For about a week I’ve been missing a sentimental item, a vintage brass hand bell similar to this one. It sat on my desk alongside a crystal hand bell, which now sits alone. No one else goes in that room but my pal G and I. We’ve looked all over. G did manage to find another small brass bell I didn’t even recall I had, so it’s sitting on the altar with the crystal one waiting for the other to return. (The two smaller bells in the photo to the right.)

UPDATE: I found my missing brass handbell! It was in the shed. Here it is, the one on the left. I was feeling emotional pain because of it being missing for a few days. I ordered the one on the right because it reminded me of it. I figured with time I would forget the new one was not the original one and it would hold the same sentimental attachment for me. When my father-in-law came to live with me, that was the bell he would have in his room to call me if he didn’t feel like yelling across the house.

News reports of scandals are cause for lightworkers to celebrate! Not because of the scandals themselves, but because they are clear signs that darkness can no longer hide. Those scandals have always existed. The difference is that they are now discovered and reported. Everyone is aware of the truth. <3 Darkness is running, resigning, and trying to hide . . . but it faces total eviction from our realty as we each allow God’s light full access to shine through us. When you turn the lights on in the room, darkness vanishes. Keep shining and speaking your truth, as that’s your divine purpose!  Doreen Virtue

Don’t be deceived. See past the illusion. In nature, animals learn tricks to appear larger to prey. You call attention to yourself, you make large motions, you make a lot of noise. “Deception in animals is the transmission of misinformation by one animal to another in a way that propagates beliefs that are not true. In deimatic behaviour, an animal adopts a threatening pose to startle a predator or rival. Some animals may use tactical deception, with behaviour that is deployed in a way that other animals misinterpret what is happening to the advantage of the agent.”

Stay hopeful. Don’t take score too soon. We’ve been heard. Helpers are in motion working to make it right. Help hold the vision. Help is on the way. Stay hopeful because that’s what sustains us and moves us forward. Never doubt that behind the scenes there are people helping. Look for the helpers. See how you can help them.

A pal who takes serious issue with what’s going on makes comments like, “he keeps his jacket on so you don’t see his diaper butt.” When people take the attention off the issues and put it on something personal, it dilutes their integrity for me. Personal attacks just show you’re an angry or mean-spirited person. If that is not how you want to be seen, sticking to the issues is how you get issues resolved.  Folks are allowed to make fashion choices we would not make ourselves, like the big boxy look. In nature you learn tricks to appear larger and more intimidating to your prey.

Open your inner eye. Begin to see your world in a new way. Ask to be shown more life within the life you’re living. Ask to be guided to more happiness and meaning in your life. Open your inner eye and ask.

If you’re in business and not making any money and jealous of a competitor who is — you’re stopping your flow of income by being jealous and ticked and feeling there is any competition. In fact, if you are ticked at anything, you’re putting a kink in your hose and stopping the flow of good into your life. Yep, just you. You’re that powerful.

Yes, bringing the light isn’t always as simple as pointing out the silver lining. It’s also posting where dragons cross in case you prefer an alternate route.

A pal overcame cancer a few years ago. It was quite the journey but she’s a trooper and now on the other side of it. She’s having a health flare-up lately, not surprising because she’s active in the protest/resistance movement. I know that f I give a lot of attention and energy to anything I don’t like, that introduces resistance into my vibration, which cuts off the flow of my good. The resistance kinks my hose so to speak. So even though she’s fighting for a good cause, she’s  still fighting and the universe will continue to give her more to fight about because she’s always proving herself fit for battle.   Continue reading →

I trimmed away more stems from my philodendron selloum so the bird bath is in clear view. Now my office window is like a tv screen with the nature channel playing. I pruned the eleagnus hedge out front to make it more lacy. I yanked up miles of wedelia and mower mulched it. I found several 40 year old large format painted canvases in the shed which I can gesso over for new work. I’m feeling inspired to paint again as I reclaim big empty spaces to work in. I’m happy today to be working in the yard after months rehabbing arm sprains and itis-es. It feels good to pulls up weeds and vines, to replace fence slats, to mow the yard, to rake, to sweep, to launder all the fabric in the house, to patch the little pinhole leaks in the back porch ceiling. I’m back!
