YOUR LOVING ENERGY IS NEEDED

Posted on by

Beloved,

Today is May 1st and the flowers are beginning to appear. They so enlighten the atmosphere and bring us joy and promise of a friendlier climate. My grass is green now but there are bare spots where the piles of snow were. So yesterday I put grass seed down as today we are scheduled for rain. My heart goes out to beautiful California with its drought and no relief in sight. Predictions abound about the weather changes and have been around for quite a while but the changes seem to be happening quicker than ever. I, for one, do not seem to have the ability to change on a dime and that appears to be what is needed these days. There are many opportunities that come my way to practice being more in the present and let the future be whatever it is choosing to be. Can I blame my age for preferring to stay with the status quo? It is so much easier than having to make so many quick decisions. Even with the energy companies, I have had four proposals which all have changed in two days…not counting the opportunity for solar energy which could not offer me a substantial savings. I guess I am from the old school where even energy companies received respect and loyalty.

Nowadays, you just make a call and your energy company is switched. Last fall, my energy company doubled their price and although we had heard rumors, none of us believed they would actually do it. Well, they did and I felt deceived. How could I be loyal to them? It took two months to get changed to a new company. Although I have been calling to see what the new rate would be (it changes every 6 months) they could not tell me so I signed up again for six months with the present company. I found out yesterday that my original supplier is cheaper than the one I switched to so I transferred again back to my original supplier. Hopefully they will not double again this fall because if they do, I will transfer permanently. When I called to cancel my present supplier, I was told: “Oh, we have a new lower price”, which I was not told about when I again contracted with them two weeks ago. If I had not called to cancel with them. I would not have known about the new lower price. Although they were a little lower in price, I felt that they had not been honest with me so I cancelled anyway. “Buyer Beware “seems to be so prevalent these days giving us many opportunities to change our minds. I am so glad that my car mechanic who I have had for 25 years is still very dependable and honest. In fact, he does not take credit cards, only checks or cash and he has a booming business because of his honesty and integrity. Then I received another call today that a certain supplier was even lower than my original one. I am tired of switching back and forth, having to make decisions over and over again. My human brain is tired from all this exercise and I prefer to spend my time enjoying this life. Do you think it has anything to do with all the energy of the sun and the stars and also with these new times? I think so. Here is an article that explains it much better than I can.

I have been out in my kayak twice now and it is only the beginning. There are a few boats out there but more will be out in the future. Each month changes the lake. Right now, I can kayak out to all the edges of the lake as the water lilies are still dormant. When they are out, there are places that are too thick with them, although beautiful, make going through them quite a chore. Now, I can see the homes without all their summer toys out and it is much quieter. I enjoy all the differences because they all change back again. Kayaking is quite a metaphor to enjoy the present because it too will change.

My first hummingbird made his appearance a few days and I am now eagerly awaiting the Baltimore Orioles. The feeders are out but only half of them. When they, hummingbirds and orioles, are here in full force, I have feeders on both sides of my house. I believe I have a new visitor which I have never seen but his antics have led me to believe who it is. I have a huge feeder which suddenly was on the ground and along my fence one morning. The hook that I hang it on was down below the tree. My first thought was that it was a bear but another thistle feeder was still on the tree and a bear would have crushed my feeder. ???? I hung it back up and two mornings later it was back down again. I filled it to the brim thinking that perhaps the weight would keep whatever was taking it off would find it too heavy to lift. Two days later, it was down again. ????? Was some teenager having fun with me? So, I went to my local bird store and asked them what they thought it might be. They are positive it is a raccoon which is a nocturnal animal. It seems there mode of operation is to lift the hook from the tree, shake it and the feeder falls off, giving them access to the food. They suggested using an eye hook to screw into the tree and then use a gadget that holds keys that enables me to hang it up on this gadget. Each night I would take the feeder in at dusk and then put it out in the morning until my son could come and install it for me. Problem solved, it has been a week and the feeder has not come down. Life certainly gives us many opportunities to learn new things and depend on the abilities of others to help us. We are so fortunate to have each other.

Cathy Olsen sends out daily inspirational pictures that are awe inspiring. The one today was an angel in a garden and the caption was “YOU ARE PRECIOUS”. I tried to copy it so I could show it to you but no matter what I did, it would not print on the email. I need a course in how to work these things on the computer. She takes these pictures herself and I marvel at what she is able to capture. She has a way to see things in a different light. She is a new entrepreneur and just in time for Mother’s Day. If you need to inspire a MOM, take a look.

MOOD LIFTERS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I don’t know about you but I could use a laugh about now. At least a chuckle or a grin. So I am going to do something different and put the light hearted news at the beginning. I hope you enjoy these. Out of the mouths of babes.

A little boy was attending his first wedding.
After the service, his cousin asked him,
“How many women can a man marry?”
“Sixteen,” the boy responded.
His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly.
“How do you know that?”
“Easy,” the little boy said.
“All you have to do is add it up, like the pastor said,
4 better, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer.”

After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother,
“Mom, I’ve decided to become a minister when I grow up.”
“That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?”
“Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway,
And I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.”

A 6-year-old was overheard reciting the Lord’s Prayer at a church service,
“And forgive us our trash passes, as we forgive those who passed trash against us.”

A boy was watching his father, a pastor, write a sermon.
“How do you know what to say?” he asked.
“Why, God tells me.”
“Oh, then why do you keep crossing things out?”

A little girl became restless as the preacher’s sermon dragged on and on.
Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered,
“Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?”

Ms. Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories.
She was puzzled by Kyle’s picture, which showed four people on an airplane.
She asked him which story it was meant to represent.
“The Flight to Egypt,” was his reply.
Pointing at each figure, Ms. Terri said,
“That must be Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus.
But who’s the fourth person?”
“Oh, that’s Pontius – the pilot!”

The Sunday School Teacher asks,
“Now, Johnny, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?”
“No ma’am,” little Johnny replies, I don’t have to.
My mom is a good cook.”

This is the best one.

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather’s lap as he read her a bedtime story.
From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek.
She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.
Finally she spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”
“Oh,” she paused, “Grandpa, did God make me too?”
“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago.”
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed,
“God’s getting better at it, isn’t he?”

Here is a video of the inner workings of the elephant who never forgets. It is amazing just how we can actually see and feel the emotions between the two.

Are you smiling yet? I know it lifted my mood so I can share some caring and loving energy with you. Children are my favorite mood lifters but so are people who are so creative when something is so obvious to them. I hope you pass this along as there are many people in this world who would love to know about this clothing and the peace that it brings to the whole family.

It seems all I hear on the news is about how the police are such brutes and so uncaring. I know there are always some like that but most of them deserve our thanks and appreciation for all the unknown good that they do for us with no expectation of reward.

While we are in a trend of enjoying and learning from children, I want to share this from Neale Donald Walsch.

I have been preparing all week for this weekend. Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be offering my book, The Wounded Chalice in all forms at the Catholic Women’s Conference. It is a book that inspires women to honor themselves and their bodies. Without women there would be no future human race. That is how important you are to the whole world. It is also an autobiography of the many ways we women are challenged and some tips on how to be a winner in the game of life. It is a book from a mother to all the mothers especially on Mother’s Day which is coming up quite soon. Do you need a gift for your mom that she will absolutely love? Let me know.

Sunday I will have a booth as the Natural Life Celebration at the Hope Artiste Village in Pawtucket, RI. It celebrates healthy living on a healthy planet. I will be offering Mystic Readings with Reiki and also my book and CD’s will be available. Hope to see you again and give you a hug.

I am now on my way to set up for the conference tomorrow, so I’ll close for now and I hope you got to smile at least once.

Love and Light

POOR IN SPIRIT / HIGH ON LIFE

Posted on by

Beloved,

I realize I am sending this newsletter out a little later than normal. I spoke of getting a motorized scooter last week and it was delivered last night. My son came over this morning to put it together for me and then wanted to take me out for brunch and then to give me the chance to try my new skills at putting it together and taking it apart so it goes into my car. It is hard to practice in the house so we went to a store where I could drive it and get more comfortable with it. Watch out world, here I come!

When I had surgery on my knee, I had to use the motorized chairs in the stores and they overwhelmed. I could not figure out why but my sense of vision was distorted as I was seeing everything at a different angle. I was scared I would run into people so I was not in the least comfortable using it. When I tried this “Hero” scooter from Walgreens today, I felt a lot more comfortable. It is a lot smaller and maneuvers easily and brakes automatically when you take your finger off the motion control(lever). I did not get such a distorted vison of my surroundings. I felt in control of it more. I also learned to be slow at the end of aisles as I could not see over anything because of sitting down lower and could not see if someone was coming. It actually was easy to go around the corners and I felt quite comfortable. One thing I need to figure out is how to have a large enough basket to put my purchases in. I am sure there is a way that someone has figured out for that concern. Do you know anyone who has? Please let me know.

This weather is such a boon. WE ARE FINALLY OUT OF HIBERNATION! The flowers are coming up and the sun is hanging around a lot longer at night. Of course, we are outside cleaning up from winter so everything can wake up. Well, these little critters are waking up also. The following is a natural way to protect yourselves and your animals against these ticks.

Its an epidemic this year, and these things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong senerio!… Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!

It’s summer! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don’t let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Here’s how with a simple homemade solution!

Repellent for your pets:
For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).
To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet’s dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

For you and your family:
In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.
Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.
After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.

It certainly has been an exciting week for me although the ups and downs are still occurring. I am more comfortable with whatever happens and do not “fret” as much. I came across this explanation for Peace of Mind from Eckhart Tolle and it makes a lot of sense. I know I have been certainly focusing a lot more about “being in the present”. “Poor in spirit?” Eckhart Tolle

The energy is doing its up and down thing too so it is not surprise that we are all feeling it. There is a new moon tomorrow and a new moon is a perfect time to set your intention, whatever it might be.
