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.

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.

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

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 poster says:
Every day, thank as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can. —- Dalai Lama

What a beautiful mission statement to live by! Would it not be wonderful if more people and more corporations could live in this manner?

The picture above is taken during a huge hail storm that looks like snow, on June 20 2026. The hail lasted about twenty-five minutes and shredded leaves and knocked leaves and some branches off trees, and changed the temperature to cold. What a day!
Now is a good time to remember that weather (whether) it is summer or fall or winter or spring, Nature is where we must go to balance and to regenerate.
We humans do not own the Earth; we are of the Earth. The earth’s minerals and water flows through us. We lose the Earth connection in the cities and even in rural areas – anywhere where life is “rushing” and where daily routines create stress and anxiety.
If you feel stress and anxiety, then now is the time to slow down. Now is the time to step out into Nature to bring down the stress level. All is well.

Early in school, we learn that the day starts in the country with the Rooster crowing up the Sun, and telling the animals and humans that day is starting. From that place, think of Rooster as the Master of Ceremonies for each day. Rooster crows that “a really big show is starting” and that truly describes the miracles that happen each day.
Unfortunately for many people, because their head is down, and because they are self absorbed, they miss the beginning of the show. They miss the commentary by the master of ceremonies, and they miss the magic and the miracles. If people do pay attention, they focus on those things that are dark and appear broken.
What if you had a rooster to awaken you each day to the beauty of the rising Sun? What if you could harness the energy of the miracles? What would you do?
Do it now!

I have been hearing from many people who are having experiences with OWL. While they may be surprised at this, I am not because our stories and legends are full of stories about Owls working with humans. One of my favorite stories is the version of Merlin that has Archimedes, the Owl, as one of his teachers.
Hawk Owl’s current advice is:

The penguins at the Calgary Zoo are now doing their penguin walk daily at 10:30am, weather permitting. Watching the penguins is a joyful activity and brings smiles to most everyone. I received my reminder to go to watch the penguins and it made me think of their activities.
King Penguins live in the Antarctic and the very southern tips of countries close to the Antarctic. Their numbers are huge Рin the millions Рand their colonies are very large. It is easy to become parted from your friends Рthose chicks that you grew up with in the cr̬che. Finding a friend after several years is an unusual occurrence and one that has some of the same ceremony that human reunions have.
King Penguin shows us that:

This young chimpanzee reminds all of us that nurturing is cross species. The care of the young is the number one priority. This means that humans should fight against other humans exploiting, or harming, or killing, or otherwise damaging children. The child is malleable. Those who crave power will start with children because of their malleability.
Our Ancestors raised children as a village. It seems that we have forgotten how to do this. We blame – parents, teachers, the government, and even the children themselves for the wrongs that are done to children.
Today, take a step to nurturing your children, your neighbour’s children, and the global tribe of children.
Are you able to do this?

Merry Christmas to each of you! May today be filled with peace, love, and humour. This Christmas is a bit different for us as our dog who turned fourteen years old a short time ago, is now in his final days. He has taught us so much over the years. And, he has taught others too, about loving and accepting new people to your life.
I think that dogs are the only beings that interact with humans that know that Christmas, and every other day of the year, is about love.
The message that came through my meditation was all around love, and especially love with compassion and without limits. All dogs seem to have that unbelievable ability to love unconditionally and with a sense of compassion that I marvel at.
This Christmas, I noticed that the number of people walking dogs in our off leash park has increased. I look at the faces of the people with dogs, and those without, and I see that dog owners seem to be more relaxed, and they seem to be happier with what they are doing.
I chatted with several new comers to the dog walking trail, and found that they had decided that rather than give a lot of presents, that they would adopt a dog for Christmas. They were finding it challenging to fit in many activities plus a new dog, however, all were happy with their choices.
I wonder, sometimes, how the Universe lines up these pairings of people and dogs. I wonder how long it takes to get to that place where the right dog and the right people are finally able to live out their contract. I wonder what happens when a matching does not happen.
I am so very glad that dogs are working with humans. We are all better off, I think.
Blessings,
Judy
Believe with all of your heart that you will do what you were made to do. - Orison Swett Marden (Author of fifty or more books and booklets)
*********************************
There is a common question that many ask – the question is “What is my purpose?” It is very difficult for another to answer something that is so personal to your soul contract.
A Course In Miracles (ACIM) (written by Helen Schucman) is a book that talks a bit about life’s purpose. Summarized the ACIM definition of life purpose is to be the best human that you can be. To be that best person does not mean you have to write a book, or be a musician, or a great politician, or healer. It means that you have to be as kind, compassionate, and forgiving as you can, every day.
I think that many people confuse their gifts – singing, art, writing, leading, or whatever the gift is, with their life purpose. I think that one’s gift can help them be the best human they can be. My observation is that many people sacrifice their human-ness for their gifts, believing that they are answering a higher calling. The relationship wreckages left along the way make their calling suspect.
However, each person has the right to follow their path, and to do it without explaining it to anyone.
May you find your way.
Blessings,
Judy
The poster says:
A woman’s highest calling is to lead a man to his soul so as to unite him with Source.
A man’s highest calling is to protect woman so she is free to walk the earth unharmed. - Cherokee Proverb
*********************
It seems that the Earth is in a time of rebalancing the relationships – between Mother and child, and Father and child, and husband and wife, and between humans and humans, and between humans and other animals.
This Proverb of the Cherokee rings true for me. In all the animals, the male protects the female, especially when the woman is carrying offspring. Humans more than any other animal seem to have forgotten the role of the protector. The Protector has become the hunter of women and children and the abuser of those he is to protect.
May you be protected by a champion. If you are a champion, may you walk with grace.
Blessings,

The poster says, “ Done is better than perfect.”
Buddhism asks us to go beyond the self, not to perfect the self. - Dharmavidya David Brazier, "Living Buddhism"
It is difficult to really know what perfectionism is. We all seem to know what is not perfect. We constantly say, “Well, it’s not perfect!”
We are such ego driven beings – we humans think that we know what perfection is.
The Angels tell us that each of us is perfect the way we are. If this is true, then why do others wish to change us?
Maybe that is why more and more people live alone. Then, they don’t have anyone constantly telling them what is wrong with them.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could say, “Here is what is right about you….”

Just this week, I watched a flock of geese congregate in the water. It looked like they were having a meeting about when to leave to go south, and a discussion about whether they needed to start practice flights. The geese reminded me of an encounter with geese about ten years ago. So, I went and looked up what I had written back then. Here is what I wrote….

As I walked along the Bow River, a very large Canada goose came out of the water and stood on the edge of the snow shelf and chatted with me. He and his flock did not go south. He had lots to say.

An interesting thing happens to humans when they hear a wolf howl; they respond. Sometimes with fear and usually with an intense longing to be free. In fact, humans like the sound of the wolf so much that the howls and yips are now incorporated in to much music.
One of my friends believes that it is because we all have wolf memories. He thinks that we have some wolf mixed into our genes. His reasons are:

Rattlesnake has been winding it’s way into my meditations over the last two weeks. Rattlesnake is a very strong Spirit Guide. She brings many gifts to increase your power and abilities. Not only does she blend into her surroundings, she knows how to stay silent and to be still when danger is around. Hawks, weasels, and other snakes are just some of the predators that love to include Rattlesnake in their diet.
I asked Rattlesnake about the gifts that she brings to working with a human. She grinned. She said that many humans reject working with her because they are frightened of her. She is a tough teacher and guide. Her gifts, she said, are:
I thanked Rattler for coming in to see me. She asked that if you are interested in talking to her, that you call her into your meditation, and that you chat. Do not be surprised if she tests you.

Today, a Black Bear mother popped in to say that she had a few words to say about humans and their view of Black Bear. She said that humans see the black bear as angry, confrontational and destructive. She feels sad about this.
Her view is that humans interfere too much in the lives of Black Bear, especially when she is with her cubs. She will do anything to protect her cubs from over zealous humans. And, these humans call her angry and destructive.
Black Bear says, “Give us our space. Honour our role in creation and in the maintenance of the wild. Treat us with respect and we will not become angry that you are in our space. Give us time to raise our young, and then we will disappear to the higher country. We must be at lower levels to show our little ones how to hunt and feed the food that is not higher. It is what it is.”

“You cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To "have" running water you must let go of it and let it run.” Alan Watts from The Wisdom of Insecurity.
Over the last several months, I have been working on understanding the Buddhist concept of “attachment”, and at the same time, I have been working on understanding all the things that I am attached to. I am finding that attachment comes in many forms. It does seem to be about being attached to things being a certain way. If I can get to a point where I accept all things and allow them to be as they are without my ideas of how they should be, then I will be free of attachment. I hope to get there by letting go of one attachment at a time.
As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery. We have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger and attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion, a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

A while ago, I was driving my husband to his conference, and we saw a big, black squirrel. It was running across the road, and before it reached the other side, it stopped and looked at us intently, then hurried away, and up a tree.
Surprised by it’s actions, I thought about Squirrel, and all the various things that Squirrel is about. I thought about the Proverb, “Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes”. And then, I wondered why a Squirrel would be blind. The Squirrel that crossed the road was not blind. It seemed to see exceptionally well. A picture of a peanut, and then a chunk of bread crossed my vision. Squirrel was connecting to me across the ethers. I made my husband peanut butter on seed muffins for a snack later in the morning.
Now that we were on the same frequency, Squirrel sent me a series of rapid images that may be translated as a message. She was saying that where we live is soon going to be filled with bounty. This is a change from the historical, dry, arid conditions that Calgary has had. With the rain, all things are growing lush, even gardens that looked to be drowned out at one point. Squirrel says to get ready to deal with our bounty. Find ways to use it and share it. Squirrels have a history of hiding what they find, concerned only for their own well being. She tells us that the only way humanity will continue is if we learn to share because most humans do not know how to forage like the squirrels forage.
Blessings,
Judy
