Happy November 1 2025

As November kicks off, people in the Northern Hemisphere are settling in for Winter with its cold and snow and Christmas preparations.  

November is a good month for practicing "letting go" of things, feelings, and family/friends that no longer serve you.  Note that serve does not mean in the sense that they are your servants but in the sense that they do not provide any support or encouragement in your life.  If the person makes your life more difficult by demanding that you do this or that, then that person has an agenda that excludes any benefit to you.

For example, if you want to do something like take art classes and those around you tell you that it is a waste of money or that you do not have talent, then they are an example of someone that does not serve you.  Their most common comeback for what they say is, "I am just looking out for your best interest".  This is a falsehood because it would be in your best interest to experience something new.  They don't want you to move ahead or progress so they make up reasons to hold you back.

Generally, people are competitive and are afraid that you will do better than them, or, be better than them.  Therefore, individuals will try to hold you back, selfishly, so that you do not make them look unsuccessful or lazy or….

Many blessings,

Happy Halloween 2025

 

                    Halloween picture from 2019

In many cultures, people believe that All Hallows’ Eve is the best time to be able to talk to one’s ancestors because the veil between this third dimension and the other dimensions is at it’s weakest.  This means that the ancestor (and in some areas, other ghosts and unseen things) can be present on Earth.  

Many people in the Western World no longer believe that there is a connection to the ancestors at Halloween.  Instead, it is a time of dressing up either for a party (adults) or for trick or treating for children.  The spiritual aspect of the evening is not considered.  

Regardless of your practices, stay safe and enjoy your Halloween.

Blessings.

Leaving A Mark

 

A friend sent me this poster that says:  Leave a mark in someone’s life, but make sure it’s not a scar.  (The writer is unknown.)

She asked me what I thought that it meant.  She comes from a background of physical abuse and has many physical scars.  I was puzzled because I thought that the meaning might be obvious.  

I asked her what she was looking for in an answer to the question.  She said that she got the reference to being scarred physically by someone or some event like a car accident etc.  She felt that there was more to the very short, profound statement.

I replied that to me, it means always deal with everyone with kindness and respect.  For example, do not trample all over a child’s dreams of being an artist if their first attempts are not what we expect.  We have no way of knowing if that child might be the world’s greatest abstract artist.  As humans, we have to learn not to be so mean to everyone.  We need to find a way to accept the differences and find a way to reduce the violence towards our families, neighbours, and countrymen/women. 

She said that she liked my explanation, and left it at that.

Blessings,

Judy
