Holiday Blessings

-
Hello Dear Fellow Travelers,
As I turn within and honor the sacredness of the Holy Days, I offer you a blessings of love, peace and joy. 
I count my blessings as part of my advent, solstice, holy days ritual. Please take a moment and join me.
Counting your blessings is homework to ensure a lighter holiday season! 
Counting my blessings is a rebelious act at this time of year. It goes against the need to buy, the urge to obtain. It puts a whole other spin on the sleepy, dull agressive and noisy, shadow of negativity and fear. I am rebelling and counting my blessings. I count my blessings in hopes that it inspires you to count yours, to share our wealth of blessings and to grow the spirit of gratitude so that it takes form as actions that are helpful in a world that is in need of your light, your help, your prayers, your wishes, your action and your blessings!
My blessings...I am so grateful for the opportunity to share messages of inspiration and to connect with all of you throughout the year. I am grateful for technology that allows me to continue to connect with you via messages, even when I am taking some time off. I am grateful for the freedoms that I enjoy as a woman, mother, business owner, healer, spiritual teacher, global citizen and US citizen. I am grateful for the freedoms I enjoy being a woman who was born into a middle class family. I am grateful for an education. I am grateful for my feisty and activist spirit that has me using my blessings to assist others.  I am grateful for creature comforts that I rarely think about, except for when it is -12 degrees. I am grateful beyond measure to have a warm bed, a beautiful home, work I love and family and friends who I cherish. I am grateful to be my age in years. I am grateful for health and well-being, and the courage, ways and means to continue to live in health and well-being. I am grateful for my desire to continue to learn, to hold space for those who also want to learn, heal and grow. I am grateful for the hardships too. Yes, I am grateful for the many, many hardships because they are all part of my life. The hardships give me focus and perspective. The hardships help me to help others. The hardships are what made my heart break wide open with no way to put it back together, unless I devoted my life to love, peace and joy and healing my broken heart and the broken hearts of the world. Love heals all wounds. Peace and Joy fuel Love. And the blessings continue...there are more, many, many more...
This is about you now...
Now it is your turn.
Count your blessings. Give yourself time to enter into the Sacredness of this Season and rebel a little. Your inner light needs your attention. Your inner light needs to be honored. 
One more...I am grateful for YOU, your light, and for all that we have done together and the wonderful opportunities that lay ahead. 
Love,
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 ...
