LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Beloved,

 Well, we finally got snow, all 2 feet of it here in Wales. As far as snowstorms go, this one was big BUT we had no electric or TV outages. The kids got a snow day from school and finally have snow to play in.  I am literally and physically snowed in.  Our street is plowed but my driveway has not been plowed yet although I know the guys won’t forget me, they must be having a hard time at their commercial contracts to keep the snow off the parking lots especially with the wind we are having.  I can open my storm door a little but being on the lake when it is windy, it creates a whirlwind right around my house and deposits snow on my stoop even when it is not snowing. You should see the beautiful patterns that the wind has created.  There are parts of my yard near the garage where there is no snow and yet there are high drifts right next to those bare spots.  I still claim that Mother Nature is the best artist in the world. No one can compare to her.

 “Finding Calm among the Storm” by Dana Mrkich sounds like a perfect article to follow the storm we just experienced.  In fact, it is a perfect antidote to ANY storm you are in the middle of.

 “You have a Choice” by Ann Albers speaks right to me at this moment.  I am still snowbound but I can choose to fret or relax.  I have heat, food and all of my utilities, why do I feel isolated or abandoned?  I am not either of those things but the very fact that I cannot get in my car and go where I want to go has those feelings coming up. Is it habit or is a past memory?  I CAN CHOOSE to feel my mind’s wanderings or I can CHOOSE to look at reality and SEE that none of those fears are true. In reality, I am sitting in my warm house bathing in the sun as I write to you. 

 Tomorrow is a Lunar Eclipse.  A clip of what opportunities abound during this event by Sarah Varcas.

 What an amazing exercise this would be for all of humanity to participate in.  This video would be great going viral on the media. 

 Let us all “Raise the Bar on LOVE” by Alan Cohen.  This week is the perfect time to begin. I wish you a HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

 In honor of Love and Valentine’s Day this week, I offer these stories of the advancement of mankind, one situation at a time. Imagine what humanity could create if more of us came together in solidarity.  It is happening all over this planet right now. This speaks of the love that is in all of us even when we are not consciously aware that it is the reason behind all of the good in this world. Enjoy all the love that you do not usually hear or see on the media.   It is from Col Chris Hadfield.

PEACE AND CONTENTMENT

Beloved,

When my son, Steve, stored all my yard things for the winter, I asked him if I could keep my kayak out for a while even though it meant he would have to come back to put it back in my yard against the garage. I actually got to go out kayaking three more times and each one a treasure as I know winter is coming. A few days ago I told him it was time so he came and put it away for the winter. This is generally a sad time for me as I do not like the cold and snow of winter. I suddenly realized today that this year, I feel differently. After being in South Carolina for two and a half months last year, I have a different outlook on staying put for the winter. Each year, I would crave to be out in the sun on the beach and without a winter coat.

My trip to SC was a tough one as it rained all three days and my rental place was not what I expected. I did have a balcony with view of the ocean but it was too cold to go out on it even for a coffee. I wore my winter coat for 2 months in order to go to the beach. I was on the third floor with an elevator which I made sure of before I booked. No one mentioned that the elevator would be on the opposite end of this large building with two spaced heavy fire doors that I would have to push open while using my motorized scooter. The only window was the door to the balcony so it was a dark apartment with no sun coming to warm me or my spirits. I could not leave the apartment without my scooter as the elevator was so far away. That in itself was a constant reminder to me of my handicap and what my future might entail. I bet you can tell why I went into a depression although I tried to make the best of it.

My home has the sun coming in the kitchen every day that there is sun. I can even open the door and the sun streams in so warm through the storm door. Sometimes, I put my bathing suit on and bask in its warmth while absorbing Vit D. I am in my own comforting bed and my home is free of all chemical contaminants. I can look out at the lake, which today looks like an ocean because of the wind, while still in the warmth of my home. I may get lonely but I am not bored as being in my home, there is always something I can do. I know where all the stores are and if I get lonely, there are people I know who I see when I go to Church, the dump, the post office or the stores. I can walk out to the garage and get in my car and drive without being constantly reminded that I am handicapped (at least, for now). I am even more thankful that I went to SC last year as it has given me a different perspective on being home in Massachusetts for the winter. I feel a lot more content and happy to be right here in my own home.

Marianne Williamson gave a very interesting interview on the election results. It is eye opening to see the different perspective on something that we all partook in.

This is how we react as Americans and show our support.

Do you take good care of yourself? Good thing to be reminded about especially during this season. Read this.

Here is an opportunity to meditate with Eckhart Tolle about the teachings of Jesus which is what Christmas initiates. If you can’t make it this Sunday, register anyway as there will be a replay available until Jan 11, 2017. You may want to listen closer to or on Christmas.

ARE YOU OUR FUTURE?

Beloved,

Please join me in welcoming the beautiful souls that have joined this newsletter group. It was awesome to meet them at the Natural Living Expo this past weekend. Thanks to all of my followers who came to see me, get a reading or just get a hug. It warms my heart right down to my toes and beyond. I met so many diverse beings who all carry their puzzle piece to this vast puzzle called Earth. You know that your unique piece of the puzzle will only fit in a certain place within the puzzle. Nobody can take your place or offer to others the love from your mission and you cannot take anyone else’s place either. I am waiting for the last piece to fall into place and then we will ALL see what God, Higher Power, All That Is, Creator, etc. created and WHY.

For those who were at the Expo, I was sent a short video of some of the people who were there. Perhaps you will find yourself or someone you know. It is only 2 minutes long and a picture of me is at 55-57 on the bar, perhaps it is you I am giving you a reading and healing to? Sending it for your enjoyment or curiosity.

I need to admit that last week’s newsletter contained some fear and it was mine. I was responding to the deep sadness that humanity was feeling as we all were hoping for some miracle to happen pertaining to the elections. When I received the email about the petition concerning the Electoral Vote that morning, I reacted from the feeling that if I did not know that the Electoral voters had not voted yet that there was still a chance that the outcome might change, I wanted to spread that knowledge far and wide. I did not take the time to breathe or go deeper or pray on it. For that I apologize to all of you. My motto is to accept what is and look for the brighter side of which there is always one. I guess a little piece of me forgot that and simply reacted. I guess I pulled a “Trump”. I still deeply believe that the electoral vote is way out of date and does not reflect the true popularity vote and I would love to see it repealed.

Did you watch the 60 Minutes Show where Trump and his family were interviewed? I sat there with my mouth wide open. Where did this man come from? Why did we not see this side of him during the 18 months of his travels and speaking? I kept shaking my head and asking from the depths of my soul, who this was? This man will not do everything in the way I would like, but he will do it thoughtfully and with respect for others with no denigrating the ones who oppose him. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train.

Steve Rother and the Group have a message for Earth with the meaning behind all of these activities.

Here is Dana with another take and explanation on the election and then I will move to other topics.

Good News Network shares so much with us and I wish to honor their wisdom with this message that was sent to all of you.

My little dobblers as I call them are here. They are the small transient ducks that use my lake as a resting feeding ground and their way South. They have finally come and I laugh as I watch them going up and down into the water to get their food. They are so fast that they are hard to count because they are not all up on top of the water at the same time. This morning I counted 18 of the Hooded Mergansers. These are my favorite because the males have like a white hood on the top of their heads and they are much easier to spot than their brown female counterparts. I look forward to seeing them each fall and each spring. They remind me so much of childhood that it makes me smile. Remember that a smile is very similar to a yawn as both open passageways to the brain with their special chemicals. They are feel good actions we can take as our body does not know the difference between a fake smile and yawn than real ones. So it responds positively and guess what? I no longer get insulted when people yawn because now I know that they are giving me a gift of the moment to imitate them and give my body some relaxation. They are both contagious so spread the peace and joy everywhere you go.

I know that a good deed spreads love to others but I still am pleasantly surprised when it blossoms into something even bigger. I have so much hope for our future with these young ones being our future.

Our youth are showing us older ones what must be done to bring peace. When I went to China, I was on a train not only with goats and chickens but with ordinary Chinese people. I did not have google but I had a book that would translate our languages. I sat with a mother and 2 teenage children and we “spoke’ to each other by finding and pointing at words in the others’ language. It was so much fun and I learned as well as they did. I still do not know how to use google like that but if I ever go to a country with a different language, I will definitely learn Google. It would be so much more fun. Enjoy this video.
