Animal Stories

Yesterday morning I had friends over. One friend is allergic to cats. And I have 5 cats milling around. So, Raven, who you all know for her talents her on this blog, took it upon herself to protect this friend from the cats. Somehow Raven knew about the cat allergy and stood guard. She would softly growl a warning and then nudge the cat away if one should get too close.

While Raven enjoys the attention, my other dog, Shaya, prefers to fly low under the radar. But I have to tell this story because it is just too funny. Hubby and I were sitting in our living room. For some unknown 'man' reason hubby started making funny noises with his mouth. These noises then proceeded into 'fart' sounds. Shaya who likes to sleep on top of the sofa like a cat then proceeds to look around and smell his own behind thinking he farted when it was my hubby's crazy mouth sounds all along. Come on, that's funny!!!

Raven's World-11

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"My family likes to play with the angels. And they like to play with the angel numbers. So when I shared my message for today's column, I heard her excitedly say, "222". I don't work with numbers but it's all the same and means the same. Do not quit right before the miracle happens. Do not give up. We see many of you falling prey to the fear of the time. It is rampant. But you must hold on and give it more time. Build on your faith, surround yourself with positive support, get outside in nature more. Otherwise it will be your disbelief that will bring to you exactly want you would not want."

It takes two

Since both hubby and I work from home from time to time, we have found the need for two computers. He was always on our computer exactly at the time I needed it and vice versa. It never led to any actual fights. But as a sensitive and an intuitive, I can feel more than most. I could feel his energy and hear what was left unsaid. So it was like having 'silent fight'. To stop our uncomfortable impasses, hubby found a compatible computer on ebay. He spent two days swearing and setting it up. But now it is fully functioning so we can both enjoy simultaneous computer time. As I've mentioned many times before, it's truly life's simple pleasures that mean the most. Which reminds me that on our walk the other day, I heard nature's spirits assuring me they were in fact 'waking up'. So I kept the faith that spring was indeed close even as the snow fell yet again yesterday!

Blessed flow

I've mentioned before that my business ebbs and flows. Today we're moving into flow and I'm grateful. I'm blessed with the opportunity to teach Reiki today at The Purple Rose. Reiki is amazing energy to channel and share. The secret is that you get it as you give it! It is universal life force energy that can allow a person to heal on all levels. Then this evening is our radio show where we will be playing with the Angels. Angel reading anyone? Not to mention my gathering excitement that the signs of spring are everywhere. The birds were chirping this morning and a woodpecker was hammering away. The temp says 48 and it's just early morning with an extra hour of sunlight to boot! Even my cats can feel it as they're up early talking and playing, too.

Growing Pains

I remember when I was little. My legs used to ache for no apparent reason. My mother would tell me they were "growing pains." "They're just growing pains." She would say. Her words wouldn't take the pain away but somehow they brought me comfort. As if the pain was supposed to be there but would soon go away. It was part of the process. A sign that things were going according to plan even. Yesterday, I decided to do a meditative journey. My question to spirit was why I seem to be going through so many challenges lately. I was guided to use 'the yew tree path' from 'Celtic spirit meditations' by Mara Freeman. It guides you to meet with an ancestor. As I walked along the path, I heard a familiar voice say, "growing pains." My mother appeared beside me from the other side. "They're just growing pains." She said and she smiled knowingly.

Our walk today

Puppies walking through the woods then walking 'on water'...(Shaya is actually running not lying down. That's how deep the snow was!)

Peaceful morn

I'm struck by the absolute perfection of this morning's moments. I got to sleep late this morning as it is a day off for me. Raven joined me after the husband got up. Son got to sleep late, too. They're doing some standardized tests at school that seniors don't have to take. Husband is off to meet with a fellow landscaping friend. They've decided to combine forces and do some spring advertising together. It warms my heart since I'm always pontificating that there is no such thing as competition. (husband's landscaping site) The sun is shining through my windows and it finally feels like spring is on its way. Raven has talked us into taking the dogs for a walk later through the woods. And tonight is a gathering with friends.

Raven's World-10

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"It's your hearts. Your heart is the seat of your soul. We (your animal guides and companions) see all that you hold there. In your hearts. All of your diseases, your aches and pains, your financial woes, your discontent and disagreements. It all stems from your disconnection. From source that flows through your hearts. You were meant to relate to each other through love. You were meant to view yourself through loving eyes. Instead you hold onto blame, guilt, resentment, judgment. For others. For yourself. This clogs up your heart. With the coming of Spring, clean and clear your houses. And your hearts. Open just one window in your heart. Let in some fresh air of forgiveness. Then move onto the next."

An interview!!!

Check out Raquel's blog. What an honor it is that she would interview me!

Future predictions

I am so honored to be able to do the work that I do. Every time I meet a new person or channel for someone I am blessed to learn from Spirit along with my client. Last night on our radio show we had callers who wanted to know the future. What the outcome of a certain situation would be. I am not a reader who believes in giving future predictions per se. I believe we all have free will to make different choices that could change the future outcome as I might see it in the moment I'm doing the reading. Spirit will sometimes give me a 'likely course of events' if the client continues along the same path. But really what I always hear from spirit is that it's the journey itself that's important, not the outcome. There are always lessons for us along the journey. Spirit confirmed this on last night's show. They'd rather give me guidance, messages and support to aid a client's journey rather than a 'certain' prediction of the journey's end. I get nervous sometimes when I hear other readers doing predictions in absolute terms. It feels to me like we're taking the power away from our clients when we do that. After all, we're reading energy. It's not an absolute science. What if our prediction of the outcome is interpreted 'incorrectly' but our client believes it and thus creates it for him/herself? It is a blessing to be able to do this work. And it's also a delicate responsibility. One that I hold dear.

Treasured times

Treasured times have changed so much. Friday night we went out with friends. Saturday night we stayed home. To me both were precious. I recall a time in younger days when I would have gone out all weekend. I don't know if it's getting older or if it is really understanding that I truly enjoy such a wide variety of activity. And that I also enjoy inactivity, too!


Precious to me as well is my ability to work with Annie and present new information to you each week as well as readings to callers on our radio show. Tonight's show is about connecting to the other side. I've also figured out how to move the radio show archive button to this blog, facebook and our website, so you can just click and play our last show if you miss it! But I hope you'll be able to catch us live tonight (and every sun.) at 6 p.m. (est)!
