WHO AM I?

Posted on by

Beloved,

At this time of the year, there is much to put away, to put in
hibernation for its rebirth in the Spring. I have still not put
my kayak away and it is at this season that I deeply appreciate
the opportunity to see my surroundings in a different way. Most
of the boats are now removed or dry docked and most of the docks
have been pulled up onto dry land. There are still a few stragglers
like me who won’t give up until the lake starts to freeze.

I have not seen a boat out in the past two weeks and I myself have
not gone out in the water much as this season is also windy and I
do not want to battle the wind with the water being so cold. I went
out in the kayak last week but half way around the lake, the wind
was making the water rough ahead of me so I turned around and came
back while I still had some peaceful water. I went out this morning
even though it was not sunny but the water was like glass. I put on a
thin waterproof pants and jacket but as I sat down in the kayak, I
jumped up as the seat was so CCCCold. I came back in the house and
put on some sweats under the waterproof coverings and then went
back in the kayak.

We have a dam at one end of the lake and I have lived here for 16
years but have never seen how they raise and lower the “boards” so
that they lower the water level in the fall and raise it in the
spring. It was quite interesting and I discovered they can only do
it one board a day or week. You should have seen the rush of water
over the dam when they removed only one board. If they did two at a
time, the rush of the water would be too great and people would
get flooded out.

My older son bought a bass fishing boat and tomorrow he is bringing
it here so I can have a ride in it. I am really looking forward
to seeing my lake from above as in the kayak, I sit down into it so
it is a different feel and perspective.

From the kayak, I see many houses now peeking out at me as the trees
have let go of their leaves. The seasons not only change how the
water itself behaves but also what the habitation around the lake
looks like.

Happy Halloween!!!

It is fascinating to see how people change their appearance. It
is the only time you get to look funny or different and it is
accepted by society. Who would you like to be for a day or night?
I don’t know if it is my age or not, but I am quite happy to be me.
It is so difficult to pretend to be other than who I am yet when I
was younger it was fun to try to fool others. Maybe I just did not
know who I was then but now I do.

Once in a great while something as beautiful as this
comes along and must be sent.
Enjoy!!

FEEL THE FEELINGS – HAPPY GRANDPARENT’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Grandparent’s Day (Sunday)to all you grandparents out there!

I hope you all used your God given right to vote yesterday. It
was a little confusing as it was on Thursday instead of Tuesday.
That is one gift from God and the beautiful soldiers who protect our
country so we can be FREE to choose who and what we wish, that I
will not give up. Especially us women who want to be in our power,
if we do not vote, we give up our power to others. Let’s stay in
the power that has been hard won by all our predecessors. I like to
use the Primary as a way to give a boost of confidence to those who
have no opponents. It is my way of saying “Good Job” by clicking
next to their name (of course, only if I think they are doing a
good job). Many decisions are based on the primary election numbers.

I know fall is here as many signs point to it. Have you noticed
that there are trees that have changed? Actually some trees start
changing in August. I love Fall but it is also a sad time for me
as my favorite birds leave or have left already in migration. The
hummingbirds are still here for a few more weeks but what I miss
most is the singing of the birds. It is so quiet!

If my windows are closed, I can’t hear any of their tweeting so I
open one window on each side of the house for a half hour or hour
because I love the way their singing just blends in with my prayers
and meditations. It is the time that I know I will “hear” them before
I get busy with life and only occasionally pay attention. Today
is muggy and as I have no air conditioning, my home is shut up tight
to keep the moist and hot temperature out yet I did open them up
and one little bird accommodated me. I have no idea what kind of bird
but he sang his heart out for almost a half hour. I am indeed
grateful.

Can you tell I am feeling melancholy? It is OK to feel what we
feel when we feel it. That is the difference between Spirit and
human, humans feel many different emotions and all of them are valid.
Our souls wanted to come to earth for that very reason and there
are still many souls waiting to become human so they can experience
everything including sadness or melancholy. We are not humans having
a Spiritual Experience; we are Spirits having a human experience.
Let us appreciate all that it entails because when we leave our
earthly existence, we will no longer have the duality of the earthly
experience nor will we have feelings. E-motion is simply energy
in motion. Consider this: move the last letter of EARTH to be the
first letter of the word and what do you have? EARTH – HEART
The very same letters and where do your feelings or e-motions come
from? Your heart of course and earth is the beloved planet where
we get to “FEEL”.

This daily inspiration is from a very dear friend of mine, Cathy
Olsen, who is a marvelous photographer and personally writes the
words you see below and sends a beautiful picture that she took
and which corresponds to the words. Maybe I have it backwards, I
believe she writes the words that she “feels” goes with each
picture she takes. I wish I could send you the picture but I still
have not discovered how to “forward” the pictures. If this
inspires you, perhaps is you emailed her at [email protected].
she would add you to her email list.

Call in the vision of what you wish to create in this moment
against the blank canvas that is provided for you
focus
add rich color
contrast
light
and the element of love that lives in your heart
You are the creator
Walk in gratitude for that which you have created
and be at peace

Isn’t that beautiful and wonderful words to ponder.

I was sent this following email by another good friend and I
want to share this child prodigy with you. I never thought
it was possible to paint pictures like these.
This is just too beautiful to describe…………………..

The Video at the end of the little girl’s website is beautiful and
amazing.

This artist is lovely and her work is gorgeously spiritual.

Don’t skip the video at the end… it really is a “must see”.!

Nothing I could add would increase the joy and wonder you must be
feeling right now. ENJOY the feeling!

GRASSHOPPERS & ILLUSION MADE MANIFEST

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Labor Day!!! Does it feel like fall to you? We have had
several nights now in the 50’s which is so good for sleeping. And…
the kids are going back to school so I guess it is time to rev up
our engine and get busy. This summer I found myself not “wanting”
to do anything. Whether it was the heat or just my body taking a
prolonged rest, I am not sure. I so enjoy the heat except it makes
it feel so much colder when you go in any of the buildings that house
grocery stores, doctors, hardware or clothing. I thought we were
supposed to conserve energy, it certainly does not feel that the
companies are conserving.

Have you ever had something happen to you that you would have thought
was impossible? Were you grateful that you had a “witness” so others
would not think you were crazy? Now, I believe that there is a reason
for everything that happens even when we can’t find a reason for it.
You might find out the reason years later, they are part of AHA moments.

I know that all things are connected, not just living things but even
rocks which appear not to have life but they actually do, they are
formed from living organisms. Everything on earth has a vibration
and frequency. Some things like rocks just vibrate at a much slower
speed and some like the hummingbird have a very high vibration and
frequency. Have you ever felt the energy of a crystal?

For years now, I try to be aware of what is happening around me and
to me. I have a special bond with ALL animals as I know they allow
themselves to be used as messengers for us. Have you ever had the
experience of an animal or insect suddenly appearing out of their
normal context? Whether that is out of their “season” or their
normal habitat? Has an animal suddenly crossed in front of your car?
Or you notice a bird flying that you never noticed before?

There is a fence that separates the Lakeland Beach from my yard.
When I came to my home here for the first time with a realtor, a
Great blue Heron met us at the gate between the beach and my yard.
Now, they never walk across a beach as they only walk at the water’s
edge. I KNEW that was sign to me that this was to be my home. Has
anything like that ever happened to you?

Last Sunday, I watered my plants outside before leaving to go to
a Meet-Up with other spiritually minded people. I felt something
bite me on my left buttocks but could not find anything. I came in
the house and took off my pants and checked them but again nothing.
I didn’t pay any more attention and when my friend came, we took off
with me driving the hour long trip.

While we were in the circle and listening to the presenter, I felt a
bite on my right buttocks so I put my hand there. It felt like a
round scaly thing like something had dried on my pants? But…it
was not on the outside of my pants and since I did not want to
disturb the speaker, I just got up and shook my leg and my pants with
my hand hoping something would fall out of the leg. No activity.

When the break came, I went to the ladies room so I could check. I
took off my outer pants and there was nothing there. I took off my
underpants and nearly fainted in shock. There was a GRASSHOPPER
attached to them. I was in shock and my mind would not work as to
what to do now. I noticed some feet in the next stall so I asked
the person who she was. It turned out to be the assistant to the
presenter so I opened the stall door a little and showed her my
underpants with the grasshopper attached.

I did not want to kill it so I asked her if she would shake them
out of the window but I think she was scared of the grasshopper
so she suggested that I flick it off and leave it in the bathroom.
Since I still could not think, I flicked it and it hopped onto the
floor and under the sink. I then got dressed and joined the group
who had been told of my “episode”. They were all as shocked as I was
except we were all giggling. HOW did it get there, everyone wanted
to know. It must have done quite a large leap up my pant legs when
I was watering the outside plants. How else could it have gotten
there?

My shock was that it had survived my sitting in the car for an hour
and then my squishing it when I felt the bite. Why did it not
shake out? It must have attached itself to the cotton in my underwear.
I never knew that grasshoppers bite, I used to catch them all the time
when I was a child. I could find no bite marks but had two small round
black marks on my white jeans. They must have been caused by some
secretion that came from him? Also, since I “felt” the bite on both
sides of my body, left being female and right being male, I knew
that my Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine are now balanced. What
a gift that was and what a way to receive the message.

ie, I asked Jesus why I received the message in that manner and he
simply said that I was not listening to my guidance so it came
through in a way that I would pay attention to. What a gift!!!

Pay attention to that still small voice which is your guidance.

By the way, as I was leaving the meeting, I took a cup and caught
the grasshopper. I let it go outside and was teased about having
the grasshopper crossing state lines as I live in Massachusetts but
was leaving it in Connecticut.

I have an Animal-Speak book by Ted Andrews which is a Comprehensive
Dictionary of Animal, Bird,& Reptile Symbolism. I checked it when
I got home even though I knew that Grasshoppers symbolize leaping
forward. The key note is: Uncanny Leaps Forward. I will accept that
gift.

Some interpretations are: Grasshoppers have a knack for being
in the warmth and light and knowing when to make their leaps. Trust
your own instincts and rhythms. Listen to your own inner voice to
know when to make your moves in any area of your life. Sometimes
grasshopper can show up if we are not listening or if we are afraid
to make the leap off our mound. Many times Grasshopper people have
to learn to make new leaps. Life only becomes difficult when they
refuse to move.

Has a grasshopper shown up in your life?

When the Great blue Heron showed up, I checked the book also. It’s
Keynote is: Aggressive Self-Determination and Self-Reliance. It
reflects an aggressive movement toward opportunities that present
themselves. I KNEW without looking at the book that it was definitely
a sign from God that this is where I supposed to live. I still
checked the book though as it is fun to get confirmation.

Miracles are only illusion made manifest. Here is something
that we would have thought was a miracle except we have concrete
proof that is created by the earth and the minds of a creator.

This shows amazing creativity, but is also a strong
indication of the competition the Western world can
expect from China and other developing countries
in the decades ahead.
