Our “new normal” is a continuous changing “new normal”; which means it has not settled into a “normal” position that we know, and it won’t. …

It takes all our concentration to keep breathing and pushing to bring this New Earth into life. Pushing through the out-moded, out-dated and crumbling global systems is d-i-f-f-i-c-u-l-t. …

I know you all know about staying centered, calm, ‘in your happy place’, breathing and the like, when hit with fear, anxiety, angst and worry. You wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t aware of that. However, we are in very unusual times. In fact, times that we have not been in before, when the entire world is hitting ‘pause’ as the corona virus travels through. …

Outdated realties are being dissolved and destroyed and a new reality is coming into our lives. A reality that can better sustain life and growth with a balance that benefits all of humankind. It is most uncomfortable on many levels, but it is most necessary for us to reach our higher good as humans. …

Are you making sure you’re feeding yourself good food, good emotions, good thoughts, good behavior? And what defines good? Ultimately you do. You decide what tastes and feels good for your body and spirit. …

Those words are sung so eloquently by the late, great Sam Cooke and they echo where we are today. You’ve been told by myself and others that we would see positive changes begin to emerge more and more as we slowly clean up the chaos that has accumulated over the eons. While there still is much to clear and clean up as we go through this Ascension process, this time of Transition, I want to share with you a few of the brighter spots I’ve noticed in the news. …

Okay let’s talk about Uranus! Yes Uranus, the planet of the surprise, the unexpected and the so-called, ‘lightening bolts out of the blue’ effect it has on life. Uranus, the Awakener. …

I’m going to talk to you of frequencies, vibrations and the inter-relation we have to each other and the Universe. In many newsletters I have spoken of staying positive, be full of gratitude, practice forgiveness, be compassionate and the like. All in the name of LOVE. I know, I know…unicorns and rainbows; bunnies and butterflies…but that imagery or even feeling like that can be very tenuous with all the chaos going on around us geophysically, socially, politically and economically. …

There is a river in New Zealand, the Whanganui River. It is the largest navigable river in New Zealand, or Aotearoa as the Maori call New Zealand. This river became the first water system in the world to hold legal ‘personhood’ status in March of 2017. The river is now recognized as a right-bearing entity — the Whanganui River is no longer property of New Zealand’s Crown government – the river now owns itself. …

I often get asked questions that have to do with one’s purpose in life. What am I here to do? Why am I here now? I recently found a wonderful answer that I want to share with you. …

March was a month of “allowing” for me. Allowing myself to sleep in when I wanted to. Allowing myself to stare into space for as long as I wanted to. Allowing myself to goof off whenever I wanted to. Allowing myself to burrow in and work when I wanted to. Allowing myself to follow my inner guidance in a deeper way than every before. And it was/is fun to explore. …

For eons we have been turning to figures of authority for our guidance. A constant turning outward to find our way. While many figures of authority have wisdom and guidance that we have relied on; it is time for us to add a very important voice. Our own! …

2018 has started with lots of astrological energies. We had a Super Moon on the first day of year in Cancer. A Super Moon is when the full moon appears closer to the earth than usual. This is due to the elliptical orbit of the moon. This full moon was intense with a lot of emotional energy highlighting the feminine. This is demonstrated with the Women’s March, the #MeToo and #Time’sUp Movements and the revealing of the darkness exposed in the USA Women’s Gymnast Team doctor’s recent trial. …

During this Holiday Season many have wished Joy to us all. While I wish to add my sentiments to this seasonal wish, I also want to stress that we have a responsibility in this Joyous Season also, as stated below:

“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day”. - Henri J.M. Nouwen …

2017 has been seen by some as the awakening of the Divine Feminine here on Earth as we travel the Ascension Path. The Divine Feminine awakens a need to be part of a whole with more emphasis on a connection to the world of Nature. Using qualities of compassion, wisdom, forgiveness, love, beauty and gentleness this feminine energy leads us to look for new ways to Be in the world. …

We are in the midst of much physical upheaval here on Earth. We have always had geological upheavals of some type or another, but these are happening in rapid succession when compared to the past. Many of us know that this is the time we have been told was coming: The Transition Times, as we move from fear based 3rd Dimensional environment to a fearless 5th Dimensional environment. …

What does it mean to ‘be in the world but not of it’? This is a phrase that crops up regularly as one looks at spiritual growth. It definitely sounds like some type of good advice, but how do you apply it to your life? It’s not quite as straight-forward as ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ …

It has been almost 9 weeks since I last wrote a newsletter and much has transpired during this time. I have been noting internal changes with myself as I’ve ‘danced’ with the external changes and it’s been most interesting. Happy to report fewer and fewer emotional ‘hooks‘ internally, in fact, a stronger and stronger return to a center of peace and neutrality as I observe the world and the chaos. …

I find it a bit difficult to believe that I wrote my first newsletter just a year ago this month. And that April, 2016 newsletter was titled ‘Comments on Changes…’. The disbelief is about both the time and the subject matter of Changes. Time passes, for me, very rapidly now with something that occurs two or three days ago seeming to be almost weeks ago and things occurring hours ago seem like almost a day or so ago. …

“Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” ~ Rumi

Sounds beautiful, doesn’t it? But how do we get there from here? Is it even possible that there really is a field like that out there? What if I start on a journey to that field and fall into the abyss? What if I’m the only one out there standing like a fool in the middle of this field all alone? …

Yes, I’m sure by now you’ve heard that the path through all this din, chaos, calamity, struggle and just plain noise is to be joyful and at peace. But how does one achieve that when you can hardly hear yourself think above the daily trials and tribulations: Have Joy & Peace! …

Astrology is practiced in different forms throughout the world. Chinese astrology has 12 animals representing the 12 divisions or houses in the sky, Rat to Pig. Legend has it that all the animals were told to heed an emperor beckoning their presence and the first 12 animals were given the honored places in the zodiac. Most of us are familiar with the Western astrology with it’s zodiac belt of 12 constellations from Aries to Pisces. Jyotisha or Vedic astrology is practiced in India and has several sub-systems of interpretation and predication with heavenly elements such as lunar mansions or houses.

So how do all three of these systems of astrology view January 27, 2017? …

I was considering what to talk about in my January newsletter and astrology came up. Many people are interested in what the stars portend for a brand new year, right? And I realized that there are many astrological sources available via internet, social media and articles that describe 2017 in astrological terms. So what could I add to the conversation? What could I share that would be of interest? …

As we contemplate the Holiday Season and look to a New Year, we often review what we have been through in our lives. Throughout life we face situations where we become, for awhile, broken, crushed, and downtrodden. Many of us have felt like this lately, in light of the state of the world and how it appears and our own personal travails. …

Many of us are feeling very unsettled, uneasy, unsure of what’s to come and how to handle these uncomfortable feelings or even what to do about them. We are in the midst of times of great change and restructuring of our personal inner worlds of feelings and thoughts, and most obviously, many many external systems are undergoing transformation. How do we reconcile differing opinions of friends, families, neighbors, society, the world in general and live in peace? How do we weather these tides of change, these storms of chaos? …

I have only captured a few of the profound words of the Desiderata by Max Erhman that have been powerfully illustrated by Gavin Aung Than at The Daily Good. The words of the Desiderata have always been deeply meaningful to me, but coupled with the brilliant illustrations it really brought a state of deeper calmness and peace, yes peace, this morning after the election. …

Greetings Dear Ones,

I wish to share more with you on the subject of Beauty. With many of the indigenous people who live on your planet there is a knowing of being in harmony with Nature. This way is sometimes called The Beauty Way and practitioners are invited to Walk the Beauty Way. …

Develop the Heart

On my office wall is a saying from the Dalai Lama titled Never Give Up and within this he states: “Develop the heart. Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart. Develop the heart, be compassionate…”. For eons we have developed a logical mind with strong reasoning powers to guide us through Life. The mind has led, with the heart following. So how do we switch this around? How do we move the heart to the front? …

Here we are on the 9th day of September, in the 9th month of September, in a 9 year (2+0+1+6 = 9) 9-9-9. . . we are completing a cycle. We’ve been building up our spiritual muscles for our next cycle as we rise higher in awareness. We have Mercury retrograde for much of this month (Aug. 30th thru Sept. 21st), and had a Solar Eclipse on the 1st of the month/New Moon; Lunar Eclipse arriving on the 16th of the month/Full Moon and the Fall Equinox on Sept. 22nd. All these astrological configurations act as vortexes, gateways, portals bringing in new waves of energy to lift us higher and higher up the consciousness spiral. So, I say be sure and look for the beauty, joy, a smile or two as we traverse the landscape filled with these high vibrational energies. …

The astrological energies this month have loosened up a bit. Mars left Scorpio on June 29th and is now in Sagittarius where it can act as an energetic push into lighter more future-oriented endeavors. Also we have Saturn going direct (moving forward) in Sagittarius on August 13th. So with two important planets in Sagittarius we may now have energy to move forward on projects that had seemed stalled or progressing slowly. …

This newsletter has been slow to be born… I have started, deleted, re-started and deleted it again, three times, because the way to approach the information kept transforming. It’s been a good analogy to the very astrological energies we’ve been dealing with so far this July. When energies are moving backwards or retrograde it’s not so easy for us humans to achieve forward motion or progress. …

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found that coloring is a wonderful meditative state for me. When all else fails I put on a CD or audio tape I want to hear and get out the coloring book and pens. I’ve been doing this for a number of years but I’ve just found out recently that coloring for adults is the ‘new thing’. Well, if so, that’s great because we adults need the head/heart/soul space coloring can bring. …

March certainly came in like a lion and left like an entire pride of lions. There were few if any lambs sighted during this March. We had a solar eclipse, a new moon, a spring equinox, a lunar eclipse, and two comets visiting us. The energy provided by all this cosmic activity was intense! The energy hit the earth in the form of light vibrations of such a high intensity that they’d never been experienced on earth before. …
