Solstice is Coming

-
Hello Fellow Travelers,

Summer is coming. Summer brings sunshine, flowers, warmth, connection, outdoor activities, and did I say flowers?
Summer brings a succession of days where there is less structure and more wild abandon.

Summer brings the opportunity to grow a garden, and be a witness to nature's bounty.

Summer brings out the grower and nurturer in me. 
I am a free flow gardener, a sun worshiper and a summer lover.

Summer Solstice is the day when we formally enter into the season. I will be holding a Solstice Gathering on Saturday June 17. It will be a small and intimate gathering, the first one of the year. Sign up here or contact me directly. 

I invite you to join in if you are so called.
Or you may use some of these questions to prepare your heart for the coming season. It is a very good time to take some time for yourself, to connect with your heart, and your creative self.

What would you like to grow this season? What would you like to grow in the various areas of your life?
Would you like to grow peace? Compassion? Self love and acceptance? Kindness to your neighbor? A giving spirit? A trusting heart?

What would you use to nourish the tender seeds of peace? Would you use kind words? Would you use patience?

What might be the perfect spot to plant more Spirit in your life? Morning meditation? Evening gratitude?

There are millions and millions of ways to nurture your desires. What types of nurture are you desiring right now?
What might grow your garden into the flourishing and nourishing life experience you desire?

Spring is almost over and it is time to get down to it. What would you like to see blooming in your life within the next few months? 
Take the time NOW to ready your heart for an expanded version of your life. Make love real. Take action. Take a risk to plant that which you have longed for, or that which you so desire to give! 
Giving what it is you want more of, is a great fertilizer, and growth enhancer. More love? Give love. More acceptance. Give acceptance (to self and others). More kindness? Give kindness. Hint: if you have it to give, do so, and feel the swell of love overflow from the garden of your heart! Life is better when it is shared.

Summer invites you deeper into the well of your heart and soul. Summer calls to you. Plant seeds of kindness. Plant seeds of compassion. Clear out and ready the spaces and invite in another. Invite in someone who needs your love and kindness. Invite in someone who is suffering or who could use your unconditional love and acceptance.

You will benefit and so will they. The garden of your heart will flourish. The opportunity to be a better human awaits you.
You are a lover, a grower, a nurturer. Share your blessings.

Have a good week preparing for your summer bounty.

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 ...
