WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

Posted on December 10, 2010 by marygrace

When I saw this video, I laughed all the way through,
but a strange thing happened. As I was watching, I
kept seeing the video in a different light. I kept thinking
about “waking up” in a whole different way. Having
an AHA moment is like waking up, you suddenly have
a different perspective about what was happening to you
a moment ago.

You are having a dream and all of a sudden, you are waking
up and realizing that it was just a dream. Whether it was a
“good” or “bad” dream, you are now seeing it from a whole
different perspective. Life is like that. Sometimes you are
disappointed in life and what is happening to you and other
times you are so happy and joyful. Which is better?

I have been on a mood decline ever since the temperature
has dropped and my body is yelling at me. It says: “I was born
to be on a tropic island where the breezes are warm and balmy
with a warm ocean to soak the stresses away. You have me in
a cold climate where I am always cold, my fingers are numb,
and I need to have three and four layers on to feel the least
bit comfortable. I have lost the freedom to go barefoot and
have light clothing on to go about my daily tasks. What are
you doing to me?”

This video was quite an eye opener, I have been seeing my
life through eyes that were choosing to see only the grey side
of living in the Northeast winter. I decided to make a list of all the
things I enjoy that I get to do when the weather has dropped
below freezing. A list of things that I would not get to do if
I lived in the South.

I now can see the birds a lot better with no leaves on the trees.
This morning I saw a beautiful red cardinal just sitting in the tree
that I do not usually see when the leaves are out. There are more
and different birds at my feeders as they fill up for the night or
after the fast from the night before.

I get to sleep later in the morning as the sun rises later and I get
to rest more in the evening as it gets dark earlier.

Getting in the chilly bed which makes it feel cozier as I snuggle
into it with the down comforter and settle down quickly with
appreciation for its warmth.

Making hot steamy soup or stew, then enjoying it as it takes the
chill out of my body while sitting in front of my electric fireplace.

Feeling so pampered as I now can start my car from the house so
it is warm when I get in. I did not have that option before.

I have more solitude as the neighbors rush into their houses because
of the cold temperatures. More time to delve into my own beingness.

The lake is completely frozen this morning and I will soon be watching
and enjoying the ice fishermen, the ice skaters, ski mobilers, and
the sledders.

The time I plan to finish afghans for my children, granchildren and
great grandchildren because it needs to be colder to have the
length of them across my legs.

The beauty of snow covered trees and lawns. I must confess that
I would be happier if it only snowed on trees and grass and not on
driveways and streets.

The studio where I take yoga classes has heat in the floor and it is
heaven to be laying there in Shavasna while being warmed. My
body soooo loves that.

People from the warmer climates come to the cold in order to ski
whereas I have it all winter. I am reaching aren’t I?

Can you see where I am going with this? My mind is the only thing
that can make me unhappy so I am choosing to “wake up” and see
the silver lining to all that happens in this cold weather. One more thing
is that I relish the spring so much more than if I was in the warmer
climate all year ( I would like the chance to see if that is true, though).

I am planning to see the “other” side of winter and I am going to keep
this list nearby as a reminder to have a different perspective. Want to
come along with me by having your own list of “waking up” to whatever
you are resisting. Remember: “What you resist, persists”. Glad to have
you on board, Let me know how you’re doing. I see you laughing!!!

VERY FUNNY VIDEO: WAKING UP IS HARD TO DO!!

1/01/11, LOVE, HEAVENLETTERS

Posted on December 4, 2010 by marygrace

I wish to send you LOVE. This is the season of LOVE
and when we feel it we can send it out to everyone who
crosseS our path from the grocery store clerks, the tellers
in the banks, and the people who are shopping right along
with us. It only takes a smile and people will smile back,
uplifting both of you.

When I opened my curtains onto the view of the lake first
thing this morning, it was grey, no sun and no live animals
that I could see. So….I did my meditation, prayers, and
exercise. Then I made myself some hot oatmeal with
walnuts and fresh blueberries. Yummmm.

Now, I was ready to begin my day. As I took one last
look at the lake before settling down to write to you, I
was surprised by 12-16 little dabblers. Ducks that
are transient in Spring and Fall who keep active by
diving under the water and disappearing. That is why
it is so difficult to know just how many they were. They
are not all on top of the water at the same time.

These are called the Hooded Mergansers and my bird book
describes the male drakes as resembling an avian egghead.
That made me giggle.The males have a beautiful crest which
is white and surrounded by black and they raise it up when
they are excitedly trying to impress a female. All the males
must have been impressing females because they all had their
crest raised. When it is lowered the white flag appears
as a narrow line.

I took time to admire them and watching them with my
binoculars. I could see them so clearly as they were feeding
right in front of my beach instead of halfway across the lake.
A regular mallard duck came and watched them for a while.
She seemed to be enjoying them even though she could not
join them because she could not dive and stay submerged like
they could. After a while, she ambled off by herself. A white
seagull I call Oscar, joined them and I think he was feeding off
the small fish that the Mergansers were stirring up. The mallard
duck impressed me because I did not feel that she was
experiencing being different like we humans would in the same
situation.

There were two white things in the distance but I could not
see clearly enough even with the binoculars to discern exactly
what they were. The forms looked to me like they might be
white pelicans and I even brought my binoculars with me to see
if I could get a better view when I had to go out. By the time,
I got to another part of the lake to see better, they were nowhere
in sight. Darn!

I believe that you know that I am an author but I wanted to
remind you that my book, The Wounded Chalice, makes a
great Christmas gift. It is only $25 which includes shipping and
if you order it from me directly, I will autograph it for you. It
is available on Amazon’s Kindle and also on Barnes & Noble’s
Nook. It is now in the process of being converted to an audio
book but I do not believe it will be available for Christmas but
it is available as an ebook.

I also have a CD of a recent lecture I gave entitled : Love is
Enlightment. My talk is inspirational and informative. It also
begins with me saying :The Lord’s Prayer in Aramaic which is
Jesus’ own language and it closes with The Prayer of the Chalice.
It costs only $12 (which includes shipping) and I will also a
autograph it. It makes a great stocking stuffer or a little something
for a hard to buy for person or one who you accidentally omitted.

I received a newsletter from World Puja whom I believe you all
know of. I am blown away by the opportunity that New Year’s
Day will bring. Imagine many thousands or perhaps millions
of souls will unite in bringing in Love and the New Consciousness
to Earth. I have already signed up and put up a note for myself
not to forget because I believe it is the single most important
thing I can do on New Year’s Day. Tell your family and friends
so they can join you in bringing in the New Year the way we
all wish our life on Earth to be. Go to World Puja and be
inspired. http://www.worldpuja.org/1-1- 11.php

I am excited to bring you this news as I believe the saying:
“Where two or more are gathered, there I AM”. Can you
just imagine people just like you and I from all over this
world joining together in bringing Peace and Loving
Awareness to the entire planet. The highest vibration
is the Vibration of Love which withstands all other
bombardments against it and then raises the
vibration of all other energy. It is the law of physics
that a high vibration draws all other vibrations to itself.
Read here as the stupendous event is better explained.

EMAIL FROM WORLDPUJA

For six and a half years The World Puja Network has had
the strongest partner one could ask for, God. From the
inception of my becoming the President of The World
Puja Network, I knew I needed a powerful partner for
such a massive undertaking.

As a result, from the inception until now, before I implement
anything on The World Puja Network, I meet with my partner,
ask questions, and wait for answers. There are numerous
times when I ask nothing and am spontaneously awakened
in the night with a pertinent message, or given a
transmission while in morning stillness.

It was the latter that birthed the upcoming World
Puja Network’s “World Meditation and Planetary
Transmission on 1-01-11.”

In all honesty I thought that I would simply let things be
as they are on World Puja, focus on my 9-month tele-
class, and also the writing of my new book. As usual,
my partner had other plans.

The following words were clearly transmitted while in
early morning stillness.

“On January 1, 2011 The World Puja Network is
to do a World Meditation and Planetary
Transmission with six people.” (It was that clear.)

That statement was then followed up with exactly who
the six people were to be, and why the imprint of this
unprecedented world meditation, contemplation and
transmission was to be done through the portal of The
World Puja Network, on the first day of 2011.

At first surprised, and then deeply honored, I went into
action.

Within 2 hours, everything was in place. The invitations
went to the specific people, all of whom replied with, a
hearty yes. Next, the graphic designer I called to help
me create the magnificent invitation to all of you around
the world said, “yes I can do this for you this week.”
What I was clearly guided to say on the invitation
literally flowed out in minutes, and finally, the technical
logistics to make this happen, easily came into place.

It is experience such as this that allows one to clearly
know that everything one is undertaking is meant to be.
No struggle, no resistance, and perfect flow with the
Divine. This is how Life, is meant to be lived. This is
when we know we are in the natural flow of life.

I am beyond grateful to invite you, along with every
friend and family member to an event, a planetary
transmission, that I have been assured will make a
marked difference in how we and our Mother Earth
will experience the coming year of 2011.

This year will be unlike any other in the history of
humankind. How we consciously and energetically
enter into it, together, is going to affect the planet,
and each one of us greatly.

I have been told that on this day, as a result of this
gathering, Heaven will come closer to Earth.

Additionally I am told that Heaven on Earth is able to
occur only when there is a collective gathering, such
as this, coming together with a purposeful, singular
influence.

Please let as many people know of this event as
possible, and please register at your earliest
convenience. There is no charge and nothing
is asked of you other than to show up with love.

Please send this link or banner (below) and/or
these words, (or everything,) to as many as
possible. Please post it and send it through
whatever means you are able. We are in this
together. Together, on purpose.

Your beautiful invitation and all details are at:

HEAVEN #3661 Here Comes Your Love, December 3, 2010

God said:
Love does not mean dependence. Your love is to set others
free and yourself as well. Love does not bind. It does not
bind the other nor does it bind you. You are not a prisoner
of love. You are a fulfiller of love. You are the responder and
receiver of love.
Love calls to you and meets itself within your heart. Love resides
in the heart at the very moment it is given. Love is multi-directioned.
It is not hoarded, nor is it frivolous. Love goes beyond borders.
Love has no borders unless you make them up. Love does not say,
“This far, and no further.”
Some minds tell the heart where it can love and where it cannot love.
Have you ever heard of anything so foolish? Love, by its very nature,
is unbounded. There are no exceptions. Love does not walk
down narrow aisles. Love does not say: “I will go here, but
not there.” Love is bigger than that. Love is bigger than anything.
We are talking about love beyond physical attraction. Let your
love be attracted everywhere. Love is not a nit-picker. Love is
for all. Love is a way of being. You are love, and love goes
everywhere and sees love everywhere. Love loves the lovely,
and love loves the so-called unlovely. Love is a condition of
your heart.
Love does not stand back. Love does not wait for permission.
Love is like a lovely mist that falls everywhere.
By your very presence, hearts are stirred. You do not stir hearts,
yet they are stirred by your love. You pass through others’ lives,
and they are stirred by your love. Your love emboldens them.
Here comes your love. It is rushing to and fro right now.
Love does not depart. It embraces. It embraces on a silent level.
Love does not have to put its arms around anyone. By its very
nature, love embraces. A hug is nice, but it is nothing next to l
ove that needs no demonstration, love that just has to be
allowed to be.
Love is not meant to be dependent upon your thoughts. Love is
not a snare that traps you. There is bigger love than personal love.
Personal love is practice for universal love. The Great Ones
simply loved. They loved all. They did not bill and coo love.
They loved. The way a flower reveals its sweet scent, the
Great Ones revealed their love. Love is bigger than life.
You are bigger than life.

Let love be, and laugh.
Love in the world searches for Oneness. Everyone wants
Oneness. Everyone craves it. Love is not out there, beloveds.
That is not where you find it. You find it within yourself.
The sunshine of love dwells within you. And the sun shines
on all.
You have had glimpses of love. You have had glimpses
of Oneness. Now you are going to see more love, feel
more love. You are going to let love out. You will not
be a sponge of love. You will be a giver of love. You
will stand tall and give love wherever you are and
whatever you are doing. You are simply going to shine
your love everywhere. And the sun is going to shine on
you, beloveds. It already is. You would not be here unless
the sun has been shining on you.
You are at a beautiful place now. You are on the verge
of love, and you are going to go all the way with love.
You will not have to hold onto banisters. Your love will
fly free. As it flies free from you, you are exalted. Love r
ises to Heaven, and you are risen.

A GRATEFUL HOLIDAY – THANKSGIVING

Posted on November 25, 2010 by marygrace

BELOVED,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Today I will spend the holiday alone physically. I used to
begrudge the stores that remained open on holidays thus
preventing families from being all together. I have a
different perspective now which I am grateful for. With this
economy, people are being given the opportunity to earn
extra money which is sorely needed.

We can celebrate Thanksgiving every day as we become
aware of all that we have to be grateful for. My youngest
son Bruce, was given the opportunity to earn extra money
today as was my daughter-in-law Angelica, my oldest son
Steve’s wife. For that, I am grateful.

I laid in bed this morning grateful that I could gently ponder
all my blessings and then rose to greet a day where I could
just be kind of in slow motion. I put on my large furry soft
housecoat and slippers that cushioned my feet and just
leisurely went to the bow window to see what the lake had
to offer me today. The sun is not out and it is 32 degrees but
as I stand looking, the heat is right below me so I am toasty
warm.

There is nothing spectacular to look at but I am one with Mother
Nature as the mallard ducks are ducking their heads below the
water to nibble on the weeds which is their food. They are also
preening themselves at the edge of the water. The smaller birds
are flitting around nibbling and the ones who are still are small
puffed up balls as they expand their feathers to retain the heat.
The larger birds are flying around, going from tree to tree and
across my view of the water.

While I enjoy the spectacular views that are sometimes there, it
is because of the comfortable day to day views that make them
so memorable, It is much like our day to day activities, they make
the holidays so memorable when we gather together in remembrance
of the love between us.

Bruce called me as I settled in meditation to wish me a Happy
Thanksgiving and I was in even more gratitude afterwards as
I resumed my prayers. After being filled up with Love and
Gratitude, I settled down again to enjoy a breakfast I usually
only allow myself on Sundays. Since becoming diagnosed with
Celiac and needing to be gluten-free, one of the treats I missed
most was bagels and cream cheese. I used to have them for
breakfast every Sunday.

Well, a new brand has appeared in the gluten-free market. UDI’s.
Their bagels are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just
like regular ones. Even people who do not need to be gluten-free
enjoy them. As I was shopping at Peas On Earth, a gluten-free,
vegan and organic store, I noticed Organic cream cheese. It has
such a mild sweet flavor (not sugary) that it really was the topping
on the bagel(cake). I am so grateful for those who continue to try
to make our food taste scrumptious instead of like cardboard.

At my age, it is a treat to find something I have not eaten before.
Since I am alone today, I decided to make myself a Cornish
Hen which I have never had. I am looking forward to
having that along with mashed potatoes and butternut squash
with a touch of maple syrup for my Thanksgiving Feast. and guess
what? I also found organic ice cream sandwiches with gluten-free
ice cream between two gluten-free chocolate cookies for desert.
Yummm!!!! Am I not blessed?

Most of all, I want to thank you for being in my life. If not for
you, I would not have the opportunity to put to pen my musings
and thoughts. You are a light in my life which allows me to be
so grateful for being human. We humans are one with Mother
Nature and all the gifts She has to share with us. Where would
we be without our Beloved Planet, our home? Earth supplies us
with all we need to live and the opportunities to be with one
another in so many myriads of scenarios. Let us be grateful for
one another and the diversity we share.

Please come along with me in feeling the gratitude for each other
and what we have been given. Thank you again for being you.

Simply gorgeous!
This may be one of the most beautiful and meaningful streaming videos ever created. Be sure your speakers are on.
