You know I love music. I cannot tell you how many times I get into my car and listen to my thoughts. I run things over about situations that have occurred. Sometimes Spirit (God) will pop something into my head from years and years ago.
Does this happen to anyone else? Perhaps, some of those thoughts, also known as stored energies, are not for your highest and best. Sometimes, it is super hard not to allow those energies to come up. They just do. Why? Because we’re all on our journeys to grow, to become a better person, to evolve. How do we stop those energies from creeping in? We can write about them, which is clearing for the heart center or heart chakra. But we don’t want to live there. We can avoid situations that trigger us. We can see a therapist to assist – finding the right one isn’t always the easiest. Then there’s breathwork. Backstory: My first experience with a breathwork session was during a class with one of my master teachers. She took us on a journey, a journey to find out where we, each of us, came from. Guess what? I was in the stars – outer space. That just explained a lot for my regular readers. LOL Backstory: Still another time while in a mediumship student program, I worked the door at a breathwork workshop. It’s where I learned of one of my sexual abusers. Some people use alcohol or drugs to drown out the chaos. Self-medication is an easy way out, momentarily. I get it. I’ve been there and done that, more in my youth before I was even 18 and for years later. It’s not the answer. Listen, Spirit or God will never give you too much to handle. Sometimes you just have to take care of yourself and forget everything else. Take a step back. Allow people to do them. You do you. Know that you are NEVER alone. The good energies are around you, but you must be aware of the less than good energies, too – duality is in everything. Be mindful of your thoughts. You never know who is lurking around. Who or what are you allowing to enter your being, your doorway? Don’t let it stay. So maybe, just maybe it’s time to crank up those uplifting tunes while you’re in your vehicle. And sing along. Blessings of Peace and Love

It really does sooth the soul.
Just the other day my granddaughter, who is just over four months old, was fussing. She does that before she takes a bit of a nap. She doesn’t like the binky, so all you can do is walk and sway while patting her butt. Finally, I took her outside and she succumbed. Backstory: Same with my grandson. On a side note, I wonder if my granddaughter will try to eat leaves and tiny rocks, too. My daughter told me the other day that she and her husband are buying a pop-up camper. They talked about how they were going to take the kids to nature. My response: ‘Can I go?’ Backstory: My mom and dad had a pop-up camper. Good times. We were always out and about somewhere. We loved fishing, hiking, being around the campfire, making S’mores – just being outdoors. I told my daughter of this and of course, I piped up that it is so like my parents. Wait for it – you knew there had to be some woo-woo, yes? Did I mention to you that I and others think Royce, my grandson, is my dad incarnate? He’s been to the fire station twice and always wants to go back. My dad was a firefighter for 34 years. That’s just one instance – too many to name here. Well, a psychic medium gave me a message before my granddaughter, Persephone, was born. She said that my mom was coming back. Nothing to note as of yet; however, she does have blue eyes at this point. My dad had blue eyes. I wonder if that’s what hooked my mom. The shoes on the other foot now. I have an idea that baby girl is going to tell her big brother a thing or two someday. After a moment, I said to my daughter: ‘Thanks for the fond childhood memory.’ I am sure my grandson will have a blast with camping, just like I did when I was little. Interestingly enough I did not take my daughter and son from another mother camping. We did go canoeing though. And just the other day, I mentioned to my grandson that it wouldn’t be long, and we’d be going to the beach, another fabulous place to allow nature into your life. We got super excited about that! Get out to nature. Take a load off. I know firsthand what nature does for little ones. Think about what it can do for you. Let go and Allow! Blessing of Peace and Love! Are you aware of situations going on around you? Do you just nod and agree or do to move along? In some cases, it might be in everyone’s best interest to do so.
I wear many hats and I’m sure a lot of you do as well. It’s hard to keep up sometimes. Most of us wanna help others but when we do, some people just take advantage of our energy. These people are vampires, energy vampires. Backstory: My daughter has mentioned to me on numerous occasions that I don’t have any friends. I say: ‘I do, not just a lot. I don’t want to be around with certain energies.’ Do you? I’m pretty easygoing until I’m not. We all have our line, a line not crossed. I let certain things go but when it comes to my space, I want the energy a certain way. I get to have it that way. It’s my space and energy. And then people try to make their way in. It’s why I can seem guarded at times. When I was younger, I was little more free-flowing with my energy. Backstory: I took a mediumship class on Sunday’s nearly 20 years ago. Students took turns standing by the wall to see auras. When it was my turn, I stood and let it flow. One student said something about me giving away my energy. Back then I didn’t quite get what she meant. Perhaps, I was a little wet behind the ears. Years later, I realized other students and professionals were tapping into my energy. They knew exactly what they were doing. I realized it later and allowed it. I only wanted to help. These days I’m a little more selective as to where energies flow. I have friends and family, clients and students who get most of my energy, and at times colleagues get some. I do save some energy for self, something I should be doing far more often. How ‘bout you? Putting up appropriate boundaries is a must. I put up the boundaries. I get so busy that I don’t notice them being chipped away at – until I do. Pay attention to who you allow to come into your vibration. Some people are just not supposed to be there. You know who they are. Stop allowing. You can still be nice but not be taken advantage of. Pay Attention! Blessing of Peace and Love Started nearly 30 days ago. As of today, there are three days left of taking Anastrozole, an estrogen blocker, which wreaks havoc on one’s body, although I am totally thankful and grateful because I am cured of breast cancer.
On Feb. 27, 2024, I will have taken that little white pill for 2,555 days – seven years. The pill wears you down slowly. Thankfully, I am someone who works out at the gym faithfully. I’m sure it slowed the deterioration of my bones. Did you know estrogen comes from our bones? The number 27 was big in my journey. Backstory: About a month before my breast cancer diagnosis, I was at the beach every chance I could get. I met some pretty cool people – played Frisbee and Bocce. Once at Bethune Beach, a friend pointed out a cloud that clearly was the number 27. I thought it was cool. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on the 27th of the month, had the double mastectomy on the 27th of the month, started chemotherapy on the 27th and radiation on the 27th. And yes, I have come full circle with the number 27, or in three days anyway. Oh, and let’s not forget the countless reconstruction surgeries (hindsight). I had to stop taking the pill for one surgery. When I was cleared to go back on it, it was brutal. However, that little white pill protected me. At first my doctor said something about five years. I’m like I got this. After those five years, the doctor said 10 years would be ideal, but two more years is the same as 10. I was on board, although my body ached. Because I work out, I’m in pretty good shape. If people don’t know your circumstances, they automatically assume. My one-liner: ‘I only look this way.’ Estrogen is needed for a lot of things – hair growth (I was blessed with natural curly, fine hair.), protecting your heart (I now have a leaky valve.) and my bones including my feet ache daily, ouch. Backstory: One time it got so bad that I brought my daughter to my oncology appointment for support. I was going to tell my oncologist that I was done taking that pill. I did. And then I heard Spirit clearly: ‘Seven is as good as 10.’ Dammit! But I’m still alive! I love food and music! And more importantly, I love my family. I have two fabulous grandchildren who definitely have me wrapped around their fingers. I joked (I have a sense of humor.) with my bestie from my home state: ‘I’ll be having estrogen flowing in my veins again.’ She chuckled and reminded me: ‘You’re old.’ We laughed. I said: ‘Something more is better than near nothing.’ When you’re going through it, remember: Everything is in Divine Order. I am thankful and grateful for the people who supported me on my journey. Blessings of Peace and Love! P.S. I only made it to the gym twice this week. I’m still pushing through. Has hit a new level. And I recently posted about it on my Facebook account. The post became not available within hours. It’s because I gave an affirmation for everyone to say before leaving the front door.
‘Sending out the white light followed by the pink fog of love to wherever I go before I arrive.’ Imagine if everyone said that before getting into their vehicles to go wherever they are going. Bliss. I-4 has been quite interesting in my neck of the woods. One driver was in such hurry that he created his own lane on the side of the road and cruised it for at least 30 seconds, kicking up rocks and entering other lanes erratically. The driver seemed intent at any expense. It’s simple to me. When you get into your vehicle, please just drive, and at the speed limit and in the appropriate lane. Sounds like I might have a little road rage going on myself. LOL Backstory: In my younger years, I’d flip people off and give a lovely curse word on occasion. Finally, moved to peace signs and to sending a white light of protection to those in need. Listen to this one: I was walking into the grocery store the other day – two other women were walking slightly behind me. Before crossing to go into the store, a man with his window rolled down in a truck was intent on cursing about someone in front of him. The three of us chuckled. The one woman said: ‘Road rage in a parking lot.’ Unbelievable. These days one just does not know what could happen on the road or elsewhere. Times are extreme – good vs less than good, which will win and at what expense. We really don’t know who is coming into our country and how many. One must be extra aware of his or her surroundings, feel the vibration, go out at certain times. It’s why I like to use that affirmation above: ‘Sending out the white light followed by the pink fog of love to wherever I go before I arrive.’ Bliss. Inner peace is needed to move through this thing we call life. How do we find that inner peace? By going inside, introspecting – looking at our own selves and then coming up with solutions that can be acted upon. Another post that was taken down by Facebook: ‘Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy 'cause none of them can stop the time’ ~Bob Marley Anyone else wonder why those posts would become unavailable? Safe Travels! |
