Last week on Queen of Dreams Radio, I talked about being the flow, living in the present and soaking up the amazing-ness of life. I have floated around on birthday dreams and wishes for more than a week now, and I wanted to share with you some of these.
I thought about this… and a remark someone made, actually, about someone else is what made me think… this isn’t about me and my birthday, this is about gratitude for those who make my life rich… with their creativity, with their Presence and with their loving kindness.
Yes, life is sweet! I wanted to share the love with you… to inspire you to create something for someone you love. 
Can you see the quote? I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. – E.B. White Remember E.B.? He’s the guy who wrote Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little and the little guide book every writer MUST HAVE… Elements of Style by he and his pal, William Strunk, Jr. It wasn’t lost on me that E.B. came at a synchronous moment…as I have been pondering the intersection of the two…to both improve (or contribute to it) while also immensely enjoying it. I believe we each have an intersection in our hearts for experiencing that.
This is the first birthday card of the season… Miss Debbie and I have a big PLAY DATE planned next week, so this little card arrive in the mail with this little card tucked inside.
I went to lunch with another friend, and we had a scrumptious lunch at Houston’s (one of my favs) and then head over to Celestial Park, which is one of her favs. Now, one of my favs, and this is something no one has ever done for me – ever – on my birthday – thank you! And, yes, it is still this green here in Texas.
See that oblong shaped plaque? My friend stood at one end and I stood at the other and she sang happy birthday to me. The echo was beautiful and I felt like the Queen of the Stars! Those round plaques are the phases of the moon. If you match up the phases, then you can talk to each other across the open area.
Here’s the entryway to the upper deck area where the plaques are. Each one of the stairs has poems about the stars. This park is so special and starry!
The next day, some friends came over and brought this yummy cake… Italian Wedding Cream… can you say, “Forget the easy weight loss!” LOL So yummy.
One of the best things about this birthday has been the magic quality surrounding it that has persisted, I believe, because of where I’ve been living myself. These dear friends shared with us a project they were working on a couple of weeks ago. That was fun, cool and totally exciting, but then they asked… “Do you want to go with us? On tour?” I felt like, “How fast can I pack my bags? Oh yes!!” More details to come on that, and I can’t even wait for you to hear all about it because YOU will love it, too, and come do it with us. Shhhh, don’t tell, but it’s all about you, your dreams and getting the link up to anything that’s possible!
More tomorrow on this amazing birthday… full of love. Happy Birthday to you, too!
Looking for a Dream Life:
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.
