
but he sang his heart out for almost a half hour. I am indeed
grateful.

Can you tell I am feeling melancholy? It is OK to feel what we
feel when we feel it. That is the difference between Spirit and
human, humans feel many different emotions and all of them are valid.
Our souls wanted to come to earth for that very reason and there
are still many souls waiting to become human so they can experience
everything including sadness or melancholy. We are not humans having
a Spiritual Experience; we are Spirits having a human experience.
Let us appreciate all that it entails because when we leave our
earthly existence, we will no longer have the duality of the earthly
experience nor will we have feelings. E-motion is simply energy
in motion. Consider this: move the last letter of EARTH to be the
first letter of the word and what do you have? EARTH – HEART
The very same letters and where do your feelings or e-motions come
from? Your heart of course and earth is the beloved planet where
we get to “FEEL”.

This daily inspiration is from a very dear friend of mine, Cathy
Olsen, who is a marvelous photographer and personally writes the
words you see below and sends a beautiful picture that she took
and which corresponds to the words. Maybe I have it backwards, I
believe she writes the words that she “feels” goes with each
picture she takes. I wish I could send you the picture but I still
have not discovered how to “forward” the pictures. If this
inspires you, perhaps is you emailed her at [email protected].
she would add you to her email list.

Call in the vision of what you wish to create in this moment
against the blank canvas that is provided for you
focus
add rich color
contrast
light
and the element of love that lives in your heart
You are the creator
Walk in gratitude for that which you have created
and be at peace

Isn’t that beautiful and wonderful words to ponder.

I was sent this following email by another good friend and I
want to share this child prodigy with you. I never thought
it was possible to paint pictures like these.
This is just too beautiful to describe…………………..

The Video at the end of the little girl’s website is beautiful and
amazing.

This artist is lovely and her work is gorgeously spiritual.

Don’t skip the video at the end… it really is a “must see”.!

Nothing I could add would increase the joy and wonder you must be
feeling right now. ENJOY the feeling!

GRASSHOPPERS & ILLUSION MADE MANIFEST

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Labor Day!!! Does it feel like fall to you? We have had
several nights now in the 50’s which is so good for sleeping. And…
the kids are going back to school so I guess it is time to rev up
our engine and get busy. This summer I found myself not “wanting”
to do anything. Whether it was the heat or just my body taking a
prolonged rest, I am not sure. I so enjoy the heat except it makes
it feel so much colder when you go in any of the buildings that house
grocery stores, doctors, hardware or clothing. I thought we were
supposed to conserve energy, it certainly does not feel that the
companies are conserving.

Have you ever had something happen to you that you would have thought
was impossible? Were you grateful that you had a “witness” so others
would not think you were crazy? Now, I believe that there is a reason
for everything that happens even when we can’t find a reason for it.
You might find out the reason years later, they are part of AHA moments.

I know that all things are connected, not just living things but even
rocks which appear not to have life but they actually do, they are
formed from living organisms. Everything on earth has a vibration
and frequency. Some things like rocks just vibrate at a much slower
speed and some like the hummingbird have a very high vibration and
frequency. Have you ever felt the energy of a crystal?

For years now, I try to be aware of what is happening around me and
to me. I have a special bond with ALL animals as I know they allow
themselves to be used as messengers for us. Have you ever had the
experience of an animal or insect suddenly appearing out of their
normal context? Whether that is out of their “season” or their
normal habitat? Has an animal suddenly crossed in front of your car?
Or you notice a bird flying that you never noticed before?

There is a fence that separates the Lakeland Beach from my yard.
When I came to my home here for the first time with a realtor, a
Great blue Heron met us at the gate between the beach and my yard.
Now, they never walk across a beach as they only walk at the water’s
edge. I KNEW that was sign to me that this was to be my home. Has
anything like that ever happened to you?

Last Sunday, I watered my plants outside before leaving to go to
a Meet-Up with other spiritually minded people. I felt something
bite me on my left buttocks but could not find anything. I came in
the house and took off my pants and checked them but again nothing.
I didn’t pay any more attention and when my friend came, we took off
with me driving the hour long trip.

While we were in the circle and listening to the presenter, I felt a
bite on my right buttocks so I put my hand there. It felt like a
round scaly thing like something had dried on my pants? But…it
was not on the outside of my pants and since I did not want to
disturb the speaker, I just got up and shook my leg and my pants with
my hand hoping something would fall out of the leg. No activity.

When the break came, I went to the ladies room so I could check. I
took off my outer pants and there was nothing there. I took off my
underpants and nearly fainted in shock. There was a GRASSHOPPER
attached to them. I was in shock and my mind would not work as to
what to do now. I noticed some feet in the next stall so I asked
the person who she was. It turned out to be the assistant to the
presenter so I opened the stall door a little and showed her my
underpants with the grasshopper attached.

I did not want to kill it so I asked her if she would shake them
out of the window but I think she was scared of the grasshopper
so she suggested that I flick it off and leave it in the bathroom.
Since I still could not think, I flicked it and it hopped onto the
floor and under the sink. I then got dressed and joined the group
who had been told of my “episode”. They were all as shocked as I was
except we were all giggling. HOW did it get there, everyone wanted
to know. It must have done quite a large leap up my pant legs when
I was watering the outside plants. How else could it have gotten
there?

My shock was that it had survived my sitting in the car for an hour
and then my squishing it when I felt the bite. Why did it not
shake out? It must have attached itself to the cotton in my underwear.
I never knew that grasshoppers bite, I used to catch them all the time
when I was a child. I could find no bite marks but had two small round
black marks on my white jeans. They must have been caused by some
secretion that came from him? Also, since I “felt” the bite on both
sides of my body, left being female and right being male, I knew
that my Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine are now balanced. What
a gift that was and what a way to receive the message.

ie, I asked Jesus why I received the message in that manner and he
simply said that I was not listening to my guidance so it came
through in a way that I would pay attention to. What a gift!!!

Pay attention to that still small voice which is your guidance.

By the way, as I was leaving the meeting, I took a cup and caught
the grasshopper. I let it go outside and was teased about having
the grasshopper crossing state lines as I live in Massachusetts but
was leaving it in Connecticut.

I have an Animal-Speak book by Ted Andrews which is a Comprehensive
Dictionary of Animal, Bird,& Reptile Symbolism. I checked it when
I got home even though I knew that Grasshoppers symbolize leaping
forward. The key note is: Uncanny Leaps Forward. I will accept that
gift.

Some interpretations are: Grasshoppers have a knack for being
in the warmth and light and knowing when to make their leaps. Trust
your own instincts and rhythms. Listen to your own inner voice to
know when to make your moves in any area of your life. Sometimes
grasshopper can show up if we are not listening or if we are afraid
to make the leap off our mound. Many times Grasshopper people have
to learn to make new leaps. Life only becomes difficult when they
refuse to move.

Has a grasshopper shown up in your life?

When the Great blue Heron showed up, I checked the book also. It’s
Keynote is: Aggressive Self-Determination and Self-Reliance. It
reflects an aggressive movement toward opportunities that present
themselves. I KNEW without looking at the book that it was definitely
a sign from God that this is where I supposed to live. I still
checked the book though as it is fun to get confirmation.

Miracles are only illusion made manifest. Here is something
that we would have thought was a miracle except we have concrete
proof that is created by the earth and the minds of a creator.

This shows amazing creativity, but is also a strong
indication of the competition the Western world can
expect from China and other developing countries
in the decades ahead.
