Here I Am

Here I am about to start my new chapter, I have no idea what lies ahead of me, and that in itself is rather exciting. I will be having a little break from blogging until I have the Internet connected in my new abode, maybe a week or so, so don't go anywhere I will have LOTS to share..............

Tonight I Am................

Tonight I am having a sleepover at Max's house............ I only have two more night before I move into my new home and Max will join me on Sunday. I thought it best that I go and have a wee bit of kitty one on one time with him so that he could bond with me a little more, and know that SOON he will be able to sleep on my bed with me EVERY night!!!!!!! I know that as Friday fast approaches I am feeling a mixture of emotions, and some precious cat moments is just what I require to allow me to adjust to all that is going on...................

Thought For The Day.....

What other people think of you Is None of your business

Thought For The Day.....

Forgive everyone everything

Forgiveness is the key to complete inner freedom, forgiveness of not only Our Self but, of All others. By forgiving Our Self of our own mistakes we set in motion a chain of events that will see our Soul cleansed of the angst we hold inside. By extending that forgiveness to those within your life story that have upset or hurt you in anyway wipes away the barrage of negativity that lies sleeping in your heavy heart. The act of forgiveness is simple, just sit within the stillness of your heart, draw the person/s image to mind, surround them with love, forgiving them of whatever it is they may have done, meditating on this divine energy see the love that beams from your Heart, feel its essence weave its way across the boundaries of our third dimensional world and straight into the Heart of those whom you bond with. The ripples of pure love will echo for an eternity showering not only those you surrender your Soul to, but, also the rest of humanity as they walk slumbering in the manipulations and games that hold them prisoners in their own tired and hate filled hearts............

Stolen Moments..........

Stolen moments in the tranquility of nature nourish my Soul, taking me back to the heart of my Earth Mother, cradling me within the sanctuary of her love. Observing with adoration the graciousness she gives, allowing myself to Be, connected and in harmony with her bounty....

Yesterday I Retreated..............

Yesterday I retreated to the quiet seclusion of my beloved ocean, hours of meandering, sitting, just Being, alone and content with the company of my Creator. The winds cleansing my aura of the draining energy that had entwined its way around me, shifting the denseness that was all too willing to invade my personal space if I had remained unaware of it's invasion........ Watching the endless waves merge with the sand, lulling me into moments of complete surrender, feeling the immortality of my Soul as I sat and witnessed Life around me. I could at this time be lost within the anguish of a broken heart, be lead down a road of pain and sorrow, instead though, I embrace the horizon that stands before me, virgin terrain that beckons me to follow, tantalizing me with its alluring call of new chapters yet to be written.......... Staring out to sea, feeling the eyes of my ancestors beaming their love, their affection filling my Soul with the purest form of love, unconditional love. Being alone does not scare me, as I know that my quest was assured long ago, my contract sealed with my birth upon this planet, my destiny confirmed with the presence of synchronicity running rampant within my life story at present, all is perfect, all is as it should be........... It is a time of cleansing and of letting go, of possessions and of some the people that have been within my inner and outer circles, their gifts given their presence no longer required, their task complete. I realized as I sat, still and peaceful in the company of God that I don't need anyone except myself, that I have attained a place of ultimate acceptance of myself, one that gives me serenity during these times of great upheaval......... Trust is the lesson that I have transcended, in my ability to see that it was time to move forward, to release the shackles that held me constrained in the challenges of yesterday, the longer I stayed the more I withered, not embracing the calling of my struggling heart. Yet when I did make the movement so embraced by my slumbering Soul my journey transcended the stagnate energy that had held me captive, it soared with a clarity of a mission reclaimed, thus presenting me with an awakening into my Self, a returning to the wholeness of Who I Am.....

Thought For The Day.....

Always choose Life

Thought For The Day.....

Frame every so-called disaster With these words In five years Will this matter

Lunar Moon...........

Today is the first day of the Lunar Moon, Tone (month) 2 in my world, we are asked to focus on;

Polarize -Stabilize- Challenge.

From one comes two, showing us that opposites work together, that life is not either punishing or blessing you, it is simply working with you to assist you in awakening to the Light you are. Everything has an opposite, north and south, black and white, male and female, yin and yang, good and evil, night and day, it is imperative to balance the two within. Tone 2 helps us to see that from the shadows comes the light, from the realization of our ability to transform ourselves from the challenges that we often think hinder our evolution. We must learn to embrace our challenges, to see past the obstacles that appear before us, to focus on the truth within to align our Light with the pulse of the Universe. We only limit our self with the restrictions that we place upon ourselves, we are lost in the illusion of duality, which gives as a false sense of separation from source. We all serve each other, when a person/s gives you a challenge within your life that you may not necessarily welcome with open arms, take the time to sit with it, to still your mind and look inward to see what lesson is this challenge to teach you.

How can you grow?

What requires to be stabilized?

What do you need to transcend?

Tone 2 encourages you to Stabilize challenge by receiving opposition as a catalyst to generate holistic awareness, to embrace the challenge as a stimulus for soul growth..................

Thought For The Day.....

No one is in charge of your happiness But you

Chad In All His Glory.......

Chad in all his glory wearing his ribbons at one of his shows, bless him, he looks less than impressed!

Showing his winning stance,centered and still.

Sneaking a peek at that gorgeous filly over by the floats.......

And waiting patiently for the fun to begin...........

Powerful waves................

Powerful waves pounding the shore, the winter swells high, turbulent waters tempting the local surfers to search for that perfect wave as the storm slowly approaches. Watching as the wind tears around my body, pushing me with forceful intensity, knowing that if I am not careful I may end up smashed against the rocks if I lose my footing.....

Sitting in the fury of the drenching spray that showers me as I observe, feeling the astonishing magnificence of the ocean, sensing the calling of the waves.......... Hypnotized I watch, drawn into the anticipation of the wait, moments ticking, slowly....... Freedom to be at one with the elements, knowing that being present in the silence of my devotion to the Now grants me the wisdom to join in the excitement of the activity around me, the calling gull as it glides overhead, waltzing with the wind in intimate maneuvers, spellbinding and effortless, orchestrated with universal grace. Glory surrounds me everywhere, the rocks pulsating beneath my chilled body, the energy of the Earth Mother rising through my tingling cells, merging with the vibrating essence of my Soul.............

Thought For The Day.....

Be eccentric Now Don't wait for old age to wear purple

Gem's Words of Wisdom....

If all of us sat within the Heart We would see past the illusions that we think are US We would see that we are all Divine All Pure And free to express that which we crave If only we come from the Heart If only we trust to let go....

What Is Life About............

What is life about? For me life is about my personal quest for self illumination, of remembering the divinity of Who I Am. To find my way back to God/the Universe by finding heaven in my heart whilst still here on our humble earth. This I believe is every one's soul purpose, although not all of us follow the calling, or hear the voice that whispers to us, many are just plain lost with the illusion of 'life' with the material gain, dramas and humdrum rhythm that they cage themselves in. Because of my private quest I have decided to end my marriage, but, with where I find myself on my journey I have approached this from an entirely different vantage point than most, thus confusing and shocking all that know me, leaving them shaking their heads in confusion as to why I am walking away from all that I have to simply enhance my connection within my heart. Am I mad? Can't I find what I seek here? Do I know what I am giving up? Do I really know what I am doing? I am asked these questions frequently, and my answer is always the same, my soul is calling, therefore I simply must do what my heart yearns for. By ending a relationship with love we have seen that most of the people we know have no idea how to handle it, we are taught in society that when an ending of a marriage comes so to does the aggression,the affairs, the accusations, the fights, the hate. Why though do we require this sort of behaviour? Why do we need to have such turmoil in our lives? Truth is we don't, not if we remain in the heart. We are all given the people in our lives for a reason, nothing happens to us by chance it is orchestrated down to the finest detail and it is up to us to watch for the signs of when we have completed our interaction and begin the next stage of our souls journey, to stay in a relationship when the soul contract is over will see the destruction of all the love left in the relationship, and will manifest the aggressive and negative behaviour to destroy what was once a coupling of love. As we share our last week together in our home it is a deeply emotional time, one of remembering and of tears, of happiness and grief for a love lost. We have come full circle and this we see, and as painful as it is to let go, we both understand that there is no other way, that we both have new stories to write and new paths to follow. I am honored to have shared a part of my life journey with my husband, and as I prepare to leave I have told him that our chapters will always be held close in my heart, that our relationship will now transcend its self into that of friends as we end our time together without anger, blame or animosity. This confuses our friends and families even more, there is no mud to sling, no bitterness to savour, not one negative aspect to this at all, it is simply time for me to go. I wanted to share this part of my story for a reason, that is to allow others to see that love can always be present, even in the ending of a marriage. We do not have to fight or hate, instead we can be honest with our self, which is confronting of course, but, by being honest with yourself and doing what it is that feels right in your heart you will avoid all the negative behaviour that comes when a relationship ends, therefore avoiding other parties becoming involved, as in reality the only people involved in the ending of a marriage are the two who were joined in the first place. There is no need for sides to be taken, for gossip to spread, there is simply a parting of two souls cloaked in sadness and pain of a love that has given the greatest gift of all, freedom..........................

Thought For The Day.....

It's never too late to have a happy childhood But the second one is up to you and no one else

Manifesting My Way............

Manifesting my way is producing perfect results, even in these challenging times that I find myself in at present. A few months ago I began talking of my desire to enter into Aged Care Support Work, I just felt that I would love to take my healing into that field to assist our older folk in their daily lives, so, me being me did what I always do, planted the seed and got on with life! Then last week as I was chatting with a friend, and we were actually talking about my 'dream' job when my mobile phone began to ring, it was my beautician who was with another client of hers, she asked me if I was free to talk. She began to tell me that her client was a Aged Care Support Worker, and if I phoned her boss right after she hung up I would be guaranteed an interview. So after hanging up I phone her boss, got an interview for last Friday, and had a phone call yesterday to say that I have the job! Start a week after I move, how perfect is that? Synchronicity weaving it's web yet again! Then there is the story of my new home. After having looked at a few rentals in my immediate area I came away feeling less than impressed at what options faced me, distraught and defeated I sat and cried, saying to the Universe that I gave up, I did not know what to do or where to turn next, crying seemed the best option! Enter the ringing mobile phone again! This time it was one of my clients wishing to book an appointment, I knew that he had a couple of rentals, so being a tad cheeky I asked the question................ and yes believe it or not, he had a house that he had just bought and would be vacant by the 28 of this month. It is perfect too, a smaller older house, only three bedrooms, one for me, one for meditation and one for my healing and massage.......PERFECT! But, even better still, a black cat comes with the house, the current owners feed her/him, and they don't know where she/he comes from, so as I was given instructions on what she/he likes I had to laugh, Blossom I thought is in cahoots with the Universe, this was just hilarious! This little stray cat even sleeps on the bed at night! I hope Max won't mind sharing! But, I leave the best until last, I told all my friends that when the time was right I wanted to get two cats, I felt it is better that they have company when I am at work, I most certainly did not expect it all to happen as quickly, but as I say all happens in divine time! Synchronicity is running rampant within my life at present, I am aware of its weaving web of magic, knowing that my thoughts create my world, that all I need do is plant the seed, release and trust that I have what I have asked for, not giving any of it a second thought, I am just simply living in the moment, completely present in every second of my Now even as I am facing such an emotional ending, I am planted firmly in the vibration of love, the trust I have in my Universal God is providing me with all I require, and all is being released with love, in a harmonious and therapeutic way, granting me confirmation that love is ever present everywhere...................

The Peace Prayers.........

Over the last week or so I have shared twelve prayers of peace, these twelve prayers were read together in 1986 in Assisi, Italy on the Day of Prayer for World Peace, during the United Nations International Year of Peace. What have we learned since then as a world in turmoil and pain? Why is it countless people join in hate filled activities of war, revenge and death? These prayers all beseech for the unity of man, to cease the destruction of our beautiful world and of her people, yet still we fight! Race against race, country against country, the past clung onto like a sword that cuts it's way through love as hatred is passed down generation after generation fueling the horror of war for another generation, keeping the barriers up and the negativity bubbling away waiting for another outbreak for violence to occur. History is taught in our schools around the world, yet, they do not teach a history of balance, they preach of war and hostility, of nations that have plundered their fertile lands, of death, destruction and bloodshed. They don't tell our young that each side felt the same loss, the same devastating pain, the same horrors, and in some cases it fails to tell that their solders were too guilty of horrific acts. If we realize as a people that those who want the wars never fight in them, never dirty their hands with the blood of others, only seek the power of their unbalanced minds, craving supremacy over all, even those in their armies. If we as individuals take the first tentative steps of acceptance and peace, and if we as individuals begin to hold our hands out to those of another race, embrace the knowledge of other cultures, and unite with those who hold hate in their hearts, even if it is just through meditation, we can invoke such a powerful force of love and healing that peace will begin to take control, the negative hold of the oppressors will lose it's footing and begin it's downward slide into oblivion, thus paving the way for the healing of our world.........................

Thought For The Day.....

Get rid of anything that isn't Useful, beautiful or joyful

A Song For Peace..................

I had a dream last night All the people in the world were involved It seemed the earth had evolved to the point Where we put an end to war I said a prayer last night It filled my heart with such resolve No longer would I involve my mind With empty thoughts of war Between the night and tomorrow A great thing did occur Between the cries and the sorrow I could almost hear the words: Let's out an end to war It's peace were living for Let's put an end to war I heard a voice last night The voice was soft but oh so strong It whispered, "How long, how long Will you put your faith in war?" I had a dream last night Not a country or place remained With bombs or guns or fighter planes Cause we'd put an end to war And in the dark forbidding sky A great sign did appear The sound of joy and laughter did fill the air Cause we'd put and end to war It's love were living for Let's put an end to war.

Take a deep breath It calms the mind

Christian Prayer for Peace

Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be known as the children of God. But I say to you that hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To those who strike you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from those who take your cloak, do not withhold your coat as well. Give to everyone who begs from you, and of those who take away your goods, do not ask them again. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.

Remember Max..................

Remember Max? I met him shortly after Blossom passed over, which is just over a month ago now. I went to support his mother, give her a pamper evening last night as she is going through an extremely tough time, so with massage couch and a bag full of groceries I arrived to make sure that a night of nurture and healing would take place, my plan, give my friend a massage, then, while she was relaxing afterwards I would cook her dinner and we would spend an evening catching up on each others news.......... When I arrived Max came running to the front door full of enthusiasm and curiosity at all the new smells coming through his door, having got in and settled his mum had something to tell me, something that by the energy around her was very upsetting. All of a sudden the words began to pour out, she wanted me to have Max. She has returned to working night shift and feels that she is neglecting him, and also knows that with my own move to a new home in a few weeks I would be alone and that his presence would assist me in adjusting to single life again. I would treasure his company, I would pamper him, let him sleep on the bed (he is not allowed at the moment,) in fact I would just spoil him rotten, please she begged, take him, you have a strong connection with him. Well, I could not believe my ears, and I don't think Max could either, he sat there watching the conversation looking from one to another, tears where flowing, it was all so emotional. After much consideration and discussing I said, yes, I will take him, even though the rental house I am moving to has a stray cat there already, (that is another story itself!) So all of a sudden I have two feline mouths to feed, I did know that Blossom would direct the arrival of my next cat companion when the time was right, I didn't expect it to be so soon. With that settled I went to set up for my massage, Max followed, which is a good idea as he will seeing a lot of massage and meditation in our new home. As I began the massage he went and sat on a chair and watched everything I was doing, being a baby still (he is nearly two,) I told him not to jump on the bed, he had to stay where he was, he did that for about twenty minutes, then he went under the couch and started playing with my feet, which made me laugh, until he bit one of my toes, then he spied the face hole on the massage couch and decided to try and get at his mums head with his paws, well we rolled with laughter, this proved to be a very happy session indeed. I think I have a lot of laughter coming my way! I use the power of my words to create my life, I asked for a new cat to be sent once the time was right, I didn't expect that I would have this given so quickly, although given my personal shift I am not that surprised I guess. I feel Blossom with me everyday, her gentle vibration surrounds me, glimpses of her caught and her warmth felt. What a lovely way to begin my new chapter, with an unexpected gift of a such a bubbly and loving cuddly cat....................

Sikh Prayer for Peace

God adjudges us according to our deeds, not the coat that we wear: that Truth is above everything, but higher still is truthful living. Know that we attaineth God when we loveth, and only that victory endures in consequences of which no one is defeated.

Everything can change in the blink of an eye Don't worry God never does

Baha'i Prayer for Peace

Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be a lamp unto those who walk in darkness, and a home to the stranger. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be a breath of life to the body of humankind, a dew to the soil of the human heart, and a fruit upon the tree of humility.

When Your Heart...............

When your Heart is opened to God There is no turning back All you seek has been gifted to you at the right moment At the perfect time

Yesterday saw a shift in my journey in such a monumental way that I am still, hours later, sitting within the confines of my illuminated heart. Nothing I have ever felt has raised my vibration so, meditations one on one with a Buddhist Monk doesn't even come close to this, gurus, who believed in their own imagine power rather than the unconditional love they thought that they were sharing have nothing on what I feel at this moment. I know that there is no turning back, I have reached a turning point in my Life, one, that is too massive to describe, words fail to explain the depths of my awakening, nothing is sacred enough to describe the feelings of intense and unconditional love, the pulsating waves of euphoria that cascade through my body as I sit in silent communion with my Creator My only quest as I remain here on this planet for this life, is to go deeper into the glory that I feel at this present moment, to expand the bliss, to assist in healing the world and others by sharing this glorious energy, allowing it to reach even the darkest hearts. My life will never be the same, the purity and honesty I feel within can not be explained, there are no words pure enough to describe the joyous bonding with the Divine that I experience, all that I know is that my path has been found, my journey complete, I Am Home................

Thought For The Day.....

Don't compare your life to others You have no idea what their journey is about
