Walking these Old Roads.....


It’s another day of frigid temperatures and changing energy. Right now we are all wondering where and when this will end….it’s unseasonably cold but at least it is dry. So there is a silver lining here in some ways.

With most things, when we look for the positive side and expect something good to come our way, we can find it. Perhaps it will be found in how we look at it or the way each issue is presented. But there is usually something wonderful to be found with each and every situation we are presented with.

I have learned long ago that everything happens for a reason – even when that reason is filled with dark or heavy energy – our bodies can often make something good come from it. This is sometimes part of the struggle in our daily lives. 

However, we humans have that ability within us. A sort of magical capability for inner and outer transformation within our own lives. We can make something good come of 'this' or in many instances, it lies forgotten at the bottom of a long list of worries and fears.

This tendency to cover up who we are – the things we are able to do and when we should do them has come at such a price. It has cost us our humanity at the expense of our own souls, we have left behind an energetic imprint of our own sacred art.

Perhaps this is the time, now is the place and certainly the space is being created to allow these ancient blueprints to rise up and take their place in our lives. We are such creative, alive and amazing beings who walk these old roads on this planet.

And we don’t even know it.

Getting Ready to Party with the Fairies!

Today is day 14 and I am nearly there - just a couple more days to go and I will have reached my goal for this month. Right now I have a sore throat, my voice is nearly gone and I am feeling quite achy -- it might be the cold that the kids had (I'm still in denial however).....

So, today is a new day and I do love Mondays - it's nice to feel like you have a fresh start each and every week. This week is the one we have been waiting for all year - our Solstice celebration is the biggest event at our house - and we are preparing for it moment by moment.

It's not difficult to become a little child like during this time of the year - everything is so exciting. Even the energy in the air is charged with greater good, love and kindness - from the Universe or the Earth herself? 

Or perhaps from some distant star further afield where they might also celebrate something special at the same time of year. I often wonder if all the other dimensions and earth elementals also celebrate in the same or similar ways as us.

The sun's Solstice will occur in exactly the same way for them, and of course it is marked in some special way. Today this was our topic of discussion - as we make our decorations and festive art - Do the fairies, gnomes and earth energies have a tree and decorate?

We like to think so...perhaps their party will be far more elaborate then ours with preparations, carried out in sacred space. We have lost the reverence of this season and disconnected from it's real meaning of the return of the light so vital to all of nature (and us).

What we have forgotten is perhaps our roles in the bigger picture, become lost in the shuffle to and from the shops buying things we don't want or need. Instead it might be far more important for our spirits to spend some time with our loved ones walking and connecting to nature or bringing it inside....

After all, we have a party to attend!

An Older Form of Earth Magic

Well, it's only a few short weeks until Solstice - my most favourite time of the year, and the day the light comes back to us all here on earth. I always think back to some of my celebrations over the years - I have spent Winter Solstice in many places (Canada, Labrador, Iceland, Holland, Paris, Ireland to name a few) but none has been better then right here...

For some reason, perhaps it's because I have changed as well as the different earth energy these days - each year gets better, we are far more in touch and in tune with ourselves. Therefore we are noticing our deeper connection with the earth and all her seasons and cycles. 

An older form of earth magic...not remembered in living memory - only accessible in the further reaches of our beings.

Right now there are a lot of people around the world waiting for something - a shift, an awakening perhaps, but some sort of difference to be made in their lives with the approaching 12/21/12 date. I hope that they realize change is not something you wait for, it's something you do.

If change is what you are needing, it all starts with you. I remember realizing this so profoundly many years ago - and knowing that I was the one who must do the work, put in the energy and effort and start with myself before I could hope to make a difference in anyone else's lives.

Of course the more you walk this path and the further in you go into your own tissues, organs and cells - the more you realize that your own journey is all that matters. Once your life becomes the path and all you do (to walk it) is the journey you are on, a shift can take place.

Once this integration of mind, body and soul begins to happen your life can and will change. Your dreams will become your reality and your inner connection with this place we call home will deepen with total understanding of who you are and why you are here. 

All you have to do to get there is stay the course, keep moving forward and keep learning as you go...because you are the change, you are what you've been waiting for and you are a specially designed being walking in tune with the earth's rising vibration. 

That shouldn't be too difficult? LOL
