There we were…fed and happy. I couldn’t shake the feeling that felt like energy had emanated from every place in the little cafe that opened its doors to the street. I loved the indoor interior with its little ceramic and metal birds. Ah, the flight theme again… time to fly, time to fly.
Floating around the streets of Del Mar and La Jolla, we had a great time. On one of the days, we found ourselves at a little bookstore and met a wonderful teacher named N’Vela… what a delight. She looked at me and shared a few bits of wisdom that I can barely remember now – something about my book and distribution. What I remember most is her chat with Abby. I could literally feel her access Abby’s spirit and affirm her place on a stage in front of many, many people. ‘How beautiful!’ I thought as I watched Abby beam in appreciation. Gifts, gifts everywhere I thought to myself. How beautiful we are when we all connect with God.
From there, we took a trip of trust with our beautiful messengers… right, left and around again. How wonderful to play. We ended up in LaJolla looking at an apartment for rent and how wonderful it was to really sink into the idea of spending six months out of the year less than a block from the ocean in LaJolla. I had no idea it was so affordable. I had so many beliefs about what things cost in California (in my mind, I’m thinking it is $$60K a week or so from watching various tv shows), I would never even permit myself to consider this a dream. How interesting… and how exciting!
I spoke with Erika Morrell, the Soul Mate Medium, today and we had the *BEST* conversation about living in love (that’s Erika’s tag line – Live in Love). Life is SO about living in Love and being the love that you are.
I am so excited that I will be on her radio show, The Soul Mate Medium Experience, next Monday night at 7 PM PST, 8 PM MST, 9 PM CST, and 10 PM EST, on www.LATalkRadio.com. If you miss it, you can access the show later at http://LATalkRadio.com/Erika.php.
Love really is the answer. 
And, THAT reminds me… I LOVE the new Barbra Streisand CD!
Life is fun. We’ve been talking a great deal with people about singing their song. About truly letting go and doing what makes you giddy, happy with delight and in love with yourself and the world.
I’ve been following those things that inspire me, too. The guitar was my love…truly…when I was a kid. Last week I tired of ‘trying’ to get it and just strummed and strummed feeling the sound filling my body. I lost myself in the sound and knew that, regardless of the reason why I picked up this guitar, I needed to stay with it and see where it would take me.
Today, I went to my guitar lesson with Chris Buchanan who is as sweet a soul as has ever lived. His site is Patient Guitar Lessons.com and boy is he ever patient. What a gift.
As I listened, and played a little hummingbird came to the window. I asked if she comes often. He said no. She looped around and came back again. Wow. How beautiful.
The last time I was there a huge woodpecker came to the window. I thought to myself today… what a magical window! How precious those moments are.
I wondered… is the bird hearing our song? Has she come to sing along?
And that’s when I felt this rapturous unity of everything. It was just a split second… but long enough that I noticed it. Aaaah. It felt so quenching for the thirst inside of me.
I am looking forward to singing my song… and inviting you to sing along… and to hearing your song…and singing along.
Here’s what hummingbird brings… funny that I just blogged about beauty yesterday… ah, how perfect.
The hummingbird brings us the gift of beauty. The ruby throated hummingbird is one of the most common species in North America. This energetic little bird migrates 1800 miles from the Eastern US to spend winter in Central America. This distance alone indicates the hummingbirds stamina and perseverance. They can show us how to go the distance without becoming depleted.
When hummingbirds mate, the male claims a territory and attracts a female to it. When she appears, he does a courtship dance, flying back and forth in a perfect arc. The arc symbolizes a luminous bridge connecting one life to another. Male hummingbirds start the process of procreation and the female completes it. The arc then becomes a circle, a cycle of completion. When the hummingbird flies into our lives it can indicate a need within ourselves to complete a specific lesson that we have been avoiding. Once the mating act is done the males go to look for other females. The mother lays and incubates the eggs for the required 16 days and then raises the young by herself. The number 16 is important for those with this medicine. It represents change within a 16 day period.
Hummingbirds flap their wings at the fantastic rate of 90 beats per second during normal flight and up to 200 beats per second during courtship, giving them their humming sound. They have excellent maneuverability in flight. They can hover in the air, fly backward, forward and sideways. The hummingbird flies everywhere because it cannot walk well. Hummingbirds have the advantage of seeing things from all angles and can show us how to expand our perceptions.
Hummingbirds are small but expend so much energy flying that they require large amounts of sugar rich flower nectar to stay alive, having to eat twice their body weight a day. Because of its small size and its high degree of activity, it loses body heat quickly, so it must digest food quickly. Those with this totem need to watch their own sugar levels and take care of their digestive system.
The hummingbird serves to remind us of the beauty and wonder of the world. While their speed and sound may sometimes startle us, they help pull our attention out of the mundane so that we can acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of Creation.
Ooooh, I love to meditate.
Do you?
To me, it is like slipping into a silky, sparkly, shiny space to be with God and the messengers and to see me in all I am too.
Meditating frees up space, allows us to create from a centered space, and is a beautiful gift we can give to ourselves (from ourselves).
I love Kelly Howell’s CDs for people who have busy minds. I remember when I first started how THANKFUL I was to have something for my ‘mind’ to ‘do’… guided meditations do that wonderfully well!
Some people say prayer is talking and meditating is listening to God. I believe meditating is both. I often talk and listen all at the same time. It is my sacred space to commune with the greater consciousness of All That Is.
If you have let your meditation practice slide… please give yourself the gift of you again. Spend time with your precious soul…then share it with others.
Mary sent this to me! She is an amazing designer and creator of super crafty, wonderfully artsy things.
Isn’t it sooo cute?
Can you read what it says? Open Your Gifts…time with you via email or phone or in person is my gift.
Thank you!
Oh wow… look at that. Another year has gone by. Lots of years have passed since I first sprang into this world – 41, in fact.
I find that I really don’t think much about age until someone brings it up, or until I talk to someone who doesn’t know much about the 80s (when we get to ‘explain’ the jokes or how funny things were back then).
The older I get the more I realize life really is all about love. And we all have our special brand of it.
It’s perfect, really.
You are perfect, really.
So am I.
Let’s celebrate together!
Chance drew this for me…I love his drawings! I would have never thought to have balloons coming OUT of a mouth… so CREATIVE! And these words… crazy…yummy…party…love you…yay!
So sweet!
What’s your heart saying to you? You know, the whisper in your heart…what’s singing to you? What’s calling you to you?
Wednesday morning as I worked on a client project, a guitar came to my mind. I thought of the guitar and immediately emailed a client to ask about guitar lessons (as I can’t remember how to play anymore). What’s a guitar without knowing how to play?
I also asked about vocal lessons. Last year, when I spoke at Indigo Nation, I felt pulled to talk to a woman who worked as a vocal coach, but I didn’t follow through.
A few months later, the Messengers began singing during the sessions.
I found that if I relaxed, the sounds would move through me much like wind through a flute. If I became tense, it could be scary … sounding.
So, I went to see a friend for lunch… and then back for group coaching, where I got to talk with my friend… client… about the guitar. I told her I didn’t know what it was for…WHEN would I play it? I wondered.
That evening, I met with two new clients and bingo… guitars came up again. Apparently this new client LOVES guitars. I could feel a palpable electric energy moving through the conversation as we talked about his love of guitars.
I found myself wondering if I might be able to do this after all… he has more children and more business interests than I do. If he has time… why not me?
The next day, I worked away on another project, and in the other room (Mark’s office) I heard this very tinny, irritating (to me) sound (Mark later said his speakers are not that great on his computer). It sounded like a thumping, grating sound… oooooooh. It turned out to be a video Mark watched on YouTube. A video called United Broke My Taylor Guitar. Coincidence… you decide.
I got the message. Loud and clear.
The following day (this past Friday), I woke up with this idea to play guitar and sing at our group coaching workshop (we meet once a month). I emailed my friend to bring her guitar…which she did, even though we didn’t sing and play, the intention was set.
Oh, and about a month ago, a movie from a year ago came to mind… The Guitar… an independent film about a woman following her heart. Wow.
What is your heart saying to you?
Yesterday was an especially lyrical day. An intuitive session yesterday was absolutely beautiful. I remember only a few things from it, and one was that St. Therese came to talk about being true to who you are. She sang in the sweetest way…I find that I want to hear the songs again and again… yet they are here and then gone again.
The immense love that flowed through me took my breath away and moved me to tears. I was in awe of the soul I read for, and of the Messengers who came. Beautiful…absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking … shining … stunning … words can’t begin to describe.
When people hear me say how grateful I feel, they wonder why… don’t I get ‘used’ to this? No… never. It is too ethereal…too special…too lovely and loving to ever tire of – or even find routine. Each session is special, a communion between the person and God.
Perhaps that is why I enjoyed yesterday so very much. I’ve been busy working…in the business world, in business… always still with people…but truly in my MIND and in BUSINESS. Yesterday put me squarely in my heart. I loved it and felt SO loved. So, so, so loved. Aaaah…exhale.
Every session is a gift. For the person, for me, and for God’s messengers. It is a perfect gift.
Last night on the show… Archangel Gabriel… Gabriella as I’ve been calling her as she has visited so often recently… she took us on a journey of our heart. It was SO much FUN (or at least I thought so!) How beautiful they are… we are!
My heart is overflowing as I rest after a busy week… St. Therese came to my mind… this is what I found about her… completely in line with what she said yesterday in her elegant love. Thank you.
Jesus set before me the book of nature. I understand how all the flowers God has created are beautiful, how the splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not take away the perfume of the violet or the delightful simplicity of the daisy. I understand that if all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers. So it is in the world of souls, Jesus’ garden. He has created smaller ones and those must be content to be daisies or violets destined to give joy to God’s glances when He looks down at His feet. Perfection consists in doing His will, in being what He wills us to be.
My last show was a bit more emotional than I usually get. Perhaps it is my heart… perhaps it is my unwillingness to sit by and watch … perhaps it is my love for you (and me) that I remind us to care for ourselves.
I find myself wondering what else I can say. What words matter? Love yourself… yeah, yeah, yeah… who cares? What does that mean anyway? a client recently said. I agree… the words are hollow.
Perhaps it is about caring for yourself. Is that any better? Care for yourself… yeah, yeah, yeah… who cares?
Okay, then think about someone you deeply love now. A child, a parent, a friend… and think about how much you love that person and how you would want the best for that person no matter what.
That’s what we’re talking about… that love. That feeling. Now apply it to yourself.
I have not always acted like I loved my gifts, but I don’t know that I would ever want to trade them in. That said, there’s something about seeing cancer or other diseases up close and personal in the body. I have worked with the beautiful healers as they have cleared a person of thousands and thousands of harsh words, or cleaned out a person’s blood bit by bit of chemicals.
I am in awe of their love and their desire to serve, and I wonder… could we maybe help a bit? Not being sassy here… but could we possibly love ourselves just a wee bit more? Or maybe open up to receiving the help some?
One of the hardest things for people to see and know is how they are hard on themselves…I remember how I defended myself and how “good” I was being toward myself. Ha! I could only hope to be good to myself at that moment in time. I cruelly tormented myself with doubts. Ah, to learn what is true.
So as we lay our friends down to sleep…Billy Mays, Jr.…Michael Jackson…Farrah Fawcett…Ed McMahon…personal friends near and far… can we find it in our hearts to honor their memories by loving ourselves and those around us just a tiny bit more? I hope so… love is waiting for you! You are love!
I’m not sure I would call Pixar-Disney’s new movie, Up!, a kid’s movie, but it sure was a good lift.
The reason I say I don’t know that it was a kid’s movie is that the themes were so dramatically adult – but only in their presentation.
Living life…loving everyday life…loving big…what’s important in life…life is an adventure…who is important in life…it’s never too late…all of these ideas are what we want our kids to know, to live … do we share these messages each and every day? I hope so.
I really loved the movie…everything it stood for…how it was directed and told…the characters…the greater message, especially. I thought, ‘Gosh, am I just really a cry baby?’ but then I looked over and Mark was tearing up too. This movie is a BIG TIME love story. It reminded me of us… and touched me deeply.
When I asked Chance (who is 
what he thought… he said he liked the characters. When I asked him what lessons he learned from it, he didn’t see the same things Mark and I saw, but he liked the movie anyway.
Real… in a magical kind of way (you know, an 80 year old tromping for days through the jungle with no food or water save a chocolate candy bar), Up! gets a big thumbs up!
I’ve wanted to do the 3-D experience for any number of movies, but Chance doesn’t like the glasses. For whatever reason, I HAD to do 3-D this time, and I learned that some movies aren’t made especially for 3-D, meaning that they don’t have things that whiz out at you and such. Up! would be just fine in non-3-D format. The upcoming G-Force movie, though, looks like it would be GREAT in 3-D!
Oh, and the little cartoon Pixar made as a pre-show is just the cutest thing I’ve seen in years! SOOOOO sweet!
I’m so grateful those guys followed their dream off the back of the napkin all those years ago! If you don’t know the Pixar story… gotta read it – it is inspiring!
Today is our NINTH anniversary. Happy Anniversary to us! Mark and I celebrated yesterday while Chance had a play date at his cousins’ house.
Here’s how our celebration went.
We left Mark’s brother’s house. We drove down the road. We talked about all the movies out right now, considered the 95 degree heat, decided that the MOST IMPORTANT thing is that we were hungry so we filtered through what sounded good to eat. Settled on Corner Bakery. Ate a delicious, yummy lunch that was pure heaven. I had a chicken salad sandwich that tasted so good. Mark had a turkey sandwich that tasted like a chef went in and whipped it up himself. Thank you Corner Bakery!
We talked about going to a shop over in Arlington (between Dallas and Ft. Worth for those of you outside Dallas) to get these candles I absolutely LOVE, but after considering gas prices and conservation, opted against it. I’ll drop by when I’m over there visiting friends.
We then started talking about what we wanted to feel… cooler (remember, it is 95 degrees outside and sunny), comfortable (yesterday, that meant intimate and not around a lot of people), and present (enjoying each other one-to-one).
We decided we would run a quick errand, and then head home to spend time together. It was bliss…six hours of just doing whatever we wanted to do, in the way we wanted to do it, with joy and love.
It was one of the best anniversaries ever.
