Happy Halloween/Blue Moon

 Happy Halloween.  Happy Full Blue Moon.

Halloween consists of us changing, transforming, special, fun and often gory things.  

A blue moon is a full moon that is the second full moon in the same month.  It usually isn't the color blue and it does not happen frequently.  A full moon happens every month.  Two full moons is more rare.

Hence, the staying - 'Once in a blue moon'

Wherever we are in our lives; whatever we are doing; whatever we feel,

May we treat ourselves and each other with loving kindness; as much and as often as possible.  It works like magic.  !!

I am interested to see how we all feel after the energies of this weekend pass us by.  It is my hope any ugly and hurtful 'gory-ness' goes away as the moon wanes.  In it's place, peace, healing, light and love.   

Autumn Sky

Autumn Sky!  It flows in.  It flows out.  It reflects.  It has its own unique vibe.  It is inviting.  It is beautiful.  It is colorful.  It is expansive.  It is a gift. 

May you be open to your life being this and much more.   

They sky was magical this evening.  It felt like 'promise'.  It felt like 'hope'.  It felt like a gift.  And within me, a stronger, anew, perseverance was lit.

May you live all that your life is, through all that you are.  May you connect to all that you are grateful for.

Stress Happens

When you feel yourself stressing, breathe deeply.  All the way in.  All the way out.   If you find that it is not so easy, let your autonomic body take over.  Give the wheel to your body’s innate knowing.   Let your mind shut down and your body just be.   Invite breath.  Invite your innate wisdom.  Feel the chair/floor/earth/bed underneath you supporting you.   

You can choose whatever one of your available choices you wish to.  There is always a choice.  There is always innate wisdom with(in) you.  

May you relax into the simple but brilliant functionality of your being.  In this kind of moment, perhaps, nothing matters more.   Give it to yourself baby!   It is always available to You — Your genuine unique life.   May you accept You as You are through love, truth, openness, relaxation and trust.  

In this and in supporting each other in this, we best rise.    

May we all be open to purposefully lift and raise one another higher through these strange, interesting, unknown, and unsettling [yet to create better] times.  

What we believe within ourselves often becomes our truth.  May you believe what you wish your truth to be.  May you be aware of what you are believing. 

 Aware.  Feel.  Keep/Change.

'Think’ your best You; as often and as much as possible.  

Missing Broom Found

Did anyone lose their broom?!?   Anyone...?  

I saw this floating by this morning.  I'm sure one of you are looking for it. !! ??

Just in case, I thought I'd let you know that it was found.

Bahahahaha!

May you sweep yourself deeply into and through your own jovial heart, soul and spirit.  

Fall Tree

A tree stands strong and adapts and flows with the seasons.  It grows; it lets go; it blooms and blossoms.   It sheds and grows bigger and brighter.   It stands tall in the calm.   It sways in the storms.

   May you be like a tree.   Beautiful.  Glorious.  

How simply perfect is it that it takes in our carbon dioxide and offers us oxygen.     

Every where; in most situations, there are parallel and supporting processes uplifting us and offering us valuable connections, insight and gifts in conjunction with this thing called life.

What if nothing happens 'just because'.  What if everything happens for a reason.  What if you encountering or being in the presence of someone and you open a conversation with them... would they have something valuable to share with you...  We don't know unless we open to it.

Trees give us value.  Weather provides us with lessons to adapt and experience.  People offer us lessons, love, situations and experiences to learn, to grow, to become and to respond to -- even if our response is we have no response.

May you be aware of how you respond.  You are the common denominator to everything you experience.  

Be like a tree and flow with all the seasons that you are asked to weather.  Be glorious You.  Be Beautiful You.

We are all one piece of a magical ensemble.   

You are the common denominator for your experience of connecting to life and living.  

May you let your experiences be so; freely, innately, from within yourself out. 

"Just 9Be U"   "Grow Yourself Complete"  Again and again and again..

Bloom

Here comes November.  It is just around the corner.  It holds my longest and dearest friend's birthday and it also holds my beautiful and brilliant daughter's birthday.  One day after the other.  One is the 7th; the other is the 8th!  What a blessing this has become for me.  Such a fun, blessed and celebratory time it is for me to honor the gifts of their lives in my own.  Interesting enough this friend's daughter's birthday is only 3 days away from my own.  We often joke that we are raising each other.    

And, with the thought of November coming, I am also amazed that I (and many of us) have made it to November 2020 and still have sanity; mostly.  Ha.

It has been a year of 'stuff'.  A year of great unknown.  A year that did incite fear.   A year that did invite individuality, yet the greatest universal togetherness that, perhaps, has ever been experienced.  Each one of us, throughout the world has been touched deeply in one way or another from the experiences of 2020.

Awareness has bloomed.  Truth has bloomed.  Mindfulness, trial and error has been mandated, perhaps, more than ever before.  Confusion, stillness, chaos and proof that the human race is something to be better, just maybe, defined.  

It feels to me that we are in deep, still/yet/anew.  So much is coming up through irritability, fear, love, truth, dis-ease, discomfort, and realization.  The gamut of  our feelings are often loud and 'free falling'. 

May you go with what is shown to you and what appears to be so and what comes up for you.  Be aware.  If there is not much understanding, perhaps, open to any lessons that may be knocking.  Watch your own reactions.  Feel them.  Object and confirm.  Choose which best fulfills who you are and who you want to be.   

We all bloom in different ways; different times; through different obstacles and with different beliefs.  We can all, however, choose to bloom through our own inner love and aptitude...   Let bloom what you are good at and what brings you joy.  Use your superpowers of uniqueness that uplifts our world.   

May you get joy by doing the things that make you most feel like You.   

It Had Me at 'Belonging'

 I was listening to a lecture on ‘Embodying Your Empathic Powers’ by Wendy DeRosa.   I was half awake and half asleep.  I woke up more fully just in time to feel myself  'just knowing' that what was going to be said would be about 'belonging'.  It is the one subject that Wendy decided to focus on in this very moment.  It could have been about almost anything and it was about 'belonging'.  The word was in my mind a second before she stated it.  That woke me up.  

I often have struggled with this.  Feeling different; feeling like I want to hide my true self for fear of ridicule.  I often felt that I was not like many of my loved ones and close friends.

I felt more things. Or at least ‘things’ called for my attention and I needed a feeling of connecting to things people, animals.  I was told I was too sensitive.  I was told I needed 'thicker skin'.  It felt like I was more touched by moments than others displayed.  I often made a mountain out of a mole hill some would tell me.  I got affected and responded to things and people easily and deeply.  I felt my whole being wanting to be involved and needing to connect to every one that walked my path or even crossed my path.  

I believed what I was being told so much that I created a dis-ease within myself (or one grew from within) that gave me actual thicker skin. I feel my nerve endings vibrating especially in my fingers and extremities.   

But I'm getting off track.   

As Wendy talked about belonging, I shivered and shook.  I imagined myself not from my past but in the present.  I accept myself for all of my differences.  I believe in owning my differences and building on them, loving them, knowing I belong in this body doing what I am doing, loving how I love; myself and others.  I open to all that I am, that is or feels different, just may be, my very own superpowers.

May you open to everything that you are, that is or feels different being your very own superpowers.    

I love the word 'free'.  I like the feeling of being free.  To embrace and own all that I am.  To think that who I am can be a benefit to those I love and in the way that could really matter.  Alas, just breathing gives me the right to belong.  I belong because I breathe.  Let no one's judgment of me, or inability to hear me, or my own inability to show myself  - stop me from being free.

May we all free ourselves by owning and belonging to ourselves; owning what we feel, what we want, what we need and how we mobilize and breathe the body and life within us.

Open our hearts [that belong to us and are us] and fly...
