Hello Fellow Travelers, 
Summer is my all-time favorite season. I decided if I had to choose a favorite, this is it. I do enjoy all the seasons, for different reasons, but here in the northern hemisphere, we are in full summer bloom.
Summer just seems so alive, ripe and rich with gifts. My garden is starting to bear veggies and my flowers are blooming. The sunflowers greet me each morning and I am blessed to have their bright yellow smiles adorning my home and Heart of Gaia. I am surrounded by the abundance of wild life doing its thing!
Amidst all of this action, there are sacred messages, healings, insights and blessings galore.
Summer is my all-time favorite, particularly this year and for a simple reason. Amidst the rather intense, loud, glaring crisis and turmoil that feels as if it is relentless, there is reprieve.
Amidst the fall-out from the pain provoking, stunningly mortifying choices that some of our fellow human beings are making at this time, and our own personal reactions and experiences of fear, pain or trauma there is the momentary reprieve of the warm sun.
Summer is my favorite season, right now because in my world, nothing soothes a weary, bone tired, grief laden world like the innocent beauty of nature.
Nothing feeds a starving soul as simply and fully as the connection that is possible in the moments one sits amidst a garden, under a tree or just gazes out a window and happens to see the colors swirling in the sky reflecting the setting sun.
These opportunities are abundant at this time, and desperately needed.
The human experience is full of heartache, sorrow and loss, yet it is also full of beauty, joy and love. Both exist within us and both are loud right now, vying for our attention. Do not hesitate to go into the dark places, for they too are full of life, for the dark places hold secrets and messages just as the light places, yet when you emerge, remember to fill your soul up with the simple beauty of nature.
This week, may you find solace in the momentary beauty of the natural world.
Have a bountiful, blessed week.
Mary

Full Moon in Sagittarius! The Big Ask

-

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Time to gather round the fires of late spring and chat up what your plans are for this coming summer. And beyond. The full moon in Sagittarius occurs this coming Saturday brings so very much positivity and optimism to everything and everyone. This week leading up to the full moon may be either incredibly inspirational or incredibly annoying. That depends on how well you meet your inner optimist. You would fare well by listening to that optimist and taking action. If you take action on one small goal this week it will benefit you tenfold. If you hesitate or talk yourself out of it, or in anyway buy into your inner critic, that too will multiply tenfold. Whatever you focus on grows. You have heard that adage, well it is especially true this week. Use it to your advantage. Check your inner critic. Take a risk, take a leap. The smallest risk, as long as it has to do with your own inner faith and trust in Self, will bring an abundance of reward. Be very clear t...

Boundaries, Bamboo and Birth

Hello Fellow Travelers,  We have entered into a cycle of retrograde and this is always a good time to recharge and re-group. Giving ourselves time to replenish creates better flow, healing, clarity and awareness. We all know this, yet sometimes we forget.  The energy leading up to the Mercury Retrograde in the cosmos asks us to better understand the archetype of Mercury. Who is this god and why does he get so much air time lately? How can we use this energy to benefit our lives? In retrograde, Mercury is standing still for a short spell, it is our cue to think before we speak, step back, or stand firm like bamboo. Think twice and then three times before acting or choosing. Be discerning. Mercury loves to pick things apart and put them back together again. Rumination? Perhaps, but necessary rumination. Rumination that leads you to a deeper understanding of what is important to you now. What was important last year may not be important to you now, or ever again.  W...

Life is Messy I and II

Last week's message was about the messiness of life, the ups, downs, ins and outs. The minute you think you got it figured out, life will indeed give you something else. There is a lot going on out in the world and we are inundated with it on a moment to moment basis. It seems messier this week than last. What to do? I suggest you delve in and see where it takes you. First of all, what is messy to you?  You all have your own definition and I would encourage you to find yours and work with it. Messy to me is the opposite of harmony and peace. It is feelings as well as experiences of unrest, unease, discord, disharmony, etc. It's when I or someone I love or care about is hurt, upset or in trouble. Messy is witnessing or being on the receiving end of cruelty in words or deeds. I have experienced my share of messy situations, as has everyone alive today. I have been cleaning up messes since childhood. Not only cleaning up messes, but then striving to keep order of ...
