One of my readings to contemplate this day is about relying on my Higher Power to take care of me. God has taken me this far (53+ years in this lifetime regardless if I was a believer or not) and I can decide to trust for that to continue. Trusting is my choice. If I choose not to, I’ll land up in fear, not a pretty place. Dear Spirit of the Most High –I open my heart and mind to Your taking care of me at all times, in all circumstances.
Spring and rebirth are definitely on my mind today. I spent quite a bit of time searching for the right photo banner of spring flowers to insert in our upcoming e-newsletter that when I next looked out the dining room window I appreciated the scenery more than usual. My eyes took in the view of our lush palo verde tree, large, delicate pink roses, vibrant violet ruellia, and expansive torch bouganvilla. With birds chirping in the background, my heart swelled. This beauty points to God. Today, the weather has varied from chilly to warm, calm to windy, sunny to cloudy. Like this spring weather, we feel excitement and expectancy, yet mystery about us. As Rog and I grow our businesses that allow us to be creative and of service to others, meet like-minded people, prepare for our move north, and appreciate our time together, we follow the guidance of Spirit, not really knowing what will unfold. These are exciting times we are living in and we are up for the adventure! Spring is my favorite season of the year. It’s about rebirth… possibilities… life… God.

I recently started using Craig’s List as a tool to get clients for my computer-related projects business. Through me placing an ad under “Services”, I received a call from a woman writer down in Tucson who said in her voicemail that she thought I was exactly the person she’s been searching for. Those words, coupled with her name, Felicity, and her warm, bright energy, made me feel Spirit was very much involved in our connecting. Felicity signs her emails “Love and Light…” I’ve also used Craig‘s List in the reverse way, i.e., searching for people who have advertised that they’re looking for someone for a particular “Gig.” I started searching in the Phoenix area, and moved to other Arizona area listings. Then I was inspired to check out the Big Apple, my former hometown and “The City That Never Sleeps.” Sure enough, there were plenty of listings there for me to offer my help. I’ve since moved on to Dallas and Chicago as well. I connected with a NJ company president of an on-line vegan restaurant in need of help with his e-newsletter; Michael signs his emails “Peace Blessings & Joy…” And, I have a telephone appointment scheduled tomorrow with …Continue reading →
God was with me at 4:45 this morning when I went through my Kundalini yoga practice. God was with me as I enjoyed morning coffee with Rog, contacted prospective clients, cleaned bathrooms in a barter deal, and worked on my website. God was my companion as I folded laundry, responded to emails, and ate my meals. God has been with me throughout this day, in my activities, in my mind, in my heart. And, God will continue to be as the day turns into evening… and beyond. God is my strength, my peace, my Source.
Dear Spirit; May all the insight that came through to me this special evening be remembered and utilized as I go through life tomorrow… and tomorrow… and tomorrow.
Rog’s ‘dowry’ included a bread machine. He kept it idle for a while, then started using it again last fall. I finally got up the courage to learn how to use it a few months ago so I could make breads of the whole grain variety, my preference (I can be pretty picky about some foods). I usually don’t follow a recipe after the first time. Okay, even then I tend to experiment. Nevertheless, using fine quality ingredients, the bread usually rises well, looks good, and tastes great. However, there are times when the chemistry of the combined ingredients causes my concoction to form something that looks like….well, that doesn’t quite look like a loaf of bread! However, despite its looks, it usually does taste great, which is the most important thing. Like the bread I concocted yesterday… It never did form into a ball or rise properly. This got me thinking about me and my life. I’ve not led the life of the average women of my generation, and I’ve not been afraid to experiment and try new ways. Also, I may not always look great and I may not respond wisely in every single situation. But the ingredients …Continue reading →
“Home is where the heart is… “The place where we live becomes a home when we fill it with love. We do this by being love that builds up and supports, understands and is compassionate, forgives and accepts forgiveness. We do this and even more as we live from the love of God within our hearts.” – excerpt from Daily Word, April 4, 2009 As we prepare to move north and set up a new home soon (still don’t know where or how yet), I find this writing apropos. It explains why wherever I have made my home, it has always felt “cozy” and full of warmth within its interior walls. It’s because I’ve put my spirit into it – I take myself wherever I go! This will be the first time Rog and I choose and create a home together from scratch. I know that regardless of the material possessions we furnish it with, our next home will be an even greater welcoming sanctuary full of love than our present one. We take our love wherever we go.
Yesterday I got irritated with someone I really love and get along tremendously with. It was the same old pattern and I was sick of it. My peace was disturbed and I wanted it back, so I gave serious consideration around the matter and prayed for God’s guidance. I got the idea of separating the person from the ego. So I placed the ego aside, and then I felt peace. Once again I felt the love that my own ego had tried to annihilate. Ahhh – what a wonderful feeling! Also, I realized that whatever I was disturbed about was really about me, not the other person. The pattern was mine to claim and hence mine to change. This is the case always. When I met with the person again, the energy was back on track to its usual peaceful, loving place. This incident was a tremendous learning for me and one I hope to remember. Thank You, God, for Your guidance and for my willingness to listen and be open to change.
During our recent first energy shifting & frequency raising connection meeting, it was suggested to me to start practicing Kundalini yoga to help open blockages within. The suggestion resonated with me because about ten years ago I was given the same guidance. For whatever reasons, I never followed through. In re-listening to the recording of that healing session, I know that this is still sound guidance. Now I’m ready to follow through on this suggestion. I am so done with repeating the same patterns that do not serve me well. I want to be all that I can be and receive all of God’s blessings. And, my new friend who is experienced in Kundalini, volunteered to guide me in the experience. I’m not passing up this opportunity. Kundalini is an enormous reserve of untapped potential within each of us. It is normally depicted as a coiled or sleeping serpent, located in an area towards the base of the spine. The benefits of gradually and safely awakening this serpent and employing its power include an elevation in consciousness, promotion of physical well-being, and an expansion of awareness. These benefits sound like they could have a direct positive impact on my life. …Continue reading →
