Heart of Gaia

  Hello Fellow Travelers, Welcome in the energy of this Full Moon. Connecting Heart and Mind. Accessing your divine channel, your inspiration and your Light. The Ace of Birds (from the Shining Tribe Tarot) speaks of the messages of this moon. "Truth, wisdom, sadness, honesty." Feelings that come when we are in touch with the deepest calling of our human destiny. Real feelings of longing for connection, real honest connection. The sadness that can accompany the realization of truths that need our attention. A call for deeper connections requires the release of relationships based in old paradigms of dogmatic belief systems, and outdated modes of operating. New systems, steeped in the wisdom earned as we traversed these outdates modes, are coming into view. Honesty within, room to change, a truthful look at what fuels us and a deep inhale. The exhaling is a sigh, of relief and release. "Looking into the mysteries of life and death." We have been faced with this, have ...

 Hello Fellow Travelers,  Equinox Blessings to you! How does it feel for you to be in the midst of the change of seasons? As I sit here pondering what wisdom wants to come through me, I am reminded of the springtimes that have come before this one. I am taken back in time- or on the turn of the spiral of time to the March's I have witnessed before.  Nostalgia? Maybe. Most likely though, I am getting the nudge to retrieve pieces of my soul that have scattered in another time and place.  Memories call to me. Feelings and remembrances of who I was in times gone by run through my system.  It is a time of calling back our soul. Where might you have left pieces of yourself that are now ready to come home? You've grown, changed, healed and learned. You've witnessed, observed, participated in, and been a part of many moments, days and years of Life.  What memory calls to you? Do you remember Easter's past? Do you recall the smells of the wet, muddy earth and cool c...

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...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Today marks two anniversaries of great importance. The anniversaries mark new life and death. Both. Together. Today.  Today the anniversary of Birth and Death. Love and life. Both/And. What do I do with such waves of emotion and the accompanying heart expansion? Write about it, share the experience and make way for the birth of potent love messages that come through such extreme heart-full experiences. New life through words, heart expanding and Life nourishing.  Ten years ago on this day, I became a grandmother for the very first time. Grand-Mother. My first child, my daughter, gave birth to her first child. What a cause for celebration. A new life, hope, and so very much love. Lots of firsts of the most positive kind.  Yes, I will be present and celebrate and welcome in my first grandchild. Yes I will spend the most amazing two weeks with my daughter as she prepares to become a Mother. This was occurring right in the heart of Washington DC n...

Hello Fellow Travelers,  Peace!  I offer you the powerful and potent energy of peace right now. No matter who you are, what you are doing, what is going on, I offer you the solace and comfort of peace. Just for this moment .  I am finding, as I am sure you are too, that peace is a precious commodity. It is something that is fleeting and also so very necessary for our survival. Peace is a state of mind, heart, body and soul. And it is under attack, again.  So, once again, I offer you the solace and comfort of peace. In this moment. Can you conjure Peace? Can you muster it's essence? I know you can! Next time you are feeling everything but peace, remember this. You may choose Peace. If just for one moment.  Where in your life right now are you in conflict? Offer this conflict Peace. Where in your own life are you struggling? Offer this struggle Peace. Where in your own life are you angry, hating, dissilutioned or fearful? Offer the anger, hate, ...

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 ...

Hello Fellow Travelers, What is true love? My journalism background (way back) has me asking the big six about true love~ who, what, when, where, why and how. What is true love? Where is it? Who brings it to you? Why do you want, need or long for true love? When do you experience true love? How do you know true love? All my life, I have been led by the pursuit of love. My very makeup or soul blueprint, has led me on a path of discovery for the experience of true love. Just as so many of us,  I thought I knew what it was and how I could get it. I just knew that I knew the answer (smarty pants).  Find a mate, get married, have a family. Voila, true love! OR how about, have a career you love, an education, friends, family all around. Voila, true love! Sure, these experiences include love, yet I am talking about real, true love! What I have learned  is that the journey of life is never what we "think". Thinking is usually what gets us into trouble. I truly d...

Hello Beautiful Fellow Travelers! Solstice Blessings to you. This is an exciting time for all of us who are on our path of soul power and awakening! I heard recently that "being on a path is an attitude or consciousness".  I see it as a determined and focused consciousness that is a living expression of your spirit. How do you live your spirit's expression? What is your favorite way to express your spirit? One of my favorite ways is to create art. I love to draw or paint and while I do not claim to be a great artist by any means, my soul just loves to create art with paint and bright vivid colors. Usually the subject of my paintings are flowers or dragonflies or butterflies. Mostly flowers, the beauty and healing energy I find in flowers truly inspires me. For many years though, I hesitated and held back my love of painting. I also held back and hesitated with my writing, my healing work and other means that my spirit longed to express. The most common exc...

Hello Fellow Travelers, What is your philosophy about life?  What are the beliefs and ideas that guide your every thought, deed and action? What do you use as your inner compass as you traverse your days? Our Journaling to the Heart participants have been delving into this subject over the last several weeks. We have been connecting with and writing about our personal philosophy regarding health, well being and spirituality. I invite you to do so also. This is a good way to end out the season of springtime and enter into the summer months. Open, new, refreshed~connected! I am sure things have changed for you over the course of the last year, months, weeks and days. Subtle and not so subtle changes are occurring everywhere and for everyone. Are you in the same job or career? Do you have the same friends or partner,  attend the same gatherings, watch the same shows, go to the same places? Have you noticed the subtle and not so subtle changes that ha...

Hello Fellow Travelers, Welcome in the energy of May! Happy May Day, Beltane, Snow Day! Yes, it is snowing once more here in my home state and giving us much needed moisture. This brings me to my message for this week. Be careful what you ask for, you will get it! Most of you have heard this phrase before, yet the power behind it is currently impeccable. We might want to give it a different spin for the sake of the message for today, Lets say, Ask and it is given.  Back in March after a particularly dry winter, a wild fire broke out nearby. Smoke filled the air and I was reminded of the terror, devastation and fear of last summer. The fires of last summer destroyed homes and took lives. I did not want a repeat.The fire was contained and I began asking very clearly and with great determination for rain! It has snowed every week since. BIG SNOW.  Now, I do not take credit for the snow falling, but I can revel in the experience of receiving...
