Compassion For Self

 clip_image001

It is true!  The Angels say that humans can show so much compassion for others, and even cry at commercials on television because they tug at our heart.  They go on to say that we do not seem to be able to show compassion for our self. We see the “self” as someone who needs to be bullied, harangued, and mocked.  We are harder on our self than any other person could be.

Change that now.  Put your left hand over your heart. Use your right hand, if left is your dominant hand.  Then put your right hand over the left.  Close your eyes.  Breathe.  See the golden light around you.  Know that you are safe.  Now, in your mind, see a river, meandering between two banks.  On each bank, the grass is green and dotted with flowers.  A forest starts up several hundred yards away. The river flows peacefully now, but sometimes, it rages and overflows its banks. Other times, it is a trickle in the bottom of the river channel.  Always it moves. Always it flows.  Finally, it merges with a larger body of water… a lake, sea, or ocean.  

We are like the river.  We need to keep flowing.  We do not need to stop what we do or how we do it unless we choose.  Go with the flow of your life.  Stop several times a day and put both hands on your heart.  Give your self some compassion.

Blessings.

Circumstances

 image

The poster says:

Lesson of Time - Karma

When a bored is alive…It eats Ants.

When the bird is dead.. ants eat the bird.

Time & Circumstances can change at any time.

Don’t devalue or hurt anyone in life.

You may be powerful today.  But Remember.

Time is more powerful than you!

On tree makes a million match sticks…..

Only one match stick need to burn a million trees….

So be good and do good.

************************************************

The message in this poster is very timely.  We watch the people in the world around us do good and do harm to other people.  We see that they seem to be working with values that we, the observer, does not understand.  Perhaps we are not meant to understand.  Perhaps we are supposed to be confused by what is happening.  Perhaps there is a balancing going on that is not apparent to the observer.  Perhaps!

Blessings.

Breath Fills You

 image

The poster says:  Breathe === Author Unknown

*******************************

Breathe in, and breath fills you so that your body functions.  Breathe in and your heart opens.  Breathe in, and life seems to be more colorful.  Breathe in, and feel the rhythm of the heart beat of the Universe.  

Stop breathing.  There is silence. There is calm. There is a sense of fading.

Breathe in, and breath fills you with life.

Blessings

What Turtle Expects

 image

The poster says:  TURTLE IS NOT ANGRY….Turtle is disappointed in you.  —— Author Unknown

*************************************************

I loved this picture when I saw it because it reminds me that we often see human features in animals.  

Turtle lives a long time, and is very focused on all beings being happy.

Skunk in Black and White

image

Skunk says that not everything in life is black and white.  In truth, most things have four or five angles, not just two.  Skunk knows because most people think that Skunk is bad, has rabies, and smells.  They can’t seem to find anything good about him.  

Skunk would like you to know about his “good” side.  Have insects plaguing your fields?  Skunk will clean them up.  He will deter moles from making holes in pastures and lawns.  And, he is a natural predator for frogs and snakes.  

If Skunk is showing up in your life, it may be to remind you that your view of the world is very narrow, and that many life situations are grey.

Blessings

Walking Without The Crowd

 image

The poster says:  The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.  The one who walks alone, is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been. —- Albert Einstein

********************************************

While most of us crave companionship on a daily basis, we all do need to have quiet moments and be alone.  It is in being alone that we meet ourselves and assess what we are doing.  Being alone gives us a chance to try things without the running commentary of family and friends, and, it gives time to find those things that feed our Soul.

As the Earth changes, we change.  We need quiet time to process the changes.  We can discover that we are amazing; that life is amazing; and that the world is amazing.  

Blessings.

To Be Happy

 image

The poster says:  The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.  —- Unknown

*******************************************

I keep thinking about how a baby comes into the world with nothing, and how happy a baby is.  As it gets older, and people give it “things”, it becomes unhappy when it doesn’t have “things”.  It does make you wonder what our lives would be like if manufacturing just stopped, and if we did not have things.  

Concentrate on some questions and see what happens as the answers come out.  

  • What made you laugh today?
  • What action happened that gave you a warm, fuzzy feeling?
  • What caused you intense frustration today?

Blessings.

Reflection Of Life

 image

The poster says:  Reputation is what men and women think of us; Character is what God and Angels know of us.  —— Thomas Paine

********************************************

The discussion at the lunch table, was around an individual who was known as being difficult and who was causing delays in getting some specific work completed because he could not make up his mind.  Some of the comments were unkind. Some were humorous.  

At the end of the day, however, it does not matter what each of us thinks about another; it is about how well the individual lives with himself or herself, and what they have done to be true to ‘self’.  Standing firm in what one believes in, is in fact, a great show of character.

Lady Bug Seasons

 

It is truly Fall.  Lady Bug is finding places to burrow for the Winter.  I am sure that in the northern hemisphere, you have noticed Lady Bug coming into your house, looking for a safe place to winter.  Even with screens and deterrents in place around the house, she seems to find a way in.  If you have house plants, she will head to them for a quiet winter.  When the last Lady Bug disappears, then I know the first snow is coming soon.  

Summer arrives when Lady Bug arrives… that’s how I measure summer.  The weather warms up, in the mid 60 degrees, and Lady Bug appears on new leaves.  With her arrival, Lady Bug reminds us:

  • Fresh starts are not a favor; they are a birth right.  Everyone can start over as many times as they want.
  • This is a good time to get grounded and to remember what is important in life… family ties, home, neighborhood, and community.  They will always support you when your work place will not.
  • Every situation is a chance to spread your wings and try something new.  You might fall down.  However, know that you can always get back up!  It is empowering to get back up.

Blessings,

Amazing Energy

 image

The Angels remind us that energy is unlimited; it simply takes on different forms as it is transmuted from one energy body to another.  We are unlimited energy.  We too can transmute and be what ever we want to be.  We do not need to let others limit our energy.  We can grow and transmute.

Understand Your Deep Sleep

 image

The picture says:  As you sleep, sometimes you are connecting with teachers from other realms ….. even if you don’t remember.  — Unknown

***************************************

The Angels say:

Dearest Ones… yes, all of you!  We remind you that all of your time is time for teaching, whether you sleep or not.  It is the gift of sleep that gives you the greatest lessons from the greatest teachers.  Yet, you sleep so deeply, you do not remember when you wake up.  It is planned this way so that you will not be overwhelmed with the knowledge that you have with the current life that you lead.  You would find all the information too much to take in while you are walking on this planet.  So, we teach you when you are not committed to doing anything else.  Your race is so committed to do and to go.  It keeps you from the simple things. Let go now, and go to sleep.  We will see you in dreamtime.

Blessings

Turtle Speaks Out

 image

It is time, I say, to listen again to Turtle.  We who are judged the slowest of beings have one of the best of lives.  We carry what we need with us.  We have a place to sleep when we want to sleep.  There are not any special times that we must eat, or go, or do.  

We see that the human race has moved out of balance with the natural rhythm of the Earth.  It causes the humans grief and sickness.  It causes unhappiness.  

Just for a moment, find that place deep within and match your breathing to the same heartbeat of the Mother Earth.  You will be soothed.  It will feel like a vacation.  Try it now.

Blessings.

Healing Light

 image

The light that flows from the Sun has been criticized for being harmful and for causing cancer.  And yet we know that healing happens because blood carries oxygen which carries light frequencies, many from the Sun.  

How often have you heard of people being told to go to recuperate in a a sunny place?  Without the Sun, our Vitamin D would be only from drug companies.  Without the Sun, the plants would not turn green.  Yes, the Sun influences healing.  Go out today and tomorrow, and the next day, and be in the light of the Sun.

Reminder… here are some other postings about healing.

October 1 2026 - Flowering Lotus Position


image

As October begins, and plants and trees fold into winter quietness, it seems like a good time for all of us to move into a meditation practice to help us deal with the change that is going on around us and in the world.

The best time of meditation is when you can sit or lie in stillness, with your eyes closed, and see the petals of the Lotus flower floating around you.  With apologies to Yogis every where, this is the Lotus position.  It is in this space of no time that the Lotus allows one to travel near and far, and yet to have a grounding place.  The image is the gift of the Universe and becomes the symbol of a changing consciousness.

It is not always white.  Sometimes it seems a pinkish-purplish-goldish colour that captivates one’s Soul and raises the joy factor to a state of blissful.  

This is the place to stay, to grow, to heal.  

Blessings

Close Your Eyes

 image

The poster says:  Why do we close our eyes when we pray, cry, kiss, dream?  Because the most beautiful things in life are not seen but felt only in the heart.  —- Unknown

*********************************************

As much as we love beautiful things, humans will close their eyes when they are so touched by “something” that they cannot bear to see it with their eyes wide open.  It may be because we have excitement, anticipation, or even a little fear around the edges of what ever we are doing.  Closing our eyes makes it seem safer.  

And, when we close our eyes, we do not let the reality of life interfere with our search for possibilities.  We know that things can happen that are not always explainable in ordinary terms.  There is a certain physics of believing, or dreaming, or praying, that allows the future to be generated with our eyes closed.

Make a wish.  Check your eyes.  Were they opened or closed?  How quickly did your wish manifest?  

Blessings.

Feed Others

 image

The dog and the lamb (not the Lion and the Lamb) are here to remind us that many people and animals wander this world, without enough food to nourish them.  They say that all deserve the right to have food.  All deserve the opportunity to forage for food.  All deserve to be gifted food.  

The message is clear that we need to give what we can without prejudice or judgment or conditions,  about who or what we are feeding.  We need to find compassion within ourselves to help others over come the challenges that they have.  We who can need to help to feed those who cannot.  

Find time to feed someone today.

Believe in Your Destination

image

The poster says:  The very act of believing creates strength of its own.  —- Unknown

*******************************************

What do you want to be?  Who do you want to be?  The correct answer to both of these questions is: “Yourself”.  You are unique. That ability to think, do, see, hear, smell, in a way that no one else can therefore provides a service to the Earth and to the Universe that is distinct from all others. 

We have been fashioned by media, by drugs, by food,  to behave like flocks of sheep. The energies that are bombarding the Earth from other parts of the Universe are stimulating people to step out of the fog of banality.  Moving forward, people will be discovering, creating, inventing things that we did not “believe” could be done.  All things are possible.

Blessings.

You Radiate Energy

image

There is a shift in people’s view of what feels right.  This shift is partly because all of the humans are starting to feel the stirring of the energy in them.  People are radiating goodness, kindness, compassion.  It may only be in small ways, and yet, energy waves travel remarkable distances.  Good deeds are moving human consciousness forward.  People are more content with being.  True, there are days were nothing feels right.  More often though, there is a sense of moving through time and space.  There is a feeling that the Earth must be helped; that animals and humans need assistance when they are not able to fend for themselves. This energy is moving us forward.

Angels Talk About Rainbows

image

A rainbow is a source of wonder to humans.  It make people feel joyful, as though they have just witnessed a miracle.  Perhaps, it is.  Perhaps, we all have a genetic memory that rainbows were the signal that the rain was over and if there was drought, plants would grow.  Perhaps rainbows are a reminder that life goes on.  Perhaps, we feel that rainbows are about hope – they make the future seem brighter.  

“Shine your soul with the same 
egoless humility as the rainbow 
and no matter where you go 
in this world or the next, 
love will find you, attend you, and bless you.” 
― Aberjhani, Journey through the Power of the Rainbow: Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry

No Ego!

image

The poster says:  Look Ma.  No Ego! —— Unknown

******************************

When there is no ego or selfishness, there is nothing that will destroy nature, nothing that will exploit and abuse nature. Then the external, physical aspect of nature will be able to conserve itself automatically.   —Buddhadasa, “Conserving the Inner Ecology”

One of the most difficult things seems to be recognizing what is ego, and what is not.  Ego is the piece of you that works to keep you safe when you are in situations that could be dangerous to your health.  That is a good thing! 

Then, there is the Ego that gets you in trouble by going into rhapsody over your looks, or voice, or abilities, or what ever.  It exaggerates.  Or, it becomes the voice of dissent.  And, it discourages you from trying new things.

We do need to embrace our Ego, and the let it go.  

Blessings…

A Home With ME

 

image

The poster says:  

In the space between my fingers between this breathe and the next in the vacant space of my heart I have kept you marked eternally.  You never had to wonder or worry whether or not I will replace you (never)  you will always have a home within me.  —— Unknown

*****************************


When we think of safety, we generally think of “home”.  What does that really mean?  Home can be where we were born, or brought up, or where we feel the happiest such as being at Grandmother’s house.  Or, home can be about the group/tribe that accepts you and wants to help you with all that you do.   It is wonderful to have the feeling of home around you.

It Is About Zen

image

The poster says:  Not thinking about anything is zen.  Once you know this, walking, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is zen. —- Bodhidharma

**************************

Life, I think, is about learning to move through each day with Grace and cheerfulness.  It is about learning to not attach to any things or outcomes.  If we can do this, then life is beautiful and everything flows.  

When we try to control outcomes, the lives of those around us, and when we become inflexible, then life becomes difficult because it cannot flow; we will not let it move easily.   Hanging on to people, to possessions, and to belief systems are going to get in the way of the flow.  They become your personal speed bumps on the way to a peaceful life.

Blessings,

Judy

A Peaceful Place

 


Picture of Elbow River taken off of Highway 66 - J Hirst

For some folks, Autumn, and specifically September is a time of turmoil before things settle down.  For me, September and indeed all of the autumn, is a time of excitement and change.  I love the changes of September almost as much as I love the changes that happen in the spring.

I like to go walking through the woods in the park as the leaves start to tumble down.  I like to crunch them because the sound is like that of crunching up paper to throw away.  We crunch up paper when we are not happy with what we have written, and we throw the page away and start anew.  To me, autumn is the crunching up the paper to start something new.

I have started several jobs in the Fall during my career. The timing has been perfect for me and has always been a positive action.  The energy of autumn with harvesting grain, fruit, vegetables, and even animals (hunting season) lends itself to humans so that things get done. This makes it easier to change from one employer to another.

When I find that life is getting too hectic, I look for a peaceful place to go to so that I can sit and be calm and let pent up energy go.  When that energy is released, my body also releases stress.  I am able to breathe with the flow of the wind through the trees or with the motion of the water.  Sometimes, I can look skyward and see flocks of birds and I will release the energy with the soaring of the birds.   

Each of us has a different idea of what a peaceful place looks like.  The trick is to find the place that speaks to you.

Many blessings,
Judy

Dove Rising

When things are looking bleak, I think about the Doves that sit in our Mountain Ash every morning.  About sixteen of them gather to wait for the light to grow brighter before they descend to the ground to eat the seeds that I have spread under the tree.

                           ************

We must combine the toughness of the serpent with the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”  ~~Martin Luther King, Jr. 

I heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day; His voice was buried among trees, Yet to be come at by the breeze: He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed: And somewhat pensively he wooed: He sang of love, with quiet blending, Slow to begin, and never ending; Of serious faith, and inward glee; That was the song,--the song for me! ~~~ William Wordsworth

And there my little doves did sit With feathers softly brown And glittering eyes that showed their right To general Nature's deep delight. ~~~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Better By Choice

image

The poster says:  Your life doesn’t get better by chance.  It gets better by choice. —-Unknown

*************************

There is a lot to be said for having free will!  It allows us to make choices that are good for us.  So many people allow others to choose for them.  This absolves them of any guilt of making the wrong choice.  However, life does not work like that.  If you allow others to choose, then, you have made a choice to take that course of action.  You are responsible.

Each of Us Is The Universe

 image

Each of us has the capacity to see the sky, the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars.  If we have keen eyes, we can see the planets, space stations, satellites, and shooting stars.

We see them because we recognize them.  Each of us has the memory of the Universe in our cells, to draw on when needed.  We know so much more than we are!

Find the Light With In

image

Drifting off in meditation, you may find one day that you see a light that seems to be far away.  As you go deeper, the light moves closer.  If you see the light move closer yet,  you may see that it is in the shape of a flower.  If you are quite close to the light, you may recognize the familiar form of the Lotus flower.  

The light in each of us as it grows brighter blossoms into the radiance that looks like a lotus.  It is amazing!  It is right for us to see it.  Sit in silence.  Let the light come.  Do not force it, and see what transpires.

Whale Of A Time!

image

The legends speak of how mankind migrated from the sea, birthed by whales and dolphins.  These are legends that seem impossible.  The question that must be asked, I think, is that if you believe this legend, then, where did whales and dolphins come from?   Other legends talk about whales carrying humans from place to place across the ocean, in a manner more quickly than a sailing ship or even an airplane.  Whales, it is said, have the gift of traveling through time and space.  This gift is something that humans crave.  Yet, it seems that while humans work at reaching this level of ability through technology, Whale simply exists in a state of fun and of adventure, and does many things with out effort.  One could say that whales have a whale of a time!

September 1 2026 Autumn

 

September tells us that Autumn is here.  Indeed, the leaves started turning beginning about August 20th.  It is also the month of the Autumnal Equinox.  

Here is the information from the Farmers Almanac:

The 2026 fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere arrives on Tuesday, September 22, at 8:04 P.M. Eastern Time (00:06 UTC on September 23). This moment marks the astronomical start of autumn, where day and night are roughly equal. 

Why is September 1 important?  For farmers raising grain, September 1 is the signal that there is a limited time to harvest before the rain and snow starts.  In Calgary, we have had several snows happen in early September.  For ranchers, it is the signal to head out to round up the cattle that have summered in mountain pastures.  Round up is usually the first or second week in September.  On this side of the equinox, the daylight is shrinking.  For hockey players, it is time to get serious about training and lacing on the skates for the pre-season games.  For most children/young adults, schools and universities begin classes.  Some schools even start the last week of August in our area.  Often, organizations start their new fall programs in September for things like bowling, pool, swimming, yoga, qi gong, painting, curling, etc.  For many of us, it is a time of harvesting our gardens, freezing, canning, or making juice.  Generally, we try to be finished by Equinox. 

Upon finishing the harvesting, people gather to celebrate a bountiful year with feasting and socializing.  These events happen at the time of Equinox.  The old name for Equinox was Mabon.. a time of preparing to move from the light of spring and summer into the darkness of fall and winter.  

What ever you are doing this September, remember to take time to give thanks for being here to move into Autumn.  Give thanks for friends and family and all that you have.  

Blessings,

Judy

Merging

image

“Dearest Ones!  You have forgotten how you all fit together.  The Water that flows through each of you comes from the Earth and returns to the Earth and moves to the oceans where what you were touches the ocean creatures.  The oceans wash up on the shore and flow into the rivers and leave a little bit of themselves behind.  Oceans feed the subterranean waterways that flow under land to soothe the hot Earth.  The humans absorb little bits of the ocean when they eat or drink from products of the Earth.  It is a circle.  It keeps all of you.  Be kind to those in the circle.”

Set Sail For Something New

image

Friends are lovely and comforting, however, they seldom push you beyond the comfort zone that you live in.  If you do try to move beyond that zone, often, friends will be the first to tell you, in your best interest of course, that you will fail in this new venture.

Generally, we humans are not about being safe.  We humans are not about being fool hardy, but we do like our adventure.  THAT is why so many people are willing to try adventure vacations, extreme sports, and all the other very extraordinary things that are out there for us to do.  

Moving beyond safe keeps us alive because, every day, we renew our interest in life.

Blessings to all!

Why Travel?

 

The poster says:

If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet….. —-Rachel Wolchin

********************************

One of the most valuable teaching tools for adults and children is the action of travel.  When we travel, we learn new things about ourselves:

- our lack of patience or the amount of patience that we have.

-our prejudices against other countries, other people, other food, other customs.

-our need to expand our knowledge because not one city or country holds all the knowledge one needs to be the best person possible. 

-our insecurities show up as do our interpersonal relationship issues with family, friends, and with new acquaintances.

-our limitations if we only have one language.

I am sure that you can think of other reasons to travel.  These are my top five for learning while traveling.  Share what you think in the comments below.

Angels On Grief

image

The message below comes from my angels.  And as with all messages from beyond, it seems very impersonal, especially when talking about grief.  What I am learning is that the grief that we feel is showing the depth of the love that we had for that being - human or animal.  Grief is a process.  When we are in grief, we do feel removed from others because grief is personal.  

**********************************

It is clear that in this time of transition, when people are dying and leaving the planet for any number of reasons, that we will feel grief.  The Angels say that grief is the emotion of loss and that loss is an illusion of the physical body; of the degree of separation that one feels from others and from God/Creator/Universe.

Feel no grief at this time.  We are all one.

Many blessings,

Judy

The Power of Prayer

image

If you are following my blog, you will have read several different posts about prayer.  When I talk about prayer, I am not referring to one specific religion for prayer.  I refer to how you sit with asking and speaking to what you believe in.  Lots of people call meditation a prayer.  It doesn’t matter how you label it, it is about some form of communication between you and the Universe.

While scientists have been trying for years to prove the power of prayer in terms of healing people, no group has studied the power of prayer on the individual.

A quote that I quite like says that Prayer is you talking to God/Universe while meditation is God/Universe talking to you.

Prayer gives the individual the opportunity to speak all of the things that is on one’s mind to a Presence that is non-judgmental, and that is absolutely silent.  This Presence does not recommend different solutions, jump in and try to fix things, or even give you a list of “shoulds”.  This Presence simply fills the space around you and listens. 

Try it.

Blessings,

Judy

Be Your Actions

image

The poster says:  An intelligent person does not need the robust of heaven to see the merit in good deeds.   -  Author Unknown.

********************************************************************

Preach the Gospel... If necessary use words.  Francis of Assisi 

*******************************************************************

We have all heard of the ripple effect of the butterfly gently moving its wings somewhere in South America and the many other actions that exist because of the one butterfly.  We see the effect of the small ripples in the rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans and how the tiny ripples can become huge waves that crash over things and up against the coast line.  

Recently, I am hearing more stories from people who have been touched by small actions of kindness or thoughtfulness, and how that action helped change the person’s life for the better.  If you have the opportunity to do a small, kind action, do it!  You start the ripple.
