SPIRITUAL SPEW : 2019

Happy New Year 2020

As we scurry around these last few moments of 2019 to complete tasks before the upcoming year, take a moment for yourself, sit down in a comfortable chair with a cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa and breathe. As you sit there, listen to your heart rate, then ask yourself what you want in the coming year. If your description makes you smile, then you know you're on the right track. I know first hand that we shape our existence. It doesn't take much for me to get inspired to articulate my desires so they can quickly come to me in the physical form. For example, I wanted to dance on the Great Wall of China and mentioned it in early 2012. By September that year, there I was, dancing away on that Great Wall, like the goofball I am known to be. I made my wish, the opportunity presented itself and I grabbed the proverbial bull by the horns. 2019 was a year of amazing accomplishments and US travel that me say as I looked back. "How'd you do that?" It started with me converting a high roof cargo van into a custom RV and traveling national parks in the US and Canada. Ph and cruising to Alaska. People asked me why? My answer was, "Because I can!"

It's when you know the "Secret" that all you have to do is dream it and it materializes!

Also know that what you believe about yourself influences what you manifest in your reality. Period!

So guys and gals, realize that you are manifesting all the time. The winning combination to manifest happy outcomes is to 1) Know what you want 2) Believe that obtaining it is possible 3) Be in a "high vibrating" State of Being and 4) Detach from what you desire. Perhaps in 2020, you want to practice creating more deliciousness in your life! It's not difficult to manifest anything when you have that winning combo.

Wishing you a blessed abundant 2020, filled with possibilities,

Merry Christmas 2019

Christmas this year has come faster for most of us than usual. Seems like only yesterday that we were enjoying those lazy hot summer weekends. And yet, here it is that time again, where families and friends gather to celebrate the season. In these season of celebration, remember the 3 G's and be an example of that spirit:

Giving
Take time to give from the heart by random acts of kindness toward those less fortunate.

Goodness
Be good to those around you with words filled with love. And be good to yourself as you change that inner voice to only positive messages.

Gratitude
Be grateful for all that you have and where you are in your life, right now. Remember to be grateful for the time spent with those you love for it is more important than what is under the tree with your name on it.
Wishing you a holiday season overflowing with love,

Please Give of Yourself

As I embrace this holiday season, I am reminded of the many ways to give.

Providing Funds to Charities

Let’s start with what I think of as the most common form of giving, providing funds to charitable organizations. Many people give money to charities and in the US having these donations be tax deductible is a main reason why many not-for-profit organizations are still in existence. There is even an organization call the charity navigator that assists in the identification and rating of different charities.

(http://www.charitynavigator.org/). You can scan their site to learn about the different categories and ratings of these charities. It’ a source if you are looking for a charity. And there are so many types: charities that perform health disease research, food programs, fallen veteran’s families programs, animal programs and so much more. I commend all that donate funds to charities in this economic climate.

With all the deep, prophetic and philosophical articles that I've written about awakening, enlightenment and moving forward, I get the most questions from my most popular articles that are about fear. I find this very interesting, that with all the information out there about ways to connect to that state I call "Being Love" that people continual live in what some call lower fear-based emotions.

If you have not heard this before EMOTIONS are "energy in motion," each having a frequency, a vibration. Like the difference between a baritone and a soprano, there is a noticeable difference in the vibration and frequency when we feel happy versus sad and peaceful versus mad.

Fear will always keep you from realizing your potential and connecting to the higher light-ness that's within all of us. You've heard of the term, lighten-up, right? Well when you lighten-up, you physically feel that release.

Prayers to Say When Smudging

I receive so many questions asking me about what to sat when smudging that I decided to dedicate smudging prayers to their own article. These smudging affirmations can be the serenity prayer, words from a religious book like psalms, Native American prayers, spiritual prayers or a special affirmation of intentions that you feel strongly about. Pick one that resonates with you and say this smudging prayer out loud. My only suggestion is that you replace any negative energy that is being removed with a positive one.

Thanksgiving is not about the turkey, the parade, pre-black Friday sales or whether they serve the kind of cranberry sauce you like.

As we remember the history of this day as communities celebrating and giving thanks for the harvest, let us also remember what we are thankful for in our lives right now as we spend the day with family and friends. Here are a couple of suggestions to get in that thankful spirit:

Remove all remnants of work from your brain and be in the present
Do something nice for a stranger, like opening a door, letting someone who has less items get in front of you in line or wishing a senior a great day.
Make time to be childlike and see the wonder of the world
Smile and laugh out loud
Tell those in your life how much they mean to you

Best Spiritual Books

Not many authors will direct you to others spiritual books, but I guess I'm not like other authors. I believe that we have but a moment to impact others and I wanted to share some of the books that I enjoyed as I was in the midst of my discovery. Wishing you a day filled with love.

The 5 R's of Mercury Retrograde 2019

As Mercury Retrograde is in full swing now, I wanted to take a moment to speak to you all about the ramifications of this time for all of us.

What is Mercury Retrograde?:

This happens three to four times per year, when due to an optical illusion, the planet Mercury appears to move backward in the sky. Some call this movement a retrograde, ergo the term, Mercury Retrograde.

There are a plethora of things that you're asked not to do during this time, like sign contracts, get surgery, make major decisions or buy electronics because Mercury is the planet that rules communication. Most who know about this time period know that it is a time of delays, miscommunications and misunderstandings.

What most forget is this is a time filled with what I call the 5 “R’s.”

It is a time to “return” or “revisit” situations and issues from our past. It's a time to "reflect" on where you are now and how far we've come. Why? So we can “resolve” and “release” what no longer resonates with our true selves.

Just becoming aware of this will help you be present and not over-react to some of the inconveniences during this timeframe. Take this time to slow your life down a bit, just like the illusion of Mercury and stop the bullets before they reach you. That IS the intention of this time period, so don't allow it to make cracks in your very fiber.

In 2019, Mercury will be in retrograde three times, during the date ranges of:
