Every dark cloud has a silver lining

Greetings!!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Circumstances that seem disastrous, hold in their Divine Mystery, outcomes that surely can only be seen as blessings...

Today, allow yourselves the opportunity to use Remembering to take you to your own tempests, and see them for the silent blessings they have brought.

Storms

There will be storms, child
And with each tempest
You will seem to stand alone
Against cruel winds

But with time, the rage and fury
Shall subside
And when the sky clears
You will find yourself
Clinging to someone
You would have never known
But for storms.

Visions and Daydreams

Where do we go when we daydream.......  

As a child, I learned to "let myself go" and spent a lot of time in a daydream state. I call it my "Happy Place" ... it drove my family crazy...  

What I found out as I worked to develop my intuitive abilities was that;  this is the place where visions occur, that the "daydream" is the vision, the connection with the Universe, where the pictures we see and the things we perceive are messages for us to unravel...  

 I can have a conversation there with Creator, guides, relatives and ancestors, and use that information for my growth....  

Through practice, I can now do this for others, who are unable to do this for themselves...  

We all have this ability. We are all getting messages this way, but we discount them as simple daydreams, we do not purposefully go there in meditation in order to "hear" what we need to know...

We do not trust them to be the truth.  

The Universe waits patiently for us to come to this ourselves, or sneaks the messages to our higher selves by putting the waking us in a dream state...

Sometimes, you meet someone like me who gets the message to you...   Lets practice being still and dreaming the answers to our Journey...   I would love to hear your thoughts...    

Here is the thought for the day!!  

A community service reminder ... from the Universe:
YOU RULE.
Your gifts are innumerable.
Your insights are profound.
Your choices are endless.
Your touch is healing.
Your thoughts become things.
Your power is indescribable.
And you are loved and adored, on moment to moment basis,
more than you can now understand.
YOU RULE.

Finding our dreams without fear

Greetings!!  Happy Monday;  

Mercury will begin it's retrograde July 23, however, we are going to begin feeling it this week, as it approaches, for further info go to Mercury retrograde.    

What dream do you leave unfufilled because of fear of suffering?

  Here is the Thought for the day;

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."
Paulo Coelho, from his book "The Alchemist"

Finding Truth in the Lies we tell ourselves.

Greetings,  

There area many difficulties on this Earthwalk, most of them have to do with coming to the Truth; the painfulness of the Truth as we emerge from the lies that we tell ourselves.  

We are set into these illusions from birth, the Tooth fairy, Santa Claus, The Easter bunny. We continue to set up fantasies because life could not be Magical enough the way it is...

Remenber how you felt when you found out it was a lie....  

My Son and I were having a discussion about secets, and lies, when he said; "Well Mom, tell me about Santa Claus, is that a lie?"

"Yes", I said, and  then I proceeded to "come clean" on all of these things, (the Tooth fairy, Easter bunny etc) 

He asked why we do that?  I said, "Well, parents just want you to believe in Magic." 

He said, "Mom, you show me that Magic happens every day" .....

How can we tell our children not to lie, when they cannot trust us to tell them the truth, always.

It took some time for me to redeem myself in his eyes. I never want to feel like that again.  

But, what of the fantasies that we continue to perpetuate, because we do not want to feel the pain of the realization that we have been duped?  Or we have duped someone else? That we have duped ourselves?

Thus begins the struggle...  

Instead of admitting our place and financial limitation, we live on the false security of extended credit. Rather that love and honor what and where we are, and live within our means..

We need to trust that we will receive abundance from the Universe, see the Magic that is already afoot in our lives with out creating false hopes..

Seeing the Magic of messages and messengers.

The ability to have Faith, ask for Guidance, and Listening patiently for the answer.  

If we look at life in the clarity of the Sun, Illuminating the shadows, life begins to be Peaceful, and we begin to live Free, walking in Beauty and Truth and make our Dreams come true..    

Here is the Thought for the day;  

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.

Loving all Things

Good Morning!!! Happy Thursday!!  

This month will be allowing ourselves to Love All Things, and receive that love in turn unconditionally.  

 So many times, we withhold the best parts of who we are in out of fear.   Fear of judgment, of abandonment, of jealousy, mistrust. Then, because of this behavior, those things come to be ...  

Most of these feelings have manifested from another time, other people and experiences, and we continue to carry this knowledge into every other relationship, or encounter that we have.  

Even in the way we treat our Sacred space, our Environment, Ourselves; punishing, instead of Loving.  

Then we wonder why all our relationships turn out the same? Is it those we are in relationships with?  

Or..... could it be that it is us, predicting and presuming, and making it happen?  

In this time of self reflection, leave these experiences with the past...   Give honor to what we have now, for what it is. Give unconditionally of the self.  

 Write a letter, take ownership, forgive the self and others. Put your letter in a fire pit, watch it be consumed and allow Creator and the Universe to take this burden, and allow Love into your life.  

For if we do this without reservation, we will see that Love and Happiness are already there, we are now willing to accept it with an open heart.

  Here is the thought for the day!  

To Believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.
It is to trust that miracles happen,and dreams really do come true.

To Believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,
To know the wonder of a stardust sky
And the wisdom of the man in the moon.

To Believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,
The innocence of a child's eyes
and the beauty of an aging hand,
For it is through their teachings we learn to love.

To Believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.
When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.

To Believe is to know we are not alone,
That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.

To Believe is to know that wonderful surprises are  just waiting to happen, And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.

If only we Believe.

Welcome to the Good Red Road

Good Morning!!

Here is a reminder of why I am doing the Thought of the day!! Please visit the web Journal link and comment on any of the daily entries. The purpose is this journal is to be a place of sharing and growth, and if you have any questions, feel free to email or call me directly!!!

Welcome...This journey we are on is just a speck in the hourglass of time..... Many indigineous peoples describe it as the The Good Red Road, the Earthwalk.

My intent with this journal is to help you find your inner voice, the one that is drowned out by the chaos of living that keeps us from hearing that wisdom we were born with.....to remind you that all your Spirit wants is peace and love. Thats all...it is that simple.

Spirit brought you to this place in time, as we meet on the Red Road, two Souls on a journey, to sit and chat before moving on.

This journey I chose, for it challanges, struggles, conquests, lessons. Each of us, a part of the whole, each a piece of each other. A Mirror for each other. Each of us an example to reflect back to the self.

This is not about changing others, this is about changing the self, and when we do that, we can then honor others at all phases of their journey, like children, all in different phases of learning.... All a reflection of some part of you.... and we don't take it so personally.

So, Welcome.... This page may make you think, unravel your "stuff",  make you laugh, find forgiveness, forgive, let go, de-clutter, get angry, let anger go, remove the mask of who you have been told to be, and finally look in the mirror and be happy with who you are, the natural you.  Then, you will be able to be still, and hear the guidance that we all came here with. 

All the answers lie within.

 
Namaste,(I bow to the Godlight in you, that is also in me)

Celebrating lifes victories!

Good Morning! Feel free to respond to any of these messages on the web log! I love the encouraging thoughts, your responses could help others who are reading the blog.

Well, here we are in the New Moon. Now is the time to accept with the barrenness of today, to begin to create new hopes and dreams for the coming month.  

 It is also a time to reflect on how far we have come, celebrate our progress.

For some of us, it is as simple as going to a restaurant alone. For others, it is as complicated as releasing ourselves from the past.  

Regardless of the size of the accomplishment, anytime we are moving forward, stepping over obstacles, we need to give our selves a round of applause..  

It is a celebration. It means that we have moved beyond our fear to make progress, to be free, liberated and independent from the ball and chain of doubt.  

Hooray!  

Today, take the time to see the progress you have made, and make plans to make more strides in your personal path.

  Here is the thought for the day!!  

 The only conquests which are permanent

and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves.
