August Energy - A fierce Call

August 2019

week 1

"She was fierce in the presence of death, heroic even, as she was at no other time. Its threat gave her direction, clarity, audacity."--Toni Morrison
Dearest Fellow Travelers,
I have had death face me, and I have faced it back. I do not wish anyone have to face death as I have, yet some of you have, some will, and now, we all have faced it one again, as a collective. More than once. Violent and quick.
Do not look away. Let it make you fierce and heroic. Let death give you clarity, and make you audacious and give you direction.
Death has made me fierce. It has given me a sense of urgency. Death has also helped me be clear. This matters. This does not. This is true. This is not. This is how I wish to spend my time. This is not. Clarity. What is becoming clear to you?

Death also breaks our hearts. Many of us have broken hearts right now. How can we not? Life gives us much that will break our hearts. Life also gives us much to mend our hearts with. Sometimes it is the same thing.
As our hearts break at the hatred that is being acted out on our planet today, let them break. They will then be wider, more expansive hearts.
We may then use our hands and our hearts, our voices and our minds to create lives in which our hearts can expand in the brokenness of our world. In this expansion, we dismantle and break apart the fear and hatred that threaten our safety and lives. And perhaps give meaning to our lives, and meaning to those lives who we have lost.

It is within our broken hearts that our lives are re-built. Our broken open hearts contain all that we need to rebuild. This is the fierceness one meets when facing death.
Be the heroes of your life. Be audacious. Be clear and receive the direction that is being given to you by your broken open heart. Listen. The language of your heart will guide you.
In loving gratitude to all of you. You are my heroes.

Love,
Mary
(Thank you to Toni Morrison for so very much. May she rest in power)

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 ...
