Beloved,
Here in the Northeast we are awaiting the strongest burst from this
predicted Nor’easter or Blizzard. Schools are closed and the
governor has asked everyone to stay off the roads if possible and
recommended that all employees leave at noon to get home before the
worst sets in. When I got up this morning, it was snowing but JUST
knowing about the storm I feel compelled to be lazy and just hang
around in my pj’s. I usually get this newsletter out to you a lot
earlier in the day but I just can’t seem to “make” myself be focused
and active. This is strange for me as Friday is the busiest day in
the week for me as I write to you and then I prepare what I am going
to say on my weekly TV Show and then write the script and then am off
to produce my show.
Well, the studio has been closed down because of the storm so I have
no deadline to get all the preparations done and what am I doing?
Actually nothing, just listening and reading emails that I have not’
been able to get to. I am sitting here in my pj’s with the heater
blowing nice warm air on me. Yesterday I was busy preparing for
“Matters of the Heart Psychic Fair” in Milford, Ma on Sunday Feb 10th.
That event has been postponed until next Sunday, Feb 17 so there is
no immediate necessary preparation for it. If you are interested in
attending, just send me an email and I will forward you the info.
What is about an impending storm that makes you want to curl up,
have hot cocoa and read a good book? My thought on that is that
we don’t give ourselves many opportunities to just chill out and do
nothing. NOW, we have an excuse. I propose that we just allow
ourselves more opportunities like this without feeling any guilt
over not being busy. Even the birds are acting strangely. Usually
the birds are all over the feeders just before a storm in order to
fill up but there were no birds at my feeders this morning. Do you
know why? If you do, please email me and let me know. Maybe they
just want to curl up in the bushes and wait it out but it is unusual.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY BELOVED! You are beloved as I see the Love
in you and the LOVE that our Creator has for you.
History of Valentines
In ancient Rome, the 14th of February was a celebration honoring
Juno, Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. This is the equivalent
of celebrating the Divine Mother or Divine Feminine energy. The
following day the Lupercian Festival was held in honor of the God
of Fertility. During these festivities young men would choose the
name of a single young woman from a jar and would spend not only the
festival time, but the following year courting her. This often
resulted in marriage.
When Claudius II became Emperor,however, all that changed. Having
difficulty recruiting young men as soldiers,he determined they were
unwilling to leave their sweethearts. All engagements and marriages
were cancelled. Nonetheless, a Catholic Bishop named Valentine,
who understood the true nature of love, began secretly marrying
young couples. He paid for his treasonous act with his life. The
church later renamed the celebration of the Divine Mother and it
became known as St. Valentine’s day.
This is a day that we can chill out with those we love, let us
do just that. Valentine’s Day is to celebrate LOVE in all of its
forms, it is not just for a special someone although it is a
wonderful to do that also. In fact, let’s make every day Valentine’s
Day, make every day a day to celebrate Love with everyone. What
a wonderful world this would be.
“‘When the flower blooms, the bee comes uninvited. ~Ramakrishna’
When the path of love returns us to its true dwelling place,
unconditional love is discovered right here in our own heart, with
no strings attached; yet it continually invites the flower of our
being to blossom. When it does, “the bees come uninvited,” but you
may no longer care whether they do or don’t. You are content to be
Love-simple, open, intimate, undivided. “Alyssa”
“Perhaps our Valentine is the whole universe and You are it! You are
the expression of its Love.”
