More Questions and Always….Appreciation

Here I am….posting another blog message – almost a surprise to myself. Right after telling people they could follow me on blogger and thus get notified about my messages, I find out that Feedburner – evidently the addon that enabled such – is discontinuing this service in July. And it turns out my emails, for the last few months, have been going to people’s spam folders – particularly gmail accounts. I have no progress to report on “that” Tropical Spa Retreat…or even hints. It really seems there is one reason after another to discontinue my messages. However, all I need is one good reason to make a new post. And Spirit has given the green flag yet again.

As you are aware, everything is energy. So many folks are pining for the way things were and desperately trying to go back to the “old ways”. What they fail to recognize is that all those old systems were, in some way, broken or dysfunctional. Oh, they were functional for something – for getting us collectively to the point we are right now. If everything is energy, how did we get here? You can come to your own conclusions by following the energy. Follow the strongest emotions of the majority of mankind. Follow the greatest flow of money. Then, things will become clear. Thankfully, more and more are awakening to this understanding. They are consciously becoming aware of their thoughts (energy) and redirecting them in more desirable directions. Increasing numbers are spending their money more consciously - choosing to let their money speak by not investing in companies trying to “keep” the old destructive ways, and instead, supporting people, businesses and causes that are making this world a brighter place.

Speaking of the old ways, there are many old adages that aren’t particularly healthy or helpful either. Recently, on fb, I re-shared a “memory” of my kids when they were little. It was accompanied by this musing of mine, “That concept, ‘Live each day as if it were your last’ never worked for me since it was first introduced to me by a coach decades ago. I'd spend the whole day saying good-bye to my kids. Pretty sure they don't want to do THAT every day!” Another frequent example is someone trying to encourage another saying there are lots of others going through the same thing as you. Or, you’re not the only one with this particular challenge. While misery loves company might work for some people, it doesn’t make me happy knowing others are sad or challenged too. If I am in a (temporary) low place, thinking someone else is feeling the same would only make things worse. My point is not to tell you which sayings or beliefs are good or bad. I am simply suggesting you reconsider doing or thinking things just because you always have done and thought that way in the past. Consciously, rethink what was previously your automatic thinking. Perhaps there are some of the “old ways” that you might benefit from letting go of or updating for who you are now. Perhaps there are even new ways you’d never considered before simply because you were too attached or stuck in old way habits.

I remember a story I heard a while back that’s a great example of

doing things a certain way just because that’s how they were always done – Grandmother’s Ham. While there are various versions, it goes something like this:
A husband and his wife were in their kitchen. The husband was sitting in the kitchen while his wife was preparing a ham for dinner. The husband watched the wife cut off about one inch from either end of the ham. He asked why she cut the end off, saying “that’s a waste of good ham!” She said “that’s the way my mom prepared the ham.” The husband asked “why did your mom cut the ends off?” The wife didn’t know. Later, the wife called her mom to find out why she cut the ends of the ham off. Her mom said “because that was the way my mom prepared ham.”

The wife’s grandma passed away several years earlier, but her Grandpa was still living. She called her Grandpa and asked “Grandpa, why did Grandma cut the ends off of the ham?” He was silent as he thought for a moment. Then he replied, “so the ham could fit in the baking pan.”

 

Here is a beautiful excerpt from visionsofheaven.com ~ “In order to birth a new world, you as a collective human race, are dying to the old one. There will be no 'going back' to normal. There will be only 'going forward', and it is a glorious reality you are moving towards, even in spite of all the birthing contractions you continue to witness.”

What am I going to do from this point? Almost every aspect of technology is working “different” for me than it is “supposed” to....or is it? Perhaps all those “break downs” are guiding me onto new paths. Perhaps even my previous goals/visions are being re-written into something grander that even I could have imagined. I am definitely open to new possibilities. Living in trust is really second nature to me now. And I am super grateful that I always know my very next best step. No doubt when you take care of yourself, trust God ~ the Universe, and act mindfully, you will know your very next best step too!

 

As you know, I love to assist my friends any way I peacefully can. I have introduced this amazing gal before who is definitely helping bring about a new, brighter world. Nora Dunn – the Professional Hobo as she likes to call herself – has traveling long term down to a science. I am aware of many people starting to change their priorities over the past couple years. A surprising number have even expressed interest in spending more time in nature for extended periods of time. Whether local or across the world, Nora can definitely provide extensive guidance for those considering the leap…or hop….or flight. She is now offering one on one coaching both for long distance, long term travel as well as alternatives to travel while enjoying many of the benefits.

Nora gives aspiring long-term travelers (remote workers, early retirees, and more) confidence to hit the road, knowing they have arranged absolutely everything in the best way possible for them. This includes finances, logistics, emotions, and more - she helps you look at the whole picture so you can manage your affairs and travel safely, effectively, and stress-free. Learn from her 15 years of long-term travel; she made all the "mistakes" so you don’t have to! 

She does all this through 800+ articles on her website, an inspirational YouTube interview series, and most recently personal consulting. You can book a free 15-minute consultation with Nora here - and make sure you let her know I referred you! 😄

Whatever is going on in my life, there are always more blessings than I can count in and around me. No doubt this is true for you too if you really look.

In that spirit, please feel my deep appreciation for your presence in my life. Whether up close and personal or perhaps simply reading my writing, we each help shape each other’s lives. Together we are creating a brighter future…..a wonderful new world!

You Never Walk Alone

From Mexico, I was mentally repacking for my next adventure to the magnificent Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Excitement was building as I’d been playing so many different angles to bring this to fruition for a very long time. I was looking forward to caring for and playing with 3 year-old twins as well as helping their parents in their dive shop. At the last minute, in a strange twist of fate, they got someone else to help “that could come right away”. Humanly speaking, I was pretty disappointed to say the least. On a higher level, I expressed gratitude knowing this, like numerous previous opportunities that had mysteriously fallen through, was me being protected from an undesirable situation. Better stated, I was being guided in a more favorable direction; one better in line with fulfilling my higher purpose here. Yet again, I ended up in California. 

Spirit has spoken to me through songs, among other ways, since I was young. One day, a song came to mind I hadn’t heard in a long time. It was accompanied by a wave of intense emotion, for which I have no accurate label....along with tears. I tried to sing, “When You Walk Through A Storm” out loud. I couldn’t do so without being choked up by tears at a certain point toward the beginning of the song. I'd never actually seen Carousel, from which it originated, or even knew where it came from until I checked online.  Interestingly, I realized I’d drop off right about where Julie Bigelow did in the musical/movie. It wasn’t until very recently that I was finally able to sing it through without crying. It helped that I was in a physical location that nurtured my mind, body and spirit for that to happen. Other than that, my life is nothing like the musical – except for it seeming to go around in circles with its constant ups and downs. Occasionally, I know exactly why I am given a certain message or guidance or sign. More often than not, I muse about the possible meanings of things. I wonder what I can get from the information – a lesson, something to appreciate, the knowing I helped someone even though I don’t know exactly how. Sometimes, I simply accept the sign or synchronicity as confirmation that I am in the perfect place in the perfect time.

You can enjoy the uplifting, but possibly tear-jerking, clip from Carousel here…or this beautiful rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone” by Celtic Woman.

If you happened to read Halloween, Wisdom and Gifts From The Sea, you are already aware of my Mother/Daughter venture with our “treasures” featured on etsy. Here’s another sampling of our offerings:

Often, I post on my fb page, Michelle H Coaching, things to inspire readers. Many upliftments are thanks to Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations With God. This one seemed an appropriate compliment to this blog post theme:"On this day of your life Dear One, I believe God wants you to know ...

... that you are never alone. Never, ever, ever. God is

always with you, and you have people all around you

who care.

Sometimes it feels good to spend some time by your-

self, but remember, too, that it is okay to reach out to

another if you feel lonely. You would want him or her

to reach out to you, no? So what are you waiting for?

You will not have to think but a second to know

exactly why you received this message today.

Love, your Friend ... Neale"

Expressing ongoing gratitude for all the Angels in my life that protect, support and nudge me along on my path. I know you and I never walk alone!

About That Tropical Spa Retreat…….

Those who know me or have been “following” me for years are also aware of my pursuit of a Tropical Spa Retreat. Its concept and details were “downloaded” to me years ago (15 or more) while still living in California. Since that time I have contacted thousands of people, researched extensively, traveled to many countries, considered numerous offers/possibilities and, so far, still not manifested this tropical sanctuary.

Obviously, we have infinite possible futures. Every action we take, every word we speak and every thought we think has the ability to shift the path we are on. Perhaps that Tropical Spa Retreat was one potential future and I took some action that changed it. This is not a conclusive fact as there is always the chance for it yet to materialize sometime in my future. I am still open to the possibilities and taking inspired action. Curiously, I cannot say I am passionate about the idea any longer – at least the way it was presented to me all those years ago. What has my attention more profoundly is my tropical home that first started to appear as a recurring night dream described in my blog post Baring My Soul and Planting A Dream Although I did not first conjure up the vision in my waking imagination, the more details I am provided and the more I contemplate it, the more intensely I desire it - which brings me to my next observation.

Often I reference the term “past lives”. The reason for such is, whether folks believe in reincarnation or not, they understand the concept. However, my understanding is that time and space are creations for human minds as most can’t compute everything going on simultaneously. Personally I believe in my living other lives, for one reason, I remember snippets of many of them. An excellent, striking example is My Pirate Story So if everything is going on at the same time, and if I sense so many intense details of my tropical beach home repeatedly, perhaps there is some kind of “bleed-through” from another dimension or timeline. So vivid are the sensations, at times, I really feel I am living it! Just in case it is on this beautiful planet in this present lifetime, I continue to search for doors that may lead me there.

Jumping back to the more current “NOW”…..I thought I was headed to California in January. Even had my trusty Triptik all lined up. Just days before I would have left, a couple Earth Angels generously put a quite comfortable roof over my head in Florida. It was a good thing. The next day my daughter called saying she was coming to Florida to spend time with me for her birthday. My original idea was to just drive to California and surprise my family there. Heaven shifted my plans so I wasn’t heading to California as Natasha was heading to Florida! With only 3 full days together, we had a whirlwind of fun. Beach, working out, pampering, yummy food, introducing to friends, museums, a painting party and, of course, shopping…. Happy Birthday BabyGirl! So thrilled for our precious time together!

As usual, every year after Natasha’s birthday comes another celebration I cherish, Valentine’s Day. Over the decades I have experienced some very heavy reasons to warrant an intense distaste for the annual event. Yet, I am happy to report, it remains my favorite “holiday”. Of course I don’t need an actual day specifically in honor of Love. Just like one needn’t wait for New Year’s Day to make a fresh start. For me, every day is Valentine’s Day when I remember to see and act through the eyes of Love…..unconditional Love, that is!

My next big steps still elude me. Madagascar and surrounding islands off the east coast of Africa are presenting quite a bit. Research on the internet is a given but the Universe hasn’t shown me a way to physically explore yet. Anyone want to take me on a trip there with them? Might be just the ticket for getting out of an old groove OR enjoying some delightful weather OR living an adventure OR possibly being a part of something grand J

At present, I continue taking baby steps walking my talk:
Letting Go of the old that no longer serves me.
Not beating down doors or forcing things.
Listening to my inner guidance.
Making choices that bring most peace.
Living in the NOW.
Going with the flow.

Perhaps you are too?

Some of you Beautiful Beings have been sharing my journey and supporting me for years - maybe lifetimes. Thank you for staying by my side. Others have recently jumped onboard. Whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime, I am grateful for you all. Sending bright energy your way. Happy LOVE Day!

ANASTASIA....And Amazon

While English is the language I grew up with, clear human communication has always been a challenge for me. The meanings of the words do not represent fully what I desire to express. For many people too, the very same word will conjure up a plethora of different meanings. This was one reason I generally did much better one on one

Personal Wellness Coaching than presenting to or teaching a group. I got a better sense of what the words meant to each individual and was able to put them together in a way that would mutually benefit.

There is so much profound information I’d love to share with people who are open and ready to listen. For this reason I am extremely excited about someone I’ve discovered in recent years, Anastasia! This lady was born and grew up almost on her own in the wilds of the Siberian taiga. Her wisdom most closely reflects my knowledge of anyone I’ve encountered. Anastasia knows how to group words together in a manner that will create positive images most people will understand. While her body adjusts from her warm weather to her freezing winters without having to add clothes, I admit I am called to the tropics and don’t know if I will ever adjust to cold in this lifetime.

Another “frustration” (for lack of a more appropriate word) is I have vivid remembrances of capabilities I no longer remember how to use. Really, walking on water or through walls is something we all are capable of if we could but recall. Of course not everyone has the desire to use these abilities. It isn’t that important for me to access the aforementioned two. However, clear communication without today’s technologies is something I intend to recapture. While I currently rely on my cell phone and computer for communication, Anastasia had no need for them as she can access any information, anywhere that she desires  - instantly! Yes, we are all capable of that too if we choose to remember how. Some people know it as tapping into "The Field" or accessing the Akashic Records.

So why am I excited? Because within days, you can have the book, “Anastasia” in your own hands (or Kindle) and experience your own miracles in the reading of it. It is the first of nine books written by Vladimir Megre, to whom she gave this information, in The Ringing Cedars Series. I guarantee, if you read it with an open loving heart, you will find a number of gems specific for you. Since I could not personally disseminate this information with my words, Anastasia has given me a gift of hers to share with you.

When I get some technical assistance in the unknown future, hopefully the links in the Universal Wellness Website's Virtual Mall will all be functional again. In the meantime, if you'd like to get the book Anastasia or do any other AMAZON shopping, I'd greatly appreciate if you enter Amazon through my link to do so. I will get a small commission on your purchases which will translate into big assistance as I continue my Incredible Journey! You can also access the book directly HERE .....

I was also wishing for a feedback section on my website so that we can be on this journey together as you read the books. For now, maybe you can post your input in the comments section of this blog post. Looking forward to our new “dance” together!

Destination Unknown

Who was that person named Michelle Hazlewood who had 1 year, 5 year, 10 year and more plans all plotted out? Who was that person with all those specific worldly goals? It sure seems like another individual than I am right now and, possibly, another lifetime! Current ME has goals like peace and happiness in the NOW moment. Where I will be to live those goals tomorrow, next week or next month continue to remain elusive. It is becoming more natural for me to go with the flow – even when that flow takes me places I thought I’d never go in my wildest imagination. Good thing “never” is not in my usual vocabulary.

December’s end and January certainly brought me to completely unexpected destinations and experiences. It’s not important that I share the specific details – only that my spiritual growth has expanded in leaps and bounds beyond anything I would have thought. I ask the Universe for certain lessons, or “remembrances”, manifested in the best way for me. Sure enough, a Higher Power knows better than my human self how to deliver!

So my main share in this blog post, from my personal encounters, is this. I recommend you define your goals, say your prayers or put out your requests to God or The Universe but not be attached to all the specific “hows” and even the exact outcomes. While you could get what you think you what with your human recipe, you may be limiting the grand gifts you could be receiving. It’s fine to have or follow a certain formula – I just suggest you add, “this or something better” and allow for flexibility in your process.
If you’d like to play with this whole idea together, perhaps you’d like to consider Telephone Wellness Coaching. Together we could create…..A Whole New World!

It’s been over a decade now since I received, what I refer to as, the "download" regarding a Tropical Dolphin Spa Retreat Center. Many details were revealed to me then, with equal amounts left mysterious. The whole picture was in the realm of my capabilities but not necessarily my personal dreams/desires. Reflecting on various aspects, I decided, if it were for the highest and best good of all, things would fall into place for this manifestation. If this was indeed Divinely inspired, I would joyfully walk through necessary doors but would not break down doors.

Since that event, so long ago, my journey has taken me through a variety of interesting situations in many parts of the world. Travel with me, if you so desire, by subscribing to my blog or perusing previous posts. Sometimes I wonder if any of these adventures are bringing me closer to that tropical retreat vision. God, the Universe, often works in ways mysterious to humankind and this may be a perfect example.

Even now, I continue to walk through the doors presenting to me and one particular opportunity keeps popping up as a key puzzle piece – moving my lots in Costa Rica. That gorgeous property was from a time of different energy in my life. My former husband and I purchased it with expectations of building our dream home there. While the land is definitely magnificent and in close proximity to jungle and beach, it is not appropriate for the new energy necessary for the development of the retreat haven I am envisioning. So I believe it is necessary to sell or trade it in order to open the door to acquire land more suitable for that place “shown to me”.

With that in mind, I am again requesting your assistance in making the appropriate contacts for this to come to fruition. Please check out and share the new pages on my Universal Wellness website dedicated to Costa Rica Land for Sale or Trade: TWO Lots 1-Ocean View.94 acre 2-Tropical Forest w Creek.55 acre Combined Value $158,000 for Cash, Land, Boat or House I also have a facebook page with details, pics and many interesting tidbits about Costa Rica. If you are on fb, please LIKE my page to help increase exposure there.

Whether you’ve just met me on my path now or have been honoring me with your presence on the journey for years, I am deeply grateful! I know it is hard to keep up with all the technology these days but a line or two about how you are doing is invited and appreciated too.
