Heart of Gaia

 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,  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...
