WANT TO BE FLABBERGASTED?

Posted on by

Beloved,

My desire is that your Halloween was joyful and safe. Did you trick
or treat? Did anyone tell you that Halloween was for kids? So what,
you are a child at heart, at least I hope so. I believe to really
feel joy, it comes from the child in us. Pure unadulterated joy.

The weather has been cloudy and rainy. Yesterday, I went to the beach
to take my kayak out for a spin when the wind suddenly came up and I
decided it was too windy to go out. I was a little disappointed
like a child would be but I came back in. The phone suddenly rang
and it was the hospital staff needing me to fax some very important
information about my chemical sensitivities so they could schedule
an appt with dermatology to give me a couple of skin patch tests
before my knee replacement in a month. I do not have a fax so I went
to the Senior Center where they sent it for me. Had I not come back
in from the possibility of kayaking, it would have been too late for
me to fax them as the Senior Center would have been closed until
Monday. I felt joyful as I realized that I had been taken care of
again by the angels, universe, and Source (God). All I had to do
was listen to the guidance I was sent by the wind. Even Mother Nature
was in on this.

I wish to share with you a video about time lapse photography on
flowers. AS with life, it is only in hindsight that the beauty of
the moment shows.

BEAUTIFUL !

Each flower is filmed for 2 days and then each picture is passed
with a difference of 7 minutes each, causing the effect.
The most beautiful of the shows! Truly a flower ballet …

Something Amazing … Gorgeous

Flowers are reminders to me of humanity. Each one is unique, displays
various colors, needs different growing conditions, faces surroundings
that are different, yet are so beautiful and awe inspiring just by
BEING. Is that why we are called a human BEING? OR is it because
we are at our best being and not DOING.

Living on the lake is different every day. Although no one is
about because of the time of year and the weather, the water
continues to inspire me. I was doing mundane housework when I looked
up and saw the lake with a wake that looked like it was from a huge
cruiseship????? I went to the bow window and stood there gaping in
awe. The wind was coming from a direction that I have never seen it
come from. Instead of the waves coming in to crash on the shore,
they (the waves) were being drawn from the shore and sent into the
middle of the lake. It had to be the wind as there was no boat or
anything else on the water. I have seen wind before as it causes
white caps but this time, the white caps were going in the opposite
direction. The weather man had predicted winds from 40 to up to 50
miles per hour but had not said anything about the direction or if
he did, it just did not register with me. The wind was also blowing
lengthwise down the lake instead of across the lake. It was a sight
to behold and of course, then a torrent of rain descended upon my
windows which blocked some of the view. The power and versatility
of Mother Nature continues to have me gape like a child at something
so new that I had not known before. My hope is that you also receive
these awe inspiring moments from where ever they come. Be open
to being like a child and you will see more and more moments of being
flabbergasted. Oh, the joy of seeing the world through the eyes of
a child .

I hope this professor is still showing our next generation, these
truths. It is a good reminder to us all.

As a child, we were so curious. A flower, a blade of grass, an ant
etc. would keep us mesmarized and questioning life for hours. Take
a look at this child’s face and notice how IN THE MOMENT he is.
That is the secret for all of us. Live in the moment and the future
will take card of itself. Let’s hope that the US will change its
policy and allow for the curiosity and spontaneity of a child.
They are our teachers.

http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/civics/radical-new-teaching-method-could-unleash-geniuses.html

Let’s all become like children, open and curious and knowing that
they are protected and guided by a felt but unseen force of Life, no
matter what name we call IT.

PPS.I had closed this newsletter but forgot one I really wanted to
share with you. Please listen to Jo Dunning, I don’t know how long
it will be available. This is just not a talk or speech, Jo gives
you three initiations and activations. It will be worth your while
because her energy is from Source and it will be peaceful and
eye opening. You will need to scroll down a ways. You won’t be sorry.

SIGNS FROM MOTHER NATURE – LOVE, JOY AND MOTHER’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

How has the energy of the eclipses been treating you? Everyone is
being treated fairly. Whatever you haven’t dealt with yet, will
come up for you to look at again. It has been challenging but also
rewarding as we are faced with old scenarios yet we are being given
the strength and ingenuity to see them differently so we can absorb
he blessing and wisdom that comes with them. This article can give
you some food for thought in using the NOW energies.

Another eye opener article of what we are experiencing.

http://expectwonderful.typepad.com/messages/2013/05/may-2013-passage-to-expansive-freedom.html

Mother Nature is giving me a lot of nurturing signals. Have you ever
smelled a tulip? I cannot be sure that I ever tried but Tuesday
morning as I pulled up at my Svaroopa Yoga’s studio, “The Centered
Place” I was just pulled in by the beauty of the flowers growing there.
The owner has the greenest thumb that I have ever experienced and it
was a joy just to see what the earth was yielding. I could not help
myself but there were red tulips closest to the driveway so I bent
down to smell it. I was stunned, the tulip had a fragrance and it
was an aroma that I have never ever smelled before. I happily went
in and mentioned it to my teacher, the owner and she smiled and we
got down to doing yoga, On the way out, I could not help myself
again so I bent down and smelled it again and then went around
smelling all the different colored tulips which all had a distinct
fragrance. My teacher and her husband came out and they both smelled
the tulips and were surprised by the fragrance. Have you ever heard
of a perfume or essence called tulip? My heart was singing as I had
discovered something I never knew before and I felt like it was a
gift to me from heaven and the angels. Try smelling a tulip not
the ones in the store but one that is growing in the ground. You
just might be pleasantly surprised and get a marvelous gift.

Tuesday night I received a call that stunned me and plunged me down
into an emotion that I never wanted to feel again. No, no one died
but my heart fell to the floor as I was being asked for help that I
was not willing to give. I then had to get off the phone because I was
so upset that I was shouting. So much for the calmness and serenity
that I had experienced that morning. My mind was whirling as I could
not make sense of what I had just heard. A loved one was asking for
help which was making me judge and jury and I did not like that
emotion. What could I do to help without causing more of a cascade
down into the hellish situation. Sometimes, tough love is the only
answer but that tore at my heart also. I prayed all night for wisdom
and for an answer. The following day, I agreed to help but with
strict regulations. This episode made me judge myself and the other
one quite harshly and I knew that was not the answer. To me, LOVE
is the only answer to any situation but there are many ways to
implement it. I had been given an opportunity to return to a
situation and feeling that I thought I had put behind me. Has
that ever happened to you? I opted for thinking positive and to
keep the scenarios running around in my head to only positive
outcomes. I spent a lot of energy observing myself and the thoughts
that kept creeping in. The situation has not been solved yet but
it is getting easier to keep my thoughts on a positive note. That
is a muscle I would like to strengthen even more. I am also getting
the chance to practice unconditional Love on myself and others.

Here is a different perspective and how we can turn our thoughts
around to find joy.

This morning as I was doing dishes, I suddenly saw a Baltimore
Oriole at the feeder in front of my window. I was shocked as I have
not seen a hummingbird yet and they usually come in around two weeks
earlier. I had put out food for both species because it was later
than usual for their appearance. 20 Minutes later, there was
a hummingbird at the feeder. My heart jumped for joy as these
are my favorite birds. An hour later, there was a Grosbeak at
my feeder and this is one that is rare for me to see. Suddenly
I KNEW that I was getting messages from them so I went to my book,
Animal-Speak to see what messages they were trying to tell me.

Baltimore Oriole – keynote is THE WEAVING OF SUNSHINE. when the
Oriole shows up, look for sunshine to show up within a two week
period. Orange/yellow and black are the colors of the Archangel
Auriel who oversees all nature spirit activity upon the planet. The
Oriole will help you to weave new sunshine into any area of life you
desire. It will help you to rediscover your own inner child and a
renewed sense of joy in your life.

Hummingbird – keynote is TIRELESS JOY AND THE NECTAR OF LIFE
It is a symbol for accomplishing that which seems impossible. It will
teach you how to find the miracle of joyful living from your own
life circumstances.

I usually only look up animals, insects or birds that I rarely see
as I feel they are specifically speaking to me whereas the ones I
see and enjoy all the time are simply there and not coming to speak
to me. The Grosbeak is just such a one that I rarely see but with
them all coming in such a short time, I felt that they were all
trying to get me to pay attention to their messages.

Grosbeak – keynote HEALING OF THE FAMILY HEART It has on its chest
a rose-colored triangle that looks like a bleeding heart. This can
help teach us to heal all of the old wounds and hurts of family
origin. The Grosbeak can help us to see our family relationships as
a true melody – each note separate but part of a larger whole. They
can help us to see how our family has affected many of our life
patterns.

I truly feel that this grosbeak was sent to me for Mother’s Day and
it was also meant for you just until they leave your nest.

Now you can see what these eclipses are capable of, both challenging
and yet so miraculous. I wish you all the joy that has been given
to me this day. Look for the joys and they will appear and you
will be surprised how they show up.

Love and Light

A BRIDGE CALLED LOVE

Posted on by

Beloved,

The Blizzard of 2013 is what they are calling the storm that
really dumped on the Northeast last weekend. i did not get out of
my yard for 4 days but during the storm I was out on my stoop
shoveling as the snow was coming down sometimes at 3″ an hour. The
lake always has gifts for me but one of the ones I don’t get too
often is the little mini whirlwind that surrounds my house. If there
is any wind it likes to pick up and deposit more snow right in the
front of my house.

Of course, that is great in the summer as I rarely have mosquitoes
because the breeze keeps them away but in winter? Ah. that is a
different story. My neighbor called me to pitch in for the cost of
plowing our street which is a private way, and he said he wished
I could see what he was looking at. He was looking at my house
which was nicely wrapped in about 6 feet of snow. The snow was up
past my small kitchen window and it had covered all the windows
in the door of my garage. I shovel the stoop because if I didn’t,
I would not be able to open my door.

It was comical in a way as I would go out to shovel it and since the
drifts were taller than me, I had a heck of a time throwing what I
shoveled over those banks. And….the wind loves to play with me
because every time I managed to get a shovelful over, he would blow
it right back at me. I really did a lot of laughing but finally gave
up at 12:30AM and went to bed. When I got up the next morning, the
snow was high in front of my door. I wish I had a surveillance
camera so I could watch myself as I contort my body to try to get
through a space so thin that Twiggy would have a hard getting
through. But after many gyrations I managed to get the shovel out
there and then work it a little to dislodge some snow that is
against the door.

Finally, I made it and managed to shovel it. My thinking was that
if there was an emergency, they could send a helicopter and bring
me up in the basket but I had to make it out of my house first. I
could not walk as the snow was drifted over my head but at least I
was out side where I hoped I would be seen. When things like this
happen, I like to bring the humor in. There were many blessings also.
The first foot of snow was the heavy wet kind but the rest was the
fluffy snow which made the wind’s job easier but also mine as I could
pick up a full shovel rather than a little at a time.

Last winter was a great winter, I had to be plowed only once and the
temperature was so much warmer. Mother Nature knows what she is doing
though, she knows our water table is low because we did not have snow
last year so she made sure we had plenty this year. She did make it
light kind of snow and after three days, she sent the rain which
diminished the snow and also a heavy fog overnight which cuts through
snow like a knife through butter. We ended up with only half the
amount the storm delivered and now she is giving us beautiful sunny
weather to melt the rest.

All in our area were gifted with the governor closing the roads,
offices, schools, stores except Home Depot which was needed to
furnish parts that snow blowers and snow plows needed. And…..gas
stations so people could run their snow blowers. Most of all,
parents and children got to spend some quality time together without
the outside world diverting their attention elsewhere. They finally
had the time to be a family and get to know each other again. We
were fortunate as we did not lose power but many did. The piece de
resistance was when the Post Office canceled all mail delivery on
Saturday and closed all its Post Offices. I worked for the Post
Office for 23 years and in all those years, the Post Office never
shut down. I think the postal people deserved not to have to travel
in that kind of weather and be with their families after all those
years of sacrifice so we could have mail.

I had planned to get so many things accomplished since we all knew
the storm was coming. Like you, I have so many things that I would
like to catch up on and thought this would be the perfect opportunity
to do that. Much to my surprise, I did not WANT to do anything except
take naps, have hot cocoa, hot soup and just chill out. I started
to chastise myself and then realized that storms such as these, create
an opportunity to be GOOD to ourselves and just ALLOW and TRUST that
all is in Divine Order and will get done when it is supposed to.
That is called Divine Timing. So I relaxed and did nothing. I like
that feeling and plan to “remember” it more often.

I woke up yesterday morning and the snow looked like cotton candy,
soft and fluffy. It was all glittering like it was full of diamonds.
We had just a dusting but it was enough to cover the old stuff and
make it look like glitter. What a sight that was. So you see living
on a lake has many different opportunities to see the beauty that
Mother Nature tries to give us if we but look.

I hope your Valentine’s Day was full of love…beginning with the
love you have for yourself. Where all the other holidays celebrate
with more days than one, Valentine’s Day is just that…a single day
to celebrate. And…..it is universal. Love encompasses ALL. People
and animals and nature and absolutely this exquisite planet.

This past week we celebrated the wonders of Mother Nature, Ash
Wednesday, Mardi Gras and many other celebrations that I cannot
remember the names of. All cultures are celebrating at this time
which means globally there is singing, dancing, love and gaiety.
It so reminds me of when I was a child and enjoying each moment
that presented itself to me. Soooo many memories of when I felt
so trusting and innocent. This music seems to just go along with
all that I am feeling right now. Each of us is a Bridge of Love
when we share our gifts and do what we love. I have such gratitude
to all who have been such a bridge to me and although this music is
from my generation, I believe all generations love and appreciate it.

My generations did it Our Way and now it is time to turn the gavel
over to the next generation to do it Their Way. Yet…..we can still
be valuable as mentors with our life experiences.

I wanted to share this with you so you feel and know that you are
such a bridge also.

Paul Anka wrote this for Sinatra, and only a violin can make this
sound as beautiful as it truly is. Don’t miss this.

Andre Rieu doesn’t often play his violin through whole pieces; this
he did! Also some lovely photos of the arrival of immigrants to the
USA, such as Frank Sinatra’s parents.
