Atmospheric Change – Do You Feel It Too?

I feel like there’s an atmospheric change in the air these days.  I know there’s a full moon tonight and I was reading about the changes in astrology, energy, 5D, etc. so I’m figuring that what I’m experiencing, you may be feeling as well.  It’s like shedding the old skin and emerging with strength, love and light is finally beginning in earnest.  Letting go of what we felt we knew and embracing life out of our comfort zones.  Merging with a higher power so to speak.  Not regretting when we let go, but feeling at peace with the changes.  Holding tenderness and gratitude for memories of before and open-armed for what is here and what the future holds with delight!  Do you feel it too?

Computer-wise, mine has been acting wacky for a few days.  The internet issues, for awhile the N key wouldn’t work, then the computer suddenly changing screens!  I thought it was possessed with a virus, but then it healed itself.  Bizarre.

I’ve had lights flickering for no reason.  Strange, inexplicable noises bumping in the house and weird coincidences (some positive, some not so much) that have been happening in the last few days.  The word EERY comes to mind.  The cats have been even staring at something just above my head often.  I look around, but I see nothing.  I know that animals sense things so I’m wondering what’s going on?

Friends have reported other wacky computer issues which only lasted a little while as well.  Navigational systems that don’t work, then suddenly fixed themselves without rhyme nor reason.  Important phone calls which were missed by an accidental touch of the finger causing much strife, but then finally were remedied a few days later.

Mini lessons in patience, in allowing and in understanding have been the key to getting through the atmospheric changes as far as I can tell.  Allowing information to come when needed.  Not allowing posts to be published, comments to be made and forcing scenic routes when navigation doesn’t work, in addition to delayed important information which caused strife, but also gave a good lesson, are just some of the changes I’ve noticed.  It’s as if we are getting a new beginning where none of what we thought we knew applies.

How about you?  Any atmospheric changes in your life recently?

Shine On!

Autumnal Changes

These are those hazy days when summer and autumn meet and blend as one fades and the other picks up its place in the change of seasons.  Winds blow, gently shaking the turning leaves from their branches.  Flowers wither, returning to Earth’s bed for a long winter nap.  Air cools, stuffing the humidity from the air with briskness.

I love the change in seasons.  For as much as many dislike change, we seem to welcome the change in seasons easily.  Perhaps if we could welcome change in our lives as easily, we could welcome with courage instead of shrinking in fear the changes that are inevitable in our lives.

Seasons change.  Relationships change.  We clear out the old to make way for the new.  It does not serve us to stay closed in our boxes in fear of the winds of change that blow.  It only serves us to ride the winds of change into the next chapter of our lives.

With all the full moon, eclipse and blood moon in addition to the astrological changes, along with the equinox, we’ve had a bunch of changes in a row.  Keep your face to the sunshine dear friends.  Changes blow out the old and present the new.  One baby step at a time, change is good.

Hey, it’s October First!  You know what you have to do right?  Repeat after me, “Rabbit, Rabbit, White Rabbit, White Rabbit!”

Happy Fall Y’All!

Shine On!

What’s Your Essence?

Flowers for You!

This photo came to me this morning from a friend.  Because I’ve not been posting and have been very quiet lately, she sent me the above shot, with the caption, ‘flowers for you,’ as she knows how much I adore flowers.  In her sweet way, she just wanted to send me a photo of a tree which she saw during her walk this morning…but I saw more.  I saw my friend in the photo as well ~ her shadow, her essence, her kindness ~ her spirit.

It got me thinking…and this post emerged from my heart.

In everything we do, we share a touch of ourselves.  Even within the most mundane tasks, our signature essence shines its light on the job at hand.  Think about it.  You share your essence with everyone with whom you meet and come into contact ~ be it the grocery clerk, a stranger on the street, your family and friends, pets, neighbors, cyber-friends and even ants on the pavement.  You are constantly in motion sharing your essence.  Even cleaning the toilet, wiping the counters or doing whatever your work is, shows us YOU in how you complete the task at hand.

So who is that YOU?

Are you kind-hearted, helpful and loving?  Or are you angry, resentful and mean?

Are you caring or are you burnt out and blah?

We all go through periods in our lives where we aren’t ‘our best selves’ for whatever reason.  We can become ‘a shadow’ of negativity in our own lives.  We can find the negative instead of the positive in everything we experience, in everyone we meet, in all things.  I’ve heard recently that astrologically, we are in a bit of a cycle of change in which we need to flow to allow the changes that need to happen to occur so that we can come out on the other end, better, stronger and more spiritually planted in our lives.

For me, this period of change hasn’t been easy.  I’ve been busy with changes and upheavals so I’ve simply not had the time nor inclination to blog so I hope you’ll forgive me for my absence.  In my heart, I know that this period of unease is necessary and there are lessons to be learned.  No matter how much I balk at them, they remain, ready to be learned so that I may grow from the experience.  Finding the stillness as our dear Laurie explains in Laurie’s Notes click here, is possible, especially when we have caring friends who can help us as we walk this life journey.

As always, we grasp hands and hearts, connecting to help each other ~ trusting in the future, knowing that the Present of Presence is ours, right now, to enjoy, to experience and to benefit from this very special moment here on Earth.

Shine On!

P.S.  Does anyone know what the name of this flowered tree is?
