I woke this morning and decided to travel to the wilderness, to the lodge for lunch. What a glorious drive, the scenery incomparable.
Lunch was a beautiful giant pretzel with fondue, apples, cauliflower and onions. So good!
We were all gifted some sunshine while there too! Many folks were there for skiing.
There is much history here at the lodge.
A beautiful day, followed by a nice dinner with friend, music, and a lovely bath to end the evening once home.
A glorious day.
A blessing.
Artists do not allow an outside influence to construct their painting, or other creation. It is born of their own accord.
Remember this when it comes to your character.
Who you are, is the masterpiece YOU create.
It is your art piece.
It is your statement to the world.
An original.
If an outside source is constantly telling you what your painting or creation should look like, what it should represent and so forth, it is no longer your perfect creation … it is tainted by outside influence and it is not 100% authentic.
Embrace YOU
You are magic, walking around spinning off pieces here and there wherever you go, affecting the world around you.
It is powerful
And when pure, authentic character and personhood blooms, it is the rarest flower (or bush, or tree, whatever analogy the masculine might like to use) and no other is quite like it … like YOU.
I had no idea Character Evolution could be so fun.
We get to choose our persona every moment. Who will we be today? Are we grouchy, happy, sad. Do we seem to fluctuate readily and often between such emotional states?
Control Your Mind
Take command of your output.
Of course there will be times when we burst open and spew that which we are attempting to leave behind, it happens. The key is in recognizing it when it happens, and making the shift … choosing your reality, not letting emotion steer the ship. It’ll crash more often than not.
Grab the reigns, ride this wild life like no body’s business!
Becoming the best version of YOU possible, through sheer Will Power!
Now that’s Strength!
PS ~ DON’T DENY YOUR SENSITIVITY!!!!!
Heed the messenger: It is easy to ignore the messengers and the signs they show you, especially when they bring a message you do not wish to hear. Now is not the time to ignore the messengers. Do not let your fear of change or discomfort silence their voices. It is time for you to stop procrastinating, to see and to hear the truth, and do what is necessary. Heed the messenger for the wisdom they offer is born of your own intuition and need.
Do not fear the unknown: The ugly is not always bad and evil, and the beautiful not always good and just. Failure is not predetermined, nor is it a given that others laugh at you if you choose to follow your dreams. It is your fear of the unknown that makes you question and judge. Do not let another’s experience be the truth that guides you. Do not allow your fear of an unknown outcome to hold you prisoner. Your own experience could be both different and rewarding. Live!
Honour Gaia: The earth upon which you dwell is more than just a rock covered in water, stone and dirt. The earth beneath your feet, the mountains, the forests, the rivers, lakes, oceans, and the air that you breathe are all part of the magical living entity that is Gaia. She is our eternal mother, our provider, and our home. Gaia gives us life. Without her, we would not be. Honour Gaia by seeing the truth of what she is. Honour Gaia by loving her as you love yourself.

And I thought, “Okay, I think I’ll go sing by the river and dance through a cemetery.
The dead probably won’t mind me being ‘too close’ …
Or will they?
One simply never knows these days.
It’ll be what it’ll be.
It’s about Peace, Man!
Many things we do, or do not do, affect our mind and our ability to ‘properly’ process information.
Some believe that if they spend their effort in various energies, they might be left vulnerable … open to attack.
So they shrink.
They hide.
Limiting their Power and sense of Connection.
Open yourself …
Open, and learn to withstand what some throw your way.
During these processes, with effort, you will learn to respond to all situations with grace.
No one starts at the top, not even the very rich. They still have to hone their ability to influence thought of the whole.
Remember …
Our task is to ‘stretch’ our abilities, in BOTH directions, for balance.
Yet never with a loss of control …
Be aware at all times of your output,
And your intake.
Act accordingly.
My inclination is that YOU are too!
A goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She’s got it
Yeah baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had
She’s got it
Yeah baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire
She’s got it
Yeah baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire
At your desire

From the flawless patterns of your spirit, great light shines upon the world. You are a leader, a healer, an inspiration, a free spirit … unrestricted by traditional thinking. A desire to be all you can be, and a vision for positive transformation, draws you into deep exploration and clarity. Break free, reshape your destiny and follow the spiraling, intertwining pathways of peace, love and wisdom.
There is a higher purpose to everything, but currently it is not clear. Something in your life is changing, and it is unsettling. Soon, the pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place, and you will begin to find meaning in it. For now, trust the refinement process, hone your ability for love and develop your capacity for compassion. As taints fall away, the truth becomes clearer.
From the calm, neutral perspective of love, and free from the fear, guilt and judgement of this world, your higher self looks through the conflict and drama of the physical world and sees hidden meaning and purpose. From a distance, present chaos looks perfectly ordered. Seek greater awareness. Tune into the depths of your heart to find heavenly peace.
Reading from the deck “Sacred Earth Oracle” Ted by Toni Carmine Salerno and Leela J. Williams
Pleasure should be made a priority – actively seek it. Do not forget what makes you happy. Become more aware of the obstacles to your own pleasure.
Financial aspects come to the fore. Your prosperity will improve. You can be physically and spiritually rich. Ethics are necessary for real success.
Examine your darker aspects. You are being shown the way forward. Your path is illuminated, and there is no need to feel lost or indecisive. Something that has been lost to you will be found.
Reading from the deck “Goddesses and Sirens” created by Stacey Demarco
The moment for respect for life and all living things, attuning to nature and the the creatures of the Earth is at hand.
Tune into the deep well of compassion that spills over readily to anyone who needs your help.
You are being directed to take action to remove difficulties and resolve problems. Be receptive to guidance from wherever it happens to come.
Don’t be surprised to receive support from unusual avenues. Be alert to seemingly random input, which will give you clues and ideas that had not occurred to you earlier.
Once you have picked up these signs, pursue them diligently and with determination. The potential for them to pay off is immense.
As soon as you know what action to take, take it.
