December 2012 Inspirational Message

From My December 2012 Newsletter.

Happy December & Happy holidays to all of you. It is such an important and magical time on our planet right now. Shifts keep occurring day after day helping us all to open up our hearts more and lead us into a positive direction. You may be feeling a little odd lately to say the least. You may have had some really intense emotions the past few months and intense experiences. It may be a bit challenging. Some days you may be overwhelmed with sorrow and need to cry or feeling other emotions we may not care much for.

Things are coming up to the surface, old issues and emotions that need to be dealt with and finalized in your life. Running from them will only make the challenge more difficult. Go through these processes and work with the emotions and soon you will experience more opening in your heart and direction in your life. Beforehand, maybe now, you may be feeling a sense of being lost or in a fog. A feeling you need to get to a certain point but unclear as to what steps to take to get there. It seems that most of us are in this fog.

As December 21, 2012 approaches in a few weeks the shifts in energy and consciousness will strengthen. Come December 22 another huge shift could occur in your life if you choose for this to happen. We should all decide where we would like to see our lives this time next year. Where do you need to be, being realistic of course, in order to reach your blissful place? You most likely may need to clear things to get to that point. Change is good and always leads to positive. Get a good picture in your mind as to where you want to be before December 21, 2012 comes. Awaken before sunrise on December 21 and sit in short meditation visualizing yourself in that blissful place while sending love and gratitude to the universe.

December 21 will be the most powerful time ever to put your intentions out to the universe. At the same time we must send love to our planet, the waters, the land, the mountains and so on. It is important that we all do this on this special day so together we can help heal the planet and manifest our dreams and soon reach that blissful point. Do not let your fear or ego get get in the way. It has been doing so for too long now. The world in not going to end, but it sure is going to change on a major scale. It will not all happen at once but slowly over the next decade. Now is a time for us to open our hearts and focus on love and gratitude so that together we can all live in peace. It is going to happen in most of our lifetimes, so prepare. It shall be exciting.

You may also prepare yourself by focusing on your own spirituality and building a relationship with your Angels, guides, deceased loved ones and ancestors. Doing so will be so beneficial to you life and your direction. If your direction is a little unclear and you feel you need to change then you absolutely need to do this. Trust in your heart and ask your guides for any help you need and it will come.Spirit works in amazing ways. I see miracles all around me each and every day that I feel so honored and grateful to be a part of it.

I'm also so honored and grateful to all of you for your love and support over the years. I send you and all your loved ones here and in spirit so much love & gratitude. I hope you have an amazing holidays and prepare yourselves for amazing 2013. It is up to all of you on an individual basis as to how amazing the next year will be for you. Remember, we all have the ability to manifest things into our lives. Our thoughts are our future. Take advantage of December 21 this year and you will be glad you did. I wish you all the best and hope to see some of you on the cruise.Be well and take care of yourself, those you love & especially those who love you.
With Love, Light & Desire To Inspire.

September Inspirational Message

From my September Newsletter

September Inspirational Message

Well the dog days of summer are falling behind us now and the Autumn season is closing in quickly. I can hardly believe we are already in September. It has been quite the year for change and for re-adjustment to our new lives. 2012 has been one of the biggest years of change I have ever experienced. It has been crazy and I believe it will continue to be a bit crazy throughout September and October.

If you find yourself living the same daily patterns, feeling down and not in your happy place. Well now is the time and 2012 is the year for you to break your routine & habits, do the things you always wanted to do and begin to pay more attention to both your mind, body and Spirit. You have heard me say consistently that our planet is enduring a huge shift like never before. Things are going on now energy wise that have not occurred in more then 3000 years on our planet. Now is the time for all of us to come together as one, help ourselves and help others.

If you are not happy then you need to find your happy blissful place. Nobody can do it for you. Only you can do it with the guidance of your angels or guides. All you need to do is listen with your hearts and not your minds. We all have the ability to find our happy blissful place in life. To get up every day with excitement for the new things and new opportunities. Bliss is a place that is within reach for all of us. We all have the power to manifest the things that we want as long as it is for the good of all and all good things.

More then anything you are the one in control of your own life. Yes we will all face challenges and sometimes wonder what we could have done to deserve such misery. Challenges are all part of the reason we are here and contracts we had taken out before coming here.It is not always that you did something wrong or it was your fault. Sometimes we end up blaming ourselves for things others force on us. Nobody can bring you down unless you allow them to.

Recently I had been forced out of a seven year relationship with my partner, who I loved and still love dearly. It was not my choice and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever dealt with in my life. Definitely the most difficult challenge thus far in this lifetime. Although I do know there will be more challenges to come in this lifetime. At first I did blame myself and thank goodness I am surrounded by amazing healers and friends who have helped me, along with spirit, in unimaginable ways. For that alone I owe them all the love in my heart.

The universe and afterlife is so complex and made up or so many different layers or levels. I have come to realize that there were so many complex reasons that it was time for this relationship to end. Both physical & spiritual reasons. I went through so many emotional layers beginning with hurt and sadness leading into anger and self punishment. All of this only to help me grow spiritually shedding away layers of negative energy at the same time. I am so grateful for my spiritual path and have come to realize that I caused the same pain and suffering to my partner in a past life. Sure I'm still hurt and sometimes feel alone, but knowing this alone has helped me on so many levels.

We all must come to understand that again it is not always our fault for anything. We learn from our own mistakes and even the mistakes others make that hurt us so deeply. We still learn and grow. Some challenges can be made up from past life karma and soul-contracts, or agreements, we made with other souls prior to this lifetime. We are not meant to live the same daily patterns that we have become so use too. Every experience, every emotion, every relationship and even the mistakes we make are all part of the divines plan. The Universal plan. Very often Spirit will clear a path for you to help you get where you need to go. If there is something or someone that is blocking you from doing what you are meant to do then Spirit will clear it away.

Most often we know what we need to do or are suppose to do but we fight our own gut intuition. We become comfortable in our lives and become afraid of change. But change is always good. I have learned so much in the past 6 weeks alone about relationships and our existence on this planet. In the 6 weeks that my relationship has ended and the emotional layers I experienced have helped me to become a better person. A humble person who now lives every day and every breath with love and gratitude. All we need to do is focus on love and gratitude for the wonderful things life has to offer and all of that comes back ten times over.

You may be putting that love & gratitude out there to the universe and are not feeling as if it is helping. Some things take time and focus. We also may need to make changes in our relationships and daily routines first. If you are not in that blissful place that you so deserve then now is the time to focus and make that change. You can do it! There is nothing to fear for once you take a stand for yourself and your life the flow will begin.

I truly hope that by sharing my stories, experiences and gifts with you that it helps to lead you to your blissful place. I love you all and hold love and gratitude for each and every one of you. I wish you all the very best. Take care of yourself and those who love you dearly.
With Love, Light & Desire To Inspire.

May Inspirational Message

MAY INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE

 Feeling a little stuck? Feel like you are suppose to flow in a direction but can not seem to flow? Do you feel like you have been trying so hard and still nothing changes? Still feel like life is a constant struggle? Then you are feeling much like most of us on the planet.
 
The energy is very heavy right now due to the shift that our planet is experiencing throughout 2012. This shift has not occurred in more then 2000 years. And it will not all shift all at one time. There will be slow and sudden turns, or shifts, we will all experience throughout 2012. Right now we are kind of in the in-between stage. Right before another slight shift occurs. Until that slight shift comes we are all pretty much in the same boat, feeling very stuck.

This feeling we are all experiencing of being stuck is not really at all due to anything we are doing or not doing. Do not let this phase throw you off course, as I see it doing to many. Do not lose your faith and be sure to continue daily with living positive and focusing on love. I know it may be hard at times but it is all a part of our spiritual growth. Patience is something that will be tested throughout our lives and always right before a shift in our lives takes place.

The month of May is going to start off just as the past month has left off. We will still continue to feel a bit stuck for at least the first few weeks of May. If possible try to take time to get away. A weekend get away will help to get your mind off things for a bit. Something we all need from time to time is some time away. As well as all needing to take time for ourselves to take care of ourselves. Those of you who do not take care of yourself, especially if your always taking care of others, will end up being forced to take a break. You do not want this to happen.

By the third week of May into the first few weeks of June the little shift we have been holding on for will finally take a small turn. Then we should all begin to feel things begin to flow little by little. 2012 is a little tricky in the fact that we can expect both slow little partial changes as well as some very sudden abrupt changes. Just go with the flow and keep you eyes open for any signs or opportunities.

The end of May into June can be a good time for opportunities to begin to come our way. Be sure to truly consider these opportunities for I believe spirit would not send us an opportunity if spirit did not want us to take it. Now if your sitting waiting for something to happen now is a time to think hard on what it is exactly you expect to happen? What is it that your really want? What makes you happy? What can you do on a daily basis that makes you happy?

At the same time consider what you are doing to help others in the process. What we put out comes back. If you do not feel love then it is most likely that you may not be putting enough love out. If there is something you want or somewhere you want to be then now is the best time for us to make these decisions. Now is also the most powerful time to manifest things into our lives and bring positive change. But it is completely up to you.

Figure out what it is that you want that makes you happy. Take five minutes out of each day to sit and focus on where it is exactly that you want to be. Sit, breath and relax while visualizing what it is you want to manifest, be realistic. Once you do this you are putting it out into the universe and asking the universe for this. When we ask the universe we must thank the universe and put love out into the universe. So simply visualize someone, somewhere or something you truly love right after you visualize what you want to manifest and you then put love out to the universe.

We must do this daily while also having constant gratification for the things we have in our lives each and every day. When things come to us we should always thank the universe and put love out to the universe. Gratification is one of the most important factors. This all can help you greatly. You just must have patience, continue having faith and never give up. Remember also when facing negative people, places or things or even negative thoughts or words just do your best to  focus on love again by thinking of someone or something your love deeply. That will over-ride the negative.

Remember your guides or guardian angels are also there to help. Pay attention to the things that come to you out of nowhere. The thoughts that come to you out of the blue. Very often this is your guides and not just your own thinking. They are there to help guide you we just need to stop, ask and listen.

Overall the month of May should be a fairly positive one for everyone. It is also a great time for us to do a little more cleaning up of the clutter. Clean up emotion and physical clutter. Start with cleaning out the closets of winter clutter. Consider reaching out to mend a broken relationship with a family member or friend. Sometimes we need to be responsible for our own mistakes. This too is important to our growth. Cleaning a little clutter always helps to open new doors.

Take some time in May to get outside and become closer to mother nature and mother earth. Think about taking some time to plant some flowers or better yet some vegetables. If you do not have a yard consider getting some big pots or even a bucket to plant some fresh tomatoes. Nothing like your own freshly picked vegetables. It is much healthier and helps us become closer to nature. Becoming closer to nature will also help us to open up more both intuitively and spiritually.

I wish you all the best on your journey and thank you for taking time to read my message and newsletter. Hope you have a wonderful month. I feel absolutely honored to be able to share my gift with you.Remember to hang in there and never give up. You have a team of guardian angels and deceased loved ones behind you cheering you on. They never judge us and are always there when we need them. Until the next time take care your yourself and those you love.

Mercury Retrograde March 12th to April 4th

From My March 2012 Newsletter

The Mercury retrograde is here again! March 12th until April 4, 2012. For some it is a time to just run and hide, but for others we can take advantage of this time and use the Mercury retrograde to our own advantages. as with everything in our world there is a positive and negative to all things. And again it is up to us to find the positive and negatives of this retrograde and balanced them into our lives.


Let us start by describing the negatives of the Mercury retrograde before I go into the positives. One of the most annoying things about the Mercury retrograde is the major delays that it may cause. When there is a retrograde you can always count on some kind of delay or some kind of interference that could screw things up for the entire day. So, on the positive side, we can always plan ahead during the retrograde knowing in the back of our minds that there will be most likely some type of delay ahead of us. Doing so will help us with being on time for work and other things during Mercury retrograde. So you can expect delays at the airport, delays on the road and waiting for loan approvals and anything with paper work and so forth.


Another thing that the retrograde has a large negative impact on are things that are motorized or electronic. You'll notice anything that is motorized or electronic will go haywire during the Mercury retrograde. Last retrograde our dryer died and a few retrogrades ago I had to replace the refrigerator in our kitchen and the retrograde before that we had to replace our washing machine. To top it off about four retrogrades ago I had to replace my laptop computer.


So the Mercury retrograde is not at all a good time to buy anything new that is motorized or electronic. For most likely you'll end up standing in line to take it back due to some kind of mechanical issue. Unless you are stuck buying one because yours died during the retrograde like with our washer, dryer and refrigerator. We're better off waiting until after the retrograde before purchasing any type of new motorized or electronic devices. You also notice that very often during the retrograde your service engine or check engine light on your vehicle may light up. usually a sure sign that your vehicle needs to be taken in for repair. If you are forced to take your vehicle in for repair during the retrograde expect some delays and also be very prepared to take it back again because the mechanic didn't fully correct the problem. So whenever possible we should wait until after the retrograde to purchase or fix any motorized or electronic devices.


It is not necessarily just electronic or motorized devices that may give us issues during the Mercury retrograde. Just about anything that can break may do exactly that during a Mercury Retrograde.If I remember correctly the last retrograde our kitchen sink began to leak and needed to be fixed. So just prepare yourself and try not to fix things unless you really have to during the Mercury retrograde.


We are very lucky that this Mercury retrograde is much shorter than the typical retrograde. This retrograde began on March 12 and will last until April 4, 2012. That's less than a month and am very happy about that. And even though the retrograde is in a really at all a good time to start something new like a job, career, buy a new car, or a new house or even start a new business. Usually if we do these things during a Mercury retrograde they don't end up lasting at all. But what it is good time for is to pick up things that you have not finished in the past and finish them. It is a great time to clean up the clutter in our home and end things in our lives. A perfect time to clean up the house, paint the kitchen or living room and promote positive change throughout our environment. It is also a good time to do a smudging ceremony to cleanse the energy from our homes or office. You can find out more information on how to do a smudging ceremony on my blog.


There are other negatives and positives to the Mercury retrograde and I encourage you my reader to explore this more on the Internet. Take advantage of this time the best you can and whatever you do try your best not to let the retrograde get the best of you and make you frustrated. From this point forward it is all up to you. And remember one last thing that is very important. We can usually feel the effects of a Mercury retrograde, much like the effects of a full moon, at least three days before the retrograde begins in three days after it ends. I hope this article has helped you in dealing with this last retrograde up 2011. I wish you all the best.

With love, light and desire to inspire
