New Choices, New Challanges

It has been10 days since I have posted a new article. Trust me, those days were spent in active contemplation, review and rethinking.
What started the whole process was the "win" I wrote about in the last post. I had simply written down the specifications of a home for myself and my classes on Whidbey Island, WA.
Six weeks later..... there it was and more!

One hitch.... I had not written that it had to be funded.
I am thankful for some excellent counselors/friends/daughters who could listen to the entire adventure and then suggest questions.

"What if you stayed where you are?"
"Is there another way to experience what you are visioning?"
"Is there another step that ought to come before the move?"
"Is what you have to offer unique enough to have value?"
"Are there individuals interested in learning and/or applying what you have to share?"

And on and on... including the question I had for myself,
"What about my communications with the real estate agent gave the solid impression that I was ready to act instantly?"
"Would it serve me to sharpen up my communication skills?"
"Why do I think I have to do everything alone?"
"Do I?"
"Why am I not thinking of retiring rather than starting an entire expanded career?"

So you see, my time has been a bit busy with the process. Thank goodness I had the time!

I really acknowledge that I declared what I wanted and the greater Good of our Divine Family worked to get it to me. A BIG Thanks! was due them.

And then it was back to the drawing board to add reality to the mix. First step, design the curriculum that I want to offer. I noticed my reluctance to pull out all of the plugs and speak boldly about what I have to share. So, I am in what I have termed a "Crisis Awareness Walk". That means that I am moving up enough levels that there are hidden issues and patterns coming up very regularly. It has been many years since I have worked several hours a week on my own personal sabotage. That only happens when major changes are happening.

So it is for me right now. It is for this very purpose that I have done the spiritual research over the past 20+ years and created the processes in the journey. Without intense and consistent attention to what is screaming at me to "Stop!", I will not get to the expanded place I want to be.

The same is true for everyone I have known. You can live a comfortable life, read books, go to a workshop, do some affirmations and your life may remain semi-comfortable for a time. And when you are faced with life or death illness, tragedy, or the desire to expand into your dreams,  you ought to be prepared to be consistent with all of the fear, sadness, sabotage, unworthiness that comes up. That is when you most need a spiritual team and an integrated protocol. Over the years, I have seen others who intended to make major leaps in their lives. They did not have the understanding or tools to keep the old patterns from coming up and stopping them. I am prepared for this "crisis walk".

Where will I be in 6 months and what will I be doing?

In nature, working with amazing individuals who are taking life head on, participating in the changes our world needs and loving my expanded career. How? Don't know nor can I. What will it look like? Don't know and am not worried.

One step at a time and the first step is to clear anything in me that reflects, "You can not!"

Love!

What is Showing Up?

Queen Mab

Have you noticed that what you ask for is showing up more quickly?
I certainly have.
On July 23 I wrote down what I wanted for my move to Whidbey Island:

3 + bedrooms
2.5 baths.
2-3 to 5 acres of land
forested portions
trails for exploring

And I added a date: September 1st

I did not think about money. I find that money, or lack thereof, as a reason most of us do not act. What I had not considered is that availability of money is part of the process of acting or moving forward.

In addition to the physic explanation of energy attracting to our thoughts and words, I have experienced the presence of unseen beings who are part of the manifesting "project". I know that we all have a spiritual team that is available throughout our lives to assist us as we choose. When we do not choose their help, their hands are tied. We lose that extensive network of which they are a part that could support and resource us. One of the major laws on this planet is that the Greater Good cannot interfere with or supersede our personal requests. Granted, those human requests are often unconscious thoughts and patterns of limit or sabotage that we refuse to own.

Well, back to my words for Whidbey.

Three weeks later, on August 8th, a home listed for sale, one that I had looked at two days earlier, was offered to me... to rent.... month by month....  no first, last or deposit! Now when does that ever happen? A seller willing to take a home off the market for 6 months so that I could be on the island?

Details?

3+bedrooms
2.5 baths
10 acres.... that was over the top wonderful!
forested with trails the owner had created
access to private beach.... now I hadn't thought about that!
and all of the wood in the home, entry way, stairs, doors, had been harvested from the land... another benefit I hadn't thought to ask!

And, I had not thought about money.... I had not asked that it be fully funded, financially feasible,  etc. I had just ignored the money issue. I could have asked that the rent of this second home would come easily and effortlessly.

What did I do?

I went back to the project "drawing board". I was sooo appreciative for the immense help from my spiritual team. I acknowledged that my word was honored as "law" in my life. And, I put more conscious thought into the words for my move to Whidbey, including that the move was financially suppported.

What will happen? How will it happen? What is my role?

What will show up and how it will show up is not in my hands.
My role is to honor the quiet voices that come to me.
My role is to act on my intuition.
My role is to set aside time to consult with my spiritual support and ask what they would like me to know.
Also, my role is to notice any voices that "shout" at me, that try to demand of me, that act as if I am at their beck and call. It is my role to remember and anchor that I am the power of choice in my life and tell my spiritual team to remove  the source of demanding voices from my entire energy space.

Remember the statement I suggested several posts ago? Complete the statement: "The qualities of my Spiritual teachers are: _______________________________." That is the foundation that attracts and defines those who can work with you now.

What will happen to move me to Whidbey? Who knows! That is beauty of the magic of life.

blessings!

What Would I Do Without You?

Jump into the Creativity of Your Greatest Transformation!

 I am ready to move forward on the step that I have wanted to take for as long as I can remember... move to a small rural town surrounded with the beauty of nature. I have been tasting this experience for so long. Members of my family have heard my wistful imaginings for years and years.

This longing to be in the trees, with the birds, watching the water and animal woke up again last summer when I traveled to camp at Mt. Rainier. Ah...... so beautiful, so peaceful, so nurturing to my soul. I even wrote a poem about it once:

"I turn to the trees as a means of reconnection to Source
"What in me has been so nutured that an emptiness is felt without them?
"And the birds-what of their meaning in my life?
"At what distant past did our essenses converge with such power that an imprint was made-never to be the same?
"I thank Good for these friends!
"Their quiet strength and beauty.
"I seek the mountains and the pines and my spirit is renewed!"

Well, on that trip to Rainier I realized that now was the time and I was ready to say "yes!" The place that is calling is Whidbey Island, WA.

Although I know that the resources come in response to the "Yes!", early this morning I was a wee bit anxious. Does that ever happen to you in the early morning hours? Anyway, my mind started spinning the question, How is this move to Whidbey Island going to come together? Quieting my mind, breathing in the truth that support has always come, I also reached out in communication to my Spiritual Team... I am in your hands, I trust and I do not know how.

Most times I just ask and then listen as I write. This time I drifted back to sleep.

As I woke up, snatches on a dream stayed with me. Frogs, lots and lots of frogs. All sizes of frogs. And then, two beautiful large eagle feathers.

I looked up the symbolic meaning when frogs appear in your life. This is what I read:

Frogs deal with:

• Fertility
• Luck
• Cleansing
• Intuition
• Transformation 
• Creativity

"Due to the fascinating transitions the Frog goes through in its life, it is a symbol of metamorphosis. Furthermore, the Frog’s dual time spent on land and water represents duality of the soul. The Frog also symbolizes creativity and forward thinking.
Frog Animal Totems Facilitate:

• Patience in undergoing life transitions, clarity of thought during transition
• Embracing of personal transformation, welcoming internal morphing
• Jump into creative thought, and leap out of habitual thinking patterns
• Acceptance of our diversity and celebration of our opposite poles found in personality and lifestyle"

What could have been a more perfect and direct answer to this expansive leap that I am declaring. I am choosing a major shift in my work, my home, my mission and my Spiritual Teachers sent me the "frog".

Eagle feathers are always sacred. Eagle is one of my totem animals and the presence of the feathers blessed the answer.

What do individuals who try to walk their life with only other's external ideas for them do? How do they keep inner balance and perspective?

I could not have done my life without those amazing Spiritual Beings who walk beside me.
