PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Beloved,

First, I would like to take a moment to remember that 14 years ago today, our whole country was in shock. Please join me in saying a brief prayer for all who were involved in the 9/11 tragedy. Lives were unalterably changed and America is stronger for having so many volunteers who rushed to the scene and the many who helped in the background. God Bless America.

This has been quite a week of learning new things, places and people. I went on a 5 day retreat titled “Soul Sisters” given at the Genesis House in Westfield by Edwina Gately. I knew no one including the facilitator but I was looking forward to being with females of like minds. It was kind of an initiation also for my scooter as I would be using it indoors as well as outdoors. I learned how to navigate doors yet I had so many door holders who were very gracious. I learned that my little scooter does well in the forest as long as there is a path and it held its balance quite well considering the many tree roots that it had to go over when there was no other way. When I got back from my jaunt, I realized that the jacket I had taken off was no longer in the basket in the back of my scooter. I figured it had bounced out as I was going over the tree roots. A beautiful young man went into the woods to check it out while I went the other way where the grass and roads where easier. When I could not locate it, I went back to the building and it was there waiting for me. He had found it.

Genesis House had provided me with a private room on the first floor as they had no elevator. It was one of two rooms that had its own bathroom for which I was so grateful. I even had three baths while I was there which is a treat as I only take Navy showers at home to conserve the water that flows into my tight tank.

I learned a lot about life over 2,000 years ago and how Catholicism began. Do you know that priests used to be married and that there were women priests? Edwina was such a wealth of information and she had us laughing so much as she took the roles of different people she has encountered in her life even speaking in their lingo. The fact that 2/3 of the people there were nuns (sisters) was quite an eye opener. I went to parochial school for 12 years so the habit of calling them Sister….was quite ingrained and an automatic habit. Speaking of habits, they did not wear any so it made it much easier to relate to them as just ordinary women. It was quite easy to call them by their first names. Such diversity among all of us and yet we were sisters at heart. This was not a religious retreat but a retreat that opened all of our minds to all possibilities. All of us are concerned with humanity and what we can do in our own small way to help Mother Earth and ALL of her inhabitants. I wish to thank all the religious who taught me about my religion, in fact, I learned more from them that I did with the priests. The priests are always busy with the running of the church but the people and children are touched and helped more by the females in the church. I am also grateful for the deepening awareness I now have from my retreat with my “soul sisters”.

Wednesday, 9/9 was quite a special day. I am going to give you an article that will speak to that and also clue you in to what is on the horizon.

8-8-8 MEANINGS & PURPOSE

Beloved,

Happy summer. I just got back from kayaking in my lake. It is a perfect day for it as the water is calmer and so are the winds. I do not kayak when it is windy or when there are a lot of speed boats or jet skis out there. I usually write my newsletter first and then go kayaking. Lately, by the time I have the time, the wind is up or the weekender people are out on the water. This morning even though I needed to make my yogurt first as it takes 10 hours to cook, when I was done the wind had still not come up so I “jumped” into my kayak for a journey around the lake. The water and the wind change depending on what end of the lake you are on. At one end, there are two coves that are as still as glass. So much so, that I can kayak through the clouds that are reflected on it. The other end of the lake usually has rougher waters and more wind. This morning I had the lake all to myself, not another boat to disrupt the peace of quiet or create waves. It is an adventure as well as a story book.

I cannot help but wonder about the people who were always using the lake when all of sudden, no boats are out at the docks and a few have not even put their docks out yet. There are more homes on the water for sale than I have ever seen before. Perhaps this is a sign of the economy. I know a few owners have passed away and it seems to be a long time before the legal system frees it up for anyone to buy. The beach right in front of my home is very quiet and perhaps when we are having a heat wave, more will come but mostly it is quiet. The ages of the children who used to play are now older and the young ones are not old enough to come alone and have to wait for an adult to bring them. Life on the lake is up and down just like life is. There are busy times and then there are quiet times. As the population ages, the scene changes again. I am ever so grateful to be here and able to partake in the gifts that being on the water bring.

In case you were not able to connect to Patricia Cota-Robles call yesterday, here is a link to it. It was quite powerful.

In this call, Patricia shared with us her latest update from the Divine Realms and then led us through a profoundly transformative guided visualization/activation. The meditation was so powerful we could not keep up with listener comments pouring in with thanksgiving and gratitude. Patricia then generously offered her time to answer listener questions for a full 30 minutes at the end of the call.

Pearls of Wisdom from Patricia…

This video gives you extra strength to cope with all the changes that are happening to you and your world. I do not usually watch many debates but I tuned in to the Republican Party debate last night. I had no idea that there were debates on at 5pm so I did not get to watch them. I wish I had because there was a woman who the channel said was definitely the winner of that first one. I have to confess that I watched only to be able to make up my own mind on Donald Trump and see what the others had to offer. Frankly, it was like watching young boys in a contest with some of them being downright rude to the others. It was obvious the ones that had dignity and were sure within themselves but the noise makers were the ones to get the most attention. I have watched debates before and each candidate was treated equally with the time. I guess being 10 candidates, the questions kept going to the same ones over and over again. It ended at 11pm but I could not relax enough to go to bed. I had to stay up another hour and a half just to be relaxed enough to go to sleep. The energy from that broadcast was filled with negativity although I know it was productive to see how each candidate handled himself. I like to make up my own mind by seeing it for myself as the news commentators sometime report a different aspect than what I get.

I want to leave you with a smile. Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon in sync battle is quite entertaining and will bring a smile to your face if not downright laughter. I am not up late enough in the evening to listen to the night shows but this one is great.

YOUR LOVING ENERGY IS NEEDED

Beloved,

Today is May 1st and the flowers are beginning to appear. They so enlighten the atmosphere and bring us joy and promise of a friendlier climate. My grass is green now but there are bare spots where the piles of snow were. So yesterday I put grass seed down as today we are scheduled for rain. My heart goes out to beautiful California with its drought and no relief in sight. Predictions abound about the weather changes and have been around for quite a while but the changes seem to be happening quicker than ever. I, for one, do not seem to have the ability to change on a dime and that appears to be what is needed these days. There are many opportunities that come my way to practice being more in the present and let the future be whatever it is choosing to be. Can I blame my age for preferring to stay with the status quo? It is so much easier than having to make so many quick decisions. Even with the energy companies, I have had four proposals which all have changed in two days…not counting the opportunity for solar energy which could not offer me a substantial savings. I guess I am from the old school where even energy companies received respect and loyalty.

Nowadays, you just make a call and your energy company is switched. Last fall, my energy company doubled their price and although we had heard rumors, none of us believed they would actually do it. Well, they did and I felt deceived. How could I be loyal to them? It took two months to get changed to a new company. Although I have been calling to see what the new rate would be (it changes every 6 months) they could not tell me so I signed up again for six months with the present company. I found out yesterday that my original supplier is cheaper than the one I switched to so I transferred again back to my original supplier. Hopefully they will not double again this fall because if they do, I will transfer permanently. When I called to cancel my present supplier, I was told: “Oh, we have a new lower price”, which I was not told about when I again contracted with them two weeks ago. If I had not called to cancel with them. I would not have known about the new lower price. Although they were a little lower in price, I felt that they had not been honest with me so I cancelled anyway. “Buyer Beware “seems to be so prevalent these days giving us many opportunities to change our minds. I am so glad that my car mechanic who I have had for 25 years is still very dependable and honest. In fact, he does not take credit cards, only checks or cash and he has a booming business because of his honesty and integrity. Then I received another call today that a certain supplier was even lower than my original one. I am tired of switching back and forth, having to make decisions over and over again. My human brain is tired from all this exercise and I prefer to spend my time enjoying this life. Do you think it has anything to do with all the energy of the sun and the stars and also with these new times? I think so. Here is an article that explains it much better than I can.
http://spiritlibrary.com/sarah-varcas/may-2015-astro-energy-report?utm_source=Spirit+Library+Updates&utm_campaign=6c9351c2be-Daily_Update&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ef6a5211f4-6c9351c2be-120804410

I have been out in my kayak twice now and it is only the beginning. There are a few boats out there but more will be out in the future. Each month changes the lake. Right now, I can kayak out to all the edges of the lake as the water lilies are still dormant. When they are out, there are places that are too thick with them, although beautiful, make going through them quite a chore. Now, I can see the homes without all their summer toys out and it is much quieter. I enjoy all the differences because they all change back again. Kayaking is quite a metaphor to enjoy the present because it too will change.

My first hummingbird made his appearance a few days and I am now eagerly awaiting the Baltimore Orioles. The feeders are out but only half of them. When they, hummingbirds and orioles, are here in full force, I have feeders on both sides of my house. I believe I have a new visitor which I have never seen but his antics have led me to believe who it is. I have a huge feeder which suddenly was on the ground and along my fence one morning. The hook that I hang it on was down below the tree. My first thought was that it was a bear but another thistle feeder was still on the tree and a bear would have crushed my feeder. ???? I hung it back up and two mornings later it was back down again. I filled it to the brim thinking that perhaps the weight would keep whatever was taking it off would find it too heavy to lift. Two days later, it was down again. ????? Was some teenager having fun with me? So, I went to my local bird store and asked them what they thought it might be. They are positive it is a raccoon which is a nocturnal animal. It seems there mode of operation is to lift the hook from the tree, shake it and the feeder falls off, giving them access to the food. They suggested using an eye hook to screw into the tree and then use a gadget that holds keys that enables me to hang it up on this gadget. Each night I would take the feeder in at dusk and then put it out in the morning until my son could come and install it for me. Problem solved, it has been a week and the feeder has not come down. Life certainly gives us many opportunities to learn new things and depend on the abilities of others to help us. We are so fortunate to have each other.

Cathy Olsen sends out daily inspirational pictures that are awe inspiring. The one today was an angel in a garden and the caption was “YOU ARE PRECIOUS”. I tried to copy it so I could show it to you but no matter what I did, it would not print on the email. I need a course in how to work these things on the computer. She takes these pictures herself and I marvel at what she is able to capture. She has a way to see things in a different light. She is a new entrepreneur and just in time for Mother’s Day. If you need to inspire a MOM, take a look.
