EARTH’S INSPIRATION

I have Spring Fever, it feels so good. I feel like I have been let
out of jail although since I have never been in jail, I can’t imagine
what that would be like. Yesterday capped at a whole 57 degrees
and today was the same. The snow is melting and I can now see the
tops of the bench’s backs on the beach, my fence is now appearing as if by
magic and my driveway is almost ice free with the help of my trusty
ice chopper being assisted by the water under the ice.

I know that tomorrow the cold weather will return but not as cold as it
has been for 6 weeks. Imagine, we have gone a whole week with no
additional snow and I have been able to go out of my house and street
for a whole week anytime I have the inkling to do so. I am in deep
appreciation for the sun and its warmth.

Spring is here and I am claiming it is so. The birds have started chirping
and some are singing their Spring song. The males of the golden finches
are turning from a dull brown to a sparkly brown showing the first sign
of their returning golden color. The frost heaves have appeared, creating
the washboard effect and the snow is melting and causing streams of water
that are so anxious to get to the lake even if it is still frozen. The pot holes
are making their appearance also. Claim it with me….Spring IS here.

I just feel like hopping up and down with glee. My mind does not want
to settle down, it just wants to sing. I feel like a little girl about to go
to the circus and see all the magnificent acts. Mother Nature is getting
ready to unveil her newness and growth. The plants will start to shoot
up soon giving us just a taste of what is in store for us in the upcoming
seasons. Each season has its beauty and its gifts but for me Spring
means new growth and new ideas and rebirth. Would you like to be
reborn? I know I would…. into a stronger, more loving, more
compassionate and wiser human being.

How can I inspire you ? Perhaps with my joy, perhaps with
my exuberance for life with all of its varying scenarios.
This scenery is absolutely as beautiful as it is different and the
music just puts me in such reverence for life on Mother Earth.

PS. As I am sending this to you, we are having a thunderstorm
with fierce lightning, loud thunderclaps and some hail added in
for good measure. Mother Nature is giving us the whole gambit.

Love and Light

A LETTER OF LOVE

Beloved,

I call you Beloved because you are BELOVED by me. I want
to express my gratitude to you for being a recipient of my newsletter
list and allowing me to share with you a small part of my life. I so
enjoy sharing the news that I discover and also the new things I have
become aware of. By allowing me into your life even if it is only
for a moment, you bestow upon me a great gift. A gift is truly
only a gift if it is accepted and you do that with such loving
acceptance.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Begin the day by loving yourself and then spread it around. There
are so many forms of love and they are all equally important. There
is the love for your mate, for your children, for your parents, for your
friends, for your pets and also your Creator. There is no law that says
you cannot love yourself, in fact, you need to begin by filling yourself
with that LOVE so you will have an abundance to give away. This is
a day to celebrate LOVE and not just a day for romantic love. Even
if you do not have a mate or partner, just think of all the people who
love you including the many spiritual beings who are always with you.

Here is how Valentine’s Day started, it is quite interesting .
The Ultimate Valentine

February 14th has always been held as the sacred day to celebrate

love. How did we come to this tradition?

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 canceled. 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.

I retell this story to point out the origin, which was based
entirely upon the union of the Divine Feminine and the
Divine Masculine in celebration of fertility and the
continued expression of love in new form. This rite of
union has been celebrated under different names in every
tradition world-wide. Whether one is honoring what
Valentine stood for, Juno, Beltane or the myriad other
rites, they each stand for this sacred union.

There is another wonderful thing going on today. A reason to be
here on Earth. If you do not make the world sound at noon today, j
just join in at anytime today that you are able and you will be joining
with multitudes around the world. Whenever you join in, it will be
noon somewhere and you will not be alone. Enjoy.

World Sound Healing Day: The Sound Heard Around the World.
Every February 14th, people throughout the planet join
together with their intentionalized sound to project a sonic
valentine of love & appreciation to Gaia, our Earth Mother.
We tone the heart sound “Ah” for a minimum of 5 minutes, and
of course longer if your schedule permits. Often people will
gather groups together and facilitate this toning experience
in their respective communities. If possible, we ask that
you take at least 5 minutes to tone at 12 noon Eastern time,
and as always, we encourage the sounding of the “Ah” by
yourself or with a group at any time during the course of
the day.

http://worldsoundhealingday. com/

On World Sound Healing Day, sound healers, meditators, peace
activists and lovers of all humanity and sentient
consciousness send a Sonic Valentine to the Earth with the
heart sound “AH” filled with the intention of Peace and
Love! (visit: www.healingsounds.com for more information
on this event and to download an “AH” sound you can tone
along with). This is an opportunity in which YOU can partake
in to assist Global Harmonization–the process of creating
harmony and peace on the Earth.
The event culminates at noon Eastern Time. That’s when
everyone will join together to send out healing sounds
together.

SIMPLE WAY TO REPROGRAM YOUR BELIEFS

What an interesting week this has been. I was not
personally aware of what it would be like to live in
Alaska or even Russia with mountains of snow. I
know so much more now. Of course, more snow
storms came, in fact there is another one due today.

I have lived here in Wales for 14 years and in the
Northeast for (should I say?) 73 years so I feel like
an expert on everything Mother Nature has to offer.

One thing I discovered is that it depends on
your age when these weather abnormalities occur.
As a child, I enjoyed all the snow and also the heat of
summer with all the thunderstorms, they had no effect
on me as I was not responsible for anything they
might cause. As an adult with a home of your own,
it is a whole different ballgame.

Many roofs are crashing because of the snow so
the wise thing to do is to clear your roof of any
accumulation. The two young men (my human
angels) who take care of my lawn and my snow
removal needs came over last weekend to clear my
roof. The 7 feet of snow was so compacted that
the roof rake was not strong enough to pull it off.
They had to climb on my roof and shovel it off.
The weight was so heavy and with ice up there also
they had no solid foundation for their feet. I was
grateful there were two of them as it would have
been too much for just one person. They were able
to use the roof rake on my garage so my purchase
was not in vain.

Our town is having a real hard time getting all this snow
removed so the streets could be widened. Our streets
are more like one way streets with people going both
ways. On my way to the dump (it is called the tranfer
station now), I was amazed to see that I could not see
the lake from the street. There were mountains of chunky
snow in the way of my view. We have been used to smooth
mountains of snow but this looked like a giant with teeth
took bites out of the smooth snow. It actually was comical
to see all the gaps in the snow.

I couldn’t figure out what had happened but our main street was
now wide enough for two cars. As I turned onto my street
on the way back I noticed a small front loader in my way.
He was the giant that was taking bites out of the mountains.
He would take a bite and then raise up his mouth full of snow
and place it on top of the pile. It was amazing to watch how
he did this and he could turn on a dime to put it anywhere he
chose.

It did not have the logo of our town so it had to be a private
person doing this. What surprised me even more was that
he was doing our street which is a private way that the
town does not plow. Residents of a private way are
responsible for all the upkeep and maintenance of their
street. I was so grateful to the angels for sending him to
us. My thought is that not being a towner, he was not
aware that this is private street so he just kept on doing
all the streets. I think our town must have had to call in
private contractors because our small town crew could
not handle the 8 feet and more snow that we received.

Now my paper tube on the main street is clear for my
newspaper delivery person to put the paper in. Last
week I walked up my street (mail and newspapers
cannot be delivered on a private street) and was
so grateful that the angels had guided me to bring
my “grabber” with me. My paper tube had been
surrounded with several mountains of snow so I
did not know what to expect. I am glad I had it
because even though the grabber gives me an
additional two and half feet of arm length, I still
had to step both feet in about 3 feet of snow to
get the Sunday newspaper.

The sun came out this morning and it snowed
the large flakes for a while. It was so pretty
to see them falling ever so slowly and still have
the sun. My oldest son, Steve, came over
last Sunday after the boys had cleared my
roof to help create a few pathways. The
snow from the roof blocked my bird feeders
so he shoveled to them and took them down
so I could fill them up again. Boy, are those
birds happy he did that for them. I had been
able to only throw handfuls of seed on the snow
for them and my favorite birds, the golden finch
are not ground feeders so it was not easy for them.
He was able to get to the suet feeder so now the
woodpeckers are quite happy too.

With all this time on my hands and being in
hibernation, I have been listening to more talks.
Two that are being given by very knowledgeable
people like Jack Canfield, author of the Law of
Attraction and also Bruce Lipton who is a cellular
biologist.

Have you ever heard of EFT or Tapping as it is
sometimes called. I have heard of it from many
different people but these two men have explained
it in a way that I understood. So much has
come out about the benefits and how such
a simple method can reprogram the programs
that are still in us although we try so hard to
overcome a limitation through such practices
as positive thinking, or affirmations and then wonder
why we are still failing to surmount those stubborn
challenges.

Watch the video with Jack Canfield by clicking
on the link below:

www.2011tappingworldsummit. com/VideoSeries/

Also watch a fascinating video with Bruce Lipton on how your
thoughts can make you you sick, broke and unhappy,
if you don’t know how to control them properly…

Bruce Lipton is a cellular biologist who has spent
years studying how our thoughts effect us in all
areas of life.

His scientific studies are so shocking and revealing
and have such wide ranging ramifications that the
established communities have gone to great lengths
to keep them hidden, especially the medical community.

Bruce Lipton has out-right said that the majority of
medical studies done today are inaccurate and
misleading and he has the proof to show why.

If you’re ready for some mind blowing information
on how your thoughts effect all areas of your life
then I highly suggest watching the video:

Here are a few of the things that he discusses
in the video:

-Why positive thinking is not enough to change
your life (And what he says does work)

-How the unconscious programming you received
in childhood is effecting you today (And what you
can do about the programs that aren’t serving you)

-The one simple belief that traditional medicine is
based on that is 100% false.

This video is guaranteed to be one of the most
eye opening videos you’ll see all year.

I guarantee that if you give yourself the time to listen
to these, you will learn something you never thought
possible. Give yourself this gift of time and sign
up for the 2011 Tapping World Summit where you
will learn how to surmount those stubborn challenges
in less time than you thought possible.

Love and Light
