You Are Here To FULLY Live Life

The poster says:  Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

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

As I watch people aging around me, I notice that the biggest difference between happy people and sad or angry people, is the amount of change that each individual allows in their own life. 

What do I mean?  The happy people are always going and growing.  They learn new things.  They participate in groups or volunteer.  They go beyond what they can or what they have to do to look after themselves.  Many of them are quite active physically in walking, biking, hiking, playing pickle ball or swimming.  The physical activity allows them additional energy to do other things.  When chatting with some of them, they all say that they will give up other things to continue to do the physical activity.  

I think that there is a lot going on about aging that we do not understand and that we can possibly change.  One of the things is going beyond the comfort zone.  What do you think?

Take Responsibility

Responsibility is about taking credit for your own actions.  When you blame someone else, then you give your power away.  Giving your power away means that people have no reason to respect you, look up to you, or see you as a valuable friend.  

If you want to change the way people look at you, take responsibility.  It is easy to look at the other person, the circumstances, the scene, or the environment, and say that you are not able to make changes – that others want to limit you.  You and I know that is not true.  Yes, some people may want to bully you.  Don’t let them.

Blessings,

April 1 And Change

 

The poster says:

If we don’t change, we don’t grow.  If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living. —-Gail Sheehy

April 1 is a commonly called April Fool’s Day.  You can read more about that on this blog post - https://www.lightstationwisdom.com/2025/04/april-1-for-love-and-fools.html.

April is the change month.  Everything changes. We move from winter into full tilt spring.  Yes, spring comes earlier in some places.  Where I am, April is when the birds nest, the crocuses are out, and the trees bud.  You can feel the change in the air in people, too.  People are outside more and seem more open and friendly.  

When we talk about change, it means the physical changes of course.  However, it also includes the mental and spiritual changes that happen to folks when they feel the surge of life when they are out in Nature.  Nature has a way of bringing us into balance - getting out of our head and into our heart.  We feel and absorb and grow.

Many blessings,

Judy

Angels Care for the Earth

 

Dear Ones!  You do not realize how often that we walk with you, and how often we care for the Earth, all the animals, for you, and, really, for all Beings on the planet.  This is a very delightful time.  Although we hear you say that it is chaotic, we see huge levels of change.  We see people being kinder and healthier than they were a decade ago.  We see hope, and light, and laughter.  We do see the grimmer things that upset you so.  Remember, these are paths that each participant has written.  These are steps they want to take.  Sometimes it seems that there is no justice, as you call it.  Yet, we see everything in balance.

Try looking at a bigger picture, and you may see the beauty of the way things work.  It is never about you or you or you (as we point fingers at different people); it is about the all, or unity or the Universe.

Love to all of you and peace be with you too.

The Angels

Fire Across The Mountains

Right now, so much change is happening in the world.  Often, when we think of fires, we think about the fires in forests, up the mountains, that consume thousands of acres of vegetation and destroy the homes of animals and often the animals.  Soon, the fires in Canada and the United States will be happening again.

The Angels remind us that often, when we see disaster, that newness is happening.  In the Tarot, the Tower card has fire in it.  The card is about change.

The fires that plague forested areas and put residences in peril, are part of a natural cycle of renewal.  Most things in the natural world have an expiry date.  Sometimes, Nature takes a hand to cause a forest to re-grow with a different main tree, or a meadow to re-grow without a certain weed or other plant.  We may study Nature for ever and not understand the cycles and attrition that happens as a matter of course. 

When fire happens, there are some messages:

• What is it that needs cleansing?
• Is it time to ignite your life with passion for something?
• What part of you burns with anger, and why? 

Blessings,

Judy

The Real Journey

The poster says:

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know what to do, we have begun our real journey. —— Wendell Berry

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

I have many friends who are currently changing their job or career, their home, and even their spouses/partners.  It is a time when we are being called to a different path then the path we have been on.  For some, it is joyous, as they now get to do what they have always wanted to do.

For others, it is an adventure, and with it comes some fear, because the path is unknown, and sometimes, it means leaving everything behind.  As we walk forward, what we had, drops away.  We cannot go back!  Yes, people say you can go back.  However, the truth is that everything changes and even in going back, you do go back to something new.  Sometimes, going forward is the better option.

What do the changes mean?  More and more, I think it is about choosing to recognize what is right and what is wrong.  We are born with this kind of intuition.  Yet, many of us trade it for unanimity.

What is your choice, today?

Blessings,

Judy

Changing Habits

Changing ourselves involves learning how to develop those states, behaviors, and dispositions that are healthy, while allowing the unhealthy ones to atrophy from neglect.    - Andrew Olendzki, "Turning the Corner"

 

While I think the quote clearly states how one can change a pattern or a habit, perhaps a bit more explanation is required.  

If  a person is a smoker and smokes twenty cigarettes a day, the only way that they will change to not smoking is to slowly drop smoking a cigarette a day until there are no cigarettes to smoke.  The habit of smoking is erased by neglecting to smoke the maximum number of cigarettes per day.

The urge may still be there and will disappear if the now non-smoker ignores it.

Judy

Transformation Washes Through Us

The poster says:  Change is inevitable, but transformation is a choice. —-Heather Ash Amara

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

This picture reminds us that there are grand changes in the Earth’s energy from the recent full moon on February 1 2026.

Feel the changes sweep through your body.  As it changes, notice that you are very tired and grumpy.  Then, you are full of energy and excitement.  Then you are sad or even depressed.  Then you are filled with love and joy.  Forgiveness is easy.  

Do these symptoms sound schizophrenic to you?  They are very close to the symptoms of that dis-ease.  Currently, you are in a state of dis-ease so it is not any wonder that the symptoms are very similar.  Through this change, we throw out all that we have valued because it no longer carries weight.  Notice that all of the crimes against THE PEOPLE – YOU AND I AND ALL OF US – are being uncovered and brought to the forefront, or, as one of my friends says, “into the light”.

We are not willing to be told what to do, think, say, believe, value, or obey.  We are free minded with free will.  We can choose differently than we have in the past.

Go forth and change and cause change to happen!

Blessings,

Judy

Moth and Change

 As I got ready for bed, two small moths, similar to the one above, came and danced around my head, and then settled on the wall.  When I left the bathroom, they followed me, and settled on my lampshade.

Moth, like butterfly, represents change.  Because Moth goes through four transformations, and butterfly only goes through three transformation, some believe that Moth indicates a bigger magnitude of change.

Some of the ideas to keep in mind if Moth pays you a visit are:

• Moth’s preferred time of movement is the night.  Take a page from Moth’s book and plan activities for the late evening or night, especially if you are doing creative activities like writing.
• Moth lays its wings flat to blend more easily.  This is a time of transformation for you so keeping a low profile is a great idea.  When you do not draw attention to yourself, then others will not try to interfere with your change.
• Moth is attracted by light.  We all are.  Moth, however, is not always discriminating about the type of light that it flocks to.  Pay attention to the things that are calling to you now.  You are vulnerable, and not always thinking from a place of being grounded.  Some things that call to you are destructive.  Beware!

 

Blessings,

Judy

How To Accomplish Change

 The poster says:

The three C’s of life:  Choices, Chances, Changes.

You must make a Choice to take a Chance or your life will never Change.

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

We are in December, the time of year when many folks start looking at their life and wishing it was different.  It may be the unhappiness of family and friends and their dramas.  Or, it may be a dis-satisfaction with the work or career.  Sometimes, it is a general depression that one is not where they thought they would be at this time.  This is a time to look at the three C’s of life.

If life isn’t going the way that you imagined that it would, then life is telling you that you need to change something.  For each of us, that “something” is different.  Yes, it is because we are unique.  Our differences mean that our choices must be different.  

If someone is telling you and one hundred others that you must make a choice to do “something”, then recognize that all one hundred and one of you are being treated the same, and your differences are not being accounted for.

If you keep making the same choices over and over, you are not only in a pattern, you are in a rut!  The only way that you can get out of the rut is to choose to climb out of it.

If you want to make changes, ask the Angels for help.  They will stand with you and help you shift.

Blessings,

Judy

Muskrat’s Message

My dog and I came back from the river.  I was marvelling at seeing three muskrat in the channel, all of them up on a rock or on land, cheerfully chewing away on grass roots and watching the world go by on the walking path.

The message that came through from Muskrat was about change.  It was saying that we will have to find new ways to work together as things change.  Muskrat was at the river to forge a bond with Beaver.  They decided to work together for this year and the next to regain some habitable marsh land for both species.  They will work to help each other by watching out for predators, watching for the ranger man, and keeping alert for good trees to build with.  

Muskrat talked about how difficult it is to find a permanent place to live.  They plan that they will stay in one place no more than one full passage of the seasons (one year).  If they can stay longer, then they are happy.

They wish each of you a safe place to live.

Blessings,

Judy

Hold On To Your Power

The changes are happening so fast around me that sometimes I feel like a top, spinning and bouncing off what ever gets in the way.  At the same time, I feel calm and centered.  How can there be this much contrast in change?

I asked the Angels.  They said that our lives are really like hurricanes.  The hurricane is calm at the center.  The further one is from the center, the stronger the chaos is in the hurricane.  A light bulb went off!

As long as I stay true to my purpose or my what my heart tells me is right for me, then I am calm and peaceful.  When someone tries to force you or manipulate you into doing something that you are uncomfortable with, then the pushing of the chaos happens.  Another’s will is pushing against our will.  Each of us must hold on to our own power.

For some reason, I found this discussion quite comforting. 

Blessings,

Judy

Celebrating the Light

The Angels speak and say that it is time to move forward to the time of light.  Many of the different belief systems are writing and speaking about the changing ways that we can look at time and distance and mass.  They are constructs that we have made (that is, they are man-made), and so they  are subject to change.

There is an abundance of everything in the world because everything is energy.  We do not need to believe in scarcity.  The earth changes are showing us how much power Creator has at its finger tips.  We too, have the same power available to us.  We can use it to help Creator, and ourselves move forward.

Blessings,

Judy

Dragonfly

Yesterday and today, I am noticing an abundance of dragonflies around the yard, and in the meadows in the park.  They are all colours.  

As I walked up the hill in the park the other day, three dragonflies flew before me, as though the climb signified a huge change in my life.   My walk was similar to dragonflies journey from egg to larvae to transformation as a dragonfly.  It moves up through the water in the different stages.

I wondered what Dragonfly was trying to tell me – that I will be getting my own set of double wings?  Or, that I will be flying high?  Both those ideas ring true.  Or, is Dragonfly trying to tell me that it is the journey that is the most fun?  My mind flashes with possibilities of light.  It feels like something big will happen.

It is hard to believe that some people think of Dragonfly as bad luck.  However, for some people, change is not good, and so bad luck is the label.  Change is not good or bad at the end of the day because it just is.  It is our response that attaches value to the situation.  

Maybe all the dragonflies are working to help me accept simply being in the moment of this day.  

Whatever the reason that Dragonfly has been showing up, I feel happier for seeing it, and I am grateful.

Blessings,

Judy

Butterfly on Metamorphasis

My dog and I were walking along the top of the hill, revelling in the hot sun, shining down on us so beautifully.  The warmth was so welcome after a week of rain.   My dog was trotting along, doing his thing, and the two of us were simply feeling happy and alive.  As we walked, two butterflies came out of no where, and flew on each side of us, much like an honour guard, holding in the space of happiness.  They stayed with us until we returned to the car.

I thought a lot about the sacredness of what the butterflies did for us – to keep us in that space of happiness and contentment.  I was so grateful.  And then I thought about what the butterflies are about – metamorphosis and change.  And, I started laughing!

You see, meta in the metamorphosis, is actually written “metta”, and means “Loving Kindness”.  If I did not get the connection, Spirit is determined that I understand this concept, because when I was listening to my Buddhist lesson, the Master talked about a colleague of his, Sister Metta, who, as her name suggested, carried loving kindness with her where ever she went.  She was a purveyor of change.

I realized that the Butterflies was moving us (my dog and me) forward into a stronger alignment with loving kindness. They were fanning us with new energy.  This seems like it is a great gift at this time of change.d Butterflies’ actions made me think of this writing by Buddha, "May you be at peace.  May your heart remain open.  May you awaken to the light of your own true nature. May you be healed.  May you be a source of healing to all beings."  The Metta of the Buddha

May each of you have a very transforming week!

Much metta,

Judy

Healing And Changing

This poster says:

When you can tell your story and it doesn’t make you cry, you know you have healed. -from NotSalmon.com

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

March is a time of big change for us because we go into Spring after a challenging winter..    As Mother Earth changes, it is a time for us to look at change.  Maybe, this is the time for you to practice some self healing.

The world is shifting at an ever changing pace.  The fears that are surfacing and then come to pass, are fears:

• about loosing one's identity, 
• about poverty including lack of food and/or money, 
• about people having power over you
• about lack of control
• about loosing what one has
• about pain and illness
• about doing the wrong thing
• about dying

Many of these fears may be overcome by spending some time learning how to do some quick, self healing.

Note that the self healing that will be discussed over the next month does not replace medical doctor's advice, and these blogs should not be taken as medical advice.

What these blogs are intended to do is to provide some coping mechanisms for the turmoil and pains that one might feel in their daily life.

Blessings,

Judy

Donkey’s Thoughts for You

Over the last several days, the picture of a Donkey has popped into my mind, or the word “donkey” has come up in conversation or on the radio.  Because this seems unusual, I gathered that Donkey had a message for me.   In my meditation, Donkey did come in and had some thoughts to share.

• This is a time to keep your ears open to listen for unusual sounds around you.  Often, one can hear things or hear about things before the “thing” happens.  Your ability to hear will help you move through 2025 with grace.
• Work on your endurance.  Donkeys are noted for their endurance in harsher conditions.  For you, the conditions will be changing constantly, and you will need to have some survival skills in place by the last half of the year.  Thus, you need to get fit.
• If you can’t swim, now is a good time to learn this skill.  Swimming is good exercise and allows you to get use to a different environment.  Sinking or swimming – it is all about choices.
• Keep your feet groomed.  This should be self explanatory.
• Eyes wide open is the motto for a donkey walking through strange territory.  This is a good time to start practising the skill of observation.  What looks out of place?  Why is it there?  What is the bigger picture?  Start now, and practise.
• Sleep when you can.  Short naps will help your endurance, and will give you extra physical strength.  Most beings do not get enough sleep.
• Donkeys are vegetarian.  It is the way our digestive system is set up.  Do not artificially change your diet.  Eat what is good for you and for your digestive system.  Most humans do not tolerate a wide variety of raw.  That is why you invented fire.
• Take time to commune with Creator.  It will help you remember that we are all connected.

Then, after sharing these thoughts, Donkey brayed goodbye and walked off into the desert.

Blessings,

Judy

Gopher It!

Sometime this week, you will be given a chance to do something different, something you would not ordinarily do.  It might be the rekindling of a great love, or the opportunity to work in a different career and still use the skills that you have accumulated over the years.  Or, it might be the chance to move to a different city, province, or country.  The Gopher’s guidance is…”Go for it!”   Nothing happens unless you make a choice to change your life.   Gopher knows that no matter how far you “dig” to try and change your life, much of life happens by being in the right place at the right time.  Some call this coincidence.  In Science, a coincidence is when two rays of light strike a surface at the same place at the same point of time.  Sounds like the Universe sending light, doesn’t it?  Moreover, Science refers to this event as non-casual.  In other words, there are not any events that lead up to it.

So, if you see a Gopher, or several Gophers, or, if you see a lightening strike, know that the Universe is giving you some warning that something unusual is about to happen.  It is up to you to choose to accept the gift, or not.

Blessings,

Judy

On Being Positive

One of my friends sent me information on positive change.  She thought that I might share it with people who look at my blog.   I went further and found that the information comes from Selacia.  Her advice is great.  The links to her site are at the bottom of the article.  Enjoy!

Accelerate Your Transformation

- Tips to Jump Start Positive Change - 
by Selacia

Tips to Jump Start Positive Change

1. Challenging Circumstances- When faced with a challenge, keep your focus in present time. Even if what you are experiencing began long ago, you want to respond with today's energy. As part of your lifelong process of transformation, your energy shifts from day to day. Insights and processing from last night's dreaming can provide you with fresh perspectives and more lightness of being. When looking at your challenge, invite your higher wisdom to guide you in applying a higher awareness and fully utilizing your current knowing. You may be pleasantly surprised with the positive results.  

2. A Time for Everything- Life is often so fast paced that it's common to feel behind schedule. Relax your body and mind for moments here and there as you intuitively check in about timings. Indeed, there's a time for everything. Remember this before jumping into your next activity. Oftentimes what you planned, no matter how important it seems, is best left until after you have done something else - which can be an activity or simply being still. Your heart and intuitively guided reason can show you the way. Check in with yourself to determine if what you planned for the day needs to shift, and then make adjustments. You will be happy you did.  

3. Manifesting Your Vision- As you pick the less traveled road for the next portion of your unique journey, inquire within to be sure that it's wide enough and extends far enough to accommodate your goals and expansive vision. As a divine changemaker, you are learning to express your highest potentials. Do not limit yourself to what your doubts tell you to settle for, or for what others have told you is possible. Embrace the expanded view spirit has for your life.  

4. Roadblocks- Consider that the roadblock you face is a symbol that you may need to update your view. Sometimes a detour or alternative approach is required. This may involve a different timing, implementing something you haven't yet thought of, or even abandoning your idea altogether. A divine changemaker learns to see roadblocks as opportunities for spiritual practice - they aren't the enemy; they may be a blessing in disguise.  

5. Positive Potentials - Each day carries within it a positive potential and energies you can apply for your own enlightenment. Connect with more of the positive potentials available by regularly acknowledging that they exist. This is easier on some days than others, of course. Even so, get into the habit of remembering this lighter side of being. A new opportunity waits each time you open your eyes in a new way - without expectations and without focusing on what you created before.  When you are open to the next wonderful surprise arriving on your doorstep - letting go of how and when it shows up - you become like a magnet for your own good.

The Tiredness That Over Whelms You!

 The information below is a message from the Angels that I received in a meditation. I think that many of us can relate to feeling an extraordinary tiredness at times.  When the tiredness hits me, I think that it is because of illness.  However, this seems to be a movement around the Earth.

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

Beloveds, we greet you!  We tell you that the great fatigue that you are all feeling is a result of the many changes that are happening in your body, in your etherics, and on the planet.  Yes, everything is going through modifications so that the Earth and each of you will be in harmony with the newness that is happening in the next several months.

Even humans that are not in the spiritual path are feeling that a big change is coming.  Interesting to us is that you all see the change as coming, as in the future.  Really, the change is happening and on going.  Perhaps you see it as the future because humans have trouble being in the now moment.  The Ancestors that existed on the planet even a thousand years ago had more time to be in the now moment.  Everything happened less on schedule and more on flow.

The big change that is taking place is that the magnetic alignment of the Earth and of the Universe, for that matter, is changing.  This means that the magnetic alignment of the human body is also changing.  The tug of war going on in your body is what is making you tired.  You may find that you feel ill, that you are putting on weight unexplainably, or that you are losing weight without reason, or that your vision changes and becomes blurred or quite clear.  All of these symptoms plus many others are contributing to the fatigue.

The solution is to go with the flow of fatigue and rest!  Rest will help you move through this more quickly than anything else.

Rest well and stay in the light.

The Angels
