DOES AGE MATTER?

Beloved,

I celebrated my 80th birthday this past week.  Age has never meant much to me and I am truthful when asked my age but I had an AHA moment when I received a birthday card from a friend.  IT HAD A HUGE 80 RIGHT ON THE FRONT. When I read that, my immediate reaction was: “I am not that old, I do not feel that old, how can I be that old.”  Until I was faced with that fact in black and white, I had been in neutral.  See how much power the printed word or numbers have.  I was immediately sent back to my beliefs about being 80.  When do we make these beliefs in our minds?  Usually when we are children and to a child, 80 in soooo old.  Then we see our parents and grandparents age and the deep impression of what “old” is implanted in our brains. In our young minds, we will never get “that” old and we don’t worry about it because we are taking our youth for granted.

I have never had a birthday party so I decided I would throw one for myself with my immediate family.  I thought about having it catered but then my son reminded me of all the clean-up I would need to do afterwards. I decided to go to my favorite restaurant, Diane’s Villa Nova in Holland, Ma.  It is an Italian family run restaurant whose chef is very familiar with cooking Gluten Free meals as he needs to be gluten free also. I need to be GF and I have children, grandchildren and a great grandson who also need to be gluten free. Yet, all the “regular “eaters were captivated with their food also. I used my age as a good reason for us all to get together as it had been 15 years since we had all been together at the same time.

Diane had bought me a beautiful floral arrangement for our table and my granddaughter had brought me orchids.  The table was so full with us that we needed to put the flowers aside but they were beautiful. I even got serenaded by my family and a team of young basketball players who were having a party of their own.  My kids surprised me by hiring a friend of my granddaughter’s to take pictures of the occasion.  That was the best gift they could have given me as we are all going to receive a CD and we can have any or all of them printed out. I don’t have the CD yet but I am eager to see what it will show.  I really want a picture of all of us together that I can put up on the wall.

Why do so many of us humans put off getting together with our families except maybe for the holidays?  Is it because when we get together, there is still the competition, rivalry and jealousy that we felt as a child?  Let me tell you that when you get to my age, there is none of that. What is left is the joy in seeing yourself in the different ages that sit at your table and you remember just what it felt like when you were young and at that stage of life. No matter what drama is playing out, the feelings are still the same as when you were young. No matter what you think about the “times” we are in, so much remains the same.

Your reality changes as your age changes. Age is when you realize that all in the past was as it was meant to be in order to get the wisdom that you have today.  Check out this wisdom: Control Your Reality by Esther (Abraham) Hicks.

Times are a-changing and with that, new developments are being made. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are right at the forefront of most symptoms of aging. My aunt and my mom had dementia and so I have personal experience of that torment but guess what?  A cure is on its way and this is just the beginning.  Hope is right here and  changes  are right around the corner.

With the Olympics hoopla going on, there is so much proof that age is not a factor.  A mom won a gold medal, how about that for change. I am so proud and full of hope for humanity when I see what the younger ones are doing. Here is proof again of what the younger generation is bringing to the whole planet.  Check this out and smile as these young ones bring so much joy and hope.

I just had to send this to you.  Notice the expression on the little critter’s face. It took a big, tough cop to bring compassion and laughter to thissituation.


Love and Light

REALITY OR VIRTUAL REALITY

Beloved,

How has your week been?   How are you feeling today?  This has been quite a busy week what with the Partial solar eclipse and the new moon yesterday. I am hearing from everyone that it was an emotional time for all of us. In fact, it seems that is what everyone is talking about.  Here are a couple of explanations from those who are quite sensitive to the energies.

What with the latest school shooting in Florida right in the middle of the week. That brings up a lot to think about.  For quite some time now, I have been thinking about how our brain is affected by the computer.  Our children play these video games where they can shoot a supposed enemy so they can win the game. Of course, the deceased enemy just rises up and there is no finality.  Our children are being programmed that shooting a gun or whatever weapon you choose, has no consequences, only rewards. No one really gets killed; we just play another game so we can “win”. It is bad enough with all the wars on this planet and real live people are dying but our kids cannot relate to the reality of that unless it is the death of their loved ones.

I remember the day my granddaughter’s other grandmother showed up at her house as a surprise. My granddaughter was only 3 years old and had been communicating with her grandmother for two years over skype with an occasional visit in person. The child smiled at her grandmother but did not run into her arms.  The woman was shocked and saddened at the reception she was getting from the little girl.  I finally told the grandmother that her granddaughter did not know she was real, she thought she was seeing her grandmother on skype, not in person. She did not know she could actually touch her. The mind can be trained and reality can be changed. I wonder if the school shooter actually recognizes that lives were lost and they won’t pop back up again like his brain was programmed to think would happen.

The cell phones are programming our human minds. We are being hypnotized by all these ads and events which just play with reality in such a way that we don’t know what is real and what is not.  Cell phones are a great tool but that is all they are. Our human brains are giving over all our free choice to Artificial Intelligence because they are being programmed by Virtual Reality. We are not aware of this, we are just happy to have a robot or phones make our decisions for us. The following is food for thought.

OOOOOH!  The energy is so heavy; I think I would like to bring some lightness back into this newsletter. We had a beautiful day this week on Wednesday, St. Valentine’s Day which also was Ash Wednesday. I wish I knew how to send you the picture my friend sent me because it was so appropriate.  There is a cross made out of black ashes and across the cross are the words LOVE in red.  It just seems appropriate as a reminder that although ashes appear when something dies, LOVE will keep the sacrifice alive and meaningful.

Here is another example of life after death.  They are a walking example of the  LOVE  that is on Earth regardless of what life appears to hand you in this moment.

Ready for a smile?  This is a reminder that although I am not crazy about snow, there are other beings that thoroughly enjoy it. I would like to stay youthful just for the freedom and pleasure in immersing myself in something I know nothing about. Are you ready to roll around in freedom?

TIMELINES & VALENTINE’S DAY

Beloved,

This week has been quite a confusing one for me and yet I received clarity when I was not expecting it. The weather has been sort of severe also but my confusion started before the storms came.  It started Monday night as I had a real restless sleep, had to get up to put extra blanket on my bed, and then slept later than I had intended.  I got up and even dressed in my nice clothes rather than my grubbies that I hang around in if I am not going anywhere. My son called me and we had a nice chat.  Then….I could not figure out why I was dressed nicely as I could not remember any appointment or place I needed to be. I remembered that I was going to go grocery shopping before I went somewhere to avoid the storm that was coming but I could not get my bearings.  I attributed it to the fact that I would be playing cards at the Senior Center the next day and that I had my days confused.  Oh Well!

I then received another phone call and while on that call, another call came in and it was the Senior Center.  When I got off the first call, I was really confused as it was not tomorrow yet so why the call?  I called the Center to discover that I had an appointment to have a massage that morning and I was already late so they were checking on me.  I felt so humiliated and upset that I HAD known all of that but my mind had just made such an about turn that morning that I was completely confused. I could not possibly get to the Senior Center in time as it was only a 20 minute appointment so I told the person to tell the massage therapist that I would still pay for the missed appointment when I see her in two weeks.  It is a treat that I allow myself to have a massage twice a month for 20 minutes each.  I felt so bad that not only did I miss something I looked forward to and enjoyed so much but that other people could have used that time with the therapist. I was embarrassed about my memory loss and also was in deep fear as it was a vivid reminder of my mom and her dementia. Was I getting senile too???

Of course, I know that fear only creates more fear which will only create what you are afraid of.  We are creators, after all. My mind was in turmoil and I just could not focus on anything as well as being kind of in a fog. Reality was having a hard time anchoring in my present time mind. I decided to scout around on the computer to some of my favorite talk show hosts and opted to see what Beyond the Ordinary Show with John Burgos had to offer.  I tuned in to Sandra Walter and her topic Acceleration of Unity Consciousness.  To my utter surprise and delight, she had quite a gift for me.  I had found the answer to my memory loss and confusion. It is called changing the time lines. It seems we have moved into the 5th dimension which I already knew, but she explained that we do this periodically until we are completely settled in to the higher dimensions.  I am not getting dementia; I had simply stepped into another time line.  Since I cannot pretend to explain it although my heart understands it, I will give you the link so you can listen to it yourself.

On this same link is the opportunity to access Meg Benedicte’s talk on Soul Embodiment which will expand on this even further.  I cannot tell you how relieved I am and I am eager to learn more about this new awakening. I am turning 80 this month so I take my mind lapses even more seriously.  In fact, I have never had a birthday party so I am giving myself an 80th one with my WHOLE family attending this Sunday. I am so looking forward to being with my children, grandchildren and great grandson as well as their significant others. At this age, time is the best gift you can receive from those you love.  And… there will be pictures for me to be able to remember and perhaps notice parts of what went on when I was looking elsewhere.

By the way, to spur your eagerness for Spring to get here, I saw a Robin two days ago.  I have a sump pump that removes the water from my crawl space and it created a hole in the grass which has become the bird’s birdbath and it was drinking the water.  My golden finch males are starting to return to their normal gold color also, this they do in the Spring.  I think these are better indicators that the groundhog.  I am laughing as I sit in the sun and look out my window, I am surrounded by ice and ice covered snow. This winter has been one for the books.  This last storm had snow, then freezing rain then snow again.  I did not try to shovel it before the freezing rain and it is usually easier to remove if you wait.  This time it did not work. The freezing rain did not sit on top of the snow; it enveloped the snow and made ice which was thicker than regular ice. My driveway is covered in ice that is too thick to chop. Yesterday I was out there with hot water making the thick ice a little more willing to crack under the ice chopper.  I have to give credit where it is due and the sun was the most important ingredient in all of this.  I now have a clear stoop, sidewalk and path to the garage so I can at least get in the car and drive over the ice covered driveway without falling. Before you feel too sad for me, we will be having 2 days of rain soon and that should take care of that thick ice.

Just in case, you might want to save this to look at when you are sweltering in the hot sun.  It is quite an experience to see from the front of the train.

The flu has been hitting humanity quite hard this winter.  Here is an explanation of why this is happening and what to do about it.
