Spring

With the energy getting stronger and stronger. What are you  planting for Spring? It can be actual seeds in your garden or in your life? What have you set out to accomplish! Are you actually taking time to invest in your own future. This does not mean actually paying to go to school. Knowledge can be acquired by simply picking up a book, watching some videos. Or taking some online seminars.

Some people might be focusing on getting out of debt. Removing toxic people or work environments from our lives. Getting rid of clutter around your home. Whatever you want to change in your life. Just remember you do have control over bringing in some of that change. Just by taking action, whether its showing immediate results or not. You have started to participate in your own life and initiate change.

Not sure how to tackle money issues, libraries exist for that reason. Librarians are a resource too! Many people think that Librarians just shelve books. They have more training than you think. They are trained to access other resources online and within the library network. They can recommend books that are focused on your very problem.

Many people don't even scratch the surface of the resources around them. The libraries exist as a storage for resources and knowledge that is available to all. This is the equal and level playing field for those without money. It is the spring board to help you find some of the missing pieces in your education and help build a foundation for your ideas and dreams. It houses more than books on mysteries and romance novels.

When they say knowledge is power! Nothing could be more true! If you have dreams of creating a better future for yourself. This is one place to start, the staff at the library can also help you rind non-profit resources for your business to help with the next steps. This why expanding your network of people around you is so important. Poor people don't have the knowledge to help other poor people leave poverty. Same with Middle class! Once you have the road map out of your own limitations you can create so much more.

Your start to have choices, you start to see those dreams materialize. They lead to the road out of your limited world and open more opportunities for yourself and your family. So as the weather warms up. What will you plant this year?

Prosperity

Prosperity is every one's birth right. We are all unique and have gifts to share with this planet. When someone tells you that wealth is a sin. Tell them to go blow! Without prosperity, we wouldn't have groceries, heat, electricity or shelter. If they like living in a cave. That's up to them! The Universe loves to help us create our reality. It loves to see us happy and joyful!

There is nothing wrong with being happy or prosperous. This bullshit about sin and shame is marketing of spirituality in know as religion. Anything that seeks to enslave your or make you feel like you're less than is not teaching empowerment. The Universe tries to help you succeed at whatever you focus on at every turn.

It's interesting that when you meet people from other countries. If they weren't taught the failure teachings. They are very successful and make money very easily. They often can't understand why anyone would ever think its a sin to be successful. Yet this is the very teachings of many churches. It's their way of keeping you from being successful.

Our minds are very much like computers. If you put garbage in! You will only reap garbage out! If you put prosperity in by learning, teachings and people that you associate. You will be more than surprised by how much your life will benefit in all directions of your life. So next time you might want to take a real look at your life. Do you surround yourself with thieves and jealous people or people that are genuine and constantly trying to grow as a person?

May you find much prosperity on your journey called life!

Energy

Energy is every where. It can feel different to different people. People that are going through poverty challenges usually have heavy or chaotic energy. If they have chaotic energy, they are usually having lots of drama around them or might be doing drugs or have a mental challenge. People that have heavy energy are usually experiencing a lot of challenges around money or opportunities. Their energy can feel very oppressive.

Sometimes it can be the people around them that is making their energy feel heavy. Once they start to do some personal house cleaning. Getting rid of the bad relationships, object or possessions that they don't like, jobs that they hate. Moving into a place they like. Clothes they love, furniture they like. People that are especially sensitive, need to have new items without the energy of previous owners.

Possessions that have been owned by someone else can still have that person's energy around it. That can be good or bad. If that energy feels lower than that isn't a great thing. If it's a higher energy it can feel great. Even your house has an energy or living space. It's paying attention to that energy. If it feels heavy than that isn't a great thing when your trying to have more opportunities in your life. Or if the energy feels stagnant. That means that it will be harder to have some new opportunities to come in. This is when it's time to sage, or burn incense, or ringing bells to shift the energy to bring in new opportunities.

A lot of times, it can be as simple as getting rid of things that you no longer like. It starts to shift that energy and getting it to start to move again. By buying new things or replacing old objects it is telling the Universe that you are changing and ready for new opportunities. If you keep having a hard time bring in new jobs or more money. Look around and see what you don't want any more. If you received clothing that you've never liked. Either get the money for it or give it to a charity or someone that actually likes it.

By releasing stuff, it allows more things to come into your life. It allows you to have a new desk or file cabinet. The energy becomes lighter and more energetic. This is what attracts new opportunities to your life. It also is on people, if your around someone whose energy feels very heavy. This is a clue that they are not a match to your energy. This is not a judgment about what this person is going through. They are just having an opportunity to grow. They can either choose to or not. If your paths are meant to cross they will. Just respect that they will learn in the way that their meant to learn. There is no right or wrong way to grow.

There are many paths to the same destination. The only thing that matters is that you got there your way.

Dream Time

Dream time can help us problem solve a lot of things going on in our lives. It can also allow spirit to communicate warnings to us. It can be hard to tell the difference at first. If your an inventor, it can be the perfect time to get answers to that area where your stuck. Premonitions come to us in dreams. It is the perfect time to see what we want to change in our waking time.

I have often received warnings in my dreams. Sometime I've listened and sometimes I haven't. It's kind of like studying for a test. When we didn't listen, we learn things from those incidents. I've learned to listen or at least try to listen. I'm not a fan of having car accidents. In those dreams, it can be a story playing out to let us know that we're on the right path. It can also be to let us know that change is right around the corner.

Sometimes those warnings are literal or symbolic. In some cases it might take practice to get them right. In others it might just be about getting the message. Each person need to learn for themselves on this one. I've had some wonderful gifts unfold with these dreams. Things that I could never have predicted or imagined. Spirit works in some pretty amazing ways.

Most people will have things that relate to the physical world. People that are psychic or healers. We get different messages that relate to both the physical and the spirit world. We have our feet in both worlds and it get much more complicated. This is when some of us wish we had boring lives sometimes. Regardless it will definitely pull you out of your comfort zone.

Not For The Faint Of Heart

I often have people ask me if they should explore spiritual or psychic development classes. I usually ask them how there relationship is with their spouse? The reason I ask is because that relationship might not survive them moving in this direction. If they are okay with taking the chance that they might end up alone; then I tell them to explore it.

Whether your a child or an adult, when you start to experience psychic experiences. They can be extremely frightening if your not prepared for it. It is in a way an initiation of your soul growth. It will get you to question and start to think for yourself. It is very helpful to be in a group, where other people have experienced similar things.

I think the first experience can be the most startling. It doesn't help if parents of a child are close minded. It can make the situation much worse; it can make a child feel more isolated and hesitant to talk about these experiences. Religion, does not help either. Most religions tend to label everything as evil. As a person grows on their spiritual path the experiences are different for each individual.

The thing to remember is that you do have control of the situation. You always have the right to tell it to please stop if that experience is too frightening for you.  You can ask them to make any new experiences to be more gentle. Your angels and guides are usually just trying to communicate with you. Unfortunately, those signs they're trying to give you; can sometimes freak you out instead of being comforting.

Think of this as learning a new language for both of you. Spirit is trying to communicate with you and trying to figure out what to do or not do. They aren't trying to scare you. This is part of the initiation in spiritual growth. It's sort of like going to school, you learn new things about yourself and how to communicate with spirit and how to interpret their messages. This is where the largest learning curve happens. Oh and don't think that you learn everything and then are done. That done part doesn't ever come.

Just remember to speak to your angels and guides often. Tell them what frightens you and what doesn't so you can reach a happy medium with your communication with each other. Just remember that they are on your side and your never alone. If you do choose to learn and grow, just remember to take a big breathe and slowly let it out. You will learn a lot about yourself on this journey.

Failure

Most people look at this as a bad thing. Nothing could be further from the truth. Many famous people have failed before they had great break throughs of success. Failure is just a learning curve, where there might be missing steps or knowledge that we have not achieved. Sometimes it can mean that at this time in our life; we might not have those skills, steps or met the people that have those skills yet.

If you've ever attempted to try something again that you might have failed at in the past. You reflect on where things went off the rails. Maybe it was money, skills or steps. Because you have a base or a foundation from the past. You can look at the steps that went wrong and make correction strategies; on how you can handle or prevent those from happening again. This gives us an edge that others might have had to learn from.

Every person's learning experience is different. We are all different individuals with different skill sets. Real estate has its own learning curves. If your a painter, plumber, electrician or contractor. You have a pre-laid game plan going into investment property that others might not have. These are skills that minimize your risks up front.

Other things in life, depending on your personal experiences or your knowledge will give you an edge over other people in other areas. Failure doesn't always mean that we will fail again when we try something again. Sometimes it can be an economic thing that was beyond our control. The thing is to learn from our mistakes and failure and come up with other strategies to have different results and minimize our personal risks.

Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. If you've not great at something hire someone who has that skill set.

Who Are You?

When you take an intimate look at yourself, do you even know who you are? Or is it more like who you think you are? Are you staying the same or are you changing? Are you heading in the direction that you want your life to go. Sometimes we want to take certain classes, but the money might not be there. There might be a program locally that comes up with some classes that are related to the direction you are trying to go. Sometimes this is the little cues from the Universe to get us back on course.

When we ignore these little signs from the Universe, the opportunities stop coming. Always pay attention! It's these little steps, that start to get us closer to our end goals. These journeys, allow us to grow and get to know ourselves better. Some people make a list of things they want to get accomplished like a bucket list. One thing, I've noticed is that sometimes those things on the list are accomplished by us; sometimes they're accomplished the circumstances we're in.

We always have the opportunity to change ourselves. Education can be found in many forms. Classrooms, books, computer videos. The last two can be found in a library if money is tight. Classroom education comes in many forms. University, technical schools, community education, other specialized classes that are listed at a location. Opportunities are every where.

Once every six months go through the things you want to change about yourself. These can be accomplished with big and small steps. This is always about moving forward and not focusing on looking back at our failures. The failures are building blocks from which we learn. We can learn if there was a gap that we didn't previously see or all the steps were sound and where we took a misstep.

All that matters is that we are growing.

Life

Some where a long the way, people came to this unfortunate conclusion that it's not ok to make mistakes. So they practically wrap their kids in bubble wrap or have a safety net for them. They never allow them to make even the most basic mistake.

Even famous people through out history have made mistakes. Some times numerous time. Without these mistakes they would have never learned what does and does not work. These are all part of the right of passage in the game of life. Without these learning experiences, small things suddenly become these blown out of proportion life changing experiences that cause lots of unnecessary drama and stress.

Mistakes are part of learning survival and growing skills. No one knows everything. This misconception that mistakes are bad is what is causing the younger generations to over react an commit suicide or stress out over things that are easily fixed. When you deny people these learning  opportunities; your are stealing from them an opportunity to learn something valuable about themselves. You not allowing them to learn problem solving skills.

You in essence teaching them that their failures and not smart enough to solve their own life problems. This unfortunately makes the situation worse. The reason people make mistakes or encounter problems is to teach them small solutions from a young age; so they are able to handle adult solutions to problems as they become adults. To have more confidence in themselves and less stress.

Without these progressions, these people are unprepared for life and have a bigger learning curve. They must take steps backwards to learn some of; if not all of the basics that they were denied learning to begin with.

Poverty

To each person that word means something different. It depends on the country you grew up in and how it was viewed by that culture. It has a smell, feeling and taste. To some it might be sadness, violence, insecurity?

It might feel like a simpler time, depending on your memories if they were happy or sad? Certain foods in an instance can trigger memories or feelings of happiness or sadness. The taste of certain foods are reminders as well. Those that are visual, will find things that annoy them on sight.

These reminders can be just enough incentive to make sure that we never go back to a time like that without a fight. Here's the funny part, poverty can be a person growing up in a middle class home. It's all about our frame of reference.

To some people poverty is about money. To some it's about not having enough family or friends. See it's all very abstract. That's why logic isn't always the truth. Poverty can be synonymous with stress, pain, shame, violence and the list can go on.

Some of this is brought about by constantly comparing our lives to others. Some of it is just a brutal reality check when whats going out is more than whats coming in. Some of it happens, when things are beyond our control. For some this will be a temporary stop on the journey of life and others will feel like their life has hit the longest drought on journey.

Others make a game out of it. They have learned how to make it work for them and content with what they have and no intention of changing themselves. While others look at it as something dirty and abhorant and can't find ways fast enough to dig themselves out of it.

The important part about these journeys is not to Judge yourself but try to reasses what you've learned and see if different choices will change the results?

Past Life Lovers

I have done a dance with the most interesting characters. Some I've met in this most recent life.
Others, I have yet to meet. You can tell how many lives you've had with them by how strong the chemistry pull seems to be.

My ex-husband, it was the first life time that we've actually been married. I saw what our contract was to be and what he was supposed to learn in this life time. I also saw the pattern from his past in many of his life times and how he'd become stuck. Because of our paths crossing it did change some things in his life this time. Unfortunately he was unwilling to do the work.

I have met another man that I was married to in the Middle East in the past. It is amazing how much work our souls do to clear karma or make changes in personal growth. The fact that I was able to see the past helped me make some connections and allow me to see how far I'd grown since our past life together.

For some, they need years of counseling to heal the past hurts. The Universe on the other hand allows us to use as many life times to grow and heal.

The Best Romance

The Best Romance

Wouldn't it be great if Parents taught their kids to get to know themselves.

I think it's still interesting that there are so many children's books where they push the happily ever after thing complete with Miss Charming or Mr. Charming.

This is one of the reasons we have so many divorces in this country. Most people have no clue who they are?

They don't know if they're even happy?

They think that being happy is having another person in your life? It's one of those Card moments.

People have never been told the truth that you can still be lonely with another person.

So they go rushing into another relationship, like this will finally be the answer.

It's only after several of these failed results we learn that we need to actually take some time out for ourselves and get to know us. It's like secretly we don't like ourselves. We're so afraid that if we get to know ourselves, we think we won't like us.

Once you take the time to get to know yourself. You find more inner peace and calmness than we ever imagined. Even if you find things that you don't like about yourself. You can choose to change or not. After all it is your choice.

You start to learn your likes and dislikes.

You learn what people you like or don't.

Your life starts to change and you start to take back your power.

Amazing things start to happen, you become more happy and less angry.

You also find out if you hate your job or even like the people you work with?

You start to take adult steps to make the changes in the areas of your life that make you unhappy. Instead of being angry and thinking that your miserable so your going to make everyone around you miserable!

Once you've discovered the greatest romance with yourself. You start to smile more and have more positive things happening to you.

Dark Night of the Soul

My Angels and Guides want me to write this so I am. The dark night of the soul can mean many different things for different people. The dark night of the soul is not a punishment that is metered out. It is about helping on your personal journey to growth.

It is like the tides of the ocean that come in and role out. When your ready for the next leap in personal growth you will get this journey. Never for one moment think that you have been abandoned by Source. For Source never abandons its creations.

It comes right before you leap to the other side of having learned your lessons in the school of life. Think of it almost like winning the lottery for when you have completed this journey to the other side. The gifts that come to you are many.

Sometimes its a new job, new home or a new group of friends that are on the same page with you. Sometimes you've won back your hard earned self-esteem and self-confidence. You will receive the gifts that you need to help you on your next journey. Sometimes it is material, spiritual, or a new mental attitude on how you face and participate in your life.

The dark night of the soul is never about playing the victim. It is about taking responsibility and learning personal strength. This is why it so important that people not meddle in others life lessons. The lessons get harder each time the person doesn't learn. By meddling, you are not saving this person. You are making their personal journey much harder than it has to be.

Never for one second think that you are alone on this journey. Source and the Angels are on this journey with you. All you have to do is but ask for their help and help they will. Because we have free will these spiritual beings respect that and can not interfere unless it is life or death.

You are never bothering them. They live to serve, they are only waiting for you to ask.
