Unconditional Love in our Daily Life

It's not always easy to love unconditionally.  We love our friends, our family, our significant other, our partner, our furry family members.  The roles we are put here to play sometimes require, or seem to, helping those we care for in ways that may not be comfortable for them; or us.  Sometimes we try and it seems we've put so much out there only to find an empty chair.

Through each day moving forward in 2014... maybe we can be reminded from time to time that WE are loved unconditionally by All That Is, that while we make mistakes in our well meant efforts, when love is behind the effort, it all works out exactly the way it was meant to be.

The energy of love is pure, high, full of light and it shines down on the dark, fear-filled parts of our lives.  Darkness is the absence of light.

What do you choose in 2014.... Fear? or Love?  Anger stems from fear; acceptance from love.  It's okay to go back and forth, we all do.  We're human and we can choose again in any moment to experience the higher emotions and to share them.... as unconditionally as we are able to.

Forgiveness requires we are able to forgive ourselves as well.... be good to yourself.  It's your life, your 2014 and your experience.

The Spirit of Christmas Past

"When we recall Christmas past, we usually find
that the simplest things - not the great occasions -
give off the greatest glow of happiness."
~Bob Hope~

I love Christmas and the wondrous magical joy of Music!

So I suppose that I "should" detest Christmas because our daughter committed suicide December 22nd.  I don't.

I suppose that I "should" detest Christmas because the holidays remind me of her passing every year.  They really don't... Every single day reminds me of that, not just Christmas.

I suppose that I "should" detest Christmas because it's no longer popular to say "Merry Christmas"... we're supposed to use other terms that do not offend anyone that does not share the same beliefs that "we" do.  But I don't.

I suppose that I could go on and on and on with this list...
Mike and Joyce left the world just after Christmas a few years ago... just a few weeks after their last Christmas, in a horrific way... and my little family and I trudged through the soot and the ruins to salvage little memories and to honor their lives as we loved them... they were family to us... and still are. My Dad, My Grandparents, My In-Laws, My Furry Family Members that I miss so much: Benjamin, Ling-Ling the first and the second, Serena, Dusty, Reggie, Dawn... so many, and each one has a part of my heart in my memories and in my soul.

Do I tear up (cry) at these thoughts? Yes... in fact as I type this I'm tearing up a bit... after all, I'm an empathic, Psychic Medium, a Human Being with extreme emotions that often has been told in her life that she's too thin-skinned (ha!).... but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Christmas... also reminds me of all of those people and the holiday memories we shared.  It reminds me of the joy, the music, the caroling around the neighborhood with Dad playing his accordian and the clan trudging along singing and skipping down the streets.  It reminds me of the midnight masses that the Seabury Choir sang so beautifully years ago and I was so honored to be a part of that joyful experience.  It reminds me of Uncle Ted playing Silent Night on his Violin... he was my Violin teacher too.... I miss him.  It reminds me of those lost, as it does you... but.... so much more!

Christmas is a land-mark to me.  It's truly my checkpoint.  It's where I stand before Jesus in my spirit and my Mother and Father God and my Guides and Angels and stand in their light yet again, just me... and them... and I get such strength from them, every single year.

I don't have to go to a church to do this... and these days, quite honestly I don't. I'm blessed to be able to connect with them whenever I need to and... to share my gifts with those that need me to help them.

Christmas is a time of Joy to me.  Yes, I go present crazy, I love to give gifts to loved ones and to some friends and to share where I can with those in need.  I don't have much, but over the years, whatever I could scrape together at Christmas... was to GIVE to others.

It's a time of GIVING.  It's a time to also be able to graciously receive when we don't have much to give.  That was a life lesson my Mother-In-Law Nancy taught me, thank you Mom! It was painful back then when I had almost nothing and she had so much and gave so much to our family.  I was embarrased.  But I finally learned... it was truly her JOY to help and give... and I so totally got that lesson that I pay it forward when I can!

So if you have trouble receiving... think of this... Someone has to be the Giver... and you know... Someone has to be able to Receive!  It takes BOTH!

Christmas MUSIC is so close to heaven, so pure with energy and so clear and sparkling.  Yes, there is Music in Heaven!  Yes... the Angels Sing to you... yes, to YOU!

I don't often go here when I write a blog or do a radio show.  I prefer to keep my personal opinions personal.  My work is to help you, and I do not judge your beliefs, nor do I judge those that have no beliefs.... it's not my job to do that... I'm just a Messenger.... and I try to do that with love, to as many as possible.

So in closing I would like to share with you a piece I just discovered today.  Every year I seek out a new Christmas Album and this year... this is it.   The first tune on the Album is this, which is my favorite Christmas Song of all.  Angels We Have Heard On High!!!
By the way... you probably know by now... I grew us Musical, went to College for Music Ed and play Piano, Violin and just about any instrument I pickup if I want to... so it's understandable why Music is so important to me.  But it's more than that.  Music truly has helped me connect with my Soul, my Spirit and my Guides when I have been at my lowest.

I pray and hope that you will find a bit of Joy this Christmas...




Peace!

15 Minutes is Magic!

If you are feeling a bit off... spend a bit of time on what you "know" you truly want to do. 15 minutes is magic!

I dont have all the answers... but they do! 11/29 by SpiritedDaydreams | Spirituality Podcasts

What better way to start off this Holiday Season than by tuning into your Spiritual side!

Join Karla/Spirited Daydreams on Friday Nov. 29th at 7:00 pm (Eastern Time) for a bit about how our loved ones on the other side help us during difficult times in our lives, and how our questions may be being answered and what we can do to tune in to the same frequency as theirs.  

Receiving messages from the other side... are you getting answers to your questions or are you getting the answers they know you truly need and why one is more important than the other.

Your Personal Healing Power

One light, then another, then another until the world is lit up by the individual lights from each soul that seeks to heal the world. The ripple effect works with our spiritual energy, overlapping from distances unknown, connecting to form a healing net of love, light and blessings. 

Good deeds, good will, smiles and prayers for peace, are never wasted. Allow your light to shine on... whatever the odds may seem, for there are so many others that are doing the same. 

We Are One. 

Blessings of Love and Light. *~*SD*~*

Politics, Religion, Torture and I still believe in the Power of Love

The following is a reply to an online friend who was responding to me.  I had posted a quote about Strong People being those that lift others up, rather than putting them down.  Joseph, a good man, was pointing out his (valid) concerns about some of the the tortures and horrors currently going on in our world.  And here's my reply... for the record

It's very sad Joseph, very, very sad. I was about to say the message had nothing to do with that but I'm reminded that's not true, it surely does. Just because one believes they are the strongest, does not make it so. The need for Dominance, Power, the Killing of Others, is not spiritual strength. It's far from it and more ego than id. Blessings and I will continue to pray for those poor souls that are subjected to all of that horror. I do not normally post about the middle east... I read and hear and feel enough about it and we here in the Northeast part of the US surely have felt their presence and it's unwelcome to be sure. The media covers the negative very well but once in a while, if you look, you'll find people helping people, loving and helping one another to get up and keep going, with their friend at their side... despite the horror. We are "Boston Strong" for example! We must share the light, grow it one person at a time and unite. I'm not saying "they" and "their acts" are okay, absolutely not. I'm saying I personally am here to try to lift others up and I have to do that in the way that represents my Spirit.... and that I do. You are doing what you need to do and that's okay too. We are trying to help, and that's what The Light is all about. There are many who are able to fight the terror in physical and tactical ways and that's what they do, thank goodness for their help! I'm not going to say that everyone that believes in a certain someone is bad... I don't believe that. I believe that the ego-driven maniacs are bad, yes, I do. However, I will not allow much of my energy to focus there, it serves no-one but to feed their desire for power and they have quite enough ego thank you. It is Spirit that is strongest in spite of anyone that puts anyone else down, whether it's physical torture, emotional beatings or bullying, etc. The Spirit is eternal, the rest is temporary, and we have hope and we share love and we help one another whether "they" like it or not, because that is what LOVE DOES! That's my message... Blessings! 

Breaking Out

In a day and age when we've made so many advancements;
In a time when so many people have more freedoms available
to them than in days gone by;
There are many people still quietly trying to fit in.

Spirit wants you to know that you did not come to fit in;
Spirit wants you to break out of the mold that you have
become so familiar with, maybe the one that others
placed you in, or that your situation fit.

There is nothing you cannot do,
There is no-one that you cannot decide to be
that is within your range of emotions and
abilities.
It's truly up to you, this life experience you are
living in.

Prisons exist for a reason,
yet so many live within them every day.
While you may be free in terms of society,
are you permitting yourself to live the life that you truly want?

Only you can choose.  You have the right to pick your path.
Your friends and family and others may mean well,
it's up to you to do for them, for you, for anyone, what
rings true to you!

Putting someone else's needs before you own is perfect,
if it gives you the true and honest feeling of love, hope and peace.
Yet, remember... you have a limited time here...
and keep your own path on the list of to-do's.

You are never alone.
Your Guides and Angels walk with you every single step of the way.
Through the tears, the fears and the love... they are with us.
Remember...
To Talk To Them.
To Ask Them For Help and Guidance.
To Thank Them For Their Blessings.

We are all blessed.
We get what we want... as well as some things we didn't plan on.
Yet in the end... you've allowed others in your sphere of life;
and their experiences will affect you.

Others are a gift to us, yes, even the pain we get due to them.
Break Out from the Pain...
Love, Laugh, Enjoy YOUR life!
All in all, it's a Good Life!!! :)

Blessings,
Karla

Imagining Awakening

What if the powers that be awoke to the fact that they have in their power to radically change the way they ordinarily react to situations and instead meditated on the issues by connecting with Mother and Father God, their personal Spirit Guides and the Angels?

Imagine them putting aside their fears that routinely dictate the need to control the outcomes of the decisions of others and to let go when it did not concern them personally or those that they are responsible to answer to. 

Rather than following the routine they follow their soul's yearning to be part of the possible solutions from the highest possible place in their own spirit.  Thinking outside the box, beyond the continents and above the globe, they begin to connect with the strongest power that there is to seek direction.

There is still time to awaken to the realization that you have the opportunity to play a part in the uplifting of human kind out of darkness.  The playing of power only repeats an unending cycle by those who are asleep to the truth of who they really are.  In their quest for temporary relief in the assumption that destruction of others will resolve the issues, they are like cats chasing their tails in unending circles that pass from one group to another.  To show that true strength lies in both disallowing the dark ones to force their energies upon us and in a fashion that would reawaken them to the fact that we are interdependent upon each-other.  Our energies are ultimately connected to the same source, and that Source is within each of us.  Every one of us looks up to the same moon, it matters not from where we view it.  Though the moon may be seen by us at different times and from a different point of view, and the fact that we stopped in our tracks to look up for very different reasons, it is still the very same moon that we look to.  

Love is the opposite of fear.  The old ways detached one from another by means of utilizing power over others to command them to follow, rather than to seek the expertise of those in the abilities of the mind and spirit, not only those with the knowledge of power and the will to win.  When, and if, there is to be true evolution, it remains a basic premise that to have strength does not mean there is no compassion for another due to their lack of understanding of the consequences of their actions.  This does not mean one might allow another to walk on them, yet it does not mean they should block their path entirely.  
It requires knowledge from the light, from those walking the planet who truly understand the minds, bodies and spirits of those who appear to threaten you.

Maybe we are not ready for this evolution.  Perhaps because it seems so simple to those in control that it seems childlike.  Yet Spirit assures this is not so, for appearance without knowing means nothing other than the outward glimpse of a wrapped package might before unwrapping and discovering what is within.

So it is written tonight by the Inspiration From the Light through me, with prayers for true wisdom and healing from me and many others like me, in a meek and yet strong effort to send like minded energies requests out to the Universe to accumulate and attract together, and return to our planet to those who need to awaken.  May they awaken to this new and yet timeless truth.

Blessings

Labels - Sticks, Stones and Spirituality 08/25 by SpiritedDaydreams | Spirituality Podcasts

Listen in at 11:00 am (Eastern Time), 8:00 am (Pacific), 4pm (England) on Sunday, August 25th as Karla speaks of the issues involving the "Labels" we are assigned by others and those that we give to others. 

A topic with her heart and soul invested and much Inspiration From the Light incorporated, this show is one to listen in to. 

Plus, a special announcement concerning a Labor Day Special!

Throw me a rope!

Feeling lost as though a fog fell around me I cried out in silence
Children, Family and Friends on the other side leaving me here to age without them.
My efforts are feeling like burdens, and knowing that I must go on, I do just that.
I put one foot in front of the other, working days pass, money changes hands and I give my best.

While others enjoy their holiday I feel alone.  I have given all I can and am missing my dear one who left all too soon for heaven.  I know I will see them again, but today, right now, this minute, I could use their shoulder to cry on... their ears to speak to... their hand to hold to pull me up out of this despair.

Life can become so monotonous.  The will to live is with us, but part of us left you see...
A suicide, a painful death, even the normal aging and consequential death of the loved on... and part of us right this minute, feels like we went with them.

What's the point! I cried out in my head to the other side.  I'm so very tired.  I've given all I have to everyone I can.  What is the point of this time in my life, when children are grown, parents and elders are gone and I feel so alone.  Thinking of those that came before I gird my loins and batten down the hatches and prepare for a storm.

You see, this storm comes to everyone who continues on... at one point or another.  It's part of the cycle of life.  The natural progression of things.  You may be 20, 39, 57, 69, 74 or 83 or more... and you're wondering what the good heavens are thinking to have you be here at this moment.

It's not that you lack motivation or intellect.  You're happy to help your family and friends and you give a fair days work for a fair days pay.  You've gotten past having to  know what the basic rules are... or at least you thought you did, and you get it, you've got that and so on.

These days, when life is going so fast that the postman doesn't even have time to deliver the mail and you yearn for a pen and ink post from afar to lift your spirits as in days gone by... these days, it seems so much about survival of the fittest... and maybe we're just not feeling fit for the fight that society presents to us.  In fact, we don't care about politics or why the taxes have quadrupled... we just want to be able to enjoy a bit of life.

The pain comes in waves when you've lost someone you love.  You can go for months, maybe years and it will hit you again like it just happened.  You've connected with them on the other side and you know they still are okay, that peace is there... but right now, it's their presence you need.  You're sick and tired of hearing about how everyone's vacations with family here and there were so grand and you secretly wish for some of that.  You know better, you know the grass is not greener on the other side and you know that most people present their life to others in a nicely made package complete with ribbon and sparkle.  You know that their need is to appear like they've got it all, and you know that's a lie, because they don't, you feel it, you see beyond their facade and you chuckle at the same time saying a silent prayer for them because you feel like maybe they are worse off than you... at least you're honest with yourself!

Then a light goes off, just when you're feeling like there is no more to give.   A sudden intuitive lightning bolt strikes your very core and wakes you from your reverie of sadness and desolation and just plain exhaustion.  "You've got to focus on tomorrow" is what you're left thinking.   The bolt has left a message... and you're suddenly awakened from that awful dream.

To get through this mire of quicksand of devastation in our lives, we have to have a reason to keep going!  This isn't really news, we've known this for a long time, we think.  Yet... it feels different this time.  We know it was heaven sent, an answer to our silent cry for help, because we're feeling so much better.  All we know, is that we have to focus on tomorrow while living today.  We know that tomorrow may never come, but that feeling hit us so strong that we must start focusing on tomorrow!

It really doesn't matter where you are today.  It really doesn't matter anymore, I should say.
Where you are now is a result of yesterdays efforts.  It's tomorrow we need to create and that is what you are doing right NOW!  So suddenly you're awakened, revived and feeling that a ray of hope was sent to you.  Well, you know that it was, because you're fully aware of inspiration and intuition.

Suddenly it's all changed, and you're dreaming again of possibilities.  You've found a new reason to live and you know full well that you still have some quicksand to go around and some work to do until you're at "tomorrow", but you're feeling stronger and stronger with every passing moment.  The answer  wasn't in a bottle or a pill or on lying on a couch sharing your story with someone.  The answer was sent in a lightning bolt of hope... a rope sent from somewhere unseen... in the form of a single phrase that hit you upside the head and shook you awake again!

You are here for a reason.  You've got not just keep going on the same well worn path, but you've got to dream again!  Let yourself dream of possibilities for the future, not just one, two or three but dozens!
For it is in this dreaming that you are creating not only your future... but the future of anyone whose life you touch in that time.  We all affect one another, whether we would like to believe that or not... we do.

You'll still visit the gravesite, remember the happy times, miss them.... and you know the feelings will come again... but for now, it is "You've got to focus on tomorrow", and your dreaming again with anticipation, with excitement.  You're thinking of ways to support one of your many causes.  You're getting a glimpse of an idea of something new for you... and you're not "back on track", you're building a whole new track to a new place you've never been before in your life!

The message is simple.  Go THROUGH the darkness, let GO of the pain and if all the strength you have is to send out a silent screaming prayer for help to your higher power, then do it.  Have FAITH that the answer will come and repeat this until it does... because it will!  We are not alone in body.  We have unseen guests, unseen angels, unseen guides and more help from Heaven than I can mention right now.

They will throw you the rope you ask for and send you the message you are so thirsty for... but you must ask, and more importantly, you must shake yourself out of the darkness and hold on to the ray of hope they send you.  That spark of inspiration is where your life begins anew.... It's up to you to take it from there, and to remember to keep asking them for help... and listen for the answers along the way.

With many blessings of hope to you and yours~

Mother's Day Story, 2013

This week a good man lost his wife to Cancer after a 5 year struggle, she was only 55 and leaves 2 Grandsons, a Son and Daughter in Law, and worse... her Mother. Their Mother's Day will be changed this year.

This past October a dear friend's Son crossed over... her Mother's Day, is forever impacted by this loss.

Every day, people are impacted by the "loss" of the physical presence of someone they care so very deeply for that it hurts beyond what words can express.

It's painful when a sister, wife, daughter, Mom, GrandMother, or any one near and dear to us is no longer there to call on the phone, to have a Mother's Day Dinner with, to mail the card to... to share the smiles with. Someone that tried to lift us up when everyone else put us down. Someone who was on our side no matter what. Someone that made our eyes shine just by walking in the room.

I can't promise you it gets easier. I can tell you that you learn to adjust and move on, as this is your path and your path is still opening wide with each precious moment. I can assure you that when you can remember that you are a gift to those in your life, that you still have the ability to try to touch their hearts, their souls and their minds... your life's focus can feel, once again, a bit of hope for the future.

For all this Mother's Day...
May we remember that wherever we are, under whatever circumstances we are in... we can choose to feel like caving in or, we can live this day by sharing our love with those around us.

It costs so little, means so much, creates memories that are irreplaceable, and for me... honors those so very near to me, that I miss so very, very much!

 

The pain and the gift...

Who you are...

It is not a thing you have, the Soul.  It is who you are!

You are not your body.  The body is temporarily

housing part of your spirit.

Your Soul, your spirit, travels, yet for now, returns to your body.  When this temporary housing changes, you

will, as your loved ones have... just reappear with them.

This may sound all so simple... and the truth is, it is as simple and as difficult as that.  It is natural to fear the loss of the home that you have... your body.

Yet... know that you are not your body.

You, are your Soul!

Blessings, Love, Joy and Peace to you...

Let your soul shine, sparkle and join others to 

brighten and lighten their loads.  For now, let us
treasure the home that our soul inhabits and take good
care.... for our experiences are here...
and there...

The Magic of Water and Light

Thank you to a good friend I've known for years now, who sent me this video.  He was right, it struck a chord!

The music is created in combination by the artist with http://tonematrix.audiotool.com/

I recommend you at least give it a look-see, as they say, it's fascinating!

In short, this fittonia plant is one the artist owns, and from time to time forgot to give it water.  This time, he added a camera to catch the regeneration process in full and combined it with this bit of music that he created.  It's uplifting!  

See what a bit of water and light can do?  

Enjoy!

Moving right along... 03/23 by SpiritedDaydreams | Blog Talk Radio
Jot it on your calendar! Saturday, March 23rd, 11:00 AM (EDT), 3pm in the UK, bright and early at 8 am on the West Coast ♥

Signs of Spring are in the air and the spiritual changes we are undergoing are no exception.  All we need to do is notice the political and organized religion changes.  How do we though, stay focused and centered spiritually in our daily life when chaos seems abundant?

Join Karla and keep "Moving right along!"....with Inspiration from the Light.

Trust in the Spirit World

Do you trust in a Higher Power, in life after death?  Do you know that your loved ones are with you long after their physical selves left the planet?  Do you know this because you were told that it is so, or, do you allow yourselves to feel the truth of it?

Trust?  How can you ask for proof that your child, parent, partner is still alive on the other side and that you will see them again?  What proof will satisfy your needs so that you can move on with hope in your heart and trust that they are okay?  In todays times we need to see, feel and touch to believe it is so... yet the other side, the Spirit World, will provide evidence that we will understand.  They will provide proof that your heart will understand.  You will feel it... even though you cannot prove it.  When it happens, you just "know" it.  You "Feel" the truth, even though you probably cannot see it or hear it yourself.

Why do we need to have the other side show us proof of their existence?  If you were greeted by an Angel or Spirit who appeared as real as you and I... would you recognize it?  For those that need proof... you may have already shut down.  Your version of proof of the afterlife (which is our REAL and ETERNAL life) may well never appear until you yourself cross over.  More Angels and Spirits have walked amongst each and every one of us than we will know in this lifetime.  A chance conversation with someone you never see again, that lifted your spirits at just the right time may have been from the other side.  That extra body in the crowd that you felt unusually drawn to and never thought to mention... may indeed have been a spirit showing you encouragement. 

Yes, many people are awakening to some degree.  This is evidenced by the increasing awareness of the paranormal.  Our need to share our evidence, even if only through an electronic gadget, that we have indeed encountered a Spirit or a Ghost (they are different), is becoming the new normal.  This is only the beginning, as the shift has begun, and we will go much further than this.  This is the reason so many "Psychics" and others like myself are coming out to the public.

With billions of people to help, the Universe is responding by making available to you, people here that you can identify with to some extent.  Just as there have been many people in other positions to offer their services, we need to feel comfortable with the person we work with.  I say that I work "with" my clients, because I'm only the conduit, the messenger for them.  Without their sincere and honest questions, the other side may or may not use the extreme energy that it takes for them to appear, to give a clue or a message that they want to convey to their loved one that is still here.

Sometimes they flash through my minds eye, so many on the other side that want to talk to you.  They have someone to give a message to, there is love they need help expressing in a way that you will understand.  They send love and yes sometimes more light than you could handle seeing... to show us they are still with us, they are okay, they love us.  I do receive random messages and I do take them seriously... for nothing happens accidentally on the other side.

So why should I consider a reading you say?  Well, we don't need to have a book of letters come down from the heavens  that they have written for us, we need to feel connected to them... to know and feel the love that is still there, that they are "okay" and to feel the warm spiritual hug that they send that we can only feel in our hearts.  

It may have been a short time, or it may have been decades since you lost them and I can tell you with all the love in the heart, that when you have received sincere contact from them, it feels as though you just lost them to their "death", yet you also feel that they are still alive!  This is the truth of it, as our death is a illusion, it is only the physical part of us in this realm that we shed.

As with all of the most important things... Love is still something we feel.  While we have ways to show the world that we love someone, we cannot prove the actual love.  We may have ceremonies, titles, partnerships, rings, families uniting, but none of these actually prove love.  For love is the most purest form of energy, which is felt, not proven.

When you are ready to take that first step in contacting your loved one, email me.  If you are not ready, your heart will not be open.  When your heart is closed, you will not feel the love.  It is that simple and that difficult.

Blessings....

PS - This is not to say that I have not, on many occasions, given messages from the other side to people who were just a "bit" skeptical as well as some to those who absolutely did not believe in this type of thing.  I have and I will continue to, for that is my calling.  And the magic?  It is that more often than not, something that their loved one said that is meant for them to "hear" (or read from me in the email reading that they can keep and refer back to later)... hits home, invades their heart and soul... and they know... it was them.  Love and Light...

Valentine, Valentine Where Are You Valentine?

The other side is the promise of tomorrow, of love, of no limits and of being reunited with our loved ones.  This side, is for expressing in totality all that you are.  The more love you put in to that expression, the more it multiplies.  Here are a few ideas!

Share a Chocolate at the office;
Bring some flowers to the local Rest Home for the residents 
(a single carnation in a bottle of water can bring miles of smiles, trust me!);
Draw a heart on the bathroom mirror in lipstick;
Call a friend and tell them you love them;
Leave a kind word with someone you think won't care;
Give the server a tip and leave a note with just a heart on top;
You know those Valentine's Day cards?  Drop one off to someone that has recently lost someone dear to them, whether by death, divorce, separation...;
And so on, and so on, and so on....

Stay Awake Within... Express in Small Ways Without...

Remembering that everything we give out, comes back to us! 

Happy Valentine's Day!  

Pass it on! 

SIng!

So many songs in my life.  During my youth, being raised in the house of a musician, with a Mom who was in choir and could hold her own musically as well... we sang.  When a hurricane was literally upon us I recall a very, very precious memory.  My Dad, my Mom, my wonderful Brother and myself met up at the homestead.  We sat in the kitchen around the "Round Table" (My Mom insisted on a Round Table... so everyone had a chance to talk... but that's another story).  We had no power that day.  I think winds were upwards of 90 MPH.  Huge trees that had been there my whole life were uprooted.  But, as we always did over the years... we SANG!  We all grabbed something to play, a guitar a hand held musical instrument, whatever we had that did not require power... and we Jammed!  

While many people were crouched down in fear, we sang, enjoyed eachothers company and we partied!  I was 25, I remember I had started a new Job and was told not to come in because of the hurricane.  Not feeling comfy at my own home, I ventured back to my roots.  What a treasure of a day.  I don't have bitter memories of the hurricane, I have joyful memories of sharing time with those that knew me best.  As far back as I can remember, we sang... in the car, in the house, yes... at church, during holiday gatherings, at school... well... we just sang!  With my own kids, we had a power outage during a blizzard many years ago.  The only heat we had was a gas stove.  With the oven on, all 5 of us were around our little kitchen table.  I grabbed the guitar and we Sang!  What a great time we had!

I share this with you, as well as the video of "Sing!"... because for me, Music has always been a therapy.  (There is indeed such a thing as "Music Therapy").  So I invite you, whatever your trouble is.... to Sing! 

PS .. The car with the radio on... The shower... and yes, I've even been known to make up tons and tons of silly little songs on my way here and there, about whatever I was thinking about at the time.

Happy Singing!

Excellence and the audience

Take a handful of people who witness an outstanding performance that stopped them in their tracks and, if they are being honest, you'll get very different responses. Excellence brings reactions of varying kinds!

I'd like to take you down the path of the performer for a bit. For instance, there is a reason why a skilled Musician will practice the same passage hundreds, possibly thousands of times until it becomes a part of them.   A truly skilled musician has done this and so the results that you hear are after more practice than the average soul would ever entertain... they would rather listen than go through the hoops.  People nearby often think them a bit off, because they repeat the same thing over and over and over and it drives them up a wall, so to speak.  As a result of the skill that they have acquired through the learning process of practice, practice, practice, they have freed themselves from the need to think about what they do at all.  They live the moments in true bliss, thoroughly enjoying their craft and the audience senses the bliss of the Musician as well as through their auditory senses.  

The same basic process actually applies to almost anything most people do.  From Arithmetic to Crocheting, Martial Arts to Skiing and more, the amount of time and energy put in will give a different result when compared to most others.

Everything worth doing usually takes practice to excel. Some of us need more practice than others.  Some of us need little in some areas, more in others. We truly beat to our own drums in more than a few ways.  Our DNA, our physical history and circumstances and yes, our past lives, all contribute to what seems to be our ease of learning one thing and our disdain in attempting to learn something else.  In short, we have our "easy" things and we have our well, not so easy things.

Now if you'll recall at the beginning I referred to a handful of people giving their opinions of someone that they witnessed perform, in whatever field you choose.  There are those that want to label it; those that want to explain it; those that describe the way they felt when witnessing it, a bit like the analytical folks following a political speech.

Once in a while... there is someone who has nothing to say at all, not because they are uncomfortable with it, nor is it usually because they do not wish to participate in the conversation.    Indeed, to the contrary... they are participating, just in a very different way than many of you.  They have taken the moments and are still feeling them, but on a higher level.  They have become inspired to take their own path to a higher level, or perhaps they are enjoying the moments of listening to the chatter whilst being a receiver and considering each of the others thoughts.

It's not always that different with Spirituality.  We can clamor as we feel our way is superior, because it works for us.  We can analyze and we feel stronger when we understand the methods and the reasoning behind the choice.  We can want to share our feelings about it with others in a pleasant and uplifting way as we feel a natural high from our path.  Then... there are those... that are the quiet ones.  Perhaps they are doing practice of their own, while we are sharing... or perhaps they are in their own quiet way, participating.  

In Spirituality there is no voice required, it is your spirituality that matters to you and no other being on this planet will express their version as you will.  Their relationship with their creator or higher self or deity will be different, just as a musicians interpretation of a musical piece can be heard and yes, felt, by those on the receiving end.  The spiritual tune is a common thread, as the true self of your soul intertwines with each other soul and we are one, yet, in this realm, we are here to experience our own version, as individuals.  

It's easy to label what we don't understand... and not everyone feels the need to explain why they are not explaining.  Each one, adds to the whole of all that is, and no "one" has the answer for another, including yours truly.  I can only find my way and offer a bit of my own version for the path that my spirit has taken me on.  It is my sincere wish that each one of you finds your true bliss in your own spiritual path... as for me... I continue to practice...

Blessings!

Brand New Me!

On January 1st so many of us start out with a resolution or three.  We're going to change, improve ourselves, let go of something unwanted or start something new.  Then life happens, and somehow we're back on the same path we were.  At least for some of us.

Sometimes it just takes a new outlook on our inner selves.  We can find the tools, the charts, the means, yet changing ourselves truly starts on the inside.  The world will give you  the "Stuff" if you look hard enough.  Things you can use with your 5 senses? No worries, just look harder and it's out there.  So there you go, the treadmill, the music, the writing pad, easel, camera or training program.... it's there somewhere just for you!

The things though that in the end mean the most, are the small steps that are usually something rather simple.  It's something that you know you should do, you feel pulled in that direction and after doing all of your homework you know it's in alignment with what you are here for.  You've done the brain work and the body participation is willing to go for it.  So here is where we usually set ourselves up.  We say to ourselves we are going to do "x" on January 1st and start anew.  Then by mid-January we're wavering, we started out high, but the glue didn't stick somehow.

Which brings me to where I am today.  I've been called to do an online radio show, called by Spirit that is.  It's something my Guides and Angels feel rather strongly about me doing. Personally, it's nothing I ever thought of doing and still at this point from a purely physical life could do without.  I'm not the type of person that needs to be out there in front of people, I'm actually more of an introvert... yet we introverts are deep folks!  We're always pondering and working on a few things at once while doing the actual thing people see us doing.  Take that and add the Spiritual side of me that includes the Psychic-Medium and Lightworker and add a twist of severe life experience and well... it's complicated.

So I've meditated on this, severely.  Asked my Guides and Angels for direction.  The answer?  This blog entry is it!  You see, I know personally from a life experience viewpoint after decades of real life in the trenches, that I know a lot more about ways to live then I let on.  I'm also historically rather quiet about it, unless you're in my inner circle that is.  So the time has come to break out, to share what's at my core about whatever the other side has decided I need to share with you.  I'm taking this entirely on FAITH.  I'm putting my money where my mouth is, as they say and baring my soul for the sake of the cause.

You may or may not be interested in my view-points, however it seems, the other side knows best (and I fully admit, they do), there is a reason for what we don't want to do but should do.  There is a reason you are called to start a new career half-way through your life.  There is a reason you have to keep getting up and moving forward when all you want to do is kick back and let someone else take the wheel.  Some of it is obvious to you and probably to most people that know you a bit.  Still, it's not easy to take most of what you have created yourself to be and suddenly say to the world, wait... you haven't seen me at all, that was just the window dressing!

I have a very dear friend who has known me for over 30 years that gets me in ways most people never could.  Way, way back, (before dinosaurs roamed the earth?), she knew there was a side of me that was a "Wild Child".  Not in the way that you might think.  I don't have a tattoo (not that there's anything wrong with them, it's just not my style right now); I like Nature, Animals, Music, my Spiritual Self and quiet are amongst my needs in life to survive.  There is though, in each of us, someone that yearns to get out.  We've all seen the weight loss commercials or the training videos along this line.  But.....

It takes guts to leave the ruts, as Dr. Schuller said probably 20 years ago.  He was so right when he said you've got to have a dream so large that God can fit in!  When you have a dream that is "manageable" that you are "comfortable" with and are "sure" you can control, it's not a dream.... it's a GOAL.  I'm not going to debate goals with you, I'll leave that to the experts.  My field is...

Spirited Daydreams... and I'm here to tell you that you have to put your spirited side into your daydreams... and that my friend, it the crux of my first show.  I was going to do a "test" show, but it seems the other side is just as happy with me just putting it out there and if it's a little off, the sound isn't right, or my voice shakes... it's still going to reach the folks that need to hear it.  

As with most things, when we are brave enough to have a huge dream, like helping to change our little corner of the world in the best way we know... we have to just do something little here and there and the rest will come....

Watch out for the announcements on my Twitter and Facebook pages and here on my Blog/Site, the date's going to be picked (yes... by Spirit... I've learned not to do much without their help) very soon!

Blessings in Spirit...
