ARE YOU SAFE?

Beloved,

12-12 rolled around and I can’t say I felt anything special. The day was OK and the energy was no different than normal. On 12-14, two days later, it was a different story. When I opened my blinds to the lake and beach, I noticed the orange safety cones that were on the raft had been thrown onto the thin ice that now covered the lake. I shifted my gaze to where the raft was supposed to be but only a green square appeared to me. The raft has been pushed or dragged or??? onto that thin ice and was sitting on it. I knew that if it did not get moved back onto the grass (the beach is 2/3 sand and 1/3 grass) that the ice would melt from the sun that day and then refreeze making it impossible to get it back to safety.

So I called Janelle, the President of the Lake Land Beach club and explained what I was seeing so she could get some male help to get the raft back up where it belongs. Since the beach is right in front of me, I can see things others cannot so I keep an eye on it. She said: “Mary, don’t you know what happened down there on the beach last night?” “No”, I said, “what happened?”
I sat stunned while she told me that there had been black helicopters with no lights, police in gear with flashlights and also police dogs combing the beach, my yard and the surrounding neighborhood. I had heard nothing and with my blinds down, I had seen nothing. It seems there had been a home invasion a couple of streets away and the police were searching for the armed masked men. Now I was feeling vulnerable especially since I had been ignorant of the entire goings on. Since this was the beginning of my day, I had not done my meditations or prayers before breakfast so I went to my meditation chair and altar to do this. As I was in meditation, I suddenly began to laugh out loud. It was the sudden realization that I had been safe and sound in my home while my neighbors were going through a lot of trauma. We are told over and over again that we are protected but do we really believe that? I guess I had not totally trusted that truth but I could deny it no longer. I had been and am in my own little world, safe and protected no matter what happens around me. Wow, is that a heart and eye opener or what.

I then went to the Post Office to find out what they knew and then proceeded to the Town Hall to get what I hoped was the truth of what had happened. You know how a story gets entangled when it is spread from one person to the other. The Police Chief is supposed to call me but he hasn’t yet. What I have been told is that it was a home invasion by masked men with guns. It appears that it was a house that had a reputation for dealing drugs and that is what they were looking for. The police finally had caught one of them in a neighboring town. There is no news on TV or even in the papers so what really happened, no one knows.

My neighbors had all different experiences. Janelle had opened her door to ask police what was going on and was sternly told to go back inside and lock her door. Her two little girls were frightened so she did her best to calm them but they had just learned a lesson in fear. The closer neighbors were even more traumatized since it was so close to their home and they will experience fear for a much longer time. A friend halfway across town received a call from another friend to lock all her doors and stay inside. Fear really explodes and shoots its energy far and wide.

All these things happening right around me and I was at peace in my home and slept peacefully through the night. I was protected and so are you. My home is a safe haven for me and that was reflected back to me by this episode. If your home is filled with fear whether it is fear from neighbors, family or even subscribed to by watching TV, it shows up until you find peace inside of you and spread that instead of fear. I implore you to make your home, your surroundings and most of all yourself free of fear.

Sooo, even though I had not felt anything on 12/12, the energies of that day were still working. Here is a message from Shanta Gabriel on the energies of that day that are still around you, are still working and what they mean.

We all know what Christmas is all about don’t we? Here is Abraham Hicks with a heart opening explanation.

Is it too late to view a Thanksgiving miracle? Love is Love no matter when it is shared.

I have been talking a lot about 12-12, how about we transpose the numbers a bit and talk about 12-21, the solstice since it will happen before we next get together.

ARE YOU OUR FUTURE?

Beloved,

Please join me in welcoming the beautiful souls that have joined this newsletter group. It was awesome to meet them at the Natural Living Expo this past weekend. Thanks to all of my followers who came to see me, get a reading or just get a hug. It warms my heart right down to my toes and beyond. I met so many diverse beings who all carry their puzzle piece to this vast puzzle called Earth. You know that your unique piece of the puzzle will only fit in a certain place within the puzzle. Nobody can take your place or offer to others the love from your mission and you cannot take anyone else’s place either. I am waiting for the last piece to fall into place and then we will ALL see what God, Higher Power, All That Is, Creator, etc. created and WHY.

For those who were at the Expo, I was sent a short video of some of the people who were there. Perhaps you will find yourself or someone you know. It is only 2 minutes long and a picture of me is at 55-57 on the bar, perhaps it is you I am giving you a reading and healing to? Sending it for your enjoyment or curiosity.

I need to admit that last week’s newsletter contained some fear and it was mine. I was responding to the deep sadness that humanity was feeling as we all were hoping for some miracle to happen pertaining to the elections. When I received the email about the petition concerning the Electoral Vote that morning, I reacted from the feeling that if I did not know that the Electoral voters had not voted yet that there was still a chance that the outcome might change, I wanted to spread that knowledge far and wide. I did not take the time to breathe or go deeper or pray on it. For that I apologize to all of you. My motto is to accept what is and look for the brighter side of which there is always one. I guess a little piece of me forgot that and simply reacted. I guess I pulled a “Trump”. I still deeply believe that the electoral vote is way out of date and does not reflect the true popularity vote and I would love to see it repealed.

Did you watch the 60 Minutes Show where Trump and his family were interviewed? I sat there with my mouth wide open. Where did this man come from? Why did we not see this side of him during the 18 months of his travels and speaking? I kept shaking my head and asking from the depths of my soul, who this was? This man will not do everything in the way I would like, but he will do it thoughtfully and with respect for others with no denigrating the ones who oppose him. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train.

Steve Rother and the Group have a message for Earth with the meaning behind all of these activities.

My little dobblers as I call them are here. They are the small transient ducks that use my lake as a resting feeding ground and their way South. They have finally come and I laugh as I watch them going up and down into the water to get their food. They are so fast that they are hard to count because they are not all up on top of the water at the same time. This morning I counted 18 of the Hooded Mergansers. These are my favorite because the males have like a white hood on the top of their heads and they are much easier to spot than their brown female counterparts. I look forward to seeing them each fall and each spring. They remind me so much of childhood that it makes me smile. Remember that a smile is very similar to a yawn as both open passageways to the brain with their special chemicals. They are feel good actions we can take as our body does not know the difference between a fake smile and yawn than real ones. So it responds positively and guess what? I no longer get insulted when people yawn because now I know that they are giving me a gift of the moment to imitate them and give my body some relaxation. They are both contagious so spread the peace and joy everywhere you go.

I know that a good deed spreads love to others but I still am pleasantly surprised when it blossoms into something even bigger. I have so much hope for our future with these young ones being our future.

Our youth are showing us older ones what must be done to bring peace. When I went to China, I was on a train not only with goats and chickens but with ordinary Chinese people. I did not have google but I had a book that would translate our languages. I sat with a mother and 2 teenage children and we “spoke’ to each other by finding and pointing at words in the others’ language. It was so much fun and I learned as well as they did. I still do not know how to use google like that but if I ever go to a country with a different language, I will definitely learn Google. It would be so much more fun. Enjoy this video.

APPRECIATE LIFE

Beloved,

Well, Mother Nature had a surprise for us. It is not even November yet we had a snow storm yesterday which shut power off to many homes because it was wet snow which makes great snowballs but also sticks to everything. Many trees still had their leaves and with the snow, the limbs were much heavier than normal so they cracked. I think they really should put our power lines underground to protect them but then they might be hard to fix. Some genius will come up with something I am sure or perhaps all of our houses will have solar power and will not need the power lines. Winter would be a lot more fun to enjoy without the threat of loss of power.

I’m aware that my newsletter is later than usual but I just could not make myself get up out of bed this morning. Perhaps the storm had something to do with it but I am ever so grateful that I could give myself this extra treat of just lying in bed with nothing to do and nowhere to go and just BE. No noise, no sounds, just me and the warm bed giving me the comfort that I seemed to need this morning. This respite was not planned it just happened. How many mornings do you allow yourself to just BE instead of thinking of what you have to do or where you need to be. Try it, give yourself one morning, you deserve it.

This story touched me, he could not do what I did this morning and yet he always smiled and never complained. I don’t think I could do what he did and he makes me feel so grateful for what I have.

We got a mini taste of winter because this morning when I finally got up, the snow was all gone and we had 2-3 inches. The temperatures have cooperated with the fantasy of winter but we are supposed to go up to the 60 degrees in a few days. I, for one, will take as much warm weather as is given. I am not looking forward to winter and this small episode makes me appreciate much more the warmer weather yet to come. Has it put you into the Christmas Spirit? Halloween is yet to come,so enjoy all the holidays regardless of weather. They are special times for everyone. Our children savor them so much, remember our young times? Children, with their innocence, give us so much joy with their pure gusto for the traditions and celebrations that we create.

I received this email today and I have a special spot in my heart for the Story Corps who came to my town and gave everyone the opportunity to tell their story and get the gift of a DVD for free. I took advantage of the opportunity and my son Bruce asked me questions which I then answered. What a legacy to leave to your family. I wanted to share this organization in case you have never heard of it and they are giving you small tastes of what has been already done. Check it out! Enjoy! Celebrate!

This subject is dear to my heart. I too used the artificial sweeteners and they created havoc with my body. Because so many of you are unaware of these ingredients in the food you are putting into your body, I wanted to give you a heads up. I, personally use Natural Stevia in liquid form. Some Stevia products give an aftertaste so be careful to get the pure stuff so you will enjoy it.
