Blizzards

There's nothing that tests friendships like weather. It will show you, who is worried about you. These are times when you are either pulled apart or drawn closer together. Where I live it is very cold in the winters. We do get blizzards and snow storms. I'm glad we don't get them often. I don't know if I'd like to get them that often. I'm good with what we do get. It is always refreshing to see my state through the eyes of someone that comes from a warmer state.

They will either embrace this state or swear off coming here at anytime other than summer. Minnesota, has a lot of personality. It isn't a boring state, we have our Tornadoes, Severe Storm Warnings in the summer and in the winter we have severe winter storms and blizzards. This state has a lot of flavor. The blizzards are guaranteed to give you a snow day and make you slow down a bit.

If your inside, watching a blizzard can be quite exciting as you watch all the snow dance by and hear the timbers of your home crack. If your in the blizzard it will be a nail biting experience that will test what your made of. White out conditions, can make you wonder when the nightmare will end. All in all, it's natures reminder to slow down and remember what's important to you.

Energy Shifts

These new energy shifts have been pretty intense. They have at times almost kicked my butt. One was so intense that I thought I was going to black out. This last one has made me light headed, similar to being near a vortex.

On other occasions it has felt as if the room is tilting. It will be very interesting to see if we will keep our physical bodies? Or will we forced to change them to something else to make them light enough for the new energy that is coming.

I am loving this journey, but there are moments that I'm not so thrilled. The light headedness isn't one of my favorite moments and so begins the next chapter in our journey.

2012

As we reach closer to the destined 2012. It feels like we are a month ahead of schedule so far in 2010. The feeling I'm currently getting is that we will reach 2012 at the end of 2011 (12/31/11) instead of waiting for the fated 12/12/12. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in a movie and waiting to see how everything turns out.

Very exciting, but wondering if it might have been a better idea to watch the show instead of sometime participating in it. Right now I feel that those of us that were kicked out of corporate America while it does it's spiraling act are very protected and loved. We don't have to participate in the drama of it all.

Even if we have our moments when things are weird it all is working out for the best. I sometimes feel like I'm reading a delicious novel instead of actually participating in this sophisticated play we call life. I can't wait for the ending, but at the same time I don't want it to come to it's end quite yet. I'm loving the journey and it's incredible nuiances of themes. It will be very interesting to see which ending we will get?

Goddess Moments

I have many moments that I am so connected to source that I start to see the things that I've made on a list start to come forward. I never tire of the beauty that always comes when you get into your source vibration and just allow things, people or gifts to come into your life.

It is a beautiful dance that has so many nuances that tickle your senses to test that your still alive and totally connected. It's like drinking in life with all of your senses and still wanting more to see how very high your capable of flying with your dreams and creations. Everything makes you feel so alive and in the moment. It is the very best high of all.

The Game of Life

I always get a kick out of Life. It's like this sophisticated board game were you aren't given the rule book. LOL! You sometimes have an idea of the destination. Your sort of clear on the journey and then life happens and how you thought it was going to be and how it is are very different.

You suddenly look up and realize that what you asked for was answered! Just not in the way you anticipated. You then have to laugh and think to yourself. I need to be so much clearer in what I ask for or sometimes you got exactly what you needed without all the Drama.

Sometimes you have the right idea and sometimes Source, Universe (God) has it all figured out and your just along for the ride. No matter what the destination. If you start to let go of the details the gifts that you get back are so incredibly beautiful that you would never have been able to work out all the detail as beautifully as what happens when "You Start to Let GO!"

Healing Moments

Life can be incredibly poetic. When we grow and realize that sometimes those healing moments take time. Sometimes we get confirmation that healing has occurred by our failure to react to situations that might have caused us to be uncomfortable in the past. True healing comes when we no longer have any emotional attachment. It is realizing that in some situations both people can finally have a win/win.

Living Your Dream

Sometimes, it's good to live your dream in bite size pieces first. This way you can grow into them. You have to slowly learn to think, feel and then be your dream. Sometimes learning to ride a bike seems easier than learning to follow your dream.

We get to play with different ideas and make mistakes along the way as we learn. If they'd told us how many famous people failed before they became famous. I think we'd embrace failure a lot more instead of being so afraid of it. We often forget that before we could ride that bike. We fell and scraped our knees and for some of us; learning to ride a boys bike with the bar was more painful than a skinned knee.

But somehow we've forgotten that we learned by persistence and not just over night. So why should we be so hard and intolerant with ourselves when we're in the process of learning to follow our dreams and learning how to be us.

Bear Traps

Whenever I encounter jerks. I just let them talk. I know it won't take long for them to open their mouths and insert both feet. Sometimes their family members or co-workers. No matter who they are they usually succeed in showing they're ignorance. Their attempt to one-up you usually results in having egg all over their face. When the train wreck is over I just smile : ) They have succeeded at doing to themselves what they were trying to do to you. The Universe has such a sick sense of humor. Just but sick!

Success

Have you ever thought what makes you feel successful? Is it the stuff or your accomplishments? For everyone the answer will be different. Sometimes it's reaching a certain dollar amount for income. It all depends on where we came from.

Our past in some ways does guide us to our present or future. It gets interesting when we stop chasing it or competing for it. When does that illuminating moment come? In you twenties, thirties, forties, or older or never?

When do you stop needing others approval to live your life the way you want too? When do you start to feel like a grown up? I do know that when you march to you own drum. You do start to get more inner peace.

You some how give yourself permission to be okay with yourself. Because you are you! Otherwise you could be chasing fictional characters and measurements for an eternity.

Tipping Point

You never quite know how or when you will receive a message your about to reach a tipping point. Sometimes these are messages from a dream or your own actions in progress. Whatever your journey has in store for you. You will receive it in the right way for you.

You just have to pay attention. Symbolism from things we are familiar with is usually how it manifests first. When you start to enter a new chapter in your life it can be very exciting. Sometimes, I think the best part is the journey and not necessarily the destination.

New Moon

The new moon we had this month was huge.Incredibly beautiful though. It was much closer than before so you could give it the respect it deserved. Unusually, it appears more distant. Not this time, it was definitely in your face and you couldn't ignore it.

The only thing I can compare it to is seeing the sun rise if you've just come in on an early morning flight. Both experiences were very awe inspiring. Hopefully you made a list of things you wanted to bring in to your life. I know I did.

Source

Source is called by many different names. It is how you manifest what you want? Some people make lists and check things off as things materialize. Others pray for the end result and they get it. It doesn't have to be complicated.

What people forget to do is pay attention to inner cues. Like does it feel easy when I think of having whatever it is that your asking for or does it feel like their is resistance. Sometimes its not what your asking for that is the problem it's the order in which your asking or the location of what your asking for?

When we were children we were taught to ask for things in prayer and then when we get to be adults we think we're too old for that. If that's what works for you use it. If making a list of end results of what you want works go with it.

The details will usually fill themselves in. It is still important to celebrate or say thank you for what has manifested after all it is the polite thing to do and it helps source give you more of what you want.

Valentine's Day

I absolutely love this month. It is the perfect time to figure out how to spoil yourself if your single or to rethink your game plan for next year if your not. If your single, you can decide if you want some chocolates. A delicious meal and a movie.

A GREAT novel to get you through your special day. Flowers and a day at the spa. Nice candles? Or all of the above. I love this day because you can call the shots on how you want to spend that day! Just be sure to disconnect that pesky phone or turn the off botton if you use a cell. There are so many ways that you can spend this delicious day that its almost impossible to list them all.

My wish for you is that you spend it stress free. Best Wishes on your Special Day.

Passions

I am finding that as time goes by you acquire more and more passions. They start out as a taste here and there before you know it they have taken root as strong opinions. I've worked in many industries. I have since learned from those experiences.

Fashion will slowly creep into that category, but if you work in it for a while you will suddenly find that those shoes that you would have normally just liked. Now you must have them and all reason starts to go out the window. Same with clothes.

Here's the really weird part. Once your not part of that industry, you suddenly become a sane rational person again. You can walk by them and not obsessed with them. It's really funny how we can rationalize some of these things when we're surrounded by them. I think, I've had the most amazing experiences. Some I'm glad are done. Some were growth experiences.

Then we have our friends. Some are DRAMA all over the place, and others are vanilla they are always at status quo. Then you have the quirky person in your life they either look at life as having a sense of humor. You might even have that fiesty person in your life who stands up for themself and is not a door mat.

Whatever your passions may be people, causes, give them a great big hug and embrace what makes you stand out. After all this is YOU!

Family

Recently, I had a family member come into town unexpectedly. I had the best time in a long time with them. I got to appreciate the time spent with them. It was almost like savoring a fine chocolate. We had fun and did things. I hadn't seen them in almost 5 yrs.

It was less hussle and bussle. I actually didn't have to worry about my schedule like I usually did before. I actually got to enjoy their company. I don't think, I'd had truly this much fun with them since about the '70's. It's interesting how life or I really should say work tends to make us choose between it or family.

In other cultures, I don't think they let work intrude this much in their lives. Here it starts out by choosing which funerals we will attend? Like somehow it's more justifiable to attend closer family funerals than say a cousins funeral. I hope that as time goes by that I'm always able to keep family close instead of at a distance.

Time

One thing that I've noticed this week is that time seems to be poking along. I've looked at my watch and it seems like it should be hour later than it is. I first started noticing it yesterday and thought well maybe it's a fluke. I'll have to see if this seems to be continuing.

I'm am more jazzed about 2010. I'm glad that we are starting fresh. Last year, the energy seemed to be more about tearing down the old. It will be interesting to see it this trend continues into 2012. Usually my days seem to fly. I am having more fun actually enjoying the slower pace. It's refreshing to be able to have your day go at a leasurely pace.
