Flourish extenended

I found this lovely quote this afternoon after writing my blog and needed to share it. Seemed fitting.

Flourish

I was sitting here playing bejeweled contemplating what I wanted to end the year on my blog with and start the New Year with something of meaning. Never think that Hod doesn't work in mysterious ways. Because I get a news blurb from Fox that simply says choose the word flourish for your word in 2017. The definition of flourish according to the Merrimack-Webster dictionary is to 1. Grow luxuriantly. 2. To achieve success. B. To be in a state of activity or production c. To reach a height if development of influence. 3. To make bold sweeping gestures. There is so much to be gained by making this your word for the year. Because whether your working on spiritual, personal, or career goals (or all the above). This word does not limit you. Remember try not to make New Years resolutions or to call them that. We are not good at keeping resolutions that we make at New Years. So set sort term realistic goals. Even long term goals. Write some affirmations that pertain to your goals and if you choose the word flourish as your word for the year add it to your affirmations or at least one. Say your affirmations in front of the mirror at least twice preferably three times a day and say them each three times. It's amazing how affirmations can change behavior. Keep them positive. There can be no negative words in an affirmation. Not even words you think might not be. Stay very positive and uplifting. The one I used when I lost weight the first time was I am slim, healthy and physically fit and I feel engertic proud and confident. It helped me Lose 70 pounds. I need it agin after gaining the weight back after breaking both feet and being immobile for 18 months. Excited to get started now that I have been released to do so. I know I gave the tools. It's my goal among others this year. I wish for you an exciting, prosperous, spirit filled New Year. Love & Light to you All!

New Moon Magic

Tonight is the New Moon. Time once again especially tonight with the New Year fast approaching to set your new intentions for the coming month. Think of all the good you can accomplish in your life if you set your goals tonight under the new moon. How exciting will it be to have the power of the moon lifting your intentions and goals.its already in numerology a time of new beginnings. With the e d of the nine year cycle and the beginning of the next. It's time to set a whole new set of intentions. You can set long term and short term intentions. You can just feel it in the air like this is a jump off point for something exciting. Like something new and us just around the corner you never saw coming and it's going to change your life. Grab hold and run with it like you never have before. Think of all the possibilities a new year brings. So today take a piece of paper and write down your intentions for the month. All the things you want to accomplish before the next new moon. Don't be unrealistic. And be kind to yourself. Then if you can at 11:54pm (otherwise wait until dark) and go outside and read your letter to the New Moon. Remember there won't be a moon to see tonight. While reading your letter really feel yourself setting your intentions to the universe. Keep in mind your intentions can be anything. You want to not be running late everyday, you want to be kinder to people, you want to study something you have always loved, your going to excercise more, or whatever it is you are looking to do. Your the one who knows what needs to change in your life. Change it! It is possible. It's not always easy but it can be the most worthwhile accomplishment you have ever done. Love & Light to you All!

Happy Christmas

I hope you all enjoyed a Happy Christmas. And especially remembered that it is not always how much you get for Christmas but the thought involved in the gifts received. I had one of the happiest Christmases ever. And there were very little in the way of gifts. The biggest was that I travelled to Oregon to spend the holiday with my ex-husband so he would not be alone since our son is deployed to the sand box. Something we are both very proud of him for. But he spends holidays with his dad since he doesn't have family like I do. My ex husband & I have become best friends after years of ugly and fighting after I left him. I realized I couldn't blame him for everything. It really was 50/50. I had to own my part. And when his mom died we licked ourselves in the house for a week and gave ourselves the biggest gift. We gave ourselves the gift of forgiveness. Not only to each other but to ourselves for the mistakes we made. And now we are friends and no longer hold those mistakes over each other's heads as weapons. We had a fun Christmas Day just the two of us. We had a wonderful dinner. I cooked a prime rib, made gnocchi, rolls, and roasted brussel sprouts. Gnocchi by the way are an Italian potato dumpling served with a sauce. I made a spaghetti sauce this year. Then we watched movies when I wasn't busy cooking. I opted for a couple older ones that my ex agreeded sounded good that he also hadn't seen in years. Usually we give movies for Christmas and watch them but he isn't in to my new genre of movies and was too concerned he would get me the wrong movie. And I bought him a large gift set if a BBC television series we used to watch religiously. It's called " Are you being served?". It was hilarious. We weren't up to getting into 69 episodes of that. But otherwise we just did stockings. My ex had asked for ideas. I to,d him I was having allergic reaction to anything but gold or silver earrings and needs studs. I have 3 holes in each ear. He gave me 3 pairs of some of mom's nice earrings. He asked if that was ok instead of buying them. I said I would much rather have mom's!!! I have some of her other jewelry and think of her every time I wear it and all day while it is on. I can feel her with me. I feel like she is having my adventures with me. So it really is the thought that counts. Love & Light to you All and wishing you had the happiest Christmas!

Winter Solstice

Merry Winter Solstice everyone! What a beautiful day to welcome the sun back into our lives and celebrate it's coming. There are many rituals that can be done as a group, family or individual. The fire ritual for individual or groups is one of my favorites. On a small piece of paper write down what you want to release. When everyone's written their release down. Throw it into the fire. Seal the ritual with drumming and a howl. Let yourself be free of what your releasing. There are other rituals if your unable to have a fire. Search the Internet for winter solstice rituals. It's a time of renewal and new beginnings. This ties in with our numerology. Where we are coming to the end of our 9 year cycle. It's an exciting time of change and new beginnings. We have a whole new world to look forward to if we are open to it. There is so much out there to explore. I myself am excited especially after discovering my gifts. I have to keep following the path the Lord has set out for me. Helping all of you find your path is part of that. I can't wait to see where the new year takes us. Happy Winter Solstice! May your rituals bring you peace. Love & Light to you All!

Flying Reading

Readings can happen in the strangest places I found out on my way out of state for the holidays. My first flight of the day was seriously delayed due to the fact the airport I was flying out of was not equipped to handle the freezing temperatures of that morning. It was actually the sun that got us on our way and not de-icing. As I was boarding my plane after having to have my connecting flight rescheduled I noticed the flight attendant greeting us as we boarded. There was something about her and I did more than the quick hi but said to her I hope she had a Merry Christmas. She however was not might flight attendant. She was the first class attendant. When the flight attendants were serving snacks and drinks one of them asked me if I was from Santa Cruz. I said no but near there why? She said I had Santa Cruz silver jewelry on and just looked like it. She asked me what I did for a living. I said I was a medium. Her chin dropped open and she asked me if I could help her friend. The flight attendant I had spoken to when I boarded the plane had lost her adult son recently. She was not doing well. Could I see what I could pick up from her. Well doing that is tough on a plane full of people. If I open myself up I can get anyone's messages. I had shut down so I could block everyone's vibes so to speak. So I tried just concentrating on her for the rest of the flight though I was getting things from others interfering. But on my way off the plane I asked if I could speak to her about her son. I gave her some information she needed to know. It wasn't hard concentrating on her the pain she gave off was like waves of the ocean. I could feel them. A lull and then the next crash. I hope the information I gave her was comforting. I only gave her what I was able to pick up. Would live to have had a quiet place and more time but God puts us where we are supposed to be at the time. Remember that. There is a reason more than I knew that I was coming to Oregon and it wasn't just my desire to be there. Love &  Light to you All!!!

So Grateful

As I am preparing to leave to spend my holidays in Oregon I am reflecting at how grateful I am for this past year and for all I really have. I am looking forward to a peaceful & love filled holiday & hope to bring some joy to my ex-husband. That's what I most hope to accomplish on this trip. Holidays when we were married were not always peaceful and happy. There were fights and stress. And I realize how petty it all was. Of course we were two different people then. All I want to do for Christmas is make amazing food & eat & watch movies. A little snuggling on the couch will be in order. As I am grateful for all I have been given. My illness is better so I am able to fly. I am have found my calling this year after a lifetime of searching for what it is I am supposed to do. There are some people that never find what they are looking for. I have been so blessed to have been called to be a light worker for God. And I promise that I was far from your bible thumping Christian. I didn't attend church since childhood really. A couple times when I was married I tried to find a church that fit my needs but never found one I could call home. I had firmly held beliefs though.  I never doubted there was a God. Even when I got diagnosed with my disease. I was angry with him & didn't understand and went through the "Why me". But I never doubted my God. The things I have learned opening myself to the gifts I kept closed off from for so long. Have changed my world. I understand the lessons we are here to learn now. There is no longer a "Why me" its "Why not Me". Its my lesson to learn. And having access to my Spirit Guides and Angels is a blessing that cant be ignored. Everyone has the ability its opening yourself up to your individual gifts. We are not all alike. Every medium is not alike. We all work differently. We see things differently. But we all must be grateful for our lessons and the gifts in this life we have. Because if you look deep into your soul you know your better because of them. Love & Light to you All.
