Miracles in the Everyday

I’m so blown away by the magic of this universe. I finally created a FB page that is dedicated and connected to my blog and I wanted to write something special for my first posting, but couldn’t think of anything.  So I let go of trying to do it, and let the universe guide me and I couldn’t have picked anything better.

Today I knew I had to have Mother Mary open this journey and as I was shuffling the deck the most perfect oracle card jumped out.  This card never came to me before.

“Our Lady of Manifest Miracles”

“We may think of miracles as special, out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, yet Mother Mary teaches us that the miraculous is meant to happen every day…”

Can you get any more perfect than this???

Yes, miracles happen in the everyday ordinary days.  Not just in the extraordinary.  Not just to those special few deserving ones.  No, my beautiful friends,  we can each find the miracles in our everyday, if we have the courage to look for them.

It takes courage to find miracles when we’re afraid to open up, to be vulnerable, to forgive, to give a smile, to let yourself love, to let go of stuff that no longer serves your highest good –  But here is where the miracles are.

It takes courage to step into your power. To say I’m special, I’m important. I deserve. I am worthy. I’m following my dreams no matter what. I love me – But here is where the miracles are.

It takes courage to find the miracles in the ordinary everyday, when life gets tough, when your health is failing. When on those days when it seems like nothing is going your way. When you feel alone. When it seems that all that life is doing is throwing you curve balls – But here is where the miracles are.

And you can find the miracles in the courage it takes to write from your heart and still publish after those doubts and accusations and the not good enoughs kick in.

Yes, it is in the everyday occurrences that miracles manifest, can you see them?  Share your miracles, love to hear them.

Thank you Divine Loving Mother.

Many Blessings

Nuggets of Wisdom

Often we busy ourselves with things that have to , need to, must get done – putting ourselves on the back burner.  We think later I’ll make the time, but that later never comes.

Here is your Nugget of Wisdom for this weekend –

Take a few moments this weekend and embrace your inner goddess.

10253867_317340831746240_2656717986276666590_n

Make the time to dream of royal dreams.

Relax and bask in the possibilities that are now only in your imagination.

Allow for grandiose dreams to make themselves known, they are already true in the realms of all possibilities.

Can you see them as already manifested in reality?

Did you take a few moments for you?  Love to hear from you.

Weekend Blessings

Connecting With my Higher Self

I’m  taking a class with Victoria Smith, “Softly Wild” and I have to say – I’m in love.

“For this week we are exploring a variety of “Softly Wild” practices for tuning in to our inner wisdom and intuition as well as connecting with Nature’s mysteries wisdom and healing energies.”

We’re to pick an oracle card everyday this week and tune into it’s symbols and meaning intuitively, not looking at the guidebook first.    It’s really a great way of opening up to your inner self and developing a richer connection.  I’m really connecting with my Higher Self in a deeper and greater way by allowing the meaning of the card to come forward from within, letting my intuition reveal the cards message.  Since I’m new to this there are still times, like today, that I had to look up the meaning of the card to get it.

What I’ve been doing is, after I sit with the card and contemplate on the gift of its message, I’ll look up the spiritual meaning of any animal that is in the picture, any flower that I can identify, and any color that really sticks out for me. I also will look up the meaning of any numbers that appear on the card. These cards bring forth so much wisdom.

For today’s exploration, along with choosing our daily oracle card, we are also to work with nature’s energies.  Connect with plants, flowers, crystals, whatever calls to us.

What popped into my head right away is Rose Quartz. Right now I need the healing energies this beautiful crystal offers.   And the card that came up is “Compass,” in the reversed position from The Enchanted Map deck, by Colette Baron-Reid.   I don’t know why all the cards I’ve been pulling lately have come in reversed position.

This card is telling me to get back to focusing on Spirit. That I’m off course and need to be pointing to True North.  So true.  I’ve been focused for the past two weeks especially, on a health issue, I’m getting more headaches than usual and now am really concerned, but I need to realign and refocus on my Higher Self.

What a gift both hold for me. Thank you Universe.

Do you like to work with Oracle cards, Tarot cards, crystals, I invite you to please share your experiences, love to hear from you.

Many Blessings

Entering a New Phase

I am here.

I am present.

I am open.

I am ready.

~ Janet Conner

I have entered a new phase in my life.

A higher level of consciousness.

I’m letting go and trusting in the Mystery.

I’m not real steady here yet, old habits, old thoughts and old fears keep on showing up and I have to be conscious of them and weed them out.

Form and Formless by Krystle Smith

I don’t know what’s waiting for me in this new phase, this new higher consciousness, but what I know for sure is that I have to embrace it fully and completely, honor it and step into it with courage and conviction and stand in my power – be in the knowing that this new journey that is unfolding its glorious path right in front of my eyes, is exactly where I need to be right now.

I’m being given exactly what I need on this new path to reach a deeper knowing. The people that appear on my path, the partnerships I’m forming, the lessons, the messages from Spirit guides, animal guides, my angels and celestial beings, and the visions that are popping into my head, are all here to support me and this Mystery is holding me up in its loving arms and I am ready –

I am ready.

I am ready.

I am ready.

Invitation – take some time to reflect on your own path, where are you on your journey?  What do you need to weed out?  What are you embracing?  Come and share here, I love to hear from you.

Many Blessings

Re-Claiming ME

In my Womanrune Immersion class with Molly Remer, the Rune a couple of days ago was the Egg.

zp0Q3vK2qZ04td1i.jpg

 Rune of naming. Word of Power. Magic Naming. Communication.

The word “naming” stuck with me all day I finally realized that I have been – naming me – for the last few years, and that in naming me I am – claiming me.

I CLAIM ME!

 It’s taken me most of my life to claim me, to bring me out of deep hiding. I am the daughter of holocaust survivors, my parents were the only survivors out of their entire families. They each spent five years in concentration camps and I grew up listening to my mother tell me every day of the horrors of concentration camps.

As a young child I didn’t understand the words, their meaning, the heartbreak that each word carried, but I felt and absorbed my mothers pain, her guilt, her tears that ran down her face. I felt her body as she held me on her lap with the horrors she lived through.

As a child, I didn’t know how to process this and so I hid myself away, I hid so far and so deep that I almost didn’t find myself. I was born a year after my parents were liberated. I now know that the purpose I was born for was to give power and light. My parents were so broken, their heart, their spirit, their soul was shattered to pieces but they were able to go on living because of me. I gave them life, I gave them hope, I gave them a reason to go on, I gave them a purpose. And I gave them my power; I gave them the light they needed.

In the last few years I have been re-claiming my light and my power. Slowly I have been digging myself out of hiding and come to know who I am on my own without the holocaust. My parents have both transitioned to Love, they don’t need my power or my light now anymore and I am re-claiming me back.

The holocaust will always be a part of me; it’s my legacy, my history, my ancestry. But, if I stay hidden away I will always be a victim of it and live under it’s ashes.

I need to re-claim ME, to know my passions, my desires, to live in my power and to shine my light.

And so, I’m claiming ME. My power. My light.

How about you?  Are you re-claiming yourself from your story?  Post your re-claiming of you here, I’d love to know.

Many Blessings
