In the Shadow of the Cross

 This was the reflection in my kitchen this morning

 

Golden Tresses

Our Ancestors Believed the Willow Could Heal Us

Magical Properties:  Inspiration, Binding, Love and Healing

There is something magical happening today.  It reminds me of a weeping willow with its long tresses gently swaying back and forth in tune with the earth's rotation.  

Something magical, indeed.  

Maybe the Gods and Goddesses are finally coming to humanity's plight; maybe more of the Unknown is to be revealed so Man will know his True origins.

No more hearsay, no more innuendoes, no more lies, no more doctrines of darkness keeping the Truth buried.

More and more we are learning about the Good within us.  We have so much to offer this planet if we could only remove our shackles.

~Liberation is at hand~ 

Listen to the trees; listen to the earth and most of all, listen to your heart.

Getting to Know You

Choose from the list below.  Pick out one action that will define your week.   Identify those things that are pulling you down and holding you back.  Make a note of them in your phone or write them down in a notebook that you carry with you.  Whenever you catch yourself behaving as the word describes take note if it's negative and/or positive.  If negative, vow you'll try and do better.  Keep score assigning any amount (number) for positive and negative. 

Tally up your score at the end of the week.

Do you ever feel like pulling a heavy blanket over you, and wanting to hide in a very dark place?  Maybe you've got a bottle of wine with you or something else that makes you feel good.   

It's okay.  I've been there. 

Nobody to talk to, nobody understands, leave me alone, what's the point of even talking to anybody,  anymore because nobody has a clue as to how I'm feeling, right?  

You are experiencing something that will continue to define you as a human being, (emotions) someone who is vulnerable, someone who is having trouble accepting things, someone who was taught to believe in something but, somehow, now his or her trust has been betrayed, someone you looked up to is now someone to be feared, or something you believed in has now proven to be false.   

When you lose all trust in someone or something it's a big deal.

I'm here to help because I know.  I've been struggling with this trust thing my whole life.

The dark you're experiencing is nothing to be afraid of.  It's actually a womb where we are able to go and hide in order to sort things out.  (Think of depression).

It is there for us to see us to help us through a period in our lives where what we perceive is impenetrable or the seemingly impossible as we grope our way along a darkened path.       

Whatever it is that brought you here to this dark place, think of it not as something negative or to be feared but as something positive to you regaining a healthy balance in your life.

You are not an earthworm but a firefly who metamorphosis at just the right time in order to let his or her light shine.  

I was prompted this evening, after I had gone to bed, to get up and post this because I felt there was someone in need of hearing this.   

Whoever you are, you are in the process of self discovery and will do what is necessary to get yourself back on track.

First Faith and then Trust,

Gone with the Wind

This is the time to make important decisions

Because the wind is at your back and

Not in your face

We are on the cusp of something wonderful

Happening here on earth

The winds aloft are steadily pushing us

Gently steering us forward

Along our paths

We look neither left or right but straight ahead

There is no Wrong Turn

This is good and positive energy

Coming out of Heaven and 

Raining down on earth

We are all Scribes, now

Knowing what is best for us

And what is not

The universe will have its way

You are part of the universe

And not just along, for the ride

Get a Life

It's amazing how a compliment can affect you.  You've had a bad day, you've had a bad week, then someone takes the time to take you aside and compliment you for something.

It could be a simple thank you or something more.  

Suddenly, you're feeling better about yourself and everything negative that was pulling you down begins to fade away.

Negativity is an oppressive thing and we're all subjected to it day in and day out.  No wonder there are so many people with mental issues.

Our environment (what we're subjected to, where we grow up, where we work, etc.) has much to do with whether we're happy or miserable in life.   It really boils down to people.  Look at who's creating all the problems in the world...it's not the plant and animal kingdom, its people.  

If you start taking note of how your day starts, the television news, the people around you and whether they are constantly putting something or someone else down, can definitely contribute to whether you're feeling confident and happy or down and miserable.  

Pretty soon it can become a permanent part of your life as you're always expecting the worst in yourself as well as in everybody else. 

There are so many chains that hold us back in life and many times we're the ones who made the links. 

It's time to assess and readdress so....make today a positive day not only for yourself but someone else. 

Get a new life and say something nice.
