Gift from the Cosmos

A powerful synchronistic event, a full moon in Cancer on Christmas, brings us special opportunities to expand a loving attitude. 

Family can often pull on our heartstrings, especially during the holidays.  Allow this extraordinary, astrological placing to show us that FAMILY is our only treasure.

The Spiral

The spiral connects us to the primordial whirlpool of Creation.  Contemplate the enormity of this connection.

What does it mean to you?  Cycles of life, growth and evolution, Internal Wisdom coming to Light????????

Portals

Portals can be earthly structures that open to another reality or an ethereal doorway to a spiritual realm.

They are everywhere and in everything.  The next time we judge another, a portal opens for us to look into the mirror and find LIGHT and LOVE for our own mind.

Autumn's Reflections

As we reflect upon autumn's waning light and cessation of the growing cycle, it's a perfect time to look inside ourselves for renewal.  

Begin preparing for Yule on December 21st.  This is the longest night of the year that marks the start of a growing sun.  Celebrate it with fire and the colors of red and green.

Past, Present and Future

We can be mindful that the present is all there is, but still learn from the past and plan for the future.

Waste not, want not-- an old adage, especially valuable during current times.

Sacred Space

Only the Sacred Space can cultivate Peace on Earth. 

World chaos is calling for all of us to find our Inner Spirit, friend and foe alike.

There's Always Something

There will always be a fly in the ointment, a bug in the champagne.

When we learn to be flexible with everything unexpected,  we develop a continuous green light to move forward and never get stuck.

Imaginary Worlds

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.  - Carl Sagan

Every dream begins with a vision first. Be certain to include all the desired details as the Universe responds accordingly.

October's Fruition

October is a month of manifesting - make good use of it.

The veil between the Visible and Invisible worlds is very thin during this time.  We can access Internal Messages for success.

Winds of Change

Sometimes we just have to fortify ourselves and embrace the Invisible Forces behind changing circumstances.

The element of AIR carries our thoughts. The element of EARTH nurses them to fruition. 

Used wisely, we can change the world...and ourselves.

Finding Feathers

Many cultures view feathers with great symbolism. 

If a feather catches our attention, perhaps it is to remind us to be open to an opportunity on its way.

Wheel of Fortune

Just when we think our life is being propelled in one direction - the forces of change can switch it all up!

The secret to success is having a flexible mind, but all too often, we resist what we think is out of our control. We don't realize it is the ANSWER we have been wanting.

Thorny Gifts

Difficult  situations are what we actually want.

Subconsciously, we gift ourselves exactly what we need in order to abandon illusion and find Truth and Peace.

Sense of Purpose

Standing stones awaken wonderment; they seem to emit a sense of purpose no matter the season or conditions.

Stones represent the bones of the earth as  human bodies represent the vessels of Spirit. 

What are we emitting today?

Inner Strength

Even the seemingly most fragile of life forms is given a strong, internal force to allow it to thrive.

Humanity has dreamed this world we are living in.  Can you see your role in changing  it?

Heron Meditative Moment

If heron has captured your attention today, it reminds us to be sturdy and balanced, no matter what the circumstance.  It also shows us that we must find a way make use of what is available to us - there is an opportunity in everything!

Be the Bridge

We often have a choice--become part of the problem or be the bridge to a higher vibration and better outcome.

Our RESPONSE to every situation paves an invisible road for our future.

Personal Transformation

When butterfly enters your awareness, focus on where you can raise your life or consciousness to a more joyful and loving state.

Emotions carry vibrations.  Vibrations align themselves with similar energies.
Gratitude is the highest emotional TOOL we can have to change difficult circumstances.

In the Vastness

For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love  - Carl Sagan (Contact--the movie)

Lightness of Being

While in the air, dragonfly appears to soar in lightness despite the ever-present, heavy pull of gravity...

Difficult circumstances can weigh us down, but know that it is only a mental response.

Nature Provides

There would be abundance available to all if only mankind took care of the natural world and allowed it to replenish.

When we overstock our shelves, realize it is out of fear, not love.  A mind  in SPIRIT -- fears not.

Carpe Diem!

Seize the day--we will never have another like it, no matter how  it begins.   

Every minute offers a gift from the Universe.  Only when we are looking for it, will it appear.

Nothing Is What It Seems

Starfish squash

Knowledge is the lens that gives us the best chance to see what is true.

Without constant study, we roam this world with blinders on-- usually judging and hating everything we bump into.

Tomorrow's Harvest

A single thought can become tomorrow's harvest.

The mind operates by visualizing.  SEE first what you want, then do not let your thoughts stray from that image.

Contrasts

Nothing exists in itself.   -Herman Melville

Without the gray of the rock, we can't really appreciate the color of the flower. 

Without the rock's impenetrable hardness, we don't know how delicate the flower is. 

Judge less the things you don't understand and let them show you greater beauty in what you do understand.

The Eternal

Sometimes we get a sense of the eternal and that makes our petty ruminations seem pointless.

Sensing the eternal is not only different for everyone, it also never appears to us in exactly the same way each time. 

So move with confidence when you feel those running chills that your experience is as valid as what you read about in books-- because it is!

The Seeker

We travel, some of us forever, to see other states, other
lives, other souls.  -Anais Nin

Then we realize there is no need to travel anywhere--as all is inside us.

Old Assumptions

Begin challenging your own assumptions...your windows on the world.  Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.  -Alan Alda

Embrace today with new eyes to see the same thing differently.

Individuality

I think we have a right to change course. But society is the one that keeps demanding we fit in and not disturb things.
- Anais Nin
Be a History Maker and stand up for Peace.

Have Confidence

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you have imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

Go For It!

When the right situation is perfectly lined up by the Universe, we just have to act on all the new possibilities being presented. 

Become "Miracle Ready" every day.

Beginnings and Endings

Early spring day


Facebook: Facebook/LL Cartin-writer

Nature in late fall appears the same as early spring.  As is the way with life -- where does an emotion, opinion, a value or trend, even one's personal space, etc. begin or end?

Life is a relative continuum.  Live in the flow. 

Unexpected Gifts

Unexpected gifts may come in the form of spontaneous laughter, sudden inspiration, Nature’s beauty, life-changing insights, momentary feelings of Universal connection or a crystal clear, star-studded night.  And they are ALL free! 

Gifts may also come in the form of some disturbance that causes us to look within.

The Road Not Taken

       Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
       Took the one less traveled by,
       And that has made all the difference.
       - Robert Frost

Celebrate Our Planet!

As the earth awakens from her slumber -- so must we!  Honor Earth Day, April 22nd.  

If each of us did just one act of consciousness for our planet, it would make a world of difference. We can plant, clean up, use less of everything, switch to green or pursue any of a thousand other thoughtful ideas.
