CONTRAST & BEAUTY

Posted on by

Beloved,

What contrast we have been experiencing lately. It is showing up everywhere including our politics. This is all an experience helping us to live in the moment as each moment is different so nothing stays status quo. It awakens us from our slumber of just putting one foot in front of the other so that we consciously are aware of what is in front of us right now.

The last three days have been balmy and in the 60’s. While I thoroughly enjoy the warmer weather, I could not help but feel sad that my kayak was put away for the winter. The wind and the water were perfect for a jaunt around the lake and when I am kayaking, I thoroughly immerse myself in each stroke and watching the shoreline with all the different houses and how different they all are as they enjoy being on the water and the effect of the lake upon them. I know I need reminders to be more in the present and enjoy what is now as it will change. And you know, we humans do not like change.

This morning I woke up to a Winter Wonderland. The Artic Freeze hit last night with rain and snow. My wish when it snows is that it would only snow on the trees and the grass, leaving the streets and driveways clear so we do not have to shovel. That is exactly what happened. The snow is soft and fluffy, it looks like cotton balls have been strewn everywhere. On the grass, it is not smooth, it looks like batting, not smooth but bumpy as it emphasizes the individual puff of snow. My street and driveway were perfectly free of snow as it had melted upon landing.

I had my breakfast looking out my bow window at the marvelous display that Mother Nature had put out for us to enjoy. Whereas yesterday everything was brown; the leaves were now gone and the plants were brown and the grass less green as we have had a frost.. Although warm it looked like a desert with nothing much alive. NOW, each brown leafless branch was covered with soft fluffy snow. Looking out at the mountain range across the lake was astounding. It was all white and as the sun came up; it created shadows yet also highlighted areas with its light played upon the snow. It was so beautiful to behold this with the water moving in the lake and the shadows playing with the sun creating different scenarios right before my eyes. The beach looked so different with thebrown sand having no snow and the grass was white, what a contrast. This is not something you see very often. I was being so grateful for this gift given to me as I did not always take the time to enjoy and savor the simple and yet miraculous happenings around me. I set my intention there and then, to take the time to sit and enjoy what Mother Nature is giving for my pleasure. I want to enjoy each moment without feeling sad because it is not totally what I wanted at that moment. A small breeze came up and then the powder puffs of snow were being blown off my tree right towards me as I sat inside in the warmth of my home. Contrast can be beautiful, it is what we make of it. I feel so full.

PERSPECTIVES & 11-11

Posted on by

Beloved,

Things keep breaking or breaking down, have you noticed? Nothing is the NORM anymore, thoughts and actions are changing around the world. Do you question why things are not going the same as it used to? Our whole planet is behaving differently that we are used to. The weather, politics, religion, jobs, food, etc….. seem to be different. Even the animals, the birds and the sea creatures are not behaving the same way. My birds are acting and feeding differently and I have new types coming. I have had only one sighting of the diving ducks that usually stop in their migration. The young men who take care of my leaves completely forgot me and the strong winds we are having did a lot of rearranging to them. One little tap and my favorite glass was broken. Then the pot for my coffee maker broke and I have not been able to find a glass replacement or a new one that does not overtake my counter space. Of course the full moon does not help but it is certainly beautiful. 11-11 is this week and I will give you some info on it which is exciting. My kayak is put away for the winter (darn). I usually keep it out until December but my son and grandson were here for one last fishing trip so I took advantage and they helped me do it.

Last weekend I was at a Catholic Charismatic Retreat given by one of my favorite Charismatic Priests , Fr. MacLear. It was held at the Holy Family Monastery in a neighboring state. Would you believe there was even a woman there who I used to work with and I have been retired 11 years? It was a very joyous weekend as we sing, clap and chant and the energy is uplifting. It felt so good to be able to do some favorite prayers like the rosary, etc. with people who enjoy it as much as I do. We had time for contemplation and time for rejoicing. The heat was not on so it was challenging but with everyone sharing the same predicament, it was easier to bear. The heat finally went on the second night and then my room was like a sauna. I could not regulate the thermostat because it is on the heating element and it just would not turn for me, perhaps I wasn’t strong enough but I found a younger woman who could turn it down but during the night, I still could not turn it higher to bring in more heat. The food presented a challenge but with patience and guidance the food staff did not starve me. The waiters and waitresses did their best even if at dinner one night, someone got the plain chicken that was meant for me but my table all waited until another chicken was cooked for me so I would not eat alone. There is always a rainbow after the clouds even when it is not visible to the naked eye.

I was researching the info I wanted to share with you when I came upon a video from Jim Self which expanded my mind and understanding of what is happening, why it is happening and what we can do about it. I was not going to listen to whole thing but once I started, I could not stop listening and I want to listen again. My newsletter is a little later than usual because this is about an hour long but it is sooo good.

11-11 is a powerful opportunity for us to manifest what we have been dreaming about. It also happens to be Veteran’s Day which is also an opportunity for us to be grateful for their sacrifice and valor and it is also a chance to create PEACE in the World as we no longer wish for our young people to have to give up their lives. Peace is possible and we can create it, one by one. Start with yourself, BE PEACE in yourself and then spread it to your friends and family and it will be contagious. Keep picturing and feeling PEACE.

Neale Donald Walsh is offering some sample chapters to his new book, “GOD’S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD: You’ve Got Me All Wrong. It is quite thought provoking but give it a chance. It opens your eyes to another perspective and you just might get your own answers to some questions you might have.

This is a final article on the ups and downs of physical life yet I love this perspective.

QUESTIONING YOUR BELIEFS

Posted on by

Beloved,

This month of October has certainly given us all opportunities for releasing all that no longer serves us plus the mystery of creation now that we have cleared space for the real you. The saga of creating space continues. My son offered to come and check out my sump pump if water started coming in but I knew it was not working right. It was humming but not pumping. I decided to call on Monday as 3 days of heavy rain were predicted and I certainly did not want to wait until my crawl space was flooded. Soooo, Monday morning I was planning on calling when during breakfast, I popped a front tooth so then my plans changed again. I called and they could take me that day so I spent some time taking care of that situation. I had no idea what to do for the 3 hours that I would need to wait when suddenly, in my mind popped the name of my niece who did not live too far away. I called her and we planned to have coffee. The Universe works in mysterious ways as the next day was her 55th birthday and her husband was home because he had surprised her with a birthday party the day before. He came for coffee also so it was a real treat to share time with both of them.

I got home 5 hours later and finally called Leader Basement (I recommend them highly) about my sump pump. They were so understanding and even though my annual sump pump checkup was in two weeks they had their man come the next day. My sump pump was indeed not working and needed to be replaced with a new one. I am at peace now and quite confident now knowing that when it rains, the pump is efficiently expelling the water from the rain we have had. It would have been quite a different story if I had waited and not been aware of my Guidancet to take care of that situation right away instead of waiting for someone else to make the decision. Trust yourself and your heart or gut when situations pop up. The more you go with the flow, the faster and easier it seems to be. What are you willing to release to make space for more of your blessings?

This is a good article of how our bodies and minds are reacting to the sun flares. It is always reassuring when we have info on what is happening and why since all of us humans are feeling it.

This is another good article with insight as to why we are being given all these opportunities and more info on the Eclipses.

This is a long video but so intriguing, especially in learning more about the past history of Egypt and what we believe. I found it to be mind blowing even though I still have more questions on the history of humankind.
