WE WEATHER THE STORMS AS ONE COUNTRY

Beloved,

How did you fare the storm? Hurricane Sandy gave the Eastern US a
real hard punch especially in places like NJ that never experience a
hurricane. I hope this newsletter finds you and your beloveds in a
safe, warm and loving space.

My power was off for five hours but the generator that I had spent
9 months (like a pregnancy) deciding how powerful a one to get and
what kind, kicked in so quietly that it was barely noticeable. I
was giddy with glee. After surviving 2011 with its devastating 4
huge disasters, I was in heaven. I felt so safe and secure knowing
that with electricity, my sump pump would continue to take care of
any water problems and my cellar(crawl space) was secure. There
were problems with the TV reception and also my modem for the
web but all in all, it was quite uneventful which I was extremely
grateful for. The power came back on at 10PM so I went to bed feeling
calm.

I woke in the morning to my sump pump alarm going off which meant
that there was water in my basement. Oh shoot! I tried for an hour
to figure out why my pump wasn’t working, I unplugged all the plugs,
checked for power, etc. I finally called the company who installed
it and the manager told me someone would be out by 2PM to assess the
situation. In the meantime, water was still coming in but not in
torrent that most storms bring. At 2:15PM, I got a call from the
manager and he said he could get a service man out to me but he was
coming instead. I was so grateful that he would do that for me,
after all it was not his “job”. He arrived and discovered that I
need a new pump to the tune of $450 and it was only 2 years old.
I guess that it really has had to work hard especially last year
as the water table was really high and it did not get much rest.

I feel so humble after seeing all the devastation that was shown on
TV. I simply lost a pump which was replaced quickly and now my
basement is drying out with the help of a dehumidifier SaniDry. I
received this notice from Mitch Battros who I subscribe to for
the warnings that he gives about sun spots and how they predict
the weather we are going to have. Here is a sample of who he is
and what he offers. It certainly explains why the Earth is having
so many storms right now. Enjoy!

Mitch Battros Interviewed on GAIAM TV
by Mitch Battros – Earth Changes Media

Is it possible that galactic and solar events are exerting an impact
on Earth’s climate far more than any human activities? And is it
possible that these celestial events are affecting us in many more
ways than just the climate? Finally, is it possible that ancient
cultures, such as the Mayans, anticipated these changes?

In a far-ranging conversation that travels to the center of our
galaxy and back, scientific journalist and crisis intervention
specialist Mitch Battros describes the connection between what
happens on the Sun and what happens on the Earth. He speaks about
the impact of solar radiation on the Earth – not just climate, but
Earth’s magnetic field, and, in turn,all life on Earth. And he talks
about an alignment of our solar system in the galaxy, and a beam of
galactic particles that may bring significant change.

Another great article this time from Jean Houston. I hope you are
not sick of hearing about Earth Changes or disasters that affect
Mother Earth. This article gave me a lot of food for thought as well
as confidence in the future. I have often admired trees and even
thanked them for how they care for us in so many ways, with shade,
with nuts and fruits, with wood for our fires, etc. But…..I never
ever gave a thought of how they also give of their very selves in
a storm.

Compassion During the Storm

Dear Friends,

A good friend of mine, the Zen Priest and poet Bonnie Myotai Treace,
just wrote to me a few lines of sorrow over the trees that will soon
be falling.

“I grieve the end of orange leaves. The soon beating death of trees
so many, cracked and broken, pulled from earth, struck and whipt by
wind: trees that will not be mentioned with love, just blamed for
downed lines, troubled lives. My people, they will be breaking,
falling, dying. I sing their lives. Stronger than silk, milk,
midnight. Deeper than shadows, intimations, rootedness itself. The
taffeta sound of their falling is my grief endlessly landing falling again then landing again endlessly…”

May we regain both strength and compassion to serve each other, the
resilience to restore and recreate after it is over, and, most deeply,
the return of wonder, of gratitude, and a commitment to remember
our ultimate truth-that we are after all-the One in the Many and
the Many in the One.

LOVE,
Jean Houston

Do you remember seeing the clip on TV about the rescue of the
people on that boat? This is a link for you to watch the actual
rescue if you want to see it.

Coast Guard Rescues 14 At Sea After Ship Sinks

http://www.dvidshub.net/video/159583/coast-guard-rescues-14-searches-2-hms-bounty#.UJQNE2e8iuk

I was mesmerized as I listened to the voices of the rescuers. No one
person could have rescued these people. It took the whole team.
While the pilot held the helicopter right where it needed to be per
the instructions he/she was receiving (I heard a female voice also)
the “swimmer” as the rescuer was called was being directed where he
needed to be to put the people in the “basket” to be brought up to
safety, the man in the open door was guiding the basket as it
swung to and fro because of the high winds of the hurricane. I was
so inspired by the willingness, courage and strength it took from
each individual. I am sure there were others involved but it brought
to my mind, the election that we as a country are facing in a few
days.

I see the President of the United States as the pilot and the
others as our Senators and Representatives and all the political
people right down to our towns and cities which are all needed to
rescue us when there is a disaster and to keep practicing their
skills so they are prepared when needed. Please choose wisely when
you vote on Tuesday. Vote for the people who you know put you above
their own needs like Obama did when the disaster hit. We need a team
to run this country and we need to be part of this team. Let us do
our part for our country by listening to our hearts and taking the
few minutes it takes to vote. Our ancestors lost their lives so
we would have the Freedom to Vote. We are not asked to give our
lives except for our Miltary Services who deserve to be honored
by respecting their devotion and willingness to die so that we
may vote to keep our country safe for ALL. Lets at least give
two minutes of our time to mark our ballots.

I feel we need a little laughter here so here goes.

FOUNTAINS OF LIFE AND ENERGY?

Forgive me, I forgot to mention in last week’s newsletter that the
6th Annual Living Expo is this weekend, September 29-30. I will be
there at Booth #10 which is the booth I use every year. As many of
you like to attend, I intended to give you a heads up just in case
you did not know when it was. So I am sending out this newsletter a
day earlier. Here is the info:

Join us in Sturbridge this Weekend! Only $10 admission for the whole
weekend.

Saturday: 9am-7pm o Sunday: 9:30am-5pm
Sturbridge Host Hotel o Directions
Sturbridge Host Hotel, 366 Main Street (Rt 20 West), Sturbridge, MA

Questions: (508) 278-9640 x 2    [email protected]

Stop by and say Hi if you go, I would love to give you a hug.

The energies are having fun, at least with me. My appointments have
been going belly up so fast my best laid out plans on how to
facilitate and be gas and time conserving to get everything done,
are quite comical after I release the frustration I suddenly feel.
Even when I attempted to write this newsletter and I logged in to
Aweber, suddenly my usual template was gone and I had no idea on how
to get it back. I am learning though, I only wasted a half hour
before I called Aweber for help. How are your plans turning out?

It feels like I am in a comedy play where I am being tested to see
how I can maneuver in the maze and still keep a sense of humor.
I do sometimes lose my patience but even doing that, I am getting
an opportunity to practice being more fluid. Roll with the punches
is the phrase I am hearing. I am hoping that being more fluid will
become a habit that will occur naturally for me now.

Fall is a beautiful time of the year but every fall I feel sad at the
same time I am enjoying what fall brings; like apples, foliage, Big E,
cooler nights and more activities to participate in and an opportunity
to clean out my attic and cellar. Have you ever thought of cleaning
out the attic and cellar of your mind? We only have the moment in
this NOW and the attic and cellar hold onto the past. Quite a thought
provoking idea isn’t it? I feel the dichotomy because the boats are
being put away for the winter, the raft that the children love so
much is now beached, no one is swimming so there are no more squeals
of delight from the children,and I no longer can see the sunsets
from my deck.

The only reasonable excuse I can come up with is that I do not adapt
well to change. OR….is it the Harvest full Moon in Aries on
Saturday that is playing with my mind? Yet in Spring, I am very
happy to change from the cold into the warmth, from bare trees into
leaves and flowers. There are actually people who sincerely LOVE
the changes that comes with the four seasons. Do you look forward
to the changing of the guards?

Actually, one thing we humans can be certain of is CHANGE. In fact,
here in New England, there is a saying: “If you don’t like the
weather, wait a moment and it will change”. I am still playing
with: “Living in the moment because it is all there is”. When I
become aware of how I am feeling sad, I bring myself back to this
actual moment and see what I can feel gratitude for and that usually
snaps me out of my deep reverie of sadness.

I came across this eye opening and mind blowing article from Aluna
Joy which will bring Joy to your heart. It was a reassurance to me
that all the sayings like: Everything happens for a reason; You
are accomplishing your mission even when it doesn’t feel like it;
There is Divine Timing and Divine Order;and Trust in Higher Power.
Read it and see what you think.

each message builds upon the previous one. We are sharing this
message here with you just as we received it, in present time, with
very little editing. We do this for a very important reason.

I went to the Big E yesterday and enjoyed the potatoes from Maine,
so much so in fact that I went back for another one a few hours later.
ONE of the things I enjoy about Fall. Another good thing is that The
Natural Living Expo is here and I may get a chance to see you again.

TRAGEDY & COMEDY

Beloved,

This day did not start out too well but it all came clean in
the wash. When I tried to access my emails, Firefox could
not connect to server. Thank Goodness I have learned to look
at the router to see what it is doing. I used to waste so much time
trying to figure out why I could not connect to the web. Four of
the five lights were on and some flashing but the one going to the
internet was out. Soooo. I shut down the router, waiting a
few minutes and tried again. Again, no internet so I called
Verizon.

Looking at my bill, I was trying to figure out what number to
call but nothing for repair so I called the regular number. If you
have ever done this you know how much time is wasted, not
their time but yours. I finally got to a “human voice” so I could
explain what was happening. You know when you are out of
the United States because the people are so polite. Her name
was Mariel and she was from the Phillipines. I usually ask to
be transferred to the US because it is the law that they have
to accommodate this request but since it had taken me so
long just to hear a human voice, I did not want to take the
chance of being disconnected and having to start all over again.

At least, I could understand her English but the volume was
quite low so I struggled with that although she continually
tried to raise the volume. She said there were no outages
so she proceeded to spend 20 minutes to try get me connected
without much luck. Guess what, there was an outage locally.
It’s too bad Verizon does not have a system we could call to
find that out. And…their counterparts in other countries should
be made aware of their outages too.

I don’t like the fact that other countries are taking care of us when
we are perfectly capable of doing it, but I do not blame the person
trying to help me out. I told her that Ariel is a powerful Archangel
and she carries his name in her name so she has a great protector.
She was pleased to find that out.

While I was waiting for the internet connection to be fixed,
I turned on the TV to have my breakfast. Let us take a moment
to send some loving positive energy to all involved in the
tragedy in Colorado. which happened at the Batman premier.
no family anywhere in this world is free from mental challenges
in their midst. Let’s not place blame on anyone. You know
that the young 24 year old man must have mental challenges
in order to commit this atrocity. I am sure now that the
media will find blame in our mental care system but how can
any agency know which of their billion clients will go over
the edge

I have a grandson with the same name as the shooter, James Holmes.
He came from a broken home and was in the foster care system. He
experienced events that would make your hair curl. Although some
decisions were made by foster care that I did not like, they had
his best interest at heart. After many years, he is now balanced
and having a better life. I immediately called my son to see if it
was possible that it was our James, but it was not. Thank God.
See how my concerns this day have been put to rest.

Until there is peace in the world and every human feels safe, there
will be mental challenges. Look at our own soldiers and the Post
Traumatic Stress they are suffering from because of all of the
atrocities they see and what they have to do to keep this country
safe. As long as there is extreme poverty, our children will
also suffer from mental challenges as they are being raised by
parents who are dysfunctional. It carries down through the
generations.

Grace abounds in all situations, all we need to do is to ask
for it and miraculously it appears. This is a perfect opportunity
to become aware of the important job we are doing as lightworkers.
Let us bring light to this planet, the whole planet, and it only takes
one candle (you) to light up a room. Remember it takes only
a crack in a human’s heart to allow the light to shine in and that
crack will happen when they feel and experience love. It can
happen anywhere, in the supermarket, at the gas station, at the
Post Office, etc. The easiest way to transmit love is with our
smile, it says it all. How many people do you see every day
that you could smile at and help smiling go viral.

Yesterday was a wonderful day, full of happy surprises for
me. The heat wave has been broken, I went in my kayak
early in the morning which is a great treat for me. I went
swimming in the lake in the afternoon and then went to
a concert held in a neighboring town on the town common.
On the way home, guess what I found. A restaurant that
was advertising Gluten Free Menu on its billboard. I could
not pass that up. I was not hungry but stopped to check
out their menu and boy was I in for a treat. The young
24 year old chef has Celiac so is very familiar with how
to cook gluten free.

I was in heaven just looking at the menu. Do you know
how long it has been since I have had Fish and Chips?
or Fried Mozzarella, or Clam Chowder or Baked Ziti,
or Pizza? There is even more than that to choose from
like pancakes for breakfast, YUMMM

For those of you in the area, the name is Villa Nova on
5 Brimfield Road, Holland Ma 01521 413-245-9090
AND they even have delivery.

They have regular food and specials every day. Their
prices are great and all the vegetables are fresh from
the father’s garden every day. Can you imagine? Food
like your mom used to make, no processed food here,
it is all freshly made. Sunday is the only day they have
breakfast so I am planning on taking myself out for
a breakfast of gluten free pancakes this week.

My connection to the internet is back so I am now writing
this to you and then need to get busy preparing for hosting
my TV Show in 4 hours. Things always seem to go wrong
at the worst possible time like today as my Fridays are so
busy that I do not schedule anything extra. But….see how it
all worked out and I did not get too bummed out. I just
went to the Higher Power, prayed for everyone involved
in all of this and then let it go. Letting go is the hardest part
but if I trust in a power greater than me, then what am I so
concerned about?

The title of this song is: “ONLY YOU” and feels so
appropriate for the subjects I have been writing about.
I have faith in you and humanity and also humor which
brings our hearts to smiling. Let’s get it to go viral.

SMILE AS YOU ENJOY THE SONG, THE ANTICS
AND ESPECIALLY THE ENDING
