THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SMILE

Beloved,

I am so grateful that Mother Nature has spared this region of Massachusetts from all the severe weather that is showing up in our country.  Here it is Jan 6th and we have had only one small snowstorm in November.  Can you tell that I don’t like winter with all the driving problems and also the cold? My heart and prayers are with all life suffering from these storms.

2023 offers many opportunities to restart or begin again in the search for love and peace. Open your heart to your love for yourself.

AWARENESS & GRATITUDE

Beloved,

We have been blessed with such nice weather this late in the year that I even went out kayaking.  What a thrill that was because when the season gets closer to freezing, any time on the water is priceless. I am still hoping to go out on the water at least one more time. When I was out kayaking around the lake, I took notice that there were only three pontoon boats left out. All the other larger boats were already set for winter. Of course, the smaller canoes or kayaks are still available. I send you blessings and joy from the Earth’s water.

This article really surprised me. Who said that this life form can easily be flushed down the toilet with no remorse for its life form?  It is life and it was a reminder to me that life comes in all forms so all life must be honored and tendered. Who am I to judge life in any form as not being valuable?

I know that I feed the birds as I like to watch their daily antics and the variety in each costume they wear.  I was never aware of just HOW their singing thrilled me but now there is an answer for my inquisitive mind. Another species that has their own special gift for us humans.

I am old enough to remember every meal was eaten with the family.  I remember the feeling of belonging yet I took it for granted. Let’s make a concerted effort to have more meals with our families with the rule that no cell phones are allowed.  It is a simple and effective way to make ourselves feel good as well as spreading the love around.

Being at the right spot at the right time has been proven over and over again.  I believe that most “accidents” are divinely guided. How do you feel when you have been inconvenienced by a traffic jam or like this person who took the wrong turn. If we take the time to look at each delay, we may find the blessing within it.  This video is so graphic that no one can deny the saving grace that was present.

When I think of Hawaii, I always picture lush greenery and the beautiful ocean.  I was not ever aware that ON HAWAII there would be this sort of problem.  I am very grateful that attention is being paid so we don’t lose what we had to begin with.

Love and Light

NEW HOPE

Beloved,

My lake has been closed down because of growing algae.  I don’t know what caused it but I know that the Lake Association will be right on top of it.  No matter where you are living in Florida or elsewhere, there appears to be concern over WATER.  These events make us humans more aware of the necessity for clean water and not too much at a time. I, myself, have a deep appreciation for water and hope to remember more often to thank it for its life saving grace and beauty as well as its medicinal values.

Aluna Joy has great pilgrimages and they are certainly “working” ones, initiations abound. Check these out.

When I was little, I remember learning about St. Therese of Lisieux yet I was pleasantly surprised to find this bit of information from a well known priest and lecturer. It reminded me again about the “little way”. We tend to forget that small things are the most important part of any endeavor.

The Next Step of Preparation for the Holy Innocents” by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles has much info for you. Things you “know” and “don’t know”.

There is HOPE in your future.  You can’t lose hope when you read or see what is right next door.  Smile.

Here is another eye opener. I thought: “Thank you for that young boy who is the guinea pig for humanity”.

Love and Light
