HAPPY NEW YOU

Beloved,

Mother Nature is having fun playing with the ice fishermen. We have had extremely cold weather but the lake is freezing partly and then thawing partly. On Monday, the holiday of Christmas, I noticed that my neighbor was out on the ice. My heart went in my throat as I watched him walking on that ice and I knew from watching the lake that the ice was not that thick in the middle of the lake. I was going to call him and warn him or be prepared to call 911 if he went in when I noticed that he had a couple of friends with him. I also realized that I was thinking that he would need my help calling for help when I suddenly realized that everyone (but me) has a cell phone on them and would not need me to watch out in case he went in the water.

All of sudden, up at the other end of the lake, more men were coming onto the lake to ice fish. They even had kids out there playing ice hockey.They were successful and stayed for quite a while but my neighbor realized that the lake in front of his home was not thick enough to be ice fishing so he left. He is not a year-rounder as we call them; he is a summer person and weekender as he has another home to go to. Since he has not been here to watch the lake freeze and then thaw, he is not as familiar with where the lake freezes first. Since it is a fresh spring lake, the water is always moving and fresh.

Wednesday I noticed something in the melted part of the lake. I got out my binoculars and watched as a small Merganser seems to struggle with something around his head or so it appeared. The duck did not go in the water at all which is unusual as that is where they get their food. And…he was all alone, no flock or others around him. I was concerned but there was no way to help him as I could not go out on the lake and no one else would either. I said a prayer for him and checked him a few more times. Yesterday, I noticed Oscar, the sea gull sitting on the ice and watching the merganser but the little duck was still not going under the water for food. I prayed a little stronger this time that this beautiful duck would be spared. This morning I got up and although Oscar was not in sight, the merganser was. With his beautiful white hood in view, he was going in and out of the water. He was acting normal and must have been very hungry. I was relieved and now know he will be OK even if he has a tougher time catching up with his flock.

As I was in meditation afterwards, I thought of him again and was given the message that he, the hooded merganser, was giving me a message. Here he was all alone like me. His surroundings were far from the norm, as the lake was three quarters ice so he only had a small part that was liquid (which happens to be right in front of my home). Going by future conditions of the lake, it would soon be frozen over thus his food supply would be nonexistent and he was still alone. He did not go into fear; he just went along knowing that he was protected even when it did not appear so. What an example he is for me. He is one of my role models. Let nature be inspiring for you, Mother Nature is everywhere.

Our weather is reflecting all the turmoil and confusion that our world is in. Where I live, we missed the deep snowfall but our storm was erratic. First we had snow about 2 inches, then we had rain which was heavy at times but it did not melt the snow on my driveway: just on the street where the cars were helping a great deal to melt the snow. I went out and shoveled while it was still raining as I feared ice more than snow and I could just imagine if that thickness of snow and water froze, it would take a lot of sun to melt it. There, I clapped my hands, the storm was done. Unaware of it because it was dark by now, the snow came back with thick heavy flakes and was sitting on top of the water so out again I went with the shovel. I need to admit that I could push whatever was accumulating on my driveway because it would have been too heavy to lift. Even my sup pump was working at taking the water away, there was that much.

I had not planned to do the driveway either time I went out. I was more concerned with my sidewalk and a path to my garage. At least if I could walk to the garage so I could drive away, that would be a plus. Since it was still snowing after I shoveled, I assumed my snow people would finish it up. I got up this morning and there were just a coating of snow on the ice. It must have stopped snowing right after I came in the house. The boys that do my driveway must have been very confused as I saw where the truck had come down my street, saw that it was done and turned around. I called them and left a message because I know they would be confused as to who had done my driveway.

This is a perfect reflection of who YOU are, who YOU are becoming and who YOU will be.

I know we are celebrating New Year’s now but this is a story that has to be told for next Christmas. This was a problem for me when I had to admit there was no “Santa”. Read how this family solved this and how much fun their kids had. Let’s start a new tradition.

ARE YOU SAFE?

Beloved,

12-12 rolled around and I can’t say I felt anything special. The day was OK and the energy was no different than normal. On 12-14, two days later, it was a different story. When I opened my blinds to the lake and beach, I noticed the orange safety cones that were on the raft had been thrown onto the thin ice that now covered the lake. I shifted my gaze to where the raft was supposed to be but only a green square appeared to me. The raft has been pushed or dragged or??? onto that thin ice and was sitting on it. I knew that if it did not get moved back onto the grass (the beach is 2/3 sand and 1/3 grass) that the ice would melt from the sun that day and then refreeze making it impossible to get it back to safety.

So I called Janelle, the President of the Lake Land Beach club and explained what I was seeing so she could get some male help to get the raft back up where it belongs. Since the beach is right in front of me, I can see things others cannot so I keep an eye on it. She said: “Mary, don’t you know what happened down there on the beach last night?” “No”, I said, “what happened?”
I sat stunned while she told me that there had been black helicopters with no lights, police in gear with flashlights and also police dogs combing the beach, my yard and the surrounding neighborhood. I had heard nothing and with my blinds down, I had seen nothing. It seems there had been a home invasion a couple of streets away and the police were searching for the armed masked men. Now I was feeling vulnerable especially since I had been ignorant of the entire goings on. Since this was the beginning of my day, I had not done my meditations or prayers before breakfast so I went to my meditation chair and altar to do this. As I was in meditation, I suddenly began to laugh out loud. It was the sudden realization that I had been safe and sound in my home while my neighbors were going through a lot of trauma. We are told over and over again that we are protected but do we really believe that? I guess I had not totally trusted that truth but I could deny it no longer. I had been and am in my own little world, safe and protected no matter what happens around me. Wow, is that a heart and eye opener or what.

I then went to the Post Office to find out what they knew and then proceeded to the Town Hall to get what I hoped was the truth of what had happened. You know how a story gets entangled when it is spread from one person to the other. The Police Chief is supposed to call me but he hasn’t yet. What I have been told is that it was a home invasion by masked men with guns. It appears that it was a house that had a reputation for dealing drugs and that is what they were looking for. The police finally had caught one of them in a neighboring town. There is no news on TV or even in the papers so what really happened, no one knows.

My neighbors had all different experiences. Janelle had opened her door to ask police what was going on and was sternly told to go back inside and lock her door. Her two little girls were frightened so she did her best to calm them but they had just learned a lesson in fear. The closer neighbors were even more traumatized since it was so close to their home and they will experience fear for a much longer time. A friend halfway across town received a call from another friend to lock all her doors and stay inside. Fear really explodes and shoots its energy far and wide.

All these things happening right around me and I was at peace in my home and slept peacefully through the night. I was protected and so are you. My home is a safe haven for me and that was reflected back to me by this episode. If your home is filled with fear whether it is fear from neighbors, family or even subscribed to by watching TV, it shows up until you find peace inside of you and spread that instead of fear. I implore you to make your home, your surroundings and most of all yourself free of fear.

Sooo, even though I had not felt anything on 12/12, the energies of that day were still working. Here is a message from Shanta Gabriel on the energies of that day that are still around you, are still working and what they mean.

Is it too late to view a Thanksgiving miracle? Love is Love no matter when it is shared.

I have been talking a lot about 12-12, how about we transpose the numbers a bit and talk about 12-21, the solstice since it will happen before we next get together.

PEACE AND CONTENTMENT

Beloved,

When my son, Steve, stored all my yard things for the winter, I asked him if I could keep my kayak out for a while even though it meant he would have to come back to put it back in my yard against the garage. I actually got to go out kayaking three more times and each one a treasure as I know winter is coming. A few days ago I told him it was time so he came and put it away for the winter. This is generally a sad time for me as I do not like the cold and snow of winter. I suddenly realized today that this year, I feel differently. After being in South Carolina for two and a half months last year, I have a different outlook on staying put for the winter. Each year, I would crave to be out in the sun on the beach and without a winter coat.

My trip to SC was a tough one as it rained all three days and my rental place was not what I expected. I did have a balcony with view of the ocean but it was too cold to go out on it even for a coffee. I wore my winter coat for 2 months in order to go to the beach. I was on the third floor with an elevator which I made sure of before I booked. No one mentioned that the elevator would be on the opposite end of this large building with two spaced heavy fire doors that I would have to push open while using my motorized scooter. The only window was the door to the balcony so it was a dark apartment with no sun coming to warm me or my spirits. I could not leave the apartment without my scooter as the elevator was so far away. That in itself was a constant reminder to me of my handicap and what my future might entail. I bet you can tell why I went into a depression although I tried to make the best of it.

My home has the sun coming in the kitchen every day that there is sun. I can even open the door and the sun streams in so warm through the storm door. Sometimes, I put my bathing suit on and bask in its warmth while absorbing Vit D. I am in my own comforting bed and my home is free of all chemical contaminants. I can look out at the lake, which today looks like an ocean because of the wind, while still in the warmth of my home. I may get lonely but I am not bored as being in my home, there is always something I can do. I know where all the stores are and if I get lonely, there are people I know who I see when I go to Church, the dump, the post office or the stores. I can walk out to the garage and get in my car and drive without being constantly reminded that I am handicapped (at least, for now). I am even more thankful that I went to SC last year as it has given me a different perspective on being home in Massachusetts for the winter. I feel a lot more content and happy to be right here in my own home.

Marianne Williamson gave a very interesting interview on the election results. It is eye opening to see the different perspective on something that we all partook in.

This is how we react as Americans and show our support.

Here is an opportunity to meditate with Eckhart Tolle about the teachings of Jesus which is what Christmas initiates. If you can’t make it this Sunday, register anyway as there will be a replay available until Jan 11, 2017. You may want to listen closer to or on Christmas.
