ALL IS WELL

Posted on by

Beloved,

I just returned yesterday from a cruise to Bermuda. This was after there was a direct hit to the tiny island. On the way, the water gave us a lot of swaying yet the island was minimally damaged. Just some trees that were still down but the only thing that seemed to affect us tourists was the offered activity of snorkeling. The hurricane stirred up the water so the fish were harder to see and I think many fish had not come back out of hiding yet. My wonderful roommate, Joyce, did the snorkeling and remarked on it.

It was a fabulous cruise which even offered bumper cars. Do you remember them? Even though the waiting line went three quarters around the room, each person either watching or out on the floor in the cars were smiling. What an experience just to see everybody laughing and smiling. The kids loved to be able to drive themselves if they were at least eight years old but even the young ones with a parent beside them were joyful. Of course, I went on them and it brought memories of these bumper cars when I was young. Who would believe that a huge ship, Anthem of the Seas, would have bumper cars?

The food was so good that I gained 4 pounds in 4 days. What a treat not to have shop for the food, cook the food or clean up after yourself. Being a Celiac, after dinner I got to see the next day menu so I could pick what I wanted and they would make sure that it was gluten free. I had lobster tail, filet mignon, prime beef and salmon and dessert especially crème boulet gluten free. They had at least 6 hot tubs which is one of my very favorite things to do. The shows were fantastic; one of which had people coming from the ceiling and also from below the floor.

The only I missed the most was the quiet or silence. There is music playing everywhere and with 5,000 people, the noise level of the people talking was much higher than normal. It is like being at a party for 4 days straight and isn’t that what a cruise is all about. I did notice one small area on one of the decks that was so much quieter but I never found out why. It was so obviously less noisy when you got to that space that you really noticed.

I even got to join a tour around the whole island which was made especially for the handicapped. Our guide was so savvy and that bus being smaller than the larger tour buses, we were able to travel down streets that they could not go on so we were able to see more of Bermuda. We were only docked for two days so if we were to go back, there is still much more to see.

I laughed at the people with sea legs because as I was sitting on my scooter most of the time, guess what got the sea experience? In fact, today I still feel like I am on the water. I am experiencing the waves and the feeling that I am still on board the ship is more prevalent when I sit or close my eyes. It is nice to carry the cruise experience with you for so long. There was more activity that occurred but I am sharing only the highlights.

This is a favorite saying of me to me. When things get too chaotic, it is very calming because it is truth. Such as when the beginning of my journey to the cruise ship had many setbacks and the bus was delayed by people who were late and even after we set off, two suitcases had been left behind so we needed to wait again before we could begin. Some were upset but knowing All is Well, calmed me as I realized at a deeper level that there was a very good reason for the delay even though I did not know what that was, perhaps we avoided a serious accident by not being in the exact place we were expected to be at a particular time. Whatever, we arrived at our destination safely and all was well. I also use a shorter version and say Oh Well to myself when something is happening that I did not expect or choose.

I bet there are thousands of stories like this during and after the hurricane. Isn’t humanity a treasure to behold.

An opportunity to experience a life class with the Archangels. I know that we all have angels that make our life experiences much smoother and the Archangels are also with us. I have not read it through but I intend to.

ARE YOU A MIRROR?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Wow, these are powerful days. Starting 10/13/16; we will have 5 days of Geo-Magnetic Storms emanating from the sun… then a 5 day breather … and then 9 more days of Geo-Magnetic Storms. This explains a lot of what is happening within us and in our world. The full moon is included in this energy and it is full tomorrow night. Are your animals acting strange? Give yourself the gift of not getting upset at situations or people as these too will change.

I am so fortunate to live where I can see the water and all the beautiful trees resplendent in their fall colors. When I went kayaking, it felt like I had entered the world of Dorothy of Oz. The water was as still as glass so the beautiful colors were doubled as the water reflected all the houses and the beautiful background of fall trees in full bloom. I am used to seeing across the lake at the view there but in the kayak, I was able to see the opposite side, mine, in a rare view of mirrored beauty.

I don’t know if I can explain just how I felt when I came closer to the road that was at one end of the lake. It was like I was in a place where I could not rely on my vision as what I was seeing was in complete denial of reality. I could see the road, the bank of the lake and what appeared to be the top of the water. Yet, I could not make out where the lake water began or ended. It felt like I was gliding on what was not actually there according to my eyes. You know the expression: “Don’t believe everything you see.” It was a weird period of time where my rational mind and physical eyes were completely turned upside down. I actually kayaked very slowly to the edge of the lake as there appeared to be no water, just the trees and the road. ???? What a feeling of non-reality it is to not be able to trust what you are seeing.

As I was kayaking around the lake and enmeshed in the sound of quiet and the beauty of the colors that were being drawn out by the sun, I kept being drawn into the world of mirrors (water) where what you see is not actually real. Have you ever noticed that other people will mirror to you what you are feeling? What we see is actually in us but mirrored out to the world. No one can see in the world what they don’t have within them. If you see a quality in someone, it is because you have that same quality within you. You cannot see what you are not. When you receive a compliment it is because the other person recognizes in you the same gift or value that she/he has. When you are drawn to compliment someone, it is because you see in them what is in you so you acknowledge it. We are reflections of one another.

What an experience of my being able to see both the object and what was mirrored yet they appeared to be one. And… one was totally physical and the other was a mirror image that was not quite as perfectly formed as the original. Mirrors can distort reality where you shake your head in awe and then need to focus on which one is perfectly clear and which one is slightly blurred so the mind can decide which one is the real one. I can’t wait for the day when all of humanity is at peace within themselves so that is what is mirrored in the world. For now, find your peace and tolerance so that you may radiate that gift to the world.

Could this have been the very beginning of our confusion with reality?

This is the first time I have heard Jennifer Hoffman and I was impressed by her simplicity and honesty. She lets us all off the hook of always trying and not seeming to achieve what we want.

The Iroquois people have lived in the northern areas around Ontario, Canada and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years. “Iroquois” actually refers to a language rather than a particular tribe, and prior to European colonization, the Iroquois consisted of at least five tribes.

The soup below is called “Three Sisters Harvest Vegetable Soup”, a name that holds much meaning. In many Native American cultures, the “three sisters” refer to corn, squash, and beans – three key crops that have been planted alongside one another for over 5,000 years in a technique called companion planting.

The “three sisters” support one another as they grow. The corn (or maize) provides a pole-like structure for the beans to crawl up, while the beans fertilize the soil beneath with nitrogen (a compound that the other two plants need in order to live). The third sister, squash, grows in clusters around the group and blots out most of the sunlight, preventing weeds from moving in on the dance.

Why can we not “companion” our crops so we will not need fertilizers and bug killers thus saving the human body from so many ills? What an example these Iroquois left us. Isn’t it about time that we look back and take the good and wise examples of our forebears? If you would like the recipe, just email me and I will send it to you.

Don’t you wish you had a baby sister who could make you feel good while doing absolutely nothing. You can. You do. You radiate your love wherever you go even when you are not aware of it.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE?

Posted on by

Beloved,

How have the energies been treating you? Circumstances have had me running at full speed and feeling like I don’t have enough time to get everything done that needs doing. Of course, as we all know if we just take a slow breath, all things seem to take care of themselves and in the right timing. Boy, they have been powerful and the eclipse yesterday set unusual events in motion. Have you noticed things happening that you would never expect or that do not make sense?

Yesterday, my cruise roommate and I met at a library with our computers so we could choose which activities we wanted to do both off ship and on board. We live an hour apart so this seemed simpler (huh?) than trying to do it over the phone which we had actually tried. She is much more computer savvy than I so is much quicker. Our computers connected to the WiFi and I got on the website with her guidance. She then tried to connect her computer and it just kept trying to connect to the same website I was on and we finally realized that it was not going to. My screen, on the other hand, which was on the website, would not allow me to rest at the top of the page. No matter what we did, it would fall to the bottom of the page and would not rest anywhere else. After a half hour, we finally gave up and I think it is because the website must have been down but who knows. This morning, my computer screen has a circle on it with writing telling me to TAP HERE and get a message about people I do not even know. ????? I am glad that it disappears when I get onto my email or a website, it is only there when I open it up.

Last night, when I got to the senior center to participate in my Pitch league card game, I reached for my purse. My bottle of water was sitting upright in it with no cap???? I know I filled it before I left home and put the cap on and sat it upright in my purse. What was going on? So I began to scour my purse for the cap and it was not in there. I could not find it anywhere and decided to bring my water with me being careful not to spill it. Then I reached for the $20 bill I had put in my shirt pocket and it was missing? I then started to laugh and giggle. My teammates were going by my car giving me strange looks. Here I was by myself and laughing for no reason. I opened my window and explained and they just shook their heads in bewilderment.

I decided to look one more time for the cap after I had stopped laughing and there it was. It had fallen between the seats. But who or what had unscrewed the cap so that it might fall there? And without spilling a drop of water anywhere? I started to giggle again, reached in my wallet for another $20 and got out of the car. When I turned back, there was a $20 bill sitting on my seat. How did that happen? Finally, I said to one of the card players laughingly that someone up there was having fun with me. We both shook our heads but I never got upset. In fact, it set the tone for the evening. Everyone one was in an especially good mood and there was a lot of laughing.

There are 6 tables with 4 players at each. Suddenly I looked at the table to my left and saw to my amazement that the two men sitting and playing cards at that table were bitter enemies. And not only that, they were partners, which of course they did not choose to be. We each pick a card numbered 1-6 to see which of the 6 tables we will be sitting at. We do not choose our partners or the other two players in all fairness. I looked at my partner who was aware of their feelings for each other and we had another chuckle. God or the Universe has a lot of fun with us humans and has quite a sense of humor. Don’t you think? And we think we are in control!

After bring some of my own humor into this newsletter, I would like to share a wonderful opportunity with you. I believe I have mentioned Barry Costa, my computer nerd friend who is always so helpful to me with my foibles with the computer. Well, he has launched his own website https://fruitfulperspectives.com/art/
He is an artist who is inspired by what life offers to put it into artwork. His artwork is so inspiring that I only need to look at it to feel myself vibrate at a higher frequency. I have several as computer screens and two up on my wall as reminders when I am having a challenging day that there is a higher purpose for Life. They even bring a smile to my face as I feel the Love that was poured into them. He is offering digital downloads of his artwork that can be used as computer screens on your laptop, desktop, tablet, phone or any digital device. Also being offered are real metallic paintings of his artwork, T-shirts, phone covers, etc. Check out his website at https://fruitfulperspectives.com/art/ Read the perspectives of each artwork and how he came to that understanding.

Do you feel like you are in a void or perhaps your world is in a void. There are gifts to be had and opportunities to smile and chuckle at humanity’s foibles.

Abraham is such an inspiration with the rainbow of “You must see the good part of life”. She brings clarity to our emotions.
