Raven's World-100

Wow, 100 channeled messages from the Animal Kingdom!!! Thank you my beautiful friends! Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Your fears are there to show you the way. The way back home. In Spirit there is only Light. You are Spirit. In every moment you have the opportunity to remember who you truly are."

Gluten free eggplant bake

Greetings everyone. This is a wonderful healthier version of eggplant parmesan. Thought I'd share:

3 eggs (or egg substitute if you're vegan...you can use all almond milk, too)
3 T almond milk
1 cup Pamela's baking & pancake mix
1/2 cup garbanzo bean flour (for some extra protein for us veggie people..I use Bob's red mill)
2 eggplants (peal skin and slice 1/4-1/2" thick slices)
olive or grape seed oil
1 clove garlic
goat cheese (if you can do cheese, even though I can't do milk, I can tolerate some goat products)
black pepper
gf spaghetti sauce--1-2 jars
2 boxes Ancient Quinoa Harvest spaghetti (or other gf pasta of your choosing)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I use a nice heavy cast iron frying pan (extra iron for us veggie people!). Preheat over low-med heat. Add oil and the garlic clove crushed. Beat eggs with almond milk in a bowl. Mix Pamelas and garbanzo bean flour together in another bowl...you may want to add a bit of crushed pepper, too. Take each eggplant slice, dip both sides in egg mixture then flour mixture. Fry slices of eggplant in oil until brown on each side. (make sure pan always has plenty of oil) Put sauce in the bottom of a large baking dish to coat the bottom. Then place eggplant slices in baking dish. You'll probably get two layers. Top eggplant with more sauce and sprinkle goat cheese on top. Cover and bake for one hour. You may want to heat up extra sauce. Meanwhile cook pasta according to package directions. Enjoy!

Raven's World-99

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of the Animal Kingdom:

"If you are not seeing evidence of the manifestation of your dreams, you need to ask yourself if you are offering thoughts and energy in opposition to that dream. If not, have faith!"

Peace and Healing Mother Earth

This past week I hosted a Psychic and Mediumship Development circle at The Purple Rose. I was guided to have the group do a meditation to a guide or helper and ask this question, "How can we bring peace and healing to Mother Earth." With the participants' permission, I'm sharing the answers that they received from Spirit. Here they are:

Patience; don't give up; work together; shine your light; the Earth takes in some of your light and then it makes the Earth stronger and she sends the light back up to us; we could see big changes but it's all positive, nothing to fear; surrender; let go and let it be; lead by example; send healing energy to the Earth, golden light; set intentions; gather with others in loving ritual to honor the Earth; let the fields rest and the crops rotate.

What do you think? Do you have any guidance or thoughts to share?

Raven's World-98

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Physical bodies are irrelevant. Your physical body is merely a vehicle for you to be here now and to learn from. You are here to learn the lessons you came in for. You get too hung up about your bodies. Your Spirit is eternal and you are already full of beauty from the light of the Creator."

Raven's World-97

Here's a message channeled from the animal kingdom. My beautiful lab, Raven, is my 'spokesperson' for them!!

"There are no mistakes. We (your animal friends and companions) as well as your other Spirit helpers rally around you as soon as you make a choice. No matter what the choice. Having the choice is why you are here. It is part of your learning. We support you no matter what."

Turkey? day

I usually do not hop up on a soap box, but I have something pressing on my mind and my heart. I would never presume to tell anyone what to do. I sure as heck am no authority. I do not want to take away traditions and family time. But is it possible, to change just a bit? Perhaps have some eggplant Parmesan or a nice dish of your choosing other than a turkey every thanksgiving. Is it possible for all of us to gather with those we love and give thanks without turkey? I'm not necessarily even asking that you give up turkey altogether. Instead, you could have it at random times throughout the year. It's just that as tuned into the animal kingdom as I tend to be, I'm aware of all the turkeys that are bred and killed specifically just so we can have one on our thanksgiving day table every year. And I do not even want to think about the deplorable housing and the ingredients that they are given that are inhumane to them and toxic to us if you are still choosing a conventional turkey. That's a topic for another post... We can even rename it something like Feast Day instead of Turkey day!!

Newest rescue

Here she is, our latest rescue. All of the cats we've ever had have been rescues. And we don't have to go out to shelters and such to find them. Each and every one of them has found us. We've even had sick kittens end up in our driveway. We had a kitten walk out of our woods once and walk up my hubby's side and perch up on his shoulder. And many of you already know Tara's story who lived at The Purple Rose for a while. Seriously, they all come to us. So when the phone rang last week late one night and it was our friend saying a cat had been left behind by one of our tenants, well, we knew it was our latest family member. So, meet Tashi. She's been a bit sick and had to have some minor surgery but she's on the mend now. Very soon she'll be healthy enough to be integrated in with the rest of our furry family members!

Raven's World-96

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"There are no limits. There are always infinite possibilities out there for you."

11/11 and the shifts

I find myself with yet another cleansing cold. And I hear from Spirit that it is all good. I'm to welcome the changes as it is leading to purification. And that is what it is all about. As we move forward at this time, many of us are being called upon to raise our vibrations, shift our energies and welcome in more of our Soul self. Sometimes this is exciting and our manifestations and joys abound. And other times it can be challenging. The 'old' energies that no longer serve us must be released. There are all kinds of potential symptoms that may result as we release the old heaviness and welcome in more of our light body--headaches, various aches and pains, colds, flu, digestive upsets, tiredness, emotional release, just to name a few... For those of you who are with me in the Lightarian programs, these attunements are designed to help you and speed you up on this process of ascension. There are, of course, many other holistic programs out there that can help you and you can work directly with Spirit, too. Meditation and continued communication with your own guidance system is essential for a smooth move, up, so to speak!
Spirit showed me last night that when they help us to raise our vibration or help us 'light-en up' or we receive an attunement or global energy shift alignment, it is much like when the tv repair person comes to fix your tv. For a while, while the fix is going on the tv picture can appear snowy. But once the repair is finished your tv picture will be much more clear, clean and sharper than ever before. You guessed it, you are the tv and Spirit is the repair person.
It's best to embrace it and surrender to the changes as we move from fear and other 3rd dimension energies to love and the 5th dimension energies. For, after all, that's why we are all here!!!

Raven's World-95

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"We (your animal friends and companions) want so much for you to see that death is not a bad thing. It is not to be feared. Death is in fact a natural part of life!"

Another passing

Raven just shared in her last "Raven's World" about animals passing. And I'm pretty sure we can apply her words to us humans as well. As that same evening after I channeled her message, I learned my aunt passed. I am so blessed to be able to sense my aunt being who I am and the work that I do. But, it doesn't stop the grief of the physical loss completely. I'm very grateful to her as she is the only one who stood by me with understanding and love while all of my other aunts and uncles did not. I know she and my mother are now wreaking all kinds of wonderful havoc on the other side!

Raven's World-94

Here's what Raven would like to share today. Remember you can always ask her a question by leaving a comment and she'll do her best to answer you in her next post!

"Many of us (your animal friends and companions) are choosing to make our transition at this time to the other side. You see, our work is done. It is not a reflection on you. It is not anything you did or did not do. You must begin to see it from our point of view.

We welcome the opportunity to shift back into the pure positive energy of Spirit. We were never meant to be here with you for long periods of time. That is why our lifespans are shorter than yours. We are souls with our own life paths just like you. Sometimes our life paths crisscross and intersect with yours. And this is a wonderful opportunity for us to share in love with you. We want for you to trust in a Divine plan and that all is truly well."

Colors of Fall

I don't know about where you are but in my area the colors of fall were a bit muted this year. I think it's because of the lack of overall rain this summer...but this particular maple had such a vibrant red. The pic doesn't even do it justice! And as always, it's tough being the cat!!

Oneness of Spirit

So excited about this weekend. Halloween/Samhain is such a wonderful time of year. So many different traditions whether you enjoy haunted house and candy gathering excursions or a more sacred celebration. As we move forward at this time we can experience a sense of oneness if we are aware and allow it. A oneness with all beings here on Earth and also a oneness with those in Heaven. We are connected and love never dies. Through love we can connect with each other, through love we can change the world. This time of year is said to be a time when the veil between the two worlds of Earth and Heaven is thinnest. So you may catch glimpses of loved ones on the other side. You may see Spirit activity. You may feel the presence of a lost love. You may more easily commune with your Angels and Spirit Guides. But the truth is that moving forward through this year and the next, we will all have the opportunity to experience a thinning veil. Spirit tells me that the veil itself is an illusion. That we are and have always been one.

Raven's World-93

Here is what Raven would like to share today:

"The whole point is to incorporate your intuition into your every day life."

Happy Halloween!

Kids have red and blue hair...it must be Halloween!!!

Raven's World-92

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Move. It really doesn't matter what kind of movement or how you look. It doesn't have to be formal exercise; it can be spontaneous dance. Moving your body moves your energy. This allows your body to release stagnant energy which gives you a feeling of well-being!"

Tarot author on Monday!!

My Monday night's "Discovering Nature's Spirit" radio show features special guest, author, Barbara Moore. Barbara has written many books including "Mystic Faerie Tarot" and her latest "Tarot for Beginners"!! Join us Monday evening from 7-8 p.m. est for a wonderful discussion. Barbara and I will offer readings to callers, too! Archives always available if you can't join us live.

Raven's World-91

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Fresh air is good for your soul. Get some today! Get some every day. Feel how your mood automatically and effortlessly lifts!"

Midnight

Didn't know it'd be my last shot of him. We love you Midnight! Blessed be.

Raven's World-90

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"It's not supposed to be so hard. It is as if you are caught up in a web of entanglements that disconnect you from Source and your center. You need to let go. Dis-entanglement is not an action. It is more of a release. Give yourself permission to be. To be free."

Gluten free apple pie

Sorry the picture came out a bit dark but this is a delicious gf apple pie hubby made the other night. Yes, I said delicious and gf!!! We used a recipe I found from momcooksglutenfree blog that is a wonderful blog for gf stuff! She had helpful tips to working with the gf dough and I'm convinced it would not have rocked without her advice!!!

Raven's World-89

Thank you so much for all the recent emails letting me know how important Raven's World is to you!!! I'm very grateful to be able to do this work and bring these messages to you from the animals!! Blessings!

Here's what they have to share today:

"Lighten up! We (your animal friends and companions) see your energy. It is heavy with worry, stress, duty, obligation, commitments... The relief and dreams you seek cannot come into your heavy-ness. You must find a way to let go and let in the 'light'-ness!"

Fall astrology

So excited about tonight's show. Discovering Nature's Spirit welcomes back world renown astrologer and channeler, Michael Jernegan!!! He will update each sign for the fall, let us know health tips for each sign, and offer mini astrological readings for callers!!! Check it out...7-8 p.m. est tonight!

Raven's World-88

Wishing everyone lots of abundance today with lucky number '88'!! Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"It is your vision that creates your world. What do you see? Do you need to change what you focus upon? If you see poverty, that is what you create. If you see rich-ness you create it. You must ask yourself what would you rather create. For you can always choose what you see."

They're not going away!

I have to tell you that they are not going away!! I've had lots of clients lately contact me because their psychic gifts keep pushing at them and they keep trying to push them away. Ignoring them is not going to work. It's in your soul plan that these gifts be honored at this time as we shift into higher consciousness. The best thing for you to do is to be aware of them and embrace them. And learn how they work and how to best use them safely. I teach lots of psychic development stuff at The Purple Rose that can help. Or find a different teacher or circle that you are drawn, too. Be with other people who understand. Read a helpful book on topic. Find a safe place where you can talk about psychic stuff. Learn how to set an intention to work only with light and love and other protective intentions. One client is freaked out because lots of beings from the other side keep popping in and scaring her. Spirit is trying to get your attention. But you can control your gifts with your intention and interact with only the most loving entities. I encourage you to surrender to your spiritual gifts. They are a beautiful part of who your truly are!

Raven's World-87

For those of you who may be reading for the first time, Raven's World is a column on my blog where I channel a message from the Animal Kingdom each Wednesday. Raven, my black lab, is the 'spokesperson' for the animals! Here's what she would like to share today:

"We (your animal friends and companions) are constantly reflecting to you what needs healing within you. Pay attention to our behavior. Pay attention to the areas of our bodies where you see imbalances within us, because it is our job to show these to YOU!"

Raven's World-86

Here's what Raven would like to share today. Blessings everyone!:

"No-fault (see Raven's World-85) also means not blaming yourself. For you are here to learn your lessons and to remember you are one with Source."

vacation?

The funny thing is everyone around us went on vacation this past weekend including the kids. So all of a sudden hubby and I looked around and realized we could have our own vacation, just us, with all the comforts of home! We actually had 3 days off together which can be rare these days with both of us self employed. We indulged in meals out, drinking coffee/tea outside in the morning, kayaking, taking the puppies swimming, and sitting around a nightly fire...It was pretty cool!

Avocado Mayo

If you have a unique diet like me (gluten free, dairy free, soy free, meat free), finding new and exciting things to eat can be fun. So I was thinking back to the days when I could eat an egg salad sandwich and I was wondering how to create that again for myself only a wee bit healthier. I have to tell you I've been on the fence about eggs in general. Recently I've been leaning toward vegan but I still get the feeling that eggs are good for me. So, I've compromised with 'myself' and eat only local organic, free range farm fresh eggs. The woman who provides these eggs uses a special kind of organic feed that allows for colored eggs. Yes, there are even green eggs!! (though I no longer eat the ham!) I've also recently discovered a particular bread made by Udi's which absolutely rocks and made me want to eat bread again! So all that was left to create was a mayo. I can't do that veganaise stuff because it's full of soy. In a raw food book I was paging through there was a recipe for avocado mayo that I tried but didn't like that much so I though I'd create my own. And it's pretty good:

1 Avocado

1 T mustard (I use Annie's Naturals gf)

juice of 1/2 a lime

Cream it all together, combine it with your chopped up hard boiled egg, toast up some udi's and walla, an awesome healthy sandwich. If you want your mayo a bit sweeter you can cream in a date or two, but I like it tart.

Raven's World-85

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"This is a no-fault universe. Many of you spend your entire lives blaming others for your woes. But last week (Raven's World-84) we told you no one can affect your energy. That is, unless you allow it. So, dis-allow it. Take back control of your own energy and your own life."

It's starting!

Somehow when I wasn't looking fall began!

Raven's World-84

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of the Animal Kingdom:

"Your energy manifests your life. Your energy does not manifest someone else's life. They have to do that for themselves."

Raven's World-83

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Rest. Slow down. We (your animal friends and companions) see so many of you rushing through life. It's in the 'being', in the quiet moments that you reconnect with who you truly are."

Political service?

I have had quite a diverse career path of service. Beginning as a private attorney I was in service to my clients and to the bar itself. Then moving on to assistant state's attorney (prosecutor) I was in service to the citizens of CT. Now I find myself in service in a whole new way. In service to Spirit. The Angels, guides, loved ones, animals, ascended masters...who use me as a channel for their messages and energy of light and love. So I understand service from a variety of angles. I believe it has to do mostly with getting out of the way of your own agenda and working for the highest good no matter if it is in government service or more spiritual in nature. And it definitely comes with a strong sense of integrity. So lately as I watched the political ads flying around our TV in the past weeks I cannot help but be disgusted. It really didn't matter the party, so many of the candidates aired these 'attack' ads. And seemed proud of them when they announced '...and I approve this message'. Certainly far afield of standing in their own truth and integrity in letting us know how they would be of service on our behalf. And beyond that, totally out of alignment with Source. You cannot stand centered with the Divine and go on the attack. So I cannot help but wonder sometimes just how long it will take to shift to a better world.

Raven's World-82

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of the animal kingdom:

"Time. So many of you stress about time...there isn't enough time...time is running out...and that biological clock nonsense... Time is a man made construct. Your time is meaningless. It really doesn't exist. There is no linear time in Spirit. When you are connected to Spirit, life just flows as it is meant. And there is always plenty of 'time'!"

Letting go

I've come to realize poignantly lately that our purpose as parents is to bring forth our children to lead their own lives. As Spirit often tells me, "they are their own souls. They've just come in through you." As my sons leave their teens and kick around in the early 20's it has required another shift for me. Letting go even more. And I find the more I honor their need for freedom, when they are with me the better it is. And I am so proud of the men they have become.

Raven's World-81

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"We see many of you in toxic relationships. When someone acts out against you know in your heart that it comes from their unresolved issues. So you do not have to act out in turn which only escalates the toxicity now from both of you. Instead focus inward holding pure love in your heart. Teach the other how to treat you by loving yourself or simply let them go."

Raven's World-80

Here's what Raven would like to share today for you from the Animal Kingdom:

"Take a deep breath and watch the seasons change. Notice the birds as they migrate on an innate compass and knowing. Watch day turn to night and night turn to day. The squirrel foraging for extra nuts somehow knowing it'll be a hard winter ahead.

Your body is of this Earth. The Earth has natural rhythms. Instead of following these natural cycles, you impose time and energy 'constraints' upon yourself. And you then wonder why you live "off" kilter, remaining ungrounded as if the Earth itself were working off it's axis."

More flower fairy magick

Now those crazy, awesome flower fairies are having the window box flowers grow in the cracks of concrete!!!

Raven's World-79

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Be gentle with yourself. There is too much harshness. It is way out of balance and causes you to act out of alignment with Source."

Flowers, magick and hummingbirds

Sometimes awareness takes a while. But I say it's never too late. If the red dye stuff is harmful to us, and especially to our children (many believe food dyes are linked to ADHD, autism...), then how can it be healthy for our feathered friends? So I've got to ask, why do we put red dye in the sugar solution that we share with hummingbirds? (If you google this subject you'll find many who agree with me) So, the Sharon Audubon Society recommends cooking 4 parts water to 1 part sugar. Boil it 'til sugar dissolves. After it cools, it'll work just fine. In fact at my feeder there were fights over the new solution! And the hummers didn't appear to mind the non red color! Obviously, having flowers around are the best food for hummers. And then if you believe in a little bit of magick you can ask yourself, how did the flowers from the window box end up growing in the yard?

Raven's World-78

Because we are being called to focus on Mother Earth on her healing, I asked Raven how we begin. It can be an overwhelming task so how does each individual make a difference? Do you have a question for her? Here is what she has to share:

"Center yourself. If everyone centered themselves in the truth of who they are, healing would abound naturally as a result. We (your animal friends and companions) want you to connect to Source. Because you are Source. That is your truth. You are Source here on Earth."

It's all about the Turtle

This week there was a bit of a fall at The Purple Rose. Not a human fall. A fall of a picture and a clock. It was an interesting fall because it happened in a unique vertical line. And it was only that one pic and that one clock that fell among many other pics and things hanging nearby on the same wall. So one has to wonder at the significance of what fell. And then there's what they fell on, too. Specifically a turtle. A beautiful ceramic turtle that was a significant gift from a client. And yes the turtle broke. All this happened when no one was there (well, no one physically, that is). The turtle has long been a symbol of Mother Earth. And yes, we are breaking Mother Earth. So, this fall is certainly a message. And if you read Raven's World, you know she has been speaking of our Earth Mother and how we need a wake up call to come to action and to come together. And as the clock is involved, I hear "it is time." Beyond time really. The picture was of a beautiful sunset. Again part of the beauty of the Earth. Which like the frame we are shattering. Ted Andrews in "Animal Speak" writes about the turtle: "Turtles remind us that the way to heaven is through the earth. In Mother Earth is all that we need. She will care for us, protect us, and nurture us, as long as we do the same for her. For that to happen, we must slow down and heighten our sensibilities. We must see the connection to all things. Just as the turtle cannot separate itself from its shell, neither can we separate ourselves from what we do to the Earth."

Raven's World-77

Welcome to Raven's World! I'm so excited that her 77th post just happens to fall on July 7 (7/7)!!! Now that is wicked cool! Here's what she would like to share today on behalf of the Animal Kingdom:

"We have spoken of this before. (refer back to Raven's World-74 ) You have turned away from the Mother. In so doing your compassion is lost. It is within the heart that your answers lie. Love and compassion are energies that emanate from the Mother. The Divine Mother. The Mother of us All. You have put value in different aspects in your culture like status and power. These aspects can lead to greed and disregard causing you to trample on the hearts of others and your own heart, too, to get to where you think you need to go. But when you get there you find you are alone and you gaze out at the destruction around you. Of each other, of our planet. Do not wait that long before you awaken. We must honor the Mother within All."

Lack of faith in fellow man

I'm still in awe that this happened. While I maintained my faith in the angels through the whole experience and knew we'd be okay, I'm shocked and amazed that my faith in my fellow man would be such a let down. Last night we became stranded on the water when our boat broke down. We had been enjoying some fireworks and music. The boat just overheated and there was not much we could do. Even my mechanically gifted hubby could not restart her. When we broke it was about 10 p.m. and dark. There was one other boat near us. Now, we have obvious signs of distress with an engine cover up, arms waving and a hubby on the bow with an oar rowing us toward shore. The boat closest to us drifted closer. Close enough to see we needed help. The sky was lit up with stars! So the captain of our potential rescue boat started his working boat engine, took off in the opposite direction and left us there. The other few remaining boats were too far away and it was too dark to see we needed help. But one boat approached us. It got close enough for us to call for help. It came over to us and told us it couldn't help us. And it left. Now at this point I'm speechless. I could not imagine doing that to ANYONE EVER. How can you just leave us there. And there's a community among boaters. At least there used to be. The same type of camaraderie I feel when we ride. You never leave a fellow biker or boater in distress. I guess it's just not how it used to be. So, hubby rowed us to shore and we sought help from a friend. All ended well, as I knew it would. So, me being me, I asked the Angels later that night what in the world is going on. And they replied, "disconnection". So many have lost their way. Disconnecting from Source and each other. Forgetting that we are all one in truth. And the divine feminine aspects of compassion have been lost as well. Blessed be. We have a lot of work to do.

Divine timing dream

Funny thing. I had a dream last night that I was writing on my blog today about divine timing. While I don't remember everything I wrote in the dream, I do remember the gist. We all are pretty familiar by now with the law of attraction. Ask or set your intention and the universe brings it to you. As long as your energy matches with what it is that you are seeking. Usually, the latter part is the rub for many of us. If you are human, your energy can be all over the map. Especially lately. So finding joy and gratitude wherever you can can help you match up with your dreams. And grounding, centering and reconnecting to source can also keep you on track in times of chaos. But there's one more piece that not everyone touches on. The phenomena of 'diving timing'. Sometimes you can do everything right and still not see what you are seeking to manifest. Then it is all about the higher perspective of your life. Your higher self and those who guide you see the whole picture. And their job is to bring to you the best of what you are dreaming about at the best time for you. So please have patience and keep the faith!

Raven's World-76

Here's what Raven would like to share today. It's interesting that the number she talks about is also the number of the Angels!

"4. Four is a number of peace, balance and harmony. There are four directions. There are four elements in nature--earth, air, water, fire. There are four elements in you that when in balance create homeostasis. Four can build a bridge over dis-agreements, dis-asters and dis-ease. Meditate on the number 4!"

Nascar

When hubby suggested we go to a nascar event in New Hampshire I went along like a good wife. He doesn't really ask for much after all. Who knew I'd enjoy it! It was awesome. We were so close to the track and it was loud and exciting!! And I got a weekend away in the deal! It's all good!

Raven's World-75

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Freedom comes with a price. Is this what you all believe? The truth is you are born free. Freedom is your birthright. Any chains upon you are 'man made'."

Summer Astrology

He's appearing right on our summer solstice to share astrology updates for each sign, what's going on globally at this time and offer mini astrology readings for callers!! Check it out, Discovering Nature's Spirit, tonight from 7-8 p.m EST!!!

Raven's World-74

On Sunday evening I was a guest on Jess Steinman's show, In Touch with Spirit. Jess mentioned that she enjoyed reading the Raven's World column here on my blog and wondered if I asked the animal kingdom through Raven what they wanted to share about the oil spill. I had to admit that I had not. As an empath the spill and what it does to the earth and its inhabitants in far too painful for me to focus on. I send healing, blessings and prayers but don't tune in that much to the news stuff. So as we were talking Sunday evening I felt Raven come in and share that it is a wake up call for us humans. After the show I asked her if she had more to share and here's what she said:

"It's your wake up call. You must ask yourselves what is "fueling" this spill. Your technology was never meant to be used to harm the planet. The dis-harm-ony is fueled by your dis-connection to all that is. To the ancestors of all time. To the winged ones, the four leggeds, the creepy crawlies and the ones with fins and gills. The ocean is the mother of us all. Yet you continue to dis-honor Mother Earth and so you need big catastrophes to re-align your hearts as one."

An amazing story

Tonight on my radio show, Discovering Nature's Spirit, from 7-8 p.m est, I have David Petro on as a special guest. He has such an amazing story to share. He is a healer himself and it was the loss of his son that helped him put into perspective and into practice the Reiki Principles. The Reiki Principles were given to us by Dr. Usui who is the founder of traditional Reiki. They include these mantras: "just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings, just for today I will not worry, just for today I will not be angry, just for today I will do my work honestly, just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing". Wonderful words to live by and even more meaningful in David's words as he experienced one of the hardest losses we can have.

Raven's World-73

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Many of you spend time in regret or guilty feelings regarding our (your animal friends and companions) passing. Please be assured that whatever you did or did not do for us or to us is perfect. As we said last time, death is a beautiful walk across the Rainbow Bridge. Let go of your agony over our passing. If it was your choice to help us cross we thank you."

Henry...

Hubby found an injured baby bird that I named Henry. He had a broken wing and a puncture wound on his chest. Hubby did his best, but it was just Henry's time to pass. Blessed be, Henry!

Raven's World-72

What Raven wants to share today is a message I hear repeatedly from our animal companions as they are transitioning and after they have reached the other side!

"We (your animal friends and companions) enjoy the death process. Yes, enjoy. Just as we enjoy life with you. We welcome the re-emergence back into pure positive light energy on the other side. It is a beautiful experience. We remember what it is like so we are always ready to feel it again. It is the humans that worry and fret for us. It is the humans who do not remember so they have fear. We have surrendered control to natural divine flow."

Raven's World-71

Here's what Raven has to share today:

"Your success should not be measured by money. Money is an object outside of yourself. And money can fluctuate. Your success is inherent and constant within you as you are a beautiful child of the Divine."

A Psychic Reading

Last night on Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show, I discussed receiving a psychic reading. I want to make sure everyone understands that when a psychic offers a reading, he/she is reading energy only. At best there's an accuracy rate of about 80-85%. And that is at best, because as I just said it's just energy. Then you have to take into account the particular ability of the particular psychic. Is she/he reputable, ethical, compassionate, and how clear is the psychic's channel because his/her own stuff can static up their line to Spirit. I'm disturbed to realize that many people who receive readings take the words of the psychic as gospel. I beg you to take what the psychic says and then filter it through your own intuition and common sense. Does what they are saying resonate with you? If not, dismiss what they have said. Period. Despite what anyone claims, predictions of the future are never set in stone. All a psychic can do is read energy NOW. Because that is the only time that really exists. Perhaps Spirit can show us a likely course of events for the future if everything stays as it is now. But you always have free will to make changes. You can change your mindset, your beliefs, your actions, your energy...and so can everyone else involved. And that can change the future. You are in control of your own life. You are co-creating it with the Divine. Do not give that power away to a psychic. And on last night's show, one of our callers asked me about a relationship. Then she shared with me that she had had a reading from another show previously. And that host/psychic was very judgmental and harsh when answering the same question. I'm am here to tell you that the Angels are pure unconditional love. It was not the Angels that the other psychic was bringing through. If the reading you are receiving is not in love, do not accept it. And please do not take those unloving words to heart. Spirit is love. And so are you. Nothing else is true.

These are some old pics of my visit with friends to a daffodil farm and well, it's always good to be the cat!... (Had some technical difficulties for a while getting pics uploaded to the computer.)
