ARE YOU SAFE?

Beloved,

12-12 rolled around and I can’t say I felt anything special. The day was OK and the energy was no different than normal. On 12-14, two days later, it was a different story. When I opened my blinds to the lake and beach, I noticed the orange safety cones that were on the raft had been thrown onto the thin ice that now covered the lake. I shifted my gaze to where the raft was supposed to be but only a green square appeared to me. The raft has been pushed or dragged or??? onto that thin ice and was sitting on it. I knew that if it did not get moved back onto the grass (the beach is 2/3 sand and 1/3 grass) that the ice would melt from the sun that day and then refreeze making it impossible to get it back to safety.

So I called Janelle, the President of the Lake Land Beach club and explained what I was seeing so she could get some male help to get the raft back up where it belongs. Since the beach is right in front of me, I can see things others cannot so I keep an eye on it. She said: “Mary, don’t you know what happened down there on the beach last night?” “No”, I said, “what happened?”
I sat stunned while she told me that there had been black helicopters with no lights, police in gear with flashlights and also police dogs combing the beach, my yard and the surrounding neighborhood. I had heard nothing and with my blinds down, I had seen nothing. It seems there had been a home invasion a couple of streets away and the police were searching for the armed masked men. Now I was feeling vulnerable especially since I had been ignorant of the entire goings on. Since this was the beginning of my day, I had not done my meditations or prayers before breakfast so I went to my meditation chair and altar to do this. As I was in meditation, I suddenly began to laugh out loud. It was the sudden realization that I had been safe and sound in my home while my neighbors were going through a lot of trauma. We are told over and over again that we are protected but do we really believe that? I guess I had not totally trusted that truth but I could deny it no longer. I had been and am in my own little world, safe and protected no matter what happens around me. Wow, is that a heart and eye opener or what.

I then went to the Post Office to find out what they knew and then proceeded to the Town Hall to get what I hoped was the truth of what had happened. You know how a story gets entangled when it is spread from one person to the other. The Police Chief is supposed to call me but he hasn’t yet. What I have been told is that it was a home invasion by masked men with guns. It appears that it was a house that had a reputation for dealing drugs and that is what they were looking for. The police finally had caught one of them in a neighboring town. There is no news on TV or even in the papers so what really happened, no one knows.

My neighbors had all different experiences. Janelle had opened her door to ask police what was going on and was sternly told to go back inside and lock her door. Her two little girls were frightened so she did her best to calm them but they had just learned a lesson in fear. The closer neighbors were even more traumatized since it was so close to their home and they will experience fear for a much longer time. A friend halfway across town received a call from another friend to lock all her doors and stay inside. Fear really explodes and shoots its energy far and wide.

All these things happening right around me and I was at peace in my home and slept peacefully through the night. I was protected and so are you. My home is a safe haven for me and that was reflected back to me by this episode. If your home is filled with fear whether it is fear from neighbors, family or even subscribed to by watching TV, it shows up until you find peace inside of you and spread that instead of fear. I implore you to make your home, your surroundings and most of all yourself free of fear.

Sooo, even though I had not felt anything on 12/12, the energies of that day were still working. Here is a message from Shanta Gabriel on the energies of that day that are still around you, are still working and what they mean.

We all know what Christmas is all about don’t we? Here is Abraham Hicks with a heart opening explanation.

Is it too late to view a Thanksgiving miracle? Love is Love no matter when it is shared.

I have been talking a lot about 12-12, how about we transpose the numbers a bit and talk about 12-21, the solstice since it will happen before we next get together.

IS HAPPINESS YOURS FOR KEEPS?

Beloved,

Summer is finally here even if only for a short while. It was 45 degrees last night but today is already 70 degrees so the cool nights are not too bad. I love to kayak which I can do most of the year but going in the water is something else. Once the nights get warmer around 55-65 degrees, the water warms up. It is the warm nights that warm the water and why the water cools down even if the days are in the 80’s.I am enjoying going in the water because it seems to be such a short time before fall is here.

Do you remember when I used to tell you about the Canadian geese and my attempts to keep them from coming to our beach? If it wasn’t for their poop, they would be more welcome. Well, another crusader to ban the geese has come to take over for me. She is our new treasurer and is adamant that she is tired of raking up the poop and will find a way to deter them. She wanted to try the whirly gigs that turn with a breeze so I offered mine to her to try so she wouldn’t have to buy them. They work well for me when the baby geese are small and they crawl under the fence. Since they can’t fly, the parents need to come over the fence and herd them back, leaving their markings on my grass. This year I did not need to use them as the babies did not come that close to the fence, maybe the geese parents remember and keep them from it now. Since I had tried them on the beach and they did not work, I did not hold out too much hope but she wanted to try.

I watched as the geese stayed in the circle of water created by the buoys that keep boats out of the swimming area. They would venture forward to see what would happen and when nothing did, they proceeded as usual. Yesterday I noticed something brown on the beach and it seemed hunched over but I could not make out the details even with my binoculars. So I went out this morning to see exactly what it was. I had been watching the geese and they were staying away from it except for one who decided he was going to be the one to test the waters. There is always one in every crowd, isn’t there, that will go where no one else wants to go? I was chuckling as slowly he would get closer and nothing happened. The other geese settled on the beach further away but this one decided to pretend to be eating the grass as it inched closer and closer to this thing. When nothing happened and that thing did not move, they all settled down to munching.

I thought it was worthy of chuckles so I wanted to share it with you. I went down to see what it actually was and it turned out to be a plastic coyote or fox. It was hard plastic and hunched over in body form with the face close to the ground with a snarling mouth that show teeth and the tail was dragging on the ground. That made me laugh at loud. If a decoy does not move, it is not real to the predator. This coyote/fox needed to be higher up so the breeze could make it move. A couple of years ago (before this person was on board), we had tried a fox/coyote as they were supposed to scare geese away. We tried only one on one side of the beach to see if it would work. This one had fur and the head moved and so did the beautiful fur tail when the wind would blow. It had seemed to be working, at least on one side of the beach and all of a sudden, it disappeared. Someone stole it and we never did find it again. This woman is very dedicated to getting rid of the geese and I had told her all we had done but nothing worked. I had suggested a floating swan as geese are afraid of it and one of our neighbors has put one in the water near their raft and it appeared to work. The movement of the water made it move around so the geese never knew where it would be. Perhaps her next attempt will be a swan. I hope so as I feel that will work but it is great to have someone trying so hard to alter this one drawback of having a beach. I cannot chase the geese anymore as I can’t walk that much without pain. They used to know my voice and if I hollered “GO” from my deck they would leave most of the time. But they are smart and they would test me occasionally to see if I would actually walk down there to scare them away. I used to carry a pail so I could throw water at them which would make a splash and frighten them. Yet they knew when I wasn’t home. They would even see me leave so they could come and when my car turned on the street, they would skedaddle. They are smart and good adversaries. Animals are so much fun unless they are invading your territory.

Abraham Hicks has words of wisdom that are powerful.

Would you call being emotional an opportunity to be happy?

WORRYING

I am a little late with this newsletter but I am here.
Yesterday I went to a Home Show where all the
contractors you would like to speak to you about
your home improvement project are there. Do you
have a project in mind for this time as Spring is finally
here?

There is so much I do not know and I know my oldest
son tries to answer all my questions but it is frustrating
for him as he is a doer not a teacher even though he tries
valiantly. I go to this yearly show just to get the
many questions I have answered and by experts.

I was planning on getting a new deck this year as mine
needs painting every two years and I wish to be without
that job. I want a deck that never needs painting even if
that means I need to give up my purple deck. Yet, there
has been so many projects that arose this past winter, that
I just may have to paint it again this year until I can financially
afford a new deck.

The contractors are great and some of them offered to
come give me an estimate anyway. At least, I will
have a ball park figure for the future and I am hoping
one of them who is a painter also may paint it for me.

I almost did not go as I know my finances are low
but I remembered a quote from Abraham Hicks:
“Worrying is using your imagination to create something
you DON”T want”. That quote struck such a chord in
me as it brought home to me the truth.

Look back at the worry you have and see just what you
are creating. We could better use our imagination if we
focused on what we DO want. The Secret says that in
other words but it means the same. Focus on the good
or positive and that is what you will create. Sooooo, I
went so I could focus on what I want and let the Universe
do what it wills.

Maybe I will win the lottery, of course, I have to buy a
ticket first. The Universe or God works that way too.
In order to get what we want, we need to take an action
that will create it. We never know what tomorrow may
bring but we can put our two cents worth in just by
imaging what it is we want.

Let’s make a pact not to give our imagination our worry,
it gives us what we do not want. In fact, let us cease
worrying. For me, I will ask my angels to gently remind
me when I am worrying so I can break the habit. Who
will you ask to help you?

I will be speaking and having a booth at the Whole
Health Expo in Northampton on April 16th and 17th.
I am giving you some links so you can check it out
in case you are interested.

I wanted to leave you with a smile. Are you hitting yourself
on the head hoping to create something different for yourself?

It is so unusual to get a funny, non political, non sexist, non racist, and non doomsday message that I wanted to make your day by sending it along!
I know you’ll enjoy it.

THE POTTY……

A FOUR YEAR OLD BOY IS SITTING ON THE TOILET.
HIS MOTHER THINKS HE HAS BEEN IN THERE TOO LONG, SO SHE GOES IN TO SEE WHAT’S UP.

THE LITTLE BOY IS SITTING ON THE TOILET READING A BOOK. BUT ABOUT EVERY 15 SECONDS OR SO, HE PUTS THE BOOK DOWN, GRIPS ONTO THE TOILET SEAT WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND HITS HIMSELF ON TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH HIS RIGHT HAND.

HIS MOTHER SAYS: “BILLY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU’VE BEEN IN HERE FOR A WHILE.” >

BILLY SAYS: “I’M FINE, MOMMY. I JUST HAVEN’T GONE POTTY YET.”
MOTHER SAYS: “OK, YOU CAN STAY HERE A FEW MORE MINUTES. BUT, BILLY, WHY ARE YOU HITTING YOURSELF ON THE HEAD?”

BILLY SAYS: “WORKS FOR KETCHUP.”
