BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF

Posted on by

Beloved,

The sun is out and the feeling of warmth penetrates my entire being. I don’t think I am truly happy unless I can be in the sun or at least see it. For me, it is a symbol of the greatest light there is and God pours it down on us all the time even when it is obliterated by the clouds. I know it is still there even if I can’t see it but my body doesn’t begin to smile until I actually see it. It seems to light everything up and I can see more clearly. Let us be like the sun and shine on all we come in contact with and the easiest way to do that is to smile. In my heart, I think that is the greatest way to give of our love and energy and every being responds to it. And…..most everyone will return a smile to you and then proceed to spread it around.

As I was on my way to the soul Light Expo, two young deer were just ambling down the road. They turned to look at me but still stayed in the road. Of course, I slowed and when I got a little closer, they each went on opposite sides of the street. Being curious of what they were trying to tell me other than not to rush around but just amble around, I looked into the Animal Speak book by Ted Andrews. A deer’s Keynote is: Gentleness and Innocence-Gentle Luring to New Adventure. These young ones were a perfect example of that. When deer show up in your life it is time to be gentle with yourself and others. A new innocence and freshness is about to be awakened or born. There is going to be a gentle, enticing lure of new adventures. When deer show up there is an opportunity to express gentle love that will open new doors to adventure for you. I will accept that with Grace and pass onto that opportunity of gentle love and adventure to you. The last few weeks have been anything but gentle adventures but adventures they were. It was up to me to accept those opportunities as gentle nudges to allow the old things or old ways to pass away and accept the new gentleness that is being offered. (Actually, these newsletters are easier for me with my new computer thanks to the help of a beloved friend).

The geese are back of course but out of all 17 geese, there is only one pair that has babies and there is only three babies whereas the other years there were much more. Perhaps it is because the lake will only support so many and there are many more adults now. I have another critter in my yard which I believe to be a raccoon. It threw down my birdfeeder twice so my son screwed it into the tree and then one morning I got up and the Baltimore Orioles feeder was down on the ground as well as the hook. I went out to look and it was sparkly clean, no jelly at all in the feeder. I suspected it was my critter again and sure enough when I went on Google (which works so much better on this computer), I found many have written about the raccoon’s love of jelly. My son has let me borrow the heart trap to see if I can catch it but so far, the marshmallow covered with jelly disappeared without trapping it. It could have been another small animal that ate it and their weight did not trigger the trap to shut. This morning, I trapped a squirrel that was eating the bare faced peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had placed there. Boy was he ever happy to see that door open. I don’t think I have ever seen him run so fast before. I just may give up on the trap and buy an electronic sound thing that keeps him away. I am just not sure if it will be effective or if it will disturb my birds. Saga to continue.

What freedom really feels like! It comes in many forms but this makes me ever grateful to be an American. My freedom is kayaking; I do not need to use my legs, only my arms. It is not busy as long as it is during the week. I feel so free and it is so wonderful to connect with my neighbors that I don’t usually run into any other way. What makes you feel as free as this lion?

There is still many more life forms to discover but this surprised me. Have you ever heard of Undersea Crop Circles? Check this out and see new life that has been discovered.

What a winner! I believe this is the freedom you can give yourself. Do what you do because it is what you WANT to do and watch it spread like a virus.

How have you navigated this month’s full moon? It brings a lot of adventuresome emotions into play within all of your relationships. Remember to be gentle with yourself and others like the deer showed me. A heads-up for what is to come in the next few months.

I am including Lee Harris’ June Forecast as it explains a lot of what is happening and I feel it would be of great importance to you at this time.

LAUGHINGLY DEALING WITH MERCURY RETROGRADE

Posted on by

Beloved,

I apologize for last week’s newsletter, it was not as professional as I would have liked. I really hope you took the opportunity to listen and download that angelic music directly from the heavens above. It certainly was an energetic download on Pentecost for all of us whether you felt it or not. I felt it was so important that I scrambled to get it to you in time.

Whew! It has been a high activity of Mercury Retrograde for me the last week and a half. You know what Mercury Retrograde means don’t you? All of communication and its devices are scrambled, much like wires that got tangled. What a journey to choose, buy and set up a computer. I am grateful that although I was experiencing many laughable and challenging moments, not everyone is affected to the same degree…….only those who were along for my ride. I did my due diligence and went to Staples to check out what was being offered and to try to decide just what kind of computer did I want and need. Windows or a Mac? A small tablet? A large One in All? One with touch screen or one without? Windows 7 (yes they still have them but I was looking for a windows 10)? I discovered if I purchased a Windows 8.1, I could get a free upgrade in the fall when the 10 comes out.

I wrote down all the numbers and even went to Walmart to see what they offered. I came home and called a very dear friend who is computer savvy and Barry checked them out on the computer because I could not possibly remember what all the specifications were especially since I did not know what they meant. He patiently gave me a quick lesson in RAM and GB’s and helped me make the decision. I then called Staples the next day only to find out that they did not have any in stock and it would take 5 days to have it shipped and, ready to laugh, I found out later that they were not available online????? So I verified with another store an hour away that they indeed had one available and that they would be able to download all my files from my now crashed computer to my new one and it would be ready the next day.

So off I went with my old computer and my charge card. I left early to get there early and it was only 1pm and since they have service techs available for 24 hours a day, there should be no problem. After I purchased it I was told that they would try to have it ready for me the next day but it was not a guarantee, they only guarantee it in three days. Now starts the fun, they would call me when it was ready. Have you had to sit and wait for something you really need? It does try your patience doesn’t it? I called at noon and was told that it had not even been started but it might be ready around 3pm.

It seems Staples has a national contract with a company that has many techs doing the work. All the stores call in to these techs and get in cue, which means each call waits in line for the next available. Imagine the whole country calling that company; you can imagine how busy it is. And….if there is an error in transmission; you need to get back in cue again. Would you like another chuckle, the company is called The Matrix.

I left early as I needed to go in that direction to go to Mass so I thought I could pick it up either before the 5:30pm Mass or afterwards. I stopped and checked in with them and it still had not even been put in cue. I told them I would call after Mass. When I called after Mass, they told me it still was not done. It seems that it is a smaller store which does not have many techs and it does not have the power of the larger store so it takes much longer to transmit info via the computer to the Matrix. They assure me they would have it ready tomorrow but could not guarantee it (3 days). I called the next day at 10am when they opened but no techs were available, they would not be in until noon. I called at 12:30pm and was told that they had not been able to download The Office but they had downloaded some free software that I would need any way. In the purchase of this service, I was entitled to 3 downloads and they had given me four, some of which I could have downloaded myself. I could not do the Office one without extra help but my friend had offered to help me when he found out what happened.

It was ready to go so I travelled to get it and when I got there, I was told that another tech found a way to download office so it was now in the process of doing that entire download but it was still slow in accomplishing it. Would you like to smile a little? Remember Mercury Retrograde. It seems when they tried to make a recovery disc with everything I would need in case this computer crashed, they were unable to. They tried 6 times and each time halfway through, the disc would be stopped so they would have to throw it away. They finally did the recovery information on a flash drive. They close at 7pm on Sunday and I finally left there WITH MY COMPUTER at 10 minutes before closing. I got home and did not even open it, I was wiped out. The next day, Barry called and helped me get it ready for me to start playing. Friends are so important and I relish mine.

During this entire process, I tried to keep my cool but I was physically and mentally tired. There was a part of me that kept chuckling at the scenarios that were occurring. Have you ever watched a sitcom on TV and laughed yourself silly as you relate to the drama. The part of me that was laughing at me was having one hell of a good time. I am proud of myself that I could just let that part of myself have fun while my other parts were experiencing a great deal of frustration. It is more frustrating when you don’t know what you need to know about what you are doing. I am sure you can relate. I sincerely hope that your time in this Mercury Retrograde is much easier yet I learned a great deal that I did not know before.

Here is an article by Neale Donald Walsh which is so explicit in what Communication was in the past and all the way to the present. It gives a lot of food for thought and a reminder of:”This too will pass”.

I will be working an Expo this Sunday, May 31st. I had wanted to let you know last week, but unable to so I am hoping you can make it anyway. Here is the info.

DON’T SELL YOURSELF SHORT

Posted on by

Beloved,

As I lay in bed yesterday morning, I was feeling apprehension. I was about to embark on a solo adventure where things could happen that I did not expect. I was feeling fear, not terrifying fear but a fear of the unknown. It sounds ominous doesn’t it? I knew that I did not have to go since I only made the commitment to myself and no one else would be affected. But something I have garnered from living these many years was that I would not let fear stop me. It was uncomfortable right now but I could do it, I could silence the feeling of fear I was feeling and feel the vulnerability. I could just let the eagerness of something new to be there. Since I have my scooter, it has led me to a freedom I have not known for 12 years but it has also led me into feelings of being childlike again. I have the anticipation of a child but as an adult, I know from experience what can happen when you launch out into brand new territory. How would I be able to handle unexpected terrain and bumps along the way? I have been eagerly looking forward to going to the Brimfield Antique show which encompasses a whole town full of booths and antiques. People come from all over the country either as a vendor or as a buyer. Thousands of people descend upon this small town where there are fields set up for all the tents and merchandise that has come from all over.

It is one thing to walk around and be able to look at everything that catches your eye. It is another thing to be on a small scooter which by its very size makes you lower in size than everything else around you. What a perspective it gives you. You feel like a child looking UP at all around you and trying to navigate around all these legs without bumping into them or having them bump into you. The people are so engrossed with looking that they don’t even see you because you are shorter. It requires a great deal of patience and waiting for the right opening to go either around them or through them. People keep apologizing to me for waiting for them to see that I am right there, waiting for them to move. I believe that this is an experience that has to felt because I was never truly aware of how people in wheelchairs or small people like children have to trust that they will not be run over. In larger wheelchairs, the person still needs patience but at least they are wider and higher so they are seen more readily.

Then….the ground under your scooter is another story. There are dirt paths, gravel paths and paths with much larger stones on it. Of course, there are paths made of grass also which turned out to be the easiest way for me to go. But….they intermingle so you never know when you are going to run into a path that has the larger gravel which turns your scooter into a cement mixer as it shakes and vibrates so much, you feel like you are in a mixer. I am chuckling as I think about it now and I did chuckle yesterday too. I had no choice but to go through the rough patches just to get back to the smoother ones. I know now the difference between the ride of an all-terrain vehicle and a bicycle. I lasted an hour and then I left because there was no way of knowing when or where you would be in rough ground. It was quite a learning experience and I now know to look for paved paths before planning an outing. Another benefit is my butt is sore like I have been exercising. It must have been all the bouncing around but I will still take that benefit. I got exercise without even knowing it. I am still looking forward to going to the Big E this fall where I know most of the roads are paved. I miss the baked potatoes in the Maine building and also the spun maple syrup. I am not giving up. What a ride back to childhood and vulnerability! My scooter was initiated and held up remarkably well.

I am sure that the ride to the 5th dimension will be equally as exciting but hopefully a lot smoother. This just came in from Patricia Cota- Robles and it is so eye opening and heart opening to know what we have been up without even being aware of it. This is something we can all participate even if we do not make the trip to Tucson.

What power do you have to make a change? Dave’s Bank could not have done what he did without his constituents. What or who are you a constituent of? Honor who you are, you make a difference every time you purchase. You vote for whatever or whoever every time you buy something. Don’t sell yourself short.
