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.

Core stuff, breaking away

designingfairy2 Comments

I read in Karen’s What’s Up on Planet Earth that what we are all experiencing is the darkness right now. As we go up the ladder, higher and higher, we are bound to pass the darkness leaving all around us. Now, sometimes the negativity IS in us, wanting to leave. I, and my loved ones and friends, are feeling all of this strongly. We are all dealing with our core, deep issues. You know, the ones that push that little button that throws you back to when you were a little child. The uglies! It’s time to do some house-cleaning and clean up and get rid of that core belief that you learned that doesn’t even to begin to reflect who you are inside! Yes, we weren’t really seen for the bright stars that we were. How could we be? We were raised by folks who didn’t see or were taught to see their own shining light. We can heal this for them too. Bring that nasty belief out of the woodwork now. Unfold it and lay it out on the bed before you. Yes, it’s nasty. Yes, it hurts, but it isn’t real. It’s not a truth. And now, it’s out in the open, lying right in front of you, so it can’t hide anymore.
Feel that pain and break away from the mask you once worn that tried to hide you from this false truth, whether the mask showed up as an addiction, a stress reliever, or a compulsive obsession. Mine is..hopefully, was, work. I thought (deep down inside) that what I accomplish is ME. What I DO to please others is ME. Now I am experiencing a mini-death to my mask-self. Mask-self isn’t working. It’s not fixing the belief or making it go away. All that is left is ME. And then I have to feel the pain that I felt before I made this mask-self so I would be “Okay.” Big frickin’ OUCH. But, you know what? It wasn’t ME and will never be ME. And ME is enough. And anyone who thinks or feels ME isn’t enough, doesn’t deserve to be in my new little universe.

Gut honesty. Gut vulnerability. I showed you mine, what’s yours?

Changes

designingfairy2 Comments

Have you been going through some major changes? I’ve noticed this is my body. Lots of clearing out and healing big stuff and then lots of readjustments to my body. I’ve been very affected by all the new feminine energy coming in, as have many of my fellow healers. It’s all change, and if we can remind ourselves to not fight it all along the way, we shall be fine! And there’s been the big changes in the earth screaming out too. I am finding my usual path is to “make things happen.” We are all cocreators, aren’t we? And we need to do some kind of guided action, right? But I think some of us are better than others in allowing or receiving, and others, like myself, are better at doing and action. This has been the hardest adjustment for me to make–shift to trusting, allowing. It feels too strongly like giving up. This brings up too many fears. But gratefully, for the first time yesterday, I noticed–finally–a path appearing. Perhaps, most of what I was attempting wasn’t fully aligned, I thought. Is that possible? All these plans I had were not on path??? My friends are sighing, finally she gets it. A few doors have opened and I like this new direction. I want more! What’s helped me through these changes?

— readings for myself! Ha ha. Talking with my own Guides and helping others do the same. I find the more psychic work I do, the more balanced I feel! It’s like I am using this energy coming through to help, rather than let it build up inside of me.

— Flower essences support. Some essences that have helped greatly are: Desert Willow (to go with the flow!), Oak (for helping to shift and change while feeling supported), Scarlet Poppy (for hearing higher guidance among the noise), White Rose (to feel lifted up away from the noise), and Periwinkle (for sorting through all the information and changes happening) all available at our store.

— Talking to like-minded pals; I then feel less “crazy” when I know others are on the same path.

— Use any new abilities you are developing. They are there for a reason. They are part of your new path and role. I am finding my knowledge and abilities in medical intuition have fully blossomed!

— Don’t try to do things the way others do them or “how it’s done”. I can attest to this–it won’t work! We are grasshoppers using grasshopper energy! We make huge leaps forward in our own way. Keep that in mind.

Hang in there. We are being guided–like blind puppies in the dark! (Sorry, Lils).

(Need a reading for yourself or animals, or some essences, stop by my site. I’d be glad to help).

I ask myself

Today I see at this time I am putting most of my energy out–taking care of others, sharing my work in several ways, etc. How can I replenish and take in the energy I need?

Clear the ground

designingfairy1 Comment

Today I am feeling energetic. 🙂 I had exciting news yesterday that I may be teaching a few college art classes in the spring, and I’ve been psyched ever since! I’ve been cleaning out my closet, going through clothes, and straightening out the house. It’s a good Saturday. I am usually too busy to take care of the clearing, organizing and decluttering, much less find two socks that match, so this feels good. I didn’t realize I was receiving spiritual guidance to clean until I found a book on another blog called


  

The Seed Handbook by Lynne Franks, that interested me. Imagine my surprise when I read an excerpt from the book that said,

“Clearing the ground
Where you create the space and stretch your time to enable you to see your vision.
Before any garden can be seeded, the ground has to be prepared. The rocks and weeds need clearing, the earth has to be turned and the nutrients introduced.
Starting a business is the same way. You have to clear the clutter from your life, internally and externally.”

Frustration

designingfairy

I am feeling general frustration at the moment. I am putting out way too much energy and not seeing my needs met. I think this happens as a pattern for me. I am continually saying “why do I have to work so hard?” What to do? My gut tells me to step back for awhile. Let all that I put out to perculate for awhile. Take time to self-nurture even for a day. I am noticing many things not working out and wondering what has happened to my once amazing gift to manifest? I read in Sanaya Roman’s great book, Creating Money, that if you don’t take the time to self-nurture and tend to your own balance you may find yourself experiencing lack. This may be the case as I’ve been working so hard.  I need to talk with my Guides tonight and see what the message is, and see what is truly being appreciated and can stay, and what I need to let go of.

Negativity–someone else’s poop

designingfairy3 Comments

How do you know you’ve been exposed to negativity? You feel bad. Out and out bad. It can be your own worst thoughts, messages from childhood, other people’s poop, violence on tv, or even someone else’s aggressive behavior.  When I encounter negativity, whether the words were “well-meaning” or not, my head will hurt right in my psychic spot. If I ignore that feeling, the ache will increase. If the room is filled with negativity, my stomach may even hurt. Our bodies are instant barometers of what is good for us and what is bad. I love how simple it can be. For instance, a friend gives you a criticism. If it is a truth, it will resonate. Your body may tense for a moment, but then it will relax a bit in that truth. If it was someone else’s poopy disguised as help, this is how it will feel: BAM! OUCH! YUCK! You may even feel shame, bad, and you will lose energy like you are standing in quicksand. You’ve been just been doused with negativity, regardless of how well-meaning it was, your body knew the truth. Don’t make your self wrong–that feeling you had is right. Run away! Don’t walk to the nearest exit. Create a boundary this minute. Put up that wall.

My Guides taught me that it is perfectly okay to walk away and leave a room. My husband and I were once in a room with a doctor who was supposably helping our daughter. He began to speak pure drivel at one point and was not listening to us, lost in his own world. I remembered the Guides advice and a good friend that told me I can always leave to say I’m going to the bathroom. No one disputes that. I excused myself with that excuse in hand, and never came back! I headed straight to the car (after telling my husband what I was doing). If I stayed one more minute arguing with that man, I would have suffered. He didn’t care, he was oblivious.

It helps to know that many times it IS someone else replaying their own poop, so then you can detach and walk away. To the sensitive, you’ve usually picked up a bit anyway, so walking will help you detach and see what is yours and what isn’t. With the Nature Spirits advice, I made Pumpkin essence, which is great for clearing out others’ stuff after you’ve picked it up. This has been a God-send many times over.

And one more thing, always look for intentions. WHY is someone saying something to you? Is their intention good? To really help? Or is it so they feel superior? Like the “friend” who corrects your spelling when you share your intimate piece of poetry? (Again, that’s someone else’s poop).

Thinking out of the box

designingfairy1 Comment

Today’s reminder is to think out of the box! I hadn’t realized until recently that I naturally tend to think out of the box. I thought I was like most folks. But perhaps, I’m already a little different in my line of work. Everyday my assumptions about the world and the animals are challenged and I learn something new. I like that. Old rules don’t serve me well. I tend to just try things out without thinking of the dreaded “rules”. Some rules that start with “that’s how it’s done” “that’s how it is” and the like, always feel bad to me. Perhaps, because we are meant to break through the have-done’s and try something new! We are here as the explorers to break through barriers, start a new way when the old way doesn’t work.

We just watched a beautiful series on DVD about the Earth. At the end of the series, conservation of the animals and the planet was discussed. We’re losing animals left and right to extinction and changing the planet to global warming. Time to start thinking differently, I thought, on a global level. Not easy when our government seems to have different ideas and likes to think the same way. It’s frustrating. And on a smaller scale in my own life, I see this when I posted my online gallery exhibit. I was recently presented with a list of rules how an exhibit is done. It’s a Ronni exhibit. It has its own delicious rules. No more boxes, folks. I like to look up and see a sun on my ceiling. 🙂

Important Message about growing

designingfairy

When I talk to my dear friend Wendy, I often find myself spontaneously channeling. That happens to her also. I think when we are among like-mindeds we feel good and comfortable and naturally open up and then we hear guidance…for a change. Which leads me to my message today. I heard clearly as we are talking, that many of us are growing and being raised up–why it is hard to deal with the bad stuff, the old systems in place that don’t work, the negativity. It is only when we get caught up in that bad stuff, that we feel really bad, because that’s not where we belong. It’s almost like graduating from high school. We finally grew and learned and are ready for college. If you had to go back and repeat tenth grade, you’d feel awful! It wouldn’t work. It would feel unnaturally wrong. We are being taught a new way of being– a new way to manifest things, do things. It’s different than what many of us are used to. If we try to do things the old way, it is much like going back to tenth grade.
