Day 4 Photo-A-Day
This is my new favorite sweatshirt, thanks to my daughter who works at Oregon Garden. She has teased me for the last four years about wearing my old 'faves' from Tucson. Lol.
"You live in Oregon now, Mom. It's time you paid some respect to our state."
I love the color of this, but what's even better is that when I wear it, I feel wrapped in daughter love.

Everyone Wants It
No doubt about it ... everyone wants love. Every. Single. Human. Being.
Does that mean romantic love? No. It doesn't have to mean that at all. What it does mean is that we, as spiritual beings having a human experience, want to know who we really are. The only way we can do that is to love our "self," including all of our shortcomings, failures, and missed opportunities. We all have them; they're part of the aforementioned human experience.
Once we accept that we have them, we can then go about making choices that serve us better, which is at the core of self-love.
I've learned that if I don't make loving choices for myself, someone else is going to. This applies to relationships, freedom, peace of mind, integrity, money and more. How many times have you made a choice to do something because someone else influenced you, or you did it because you wanted to please that person? Even though it didn't feel right in your gut, you did it anyway. The time to be done with that is now.
Self-love isn't about ego. They're two very different things. It isn't about feeling and acting superior to anyone else. It's simply about listening to your own intuition. It will never steer you in the wrong direction.
A simple question we must ask ourselves is "what do I want to happen in this situation?" Then speak your truth.
Self. Love.

Humble and Kind
I'm currently on my sixth attempt at reading A Course in Miracles. It's not an easy read the first time out ... or the second, third, fourth and fifth. At least for me.
Some people get it on the first try. I admire them.
This time, though, it has become clearer for me. Who knows why, but I believe it's easier because I've let go of some of the 'stuff' that kept me from the core of its message: Love is the only thing that's real.
In fact, one of the first passages is this:
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
(I'm not going to go into further detail from the book. I could write volumes but one has to experience it for themselves if they're so inclined).
Today I came across this Tim McGraw video which kind of sums up how we can make life easier and happier ... always stay humble and kind.
Be good to yourself and others. Namaste'

Emancipated Genie
One of my writing prompts today was ...
In answer to the question, coming up with my number one choice was tough because I had so many, but the one that rose to the top was a foster child; someone who wishes for a family to wrap them in love; to make them feel safe and secure. Someone who just wants to know that their life matters; that they have been chosen by adoptive parents.
Who would you give your three wishes to, all you Genies out there? Post your comments below.
Did you see the full Christmas moon tonight? It was glorious!

If I was a Genie and had just been emancipated from the confines of my bottle (and I have a lovely bottle - not the garden variety brass one, but all hand painted with beautiful palm trees), whose three wishes would I grant and why.

I could write about this image all day long, but I'll just let it speak for itself. Whoever created this is a true word wizard. Word wizards know how to evoke emotions and paint pictures with words. Amazing!

In Memoriam
Today is the fifth anniversary of my brother's passing. I can't believe it's been this long. He was my only sibling.
Gone but never forgotten, I truly believe he is still with us in spirit. The soul never dies.
We had some good times and some less than good, but I thank him for being a major player in my life's "movie." I love you, Mike! Namaste'

Fur Baby
I happened to have my camera out in the yard the other day and as I was walking in, look who was there to greet me ... our little black-faced fur baby! She's eight years old now; starting to get a little gray around her muzzle but still spunky and oh, so sweet. We love you, Daisy!

View from the Bus
Had some more fun with the geese by adding a view from the old bus.
It reminds me of the old school bus my brother used to drive when he was a senior in high school. He would pick me up on the cold, snowy days in Nebraska. He wasn't supposed to because we lived pretty close to the school and the principal thought the kids who lived close didn't need to ride the bus.
But Mike picked me up anyway. I was his first stop and he had me sit right behind him where the heater was. Thanks, Mike! Even though you're gone, I still feel your love. Namaste'

Life Moves On
I had a another conversation this morning with my neighbor who lost her daughter a couple of weeks ago. She was in her early 40's and we both agreed it was way too soon for her to go. I simply can't imagine her loss, and don't want to allow any thoughts of something like that happening in my life. It just doesn't seem right that a child should go before their parents. My mom experienced that with the loss of my brother. I have no words when I think of her pain.
Each time I've seen my neighbor since, it seems that we share many beliefs:
Each time I've seen my neighbor since, it seems that we share many beliefs:
- that life moves on ... whether we choose to participate in it or not
- that sometimes our loved ones give us signals before they get ready to go
- that sometimes they give us signals from the other side of the veil
- that we will never be the same but will learn to live a "new normal"
- that people, when hearing of our loss, can feel rather awkward, not knowing what to do or say
- that it's okay to cry
- that everyone has their own version of grief
- that we almost always ask ourselves "what if?"
- that faith can bring grace and peace, so it's okay to let go and let God

Petals
Sad day. You are subjected to your mean-spirited father and stepmother who have influenced your judgment and feelings about your mother. I feel bad for you and your mom but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just your grandmother and as such, grandparents have no rights.
Believe me when I say that the day is coming when the darkness will serve the light. You can see it in this flower. I love you and wish you all peace. Namaste'

Finding Peace on Earth
Christmas Message from the Masters of Light (re-blogged from a post on Steve Beckow's blog) ...
Peace on Earth WILL become a reality, for this is the Plan of God.
In Christian Countries of the world, the focus of world peace has always been strongest during the month celebrating the birth of Jesus. Peace and love among all peoples were His most important messages. Today, that focus is constant as wars between races, religions and countries scar the earth and bodies of millions of people almost daily. Where is the Peace that the Angels promised? It is with you now & it always has been.
It was not peace between people and nations the message relayed; the Angels told of the Inner Peace that connects to the Mind of God, which automatically generates Good Will to Men! Consider that and see how very right it feels. The message was, and always has been, that humanity has that divine connection and it is only a matter of understanding and accepting the reality in order to be able to reach down deep within to access the Perfect Peace of God.
The message was not just for the followers-to-be of Jesus, but for the entire world. The words of the Angels were carefully preserved so that their meaning would eventually be understood by all humankind.
The word Peace as it is commonly used now, denotes the state of a lack of hostilities, in any form. When the world can live in such a state, able to raise children in a safe environment, grow food without unfair restrictions or mandated procedures, travel to any destination without hindrance, live and work with each other cheerfully, giving and sharing in joy, the world will experience the existence of real peace.
Before any of this can happen, however, before the world can come into the promised new age of peace, every living being must come to accept the Inner Peace & the inner connection with All That Is. How can a person who seethes with resentments live in peace with his/her brothers and sisters, giving and taking fairly and honestly? How can a person who lives with fear every day of his/her life, expecting a tragedy around every corner, relax and enjoy what life can really be? How can a person who must fill his/her ego with thoughts of supremacy work and live with those who are considered of no consequence because they look, think, and worship differently than they do? Inner Peace erases all such discrepancies.
How does one access this Inner Peace? The heavy clouds of daily cares, appointments, schedules, car repairs, computer breakdowns, keeping the kids in line, problems in relationships, etc., etc., keep the mind in many different focuses at once, all trying to command the primary attention. Emotions that spring from the daily round of thoughts engulf the nervous system, the heart, muscles, and the digestive system. Constant television commercials publicize certain diseases or common ailments, blowing them up to encourage the mind to accept the premise that the listener must certainly need their high-priced drugs to ease their suffering. Millions of dollars are spent each day for drugs that are not needed and do tremendous damage to the bodies they are supposed to be helping. Listen to the very quiet and rapid recitation of side effects that go with the ads for drugs. One even admits that the drug might bring on the flu as a side effect! Listen carefully!
All of these things keep the mind and body in a state of tension that forbids the conscious mind to relax and set aside a few minutes every so often to tap into the Inner Peace. Indeed, how often do most people even think about communication with their Creator through a few moments of prayer during their day? Would you believe that even a short “Hello!” to the spiritual sources of all things is welcomed as the acknowledgment of the reality? A few “Thank You’s” to your Angels for making things easier is very welcomed, too. If you cannot do this, accessing Inner Peace is impossible. You must know that it IS there! You must know that it takes the determination on your part to put your mind into a state of stillness in order to find that Peace. One does not have to sit in meditation for an hour to find it, although many people find this is the only way to train their minds to be still.
Inner Peace is not just a state of mind, but the very profound connection with universal energy and Creative Power. When that connection is made, even if only for a few minutes, it suddenly becomes apparent that all of the spiteful thoughts, all of the anger, all of the tangled webs of humankind, are simply of no real importance. The answers to problems become simplified, the blocks of memory or thought suddenly become clear again. You can see and understand the confusion behind all of the rhetoric of fear and annihilation that is produced by minds denied the clarity of Inner Peace.
European and Eastern nations who have been killing each other over the acquisition of ancestral lands, trying to erase those who think, speak and worship differently than they, continue their thoughts of hate and retaliation. Revenge for the terrible wrongs that have been committed is creating more terrible wrongs. This part of the world will not see a peaceful world for themselves and their descendants for a long, long time. The enlightened few are struggling bravely to turn this kind of thinking around, but it will not be easy. Where and when will it end? Worse yet is the infection of bias and bigotry that has been part of the human race for centuries.
When Inner Peace has been accessed, the realization of absolute unity with all humanity comes into view. One understands that the outer appearance is only a façade that spiritual beings use to experience a lifetime in matter. Yes, there are differences between spiritual beings, too, for the Creator saw to it that each created being is an individual, with its own thoughts and goals. That is why personalities differ so drastically. All of the experiences each being undergoes through the eternal stages of their lives, both in spirit and in matter, molds the spiritual personality just as much as the human personality, affecting the thoughts and goals of the incarnated soul. It is the Inner Peace, that connection with the Mind of God, that directs the beings towards wisdom and knowledge of the highest order. It is the Inner Peace that fuels the recognition of each person you meet as a part of yourself in some way. All of the qualities and characteristics of humanity are mirrored in the people you associate with every day. This realization is a beautiful relief from all of the little petty attitudes and resentments that are carried in the heart and mind & they hold you down and keep you from the joy you really desire! You realize you are no different from those you thought were either not as good as you, or so much better than you! All expressions of life are different as each individual reacts to them in different ways, echoing many eons of experiences. Inner Peace brings all of the Creator’s children together in simple, perfect Love.
Peace on Earth can be accomplished in your own home when both parents recognize the harmony and clarity that comes when peace is part of the thinking process, a part that remains close to the surface of the conscious mind, regardless of the many problems that surface each day. Disagreements can be quickly solved because of the clarity of mind that sees both sides of a question without the ego interfering. Negative outside influences can be explained to children from a universal, spiritual point of view instead of letting emotions run wild. This clarity of mind helps to avoid dangerous situations and/or to react without the mind turning to mush. The inner connection, when used constantly, eventually brings one to a point where the lies or misconceptions of others are seen without effort. Commercials or other methods of mind control are no longer of any effect. Inner Peace is a clarifier of thought and a kind, loving touch to the heart and the emotions. If humanity had never discovered this, your world would not have lasted this long!
The Inner Peace we are speaking of is NOT some namby, pamby, weak emotion that invites the scorn of others! It is an extremely powerful force, drawing upon the energy of the universe! As one dwells within the influence of this Inner Peace, it is like standing on a mountaintop, able to command all that you see, hear and feel in perfect harmony, a place where the personality has the feeling of supreme self-confidence.
Please help others to realize what a wondrous piece of creation they really are. They are partially a spiritual being that has all the knowledge of the universe at its fingertips, and partially a human being who is trying to understand life at a physical level, bringing a lifetime into real focus.
As this year comes to a close, it is apparent that the world is changing rapidly, bringing new experiences and challenges never even thought of in prior years. Finding your own Inner Peace will bring the realization that it is humanity itself that will bring world peace to perfection. You are the catalyst that will turn humankind’s concept of life and living completely around. As you live within the inner light and by the loving laws of the Creator, a new world is coming into play, just as planned. You are its Creators!
Peace on Earth WILL become a reality, for this is the Plan of God.

How to Keep Stress to a Minimum During the Holidays
The holiday season can be so joyous and yet extremely prone to creating real stress. Don't let your holidays be ruined by nerve-racking experiences. Here's some inspirational insights to help you keep your stress to a minimum this year.
Ask yourself if your expectations are realistic? Are you going to be getting together with family members that you normally prefer not to be around? Do you feel obligated to buy gifts for people who you aren't really close to? Do you get invited to events that just don't appeal to you but you feel obligated to go? Believe it or not, these types of scenarios take place every year for millions of people. Why? Because we don't want to hurt someone's feelings so we sacrifice our own and then become resentful. If you want to stop that cycle, then just think carefully before you decide what to do. If it's a NO that you decide upon, say it as politely as possible but make it very clear that your answer is a firm NO. If it's a yes, then realize you committed yourself and see it through (hopefully in a very enjoyable way). I know people who purposely take the holidays to go away somewhere so that they're not caught up in the family frey. Las Vegas? Mexico? Hawaii, anyone?
Are you scheduling too much in too little amount of time? No one has more than 24 hours in a day. Try to remember that as you plan your pre-holiday events and accept invitations. Enlist the use of a calendar or day planner, either paper or electronic, so that you can feel some measure of control over your time. And don't feel bad if you've overlapped something by mistake. Just inform the parties involved and they will understand. We all make mistakes, especially at this hectic time of year.
Do you have a holiday budget or are you over-spending? Over-spending can be the biggest source of stress because we know what will happen ... we have to pay for those items sometime. If not now, then later. Just the dread of getting the credit card bills in the mail is enough to keep you from having a good time during the holidays. Stick to a budget. You'll be so glad you did come January when all the lustre and shine of the holidays has disappeared.
Sometimes our holiday stress comes from missing loved ones. If someone you love has passed on, change things up this year so that you can make it through this rough patch. There are lots of support groups with people going through the same kind of grief at the holidays. Tap into that for some healthy and supportive ways to cope. Last year at Christmas I just let myself "be" because my brother died in September. So I was pretty easy on myself and so were others around me. Of course I missed him, but attending a grief support group was such a lifeline for me.
The holidays can be the worst time of the year for us in terms of taking care of ourselves. My advice is to make sure you're eating healthy meals and drinking plenty of water. Dehydration (yes, even though it's not warm outside) can sneak up on you before you know it. Water supports every organ in your body, so if you plan on doing some holiday drinking, be sure to increase your water intake.
This may sound crazy because of all the running around we're doing at this time of year, but exercising is really important. Take a walk out in nature, ride a bike, do yoga, etc. Any form of exercise can be a phenomenal stress reducer. It's also good for lowering blood pressure, which could rise when crazy Aunt Mildred walks through your front door on Christmas Day.
One of the best things about the holidays is that more people open their hearts to acceptance and forgiveness. If there's someone in your life that you will be around this year that this applies to, give it a try. Even if it's a silent blessing from your heart to theirs. After all, the season really is about love.
The holidays are supposed to be a great time. Take good care of yourself and practice things that will eliminate some of the stress. I hope you find these tips helpful.

The Adventurer's Oath
I just became a fellow adventurer of Mike Dooley and have taken the oath:
"In the face of adversity, uncertainty and conflicting sensory information, I hereby pledge to remain ever mindful of the magical, infinite, loving reality I live in.
A reality that conspires tirelessly in my favor. I further recognize, that living within space and time, as a Creation amongst my Creations, is the ultimate Adventure, because thoughts become things, dreams come true, and all things remain forever possible.
Sunset at my house - 11.20.11
As a Being of Light, I hereby resolve to live, love and be happy, at all costs, no matter what, with reverence and kindness for All. So be it!"
Namaste!

God Bless Rose
Our dear friend, Rose, (see post of Oct. 25) just had to undergo a 4 1/2 hour surgery to clear a blockage from the port in her arm. The port was inserted a couple of years ago for dialysis. She only has one kidney functioning at 5% now. The surgeon cleared the blockage and apparently she had her first dialysis today. We were all hoping she wouldn't have to do dialysis at all but it seems it might be the method that keeps her with us a lot longer. We sure hope so and hold her up in prayer, light and love.
Here's a rose for our dear Rose:
Namaste!

Jump Start of Creation
The jump-start of creation is gratitude. Neale Donald Walsh said that and I believe it's true. As I had a conversation this morning with my daughter, we both found ourselves being grateful for all kinds of things. One led to another and another and another. You get the idea. We could have both stayed on the fast track to complaining but decided to go in the opposite direction. And what's strange is that we both veered into the gratitude lane at the same time. As the conversation ended, I realized how grateful I am to have her in my life. I've often said that even if she wasn't my daughter, I would choose her to be my friend.
There are lot of synchronicities going on everywhere around the planet. But not many that you'll see in the MSM (main stream media).
When was the last time you made it a point to think of things that you are grateful for? If it's been a while, why not do it now?
Today's picture is worth a thousand words. My grandson, Blake, and I'm grateful for him, too.
Namaste!

Abundant Supply
Sourced From: The Code ~ 10 Intentions for a Better
World
The source of your supply is so immense.
It's all there just waiting for you to tap into it
The source of your supply is so immense.
It's all there just waiting for you to tap into it
Most people don't realize it, but hoarding always
shuts down the flow of our abundance, while giving always comes back to us in
great measure. The mechanics of this phenomenon are easily apparent once we get
past our old attitudes about "saving for a rainy day." It works like this: when
we hoard something, whether it's our money, our time, our resources, or our
energy, we're actually doing it because we've pictured ourself in a situation
where we've run out of things. We've envisioned ourself down and out, perhaps
even destitute and depressed. Now, this vision is a thought, and it will work
its way into physical manifestation just like any other thought we keep our
attention on. In other words, by saving for a rainy day, even though our
motivation is to have extra resources for later on, we sabotage our future and
create the exact opposite of that which we truly desire for ourselves.
Lee Ching told us one night in our spiritual guidance session that followed our Intenders Circle that it furthers us to bring our limiting thoughts to light so that we can replace them with thoughts which will bring our abundance to us. There's a good example of this, he said, by looking at how the kitchen faucet works. When we open the valve, the water comes in and the water goes out. But when we close off the valve, the water can't come in, so it also cannot flow out. It's the same with our money and our resources; we close off the flow of all good things coming to us by our thoughts of lack and our subsequent acts of hoarding. By the same token, we open the faucet of our abundance and keep it open by spending, not frivolously, but responsibly.
When we spend without worrying about it, we send a message to the Universe that we have enough of everything we need, and that we trust that there will always be more when we need it. It's this posture which delivers our abundance to us (if it's for our highest good), and provides us with enough to spare and enough to share.

I intend that I always have enough to spare and enough to share.

P.S. Love yourself; enjoy your money now and abundance in the here and now. You can't take it with you.

The Help
I just bought this book today. I've heard that it's really good. After reading only a few first pages, I'm already hooked. From what I understand it's her first book. Bravo! Way to go, Kathryn.
I also learned that my stepfather has prostate cancer. He had it once in his forties;he is now 88. Scary business but I pray for the right outcome that's best for him.

IL VOLO sings 'O Solo Mio and I get goose bumps
This group of Italian teenagers has the most amazing sound and I love them. I want to meet them someday and hear them sing in person. OK, call me a groupie!
Namaste!
Namaste!
