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.

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.

I’m learning joy from a puppy

designingfairy3 Comments

After some very traumatic yet fascinating experiences–I am learning so much–my goal is to regain joy. Not always an easy thing to do when you’ve been bathed in fear and grief. But somewhere underneath the weeds is the flower!

Emma Lou, our reincarnated basset hound, represents joy to me. She can’t wait to wake up in the morning and play with her toy basket, knock over each toy, explore shoes, and chase her sister around. After being in pain for the past week, I, on the otherhand, have dreaded mornings, but Emma is teaching me otherwise. You would think her day would be boring, but she is the epitomy of simplicity. And it is the simple things that give her the most joy. She loves the sun on her belly, a piece of string gives her moments of fun (I’d say hours but we are talking puppy here), and whenever she sees one of her sisters, she eggs them on to play. We had this “skill”as children, I am sure. How did many of us lose this?

When I was writing and compiling my book, The Fairy Field Guide, the Fairies and Nature Spirits had a continuous message–to bring in joy. Joy was the key to abundance, to happiness, to health. My greatest challenge has been holding on to joy in the midst of deep sadness, disappointment and even, loss of hope. I am finding that my essential nature and soul IS joyous–it’s my natural state, so I am like one big rubber band–always bouncing back to finding that joyful place.

I watched an Academy Award-winning movie on DVD yesterday, Cold Mountain. What the characters endured was the complete opposite of joy, and yet by the end of the movie, they are seen enjoying life and its bounty full-heartedly. I was amazed. After everything they had experienced, wouldn’t you have been broken, shut down from life? Perhaps by feeling the worst of this world they had a greater appreciation for what is joyful and bright. Perhaps they held onto the tiny bit of joy that was hidden in the dark? As an empath and a sensitive, it is all too easy to get lost in the dark and what I feel around me. Maybe the solution is to pull out that joy and that light–the flower– that is hidden in the dark.

You Don’t Have to do it “right”

designingfairy2 Comments

Today, just a little reminder, that you have permission to do things “wrong.”

You can think crappy, resonate at a lower vibration, not think about what you want instead of what you DO want and worry. All of it! You will have off-days. You will have times when you feel angry and are releasing stuff from the past  (that’s a good thing!) You will have days you get swept up in the fear around you (sometimes it is hard not to). You will have days filled with frustration (and who doesn’t?). You are in a human body enjoying earth school, and just like in school, you may fail a class or a test and still continue on. You are here to learn, not get everything “right.” And sometimes, there are no right’s. Sometimes, you are meant to get angry. Your anger may be just the thing to help another. So just today, cut yourself some slack.

Cleaning house & core issues 2

designingfairy

I am proud to say my blog was listed in a search under “freaky psychic.” Don’t be jealous. 🙂

Many of us I have mentioned are experiencing some heavy duty cleaning of house and in-your-face core issues coming to the surface. I’ve been experiencing a big time healing that has brought up my core issues and garbage that I’ve carried around since I was tiny! It’s been amazing and wild and I feel like, with this big healing I am in the process of rebirthing myself altogether. My Guides have been along side me all the way and my trust in them has been tested. I believe we should all test our helpers once and while, not blindly trust, and they are coming through this with flying colors. Hang on to all of my blog friends if your core stuff is coming to the surface. It’s time to finally clean house so we can leave it behind. We are being offered now assistance to finally have understanding behind those issues so we can soar higher. More later…

Grabbing for Gratitude

designingfairy2 Comments

I’m down today. I miss my beagle. Things are dying off in my life and changing and it hasn’t been easy. I’m changing, growing. Come the end of the year, some things I will let go of-business and focus-wise. The doors that are opening are all involving moving into the role of teacher, which suits me fine. It’s time to teach about healing with nature, healing ourselves and our animals, and working with Spirit.

When our moods suck it is always good to grab for some gratitude, I am reminded. So, here goes.

I am grateful for:

1. Lilibeth is no longer in any pain. She can be with Jake, run on grass, and see. I know her spirit lives on. I’ve seen and felt it.

2. The wonderful friends I’ve made in the blogging world who have lent their support and good wishes. I went into creating my design blog for the purpose of making sales. Silly me. What it has become is a place for deep support.

3. My husband and I celebrate our 18th anniversary tomorrow. I am grateful we are still married in spite of how hard life has been in the past few years. We haven’t killed each other, which is a good thing, and we still love each other. I honestly couldn’t have made it this far without him.

4. I grateful for Emma Lou, our reincarnated dog, for Foxy Cleopatra, our angel dog, for Sarah our barking dog, and even Jessica, our 2-legged, who drives me crazy. Everyone stay put for awhile please. 🙂

5. My wonderful close friends, who have gone way beyond my expectations, even when they were going through their own awful stuff, they were there for me.

6. I was able to pay the electric bill and have food, & put gas in the car. Woo-hoo!

7. I am grateful for that glimpse of the bigger me, that feeling that is “all there is”, although I don’t know yet how to integrate that new vision into who I am or who I am becoming. Thank you to my spirit helpers who help me even though I can be a major pain in the ass.

8. A big thanks to all the students I’ve had through the year, who have been willing and excited to learn the information I had to pass along.

When we write our gratitude lists, it is amazing that our values and what is important to us make themselves quite clear.

The Plot thickens

designingfairy

In the past few months, during all the crazy clearings, several times I’ve been what I thought downloaded with a diamond symbol. I am beginning to think I’ve been travelling to work with this new symbol, which brings with it a new energy. I know that Lils’ leaving coincided with this new portal that opened and this door that opened. I have felt the energy that is coming through and it is beautiful!

If you talked to me years ago, none of this would have made sense. I am a scientist–I need to see it to understand it. I’ve seen the diamond several times in visions and recorded it into my notebooks, not having a clue what I was seeing. My Guides said this symbol would help with rebuilding in a better way. What wonderful validation to scout the web today and learn that the 11:11 portal opens up this new grid of energy that is basically the new feminine energy that is trying to balance out all this war-mongering-aggressive crazy male energy we’ve experienced! It’s not our imagination, all though it is all trippy, isn’t it? Haven’t you felt more of that feminine energy to just be, not push? To move into self care. To grow into your new self? It’s all part of this amazing process.
Here’s a link I found this morning regarding the diamond energy:
