APRIL FOOL’S JOKE (ON YOU?)

Happy April Fool’s Day ! Is the joke on you?

A Northeaster storm was predicted for today. I was
not too thrilled because I wanted to see my youngest
son inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa society tonight
and it is about three quarters of an hour away.

So…I asked Mother Nature if she could veer the storm
away to the mountains which would love the snow and
the skiers would be ever so grateful. She has done this
before so I was not asking for the impossible even if I
do believe in miracles. Did not Jesus say: “Ask and you
shall receive!” How often we forget to ask for what we
want.

It started snowing last night and when I got up this morning
it was still snowing and there was about 3 inches of snow on
the ground. Since the pavement retains the heat, it melted on
my driveway after a while and only stuck to my grass and
deck and stoop which I needed to shovel. I got an answer
to my request and I feel like April Fool’s Day did a switch
and gave me what I wanted. It has stopped snowing so
all is well for tonight.

I do need to say that the snow did require me to cancel
an appointment to have my deck checked out today by a
contractor but it will be done next week. A teleseminar
that I was looking forward to attending was delayed
at the last minute until next week. So the tricks are
still being played but I realize that Mercury is in retrograde
so that accounts for a lot of miscommunication.

Let us be like a child that looks forward to April Fool’s
Day or any other occasion for some laughter and
lighhearted fun.

What kind of a trick was played on you today?

I am sometimes too serious when I set a project for
myself so this link gave me a realization of just what
life is all about. Let’s BE instead of DO.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY & PERSONAL ACCOUNT OF JAPAN

I realize I am a day early but I so wanted to wish you a
Happy St. Patrick’s Day even if you are not Irish. I am
not Irish but I love the joy and celebration that the Irish
people put on for the whole world.

Even if you’re not Irish, you get an Irish Blessing. So here it is.
It is yours for the rest of the year.

May your blessings outnumber
The Shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go!

What would St. Patty’s Day be without a little humor.
Listen, enjoy and come back because there is more
information further down the page.

A letter from Sendai
ANNE THOMAS 3/14/2011
published online @ Ode magazine

Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal.
But I am very blessed to have wonderful friends
who are helping me a lot. Since my shack is
even more worthy of that name, I am now
staying at a friend’s home. We share supplies
like water, food and a kerosene heater. We
sleep lined up in one room, eat by candlelight,
share stories. It is warm, friendly, and beautiful.

During the day we help each other clean up
the mess in our homes. People sit in their
cars, looking at news on their navigation
screens, or line up to get drinking water
when a source is open. If someone has
water running in their home, they put out
a sign so people can come to fill up their
ugs and buckets.

It’s utterly amazingly that where I am there
has been no looting, no pushing in lines.
People leave their front door open, as it
is safer when an earthquake strikes.
People keep saying, “Oh, this is how
it used to be in the old days when
everyone helped one another.”

Quakes keep coming. Last night they
struck about every 15 minutes. Sirens
are constant and helicopters pass
overhead often.

We got water for a few hours in our
homes last night, and now it is for
half a day. Electricity came on this
afternoon. Gas has not yet come on.
But all of this is by area. Some people
have these things, others do not.
No one has washed for several days.
We feel grubby, but there are so much
more important concerns than that
for us now. I love this peeling away
of non-essentials. Living fully on the
level of instinct, of intuition, of caring,
of what is needed for survival, not just
of me, but of the entire group.

There are strange parallel universes
happening. Houses a mess in some
places, yet then a house with futons
or laundry out drying in the sun. People
lining up for water and food, and yet a
few people out walking their dogs. All
happening at the same time.

Other unexpected touches of beauty
are first, the silence at night. No cars.
No one out on the streets. And the
heavens at night are scattered with
stars. I usually can see about two,
but now the whole sky is filled. The
mountains are Sendai are solid and
with the crisp air we can see them
ilhouetted against the sky magnificently.

And the Japanese themselves are so
wonderful. I come back to my shack to
check on it each day, now to send this
e-mail since the electricity is on, and I
find food and water left in my entranceway.
I have no idea from whom, but it is there.
Old men in green hats go from door to
door checking to see if everyone is OK.
People talk to complete strangers asking
if they need help. I see no signs of fear.
Resignation, yes, but fear or panic, no.

They tell us we can expect aftershocks,
and even other major quakes, for another
month or more. And we are getting
constant tremors, rolls, shaking, rumbling.
I am blessed in that I live in a part of
Sendai that is a bit elevated, a bit more
solid than other parts. So, so far this
area is better off than others. Last night
my friend’s husband came in from the
country, bringing food and water.

Blessed again.

Somehow at this time I realize from
direct experience that there is indeed
an enormous Cosmic evolutionary step
that is occurring all over the world right
at this moment. And somehow as I
experience the events happening now
in Japan, I can feel my heart opening
very wide. My brother asked me if I felt
so small because of all that is happening.
I don’t. Rather, I feel as part of something
happening that much larger than myself.
This wave of birthing (worldwide) is hard, and yet magnificent.

Thank you again for your care and Love of me,

With Love in return, to you all,
Anne

A LETTER OF LOVE

Beloved,

I call you Beloved because you are BELOVED by me. I want
to express my gratitude to you for being a recipient of my newsletter
list and allowing me to share with you a small part of my life. I so
enjoy sharing the news that I discover and also the new things I have
become aware of. By allowing me into your life even if it is only
for a moment, you bestow upon me a great gift. A gift is truly
only a gift if it is accepted and you do that with such loving
acceptance.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Begin the day by loving yourself and then spread it around. There
are so many forms of love and they are all equally important. There
is the love for your mate, for your children, for your parents, for your
friends, for your pets and also your Creator. There is no law that says
you cannot love yourself, in fact, you need to begin by filling yourself
with that LOVE so you will have an abundance to give away. This is
a day to celebrate LOVE and not just a day for romantic love. Even
if you do not have a mate or partner, just think of all the people who
love you including the many spiritual beings who are always with you.

Here is how Valentine’s Day started, it is quite interesting .
The Ultimate Valentine

February 14th has always been held as the sacred day to celebrate

love. How did we come to this tradition?

History of Valentines

In ancient Rome the 14th of February was a celebration honoring
Juno, Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. This is the
equivalent of celebrating the Divine Mother or Divine Feminine
energy. The following day the Lupercian Festival was held in
honor of the God of Fertility. During these festivities young
men would choose the name of a single young woman from
a jar and would spend not only the festival time, but the
following year courting her. This often resulted in marriage.

When Claudius II became Emperor, however, all that changed.
Having difficulty recruiting young men as soldiers, he
determined they were unwilling to leave their sweethearts.
All engagements and marriages were canceled. Nonetheless,
a Catholic Bishop named Valentine, who understood the true
nature of love, began secretly marrying young couples. He
paid for his treasonous act with his life. The church later
renamed the celebration of the Divine Mother and it became
known as St. Valentine’s day.

I retell this story to point out the origin, which was based
entirely upon the union of the Divine Feminine and the
Divine Masculine in celebration of fertility and the
continued expression of love in new form. This rite of
union has been celebrated under different names in every
tradition world-wide. Whether one is honoring what
Valentine stood for, Juno, Beltane or the myriad other
rites, they each stand for this sacred union.

There is another wonderful thing going on today. A reason to be
here on Earth. If you do not make the world sound at noon today, j
just join in at anytime today that you are able and you will be joining
with multitudes around the world. Whenever you join in, it will be
noon somewhere and you will not be alone. Enjoy.

World Sound Healing Day: The Sound Heard Around the World.
Every February 14th, people throughout the planet join
together with their intentionalized sound to project a sonic
valentine of love & appreciation to Gaia, our Earth Mother.
We tone the heart sound “Ah” for a minimum of 5 minutes, and
of course longer if your schedule permits. Often people will
gather groups together and facilitate this toning experience
in their respective communities. If possible, we ask that
you take at least 5 minutes to tone at 12 noon Eastern time,
and as always, we encourage the sounding of the “Ah” by
yourself or with a group at any time during the course of
the day.

http://worldsoundhealingday. com/

On World Sound Healing Day, sound healers, meditators, peace
activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient
consciousness send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the
heart sound “AH” filled with the intention of Peace and
Love! (visit: www.healingsounds.com for more information
on this event and to download an “AH” sound you can tone
along with). This is an opportunity in which YOU can partake
in to assist Global Harmonization–the process of creating
harmony and peace on the Earth.
The event culminates at noon Eastern Time. That’s when
everyone will join together to send out healing sounds
together.
