This morning I decided to visit the coast line, and oh how happy I am that I made that choice!
It was quite busy! I guess everyone had cabin fever, lol.
The children were so beautiful as they ran and played in the ocean. One brought the remnants of a tiny crab to his father who told him to drop it. haha
There were flowers everywhere!
This lily was actually HUGE
Apparently, the chickens have hatched, and they are dancing.
I was visited by Dragonfly. He kept flying around me. I took many photos, however these two are the only ones that weren’t blurry. What a beauty!
Of course, what is a day at the beach without ice cream?
On the road again … viewpoints!
Took a curvey route back to the city. Stopped to look at a creek and another friend said hello!
I drove all day with the windows down, the wind blowing my hair around, refreshing my energy body, blessing me in a way incomparable.
Aaaahhhhhh …. relaxation and happiness in the fullest.
Renewal of Peace: It is important to maintain peace with all aspects of your life, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Inner imbalances can often manifest in your daily life if you don’t make time to take care of yourself. It doesn’t matter whether or not your imbalance is a negative one. Being optimistic to the point of believing yourself to be invincible can also lead to challenges. Balance is best achieved through listening to your body. Take time for yourself. Allow your inner power to heal and return to being peace-filled. This will assist you and make you stronger.
Keep your dreams alive: Start to identify plans and actions that will lead you to achieve your dreams and goals. Your dreams can become your reality. This is a time when you need to be able to apply detailed planning in order to manifest your dreams and realize your goals. You need to remain focused on the practical side of things. Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. It is easy to be distracted by more ideas and concepts. Keep focused on what is realistic and achievable. Your common sense and pragmatic approach will lead you to a solution that actually works. Begin taking steps that will bring you closer to your dreams.
Shift your energy: Clear your energy, the energy of those around you and the energy of your environment. Winds of change are blowing into your awareness. In order to prepare for what is ahead, begin a process of renewal. This process might include clearing away the old that no longer has a purpose in your life. It also might mean changing old habits and patterns that you are ready to release. An example might be actively avoiding overly sugary foods if you are trying to eliminate excessive sugar from your diet. View this as a time of shedding that can be achieved with ease and grace.

You will be victorious. Teamwork or a partnership may be better than going it alone. Synergy is important right now. Delegation is useful.
Boudicca’s very name means “bringer of victory.” She did what no other could do in her time: she was a queen, a warrior, a leader, and a mother. She was real. She was Boudicca.
When the Romans invaded Britain, things changed greatly for the native tribes. Some were wiped out, some were subjugated, and some became Roman allies. None were united. When Boudicca’s husband, king of the Iceni, died, he left his kingdom to his wife, daughters, and the Roman emperor, but the Romans did not honor his will. As the Romans did not recognize inheritance of land through the maternal line, they annexed the kingdom, just as if it were conquered territory, and the king’s women had no leadership rights. Boudicca, a tall, strong, red headed warrior queen, protested this.
The Romans came to Boudicca’s village to pass their judgement and violently attacked Boudicca and her daughters. They took all the food in the village and prohibited other Romans to trade with them. Additionally, the Romans slaughtered druids (who screamed curses upon them as the Romans landed upon the beach), burned down their sacred groves, and poisoned their holy wells. All these acts triggered a revolution within Boudicca; she decided that she would not only war with Rome but also attempt to unite the tribes of the Britons.
Joining with a neighboring tribe, Boudicca led an army that decimated a major Roman stronghold, the Romans certainly underestimating her ferocity and strategic prowess. Battle after battle, she eventually reached Londinium, which she joyfully burned to the ground. Archaeologists have discovered a charred layer of ash almost half a meter thick under modern London, courtesy of Boudicca.
Boudicca was eventually defeated, though it is not known exactly where and when she died. She was given a royal burial, and her army was disbanded, though not before damaging the Roman army and achieving what the Britons had sought all along – respect.
Her legend lives on. Boudicca has become a siren symbol of unity and of revolution. Her energy has been channeled by everyone from Queen Victoria (who had a statue made in her honor that sits on Westminster Pier in London) to numerous painters and writers of books, movies, and television series. When you feel downtrodden, are a victim of injustice, or think that you cannot possibly win, call upon the Queen of the Iceni to assist you! Her energy is one for when you feel you are unjustly being ignored and are not receiving the respectful treatment from others that you deserve.
When you feel it is time to stand up for just or respectful treatment and you want to call others to you for a positive purpose, or even just feel the unity of your own purpose and various energies, you can call on Boudicca.
You will need three small stones for this.
Go outside. Take a big, deep breath. Hold the stones in your hand.
Stand with your legs slightly apart, knees relaxed, in a stable, balanced pose. Raise one arm in a salute of victory. Say strongly,
Daughter of the Hare,
Queen of the Inceni,
Boudicca, hear my call!
I call you to join with me. I have a battle to win.
I know you will show me my strength and my will.
(Tell Boudicca your Issue)
Unite with me, great Boudicca.
Allow me to ride on your chariot
As I move forward
In trust and power.
Place the three stones in the earth in honor of Boudicca’s daughters.

Look at the illusion of ownership. Do you believe you truly “own” anything in this world? For example, do any of us really own land … do we own ideas? Or is it that we have simply laid claim to something we believe we’re entitled to? Even inspiration is borrowed from Spirit and shared by all in the Field of Divine Consciousness that permeates everything. Others have thought of even your most ingenious ideas somewhere else in time … and so what?
Life incarnate is short. When you transition, you take nothing with you from the material world. Release your hold on your relationships, your belongings, your home, and all aspects of your life. Let life flow as it will.
Everything is impermanent. Once you recognize that, everything is seen as the living miracle that it really is, and you won’t be frozen into self-induced limitations. It’s time to let go of ownership in general and be grateful for and enjoy what you’ve been gifted with.
You have the power to go the distance, forging ahead whatever the weather. You will most certainly reach your perfect destination. Some person or circumstance brought through synchronicity will certainly appear to help you with your endeavors. You aren’t meant to go this part of the journey alone.
This is also an important time to delegate authority to others so that they may assist you. Currently you’re magnetic to powerful people who are in a position to help make your dreams come true. Remain open to those who are sent to aid you. You can be assured that you will be lifted up and will ride high in victory.
You may have compromised yourself out of fear. Have you been in denial about the truth of your situation? Have you sold yourself short rather than ask for what you really need? Have you given up your dream for another because you fear abandonment?
You are gently reminded that you count. Claim your good and never settle for less. Be fearless and make it so! Why hang around for more disappointment when wonderful adventures and opportunities are waiting to unfold for you?
When you bless the world, it blesses you back. When you say affirming, supportive words, they carry an energy that returns to you in physical form. Remember that each one has power and will resonate into the Universe, seeking its reflection in manifest form.
Your body responds to praise, as does everything in the world around you. Praise it for its inherent health and beauty. Applaud yourself for everything you do, as even the tiniest accomplishments are important. Praise your bills: give thanks for the services you enjoy, and watch the ability to pay them increase as you align with Spirit’s increasing power.
This is also a time to remember the powerful practice of affirmations. Write them down and speak them aloud as a spiritual exercise. Say it is so – and it will be.
My supervisor did an update to the computer program I use at work, it took two hours … and then something went wrong. So, I got to leave an hour early! Surprise!
I went to the park for a walk-about.
Saw some flowers …
Came across a caterpillar munching down dinner.
Ran into a patch of stinging nettles, first time in 40 years. Probably only noticed because my legs were bare. That was fun.
Hope you enjoyed your day my Human (and otherwise) family.
I love you.
PS ~ I found golden grasses!
I also spotted a couple of heart rocks. Love is in the atmosphere!
Wisdom from the higher realms will make you appreciate and share the riches of the Earth.
You’re looking in the right place for wisdom and spiritual riches. You’re generous because you think of others and their needs. You have an abundance of energy and the wisdom to use it wisely.
You are the stillness in the midst of turmoil, with inner knowingness and acceptance.
You’re becoming stable and calm and developing the ability to see through the curtain of your own and others emotions. You’re steady and at peace. This energy flows out from you and affects the well-being of others without your realizing it.
You have the quality of complete openness, absolute potential. You are connected to all beings. Everything is linked by the vastness of space.
You feel connected to all of life. You’re developing empathy for all beings and are beginning to understand others. You’re now noticing people’s similarities more than their differences and realizing that you’re at the dawning of your own conscious awakening.
Sometimes your worst antagonist is your greatest ally, whether knowingly, or unknowingly by either party.
Who else but those who love us most would agree to reside in a seat that receives so much expression, outburst, argument and complete freak out? Who would just kick back and endure that … for no reason?
There must be a divine purpose to the presence of all those who trigger us. They allow us to see ourselves, rawly, in the moment.
The reaction is often denial, yet how can one deny what is blatantly in the face? Apparent for ALL to see … no sense in denying it … may as well acknowledge it and at last see it.
Yesterday for me was a deep remembrance of intense pain. I was thankful for it being a memory only, for it was quite influential on my mental status for the day … even as the memory was from nearly three decades ago.
Yet … the seemingly cold hearted will say, “what does she expect, everyone to feel sorry for that, for her chosen self crucifixion” as tears roll down her face. They may perceive the moment as a pity party of sorts.
And we might say, “You bastard!” Jerk……. I’ve concluded that no one actually has the authority to tell me what my “process” must look like. This is my experience, unique to me. Of course many will not be in agreement or acceptance of it.
Someone else always seems to know best.
But then, if we are wise, we will evaluate the triggering phrase or event and see if it really does apply to our situation.
Harsh realities often are recognized by our worst antagonist … given to us for opportunity of ‘stretching’ the conscious capacity, growing beyond the trigger.
