2017 Year of Atonement

 

As we come to the close of 2016 the Year of Truths, we have all grown a little, lost a little , changed a little, perhaps some became a little disillusioned with it all… as the struggle to cut through to the heart of the matter rocked our worlds privately, within our communities, or country and yes even globally. We had the “Rose Colored Glasses” taken off and we were told to see things for what they were and are. Some of it was mighty ugly, some of it was self placed fear that as individuals we created instead of dealing with something in our lives… only to allow it to grow into something that was larger than life (or so we thought in our own minds anyway). Other things brought happiness, love and joy back into our lives. All in All we saw, did or experienced what was needed to move forward on our paths.

So What is 2017 about… well I was awoken and shown many things to come a few weeks back. Some of it was dark then balanced with the lightness that people can create…But all of it was about “ATONEMENT” a powerful word that people are sometimes very uncomfortable with being on either end of it… the giver or the receiver.

The dictionaries definition is as follows;
atonement
noun atone•ment \ə-ˈtōn-mənt\
Christian Science : the exemplifying of human oneness with God
1 : the return to a state of love and harmony between God and human beings
2 : something that makes up for an offense or injury

Well the world is full of that for sure. Atonement… is needed.

So now understand that when I was shown 2017 I was also told it was a “Year 1” in the cycle of numerology, I was like okay duh Greek to me…. since I am not a person that knows anything about numerology, so simply I asked Spirit to explain that to me, this is what was shared.

Year 1 is the beginning of a new nine year cycle. It holds the promise of anything is possible and we can create a new world vision. How we each then choose to move forward with that is up to each individual and how they imprint on the world around them. We can step into negativity, chaos and darkness or we can be a pathfinder, a Rainbow Warrior and light the way to a better life for ourselves and others that have the courage to believe change for the good can occur.

So with that in mind, just think of the possibilities, think of the change that can occur… and more important think of the healing and positive growth we can achieve. We are the Masters of our own Destiny’s yet we do not often live our lives this way. We bitch and complain and point fingers at everyone and everything that is wrong or affecting us in negatives. Yet the Truth of it all, is we hold the key, we are the writers of the stories, our stories … so if you want to choose to stand in the crap and chaos the world has out there the credit for it all lies at your doorstep and no one else’s. yup so how was that for “Truth”, knocks a person for a loop if we stop and think about for a minute it yes?

Now to the “Atonement” part, yup everything has work even though we as humans always want to take the easy route to fix things, but reaching a positive goal, a wonderful outcome, a great relationship, a fulfilling life is not easy… it is work. That is why we are here as humans, to experience that. So take time to mend the fences with people, work at your relationships…be in them and grow with them. Take time to heal self physically, emotionally, spiritually… help to care for the Great Earth Mother and all the life she shares with us from the “Winged Ones”, the “Four Leggeds”, the Plant People, Rock People, Swimmers, Crawlers, with the Elementals that feed our bodies and souls… Take the time to appreciate All that is Sacred. Learn to Honor it, care for it… be responsible for it.

Plant new things… whether it is seed of positive thought, or a seedling that will one day grow into a mighty tree that will once again fill our forests and lands. It is up to us all, each and every one of us to make the world a better place, to make changes needed to erase the bad things. We need to stop pointing fingers and put the energy instead into solutions that will create safer and healthier environments. It is time to stand up for what should be… setting all barriers down of color, race, religion, governments… it is time to find “Compassion” and “Humanity” again. To return to the Teachings of our Ancestors, the foundations of all life… Truth, Humility, Respect, Courage, Wisdom, Love and Honesty. If only, If only we could do that, if only we could remember the right way it is to be Human once again.

So my Prayers for you All today as I ask you to join in are simple….

For all the family and friends on and for all those who are beginning to awaken…allow them to do so with goodness and ease. Help to bring about the repairs and healings needed for relationships, families and people to become whole again.

For all our “Four leggeds”, “Creatures of the Waters”, and “Winged Ones” and All Creatures large and small that need healing… For our “Plant People” and Environment

For the Hungry, the Homeless, the Elderly that are alone, for the lost and searching, for the victims, for the lonely and depressed, for all those that are in need of, fill them with what it is they are in need of in abundance today and all days to come.

I call to the sacred winds…to carry my words
To the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of the North, the south, the east, the west, Above …below and within…

I call to the sacred winds to carry my words to the Winged ones…the Four Leggeds…the Plant People…the Crystal Keepers, the Thunder Beings, the Angelic Realm…Mother Mary and Magdalene…my Brother Christ and all the nations that love us.

I thank you for all the many blessings that you have shared with us today and beyond and I ask that you hear our prayers whether spoken our held silently within our hearts.

Today I ask that you hear our prayers as we stand humbly before you, small and human.
Help us to remember we are all but a tiny part of a great universe, that we are all connected as one…

Bring us the strength we need to walk our paths without ego or judgment…
Allow our hearts to hear what our ears are missing
Teach us how to allow forgiveness for others and ourselves
Fill our being with the unconditional love that you so freely offer all.
I call that we be reminded we are all no better than or less than one another.

Guide us through our days, to help us with our humanness…that we learn to reconnect with others in a gentle and positive way. Offering smiles when they are needed without thought, shoulders or ears to help ease another…and words that will uplift or soothe.

Keep our children safe and strong in this troubled world… I ask that on this day and days to come…guidance is shared with our children to help them as they walk their paths. Help open their eyes so they can learn and see the right way of things, teach them to respect all life no matter how small, open their ears and minds so that they may understand things that are being taught to them in a good and gentle manner…open their hearts so that when the harshness of the world falls at their feet, they can cope and handle it with compassion and understanding.

I ask that today and all days to come….that we all begin today by feeding our souls. That we take this moment and those to come to fill it with love, understanding, acceptance, calm, joy, and the knowledge that lies deep within. That we use it to find peace for ourselves and peace among the people. That we begin to Atone for all that is needed to once again bring about balance, in ourselves and in the world around us.

With gentleness and peace I thank all those that have heard our prayers and walk with us…I honor you…aho

 

 

So I leave these words shared by “Spirit” with you all in hopes that they reach all those that needed to hear. I send it with a great love to you all from my soul to yours. May this upcoming year be filled with many blessings and healing for you all

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day – Grandmother Spider


Today Grandmother Spider steps in, telling us all to be cognitive of what we weave in our lives … make sure that things are clear and with purpose towards the positives we need to keep our Sacred Hoops balanced. Make sure that the threads of connections to the people in our lives are healthy ones that reinforce good things, things that share love and joy, reinforcing and making our hoops stronger. Make sure to not reinforce the negatives of others and that of the world we live in. Seek ways to influence these things in positive manners in order to enable change for the better of self and others. Simply pointing out what is wrong and not providing options for improvement or repair, is not walking on a path that will lead the way for others to walk with integrity and for the highest good.

Spider teaches us about hard work, creativity and releasing ourselves from what binds us. They show us that we are the creators of our own life, our own Sacred Hoops and that like the Spider we too spin intricate webs in our life stories. So as the Spider is a masterful weaver of its web, we too must become masters of weaving strong paths in our own lives.

Spider also whispers to each of us to be careful not to get caught in the webs of shadow, greed, and negativity. When this occurs it is time to release and begin anew. Do not stay trapped, for you are in charge of your own reality, it is up to you to take charge and move in the right direction. That we must create our own path in life, and learn to be a part of the whole as we walk the human, for all things are connected, we are all one.

“The webs of our lives are all connected to the web of all that is,” Grandmother Spider shares with us, “Our individual webs are made up of stories, beliefs and our emotions that make their way out to the universe. Listen to the word “story” for to store within ourselves is a function of the story. If we believe the stories we tell ourselves our very core within our souls will vibrate in that belief and create your web from that vibration. The Universe will support our stories, just to prove to us that we are creators. So step wisely, spin positives, and create a strong Sacred Hoop”

So, the question today is simple, what have we decided to create? “Some human stories have served you,” Grandmother Spider shares, “and others have not. It is now time to clear your webs of those stories that have not. When you do so, you make space for new stories ones that will reflect your true nature, your soul’s light and your connection to all that is.

Spiritual and Totem Insights of the Day – Praying Mantis


Today the praying mantis shows itself to me and speaks of how Humanity has lost its way, but to take a breath and understand we can find it again if we will step into Integrity, Honor, Respect, Love and the Unconditional Acceptance of things and people that are different from us. It is time we set aside petty differences and come together within our similarities. We all have family and people we care about, that care about us. We all have things in our lives that matter to each of us. We ALL have stories to tell and share… stories that are good, bad, indifferent but that can teach each other lessons of acceptance, tolerance and how to stand together again as humans… in other words how to find our Humanity.

Praying Mantis shares that we have gotten lost in the daily activity and chaos of our own lives. That we have forgotten to listen to our own voice. With that said it is time to take a step back and breathe in the 7 Sacred breathes. Reground, replenish what we have given away to this moment. Possibly do some simple meditation to recenter ourselves and remember our true self, our true path. Take a moment and breathe, look at all that is Sacred around us. the beauty of even the simplest thing or thought. Time to contemplate before stepping back into life. By doing this you will rekindle the purpose and meaning that are needed at this time.

Praying Mantis teaches us to return to the core of who we are born as. To step on our path with thoughtful placement of how we will imprint ourselves into the world around us. To carefully consider how we will move forward in positives and be prepared to step quickly and decisively when we need to. It is time to listen to our intuition, do not push it away it has guided you through your life sometimes without us realizing. Trust what you are sensing, what you are feeling and move or stand accordingly to that inner voice.

Spiritual and Totem Insights for the Day December 13, 2016 the Clown Fish


Powerful message today relates to coexisting, something that we all as human struggle with each and every day! So why is it so difficult for some of us… well perhaps because EGO steps into place when it is not needed or called for. So many are stepping into roles of judging others, placing blame and pointing fingers, when seriously we all should be back in our own lives cleaning and straightening out our own homes. Time to clean our spiritual selves and bring them all back to balance! After all who are we to judge others? Who are we to say we are better than and they are less than? Who are we but human with our own faults, fears and insecurities? Perhaps that is why the Clown Fish and Anemone have shown up this morning…. to share with us the lessons of coexistence and working together for positives!

The Clown Fish and Anemone fish share their spiritual guidance with us to assist us in finding and understanding wisdom, knowledge and teachings that can will help us to overcome the challenges that we face in life. The Sea Anemone is known as the flower of the ocean, yet has deadly thorns, yet the Clown fish fearlessly takes refuge within her grasp. Bright and vibrant in appearance the Clown Fish is widely known for its bright orange/yellow coloration and bright white stripes. Together they are a formidable pair with the use of beauty as camouflage they teach us the ability to hide within dangerous situations and to move carefully through our lives.

They teach us that things can appear as one thing and be something totally different. Do not be quick to jump to assuming the worst and make sure to watch for hidden obstacles and dangers as you tread through a given situation. They assist us with keeping safe from negativity. None of us are danger proof. All of us are prone to encounter difficult situations that we should/could avoid. Sometimes it is better to move to a safe position than directly confronting something. It doesn’t show weakness, quite the opposite it shows strength of character and wisdom.

A Visit from a Winged One, a Feather and the Gift of Spirit…with bear Medicinewalker

a-visit-from-a-winged-one-a-feather-and-the-gift-of-spiritwith-bear-medicinewalker
So I am guided to share a day in the life of bear with you all this day, in hopes that it will give you the Faith you may need to be open to the amazing possibilities that the Universe offers us if we are aware and awake to receive it.

As I walked out to the back of my home, the lake side to sort of take in one of the last days of fall, my senses were filled. Imagine in your minds eye, beautiful ducks of all sorts and colors stopped in here to refuel their migration trip, quacking and murmuring on the water, a slight breeze filled with the smells of a nearby campfire, and the warm the of Grandfather Sun on my face…. I hear a whoosh of air and rustling of branches and look above, there not 8 feet from me sits my beautiful Brother Eagle, looking down at me with a glance that reminds me to pay attention. He and I grace each others company for a short while and then he lifts his wings to take flight off to catch his evening meal. As he does so he glances down at me one last time and drops a feather. As it dances on the air down to my feet in front of me, I can feel the energy and power of that moment. Patience is rewarded, the work is known, the unconditional love is around us all. Blessed and humbled I went inside.

A little while later, pictures I had not seen in years, quite frankly I did not even know I had fell out of a box I was moving in order to reach a Christmas gift I had tucked away in a corner shelf. When I saw them they made me flash to a time of days long gone, they were of my Grandmother and Grandfather, my Mom with all her best friends that she grew up with, my Aunts not by blood but rather by bond. I smiled as I could hear their voices all laughing and felt warm hugs telling me they were all but a blink away, comfort given and received gratefully.

I needed to run out on an errand to the store for I had forgotten some things earlier in the day that I needed to make some soup my daughter had asked me to make for her when she came home to visit, so I headed out the door and began the short drive into town. As I did I passed a house in the neighborhood that is filled with kids and two sometimes three adult woman at a time. Their yard is filled with what they consider disposable life that recycles every month usually at least twice, this includes chairs, mattresses and couches. The kids range in age from diaper age to around twelve. The house is maybe 500 square feet and I am sure they are stacked like cord wood inside at night. I have only caught a glimpse at the inside and by most standards it is definitely a rough way to live. Men come on weekends and the kids come out running and hugging nothing but love to share. The women are loving but strict, keeping the kids in tow. The oldest children watch out for the smallest, and all for the most part are respectful. Is this an ideal way to live, probably not. It is a nomadic way of life for sure, yet the kids all are fed, kept warm and attend school. It is how they choose to live.

They have been here in the area for almost 2 years now. I have often thought of calling child services, but what would it change? They would move elsewhere and continue living the same way. Is it my way of life? No for sure wouldn’t choose it, but who am I to judge? It is called tolerance, and as I wrestled with the conversation in my head again, I could hear my Grandmother, Mom and Aunts say let it be, because they live differently does not mean it is wrong. Learn tolerance, thus a second blessing of the day.

As I was heading back home from my errand I decided to stop in at Tim Horton’s for a cappuccino, just felt like it. As I walked in to my right was two tables of elderly women all laughing and enjoying coffee and a small bite to eat. As I looked I could see all the strong women of my past standing and sitting with them, showing me they are all but a short distance away. Telling me they are never too far to assist me, support me, send me love. I became a little emotional but was told to share a message of love with them. I cleared my throat and walked over to the table. They all looked up, I smiled, excused myself and began telling them about the strong women in my life, that they reminded me of them and I was so glad to see them gathering and enjoying each others company. They laughed and told me they had known each other for years, the youngest being 78 and the oldest was 83 years young. I wished them well, blessings of the holiday and as I turned to leave two of them rose from their chairs and said wait… I think we need to give you a hug from the other side….

So, if you ever doubt that “Spirit” can see us, that they can effect and interact with us, if nothing else this is a lesson of the things that are possible if we are open to what the Universe and “Spirit” want to share with us all.

Many Blessings to you all, and with love from my heart to yours…

Pledge of Allegiance… Wow, so powerful stuff one would think yes?

american-flag-header-2

The Pledge of Allegiance
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

Defined and explained in Dictionaries and Encyclopedia’s as;

The Pledge of Allegiance of the United States is an expression of allegiance to the Flag of the United States and the republic of the United States of America, originally composed by Colonel George Balch in 1887, later revised by Francis Bellamy in 1892 and formally adopted by Congress as the pledge in 1942.

The official name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945. The last change in language came on Flag Day 1954 when the words “under God” were added

Wow, so powerful stuff one would think yes? Well perhaps it was when it was originally written in 1892… or later when they changed the wording to the Flag of the United States… or even later as they added one nation under God in 1954… but today in 2016? Seriously how many children know it, can recite it…for that matter how many young adults can recite it or understand it? Myself I think that the forefathers of this country would become physically ill if they could have seen through a time machine to what devastation, racism, violence and hatred that has bred in this country … in our society since the days this was originally penned.

People spitting, setting fire to and desecrating the flag. The Republic for which it stands is looking more and more like a really bad reality show to other countries all over the world each and every moment as we parade out the political dirty laundry every second of every day. Cop Killers hiding behind the Constitution and their Civil Rights attempting to justify their violence. Bad Cops taking it out on people of Color and People of Color taking it out on ALL cops for the ones that are bad. People of race declaring they are better than, people of all color then setting out to prove they matter more than the other colors. Yet the one thing we forget is we are all related and the common factor that sets it all aside is we are all human… part of humanity, even though it is a Humanity that needs to be remembered and healed.

People in general are not taking responsibility for their own crap, their own lives. If you want change to occur stand up and move it in the right direction. If you live in a cycle, break the cycle. Ask for assistance if you can not do it on your own. Don’t voice that you can not …Voice that you Can and Will. There are people in the world that will and can help you; you just have to get your mind set to do it or to ask.

I know that life can truly suck at times, there is pain, there is despair, and there is poverty, violence, hatred, bullying and racism. But for all of that there is also something positive to balance it. There is Love, Humanity, Friendship and people who know how to look beyond the color of one’s skin.

Greed and Power have taken a mainstay over Love and Family…how is this possible, how is it that we have become a humanity that cares more about the next new phone that is available than the respect and strong foundations we should be providing our children our young people? Instead we have greed driving lawsuits, making everything a legal matter and placing it in a justice system that protects the guilty and sentences the victims.
All based on technicalities…

To me and many the systems are broken…so how do we go about repairing and healing it? One person at a time… by understanding everyone has different perspective… by opening our eyes and listening to the Creatures that have been her teaching lessons that fall on deaf ears… by embracing our “Humanity” again… by being Neighbors again… by learning respect again… by empowering our Children again… by learning to Love again….

I pray every second of every day, that I will believe that pledge that I worked so hard to learn as a child so long ago… I pray every second that others will also do the same and stand proud with me once again in a Nation that has so much potential if we would all work together instead of causing so much pain, so many rifts and fractures to each other as humans. Pledging allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, and that in doing so we are truly a strong nation with liberty and justice for all…
