New Attitudes ~ New Beginnings

Down The Rabbit Hole

Happy April All!
Allowed myself to skip putting out a March blog, although words were already flowing for it. It just didn’t feel peaceful. More and more, I am tuning in to my intuition even though it seems more and more contrary to conventional thinking. I am doing my best to take the action for the highest good of all….and that includes the highest good of myself. Each and every one of us are part of God and, I believe, if we treat ourselves and others that way, the world will be a brighter “godlier” place. Perhaps this is a new concept for you? What might happen if you tried this on for a bit? Could a new attitude help brighten your own world?

Spring, which the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing, often signals new beginnings. The Southern half of the globe is experiencing Autumn – still reminding us everything on planet earth has cycles. As frequently reflected, we can start a new beginning any day…. any moment. But sometimes the changing seasons can help support that more powerfully. It can also serve to remind us that nothing, in this physical reality, lasts forever. There are cycles – of growth, life, emotions… The Master is one who not only creates the waves but rides them expertly. Of course, you may choose just to relax a bit in a hammock between waves....or just create little waves 😉. 

The Hope Egg

Bunnies, Eggs, and Angels are often associated with Easter and Springtime. Was going to suggest eggs symbolize new beginnings but that must be the same for bunnies as new beginnings are associated very frequently with them 😉

Shell Angels

Included are some pieces of Clamshell Seascape Art as they would make a beautiful, unique find in an Easter hunt. Please ask for details (or more pics) if you are interested in any of my enchanting Gifts From The Sea creations for you or your Loved Ones.

Wishing You and Your Loved Ones a wonderful day, fresh new perspectives and many happy moments ~

These ARE My Monkeys ~ This IS My Circus!

June has rolled around and finds me composing yet another message for you. I really thought I'd be skipping a month, or maybe more, but this story wanted to come through. Perhaps there is ONE special person out there that needs to hear it right now.....

As you may recall from my May blog post, most typical human sayings, or idioms, don’t work for me. Perhaps you caught my thoughts on human expressions in Everything Happens for a Reason. Some have worked in one form at a certain point in my evolution – only to shift completely with a new level of awakening. That is exactly what happened recently. I had some sayings that helped me get through challenges like, “Be still and know that I AM GOD” and “This too shall pass.” I also used to look at particular human behaviors and reassure myself with, “Not my monkeys – Not my circus”. That is, until a recent profound aha moment. I realized These ARE my monkeys and this IS my circus! I create my own reality. My thoughts and energetic levels affect what I manifest in my life. I used to somewhat pity the folks who’d say, “they had no choice” as I could see/feel the victim mentality in which they were imprisoning themselves in a world of infinite possibilities. In fact, I was limiting myself with the “not my monkeys” thing. Taking responsibility is a much more empowered place for me. I’m not saying it’s for everyone as it may conflict with their belief of letting go of the things they cannot change. For me, it is not a conflict as we affect the world around us on so many different levels or dimensions. The more one opens their mind to the possibilities, the more one can experience that which is, sometimes beyond words difficult to express…..the more we can manifest what used to be called miracles regularly! We can be the change we wish to see in this world!

For me, my beliefs have some kind of images and/or feelings attached. If there are no mental pictures or emotions, it is challenging for me to have something desired show up in my reality. So the situations I’d previously used, “Not my monkeys…”, would also shift in stages. I began imagining regular monkeys dressed in fancy waistcoats like in a circus or performing with an organ grinder – Mind you I would never really want to see monkeys in captivity or forced to do anything. This is also the way I imaged people exhibiting less than “my” ideal behavior. The images would kind of flash back and forth between monkeys and humans in these waistcoats. Next, realizing if they really were my monkeys, I could have them behaving any way I pleased. The fancy waistcoats disappeared and they all grew wings – not like the dark winged monkeys in The Wizard of Oz but gossamer fairy wings. One by one, they each changed to every imaginable cheerful color of the rainbow.

In the next stage, each began to display - on their chests like Care Bear Cousins – symbols of significance to me…heart, triangle, ankh, infinity symbol, Fibonacci spiral etc. My mind went into great detail with this game of making this new belief part of my current reality. I know it sounds a bit silly but it is a process that helped me positively shift.

Do I really want to get involved in others’ problems and dysfunctional situations? Definitely not in the typical human sense. In fact, I make conscious choices that make those situations scarce in my world. However, as mentioned before, we concurrently live in so many layers and dimensions. As I become aware of less than desirable activities on this planet, I can energetically assist in a powerful manner. Not dwelling on the horrors, the challenges and the sadness, I surround the situation with love and imagine qualities I wish for them like peace, harmony, comfort and joy. This energetic “work” has similar effects to that of prayer. Surrounding any situation with positive energy, in whatever manner that resonates with you, is assisting in making this world a better place. Anyone who participates in this, IS helping BE the change we wish to see! Thank You for all your efforts and Congratulations on the great shifts you have assisted in bringing about – and those you continue to help with!

While I don’t have any beach crafts related to monkeys to share (although I did paint a darn cute Curious George statue when I was very young), Down the Rabbit Hole definitely relates to rainbows and traveling through various dimensions! Please Contact with your interest. And yes, the last pic is blurry intentionally 😉

Although I have discontinued my previous use of “Not my monkeys..” there is a funny variation I’ve used that may apply to you too -  “Not my monkeys, not my circus.  However, sometimes I’ve been seen driving around in the clown car!” 😄 Perhaps you can think of some colloquialisms you have used in the past? Colloquialisms that you might want to tweak a bit to make them more powerful for your personal use today. These sayings or recordings in our heads, whether spoken aloud or not, contribute to our reality. Do you want to live consciously or by default? Although there are no wrong answers, I encourage you to choose wisely. And for every bright new choice you make, Heaven celebrates and I thank you!

Wishing you rainbows and happiness
(monkeys optional)!

Programming and Rebirth

Ever notice that 99.9% of movies, video games and programming is violent/traumatic? Most humans don’t. They just accept it as the status quo. So called “kids’ movies” have people/animals being killed and children being traumatized. A vast majority have one or both parents dead or missing from small children's lives. Even comedy can’t exist without insulting or diminishing someone. Meanwhile, people are increasingly desensitized to the all the horror and see it as just the way life is. If anyone points this out, they are mocked for being soft or unreasonably sensitive.

Many of my own sleeping dreams are traumatic. I am lost or being chased or reliving dark experiences from my past. Perhaps my “nightmares” would simply be considered normal dreams to others. After all, that’s life. That may be life as it’s been but doesn’t need to be that way going forward.

It doesn’t help to get caught up in and focus on the darkness. We have walked through many challenging times in our lives including the current life shift. It is a necessary global adjustment and we influence how life will be on the other side. We can stop the cycle of trauma and desensitization by telling, and living, new joyful empowering stories. As we "re-birth" ourselves, we can show the next generation more love and a kinder “reality”.

Yes, I myself have used images from movies for the virtually universal ideas they convey. A magical lamp means wishes granted.  Elsa, hand extended, exudes owning your power and letting go of that which no longer serves. Sometimes, even I question my movie viewing and wonder if, perhaps, it contributes to the “way it is”. Then again, some movies, guised as fiction, may actually help some people begin to grasp things literally happening around them on this planet. Most people relate with, “Down the Rabbit Hole” and “Blue pill or the red pill?”

“Avatar” was actually a difficult movie for
me to watch. However, I was grateful for its popularity for the resulting wake up call it gave so many. Even some kids’ movies can powerfully get people thinking like “Smallfoot” as well as Dr. Seuss’ “Horton Hears A Who” and “The Lorax”. Perhaps it takes a few of these movies to help more open their eyes to realize they actually want, and have the power to create, a new reality. Maybe this medium facilitates their life-changing aha moment.

I wonder how many remember War of the Worlds? The panic and frenzy that was artificially created through a story (brainwashing/programming) is painfully clear. However, that was then and this is now. Increasing numbers are becoming more aware/awake. It is indeed a New Beginning. We are now re-birthing the next version of ourselves and our lives.

I just know there are great minds out there who can create peaceful and entertaining movies. Since these generally aren’t in the mainstream, consider searching out and supporting them. It may take a while to turn the tide as violence and drama sells. I invite you to consider how your life has been influenced by the ways you’ve been programmed by what you’ve watched and heard. How has that affected your behavior toward others? What can you do to shift the programming starting with yourself and then, possibly for others? You know, you can consciously reprogram your own mind. You can train yourself to see and BE the positive, sending out a ripple of Light. And, if you have any peaceful, happy movie recommendations, I’d love to hear them!


By the way… Do You Want to Build A Snowman? It doesn’t have to be a snowman. Actually, mine are made of sand or some other beachy medium. This cute little magnet (French Grandma Snowperson as my daughter sees it) will lift your spirits every time you see it.

Or, perhaps, other sea inspired magnets will attract you to them. Please visit Gifts From The Sea and Other Treasures on fb and message with your interest. You can also acquire sea treasures at Gifts From the Sea Shop on Etsy.

Oh, and May the Force Be With You!
