LOVE ON MOTHER’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! To all who carry the Divine Feminine Energy. There are many ways to express that energy and single parents express it under the harshest of circumstances. That includes all the single fathers out there who need to be both Dad and Mom to their children. You deserve to be acknowledged on Mother’s Day too. We are quickly becoming balanced in our masculine and feminine energy so we are balanced human beings. There are many opportunities to let either of these traits emerge and I so want to honor all who put LOVE first. LOVE is the singular energy that carries the most strength and honor to our humanness.

For this newsletter I would like to showcase the stories and videos that exemplify the Love of the Divine Feminine. I think you will enjoy these and perhaps you can share these with those you love. I honor all of you readers, you are so very special to me. You give me the opportunity to share my human life with you. We are one species on one planet thus making us one family. Mothers come in many shapes and forms; it is their love that makes the difference. Let’s share our love with all other humans and also nature which is such an example for us.

This one says it all. The creator created all of this and it is so huge and awesome. It certainly makes me feel small aside of it but I know that I am just as important a creation of God as these huge massive creations. I wanted to start with this one because it sets the stage of what we can accomplish even though we are smaller in stature. As one family, we are just as massive.

Imagine the courage and love it took to become a mother with such a misdiagnosis.

I bet you know some people like those in these videos. If you cannot see them for this Mother’s Day, just send them love from your heart and I promise they will feel it in some way. They may not know from whence it came, but they will “feel” it.

PS. I know I am early today but I am going for a walk (in my scooter) with my son, Steve at a canal walk which I have been wanting to do for ever so long.

Love and Light

Beloved,

Have you ever felt fear from something you thought you would love?
I was in for quite a surprise this week. Ever since I have moved
here, I have wanted a door to go onto my deck that was all glass so
I would have an ever better view of the lake. I have a bow window in
my living room that overlooks the lake but a large portion of my
living room was wall and a solid exterior door which meant I had to
stand in front of the window to see the lake. I wanted to be able
to see the lake as I passed by into the kitchen from my office, my
spare room, my master bedroom and even the bathroom. The temperature
up here on the mountain is usually 5 degrees colder than down below.
This means I don’t get to open my exterior door for long once the
screens are in place so for most of the year, I don’t have full
view access through the door. That corner of my living room and my
view to the lake is closed.

Well, finally I ordered two exterior doors which were badly needed.
The storm doors for both doors are full glass doors so I can see
easily in the warm weather when I open the doors. One is new and
has a screen that shows up when I pull down the top part of the window.
I love these new inventions as I don’t have to remove the glass and
insert the screen twice a year. My new kitchen door is half window
and half door and it has a blind right inside the window which is so
easy to either pull up so the window is clear or I can also adjust
the blind to open or close. Both sills or thresholds had rotten wood
which I did not know about but was taken care of at the time of the
new installation.

I was so excited to finally be able to see the lake as I was passing
by the doorway to the living room. I always look as I am passing by
as I watch the birds and I can a little corner of the lake this way.
What surprised me was how I reacted each time I passed by now.
My heart would race as I automatically thought the door was open and
I felt fear. Fear that my door was open and I was not safe or
protected from anything outside. I WAS SHOCKED AT MY REACTION.

I went out one day to do yoga and do shopping and when I opened
my back door, the first thing I saw was the door to the deck
which looked open and I had a fight or flight reaction. My first
thought was that I had forgotten to close and lock the door and was
there anyone inside of my house now? My heart was pounding and I
felt real fear.

I never expected to be reacting like this and I was getting a real
opportunity to look at why I was reacting this way to my home.
I know humans do not like change but THIS is one that I had been
looking forward to for so long. In my rational mind it did not
make sense but nonetheless I was feeling fear and being unsafe.

I know I like to be in control and as doors are openings into our
inner sanctuary, I felt my safety was being threatened. Doors can
also be portals into our subconscious which is evidently where this
was coming from. I remember being told so often growing up to be
reasonable and not to react irrationally to things or events. I was
extremely “sensitive” to surroundings and other people’s feelings but
I did not realize at that time that I was an empath…a person who
feels what others are feeling. I was not aware of it for a very
long time. I know now that much of what I feel is not mine, it
belongs to the world outside of me. Was that what I was afraid of
now?…. The world outside of me that I was able to keep out with
closed doors and locks.

Being vulnerable is essential to being open to Spirit. Vulnerability
does not mean you are unsafe or unprotected, it simply means that
you are trusting in God and knowing that you are protected and
safe in this world. The opposite of fear is love and I know that
I AM loved beyond measure. The outside world gives us many
opportunities to strengthen our muscle of belief in love as it gives
us many scenarios of fear. Even my new doors were just a scenario of
fear which was only in my human mind and its ingrained habit of
perception. I was being given another chance to erase some fear that
had been buried deep within my soul. I was ready to conquer that
fear that was totally out of context. I also know that fear can
be conquered one step at a time.

Soooo….for now, I am keeping the blinds open in that door instead
of pulling them up and having them look like the door is open. I still
have butterflies in my stomach but they are coming less often and
eventually I will be able to open that full length of glass with
no reaction except joy that I can now see more of the lake and
see it more often as I am passing by.

As a side note, the day the doors were installed two white swans
came for a visit to my lake. That was so thrilling as in 16 years
I have only seen a swan once so they are rare. And…as the
contractor was replacing the sills, each threshold had a penny in it.
He said that many people do this but I have never heard of this
tradition. If you know why this was done, would you drop me an email
and let me know? I love pennies as I believe they are gifts from
angels, they even carry the words: “In God we trust”. Do you think
perchance that I was being given a message???? I do.

I want to share a pretty cool video with you today.

It talks about the 5 natural emotions that we all experience
as humans in our day-to-day life and interaction with others.

Many of us keep these emotions inside instead of embracing
and accepting them. In some cases, however, even our emotions
that seem “negative” can be used as motivation to transform your
life for the better.

I know Mother’s Day was last week but I didn’t want to wait until
next year to send you this tribute to mothers all over the world.

One more…I wanted you to know about this recording. I listen
to this in my car and feel such joy continuing in my life even
when I am not listening to it. The day after, I woke up with
joy and even laughed at myself in the mirror. I found myself
singing silly ditties during the day also. Just listen to some
of it and it is free to download if you choose.

SIGNS FROM MOTHER NATURE – LOVE, JOY AND MOTHER’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

How has the energy of the eclipses been treating you? Everyone is
being treated fairly. Whatever you haven’t dealt with yet, will
come up for you to look at again. It has been challenging but also
rewarding as we are faced with old scenarios yet we are being given
the strength and ingenuity to see them differently so we can absorb
he blessing and wisdom that comes with them. This article can give
you some food for thought in using the NOW energies.

Another eye opener article of what we are experiencing.

http://expectwonderful.typepad.com/messages/2013/05/may-2013-passage-to-expansive-freedom.html

Mother Nature is giving me a lot of nurturing signals. Have you ever
smelled a tulip? I cannot be sure that I ever tried but Tuesday
morning as I pulled up at my Svaroopa Yoga’s studio, “The Centered
Place” I was just pulled in by the beauty of the flowers growing there.
The owner has the greenest thumb that I have ever experienced and it
was a joy just to see what the earth was yielding. I could not help
myself but there were red tulips closest to the driveway so I bent
down to smell it. I was stunned, the tulip had a fragrance and it
was an aroma that I have never ever smelled before. I happily went
in and mentioned it to my teacher, the owner and she smiled and we
got down to doing yoga, On the way out, I could not help myself
again so I bent down and smelled it again and then went around
smelling all the different colored tulips which all had a distinct
fragrance. My teacher and her husband came out and they both smelled
the tulips and were surprised by the fragrance. Have you ever heard
of a perfume or essence called tulip? My heart was singing as I had
discovered something I never knew before and I felt like it was a
gift to me from heaven and the angels. Try smelling a tulip not
the ones in the store but one that is growing in the ground. You
just might be pleasantly surprised and get a marvelous gift.

Tuesday night I received a call that stunned me and plunged me down
into an emotion that I never wanted to feel again. No, no one died
but my heart fell to the floor as I was being asked for help that I
was not willing to give. I then had to get off the phone because I was
so upset that I was shouting. So much for the calmness and serenity
that I had experienced that morning. My mind was whirling as I could
not make sense of what I had just heard. A loved one was asking for
help which was making me judge and jury and I did not like that
emotion. What could I do to help without causing more of a cascade
down into the hellish situation. Sometimes, tough love is the only
answer but that tore at my heart also. I prayed all night for wisdom
and for an answer. The following day, I agreed to help but with
strict regulations. This episode made me judge myself and the other
one quite harshly and I knew that was not the answer. To me, LOVE
is the only answer to any situation but there are many ways to
implement it. I had been given an opportunity to return to a
situation and feeling that I thought I had put behind me. Has
that ever happened to you? I opted for thinking positive and to
keep the scenarios running around in my head to only positive
outcomes. I spent a lot of energy observing myself and the thoughts
that kept creeping in. The situation has not been solved yet but
it is getting easier to keep my thoughts on a positive note. That
is a muscle I would like to strengthen even more. I am also getting
the chance to practice unconditional Love on myself and others.

Here is a different perspective and how we can turn our thoughts
around to find joy.

This morning as I was doing dishes, I suddenly saw a Baltimore
Oriole at the feeder in front of my window. I was shocked as I have
not seen a hummingbird yet and they usually come in around two weeks
earlier. I had put out food for both species because it was later
than usual for their appearance. 20 Minutes later, there was
a hummingbird at the feeder. My heart jumped for joy as these
are my favorite birds. An hour later, there was a Grosbeak at
my feeder and this is one that is rare for me to see. Suddenly
I KNEW that I was getting messages from them so I went to my book,
Animal-Speak to see what messages they were trying to tell me.

Baltimore Oriole – keynote is THE WEAVING OF SUNSHINE. when the
Oriole shows up, look for sunshine to show up within a two week
period. Orange/yellow and black are the colors of the Archangel
Auriel who oversees all nature spirit activity upon the planet. The
Oriole will help you to weave new sunshine into any area of life you
desire. It will help you to rediscover your own inner child and a
renewed sense of joy in your life.

Hummingbird – keynote is TIRELESS JOY AND THE NECTAR OF LIFE
It is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. It will
teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own
life circumstances.

I usually only look up animals, insects or birds that I rarely see
as I feel they are specifically speaking to me whereas the ones I
see and enjoy all the time are simply there and not coming to speak
to me. The Grosbeak is just such a one that I rarely see but with
them all coming in such a short time, I felt that they were all
trying to get me to pay attention to their messages.

Grosbeak – keynote HEALING OF THE FAMILY HEART It has on its chest
a rose-colored triangle that looks like a bleeding heart. This can
help teach us to heal all of the old wounds and hurts of family
origin. The Grosbeak can help us to see our family relationships as
a true melody – each note separate but part of a larger whole. They
can help us to see how our family has affected many of our life
patterns.

I truly feel that this grosbeak was sent to me for Mother’s Day and
it was also meant for you just until they leave your nest.

Now you can see what these eclipses are capable of, both challenging
and yet so miraculous. I wish you all the joy that has been given
to me this day. Look for the joys and they will appear and you
will be surprised how they show up.

Love and Light
