APPRECIATE LIFE

Posted on by

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.

A picture is worth a thousand words. No words are necessary with this one.

INSPIRATIONS FOR JULY

Posted on by

Beloved,

We are having our first heat wave so the beach is more popular than usual. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see the people, especially the kids, enjoying the water and the raft. So much laughter that you forget your own situation for a while, like those darn caterpillars that are making a mess on my deck and staining it. The gypsy moths are out in abundance now also so I have not been using my deck very often. I am grateful that I have a bow window so I can see all the fun being had. Have you noticed that there are new kayaks or boards that are being used on the water? I don’t know the name but I see more and more of them. The “boards” are long and people stand on them to paddle, almost like a surfboard. I got a close up look and they are wider than they appear on the water and there is room to sit on it and paddle it also. They are much easier to carry than a canoe or kayak and they fit much easier in cars, trucks or on the roof of a vehicle. For me, I will stick to my kayak where strong balance is not so necessary.

I am not doing much lately except for physical therapy. I have been told I am not a good candidate for knee replacement because of my sensitivities to antibiotics and pain medication. I am now trying to strengthen the muscles around my knee hoping the knee will have less pain. I also discovered a chiropractor that has treated a friend of mine who has one leg shorter than the other with good results. She was X-rayed and given a lift for her shoe. I have an appointment with him on Monday and the two therapies can be mutual beneficial. I know in my knowing that there is a solution out there or if not, there will be one soon. I admire this little girl in the video as she believes and does the best she can and shares her gift which is actually superb. What a model she is and so inspirational. I hope she is inspires you also.

I am going to send this to you even though the Fourth of July is over for this year. It just was not in my possession to send to you last week. This will be one of my keepers especially when I am fearful of doing something or just being in a situation that overwhelms me.

Cross of Fear… Jesus’ explanation of the horizontal and vertical cross of light that you bear and the light that you are. Some people call it the GRID which actually surrounds Earth as well asus humans.

What do we humans do when the worst shows up? That is when we show who we really are. Another interpretation of the word “Grace”.

Do you ever feel like you are on a trek like this? I do but I am so relieved that I am only feeling it and not in the reality of it.

Year of clarity? How to achieve it? Listen to this call of connection.

I laughed myself silly as I watched this video and put myself in the position of first the puppy who was lonely and then of the kitten who was so determined to help even if it meant doing something precarious. Does this ring a bell for you?

EARTH DAY – REMEMBER HER

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY EARTH DAY! Today is the one day a year set aside to honor our mother who gives birth to us on a minute by minute basis. Without her air, how long would you survive? We could live longer without food but for how long? That does not take into account that all we have here on Earth comes from her support. Take a breath and give her thanks for which she gives so freely (even when we mess her up). Please join me in honoring HER with gratitude for all that she gives so freely.

As I look out upon the lake, I give thanks. The birds have come back to me because she took care of them while I was gone. Yes, we have a little too much water right now, but it is spring and it is feeding the ground for summer. I look at her body and all the intricacies that she embodies and I look at the similarities with my body in all of its intricacies that allow me to enjoy physical life on this planet and I am in awe of its magnitude. Guess what, we don’t control Earth any more than we control our body. We don’t have to tell our bodies to breathe or our hearts to beat or the trillion other things our body does for us automatically. Compare that to the Earth who does the exact same things for the trillion of us humans and all of life on Earth. We can disrupt our body and also that of Mother Earth yet gratitude and love goes a long way to keep both of us at the top of our form. Just take a minute to recognize both your body and the body of your home planet and give thanks to them both. Both of them are miracles. Without them our Spirit would not be able to experience physicality which is such a gift.

Would you consider donating when the amount you give would be doubled? Click here:

Have you noticed the beautiful full moon? Check it out, it is certainly beautiful as it lights up our night’s darkness. What is this moon telling us?

Your love can change your world without even saying a word or having to do anything physical. Enjoy. Listen to this when fear peeks its head in your direction.
