Enroute to the rooms in my mind.....

There are places I go when I go within. They are ancient, magical places that are familiar to me in a way I cannot explain. There, I find the answers. 

Isn't It Spring....YET??!!

I sit here as the snow swirls around outside my window. Just the other day I was out walking around my yard peeking at the new growth just starting to show itself. How exciting, I thought. I love spring. The freshness. The newness. The surprises. I honestly can say that I can feel it in my Being. There is a feeling of gratitude that encompasses me. I wish I could bottle that feeling for days like today.

Just a Penny

Just a Penny
The thought came into my mind, “It’s just a penny”. I began to contemplate…..

 It started as a thought put to a piece of paper. It then went through many drafts and needed the approval of many. This small thing of value developed to pay a debt or buy food for a family. Most times the debt paid in combination with other coin, but quite possibly, from one small child to another.

 It took men and women to find, gather and process the metals that were to be used not just in the penny, but for the machinery needed to make this penny. It quite possibly cost some their lives. Also, I think about the buildings that had to be built to manufacture the penny and security to keep this thing of value safe. Already, hundreds of people have “touched” this penny and it hasn’t even been made yet.

 Once produced, it begins to circulate. It is shiny and new. It finds itself being moved from place to place, from hand to hand. Over the years it has touched ...many. It has been lost and found and lost again. It has been appreciated by some and cast away as useless by others.

 This penny may no longer be shiny, but it is still of much value to me. I appreciate all of the men, women and children it has come in contact with from its conception and I send them heartfelt blessings. What dreams have been connected to this penny?

 I recognize the integrity within it, proudly having “Honest Abe” visible on its front and carrying its belief “In God We Trust” fore most on its mind always.

 And so to me, no….This is NOT just a penny.

 

Matter Doesn't Matter

Matter doesn't matter......

We all have Spirit around us....always. These perfect Beings are our own little army of greatness. But we must do four very important things. We must ASK, BELIEVE, ALLOW and THANK.

There is NOTHING that they cannot do. They want only that we be happy.

To not use them once you know of them is shear silliness. It would be as if you were drowning and you refused to use the life vest handed to you.

ASK. Start small to gain the confidence. Before you leave your driveway, ask for a convenient parking space. Ask for a short wait at your next doctors appointment. Then ask for more and bigger.

BELIEVE. When you ask, they immediately jump into action setting things in motion in order for you to have exactly what you just asked for. It is The Law of Attraction and their love for us. Believe in them. Believe in yourself.

You must then ALLOW them to bring what you ask for to you. If you are doubting, you are not allowing. Know that their timing is always perfect even though it may not be your timing. Don't let this deter you. There is confidence in this knowledge.

Then simply say thank you.

It truly matters not what you ask for. Matter, doesn't matter.

Operation Dream

Last night as I slept, I had a dream....or was it something else?

I fell right to sleep last night. Now that doesn't happen as frequently as I would like. I heard a voice say that I was in the hospital for some surgery. As the night went on, I would occaisionally "come to" as if coming out of anesthia. Things were foggy, but I felt quite comfortable and at ease. Each time I awoke I would be in a different room. This happened a number of times.

I felt that the part, or parts of me that were being operated on were not physical, but more on a spiritual level. It was like my core was being addressed. Then my chakra and also my head. I also, at some point felt as though I was receiving an attunement of some sort.

This morning when I woke, I felt both very calm and relaxed. These feelings have continued throughout the day along with a sense of power and knowing.

The trick for me has always been the ability to hang onto the feelings of the greatness I (we all) have within. Why do I struggle with this?

Start Where You Are

Standing in a doorway in my mind, wondering why I feel stuck.... I have heard people say to start where you are. Okay, but where in THE hell am I?! I then appear to be standing on a stepping stone seemingly floating in mid air!
"Step forward" I am told.
What? Step forward?
"Yes, step forward".
So I do. As I step, I feel as if in that instant, everything has been stripped away, like a tablecloth that has been stripped from a set table. I look back and realize that I have just stepped out of my body. There is what looks like a costume of me lying in a heap on the ground yet I still feel intact. I'm confused. What just happened?
"You no longer need all that baggage. It is holding you back".
But that's ME!?
"No, that is not you. You are a wonderful Being that has learned and experienced many things. That is just the book's cover. What's important is within. This simple fact has always confused and eluded you".
"Start where you are".


 

At Any Given Moment

At any given moment, remember just this...

Latitude, Longitude = Where you are physically

Attitude = Where your head is

Gratitude = Where your heart is 

 I love rocks. I love stones. Always have. Always will.
As a kid, we had a big wooded hill next to and behind our house with so many different size rocks to play on. Each one would take me on another adventure from riding a horse to riding a whale. Where ever my imagination dare to go. Those of you that know me, know I have never lacked imagination. I would play with them for hours alone,      but never feel alone.
I remember taking all of my books out of my bookcase and putting them in a pile on the floor so as to have a "proper" place for my top possessions.
Rocks make me feel many things:
Happy.
Relaxed.
Calm.
Loved.
Grounded.
Powerful.
Ever hopeful.
Unconditional.
Comforted
Strong.
Peaceful.
Spiritual.
Settled.
Accepted.
Safe.
On and on, all positive.
I have a very special stone. One stone that I hold closer and encompasses all of these things. My very own touch stone. I just wish I could express this and show it more openly.
You, Lee, are my touch stone. Without you close, I sleep with the lights on.
I love you. Moah.

I just love this tree.....

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.

A Place To Be Still

My garden.

A place to be still.

A place to hear the faint whispers of my true Being.
