ALOHA Land

Moana - the movie – floated in my awareness before it came out due to previews at least six months prior. However, seeing/hearing/feeling this precious little princess singing How Far I’ll Go is what really fired me up to just have to see it. Like the line "where the sky meets the sea"……it called me. 😉Alas, a crazy series of events prevented me for a while - like many situations in my life! On the waiting list, for weeks, of the library in Florida, it finally became available two days before my departure. This could have been fine except when I stopped by the library to check if there was anything waiting for me they said no. A call came close to closing time that the DVD had been there but by then I was too far away. Debated the various ways I could possibly see it the next day. A bit disappointed, I realized it wouldn’t be peaceful with my planned driving departure time of 4:00am the following morning. Finally got to watch it for the first time in California with my “perfect daughter”. My senses stirred as I profoundly related on many levels! Later I shared this video with my parents. The result? They wanted to see Moana so we rented and watched together. In Washington, I showed my sis the video during my surprise visit for her birthday so ended up viewing the movie with her and my nephew. Eventually it came out on Netflix and something told me to experience it again. Found out later my sister had re-watched it the same day. Once I see a movie, I generally don’t like to view it again so this was a significant exception.

Meanwhile, in April I got Windi's reading I shared in post I AM HOME which guided me to look for a work exchange in the Hawaiian Islands. Reaching out to my Hawaii connections – about fifty or so, I hoped for a personal need or introduction. Mahalo to all who encouraged with ideas, introductions and bright energy. Nothing viable came to fruition via that avenue so I went the route of social media and craigslist. A number of back and forth communications ensued, yet nothing blossomed. Reluctantly I resorted to a resource I wasn’t thrilled about as you may recall from WORKAWAY – Not So Ethical? Workaway performed with its usual majority of hosts not getting back to me and those that did saying they didn’t need help now even though their profile page indicated they were actively looking at the time. So often I was tempted to make the “wrong” situation work just to make something happen. I’m very thankful I didn’t.

After investing hours on workaway reading through hundreds of host profiles – making notes, I sent a few dozen inquiries. True to prior experience, no one even responded save one who right away politely said he had enough help through January. I sent a second request to 5 who really had positive looking situations. Again, these didn’t pan out. After waiting a while, I spent more hours looking at secondary possibilities and sending more inquiries. One of these resulted in a very strange interaction that could be a whole blog story in itself about a place on Big Island previously known as Whalesong Sanctuary…..but I will Let It Go.

June was puzzling and full of wonder literally and figuratively. Among other activities, there was much puzzle-making with my parents…many colorful, interesting puzzles. There were more birthdays, including Yours Truly, and celebrations. As we know, everything happens for a positive reason. We may not be privy to that reason at the time or ever. I really thought I was going to be in Hawaii by the end of June. As July rolled in I was blessed with three powerful situations which clearly identified themselves as part of the reason I was still in California and not Hawaii. While challenging for those involved, I am grateful and honored for the part I was able to play in assisting.

Back at the Workaway Saga….I sent out a third round of queries. Since these were now not my first choices, I was prepared to be a little flexible with some of my wants. I asked a host(ess) if their place was walking distance to the beach as I was desiring to get back to my morning beach run ritual. Naomi replied promptly indicating it was a 40 minute walk but that beach was rocky although the water could be good for swimming. The are several beaches within a 10 minute drive as well. She left her phone number asking if I’d like to talk. Incidentally, her number included a combination of 4 of my magical numbers see ALOHA  A sign? Of course I wanted to talk! Babycare, midwifery, massage, yoga, meditation, fruit and vegetable garden, nestled in nature? Oh yeah! We seemed to click right away as we spoke although, at the time, neither of us completely realized the wealth we had to offer each other. So many amazing pieces fell perfectly into place one right after another. When I booked my flight there were only 2 seats left – one more than enough for me. From the time of our call to when my travel arrangements were all lined up was about an hour. Total synchronicity!

So July finally found me in Aloha Land. Of course, there will be more to share down the road. Where has Life found you? I am still in range for Telephone Wellness Coaching for those readers in the United States. Whether you live where you are or a traveler like myself, perhaps my gifts can enhance your journey? If wellness guidance seems appropriate for you, our biggest puzzle will probably be coordinating time zones. Swirling much Aloha your way. Mahalo nui loa for all your love and support as we all continue to evolve into Higher Versions of Ourselves!

P.S. Just wanted to remind folks that Freeworlder is now live and functional! It is a worldwide “place” of energetic flow. Join today to start giving and receiving….FREELY!!

Magic and Miracles

As per Merriam-Webster:

*Magic - a power that allows people (such as witches and wizards) to do impossible things by saying special words or performing special actions

*Miracle - an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is.” ~ a favorite quote of mine attributed to my friend, Albert Einstein. The way I see it is that we, people, are all part of God, the Universe or the Creative Source – however you wish to address the One Who is accurately unnameable with human words. So when people take godly action with “special” intent, magic and miracles are the result. Every One has magic in them and Every One is capable of manifesting miracles. That being said, I’d like to share with you some enchantment and delight in my experience.

Months back, I was still raw and recovering from the intensely disconcerting challenges I managed to open 2016 with. Earth Angels were hosting me in their warm home as I was in my “cocooning” process… Read previous blogs: Let It Go & Have Courage and Be Kind. It was a rare glorious sunshiny morning on their beach. Rare because, in that part of the world, much of the year the mornings begin foggy or overcast. Although I was doing my best to focus on and appreciate the sand under my bare feet, the warm sunshine on my skin, the hypnotic sounds of the waves…..my monkey mind kept taking over. “How could I have let myself get sucked in to such a dark situation?! Why didn’t I stop when I saw the red flags? I know I was following my guidance….maybe it wasn’t so reliable after all. Maybe I couldn’t ‘read’ anything. Maybe I didn’t have those ‘special’ abilities I’ve shared with a few others. Maybe I’m making all these things up.” Yup, the mental chatter continued ripping into me in spite of my constant efforts to shift my attention to brighter topics. Simultaneously with the “maybe I’m making all this up” nonsense tormenting my mind, I saw a mental picture. A heart ruby ring surrounded by tiny diamonds appeared. I was a bit confused as it looked like the heart shaped ruby ring I have often worn for years. In fact, that one graced my left ring finger as I walked. Again the mental image showed me the ring under the sand. “Yup, I'm really losing it now….this is all a figment of my fertile imagination!” I told myself. Still mentally berating myself, I almost continued walking. Then curiosity got the best of me. I took a step back and moved the sand where I “saw” the ruby heart ring beneath. Lo and behold I picked up a ring….with a heart shaped ruby surrounded by diamonds, extremely similar to the one I was currently wearing on my hand only there was a small piece of the band inside missing! Upon closer examination, the similarities to mine were uncanny.

It could have been made by the same company/designer as the one on my hand that had been lovingly gifted to me a couple decades ago. Sharing my miraculous story with a confidant in an effort to determine the meaning of this broken heart ring, she offered, “You are the treasure”. My sister added, “…that most people don’t see”. It was a treasure that most folks would not have seen indeed. The story goes on and on with a number of twists and turns along the way. It ended up being repaired and now I wear it also on the opposite hand as the other. When I found it I was totally doubting myself and my abilities. This was a direct result of allowing myself to be broken down earlier in the year second guessing everything I

knew. Wearing this miraculous ruby heart ring now is a sparkling reminder to me that I am whole and

complete and have access to the Infinite powers of God and the Universe as long as I remember and align myself in the proper manner to that energy.

Another Entity – Familiar – Energy that I align with is that of my playful Dolphins. It is impossible for me to even describe in human language my relationship with them. I “know” more things with them. My own power is enhanced and remembered more acutely through them. Near my Dolphin family, I feel an indescribably joy that fairly bursts from inside me. The secluded tropical beach home of my dreams is unquestionably near them as you may remember in Baring My Soul and Planting a Dream.  The last time I was in their physical presence was in Hawaii toward the end of last year..Aloha and Mahalo  I even had the magical opportunity to swim with them up close and personal – or, would that be, dolphinal? Whatever you call it, that was an intimate, almost outer-worldly experience. Yes, that is how I want to feel every day! That felt as close to my “natural state” as ever.

As mentioned earlier, we all have magical capabilities that include connecting with Dolphins, or whoever we wish to connect with, even when we are not in their physical presence. Spiritual or telepathic communion can be just as potent, if not more so, when we discover how to get on the same energetic wave length. Glimpses and snippets are all I personally have achieved at this point in time leaving me longing, at other times, for their uplifting loving company. Anne Gordon De Barrigon is a friend who hosts Whale and Dolphin retreats and observation trips in Panama and other locations. She knows how to communicate with our cetacean friends telepathically as well. This particular message from the Dolphins via Anne left me feeling they were in my presence again/still. My finned family has magically visited me in a number of other ways as well. Ready for one more story? Alright, I’ll keep it short and sweet.

While I was in the “right” place at the “right” time a number of weeks ago, the urge arose to travel back to a location where nature nurtured me more. I also longed to be in my Dolphins' physical presence. Starting to peacefully make plans to be on my way, my life turned on a dime once again. Literally, within an hour’s time, I knew without a doubt what my next mission was. Although thrilled with the clarity and prospect of making a positively magical difference, it wasn’t going to be anywhere near “nurturing nature”. Going to my new “assignment” in the octave of my magical birthday (Aloha), my dear friend and host mentioned she had a birthday gift for me. Keep in mind when we got together a few days before, she didn’t even know I was going to be in the area and suspected from a fb post when my birthday was. I was speechless when she presented the hand carved wooden sculpture she’d acquired from the artisan. Deeply moved to tears, I was sure the Dolphins were reminding me, through her intuitive kindness, that they were and are always with me.

The recent proverbial icing on the cake happened a few days ago. While having wistful thoughts about being with my dolphins I saw a message in my email. It was a glowing image reminding me of their constant presence via my friend. Maybe you feel the joy and connection with them too as you gaze upon this picture….

Please also feel my profound gratitude as you continue on this journey with me. Your support and love mean more to me than you know as well as the many ways Dolphin Energy is reflected from within your own hearts. Infinite oceans of blessings my friends…..

P.S. But wait! There's More! The day after I posted this, another dolphin miracle occurred. The intuitive, kind lady who gifted me the exquisite wood carved dolphins has an amazing son. He just returned from a cruise and was thoughtfully presenting his mom with gifts from his travels. To my surprise, I was called into the conversation. The young man had brought a gift for me! This was astonishing enough but the actual gift really put me over the top. It was a glass cube with a laser etched figure inside.....a mermaid riding a dolphin!! Realize he doesn't know me much, didn't consciously know a thing about my dolphin connection and was totally unaware of his mom's dolphin gift to me previously. I am soooo grateful for all the beautiful people in my life streaming joyous dolphin energy!!

Have Courage and Be Kind

Originally I entitled this blog post, “Dark Night of the Soul”. As time went by, and I slowly began to reclaim my power, I shifted my focus more on one of the phrases that helped me make it through. “Have Courage and Be Kind” might be recognized by other fairy tale aficionados. Fairy tales have been key in my life since, at very young age, I laid eager little hands on my first enchanted book. A myriad of reasons drew me into the world of fantasy. One might observe that fairy tales have as much dark in them as light. Hmmm…..that is
kind of like life. There is Light and Dark all around. We choose which to focus on and also which we wish to create more of – either consciously or unconsciously. Magic also drew me into tales lending to elements most everyday people don’t believe in, much less access. For me, there was more truth and joy in the enchanting stories I got lost in than what people presented as truth. Interestingly, many of the things that folks attributed to vivid imaginations are being “proven” today by “modern” science and countless people sharing their own experiences. Still, for those of us with “unusual” awareness, science can be painfully slow.

So……how many times is it necessary for this human to experience a “Dark Night of the Soul” until a full awakening? Perhaps the answer is in the question. As many times as it takes until a full awakening. If you are interested in looking in to this experience further, Gregg Prescott presents an interesting article "What to Remember When Facing the Dark Night of the Soul"

Encountering the snow and cold as you read in my previous post LET IT GO wasn’t the only experience I totally wasn’t anticipating…..

While I thought I was also past this, some small part of me must have still been exuding somewhat of a victim vibe. As many of you know, the energies we put out are matched with those that share resonance. So, inevitably, I managed unwittingly to attract someone who would accommodate my subconscious victim call. This was no Beauty and the Beast story as I had no clue of what I was about 

to encounter. Feeling a false sense of safety, I confided my private information and some very deep things including personal woundings from my past, to that individual, allowing myself to be extremely vulnerable. Instead of protecting that trust, the truth of what I shared was completely twisted and used repeatedly as ammunition against me. Over the months, I had semi-consciously permitted myself to be weakened both physically and emotionally. Thoughts of Prince Hans (Frozen) and King Stefan (Maleficent) swirl through my mind repeatedly....

Somehow, I have attracted this Jekyll and Hyde situation a number of times in my life. So, whatever it is in me that was calling that, I am so ready to release it. Like the feelings that no longer served me in my previous blog post, it’s time to Let It Go!

Hear Elsa’s voice in Frozen singing determined…. “Funny how some distance makes everything seem small. And the things that bothered me can’t get to me at all. Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know…….” What was I concealing? I was beginning to conceal my magnificence. In the process, I had to a certain extent not feel to have any sense that any of this was alright at all. Constantly second guessing myself, I was getting to the point I no longer even trusted my own intuition. Finally, I was able to make some distance from this dark situation physically.
It took weeks of cocooning in safe loving refuges to put the necessary distance emotionally and spiritually though. I am starting to feel more like my authentic magnificent self every day and can, once again, courageously declare….. “You have no power over me!” Yet one more situation transcended by the Light!






Are you living in your magnificent authenticity? Are the people surrounding you supportive and reflective of your own bright light? Are you being who you truly are or someone you feel you need to be for others? As someone able to see many angles of this human existence, perhaps I can guide you to a higher, more genuine way of living. If this stirs something deep inside you, with hopes of more fulfilling possibilities, perhaps Wellness Coaching via Phone is for you. If so, I look forward to your email and would be honored to serve you.

I have now reached the place again of clarity and remembrance of contracts made before arriving on planet earth. In this knowing, I am extremely grateful for all who have played their unique parts so perfectly thus far in my life.

Walking through both the Dark and Light has enabled me to reach a more profound level of BEING than ever. The world continues to brightly transform through the eyes and heart of deep compassion and loving kindness. A huge thank you especially to all you Earth Angels who have lovingly supported me through this experience. Waves of appreciation, also, to all my Mermaid, Dolphin and Fairy Friends.

LET IT GO……..

This is a phrase that has now flowed through me more times than I can count. It represented many

things over the years from letting go of material things, relationships that no longer served, situations I couldn’t change and more. How extremely ironic it was I went to see the movie Frozen in the theatre when it came out. How could sun and warmth loving me so relate to a movie with that title?? Anyone who knows me also knows of my aversion to the snow and cold. Nonetheless, a few who are a bit closer to me understand my connection and the many personal relevancies of that “fairytale”. In fact, my darling niece and great-niece felt inspired to send me an Elsa shirt with “Let It Go” as a cheerful reminder.

Recently I had an incredible, totally unexpected opportunity to “Let It Go” on an infinitely higher level than previously. If someone had described to me the month before my transformation, I would not have believed it and, furthermore, would not have gone. See earlier blog post  If I’d Have Known As is was, I did go full on  - physically and emotionally. To shorten the story to blog post length, I ended up agreeing to accompany a friend on a visit to his mom in the Northeastern region of the US….in the WINTER! What was I thinking?! The whole time I was traveling there, I couldn’t even believe my own actions and wondered what could have possibly possessed me. I entered into an almost altered state of reality.

When I first actually saw the “white stuff”, I was in a state of semi-denial. Arriving, there were actually only traces here and there. The next morning dawned a completely different story. Created by a blizzard from the night before, I looked out at what might have been a winter wonderland.

Instead, I recoiled inside and burst into tears. My stomach twisted in knots as my mind played images from long ago like a movie that would not stop. Reliving the painful feelings actually took me quite by surprise. While I knew I didn’t prefer the snow and cold, I thought I had thoroughly dealt with all these old experiences and was at peace with them. Obviously not. I burrowed back into the bed trying to shut it all out. Finally, I got myself together enough to be “sociable”.

When it was time to go out in the snow, another barrage of distressing emotions were triggered. By the way, going out in it meant the 3 seconds it took from being completely snow bunny bundled from head to toe in a heated house to a heated car. Then, of course, the reverse had to happen at our destination. The miles in between were almost non-existent as I closed my eyes imagining I was somewhere else. As the days went by, I’d open my eyes here and there. But all I saw was ugly and painful. The associations I made with sights and sounds were pretty much all negative. Then one day, I caught myself mentally noting how cute something was on someone’s house. Then something else was beautiful. That day was definitely a breakthrough as I slowly began noticing beauty all around. Finally I even got to the day where I saw the snow itself as glorious and magical. The height of my “healing” came the day I actually played in it.

I felt joy as if through the eyes of a child. Yet a wise child. It wasn’t as if nothing had happened before. It was knowing all that had transpired and getting back to the point of innocence, appreciation and wonder. I’d notice the occasional sunlight making the dancing frozen moisture appear as a zillion fairies at play. Crystalline prisms sparkled enchantment….in frozen fractals all around!

While I definitely wouldn’t have intentionally gone through this
transformational experience, my Wise Self evidently knew something little human me did not. I still am not crazy about being in the snow, do NOT like the cold and am still searching for my secluded dolphin retreat in the tropics. However, the deep dread about being in the cold and snow no longer has its grips on me. “You have no power over me!” This triumphant, awakened phrase from Sarah, in the movie The Labyrinth, was very poignant both with regard to the snow and old memories as well as what was imminently in store. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I absolutely would need renewed strength to make it through to the other side of the next challenge I unwittingly allowed to totally blindside me ……

Presently, I am going within to determine how and what to share in my next post via a manner that will be for the highest good and edification of all. In the meantime, do you ever feel as if life is pulling you in strange directions? …..like you might have fallen down the Rabbit Hole? Perhaps Wellness Coaching by Phone might assist you on your unique journey? If you’ve ever contemplated the idea, look HERE to decide if you are called to take the next enchanted step.
