Signs from the Universe & Animal totems

designingfairy1 Comment

I think I have a new animal totem. The other day I was sitting in traffic when up ahead a roadrunner darted across the street in front of the cars. Now this is Arizona, but roadrunners aren’t usually running the street, so I did make note of it. We are still in the process of moving out our stuff from the other house to our new house, and luckily the two are close to each other. I made a visit to the old house, running back and forth from inside to gather handfuls of leftover stuff to put in my car. When I entered the porch, what I saw there really flipped my lid! A roadrunner was perched on the ledge. He stared at me for awhile, I stared back, and then gasped, which startled him and then he took off. I looked up Roadrunner on the net and in the bible of totems, Animal Speak. Roadrunner represents quick thinking, being able to shift dimensions easily (oh, my, isn’t that the truth), and being able to switch directions quickly.

I have a new Guide. This Guide has helped me considerably find solutions to quick problems. As we were moving, I needed a space to hold my repertoire of Ronni’s Potions. Immediately I heard the suggestion to use a shelf we packed earlier. I hadn’t even thought of this and the shelf worked perfectly. Perhaps this is my Roadrunner. Any way you slice it, this experience is quite remarkable and a very clear validation that the Universe and the Spirit world regularly communicates with us in so many ways.

Choices

designingfairy2 Comments

Wouldn’t it be very cool if we based our choices on if some action or thing felt good? I made a choice yesterday to miss a meeting of a group I belong to. I based that choice on one criteria–does it feel good when I go? And I thought, it–the meeting–feels awful and worse each time I go. Nothing should feel awful.

Moving is so ungrounding and movie reviews

designingfairy1 Comment

We are moving into our pink house. We are taking it slow and easy–something new for us and possibly my new motto. It’s Spring Break, we are all off from work and school, so we can extend the move. What I’ve noticed is Moving is very ungrounding! Empathically, I am constantly feeling odd stuff that is belonging to my family. It’s like one big whirlwind of emotions flying around! I have to constantly stop and think, is this mine? And when the thoughts and feelings are so foreign, I know they are not. The good news is we blessed the new house, smudged it and brought in fairy energy. Emma Lou has spread her delicious puppy energy throughout the house bringing her crazy silliness in. Everytime we go I feel good and silly, which is a new feeling for me lately. I like it. I am seriously thinking of dyeing my hair red and buying a new wardrobe–ah, signs of rebirth! My own stuff has come up also–from long ago, products of old moves. All part of the ungroundedness. I am finding that taking breaks during the move has helped us a great deal. We watched a ton of movies in our downtime:

– Last night we saw The Spiderwick Chronicles in the theater. Visually lush and fun; Hubby was a little disappointed. Had a “Jumangi” feel to it I liked. Fairies seemed to be shown in a bit of a mischievious light I didn’t like.  Loved, loved the flower fairies!!!

– Hated Pan’s Labyrinth.  Yes, it is beautifully done, but boy, is it depressing and violent. Empaths, you will have a hard time with the violence. The violence only got worse as the movie went on and the images more freaky. I am so visual and sometimes these images stay for a long time. Don’t recommend.

– Love Blades of Glory.  This skating comedy is so, so funny! Just what was needed during a move. The writing is well done and unlike many comedies that fall short in laughs towards the end, this comedy keeps delivering. Two thumbs up.

– Man of the Year. Love Robin Williams. Up in the air with this one. Kinda depressing, but good commentary on today’s politics.

– Ghosthunter reruns. Um, duh. You know I love this series.

– The Last Whimsy. Love, love this movie. It is real! The stuff the kids see is what I see most of the time, so this was very validating. This is a very forward thinking movie.  Sad when she had to say goodbye to the bunny though.

Until later movies…

Know Yourself

What I am learning…instead of lamenting on how I am and who I am, I need to embrace it. My soul is letting me know what I need to make me happy and when I explain away or tell myself my feelings aren’t spiritual, I miss out on important clues. What do I mean exactly?

1. I love variety and get bored easily, that is why I love design assignments, love creating a class, learning new things. When I am in a position of doing the same thing over and over, of course I’m unhappy. The new spiritual ideas floating around say you need to “fix” that unspiritual thought, but that’s untrue! Here’s a valuable clue to what makes me tick. I need to work with this, not paddle upstream by changing me. ( I love the True Colors system. When I read about it I found out that most Green’s feel that way).

2. I need alone time to touch base with myself and recharge. After reading the Introvert Advantage, I know that this is a truth for most folks like myself. It’s documented truth. If I try to force myself to be more social all the time like the rest of the world, I’m going to be one bitchy, nasty girl. My daughter is the opposite. She needs to be around people most of the time. She’s gotten alot more balanced and can now spend lots of time in her room. For a few years there I tried to accommodate her and be “out” more than “in”. It didn’t work. I overloaded most the time.

Without alone time I have no idea how I really feel. Then it’s not uncommon for me to say things like, “I didn’t even know I was angry.”

3.  A big clue you aren’t taking the time to hear yourself is when you are screaming at the Universe, “Don’t you hear me!”, when you don’t feel your needs are being heard. This was big a realization for me. Why should the Universe listen to you when you don’t?

Today, listen to yourself. Accept the negative feelings! Let it out! Don’t rewrite them to sound positive or to be politically correct or so you only attract the positive. The positive is underneath all that gunk that needs to come out first. These are clues to what you need, people. I write this for myself as a reminder, as well as, to share with you.

Ghosthunting

designingfairy2 Comments

I’m happy to say that Ghosthunters Series 3 Part Two is now in stores and we’ve been watching it. It’s my guilty pleasure! I’ve been learning that my other “job” at night has been helping cross over souls! That garden I see often is where souls go after leaving their bodies. Perhaps that was my own soul telling me about this when my absolute passion has been watching everything ghost-related–The Ghostwhisperer show, Ghosthunters, etc.–reading in the past anything Hans Holzer wrote & other ghost story authors, and even specializing for a long time in after-death animal communication when I was a full-blown practicing animal communicator (I focus on teaching mainly now). It would also explain so much death and transition in my life and the easy ability to journey to other realms and talk and see spirits. Lately, this ability has evolved further and I am anxious to see where it is heading and its purpose to heal.

Weird and Wild Energies

designingfairy1 Comment

It’s been a wild ride lately. Very lucid dreams, lots of Guide and Angel visits around the clock, big downloads and wacky energy. I love teaching and have been very busy lately. Have other lightworkers noticed how dead things are computer-wise? My blogs have been quiet, online biz very, very quiet, and yet teaching has been very busy and lots of flow. Thank Dog I have that! I am being shown which direction to go. I have felt so many changes to myself lately, it is as if now I am discerning what clothes fit me (biz choices, places to work and things to do) and what to throw out and donate.

Another change has been feeling less affected by even really big changes. I am less swept away with my emotions. Perhaps I am learning DUCK ENERGY. I did flip out yesterday when I found out that my course for next fall at the college was removed without my feedback. But, even then, I was watched out for by the Universe–someone caught the slight and renamed the class and threw it back into the schedule. I have a tendency to think the worse and brace myself (which can make perfect sense after a tortuous 2006 and 7), so it’s been wonderful to see I am being supported and taken care of. I had made an intention and announcement to that end to always feel well taken care of. Lately, I have been given gifts by my students, there’s the college save, our new home to be, and everyday this intention has been evident. Nice…. I have so much to share. Angelbeagle visits, seeing energy, spirits setting off alarms. Stay tuned…

Book Meme

designingfairy3 Comments

Sarah at Joyfulseeker has tagged me for a book meme.  Here’s the rules:

So, here are the rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I pick the Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, the ultimate self-help bible for artists.

“…If you win, you win, if you lose, you win.”

“It is always that way with taking risks. To put it differently, very often a risk is worth taking simply for the sake of taking it. There is something enlivening about expanding our self-definition, and a risk does exactly that.” 

Hmm, a bit of a message, eh? How very cool indeed. I invite the following to try their hand at this: my dearest Flyboy,  Lolo, Angelbaby, Listenfromwithin, Dyan

Missing dog again?

designingfairy

Lorraine wrote me another note that Bruiser heard fireworks and they almost had another missing dog incident. She communicated with him telepathically and they were quickly reunited. That is one smart dog teaching his person some old tricks. Check out her fab blog entry here and her adventures visiting and writing about her travels.

Sunday tip: rock person & clearing

designingfairy3 Comments

Have some negativity to get rid of? Taken on someone else’s stuff? This may manifest in a stomach or headache. My Fairy Guides have taught me to hold a rock person. Ask the rock or crystal to transmute the negative energy and send the energy into the rock as you hold it. When you feel complete, ask the rock what it needs to clear. You may intuitively pick up that the rock needs to sit in a window, or needs to set in a glass of sea salt. It may be a crystal that self-generates and never needs clearing. (Wouldn’t that be nice?)

Hearing Angels and Guides

designingfairy2 Comments

I have been noticing that my Guides and Angels are getting louder; or perhaps, I am hearing better! What I may have thought was only a passing thought going through my head, I now realize is communication.

I’ve been leaving pretty early in the mornings to head out on my long drive to Sedona to teach. I’m not an early riser, by far. In fact, I make no sense at all before 8 am. I try to make things easier for myself. For instance, I pick out my clothes the day before, because searching for a pair of matching socks at 630 am is my idea of torture. Usually, I make several trips to the car to warm it up and put things in the passenger seat. I know that I went through my purse the other morning looking for a pen. A random, weird thought went through my head — what if I went the whole day without my wallet? That would really suck. Back at school and about to make a bagel run, I reached into my bag and –OMG! Where’s my &%$## wallet? I kept hearing that it was at home. But how could that be? I thought it was in my bag. Back at home, I ran through the door to see the wallet sitting nicely, waiting for me, on the kitchen table where I must have left it when I was rummaging through my purse. That random thought was a message–Hello, don’t forget your wallet, Ronni! It’s sitting on the table. So, watch your thoughts. They may be help disguised!
