Emma Lou’s Anniversary

designingfairy2 Comments

Actually, it was the 15th, but this week we celebrate when an angel came to our door. Emma Lou will be turn around 5 years old now. I love the idea of doing a tribute while someone is still here. Emma Lou has been truly a godsend in every way. She’s funny, loving, caring, a great cuddler, and very wise. And makes a great model!

In honor of her anniversary, have a virtual cupcake, give lots of pets to your animals and please send her a virtual hug. I am in deep gratitude for my fuzzy friend and dog-ter who has been unwavering support the last 5 years. She is truly God in action and can I only hope to be as good a person as she is.

When bad stuff happens in the world, do you feel it?

designingfairy7 Comments

As an empath, you may have felt, before anything bad happened, a sense of dis-ease. Before the big earthquake in Japan, I felt down and a sense of hopelessness I couldn’t place. I told my one friend a week ago, “Something big is about to happen, earth-wise. I don’t know what yet.” I’m an earth sign, and work closely with the earth, so I guess I picked up the feelings of the ground like I do people or animals.

How do you protect yourself from the pain? Send lots of love, prayers, and healing to Japan, but stay away from the news. If you are visual, don’t even think about looking at photos of devastation. As an empath, you can read into a photo and FEEL, and you don’t need to feel that much pain. It helps no one.

And no, I don’t believe Mother Earth is angry. I believe the earth is changing and shifting fast and furious like us. It’s a giant mirror for each other, so to speak. Sometimes change can look ugly like a homely adolescent that becomes a great beauty. Nurture yourself now with lots of self care and don’t feel the weight of the world.

Ironically, as I write this, I hear Josh Groban’s song, “Don’t Give up.” “Don’t give up. It’s just the weight of the world. When your heart’s heavy, I will it for you. Don’t give up. Because you are loved.”

A little nod from the Angels.

Banish the Blah Bubbles – Excerpt Friday

designingfairy


As an integral part of the Fairy Beginner class, I have students do a seemingly simple exercise that is very telling. I designed it almost 5 years ago, and the last few weeks I realized how important this exercise is.

For fun I am going to do the Banish the Blah Bubble 30 day challenge. I encourage you to do the same.

For each day I will create a bubble or circle (I created flowers from my Art journal pages for fun) and will write down what brought me true joy that day or gave me energy or a rise. This is true guidance from myself.

The interesting thing is what makes me happy, and truly happy, may be very different than someone else’s bubble. My “yes” may be your “no.” I am stripping away where I have molded, compromised, agreed to, and isn’t mine.  I may think I like walking, but maybe I’d prefer dancing for my exercise. Maybe others see me in a life of travel but I’d prefer a secure homebase to feel grounded and happy. My bubbles will lead me there. I made the above bubbles 5 years ago, and I am surprised by some of my joys and many have changed, as have I. I might not want the same things as time goes on either, but my bubbles tell me what I do want in the present.

Here’s my bubble for yesterday, which is officially Day 1 of my challenge. I dare you too.

And for what doesn’t work for me and lands on my Nasty Fairy list, I present:

The WTF Award

I secretly have a WTF award (okay, now it is not a secret), I give out in my mind each week to the stupidest words said to me or the behavior that was just crazy or mean. This week I give this prestigious award to the Weed Guy who is supposed to call ahead before spraying the yard with toxic chemicals. He left me an answering machine message he was swinging by not saying when and just hoped the dogs wouldn’t be out. WTF?? I do give him the benefit of the doubt because I do think there is some damage there from inhaling so much weed killers, but this about the safety of my girls that I don’t take lightly.

Comfort Cards

designingfairy

One of my favorite missions is empowering women. Many of the lessons I’ve learned working with Guides and Angels have been messages on how to nurture or encourage myself. These messages were compiled and accompany my line of illustrated Comfort Cards to be comfort for you. Cards are available as prints and postcards at my Etsy store. Load up a few as nice reminders.

Review of Afterlives of the Rich and Famous

designingfairy5 Comments

It’s Thursday, that means, Review! Today I review:

Afterlives of the Rich and Famous by Sylvia Browne

I have a hidden passion, or maybe just guilty pleasure of reading tabloids like People magazine and Entertainment Weekly. I love to see what the celebs are up to, and especially like to see their humanity and how they are very much like the rest of us with problems, spiritual lessons and all. Therefore, I jumped at the chance to review Sylvia Browne’s new book, which has great bios on stars who have recently crossed over to the Other Side, including one of my personal favorites, Brittany Murphy. How are they doing now? Have they found happiness or healing on the Other Side? What did they learn while they were here? That’s the premise of her new book.

I enjoyed the intro which includes a breakdown of what makes up the world of the Other Side and what steps we go through when we return, as I love all info about the afterlife.  As with many of Sylvia’s books, I did differ with some details or facts she presents including her definition of “soulmates,” that we have only one Guide and I’ve experienced several, and a few other facts.  That can be explained as our paths and psychic experiences are as individual as our thumbprints and therefore, our perceptions or knowings are different. Even those who have had near-death experiences described their time in heaven differently.

I read with interest the bios of each hand-picked celebrity whose tales of life and then demise were told. I was like the kid in the candy store indulging on a giant lollipop taking in facts I had read before, and some I didn’t know.

Sylvia was taught that we all have life themes that we came in to explore. I had a hard time choosing which one resonated with me, my mind jumping around from “psychic” to “caretaker,” “rescuer,” and then “artistic pursuits,” and wondered why there wasn’t one marked “teacher” as I know is one of my missions. So far, my life hasn’t easily fallen neatly into any specific boxes, and I don’t think there is a simple formula that we all follow. It seems I had several themes and “to do’s” on my list to learn this time around, but it was fun to read about each celebrity’s themes chosen for them.

I haven’t always been a fan of Sylvia’s hard-ass style on delivering messages and have been upfront with that opinion. I did enjoy her book on dreams and recommend it as a resource in my Talking to Angels, Guides and Dead People class. I enjoyed the down-to-earth style of the writing this time around, but I did have a hard time with a large portion of this book.

As a teacher, I push that everyone can communicate with their Guides and doesn’t need a middleman. Mediums, like myself, simply can assist or get things rolling. From direct experience talking to or feeling your Guides, consciously recognizing their guidance, you become a believer. You feel that truth of what they say because you develop a trust and see their messages validated in your life. The messages of how the celebrities are doing on the Other Side are transcripted from information channeled from Francine, Sylvia’s longstanding Guide. Francine’s summaries on each celebrity can’t be backed by any kind of validation, which made it hard for my logical mind to embrace.  I don’t know Francine. I haven’t worked with this Guide directly for years like Sylvia has. I am sure she is highly trustworthy, but my mind still couldn’t grasp it. I’m not on the Other Side to concur the details she gives. To my mind, the recaps of where they are now could have been wish-for fantasies or made-up stories that we would want to hear. I would have embraced it more if, perhaps,  Sylvia retold mediumship readings she did with the relatives of the celebrities. Then there would be a logical psychic connection between relative and the crossed-over, and instant validation of the information or facts coming through from the left-behind brother or spouse. Instead, it felt like the heresay in People magazine, “So and so saw our celebrity having lunch with big time movie star and is rumored to have said…” I just couldn’t make that blind leap.

It was fun to read as a guilty pleasure, and if I simply saw the book as another tabloid report, took in the details about the afterlife that I enjoy, then it was an entertaining read.

Thanks to Trish for giving me the opportunity to review this book for Ronni’s Psychic Room.

I’m having the weirdest day and mysteries solved

designingfairy

This has truly been an odd day. Today’s theme: solving mysteries!

Emma Lou, those of you who read my blog know she’s my basset hound, ate a box of gum yesterday. I still don’t know how she got it out of my purse, which was mostly closed and hanging on my chair hidden under a bunch of coats. I only know there was evidence of the box out in the yard. And, yes, oddly enough, her body must thrive on gum because she’s perfectly fine. That mystery hasn’t been solved yet. I think it has something to do with her very long stomach that made it doable. But grateful, a scary thing was taken care of on its own. (I did give her homeopathy and flower essences for making sure things kept moving.)

This morning, a reader led me to an article on personality disorders that helped me with a clue dealing with a person I knew in the past offering big-time validation. I’m so grateful that guidance came in such a round-about way but solved another mystery why she acted like she did.

I was so exhausted today that when I went to buy t.p. at the grocery store, I used my wrong debit card and thought I overdrawn my other account. If I had just bought the t.p. I’d been fine, but I got cash back without thinking.  Knowing I had a automatic payment coming through for my car insurance, I panicked. I rushed home to check my bank account and thought I just screwed up when I saw a zero balance and would probably have a fee! So I rushed back into town exhausted to the bank and found out all my upset was for naught. The car insurance payment didn’t post yet, and I had checks to deposit to cover what I needed when it did. I didn’t have to solve this one either, it was taken care of by itself.

Back at home, the neighbor mystery was finally solved. What mystery, you ask? My neighbors have been slowly disassembling their mobile home. Out when the porch. Then the shed. Then the bricks under the house. A few trees were moved. The renters were there one day and then gone the next. Then only one came back. It was fascinating to watch and wonder and quite weird. I finally got to talk to the landlords and found out that they sold the old mobile and were putting a new, fancier one in its place, which the landlords would now live in. Sounded like the renters were a bit interesting and there were quite a few stories there.

Overall thought for the day is I love solving mysteries but I especially like when they solve themselves.

Finding your thread career guidance

designingfairy

Did you ever notice that when you learn a lesson or finally “get” a message of guidance, it seems so simple yet so true?

I am learning, or actually, relearning the lesson of “finding your thread.” Many of my clients and students are in transition regarding career and feel a bit lost. For myself, I am fine-tuning or targetting that mission every day. What I have learned to pass along is the importance of identifying what are the main skills or activities you love to do.

For instance, I am finding that I what I love to do has a common thread of detective/analytical/discovery work mixed in with compiling/designing/writing, then sharing or teaching what I learned. That thread is so simple yet took a while to wade through the crap that included:

1/what I thought I should want to do

2/what others wanted for me

3/past parental pleasing

4/what the market wanted me to be

What this discovery means is when I sway off the path of that thread, I’m not happy. If I am asked to do a workshop of something I no longer am exploring, and the discovery isn’t there or the detective work, I will walk away unfulfilled.  If there is no compiling/designing or putting together in some way, I will feel like a vital part is missing. And if there is no teaching component or sharing intended to help or inspire, I will feel empty.

I love making a flower essence which includes the discovery and creating and sharing. Creating my online classes includes all of the thread. Doing a reading involves lots of detective work, sharing and even compiling. These are all “yeses.”

Years ago, I was in a television pilot that didn’t include the creation/compiling end of things, so I felt a constant frustration throughout filming. When I didn’t include that activity/skill in my practice, I felt an emptiness I couldn’t name. When I was an illustrator only, I loved creating for a problem. There’s that analytical/compiling, the sharing, and discovery. My soul has been guiding me all along to what fits and doesn’t fit. That dissatisfaction let me know I was off my path of what fits me.

Finding this thread also eleviates a great deal of compromise on my part. I can also then, resist what others want for me but doesn’t fit. I simply take their suggestion and see if it fits into my thread.

What’s your thread? What is the component in your work that makes your heart sing happy Disney songs? What activity do you do naturally and would do even if you weren’t paid? What part of your work now doesn’t fit and drains you? That’s probably not part of your thread.

Explore…

(if you do need help finding that thread and need a little Guide assistance for your search, head over to the Readings page and schedule a reading. I’d be happy to help.)
