A Season of Hope

While we face a grueling winter of cold and extended darkness, the earth is preparing for a season of renewal and light.

The very nature of HOPE is seeing what can be.

The Woodpile by Robert Frost

Poet Robert Frost found a cord of stacked wood neatly piled in the midst of the woods. He mused over what it represented to him--order with purpose in the wildness of his surroundings.  

In our world of chaos, we must also find Sacred Order, hidden from our ordinary senses.

Magic of Plenty

The symbolism of the Cornucopia, “horn of plenty,” is always around us. We don’t have to limit its use to one season, as Nature reflects constant abundance.

Any time of year, consider making a   Basket for someone, filled with thoughtful treats.

Dear Daphne,

The holiday season often causes our emotions to stir more than usual. 

Might I help you see your situation in a brighter light?

Fall's Berries

Fall's berries -- some are for eating, healing or just a last blast of colorful seeds before long, cold nights are upon us.
 

The ancients saw this as a magical time, and celebrated its fruition. We have to adjust to the coming harshness of winter, knowing Spring will bring renewal.

How do you use this special time?

Spiders Everywhere!

Spiders — think of them as weavers of their own destiny.  

In Daphne’s Web, each character is part of an intricate plan orchestrated by a ghost. Like strands of a web, their lives are woven into a reality that concludes in a stunning outcome.

We, too, are the architects of our life, moving in the direction of success, one step at a time.

Autumn Reflection

Pumpkins are bountiful, beautiful, and fun. They appear as we prepare ourselves for colder, darker days.

Autumn is a transitional time to enjoy childhood memories of fun traditions and create new ones. We are reminded to be open to different ideas — a dark green pumpkin, anyone?  As we settle in for winter, our pumpkin muse might provide insight into keeping our attitude positive and productive. 

Can you share a pumpkin tradition?

It's Our Choice

Every decision we make brings us to a new point on our journey — for better or worse.

 

Good News: No matter where we end up, we can always “choose again.”

Dragonfly Spirit

Dragonfly carries the wisdom of transformation and adaptation. It is able to move through the air with agility and power, but built to be light and delicate.

We can learn from the dragonfly once we understand all it has manifested in its short life…transformation from water nymph to flying creature.

In equally as splendid a way, we can manifest too!

Dancing with the Light

When we allow more Light into our experiences, our experience of Light 

becomes more extraordinary.

Butterfly Dreams

Butterfly in a dream represents a personal transformation has begun.

Feeling stuck??? It might be time to trust your intuition and make a change beyond what you usually do.

Raising Vibrations

 Roses and angels share a similar electrical frequency.

 

Have you ever smelled the scent of roses when none were present? Did you think of someone in Spirit when it happened?  Like many things in Nature, roses can be loving messages from the Other Side.

The Illusion

We depend upon our 5 senses to understand the world. However, things are rarely what they seem and we soon learn we have only been looking at an illusion.

Can we choose again?  Are we willing to drop our beliefs, perceptions, opinions about everything?  If not, nothing will change.

Rabbit Spirit

Has rabbit crossed your mind or your path?  Perhaps he has a message for you.  If you are confused or in a rut, his quick reactions and sense of direction can inspire you to do something rather than nothing.  

Rabbit can also be a sign for abundance. Get ready to RECEIVE!

Metaphysical Mind

Be as an empty vessel each day. 


Until we recognize how many beliefs we harbor in our mind, we cannot RECEIVE anything new.  Quantum Energy is stunted. Dreams will not easily manifest.  The Law of Attraction will not properly work until we CHOOSE something new.

The Thistle

Queen Anne’s lace, the flower, is symbolic of protection, strength, grounding and dream following.  The thistle has stored-up energy held in its seeds—with promises of the next bloom.

What promises do your dreams hold?

Finding Balance

Happiness and success are dependent upon finding balance and harmony.


Only through CONCENTRATION and MEDITATION can we release chaos of the outer world and obtain Inner Peace.

Keeping On

Never give up on a goal.  

Feeling defeated? We usually give up the moment BEFORE manifestation is about to happen.

Bee Spirit

The bee is a perfect model of productive energy and community, always finding the nectar to sustain itself and work for the greater good.

Bee energy transforms us into History Makers.  New beginnings are on the horizon. Take full advantage of astrological shifts at this time in history.

Perfection Not Necessary

We don't need perfection in order to be creative.

The irony of life is that our IMPERFECTION usually opens a portal to Higher Mind--but only when we stop complaining and become proactive with our circumstances.

Energy Shift

When we do the “work” on ourselves— increasing awareness and staying positive—there will be an energy shift.

The new, higher “vibration” will make us feel more alive, lighter, and ready to make our dreams manifest.

Power of Three

3 represents Power.

Various cultures and religions find meaning in the number 3. 

Esoteric Knowledge teaches the 3 is Divine Feminine Energy found in all physical manifestation. She UNDERSTANDS THE IDEA before form takes place. She is the first principle to take action before form is seen on earth.

Never Really Alone

Sometimes when we feel lost or alone, the Universe sends a message our way.

Synchronicity, coincidence, new ideas,  opportunities, etc. are Gifts to Lift.

Be An Angel

NOW is always the right time to do something loving.

Kindness and generosity change everything, not only for the individuals we acted upon, but for the entire Universe.  Be someone’s angel today.

Symbol of Renewal

Robin is connected to Spring, when all growth begins anew. If robin catches your attention, there might be a message in the connection. Are you holding on to something so nothing new can come through?

Robin song is cheerful and can lift our spirit.

Earth Day

We all have a part in caring for the planet.  


We can plant, recycle, use nontoxic products, waste less and ??  Do you have something special to contribute?

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Solitude

Solitude does not necessarily bring loneliness.  

If we can feel complete when  alone, we're aware of our Spirit Self.

Luminescence

Have you ever felt your world shifted and colors were brighter or objects had more light?  
 

The metaphysical world operates differently than our ordinary realm. When consciousness shifts to a higher vibration, we can see beyond matter to a beautiful luminescence, the matrix which forms all things.

Clay Beneath Our Feet

There is a saying: Use the "clay beneath our feet” to mold what we want or need out of life. 

Everything necessary is already before us to make things happen. Viewing circumstances with enthusiasm and new perspectives brings about success.  

I saw a chess game ready to go at the beach the other day!

Shadow Self

Our Shadow Self holds all the power -- once we are willing to face it head on. 

All judgments and outbursts of anger hint to the Shadow Self we refuse to address. And what we resist, persists as BLOCKS to our healing and overall well-being.

Dandelions - Coming Soon!

Dandelions  can be seen as weeds or wishes.

One's perspective regarding ALL things is what makes the difference between happy or sad outcomes.

Hello Spring!

The spring equinox is coming soon. The earth is already awakening.

Our own “spring cleaning” can begin with dusting the cobwebs of stale, worn out thinking that winter’s darkness might have perpetuated.

Mushroom Lore

Mushrooms are part of magical lore— fairies dancing in a circle create a mushroom  "fairy" ring.  Some believe supernatural beings leave their energy in composting leaves and soil, allowing mushrooms to sprout.

One has to be amazed when mushrooms appear overnight and shrivel by day's end.  They remind us how awesome and fleeting life can be.

Flower Talk

Did you ever wonder why FLOWERS come in so many colors?

FLOWERS are perhaps the greatest messengers in all of Nature. Every color conveys a  Universal Vibratory Tone the body resonates with.

This is why we bring flowers to the ill, often unconsciously.

Limitations

When we think we have reached the end of our options—push through—and voila! 

The Secret to Success is perseverance. Those who don't give up easily and are flexible to certain changes in outcome, do reap great rewards.

Attracting Abundance

Gratitude unfolds Personal Abundance and Inner Peace. It broadcasts vibrations attracting the Highest and the Best.

 

Many of us live in dire circumstances whether they be health issues, financial woes, relationship heartaches, etc.  Yet no matter how severe they appear to be, there is always SOMETHING we can be grateful for. 

That SOMETHING must become our ONLY  FOCUS in order to change our circumstances.  "Seek and ye shall find..."

Unknowns

Intuition is the greatest guide as we journey through life, especially once we learn to direct and trust in it.   


An Invisible Power paves the way for all the unknowns ahead of us. To those who gain knowledge, life is less fearful and much sweeter.

Communication

Animals, plants, invisibles, earth/cosmic energies and more are constantly sending us intelligent, loving messages. 

Become open to it and  learn another communication model.
