Transform and Empower -- Understanding Divine Oneness

Each of us has the opportunity and the responsibility to transform and empower ourselves. I don't believe this is anything that most people don't already know. Each of us need to step it up or our beautiful Mother/Sister Earth is going to take care of herself and though that would be good for her I don't think we will like it.

I am concerned but I feel very centered and calm. Never before has there been a major catastrophe on this planet that didn't affect me, depress me and bring an overall sadness to me. This time is different. I choose what I focus on, what not to focus on, and to stay empowered and send love out to where it is needed.

Do you understand how much your thoughts affect your environment? It isn't about positive and negative. It is that everything you think and feel not only affects you but emanates outward to everyone and everything around you. You are connected, mind, body, emotion, and spirit to all.

It is discovering what triggers you so that you can transform what you feel and think to heal yourself and thereby healing all.

We are all connected. We are all Divine. We are all one. If you hurt yourself you are hurting others; empower yourself and you empower others.

• Dance

Get out of your home and move your body. It is spring and the best time to do it. Create new and good habits. Challenge yourself and take action now! Have fun, smile, and enjoy life.

I am you, you are me, we are one. Much Love to you All.

Aries Full Moon with Spring Equinox

We are quickly approaching the Full moon in Aries in combination with Spring Equinox. The key words for Aries are trust, innocence, and courage (from The Shamanic Astrology Handbook by Daniel Giamario with Carolyn Brent under Aries).

Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara, is a time for planting seeds both figuratively and actually; a time of renewal and fertility. Bring these two together and you have a very powerful combination.

Many years ago I started celebrating Spring Equinox/Ostara instead of Easter. Some of the activities we have shared over the years:

• Family day of sharing
• Painting rocks with symbols of attributes we wish to bring into our lives
• Painting eggs
• Spring baskets (usually something that can be reused for the bathroom or bedroom) filled with toiletries, towels, and washcloths and a little something sweet
• Picnics when the weather was nice

This year I am encouraging my family to have a sharing day of the seeds they would like to plant with the intent of adding the Full moon in Aries energy of trust, innocence and courage. And what each of us are going to do to take care of ourselves this spring. We will be dancing in all the wonderful energies for the seeds that we will be planting. Dance is my favorite avenue for raising energy or dispelling it. Movement is so incredibly important for your body and your mind and is a powerful way for raising energy.

Then we will gather and play music together. I play hand drums and the native flute, Christie plays Didgeridoo, Elizabeth plays just about anything and Olivia loves the hand drums. Fun Fun Fun!!!

May you have a wonderful Aries full moon and a Delicious Self Renewal Ostara/Spring Equinox!

A Shadowy Day

Last night went really well with the Clutterologist. I of course couldn't stand it and had to clean all day yesterday so the place looked fairly well when she showed up. Exhausted but happy with the outcome I was very much looking forward to my one of two days that I get to have to myself in the morning to work on my writing and my next video.

Then Christie reminded me that Tuesday was the day she and I have to get up early and go to an appointment that I had completely forgotten about. Okay, I think, no problem I can still have my afternoon to write and work on creating another video (I just finished a Priestess Process video).

We didn't get home until 2:30 p.m. No problem, I have three and a half hours until Elizabeth has to go to work and my shift with Olivia begins. Christie grabs the good laptop because it was too late for her to go back to work. Alright... I will just work on my writing and later work on my next video. Elizabeth knocks on the door, "Mom my head is killing me and I really need to Lie down, can you watch Olivia for me?" Puffing out a long breath I realize today is going to be a total loss in regards to work.

Olivia has chosen today to be one of her, "Everything is frustrating me so I am going to have a tantrum every other minute." days.

It reminds me of the ol' days commercial, "Calgon take me away." I don't have time for that today either.

Meanwhile Christie has left for her workout appointment and Elizabeth is moments away from leaving for work and I am racing to get this blog post completed.

Now I am feeling moopy. It is a combination of moody and mope. As I hear my daughter getting ready to go out the door, I realize I can go turn on my fast, fun music that Olivia will love too and we can both dance out our frustrations together. As I let out another long breath, there is always Thursday.

Dancing Into Life

I heard someone ask if there was more to life than this. I say it is what we make it. As people choose to move out of fear and living a more authentic life I believe this question will be asked less and less.

It is through clearing/healing our fears, connecting with the Divine, ourselves and others that we can move into seeing the magical mysteries, sacred moments and miracles.

There are numerous activities that people could involve themselves in if they could only see them. The problem is they are mired down in the illusion of "I can't, I won't, It isn't possible, I will never, They will never" and on and on.

If they could just stop for a moment, turn on fun music and dance out of their body all the yuck they are feeling then dance into their body their new intention of "Living, loving, and being who they really are, their authentic self." It would create a shift of I am enough, I am the one I have been waiting for, I can do anything I really desire to do, the possibilities are endless.

Movement is key. We have to start moving our bodies. Our bodies are meant to move and the more we move with intention the more we will see the positive shift that a lot of people are looking for bringing back the sacredness of life.

Turn on your favorite music and dance your way into a more fulfilling life.
