WHO ARE THE HEROES?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Easter and a joyful Passover.

All of us taxpayers have received another great gift for Easter and Passover.  Because April 15th is on a Saturday and Monday is a holiday, you have until Tuesday April 18th to file your taxes.

All has been quiet on the Open Meeting subject.  I am so enjoying the peace again even if it is only an interim.  I told you about the Police Academy for Seniors that I am attending.  I am learning so many little things that are giving me a much deeper understanding and appreciation for our officers.  Yesterday I went along with a police officer in his cruiser for four hours as he was doing his duty.  Mothers, you know how to multi-task but I was never aware of how much multi-tasking is done by a police officer  in a cruiser. He was so alert and saw so many things including a car that seemed out of place in front of a convenience store with a driver that looked quite young.  He did not interfere while the young couple was just sitting there but checked it out after they were in motion.  It turned out fine but his skills are quite honed to anything unusual.

A young 18 year old girl was going 20 miles over the speed limit but it was down a hill and it was not on the highway.  He stopped her and only gave her a letter of warning which will make her think twice about going that speed again. What a gift he gave her because now she is now more aware of her actions.  Isn’t that what a good parent would do?  There was an accident with no injuries so I did get to experience going fast in a cruiser with the lights flashing.  It is amazing to see all the cars either stop or pull over.  It gave me quite a different perspective from that point of view. We were on our way to a bathroom break when all of sudden he turned around and stopped a car that had made an illegal U-turn. That action made me laugh as it was more evidence of his complete focus on seeing all that was happening around him even when he was talking to me or listening to calls. As we were sitting there, his lieutenant pulled up beside us and asked me how I was doing and feeling. The whole police station is interested in how we seniors are responding to this Academy. Everyone has gone out of their way to make this 9 week course very interesting and informative.

When I woke up yesterday morning, I contemplated not going on this ride along as I don’t like violence or riding in fast cars.  I went anyway because I am such a curious (nosy) person and like to experience all that life has to offer me. The officer has no way of knowing what will be coming for him to do on his daily rounds although I had to wear a vest and had to stay in the cruiser for safety reasons. I certainly was not bored and although it was very interesting, I did not experience many of the things that he has to do unexpectedly.  Thank God.

I was talking when all of sudden he made a U turn which is when I noticed a man out of his car and in the street hollering at someone in another car.  I had never even noticed that but the officer had and he took control.  He had both of the cars pull over and then one guy got out of his car to beat up the other one.  Then a female witness in her car pulled up and she was shouting. My officer called for backup as there were three very angry people and only one of him.  It took no time at all for 3 other cruisers to be there, one being the canine officer with his dog.  All of the officers did a great job at calming the people down but it did take some persuasion and some time for that to be accomplished.  These people were so lucky, they were given a stern warning but none were arrested.  It was road rage but there was no damage to vehicles and no physical altercation (which had been averted).  As the canine cruiser left, the dog gave a couple of woofs to say goodbye.

I feel so fortunate to have been able to experience 4 hours in the life of a police officer.  It widened my perspective and I have a deeper appreciation for what our police need to deal with in order to keep the peace.  Each event needed a different approach and a different solution.  Another thing that surprised me was that most of these people stopped after hearing only one Whoop from the cruiser.  I don’t know if I could stop that quickly after only one sound from the horn.  One offender stopped before the officer could even sound the horn.  I guess most people know when they have done something wrong and we were not in an unmarked cruiser either.

Do we take the time to show our appreciation to this wonderful men and women who take care of us 24 hours a day?  Out of the mouths of babes is a great saying and this boy not only said it but proved it.

Or this one?

Imagination is the secret ingredient in manifestation. It is something I am pursuing so I like this reminder.

Abraham on this same subject.  Boy, I need to listen to this more often. Hearing advice works better for me although I do leave written notes around for me to be reminded.

This really impressed me and others.  How would you like to manifest this way?

Love and Light

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”.

BLESSINGS OF PASSOVER AND EASTER

Posted on by

Beloved,

Blessings to you on Passover and Easter.

This morning I saw the top of my kayak for the first time this year, the rest of it is still not visible. It has been hidden under quite a bit of snow but it is a symbol for me of the coming possibilities and joy of being free in the water: both the water of the lake and the waters of life. Can you ‘feel’ the freedom that is here now for you in this season?

This past weekend, there were quite a few families on the ice enjoying it while it lasted. It is difficult for me to believe that just 3 days ago, an ice fisherman was out on the lake even though the lake was starting to thaw around the edges. We had a couple of 60 degree days and there is now quite a bit of water at the edge and it feels like there will be no more ice fishing. It is a reminder to me to enjoy this moment because it too will be gone too quickly.

I am not sure just where I will be on Easter except that I will be the Lector for the 11:30am Mass.That is such a privilege for me. My favorite Mass of the whole year is the Easter Vigil, where all the lights are shut off and each attendee lights their candle. It is such an awe inspiring sight to behold all the candles being lit in the darkness and the stillness of anticipation. I will be at that Mass also with many people who come to celebrate with us just on the holidays. It is so wonderful to have an overflow of fellow human beings sharing in the celebration of the Light that comes after the darkness.

Holidays can be challenging for some of you, including me. Getting together with family for holidays can bring back some painful memories for those who have experienced rejection on such days. Most of the time, the hurt you experienced was not intended but it still hurt just the same. We humans do manipulate each other without realizing what we are actually doing. This is a tip for you to deal with manipulation. It is a good tool to remember, it is not just for family gatherings.

Here is an answer to the question that is asked over and over again.

This weekend is very powerful…for many reasons. Not only is it Passover and Easter but it has the energy of the Blood Moon. More info here.

Revel in the energy of the LOVE that is circling the globe. WE as a people, as a species, have crossed over the bridge that separated all of us from each other. Let’s take advantage of the peace that is going viral around the world to feel it ourselves.

I will close by sending you the most powerful emotion of accepting the LOVE that is being given to you. Celebrate!
