Elder Williams

A true essence of faith can come from the most amazing of places. Yesterday, I received a dose of real faith… it inspired me and awakened me! I never thought I would find it where I did.

Driving around Vermont yesterday, enjoying one of the first warm and beautiful sunny days of New England spring, my friend and I stumbled upon a Historical Site we just felt guided to check out.

Both of us being extremely spiritual and opened minded decided that the birth place of Joseph Smith Jr., the prophet who iniated the rise of the Mormon Faith, was worth checking out. So we drove up to this sacred temple and historical marker hoping to just walk around the grounds and enjoy the sun.

We drove in and parked the car at 4:44 in the afternoon, we had 16 minutes to enjoy this place … according to the sign … before the grounds would close for the evening. Yet, when we got out of the car, we were greeted with the most sweet and gentle man, dressed nicely in a suit. He introduced himself to us as Elder Williams

He greeted us warmly and took his time explaining the history of the prophet and how he came to create the Book of Mormon. An interesting story it was, and one that I can honor, yet not completely understand. I was a little concerned for a moment, as he spoke about his belief, that he may become a little persuasive in bringing us to his belief system.

What struck me as he spoke though was not what he said but the amazing sound of faith in his belief. He smiled with love and his eyes teared everytime he spoke of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I knew by looking at this man, Elder Williams believed he was close to a beautiful and holy energy and he honored and held tight to that belief. I walked away from this expereince with two amazing things I did not expect.

I gained education and insight into a belief I had not explored. From a spiritual perspective, I have worked to learn and honor all beliefs for they all achieve the same outcome.

The most important thing I took away was not what you believe in, but how much faith you need to have in what you believe in. Elder Williams taught me to love my faith with complete abandon and utmost respect. I will carry this inspiration to my faith and hopefully inspire you to do the same!

Elder Williams also told us to ask God/Creator what would be best for us to believe and he will never lead us wrong. Again with beautiful tears in his eyes. It occured to me, in any situation we are unsure of our choice, we simply need to ask Creator for what is in our best to do… and he will always lead us to true faith!

Will I change my personal spiritual faith because of Elder Williams … no. But I will have stronger faith in my personal spirituality, knowing that my guides and angels are beside me always… to them my loving gratitude. I will have faith in myself, that I am my personal life prophet.

Thanks Elder Williams!

Motivation

It is beginning to kick back in as we count down the last few days of Mercury Retrograde. I am constantly hearing in my head, “Be Prepared!!” as we shift out of Reverse into 5th gear. Normally, for those of you standard drivers, that does not seem to be quite right. But that is going to be how it feels in about a week or so. Just like someone kicked us into high gear.

There will be a lot of almost crazy high energy, so please think to ground yourselves as often as you can. A few times a day if required. And keep yourself in the fore ground of your life. There are a lot of people swinging in the energy of unworthiness, you are already sensing it around you. As the weeks continue in high gear this will be mean you may leave some people in the dust.

You need to be strong in the space of worthiness. As you are!!!

Worhty of loving yourself and being supported by spirit, so see yourself as supported. Get your goals in order and get ready to motivate. With so many people swimming in unworthiness, it will be your time to get ahead…

I hear you… that is selfish… only if you don’t think you are worthy!!! Time to embrace our divine birthright while we still can!!!

Blissful Blessings

Miracles

   Tue, March 21, 2006 - 12:56 PM

It has been a few weeks of some really tough energy out there. I know that me and several of my beloveds are struggling though a lot of energy highs and energy lows. Mostly I know that mercury retrograde has a lot to do with it, and trying very hard to keep my own thoughts positively focused can be really hard, yet I keep the image of my beautiful guides and guru in my mind… somehow I keep smiling through it all…

Even in these times I am amazed at the miracles I can still seem to see popping up around me, and I keep my gratitude to spirit for bringing me motivation and success…

So to all of you out there right now who are bouncing through the really high highs and the really low lows… keep your chin up and smile!!! Mercury will be out of retrograde soon and spring is officially here. The upswing into the warm weather is about to begin.

Keep tight your connection with spirit. Pray and ask for what you need everyday, keep a dialog open with them at all times. And see the miracles happen in the midst of the deepest struggles we can be in… it is amazing!!

Spring Equinox

Only Twice a year are there equal parts sun and moon time. These are known as the Equinoxes. A day in which the sun and the moon share time in the sky. And on a beautiful day in the late afternoon you can often see both heavenly bodies in the sky at the same time. Staring at each other, almost in competition for attention. Once seemingly brighter than the other but equal in the energies they have to share.

This is also a time where God/Ra, the sun, and Mother/Goddess, the moon, radiate their energy on us at the same time. This is the best time of year to bring in the intention of balance to the grace and ease of your life. And as we head into the Spring Equinox in particular it is a good time to also bring in the intentions of what you would like to create in your life. For the days will continue to grow in light until the summer solstice, and un this time we pause on the equinox to balance, for we have been growing in light since the winter solstice. So we pause for balance. To breathe to intend for the last stretch of this increased light will be even more intense than the first half.

Our bodies are beginning to awaken from the winter blues and into the summer highs. They want to move and stretch so honor them! And your dreams are ready to expand and explore … so honor them!

Never forget to honor yourself. This journey we call life is quite a journey, and although everyone has a very unique path, no one’s journey is more difficult or easier than another. The grass is never greener on the other side. So honor the lessons of your journey alone! After all, you planned these lessons before you got here!

Since we are still in Mercury Retrograde, (see previous article) it is best to keep getting rid of anything you don’t need, and while you are cleaning house; mental, emotional, physical… get those plans moving for all the cool and exciting things you would like to bring in for the next few months. Get those creative juices flowing!!!

I wish you all the abundance you so desire and deserve in this lifetime!

Many Blessings,

Gratitude

Today I am swimming in gratitude. I am in love with the idea of love. I have been opening my heart to spirit for years now in complete trust and faith, and they have been taking good care of me.

 I write this entry as inspiration to all of you! Get connected to your guides and angels. Talk to them on a daily basis, even if you don’t feel you are being heard. Take it a step further and ask to recieve vailidation for your request. And finally, give a time frame. Don’t just toss around requests like they are nothing. Put a time frame on it. Spirit has a different clock up there than we do down here. If we don’t let them know what we are thinking… we could be waiting a really long time.

I talk to spirit a lot. In fact, so much so that people often think I am talking to myself. That is okay with me. At least I know what I am doing and that it works for me. I have gotten beyond what others think of me. Their opinions are only there to keep me limited if I let them.

But in talking to spirit a lot, I have created a relationship with creator and my angels. I can honestly say, I think we have come to a good understanding of each other. Sometimes we do not always agree. He is usually right. But I have learned that as long as I keep communication open between us, I can manifest all that I am supposed to in this life time.

I don’t believe we are on a path. I believe we are on a journey. The difference to me is a path sounds like it is set in beginning and outcome. After all a path has a beginning and and end and usually a defined way of getting from one point to another.

I believe life has a beginning and an end, but I do not think all the stuff in the middle is a must have to happen. But rather more like a journey with some detours a long the way.

A journey sounds more like an adventure. When you plan a journey there are sure to be some milestones along the way. Places to see, people to meet. But there is also room for the unexpected. The detours. The road blocks. The little things that make our lives more interesting.

 Life is a journey. We have a set destination. And we have some places along the way we would like to see and people we have to meet. But how we get there is our choice. That is where the free will comes into play.

You will always be where you need to be, Divine order makes it so. But you choose the Divine order.

So as we head through the year of 2006, which promises to be a good year of manifesting, keep the positive thoughts moving. Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Choose a path of positive manifestion. And you will be more than happy.

Always wishing you Love, Light and Blissful Laughter

Mercury Retrograde?!?

According to astrological information it starts today, actually in just a few minutes from when I post this entry, it will be in retrograde for most of March. This can mean a lot of things. The world seems to slow… communication gets a little difficult… even cell phones seem to have a crazy way of having signal problems in areas where there shouldn’t be!

 As a psychic I tend to warn my clients about these times. Mercury Retrograde is not really a good time to start projects, but rather finish them up. Clean your house. Get rid of all the clutter in your life which no longer validates you. Allow yourself to be free of the craziness we surround ourselves with on a daily and yearly basis. 

The little musical box with the ballerina that grandma gave to you when you where two years old…. you can let that go!! While letting go of the guilt you may be hurting her or someone else’s feelings. Besides, it will be less you have to dust around the house!!!

 But these next few weeks are also a time to just cleanse your soul. From the inside out. Get in touch with all the issues you have been working through. The inner spiriutal journey you have been praying for is here. It is a journey that allows you to bring in new abundance, but first you have to let go. How can you put more in your house when it is packed anyway.

The laws of abundance works in a way that when you have something you want, you must be willing to give something away. Abundance is not about being greedy, or a horder. But rather, abundance flows best when you understand that it is never ending.

 Maybe there is another two year old you can give that musical box to. And when you do, something new will come into your life and fill that void. At the same time you are sharing the abundance with others. And it soon becomes a beautiful cycle of growth and soon everyone is swimming in it!!! What a world we would have if everyone learned these simple rules.

 But don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. Pay it forward if you will!

So in the end of all this. I suppose it is a good thing to tie in all this rambling with Mercury Retrograde. This is the perfect time to clear your personal home, as well as mental, emotional and physical, and finish up and projects you may have been waiting to. And do this all in the next few weeks. Retrograde happens a few times a year. I call it the big spiritual vaccum cleaner. It is as though the heavens open up and suck all the crap out of us, but we have to be willing to let it go! Cause then the next few months are about filling in the voids with all the beautiful things in life we want to manifest.

 This I call the cycle of Abundance!!!.

I have such gratitiude for you all and love you all much

Love, Light and Blissful Laughter
