10-18-18 What if

What if your Guides and Angels are speaking to you all the time and you are not listening to them. How many times have you heard the answers or a thought that inspires an idea and you dismiss it? Or you have said to yourself I knew that, or I was just thinking about that and someone said that very same words to you. How many times do you want the answers without listening to what is being given to you?

There is a world that is unseen around you and you dismiss it all the time. You are given an idea or thought, redirected away from something or someone who is not in your best interest, yet you don’t listen. What about the ah moments when you realize something that you did not see before, even when it was right in front of you.

How many times have you walked or drove somewhere and never realized you saw something for the very first time and you have done it over 100 times or even years. What about the animals or bugs that cross your path over the course of the day. Are they just an annoyance because they exist or are they a message from your Guides or Angels. Did you ever encounter the same thing repeatedly, in the course of a short period time or a few days? Sometimes we send you these messages and it goes unnoticed multiple times.

What about the numbers on the clock at 11:11, or any sequence of numbers, there are signs all around you, yet you dismiss them. What about license plates numbers? Songs, what about hearing your favorite songs in the oddest of places. Do you really believe that we don’t know what you are doing or where you are at?

We’re not judging, only human’s do that. Did you ever wonder who hid your keys or make you forget something, so you had to turn around and go back into your house to only remember something else? Why you may be stuck in traffic to later find out that you would have been driving in the same area at the time of an accident occurred. Or you were detoured by a road closure for another reason or directed to somewhere else that you need to go or be.

You wanted or need something, and you get a thought or feeling to go someplace like the mall or store to find it for a price that you were looking to spend. You needed money or hoping for and it appears in a check or from a close friend, or even some random stranger. We are always around and waiting to assist but if you’re not paying attention there is only so much that we can do for you. We know that it is upsetting when the answers don’t come, but like you, we can see much more and like to know that we are helping because that is our job. So next time when you realize that assistants is always around – say hello or thank you, need help, ask us. We like to know that we are being listening too, just as you want to know that you are being listen too.

10-18-18 So, What !!!

Why do you play in the memories of what has happened to you? Yes, that relationship did not work out to what we expected. Did you learn any lessons from it? What about what your parents did not do or did do. So, what! That job, those friends that loved you or not. So, what! How big was the loss? Did really, fuck up things happen to you along the way. They are not now or in the present moment. You can stay hooked in the past or move beyond them.

Maybe you don’t understand why they happen to you, people have free will and choice. They can make a decision based on what they know, or they seek to change. The hardest part of life is thinking we can change other people to be who we want them to be and that is a slippery slope because until people or a person realizes it is them and their projections out in the world. We are going to have the same type of people step forward to show up. That it is a lie that you have been telling yourself!

You don’t want to be judged by other people, stop judging them and yourself. Don’t want drama in your life stopped creating it or playing with it, with other people. Can you really say that you have never done anything wrong to anyone? Don’t have clear boundaries then start creating them. If people leave, so what! Are you not happier when they are not around? Find the people who love and support you. You’re not obligated to anyone, even your friends and family. True friends and family love and support you, not some image of who they think you should be.

Is it scary to think that these people who you trust, and love could possibly not love you for the real you?  How about you love yourself first and stop worrying about what they think of you. See when you change people leave or they stay. Get rid of the people who don’t respect or love you, they most likely don’t love themselves enough to see that you want to be a different person. Maybe it is for the best or maybe it is not. Only you can define what is worth keeping or not. We are coming to the point in the year when we must travel to see friends or family for holidays. If you are not willing to cut the ties just yet, then define the boundaries of what you are willing to put up with – tell those people So what or to just stuff it.

People have a way of seeing our life as something they need to direct for us. Apparently, they don’t think we are not enough, knowledgeable or capable of creating a life for ourselves. It is like having rubberneckers – every time we are trying to change ourselves. Everyone must have their look into our life or their say.  If they did their job right there would not be any questions or speech. We will either succeed or fail, either way, you learned a lesson about yourself along the way.

 So, the next time someone wants to define who you should be, say “So What”. Like they know you better then you know yourself and if you don’t know yourself, then maybe it is about time to figure out who you are without all of the clutter of everyone’s opinion.

10-31-18 Staying within the Colored lines

How many times have we heard this expression “color inside of the lines” in our life? Here is another one” stand in line and wait your turn” or some other form of following others because we are not doing it right. Standing in a line does teach certain lessons, yet was it meant to be taken in a literal sense?  Lines, rules or even laws that applied to the select few. 

We have all heard at least one person tell us that it is not the way we do things. We are introduced to it from an early age. But, what if the lines were meant for us to color outside of them. Technology would never exist because we are all trying to do the same things as everyone else. So why do we keep trying to do the same thing and expecting a different result?

We do it because that is what we have been told to do, to be accepted by our family, friends, and society. You know a great artist or writer see the picture or the concept were others don’t. Business people see opportunity where others don’t see anything. It’s always a risk to do something different. We are not taught to challenge ourselves, of course, unless you begin to question your own potential for greatness. You are the only form of potential. There are a million of examples that I could give you, but what are your colored lines telling you that you keep staying within those lines.

Have you ever realized that you have more to offer then you realize! You are enough and will always be enough in the face of opportunity. Great people face the impossible because they believe that the risk is greater than the lines that they may cross. Each day you have the choice to be the person you want to be or to follow within those colored lines.

Instead, of listening to your mind of all the people who may tell you can’t or that it is impossible or any other self-doubting belief or behavior that may stop you. Begin to really hear your voice and if it’s not yours, it is most likely someone who did not want to be seen, as different. And they like being there because it’s comfortable, safe, and think everyone will always like them.

Truth be told, not everyone is going to like you. So, stop playing it safe and draw outside of the lines, even off the paper if you need too. You are the artist of your own life not what others have told you to be. Be colorful, be bright and draw that life that you want for yourself.

10-10-18 The Unknown Love

          

Imagine never knowing who you are? The depth of your soul is vast with knowledge and wisdom of the centuries. You are like a tree, deep and rich within that has watched time go by. How many seasons and storms that you must have weathered. What you know does not come from just this lifetime, it crosses decades and is far beyond your comprehension. You are a storehouse of knowledge and data that weighs on your soul. That deeper bond is a reminder of who you are. 

It is like two souls (friends) who you have not seen each other in a long time to remember that only time has passed that connection is still there, that you never lost. Only but a few times met a person who you have a relationship that is beyond words. They know it and you know it. From the time that your eyes connected, it’s beyond time and space. Yet, because of fear of not understanding, you avoid exploring the depth of that connection.

You know that with every part of your being it goes deeper than anything that you could have ever explored. What do you do with those feelings and emotions that have no rhyme or reasoning? There is no space or time to explain why you feel the way you do. As I write this a tear flows from my eye. Some may say this is part of your soul group, but you know it’s much more than that, this is a person that you can’t explain, even to yourself. A Love that goes beyond everything that you have ever known. Words have no expression for the love that you feel.

Not in your wildest dreams could you have imagined the way your hearts know all the mystery that laid within. Centuries of waiting for this person to realize that your love for each other goes beyond time and space. You wonder if this is something that you may be making up or is this real. Your heart knows, and the sadness knows the depth of the emotions.

Calling love into your Being! We dream and wish for this type of love, one that stands the test of time. That person who calls from your very soul of who you are. All that you and who you will become. Your heart knows. The pain of feeling your heart is yours to feel, lost in a union that you cannot explain. It scares you, as much as you want it to be true. This person sees the truth of who you really are and not the experiences that you have had.

The hurt, the love and the lost. It’s all known. They know and feel it all. You can even imagine the depth of this encounter. Absolute pure Love. You yearn for it, more than anything else. People have written and sung songs about this type of love -but few have ever experienced it in a way that made them whole and complete on that level.  A love that dreams are made of. Yet, we question the reality of that dream. A Love like this, can it be true!

10-12-18 Speak your Truth

One of the first memories, that I have of knowing something was of a baby being left in a church parking lot. I remember being too small to cross the street by myself and the image of where and when has not left me to this day. When I was old enough to look for myself, I went looking for the very place that I thought that I had seen the baby left. In fact, I have checked several times over the years. Questioning whether it really happened or not. I have done searches on the internet and tried to access newspapers from over 40 years to verify the images that I saw so many years ago.

We tend to forget things that we saw or what happens to us as a child because our world within our family does not reflect these images or when we could speak out about them they are dismissed as our imagination. The very people who are supposed to guide us have no idea how to handle the situation. So, we learn to close down parts of ourselves to keep other people happy or not hurting them.

At some point, the lines burr and what we think is our reality is a fine line as to what is the truth. Now, these images, as well as many more would fill a file cabinet within my mind. Not knowing where to turn I just file them away to sit in a box of sorts to one day remember them. I have since learned that they are the five senses and the sixth sense; sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and extrasensory perception.

Many people are walking around with these abilities and have no idea what to do with them. I know that I didn’t. I thought I was going crazy and had I continue to speak of them they would have said, that I was out of my mind. Even in this time period, it is denied that it exists because people fear what they can’t understand. It has taking me years to own it and parts of myself that were lost in the void of what is accepted as normal. I have learned that not everyone has memories of the invisible world around us.

And maybe I am the fortunate one because I really never lost the abilities. I may not have understood it and figure it was a taboo to talk about because surely that is what I learned. I had to educate myself and attempt to verify the information as it presented its self. More times then I like I have thought this is insane and why am I the only one seeing, hearing or sensing these things. Have I lost my mind?

It was not until people started verifying the images or the thoughts that I would perceive by indicating so. One thing that I have learned is that you cannot go around telling just anyone because of their reaction, that it’s not part of their belief system. And it causes you more harm than good. People want the truth but only if sits within their beliefs. I for one know from experience. I have lost friends, family, and jobs because I could see truth where others did not want too.

Why do I write about it, because I keep hearing “tell the story”? And have asked, where do I begin. So somewhere or someone can relate. When this happens to you, you will definitely think that you have gone off the deep. I have seen some very gifted people fall victim to what is wrong with me and why don’t people believe me or even listen to be labeled as having a mental health issue when it part of your soul journey.

Unfortunately, our mental health is not set up to deal with the spiritual evolution of humans. They would much rather medicate us to be able to deal with what is, “not the unknown” or what is true. It was not set up that way, even with great works of people who question the possibilities of evolution of the soul. I am not sure where I am going with this or why.

What I do know is that we as humans have a responsibility to ourselves to question the truth and not be so close off that we buy into all the nonsense that has been spoon fed for years. I do know that I experience things every day and have tried to hide from it, not that you can hide from yourself. When it gets too much to only keep pushing forward that someone will listen, even if it’s only me for now.
