Happy 4th of July 2024 to all the folks in the United States.
What a wonderful day to celebrate all the good things around us.
I wish each of you a day of celebration so that you are at peace with yourself, your family, and the rest of the world.
I wish you each a time of forgiveness so that you may let go of what you are holding on to, and that you may move forward without regrets.
This is my blessing for you.

It seems that spring is coming early this year. This morning on our walk, my dog and I had a special gift given to us. We saw about a dozen rabbits gather in an open field to start their mating dance. They could jump so high!
A gathering of rabbits in this fashion is a gift that heralds abundance and creativity. This is a gift from the goddess, Eostre, (other names Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur) who is said to be a goddess of the Teutonic era. Eostre is said to come to Earth in the spring to provide support for the seeding, mating and birthing time. Any ventures started during this time will be very successful, and the project, business, or trip, will connect you with people that will help you define what your life mission is for the next five to ten years.
The Rabbits have a blessing for you, that all barriers that block you will be diminished by the heights that you are able to soar, above anything you have dreamed of.
Many blessings,
Judy
GOOD BYE, 2023!
I hope that you get to party with family or with friends. I hope that you celebrate all the good things that happened this year. I hope that you bless the things that did not go according to plan and set them behind you.
I think that we celebrate the ending of each year because we believe the next year will be so much better! We all hope to find new ways of doing things, lots of abundance, lots of love from new relationships and from existing friends and family.
I wish you a happy New Year’s Eve!
Blessings,

We have all heard all the sayings - “march to the sound of your own drummer”, and “every one marches to a different beat”. Or, “everyone’s marching one way, and you need to get with the program”.
Well, the Angels are saying that it is time for you to remember why you asked to come to Earth to walk “your talk”. YOU did not come here to beat someone else’s drum, you came here to pound out your own tune. Your music, what ever that might be, is what helps keep the world in balance.
Remember the chorus from the song, “I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing”? It goes like this….
Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away~~(R. Cook/R. Greenway/B. Backer/B. Davis)
The Angels remind you that coming to Earth to get rich or to be poor or to be sick, or to be in a dead end job, was never part of the plan. They tell you that each person was to break free from the constraints of the world created by their parents, and that each person was to live in a way that made that person absolutely happy. Living a life based on “you should”, and “you’d better”, and someone else’s agenda is making people sick – sick to death.
So, sit down on a couch or a log or where ever you are comfortable, and find out what makes you happy, and find out where you want to be. Then, get with your program.
Blessings,
Judy
This picture comes from an email entitled “Nature’s Camouflage”
Spirit animals send us many messages as they cross our path. The same animal may appear to three people at the same time, and give each of them a different message. In this instance, a message about “blending in” is foremost. Often, as powerful as we are, we do more good, or have a greater effect, if we simply blend in so that others do not see us and take exception to us or avoid us. Sometimes, simply by being present in a locale, we can influence others with the energy that surrounds us.
The other message from camouflage is that in hiding in plain sight, we are often safer than if we try to hide off the beaten track. By hiding, we often think that we are reclusive. What may really happen is that we do end up drawing attention to ourselves because of our “abnormal” behaviour. Our Ancestors saw wizards and wisdom keepers (reference Munay-Ki) as specialists who could be consulted when the local Shaman did not have a solution for the problem confronting the tribe. The wisdom keeper lived in isolation and was obligated to help when the situation seemed without solution. The very fact that the wisdom keeper lived apart and seemed hidden made them more mysterious and more sought after.
As a helpful hint, there is a cougar lying on a rock towards the bottom of the picture above.
May you find ways to hide in plain sight.
Many blessings,
Judy
We have all felt sadness and grief, especially when a relative (ancestor) dies. We feel loss when a friend moves away. We feel changes with the changing of the seasons.
The Earth Ancestors tell us that through time, others have felt this way. It is difficult to say hard things like good-byes for this time and to find words to give bad news. The People have a blessing to help one get through the tough times. The blessing may bring peace over time.
If you need a blessing today, say this one several times to yourself.
Many Blessings,
Judy
I was lucky enough to find this poster that shows a quote from Lao Tzu speaking on peace. I think that when we feel peace in ourselves and our surroundings, we receive a triple fold blessing. I believe that peace keeps us young. I mean it stops our bodies from aging. With peace, we have time to focus our faith and to feel the calling of our spirit.
For me, peace is:
What is peace to you?
As I walked out in the park this morning with my dog, the first thing that caught our attention were two deer walking slowly down the path at the far edge of the park, about one-half mile from where we were entering. They were content, grazing as they went. There was a peacefulness to their journey.
Then as we walked down in to the river flood plane, two eagles flew up and down the river. One finally came to the tree top directly across the river from us. The other eagle circled, watching us and watching the geese, and looking for the fish that would come close to the surface. Again, there was a serenity to the scene that makes the moment a blessing.
Quite often, our walks are "walking meditations" for me. As I walked, I reflected that even the two chickadees that we saw were a pair. The ducks that flew up seemed to be in twos. The sense was of a "Noah's Ark" effect.
One of the thoughts that passed through my mind was that in order to hold our balance through the upheavals that will be happening, we each will need someone - a partner who will anchor us as we will anchor them. The partner may be a spouse, a family member, or a close friend. It will be different for each of us. To help maintain the balance, we will need to let go of many things - material things. That process has already been started because people are having to walk away from houses and lives full of “stuff” for financial reasons. At the same time, by letting go and paring down, these people are opening up space to accept new energy that will take them beyond the consumer infection that the corporate world has been pushing for the last fifteen years.
As we pare down and let go, many of the energy blockages that have kept us from being happy - we were so busy consuming that we did not realize what happiness was - will dissolve. Life will be simpler.
Think about what you can give away to to others to open up your life and help someone else.
Many blessings,
Judy
