Being a Kickass Woman

The poster says:

THE KICKASS WOMAN’S MANIFESTO FOR SPARKLICIOUS LIVING

I AM STRONG - I have walked through hell and kept walking.  I know my weaknesses.

I AM WORTHY - It took me a long time to believe that.  I’ve worked through my “Unworthiness”.

I AM BEAUTIFUL - And no one needs to convince me of that anymore.  I have dropped the illusion of not enough.

I AM (IM) PERFECT - I have imperfections but that doesn’t make me imperfect.  I am PERFECT as I am.

I AM ME - I thought that I was lost and alone, but now I realize that I was always with me.

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

The last four months have been a challenging one for me.  I have had some health challenges that have slowed me down and depleted my energy.  We are enjoying time with friends and family as much as we can.

Spirit, as you know, always sends you things to put your life into perspective.  The poster in the above picture helped me to put things into something that I understood: I am the perfect person to be doing what I am doing right now.  The Universe/Creator made me strong and intelligent so that I could deal with the things that were being rained upon me.  And, I am doing what I need to do.

I know that all of mankind is at a time of making decisions about dealing with family issues and with friend relationships.  I know that many seniors will leave the planet and that we must be prepared for that.  I know too, that we will be besieged with currents of energy that play our bodies out.

With all of this, I feel quite happy to move forward into the fall.  It is a perfect time for change.

Blessings,

Judy

Coming From the Sun

When we feel the changes of this day, know that all of the light is coming through the portal of the Sun from many stars and planets, with the guidance of the Archangels and Guardian Angels.  The Moon and Stars and Planets are now able to shift even more light, healing light, to the small planet Earth for – you guessed it – healing!  The light and the love that shines down on us is magnificent.  Creator – Great Spirit is part of us and shines this for itself as well as for us.  We get the same light as the water and trees and plants and rocks and mountains, and all the animals, fish, birds, and creepy-crawlies.  We are all connected in Love. 

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.

Wisdom Of Frog

“The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives.” – Sioux Proverb

I heard this saying the other day, and it made me laugh!  Then, it made me feel sad.  I could see that the irony is that man has done exactly what the frog will not do.

Creator has given us – human beings – an amazing abundance of food, environments, mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans.  The beauty that we have around us, naturally, exceeds what one can create artificially, in my opinion.

I remember one of my teachers saying that God created animals to monitor and to teach humans.  The story went on that some of the animals quit working with man because they found him too difficult.  

I wonder whether the scarcity, the lack of abundance in many places, is Mother Nature saying that she is tired of all the “do-overs” that mankind seems to need?

What pond will you avoid drinking from?

Blessings,

You Are All Creators!

 

The poster says:  Stay inspired.  Never stop creating.

Art is making something out of nothing and selling it.  --Frank Zappa

I have been sitting in my office in the evening, to do accounting tasks like paying bills and updating budgets, and find myself doodling on scratch pads, or thinking about quilting, or even pulling out my wood carving stuff.

What I realized was that my creative, imaginative, “Me” was wanting out!  It wants to come out and play, and draw, and make beautiful patterns, and satisfy something that I have been supressing as I have been trying to get my year end completed.

Let’s face it – accounting is required but not fun the way carving and quilting are fun.  Creator is reminding me that I need to honour my ability to create on a more regular basis than I have been.  When you look at the things that archaeologists dig up and that get put in museums, you can see that man has created since the beginning of time.

Maybe that is why there are so many unhappy people in the world – they don’t have time to create.  I think that creating something – a cake, dinner, art, music, or whatever, is part of what keeps each of us alive.  I think that when we don’t create, that we become depressed.  I think some people have had creativity stifled in them so much that they don’t know that the “I am missing something” feeling is really their need to create something.  Each time that we create, we leave our mark.  

I would like to see our world change to give us more time to create things just for ourselves.  I think that we can meditate to see what we should create next.  I believe that all creative tasks should be done from a state of love.  

As a side story, I wanted to make meatballs for our potluck dinner the other night.  However, I was running out of time.  So, I went to the store and bought a box of frozen meatballs and a bottle of Diane Original sauce.  At home, I mixed the two together, and then before popping the casserole dish in the oven, I waved my hands over the dish and said, “Love, love, love, little meatballs.  Think love.  Think love when you are cooking and think love when you are being added to someone’s plate, and think love through the whole experience.”  I had so many compliments on my meatball dish!  I think I was very creative.

Have a wonderfully creative day and go out and make your mark!

Judy

The Truth of Life Is In Our Hands

I was thinking about our hands and how we use our hands in healing sessions – we use them to comfort, to support, to transmit energy, to caress, to tap, and even to hold back energy.  Our hands often act, it seems, of their own accord.  This means that they act instinctively, and that they do not act from the brain.  Think about the number of times that you have said one thing and that your hands have done another thing – a variation on the right and left hand not knowing what the other is doing.  In fact, sometimes our brain does not know what our hands are doing.

Think about the times you are happy.  You will clap your hands.  You don’t think about it, you just do it.  Or, if you are sad, or excited, or extremely moved, you may fold your hands over your heart.  If you are scared, you may protect yourself by placing your hands over your stomach or belly; or, you may wrap    your arms around your self and and pat your arms to comfort yourself.  

When someone is hurting, we instinctively put our hands on their back or their head or their shoulders and stroke the person to comfort them.  We use our hands to wave at people, and show them we are happy to see them.  We even use our hands to salute to show honour to people.  When we mean no harm, we show our hands, palm up.

Nature gave us five digits on our hands.  Five is the number for getting things done.  The thumb is almost useless by itself. However, when we use it with the four fingers, we have a tool that allows us to dig, to pick fruit and vegetables, to make meals, to bake, to build, to sew, to create, and to love.
The hands, then become interesting because they will always show us, and others, exactly what is going on in our physical and emotional body.  And, that physical and emotional feeling may be quite different than what our mental body (mind, ego) is saying.  The hands show our gratitude to Creator, and gratitude to those around us, by the service that they do for our selves and for others.  Our hands are about life. The truth of our life is in our hands. And, that is a good thing.

No Need For Temples

Picture of the Dali Lama from http://www.joenolan.com/2008/10/no-mas-for-dalai-lama.html

This is my simple religion.  There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.  Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.  Dalai Lama, 1935 - -now.

I saw this on a quote page as I was scrolling through web sites.  This is the same philosophy that the indigenous people and their Shaman, Medicine Woman/Man, Wiseones, Mystics, etc. use around the world.  Indeed, there is no need for temples. We are all connected to Creator and vice-versa.  We are connected with everything in creation, if only we can find a way to hear or see or feel or remember.

As we get caught up in the drama around us, we forget to look inside for the answers.  For thousands of years, the teaching has been to look outward. 

If you look around, does it seem to you that the world is getting kinder?  Does it also seem that more and more people are moving away from the old fashioned religion?  Yes, many of the individual church congregations are creating their own philosophy for their church and the people.  It includes new ways of doing things and bringing energy healing into the church.  It is perfect for this time.

May kindness guide your day!

Many blessings.

Siberian Tiger on Sharing

 

The wonderful thing about meditating is that it opens your mind to a wide variety of ideas, and takes you to different dimensions so that you can understand all that there is about being connected.  Sometimes, however, a meditation will take me to surprising places.

Today’s meditation dropped me in the snow somewhere on a mountain side close to two Siberian Tigers.  I was a bit startled.  So were they!  After snarling and growling, they finally stopped and shook their heads.  I could see that an explanation was needed.  So, I told them that by mistake, (yes, I know there are no mistakes), I seemed to have overshot my happy meditation retreat, and landed in their hunting territory.  Benji, the larger tiger, basically said, “No way!”  And, I replied, “Yes, way.”  

To help the situation along, I asked them if they had anything that they wanted to share with me since Tigers are known to be such excellent teachers.  The Tigers reflected for several minutes, and said that they would like to share about sharing.  Here are their comments:

• Although it is easy to be on your own, and it is easy to live a solitary life, everything becomes easier with a companion to share the road.  Hunting is easier, although one needs to do it more frequently, and rest time is more secure because there is two or more, of us.
• When you are on your own, sometimes you miss things around you because of being focused.  When you share the road, the other being usually helps you to see more; to be more alert about the environment.  This is a very practical thing.
• When you can share the work of hunting, or peeling off the meat from a hunt, your body takes less of a beating.  It is good to share the work.
• Sharing a meal is a good way to remind yourself that you must be grateful for the food in your life – what you call “abundance”.
• When you are hurt, another Tiger can help you with your healing by licking the wound, protecting you, and bringing you food.
• It is tough to learn to share, and worth the effort.
• It is in the nature of most animals to share to keep the species alive.  
• Creator is causing changes in all of us to make sharing easier, I think.
• All of the ancestors were good at sharing and hunted in packs.  The food did not go as far, but it was more frequent.

The Tigers said that they must return to their hunt.  I popped back to my meditation cushion, and realized that I felt quite cold.  I felt that I had a very interesting journey.

Blessings,

Judy

Today’s Word - Responsibility

The Poster says:  Responsibility — No single drop of water thinks it is responsible for the flood. —Author Unknown

In this time, we all have work that we must do.  Creator is urging everyone to now take responsibility for their own lives.

• Be accountable to yourself.  The onus is on you for who you are and what you have created.
• Others are responsible for themselves.  Do not try to take away their journey by making decisions for them, or assuming responsibility.
• Remove yourself from victimhood.  You have choices in your life that you can make everyday, in every moment.  And, you can take responsibility for them.
• Make mistakes and acknowledge them as a learning experience that adds to your wisdom.

Blessings,

Judy

Be A Happiness Engineer

The message from Creator and the Angels today, is about creating happiness for yourself.  Think of all the great monuments in the world, and that they were built by architects, engineers, and willing builders.  

Each day, you can be the architect of your day, and plan happiness.  Each day, you can be the engineer that makes happiness happen by looking at all the things that are in your life – the abundance, the home, the family, the friends, and even the dog, and seeing that everything, not just ONE thing, does contribute to happiness.  All of the components are the willing builders that work with you to build happiness, if you allow them to be part of your life.  This means that you do not control them, but, you can suggest to them all the things that build happiness.

Blessings,

Judy

Good Advice In These Quotes

 

                         Picture is of the fall colours from the Banff Summit 

  

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."  -Leo F. Buscagilia

  

"Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing."   -G. M. Trevelyan

I found these two quotes and felt that I needed to share them today, to remind everyone that what we feel guided to do is often what Creator needs us to do.  And, when we interfere with someone’s path because of our own limitations – saying that it can’t be done  -  we have no idea of the repercussions of our actions.

Be at peace and celebrate everything!

Angels Talk About Picking Up The Pieces

                                                            Picture from stock.free.org 

 The Angels say that when things do not go the way that we thought they would, and our world seems in pieces, it is the time to pick up the pieces.  

When our world falls apart, it is because we have attached too much significance to the different events in our lives, or to the outcome of a set of events.  This is the problem with being attached.

Often, when everything falls apart, it is an opening for Great Spirit to send something new your way because you have now opened the door, and you are not closed to something new happening.  

When you pick up a piece of a puzzle, most often, you do not immediately know where it fits.  This is exactly what happens when Creator sends you little experiences that are outside of your comfort level.  You do not know how it fits, and yet it does.  If we had a big enough capacity to view everything, we could see immediately where this new “thing” fits.

So, take each new experience, and celebrate it, instead of locking it up somewhere.  Let go of that kind of control.  Be joyful around each day!

Many blessings,

Judy

Skunk’s Support

One of the things that Creator worked with me on is to understand how to change our lives.  Creator lead me through a meditation-journey.  Part of the journey was meeting up with a Spirit Animal guide who will help me through the changes.

My spirit guide was Skunk.  I thought this was odd because I have an aversion to very strong smells.  However, as we sat on the beach of the river, side by side, I grew accustomed to Skunk’s odour, and actually even found it comforting.

Some of the ideas that Skunk conveyed were:

• You need to be di-stinct.  Be comfortable being different.  Distinguish your self by your smell, your appearance, and your actions.
• You need to follow your in-stinct.  When something smells wrong, know that it is wrong and do not look to fix it.  Walk away!
• If you are indi-stinct, it is difficult to be a teacher-leader.  This is the time to show your skills and to share them.

Skunk went on to share some other thoughts that I need to sort through for a while.  

If you have thoughts on Skunk’s appearance by my side, please send me your comments.

Many blessings,

Brotherhood and Healing

My two words for the day are “brotherhood” and “healing”.  My first thought was, “Wow, that is a far-out combination!”  Then I realized that the only way to heal is to incorporate the concept of “brotherhood” into our lives.   Brotherhood means “the belief that all people should act with warmth and equality toward one another, regardless of differences in race, creed, nationality, etc.”.  This definition comes from dictionary.reference.com.

Brotherhood is hard for most of us to incorporate into our lives because we believe that most people have one of these attributes: they should listen to us, but don’t; they aren’t as smart as us; they are worthless; they are lazy; they are losers; they are control freaks; and, they are too much trouble.  That is quite a list of judgements that we have about people. 

I realize that my big task is to look at my life and who I work with, and accept them as is, in brotherhood, so that I can speed up any self healing that I have left to do.  As well, I need to work with the people that Creator puts in my path so that I can see what lessons I need to learn.  Learning brings a great peace to our lives.  This makes me think about a slide that a friend sent me.  Here it is.  I wonder if it is also saying that we have a chance to clear Karma with that person.

I will continue to mull over this idea of Brotherhood and healing, and work to walk this talk.

Many Blessings,

Judy

Blue Jay Sings From The Tree Tops

                   

When we were out for our walk at Christmas, my dog and I were regaled by five Blue Jays, sitting at the tops of pine trees and nearby shrubs.  Their song sounded like “get ready, get ready, it’s here”, and it sounded like they were speaking of spring.  Or, maybe they meant that the days were now getting longer.

As we continued our walk, I could see the Sun shining through the trees, and it looked like the Sun had gotten bigger.  I remembered what I read from a mystic’s channelling – to pay attention to the Sun because it knows what it is doing.  And then I remembered that one of the legends about the Blue Jay.  The Blue Jay has its colour from flying back and forth between the Earth and the Heavens and that Creator gave it the colour, blue, to represent all the truth that it carried.

This made me think that Blue Jay was once again carrying the truth of great energies hitting the Earth, and that Blue Jay was telling all humans to prepare for the onslaught of light.

Winter Solstice Dec 21 2023

Winter solstice is a time to reflect on what you love to do, and find a way to make it happen.  When we are happy, our light – that spark of irrepressible energy that makes us all unique – shines brightly.  Solstice is about being inward focused and concentrating on expanding the self.

We all want success and well being.  Winter is the time to reflect on making it happen, and then offering up these energies at Solstice, to Creator, to make everything happen.

Here is a wonderful prayer/song for you to use today and all days when you need strength.

 

Yule Prayer Song

Mother Earth
I offer to you this song
For I am earth
and to the Earth, I belong
Mother Earth
help me grow as you need me to
Mother Earth
show me what I am here to do

Cause I am growing, I am changing
on this darkest day
I am growing, I am changing
in my darkest place
I am growing, I am changing
on this darkest day
I am growing, I am changing
in my darkest place
Blessed Be!

Angels Talk About Revenge

The information below is what I received in a channel quite a while ago.  I was going through some old writing and found this channel that seems as relevant today as it did back then.

Blessings,

Judy

Dearest Ones!  We delight in all that you do.  We see you take on tasks that seem to be impossible, and we see you make the world work.  We see that you have learned to fly higher and faster even though you do not have wings.  We see you have compassion for beings that cannot speak.

What we do not understand is your need to have “revenge”.  Revenge, from what we see is about inflicting punishment in return for some real or imagined injury or insult. Revenge is about “not love”.  Love does make the world go round.  Revenge is someone deciding to play Creator and change the course of another individual's life by deciding that they must “pay” for something.  

We say to you, would you want someone making decisions like this for your life?  Do unto others!  Revenge is really about temper – anger.  It is about not getting your way.  It is about interfering with the path of others.  Yes, you can say that it is your path.  However, in this life, each of you has a choice to make.  This life is about choices.  If revenge is your ch(joy)oice, then you will be on this treadmill of life for a long time.  

Enjoy life and do not seek revenge.  It will create more karma for you, and it will interfere with the love vibration.  We the Archangels tell you that it is so.

Take a Nap and Let God Do the Rest!

One of my friends sent this to me, and it made me think of all the times that I have heard, “Quit trying so hard!  You are getting in the Creator’s way.”  

This bear obviously has heard this before and knew when to get out of the way.

Laughter and blessings,

Judy

 

This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway .

It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and  Donner Pass on Route 40.  A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge ( Old Hwy 40 at  Donner Summit , Truckee ) on Saturday when two cars, also  crossing the bridge, scared the bear into jumping over the  edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge  and was able to pull itself to safety. Authorities decided  that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they  returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on  the ledge.  After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized,  fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net. There is a moral to this story; this old bear made  a wrong move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow  he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw he  was in a very bad, impossible situation and what did he do?  Yep, he took a nap and sure enough, God took care of the  situation while he was asleep.  The moral of the story is that when confronted with a bad  situation, sometimes the best solution is to take a nap and  let God take care of the rest.

Being Mindful Every Day

When the breeze blows, and the smell of the ocean falls over the land, and brushes my face, I think about being mindful.  We all fully expect to mindful or fully present when we are in meditation.  Yet, when I was sitting in my space the other day, Creator moved in and asked me to be more mindful everyday.  

My first thought was, “I am”.  And, I heard this booming laugh.  

And then I remembered that one of the teachings of Spirit is the understanding of “I AM”.

I then thought, what if I just say, “I am mindful.”

With that thought, a rush of energy lifted me and flowed through me.

Being mindful every day means that you are fully aware of what is around you.  It is paying attention to the small children, the homeless man, and the smell of smoke in the air.  It is finding that balance and shifting from being focused in your mind, on your own things, to shifting to the environment and seeing the inter-connectedness of all things.    It is being aware that we are not alone, and that we are part of the whole.

If you have the trait of being observant and paying attention, you are mindful.  If you are always in victim mode, you are blaming.  Being mindful is rewarding.  Try it.

Blessings, 

Judy

Humour and Love

In my meditation this morning, the two words of the day are LOVE and HUMOUR.  At first, I had a difficult time putting the two thoughts together.  I don’t normally think of Love as funny.  Yet, on reflection, I realize that my three days with my sister and her family were filled with lots of love and much laughter (humour), because we found everything funny.  We were together and we felt that hint of invincibility that comes from being one family.  

I then thought back to the the last group meditation that we did several months ago and realized that the same feeling was there – Humour and Love  -  because we all enjoyed one another so much and we had the same, off beat, view of life.  We talked and laughed and shared.  

I bow to Creator/Great Spirit for once again being able to teach a wonderful lesson to me through the use of two words.  

This was a very healing lesson.

Blessings,

Judy
