QUESTIONING THE RESULTS OF YOUR DECISIONS

Posted on by

Beloved,

I have been sitting here at the computer most of the day. I have
been listening to replays of teleconferences that usually inspire or
make me feel a whole lot better. I have been struggling with what
to write to you in this newsletter because I like to send you items
or news that lift your heart after giving you a little food for
thought.

Today has been such that I did not wish to speak to anyone, call
anyone, or have any interaction with anyone. Did I like it? No!!!
It is like I am frozen and it is such an effort to talk. I do not
wish to even think or consider anything at all. It is too much of
an effort. I feel like a bump on a log that does nothing but stay
still. This is a very unusual mood for me. I even went back to bed
and slept for two more hours this morning.

I had quite an awakening or should I say an AHA moment of a pattern
that I suddenly realize I have been dealing with my whole life. It
concerns loved ones who have lied to me but their excuse is: “I didn’t
lie, I just didn’t tell you the whole truth”. I have made decisions
based on the information which did not turn out the way I had hoped.
Of course, I wouldn’t be who I am now if I had not experienced the
disappointments and results of those lies. In my soul, I know that
I agreed to these before I was born YET it does not make them any
easier to bear.

I believe that I went on a journey deep inside myself today to
rationally and lovingly forgive everyone and also to forgive myself
for allowing these betrayals. I am much harder on myself than I am
on those I love, why is that? Do I not deserve to give myself as
much love as I give to others? Of course, I do but I seem to need
reminders every now and then. Sometimes I wonder if I have been
alone these past 23 years because I have not had the courage to
trust again. And yet…..we give our trust to many every day of
our life. From the safety of the food we eat to the other drivers
ion the road.

As you can see, I am very pensive and my thoughts are very deep.
I am going to add a “Heavenletter” to this newsletter which might
explain what I am trying to say through my fog today. These are the
times of deep reflection and everything that has not been released
is being brought to the surface for the final release.

God is always bringing us closer to Him.

Heavenletter #4565 A New Picture, May 25, 2013

God said:
There is a theory that everything that is written, that everything
that happens was destined to happen. Sometimes it certainly seems
this way. Not always, but sometimes, sometimes often, it appears
that two people, for instance, were fated to meet and marry,
whether the marriage works out or not. We have talked about this
before, Destiny vs. Free Will. Perhaps Free Will is your
Destiny, or Destiny is your Free Will.

Be that as it may, there is some value in thinking that what is past
was destined. Whether what happened is to your credit or to your dismay,
there is value in thinking that it was destined. Thinking that it was
destined will save you a lot of woe. Thinking that all the past was
destined makes you face the fact, without discussion, that there is
nothing you can do about it now. The concept of Destiny may keep you
out of the trap of ruing, regretting, crying about the past. The
idea of Destiny may get it through your head that there is no point
in crying over spilt milk. There is not a better way to say this
than crying over spilled milk?

How much of your time on Earth have you spent in regret and trying to
relive and remake the past? How much time have you spent carting the
past around with you when you could have gotten on with your life?
How much time have you wasted in wishing you could go back in time
and erase what passed and do it over and make it new? How you have
wanted to undo the past and say something else or say nothing or to
speak up when you had been silent?

In a way, you are a writer of your life. Unlike a writer, you can’t
rewrite. You can’t cross out.

In a way, every day you write a chapter. And when the day is over,
that particular chapter is finished. That chapter is closed. It has
to be left as it is.

Now there is something else, however. Although it makes great sense
to leave a past chapter alone, and I recommend wholeheartedly that
you not turn back, there also can be value in revisiting a chapter
that is over. Can you guess what this possible advantage of going
over an unchangeable chapter could be?

What I think of is that you may see the exact same chapter in a
different way. What you were convinced was a mistake may in a later
re-reading seem not like a mistake at all but just right. The chapter
is the same, yet you see it with new eyes. Upon this second reading,
you may not seem to be the oaf you had thought you were. Is this not
a good thing? You are not spending time agonizing over the past.
Rather, you are seeing the past in a new light! You digest it
differently, and that is all the difference in the world.

So, what if you could have the idea that not only is the past finis,
to it.

Beloveds, every chapter that is written, no matter how homely, how
winsome, how troublesome, led you to where you are today. With this
realization, would you then be so quick to knock it? A particular
chapter may have been a broken step, one you wished you had skipped,
but what if, no matter what, it was a good step because it led you
to where you are today?

Are you not indeed in a good place when My words are before you today
and you are reading them and letting them become part of you?

BALTIMORE ORIOLES / SPECIAL MOMENT OF REVELATION

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Memorial Day weekend. This is truly a weekend of freedom and
although the weather here is not as warm or dry as I would like, it
is the getting together of family or celebrating or even having
an extra day off. I have been focusing so much on the powers of the
eclipses and all the possibilities that they are gifting us with that
I wanted to share a special moment that happened to me this morning.

I am not sure that I have mentioned the Baltimore Orioles that are
here for only three months. They are my favorite bird of all and
perhaps it is because they are scarce. Scarcity makes the heart
grow fonder. They usually arrive 2 weeks after the hummingbirds but
this year they arrived first and the hummingbird showed up a half
hour later. They have a special song that they only sing for about
two weeks as a mating ritual I would guess. It lifts my spirits and
stops me in my tracks when I hear it. Have you ever heard something
that does that for you. I even put in two screens so I could open
my windows to hear them. Again the weather did not cooperate as
much as I would have liked because of the cool temperatures and
the rain. The weather definitely made me stop more often to listen
to them when I did hear them.

Two weeks ago when they were installing both exterior doors in my
home, I had no choice in closing the house so I just hung around and
listened to them all day long. That was such a treasure because I
would ordinarily not take the time to do this. This construction
project gave me the perfect excuse. The following day, it was like a
symphony of them singing. In fact, I was wondering just how long
could they sing like that before going hoarse. I was in bliss.

Even bliss does not last long enough and that was the last day they
sang that special song. Baltimore Orioles usually feed on oranges,
sugar water or grape jelly that we can provide. Of course, they eat
bugs also but humans do not provide that. My birds (I call them that)
did not do well with oranges and with the sugar water, the feeders
would spill over each time a bird landed because it rocked the
feeder back and forth and then the feeders would leak and the
sugar water would kill my grass. The birds also thought that the
sugar water was coming from the bottom of the feeder because they
discovered it when it was dripping but had no idea how to access it.
I usually chuckled at them as they gyrated to try and get it.

This was all a process of elimination so I finally settled on grape
jelly. After some trials with different feeders or hanging dishes,
I finally bought some new ones that give a place to put oranges,
sugar water and grape jelly. Of course, my birds only want grape
jelly so I quickly stopped the other foods.

What happens to grape jelly when you have pouring rain beating on it?
It goes away quite quickly. Usually I can put less jelly and fill
more often in between the rain but this weather was not allowing
me to do this. The feeders have four indentations to put the jelly
in and four holes where they can access the sugar water underneath.
Well, guess what? I put the sugar water in but they couldn’t find
it? Once in a while their beak would miss and go in the hole but
they still did not realize they could access food that way. They
kept coming back to the feeders and then leaving disappointed.
I even put a small dot of jelly near the holes so they would miss and
put their beak in the hole. No such thing!!!

Please don’t laugh but I was even praying to God and the angels to
show them how to find the holes. It was a reminder to me that
I feed on the love energy when I see it but perhaps, there is
love energy just below what is visual. Am I like the birds? Do I
look further for spiritual food, can’t find it and all the time it
is just underneath what I can see. I then included myself in the
prayer that I be shown all the openings to love and to be loved.

Yesterday was a day of constant rain, no let up. The sugar water
in the hummingbird feeders needed to be changed so I went out in
the pouring rain, emptied them, washed them and refilled them with
fresh sugar water. I decided to wash the oriole feeders also
because their sugar water was not good any longer either. While I
was doing the hummingbird feeders I noticed an Oriole drinking from
its feeder so I decided to give it one more try. At least I would
feel like I had done everything possible to give them sustenance.
It didn’t work. I put my dripping jacket into the dryer.

This morning dawned dry so I went out even before I did my meditation
and prayers to put jelly in the Oriole feeders. During my prayers,
I could hear an Oriole doing a 5 note song and he did that several
times. I do not usually interrupt my prayers but I wanted to see
what the noise was about. Here I was standing at my bow window when
an Oriole flew to the window and landed on the hummingbird feeder.
I did not dare to even move a feather or he would have flown off. He
chirped a one note song a couple of times and then tried the hole
but his beak was just too big to get any sustenance. Mentally, I
kept telling him to go to the feeder I had just filled. He went to
it and tried twice to eat the jelly and then flew to a couple of
branches and kept trying to rub his beak as if he was trying to get
the jelly off.

It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps the storm had blown him in
to my yard and he was only used to getting sugar water so he was
unfamiliar with the texture of grape jelly. He chirped a couple of
times as he went from branch to branch and suddenly flew off. He
was not familiar with the feeder so he had no idea that what he
was seeking was just below the jelly and the opening was right
next to where he was.

I thanked him for allowing himself to be the instrument of a message
from the Divine and hoped he found sustenance elsewhere. Or even
perhaps he was one of “my” birds that offered his services to me.

How many times do we look for what we need but just follow our
usual pattern instead of being brave enough to investigate other
methods or openings to our good? My Beloved Orioles certainly gave
me a lot of food for thought. A side note: I have been hearing a lot
of the 5 note songs this morning and I believe they are thanking me
for trying so hard to give them what they needed.

May your Memorial Day weekend be as thought provoking and happy
as mine is.

Love and Light

3RD ECLIPSE – WILL YOU LET THE POWER TRANSFORM YOU?

Posted on by

Beloved,

How are you doing with all these threatening storms? Personally,
I did not receive much rain until last night but have not experienced
hail or massive wind, etc. I hope this newsletter finds you safe
and dry.

Remember that tonight and tomorrow are the last of the three eclipses
and also a full moon. these are the dates of the eclipses:

Lunar Eclipse: Full Moon, April 25

Solar Eclipse: New Moon May 9 – 10 (UTC), 2013

Lunar Eclipse: Full Moon, May 25

When we have such a powerful line-up of three eclipses, we experience
huge life shifts, transformative processes, emotional upheaval and
plenty of purging! In this Full Moon, we are experiencing the last
of these whopper trinity eclipses. Breathe…. let go… and give
it up to the Divine Presence within.

Release all tension and allow. There is nothing to do, just relax
and know that you are safe and taken care of. Feel the feelings
and just let them flow through you knowing that they are showing
up so you can release them with love and gratitude for all that
they have allowed you to experience. Remember, nothing is bad or
good, it is a matter of perspective which we can change at any
moment of time. Look for the gift that is in all that shows up, it
is there for you to recognize and when you are feeling gratitude,
you are at your highest vibratory rate.

Here is a link that you might enjoy, it has more information about
this weekend.

This is a video on the SHIFT by Jim Self. I have not watched it
yet but I intend to. I watched this short one and it was good.
The second link has all the info on the Shift.

I have been busy this week watching two transformational teachings
a day by Christine Kloser entitled “Transformational Author
Experience”. She brings different experts on writing and publishing
your book to speak each day but the big difference is that it is done
with a spiritual tone. And yet, that is not true either as she is
non-denominational but the feeling is so reverent for life and each
person. I have never heard any other speakers talk on this subject
with such love and compassion for each person. She brings through
the message that everyone has a sacred message to give the
world but we are scared we cannot do it. Look at the word SACRED
and just change the position of the letters A and C and you will see
SCARED. Same letters but different meaning. I believe that when
we are that scared then it means that something sacred wants to come
through you which is terrifying and only by looking at it squarely
with fresh eyes and trust will you see it clearly.

I am already a published author of “The Wounded Chalice” which is a
transformational book of my challenges and how I overcame them with
love. I was given the title of a new book last year that I am being
guided to bring out into the world. I already know what it was like
the first time I wrote and got my book published but being a novice,
I listened to some people who were more money oriented…making money
by leading me on. I am now wiser and now I believe that I have been
led to listen to these people who are bringing through so much
inspiration for the world.

We all have a story inside of us but we think it is not important.
I am here to tell you that your “story” is waiting to be heard by
certain people who need your story as inspiration for their life.
You are unique and your story is unique. It is not destined for
everyone but there are people who are waiting to hear it even though
they don’t know it. You are already helping those who know you and
who you speak with and you never know just who you are helping by
telling your “story”.

I have been procrastinating beginning my new book. I have been
waiting for the strong push to come from my guides. I usually get
nagged when I am supposed to do something. Yet, all the information
coming in about this particular time we live in is that WE are the
Creators now, we are the Masters. We need to jump start our mission
by listening to our hearts. Everything is changed and changing, even
the way we get our intuition and gut feelings. We need to take
charge now of our lives by listening to our hearts. Are you listening
to your heart?

It is time for me to get cranking and be out in the world more. I
am using you to make my statement of what I am going to do so I
will have a witness. Once I make a commitment, I keep it. I hope
you don’t mind that I am using you as a sounding board. Once
commitment is spoken out loud, it seems to gain power and it is
accomplished.

The following video made me stop and listen. Will I stop my
headlong pursuit of whatever I am going towards in order to help
a life who is at a crossroads? I hope I will.
