FREEDOM IN ALL WAYS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I bet the makers of grape jelly experience this time of year as a “rush time”.  I love the Baltimore Orioles so I place two separate feeders out for them, one on each side of the house so I can watch them better.  They are here for such a short time.  When I first started to feed them, they came for the grape jelly even after their babies were born.  But the last two years they were feeding for only a couple weeks and then disappeared.  This year, I have an abundance of them and am hoping they stay longer so that I get to see and feed their babies.

The catbird is a frequent visitor at my feeders for the grape jelly also but this year I have another additional feeder.  The squirrel.  At first it would land full body on the feeder but after losing some fur to the stickiness that is on the hanger of the feeder, it just picks one of the closest of the four holders on the feeder and picks up a blob of jelly and sits back and enjoys it. So now, I don’t refill that holder after it is empty and fill the other three.  This year has a bounty of birds and squirrels but I have only seen one bunny. ???? I don’t need to feed the bunnies which are a blessing as I can just enjoy watching them.  I am going through a large jar of grape jelly a day with usually three fillings a day as the birds seem so ravenous.  The jelly companies must be prepared for this “rush” as it happens every year.

Have you ever imagined being hugged  by a turkey?  I did not think it was possible?

This article opened my eyes to a new interpretation of what is happening with Russia interference. It is apparently the way that they manage in a world that has more physical power than they.  It is very interesting even if you don’t agree.  Knowledge is power.

What a wonderful discovery.  I believe that humanity would do well to research what our ancestors knew all along. There is so much wisdom  in the simplicity of our past. I guess the concern of many woman who are not able to conceive or humanity vanishing has now been answered.

I was guided to open this talk and marveled at the wisdom of Nora Herold, Amplify your joy is the title but it is so much more.  It will answer a lot of your questions, even those questions you were not aware of.

Would you like to see your picture?

Enjoy and celebrate Memorial Day. I am grateful for all of the freedoms I enjoy in this country.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Welcome to SUMMER.  It is a bit early for over 90 degree weather but after all the rainy and cloudy days, it feels good to just see the sun come out.  Yesterday there were people swimming and the boats came out so it “feels” like summer.  The sun brought out so many smiles from people sharing their freedom with you as they went about their day. People felt good to finally be able to wear short sleeves, shorts and even bathing suits.  I have not been kayaking as the wind has been playing around a lot more than normal.  I know I have the full season ahead of me yet so it is not disheartening. I so enjoy watching others enjoying the lake with all of its offerings.

What is the chance that this would happen just when it did?  I believe that these things happen and if we just take a moment to breathe, we will see. Only one person took this picture but the loving energy was shared by all who were there.  By sharing this picture, it gives all of us hope in the physical manifestation and the encouragement that we are loved even as we pass from this life. There is nothing to fear and this is proof.

Another manifestation that we find hard to believe could happen.  Yet we can see with our own eyes that miracles do exist.  Hooray.

A miracle for people who have Parkinson’s Disease.  What possibilities are even possible with this invention?

Have you ever wondered or questioned what the circumstances of your life mean?  I know I have and many times, the future shows what the past events meant and sometimes, I never find out. Multiply one synchronicity by billions of people and it boggles the mind to even try to conceive how preconceived ideas are manipulated and rearranged to bring certain events to fruition.  I kind of chuckle to myself as I imagine all the angels above moving all of us around, sometimes by just a second, to have a chance meeting or a specific  result for us humans.  I surely do not want that job. Check this story our by Eckhart Tolle and his mom.

Matt Kahn, the Ego and Karma. For me, this is another AHA moment with a perspective that I never even considered.  The Karmic return.

MOTHERS AND NATURE

Beloved.

I have been trying to meditate but all I “see” are these larvae of the gypsy moths. I am sitting here waiting to be inspired so that I may inspire you but all that seems to come through is my concern about this problem and my need to solve it. Sooo, I am surrendering to my concern but I will share with you my journey with these veracious eaters of our trees.

The birds and squirrels seem hungrier than usual and there are more of each species. There are so many in fact, that my hummingbirds hardly come to their feeders because with so much activity, they are having a hard time not being hit by them.  The squirrels this year are the worst as they are landing on the Oriole Feeders and consuming all the grape jelly.  I saw one squirrel hugging my bird feeder but then noticed that it was eating and chomping. I went out and discovered that the varmint had chewed a hole through the long clear plastic tube that holds the seeds.  It is supposed to be squirrel proof and I have had one like it for 10 years and this never happened.  It is not cheap as it is $70 -$80 and I see no way to fix it.  I will take it to the Bird Store and bird people to see what can be done but I don’t hold out much hope.

I got up this morning to discover the Oriole feeder on the ground and I could not see the hook on the tree that it was hanging from. I went out and discovered that the squirrel had landed on the feeder and when it jumped off it sent the feeder careening off and the other end of the hook was hooked onto another branch.  Part of the feeder, a seating place, had been broken off. I am seriously considering trapping these squirrels and bring them for a ride to another place with trees far enough away that they cannot find their way home.  I don’t want to do this but I see no way of stopping all four of them.

Anyway, back to the larvae.  I place the Oriole feeders on the railing of my deck to fill it with grape jelly.  I noticed so many small black things which I thought to be small ants.  I made a decision to wash it down since I must have gotten some jelly on it that was attracting the ants.  I took another look and then came into the house to get my reading glasses.  They were not ants but very small caterpillars that were the size of ants.  Oh boy, what to do now.  They were all over the railing, climbing up my house and also the garage.  I made up a concoction and sprayed it on them and I hope the Northeaster we are expecting this weekend will wash them all away as the concoction did its work. I don’t dare put that concoction on my tree because I don’t know if it will harm it or not.

I played cards at the Senior Center last night and spoke to others about my dilemma and they gave me ideas that I hope to implement to keep these critters from getting bigger and defoliating my tree. AS soon as I send this newsletter off to you, I need to get on the phone and call around to see where I can find the equipment and goo that hopefully will be the solution. My heart is heavy as I do not like to harm anything even if it is an ant or spider.  I feel that I did not have a choice in this matter but it doesn’t make me feel any better about doing what I have to do.  No wonder I cannot meditate or connect to Spirit right now as I usually do.

Lee Harris’ message comes at just the right time.  It speaks to me and to you.  Listen.

Esther Hicks makes me laugh at my problems and also my reasoning.  She amazes me, astounds me and brings levity to whatever is heavy on my heart.  I would love to be able to reason like she does.  Of course, I realize that she also has contact with Abraham and that makes me chuckle at myself again.  You and I have just as much info waiting for us when we connect to the Divine.  Sometimes, I just can’t seem to get there so just listening to her makes me feel lighter.

I won’t be attending this year’s Natural Living Expo as an exhibitor but I am planning to attend as an attendee.  I thought you might enjoy an early peek into what is in the works for us.  I hope to see you there.

Can you believe that Pope Francis was on the TED show?  This Pope is truly the Pope for all humanity.  Instead of enjoying his pomp and circumstance, he insists on being treated like a regular person, just like you.  Yet, he spends so much of his time traveling and “being” with all of humanity with his love and tenderness.  He is such an example of Jesus who spent most of his time with the everyday person instead of with the rulers of his day. I have hope that his message of love is heard by you and me.

Please forgive me for dabbling in the past but this story touched my heart and brought back so many memories.  My mom also had dementia and I bought her a robotic orange tabby cat just like the last live cat she ever had which she had named Trouble.  In her mind, this fake cat was her “Trouble” and she would go nowhere without it.  She brought him to the cafeteria so he would have lunch with her and the others.  He ended up with quite a dirty mouth because she kept feeding him.  He went with her to the hospital also, he kept her calm.  This “cat” made a lot of seniors happy and the staff enjoyed him also.  Eventually, I had to buy her another one because the fur was rubbed off her first one and I just could not wash his face any longer.  If you have a beloved in a nursing facility, consider getting one of these “human made pets”.

Sunday is Mother’s Day, honor your mother.  It takes so little to make her happy and it makes you happy also.  I want all of you mothers to honor yourself and allow yourself to be pampered today and if you are alone, pamper yourself with whatever makes you happy.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY    BLESSINGS TO ALL MOTHERS

Love and Light
