Happy New Year All,

I write you this newsletter today in the first month of the new year, 2011. I had been waiting patiently sipping my tea and going about my usual beginning of the new year doings; organizing, cleaning, setting intentions, sharing time with loved ones, taking the trees and glitter down. Breathing, and pacing myself for the success and dreams of the new year. I kept waiting for my inspiration and “go ahead” to write my newsletter for the new month. I felt I had to wait for something. And then it came. Amidst the joy of the renewal of a new year, January sun shining down on us a great tragedy in Arizona prompted not only me to stop and look but somehow, many. This has obviously stirred a lot of emotion and pain up and out of us as a collective nation and gathered up a collective body of words and anger, pain and confusion. Sometimes it takes the the sacrifice of a few to awaken many. This is one of those times. The words and suffering of those who have power to infuse folks with the anger or power to take action will always affect some who take it the wrong way or literally. This is the problem with being in position of “power.” Like Spider-man was told “with great power comes great responsibility.” Of course Spiderman uses it to save lives and be a good example. On the other hand …well, you have those who want to hurt or harm.

Greetings, Friends near and Far

The August newsletter finally comes. In the later summer, with good weather here in Maine. Low humidity, sunshine, clear air. Such a gift, such a blessing. This sure has been a time of extremes and oddly, moments of peace in chaos. Weather extremes (Moscow, Pakistan) even here with great heat waves . The air of extreme seems to be on the lips of people coming in to see me and other blogs by healers, social commentators, and within all those who are awake. If there are issues that need one’s attention, well they seem to be knocking at the doorway for awareness fully. You may find that this is a time of what seems to be duality or contradiction. Hope for yourselves in issues of survival of your innermost dreams and goals at the same time with molehills that seem like mountains to climb-over.

Greetings!

In a warm office, looking out side through this warmth to a sunny day, cold in air, warm in heart, I greet you with news of winter and subtle movement. It is indeed mid winter most places. We however are feeling the call of a spring voice through the winter freeze. It beckons us daily with increasing light and springtime gardens, calling us. Isn’t that simply the way it works? Each winter in the bleakest part where it feels like there is no end, some other louder interior voice reminds us that not far way there are plans brewing for the trumpets of spring to sound. It is like this in our own spiritual journey. Just when the darkness, the dragons of the past, seem to try to bring us to the depths, do we suddenly have the epiphany, the breakthrough, the change show itself to us and rise up, Phoenix like. This is happening all over, I am witnessing it in many of my clients. I feel an odd quivering of joy and awakening within the Universe, both within the stars and within and upon the earth, our hearts. One might say that in the witnessing of the earth shaking and with the dutiful and tragic scarifies of the people of Haiti and the like, the positive side effect is a tremor of a new kind. The opening of hearts.

Happy Holidays All the People

Hello to you all in the month of Holidays and events and gatherings. As I sit to write to you I have been in prayer for this nation, and the nations we attach ourselves to. I pray for all nations to have Peace. I pray for the desire for simplicity and connection to enter into the minds and hearts of those who have not experienced it. I sit in prayer to those who need healing from loss, for scars from old wounds both seen and unseen. I sit with God and ask the Light to administer Its luster to those who need it. For those who push it or people away. For all to have and feel and know love. My mind and heart are generating the truths of a season based upon the Love of a power known to us all, but somehow we have lost our way from this. For this IS the season of Light and commonwealth. Somehow everyone can see many people who’s priorities have been lost on the shadow world of needs based upon a feeling of needing control. As nature constantly reminds us, letting go is often the best way by showing us the general idea that in letting go of this power, true power comes to us. Whether it is fear, or pain, scarcity or lack that controls our emotions this season (and through out the year) it brings us to our knees asking ..”What matters? Where is my joy? love? abundance?” Often we forget to look inside our selves for this answer. Constantly adding to the theory of the grass needing to be greener. If you have nothing to give for your feeling of lack, a simple hug or word of goodness or some Grace to another person, community or cause is all you need give. Or putting your resources together to build something together could be a gift of true joy. How do we find the spirit of the days in the dark times or dark months or within a dark or lost heart? Look to any example of any person doing good for others, making people laugh, making good music, writing good stories or creating small hopes. There lies a bit of a spark for you. Too much information in the information highway often gets us to get lost in a maze of goods and ads and temptations.

Hello Beloved People,

My life has been a whirlwind lately, has yours? I have been waiting patiently for Spirit to find the right day, the right time, the right moment for me to write my newsletter to you and it has come, finally. There has been much fear and pain in the news, and in the media as of late. As the weather begins to grow cold here in the northeast we are turning inward again, awaiting the winter’s solstice and the beginning of the days where despite bitter winds and snows, we know the days begin to slowly get lighter again. Now we are being asked to go within and see where our fears are and what is causing it. I am again reminded to ask you to find out where your own inner strengths are and to help you understand what your fears are and what are anothers. Maybe just maybe, a hurt that was caused in any circumstance might just be the tender wound of an others vulnerabilities, or maybe it is of a whole wounded mass consciousness.
