WHAT IS YOUR MOMENT?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Although some of the nights are below freezing, there is Spring in the air. WE had buds on the trees but they needed to retreat yet they are back. The weather men are predicting 70 degrees for this weekend. My grandson Michael came over yesterday to do spring work that I can’t. He did the raking where the leaves accumulated over the winter even though the leaves were picked up last fall. He put the boarded sidewalk in between the garage and house so I can now walk barefoot from front to back. He helped create a space for my scooter in the garage where it will be protected yet accessible should I need it. I now have my trunk in my car back for carrying other things. But most of all, he rescued my kayak from its storage next to the garage and it is now on the beach just waiting for me to begin the kayaking season again. I am so looking forward to it.

This morning I saw a solitary bird out on the water and as I was looking through my binoculars, I realized it was a duck that I had never seen before. He turned out to be a Grebe with a white section on his bill and he is also a diver. Every now and then, I see a solitary duck on the lake and it is as if they come to remind me that being alone is not all that bad. I mentally or sometimes talk out loud with them, thanking them for coming to see me. These messengers remind me that life is the same for all living beings. There are times of community and then there are times of being alone. Neither is good or bad, it just is. They are another reminder to me to be in the moment as this moment will not come again.

I love the Animal Speak book by Ted Andrews because it gives keynotes and a deeper aspect of what the animals are trying to tell you. When an animal shows up out of place or one that I have never seen, I know there is a message for me. I am going to share it with you as I know you may see a duck in your future and you will know what it is trying to tell you. The Keynote is: Emotional Comfort and Protection. Because of its connection to water, it is linked to the feminine energies, the astral plane and to the emotional state of humans. The duck is the most common waterfowl and water is necessary for all life on earth. Nothing can live without it. Ducks remind us to drink of the waters of life as well as to nurture our own emotional natures. Ducks may reflect a need to find comfort in your own element and with those of life mind and spirit. All ducks have a grace upon water, and they can help you to handle your own emotions with greater grace and comfort. They serve to teach you how to maneuver through various waters of life.

This confused but intrigued me. Read to the end.

Featured Teaching
The Blossoming of Acceptance
by Matt Kahn

It’s okay to feel angry, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel sad, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel fearful, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel confused, even if it’s not okay with you.

It’s okay to feel desperate, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel compulsive, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel heartbroken, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel jealous, even if it’s not okay with you.

It’s okay to feel judgmental, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel misunderstood, even when it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel uninspired, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel ashamed, even if it’s not okay with you.

It’s okay to feel denied, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel empty, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel left out, even if it’s not okay with you.
It’s okay to feel hopeless, even if it’s not okay with you.

No matter how you feel, you deserve more love, not less. When love is not a feeling to chase or hold in place, but the compassionate support that befriends each emotion and embraces how you feel, you are able to find the companionship you desire without abandoning yourself in the process.

In every breath, you deserve more love, not less. This is how acceptance blossoms for the well-being of all. It is the way of heart-centered consciousness.

I wish we could have this judge in every city or town in the USA. I know a video of her would not have the impact she has in person but maybe she could be an example to others of what can be done so they can do it.

How would you respond if you were in this subway? It was fun watching the faces of the people.

I am sure not only was this young boy affected but all the kids that were invited and did not show. Things like this go viral and are the greatest teaching tools we can give to our young generation. An event like this is what I wish our media would show rather than all the attention going to the ones that screw up. More kids need to know that it is OK to be nice.

I cannot look this animal up because it is too rare to be in Animal Speak. I wonder how many other species there are that I don’t know about. Doesn’t Earth offer us so much variety?

APRIL FOOL ON ME

Posted on by

Beloved,

I apologize for the delay, computer connection issues. This is the third time in two weeks so I guess my energy is quite high right now and messing with communication.

Happy April Fool’s Day. Has anyone played any tricks on you today? My internet connection is having fun with me by being available one minute and not available the next. Do you think it is having fun with me?

It feels good to know we are finally in April even if it is coming in with a bang. March went out like a lamb and we even hit over 70 degrees yesterday even with the famous March winds. Winter is feeling left out though so it is going to come back for a few days. I know the Turkey buzzards are here doing their spring cleanup. What would our world look like without them cleaning up everything that did not make it through the winter? I was surprised this year as they are quite visible in So Carolina so I never had the opportunity to miss them. Here in the Northeast, they are the first of the birds to come back. Some of my neighbors said they never left this winter so it definitely was a winner of a winter. I am told the Canadian geese never left either, there were 17 of them on my beach today.

I am eager to get out on my kayak but it is still next to my garage in storage. One of my sons is going to come and bring it down to the beach for me so I can go out for a kayak ride. Of course, it is spring and the rains have come and we have water everywhere in puddles causing the famous spring muds. Having a dirt road we are more aware of the puddles which form because it takes a lot longer for them to dry out. The trees are starting to bud so it will not take long for the spring flowers to be in bloom everywhere.

I feel more quiet than usual. I am listening to a lot of talks being given by the leaders in the spiritual world including the new ones that are finally coming out of the closet. Are you one of those? We are all becoming more open to our own intuition and guidance. Things are changing so rapidly that the messages coming to us are quite different from one another. I find that I get am feeling and intuiting the changes before I even hear one of the speakers mention it. It is quite a different scenario for me. I am having even more questions than I had before. I will include some of the ones that really made a hit with me. I hope you enjoy them.

I listened to this call by Patricia Cota Robles and during the invocation; I was reduced to tears because of the Love that I felt. I seldom cry when I am sad but I am easily reduced to tears when I feel LOVE. Go to this link and scroll down through the other replays (unless you are interested in listening to these also) until you reach the replay of Patricia Cota Robles. I know it will leave you feeling the love that is there for you.

Lee Harris had a remark about us having only one lifetime on earth and that shocked me. What is your take on it? Usually his talks are quite upbeat but you can see where the energy is changing our preconceived ideas.

Reclaim your power by Matt Kahn. This talk issues forth a feeling of trust and confidence in our future in contrast to Lee’s talk this month.

I have not mentioned Jennifer McLean for a while. She has a new book and is offering it free for a limited time. You pay only for the shipping. I have not read her book as it is in production right now but her movie is very uplifting and that is free when you order her free book plus other bonuses. I was very impressed and I wanted you to have the opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity.

I wanted to leave you with a smile and this is a perfect representation of Spring.

BACK HOME – HAPPY EASTER

Posted on by

Beloved,

Today is a rainy day and it feels appropriate for Good Friday, a lot of tears flowed that day so long ago. I am connecting to all across the globe who are in tears for their loved ones, whether because they are worried about them or because they were a victim of terrorism of some kind. Will you take a breath with me for these fellow brothers and sisters? Let’s send them love to ease some of their burdens.

I have been home a week and a half after being away for two and a half months. I was not aware that I actually had been hypnotized by all the changes I was forced to make until I came back home and could not remember how to work the remote for the TV or even how to record a show I would like to watch later. I put things away at the beginning as I tried to remember where I usually put them and a few days later I would find things in a place that I realized I did not usually put those items. It was amazing to me how much my brain or should I say habits had changed. We humans do things so automatically in our everyday life that we are not really aware or conscious of. I felt so out of it and I had not been taking any alcohol but that is what it felt like.

I was quite concerned about the birds I feed every day even though I was assured by the bird store personnel that they would be fine, they would find food elsewhere and would come back when I returned. It has taken a week and a half and the golden finches ARE returning. The males are starting to get their golden color back from their winter drab color. My great blue heron greeted me this morning also. Of course, the geese have been here right along as the winter was so mild that the ice fisherman had only a week and a half to fish according to my neighbor.

It was strange as I saw three small ducks with the 12 geese and for a long moment, I wondered if they had had babies. I was so disoriented from not going through the winter that I was confused and bounced back and forth between saying it is too soon and saying maybe I actually missed the timing of their nesting. I finally got my binoculars and to my delight, saw that the three smaller ducks were actually migrant ducks who come to my lake to eat and rest on their way home. I do not know if I missed my favorite mergansers that always stop in the spring and in the fall. We are creatures of habit after all. I took so much for granted and I am now seeing it all with new eyes.

I also lost my title of: First boat on the Lake in the Spring”. I came home at 7pm so I did not notice much. The next morning I got up and opened my blinds to see a boat on the lake with two fishermen in it. They seemed to be enjoying it. It was 60 degrees that day and I really wanted to break in my kayak for the year but it was still next to the garage where it was put for storage. I was way too busy unpacking to dwell on it but since that was the last warm and perfect day to kayak (no wind), I wish I had lived in that moment and did what my heart called me to do.

One thing I learned on my hiatus was to live more in the moment. I did not even have to look at my calendar the whole time I was there; there was no place to go at any certain time. I did not know anyone so no plans had been made and I was free to do whatever called to me. It was so cold there because El Nino gave you the weather from the south and us the weather from the north. It was not conducive to going out on the ocean to hunt for dolphins and I did not even kayak as I had planned to do, it was too cold for me. I felt like I was on retreat from the world I knew, even the problems with the TV and the phone increased that feeling. I am never bored at home but I was getting the opportunity to feel bored. It was a new feeling for me and I was not quite sure what to do about it. I was in a one bedroom so there was less floor space and nothing I could do since I was renting so I rested a lot and delved into myself more. Many feelings came up that I had buried and I certainly had the time to get retrospect and release a lot of emotion that I did not know was there. I learned a lot about myself and learned a lot when I came home to what I had previously known. I am almost resettled into my old routine but I am hoping to keep the new awareness that my hiatus gave me.

Eckhart Tolle has a clip that reminds us of a way to stay in the moment.

Many people are saying to live in the moment and this is a great message from Archangel Gabriel and his messenger Shanta Gabriel.

We have just gone through a massive shift of energy that was preempted by the moon and the heavens. Would you like to know a little more about what just happened?

Happy Easter!

Have you heard of Abraham and Esther Hicks? I listened to a link I was sent and it was such that I listened 3 or 4 more times so I could mentally understand what she was saying. I know my faith is of the heart but my mind wanted to understand it also. When someone speaks, you take the verbal and also the feeling associated with it to come to a conclusion. Since I am familiar with Abraham I understood what was said but I was not sure you would so I found a few other short talks by her that help bring more clarity of where she was coming from. I know she reveres Jesus as the Master and I do also. We all are children of God so I know he was Spirit and Human at the same time. He has accomplished what I am hoping to do in this lifetime: ascend or resurrect which Easter celebrates as truth. My car has a front license plate that says: “JESUS IS MY GUY”.
