MONDAY OFFERS RARE OPPORTUNITY

Posted on by

Beloved,

This newsletter was delayed because of an internet connection that was not working. I am on vacation in a condo in a warmer climate yet events are transpiring to make me be quiet and reflective. This past week has been a series of delays: telephones not working either receiving or transmitting. Losing the key to my scooter, trying to locate someone who could make me a new one and after 3 tries at 3 stores that made keys, a man took pity on me and smiled as he gave me a business card and told me to go there. An angel? You bet. I went to that locksmith who made me one that would not fit so I needed to take my scooter to him the next day so he could make one by having the lock there to fit it but I have the key now.

I am craving light as there seems to be so little in here so I bought the daylight bulbs to try and bring in more light. I was depressed as many memories were coming up to be looked at. I listened to a talk given by Panache Desai and I felt much lighter. I decided to buy the retreat he was offering which is 7 nights of his live transmissions as well as daily meditations and the downloads of all that is offered so you can listen over and over again when the world gets too heavy. The title of the program is ILLUMINATION. Just a minute after I purchased and was listening to the audio of his directions for the retreat, the maintenance man showed up. The light over the stove and sink had gone out and the deadbolt was not working properly so maintenance came up to fix these things. When he was able to finally get the dome off the light, all three bulbs were dark? I bet that only one was working and that was why it was so dim in here and when he put three new bulbs in, it was so bright it made my heart leap with joy. You probably cannot tell but I need more light in the winter, they call that the Sad syndrome, because there is much less daylight in winter.

I started to giggle and then laugh. Panache’s retreat is called ILLUMINATION and here I got the physical manifestation of illumination after being so challenged with the absence of light. To me, it was such a visible sign and confirmation of what I needed most, and immediately after I made the decision to transform my densities that it made me laugh. We all need illumination in all of its varied forms. Do synchronicities make you laugh? Here is the link in case you are interested.

Wouldn’t you know that the winter in Wales is very mild although the lake is still frozen? Mother Nature sure loves to fool me, I wanted to get out of shoveling snow and here it is being a great winter in my neck of the woods. Here is a different aspect on the secret vibrations of snowfall. I will look at snow differently from now on.

Wouldn’t you know that the elevator is going to be down for repair for five days which means I would not be able to leave this 3rd floor condo for five days? Talk about having challenges when you only wish warmth and rest. With my scooter being a necessity for me, I cannot use it without the use of the elevator. The owners of this condo arranged and paid for me to move to a 1st floor condo so I will not be stuck in my room for all of that time. Angels? You bet.

When you pack you try to remember all that you need. Guess what I forgot to pack this time. My passwords folder! My son Steve was gracious and faxed it over to me but since I always use purple pens, the purple ink did not transmit so my corrections or additions did not show on the faxed copies. Steve again came to my rescue and mailed them to me. Would you like a laugh? We have all experienced this but I like the humorous expression that is offered here.

While I had heard of Bruce Lipton, every time I tried to absorb his wisdom, it just would not compute for me. Perhaps I was not ready. This talk that he has given on Change makes so much sense to me, it answered a lot of my questions and brought “illumination” to questions I did not know I had.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Posted on by

Beloved,

Yesterday, I kept pondering what I would write in my newsletter. I usually do not know ahead of time as I just ask guidance to come through me to allow me to inspire you to love yourself and yet understand this human condition a little more, sometimes with humor. It was a little puzzling to me that I kept asking myself what I would write. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it.

I woke this morning from a horrific nightmare and although I awoke from the dream, I could not seem to wake up from the feelings that were generated. We all have our fears and they usually stem back to something that happened in childhood. I usually sleep very well and bad dreams are rare but this morning, the feelings are so vivid that it is another opportunity to look at what happened and release those feelings that I no longer need. One gift I received was the awareness of the childhood incident that evidently was embedded in my psyche.

My nightmares are usually about me getting lost and not knowing where to go, feeling trapped in a situation that I cannot remedy. When I was 6 or 7, I went on a trip with my class to Bennefort, Maine to check out a school where we not only got our high school education but also training for the nunnery profession. Ever since I learned about Jesus, I fell in love with Him and wanted nothing more than to be with him for the rest of my life. Of course, at the same time, I had a knowing that my mission was to be a mother and I also wanted that profession. At that early age, I could not figure anything out so I just went with my feelings. I was in the school bus with all the kids and my dad was driving the nuns from my school in a separate car.

On the trip back, several of us children needed to go to the bathroom and as we were in a city, the bus stopped and we needed to cross the busy street to find a restaurant that held a bathroom. Of course, an adult accompanied us children. I was last in the line waiting for an open stall (are there not always lines of females in the bathroom?) When I came out, there was nobody I knew there. I rushed outside and still there was no one waiting for me. I panicked, of course, and walked around in a circle trying to tell myself that someone would come for me. I was absolutely terrified even though there were many people on the sidewalk but I did NOT know any of them. My mother had always told me that if I got lost, to just STAY right where I was and they would find me. I knew the bus had been across the street so maybe I should go there but then with my mom’s warning in my head, I stayed right where I was left, in front of the restaurant.

Because I was with the children, my father was unaware that I was not on the bus and with all the other children; no one noticed I was not there. Eventually, they discovered it and my dad and the nuns in the car started to look for me. They kept going back to where the bus was and with the traffic never saw me on the opposite side of the street. It took 1-2 hours for them to finally notice me. Do you know how long that is to a child who feels abandoned and terrified?

When they finally found me, I got a severe scolding from my dad; he blamed me for not staying where the bus had been parked. Of course, now, as an adult, I understand it was his fear speaking but at the moment I felt abandoned again by my dad. He never even hugged me or said he was happy he found me.

So…most of my nightmares are about being lost and not knowing the right path to freedom. Last night I again dreamed of not being able to find my way and although I went through many scenarios in the dream which made me physically sweat as I tried to plow my way through a field of tough grass almost shoulder level. Again, I needed to go to the bathroom so I went into a stall and a young boy kept crying to his mom about a “kaun” that he had left in the stall I was in. I suddenly realized he was talking about a “Leprechaun” since I saw the stuffed puppet hanging on a hook. I rushed out to give it to him but could not find him. I kept looking then realized that I had left my shoes and pocket book back in the stall so I started to try to return to the bathroom but I could not find it. Again, in my dreams, I am late for something I was supposed to do. Last night, I had only been outside on a work break for work, so I was way overdue to be back at work and I know my supervisor (male) was furious that I was not there. Why do dreams always seem so real when we are in them? Is it another reality?

One of the fears that I am releasing is the panic when I am not on time for some occasion. In real life, I am usually early so as not to be late. I received an awareness of why I always do that by having this nightmare. Now I can face this facet that was created as a young child and I can now comfort my small inner child in her panic and fear. I not only woke up from my nightmare but I have a new awakening of one of my greatest fears. You are never too old to find out something new about yourself.

What are your nightmares about? My husband used to say I could pass up everything but a bathroom. Perhaps I was trying to prove to my little girl that she was safe because I was protecting her?

This message has deeper meaning for me now, after that dream. Perhaps it will help you find peace and grace.

Look outside to see this marvelous phenomenon. It is worth waking up a little earlier to get to see this.

This made me laugh. Even as I could not understand each word said, the laughing and joy is contagious.

Were you alive when Betty White was born? Is there anyone who does not know who Betty White is? She is quite an icon and I hope to be like her when I get to her age. She IS ageless.

SICK & TIRED? “STOP IT”

Posted on by

Beloved,

The rain is pouring, a real downpour. There are many huge whitecaps on the water. It is the kind of day that you want to stay in bed. As I was watching the water, a thought came to mind. After the storm is a good time to search the beach for the gifts that the storms bring to the surface for you to discover. Can you relate that to your life? There are definitely gifts after the storm when we finally relax and just take in and process all that happened. This is the beginning of a new year yet we are still feeling the effects of the rush and hustle and bustle of the holidays. There seems to be letdown from being so busy as if we cannot remember what it felt like to just rest. As we rest we still feel jittery as if there is still something for us to DO. Remember that you are a human BEING not a human DOING.

When I finally allow myself to stop, breathe and just sit, my body and mind get so relaxed that I don’t want to move, or cook, or DO anything. I am chuckling as it happens often as I am watching TV. I even find myself watching something that I don’t care about because I don’t even want to move my arm and hand to get the remote. I seem to be in another zone. Those two scenarios are opposites, thank God for the in-between where you feel more normal. Winter is a hard time to relax although I believe it was created to give us an excuse to just stay home and vegetate. Can you give yourself permission to just BE?

This made me laugh as it really is so simple but we humans complicate it. We are responsible for our own happiness. No one can be happy for us, it us up to us to choose which state we want to be in. There are times you may want to which is OK and other times when we are fed up with being sick and tired. Remember the words: So, just STOP IT.

Bob Newhart’s therapy….Stop It!

With the elections coming, the rhetoric from the candidates is heating up. I have decided I do not want to hear all the accusing tones that is being spread. Abraham has some good advice for this. I can find other excuses for being sick and tired but I will not use this one any longer:

Do you remember those glasses at the movie theatre that lets you watch 3D movies? Those glasses make you feel like you are actually living in what is being shown? Who would have thought that doctors would be able to use them to actually save a little baby’s life? This is combining the past with the present, the mundane with technology. Imagine using a cardboard box with the smart phone to be able to fine tune a surgical operation. This gives me such hope for our future.

Another phenomenal sign of what the future will hold for humanity. The choices we have and will have.

What a special idea? Imagine the loving energy in that clothing and the joy it brings to the parents to have something for their little one that represents true love.

There is someone who is meant to resonate with each person on Earth. This will bring a smile to your face and a warm feeling in your heart.
