If I’d Have Known…..

If I would have known the outcome of my first marriage, I never would have married. If I knew what awaited me in Florida, I never would have moved there. If I knew what would happen throughout my second marriage, I certainly would not have married - again. If I knew where my move to Panama would lead, I would never have braved that fateful journey with my six suitcases in tow. If I knew the upcoming happenings in Costa Rica, I wouldn’t have traveled there either.

If I’d have known the region name, Manabi, meant desert, I definitely would not have come. Things would certainly have made more sense to me as I puzzled at the less than desirable dry surroundings when I landed in Manta, Ecuador and during the taxi drive to Puerto Cayo. That was just the beginning of the interesting surprises for me there. If I’d have known how things would develop, I never would have come.

Here in Ecuador unfolded another case of someone misrepresenting their situation. I flew off to assist at a “resort” with a “restaurant”. Upon my arrival, I found the place to be neither. “Little Me” wanted to turn around and run someplace else.

Regardless of those feelings, I still could have assisted. I could have helped change the tide. In spite of all my dedication and efforts, there were no apparent significant shifts. The owner simply wasn’t ready……or perhaps he was! Maybe he was perfectly ready to provide me with those exact circumstances for my growth. There is no victimhood for me and I realize, on some level, I create or co-create my circumstances. This scene in the play of my life fulfilled many purposes. One of these was to strengthen my conviction that I can, not only handle anything that comes my way, I can walk through it in peace and joy. My monkey mind screams, “Here we go again. What’s the matter with you? Don’t you get it yet?” Yet nothing is the matter. All is well. Maybe I don’t get “it” all yet but my connection to Source allows me to know I am still on the right path for me.

Los Suenos del Mar was exactly where I was supposed to be at the time even if it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. The “Dreams of the Sea” part was clearly one of the greatest gems of my experience there. My room backed directly onto the wide expanse of beach so the lullaby of the waves was a soothing constant. No matter what was going on, that one simple factor kept me in peace always. Throughout my stay, I had a no doubt knowing that it was where I was “supposed” to be. A number of details sparkled showing me some of the reasons for my presence/presents. Alyssa was another work exchange traveler, very briefly there, with whom I made a warm connection. Mary, originally from Texas, had Providence lead her to building her house in the development right next door….and meeting me on the beach. We brightened each other’s lives in more delightful ways than I can count. The Universe sometimes operates in mysterious ways. I had put out the desire to remember and reconnect with my power and previous wisdom regarding crystal energy. To my complete amazement, I discovered dozens upon dozens of quartz and quartz crystals on the beach.

Numerous varieties included amethyst, rose, amber and, of course, white. Quartz is often referred to as the Universal Crystal because of its many uses. It enhances energy by absorbing, storing, amplifying, balancing, focusing and transmitting. It channels universal energy. Quartz also enhances thoughts, as they are a form of energy. Because it directs and amplifies energy, it is extremely beneficial for manifesting, healing, meditation, protection, and channeling. From the magical crystal abundance on the beach, I joyfully collected many for unique gifts, personal use, and perhaps other reasons yet to be shown me. I’m not so sure of any impact I may have had on the people of Suenos del Mar. I worked my best to assist them but it was their choice to keep doing the same things that kept them in the same place. I believe this aspect was maybe more for me than for them. Many times in my past I have worked to help people shift and empower themselves only to have them keep going in their own circles. Perhaps it was for me to recognize the situation around certain peoples’ choices, know when I could do no more for them and move on…in peace. When I shared this with a friend, she complimented me on recognizing the pattern within weeks instead of years. Evidently I don’t need to keep “repeating” that one.

If I’d have known in advance….that’s just the thing. I had no idea and that is the blessing. I was meant to go all these places and have all these experiences for my highest good and that of all around me. For example, if I hadn’t married the first time, my beautiful daughter and son would not be here now…..and I know they certainly wished to play on Planet Earth!

While my human self would have made way different choices with a properly functioning crystal ball, the part of me that is divine sees how perfect every step of my journey has been and continues to be. Sometimes I’m privy to see the peoples’ lives I’ve touched in profound ways. Occasionally, I feel like I am in on the itinerary that I realize I myself created. And constantly, should I choose to stand in appreciation, I can see beauty and miracles along the way in every situation I have been in. Indeed I have been blessed with an exceptional holiday gift in my current location. But that's a story for another day!

 

Thank you for your constant accompaniment of this journey. It is my sincere hope that my experiences have edified and perhaps led to some brighter ways in your life as well. If it resonates with you, perhaps now is a good time to investigate ways to support you and your loved ones health Juice Plus and/or the Tower Garden. It would be a positive gift for yourself and the Planet; as well as assisting me in my travels. You will probably find all the info you need to decide via the links. If not, feel free to email me.

Wishing You the most Joyous Magical Holiday Season! Abundant Blessings of the Sea to You and Your Loved Ones!

 

The “T” Word

After my daughter’s wedding in August, I had no clue what was next. I was totally operating on what a Soul Sister and I refer to as the “T” word. Friends of my blog know I have referred to this before….T standing for Trust. For the most part, I am becoming somewhat of a master in knowing what step I should take next and trusting in the Universe that step is always in the perfect direction. The perfect direction, that is, for my highest good and that of all I encounter. It may not always

appear that way to my human self or others but sometimes God operates in mysterious ways. During this time, I got to see a few wonderful friends and previous clients as well. I was blessed to enjoy time with my family too. Among other joys, this was the greatest Halloween for me with my precious

kids since they were young. Even I dressed up for the occasion as tenacious Princess Leia – perfectly outfitted by my daughter down to the cinnamon bun wig and attending my son’s pumpkin carving and Halloween parties.

Among the situations I encountered, writing came up in a number of ways for me. The future will show if I am to pursue any of them. Travel writing may be one avenue for me. I would like to develop my blog a bit more as well. In the past I have put it out there, but am doing so again as it keeps showing up. I am looking for someone with excellent web design skills who will help me put together a blog similar to my friend Nora, The Professional Hobo www.theprofessionalhobo.com , whom I admire greatly for many reasons. I am great at writing content but don’t have the time or desire to do the design or other techy stuff required for this to be successful. While I do enjoy and will continue to provide services and goods in trade, this kind of website would enable me to make some money for the needs I have in this life that still require it. This evolved tech expert would be willing to donate, trade or generously discount his/her work if interested. Any leads toward this end are greatly appreciated.

Speaking about God/Goddess operating in mysterious ways…..I have been researching numerous locations in different countries for various prospects over a decade now. My inspired Tropical Dolphin Retreat pushed me to start looking for appropriate locations, possible opportunities for me to partner or learn what I’d need to proceed or places to care-take to assist me in such. It is just wild that, after all these years and research, I’d just now come across 2 websites (that have been around for years) that would initiate the next chapter of my journey – www.workaway.info and www.helpx.net . Within weeks, I found the websites, joined and, with the aid of my Angels, was off to my next destination. Here’s a tease about where that is…..a snippet of what my current host posted on one of the sites: Beachfront hotel in need of 2 to 4 helpers to cook, wait tables and maintain the restaurant, clean guest rooms, clean up beachfront and hotel grounds, water plants, tend to the bar, check guests in and out, etc. We also have 13 hectares about 45 minutes away by car that we are turning into a permaculture food forest and we need workers to help with planting, water and energy systems, and the construction of housing on the property.

So here I swing in a tasseled hammock, palm fronds waving in the salty breeze above me, listening to

the constant lullaby of the sea……

Life is but a dream and Trust sure helps to make it a delightful one!

Que Sera Sera

Whatever will be, will be…. While the future is not always ours to see, we do have a lot of impact on what “will be” and on what we focus on.

The butterfly said to the sun, “They can’t stop talking about my transformation. I can only do it once in my lifetime. If only they knew, they can do it at any time and in countless ways.” ~Dodinsky~ I got this loving reminder from one of my beautiful SeaStar's, Tania Marie’s blog http://taniamarieartist.wordpress.com/author/taniamarieartist/ . I do not know exactly what is in the future but I can make infinite choices in my NOW! So I am choosing to focus on as much beauty and delight in every moment…. Hearing the roar of ocean waves, inhaling the delicate scent of jasmine, allowing my heart to be melted by a baby’s smile, savoring the taste of rich dark chocolate, being rushed by a new puppy wiggling up for some love, witnessing a glorious multi-colored sunset

over the sea….. In my world, like perhaps yours, many challenges arise. Situations abound that aren’t my preference and the unknowns of the future can take up precious space in my awareness. It is at those times I make a conscious choice to transform myself by shifting my attention to what delights me and what I am grateful for.

“Que sera, sera” also reflects my grasp of the Spanish language…Somewhat improper. A few folks may notice that the phrase and title of the popular 1956 song are not grammatically correct in Spanish, Italian or French. Years ago I started learning Spanish with a recorded program only to be told by a Spanish speaking individual that no one really speaks “like that”. I have found, first hand, while Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama, Costa Rica and other countries all speak “Spanish”, they do not all speak the same language – so much so that “Spanish” speaking people from different countries don’t always understand each other! While I still play with a little Spanish here and there, I have postponed any more serious learning until it looks like I may be in a certain Spanish speaking country for an extended period of time. And why do I even bring this up? Because that particular song inspired this post and almost all the places I have been guided to (aside from Florida and Hawaii) have been Spanish language countries. I still have a sense there will be a Spanish influence in my future and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

My recent travels have taken me to Ventura County, CA.

So many gifts were bestowed on me both directly and indirectly by my gracious hosts in Ventura. I was blessed with much quiet time which always helps me renew and remember powerfully. Since the beach was close by, I indulged daily – sometimes twice a day. Although my dolphin friends seemed to hide from me most of my stay, they certainly made it up to me with a grand finale the day I left…putting on quite a show and interacting with me for over an hour. Of course, my participation was from the shore as this is still California (and I wasn’t wearing a wetsuit). It was, however, unseasonably warm in general for the area while I was there which made it perfect most of the time for me. As with everywhere I go, I had the opportunity to meet and interact with several people in remarkable ways confirming the

“rightness” of where I was….when I was. I put myself in line for “whatever will be…..”. I aligned my choices with the infinite possibilities of the future to have the beautiful, touching, fun and surprising outcomes that I was fortunate to experience. Because of my choices, I was able to assist and contribute in so many ways I thoroughly enjoyed. Yet all this unfolded a little at a time. I didn’t know much in advance how anything would look. That’s how I go with the part– “the future’s not ours to see”.

I invite you to join me in dancing in the NOW, enjoying the moment as best as we possibly can and align ourselves with the outcomes we desire each and every moment! I am currently aligning myself with my next tropical journey

and, in the meantime, focusing on all my blessings in the now. If you think you are ready for a bit of a shift in your life and would like some “out of the box” guidance, I am currently available for Telephone Wellness Coaching. This is a limited time offer (not like the hyped invented limited time offers to manipulate you into taking immediate action – it’s just the way it is) as my travels do not always accommodate the necessary communication. My commitment to you as a guide is paramount and you will get phenomenal results when we work/play together. For more details go to http://www.universalwellness.us/services/index.asp

I can never express my appreciation enough in words but my heart does an excellent job of swimming in gratitude for all of you, my supporters and Angels!!

Enjoy your journey this moment today and make the best of…whatever will be.

Mission Unclear?

My primary underlying life mission is 100% clear. It is to Love……to shine Light….to assist humans in Awakening…...to help Elevate the vibration of Gaia. From this standpoint I always know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, I am always in the absolutely perfect place in the absolute perfect Divine time.

What is sometimes unclear to me is the Illusion of things happening around me and what I sometimes think they mean. This happened recently when I thought I was going to Florida to acquire a property for the start of my Tropical Dolphin Retreat. It was a delightful property I had been in love with since

I first set foot on Casey Key, Florida in 2005. It is a charming 4 unit complex right across the street from the beach and on the bay with a place to dock 3 boats in back. I had even managed this lovely spot for vacation rentals back in 2010-2011. A crazy amazing series of events brought me to the point of driving from CA to FL with the main goal (in my mind) to get this property back in June. I had been researching and taking the steps of due diligence for over a month prior. It continued in my initial days in Florida as well. There were quite a number of Earth Angels helping facilitate my adventure throughout all this. I found it interesting that in one short hour the apparent “mission” peaked and fell. A unique way to possibly pull the deal off appeared followed immediately by information that made it clear to me I would not be able to operate as I desired from it. While it would have been nice for the Retreat location to finally be landed, I wasn’t greatly disappointed. This type of thing has happened to me so many times over the past 5 years – getting really close to something happening and then it simply disappearing – I venture to say I am almost used to it.

While I thought the mission was landing the property, that was just a means for me to be in the various “right” places I was supposed to be at the right times. Over and over, events happened that clearly shouted to me, “This is why you are here!”. As has also happened in all the places I’ve traveled before, there were a number of individuals who had a big opportunity for a shift through my presence but who chose to stay asleep or comfortably where they were familiar. It’s all good though as all choices are honored. Everyone is on their own individual journey on this planet of free will with the prerogative to make up their own mind every single second. For me, I celebrated the ways I was able to help and sent love and light to all regardless of their choice at the time.

Since the Tropical Retreat location was no longer imminent, I busied myself planting seeds to see if it was appropriate to return to the area later. I say return as I already committed to drive back to California in the beginning of August. I got back just in time to do a little pre-wedding activity with my daughter. A few days later, I drove, with my parents, to the wedding venue in Nevada. The area held special sentimental meaning for my daughter, Natasha, and her now husband, Neil.   Disney Princess was one of the descriptions for Natasha I heard a few times and she was definitely delighted to be marrying her Prince.

In a black and white affair with accents of Tiffany blue, much merriment was had. I send them much Love and wish them both “Happily Ever After”. Back to the seeds I was planting near Casey Key in Florida….. I am now in another familiar place of not quite knowing what’s next. I have many, what I will call, partial possibilities. There are possibilities of non-traditional places to stay and ways to sustain myself but nothing fully encompassing, conclusive or that gave me a strong indication that I would be coming back soon. There have also been some clues that point to Costa Rica or Panama or ???

As alluded to before, the one thing I always, always know for sure is my very next step. This week, I am house-sitting for my daughter in California. Will be interesting to see what next week holds but, for NOW, I am living in the moment, listening to my guidance and being the best me I possibly can. Yes, I am clearly right on target with my “mission”!

Again I wish to thank all of you who have graced my live by following and supporting my journeys. Some are curious, some are inspired, some are here to learn, some are entertained, some wonder how I can pull this all off, some check in to see where in the world I am – whatever category you are in, I appreciate the blessing you are in my life! If we haven’t connected in a while, would love to hear an update from you as well :-)

What Used To Be An Insult……

…..actually holds a lot of Truth. For decades people, who have gone to doctors with very real feeling aches and pains, were offended as they were sent home with the diagnosis, “It’s all in your head”. True, the symptoms they were experiencing were very real and sometimes debilitating for them. True also, the doctors with their limited testing options available, didn’t have the ability to detect certain causes of their physical ailments. However, the biggest truth is that the body and its experiences are governed by our beliefs both conscious and subconscious.

Here are some beliefs among folks I’ve encountered. Do you recognize any as true for you? “I always get a cold when the weather changes. I get the flu whenever it goes around. If I am around children a lot, I will automatically pick up whatever germs they bring along. If I drink from someone’s cup who has a cold (flu or whatever), I will get it too. It takes “X” amount of time to recover from this injury/ailment.”

What was that story about a little boy who was supposedly terminally crippled/sickly and was always kept in bed and treated as such? Then his bright little cousin who didn’t buy into that belief system ended up living in the same house? Ah yes, the Secret Garden!

She brought him out into the sunshine to experience life. Lo and behold, he got stronger and stronger, no longer that sickly little boy. All because of her positive belief that she was able to share with him.

How many people believe that they will be cursed by the Goddess Pele if they take coral (or is it lava) from Hawaii? Not unexpectedly, something “bad” happens that they totally attribute to the curse causing some to even return the coral. Then, of course, there are all the myriad variations of walking under a ladder, a black cat crossing their path, the number 13, a cracked mirror…..

More and more people now are starting to “get” this concept but mostly with thoughts and beliefs they are aware of. Often the most powerful, life driving beliefs are those held subconsciously that they are not even aware of - the unconscious programming. Deepak Chopra speaks it profoundly, “Now I realize that it isn’t the miracle that creates the believer. Instead, we are all believers. We believe that the illusion of the material world is completely real. That belief is our only prison. It prevents us from making the journey into the unknown.”

It’s not that what we believe in is not real. In fact, our very belief makes it so. Of course, it gets a bit more complicated for some when they say, “I would have never wanted to create this or that. Or, “I want this (fill in the blank), and I believe it, but it doesn’t happen. Yes, this discourse can go on and on for chapters and books and centuries…and it has!

 

Do you want to get clearer for your specific life journey? Are you really ready to make a big shift toward greater awareness? Is it time to consciously get your thoughts and beliefs working toward that which you desire? Are you open to personalized guidance in this area? Then perhaps Telephone Wellness Coaching is for you!  If this resonates with you, contact me today for your Complimentary Consultation today to determine appropriateness :-)

Gina’s Hug Seat

As many of you are aware, I had an exciting opportunity on Casey Key FL which might have turned out to be the humble beginning of my Tropical Dolphin Retreat.  I am actively looking for investors or financial partners to enable this reality to birth. In my efforts to do so, I have contacted over 1,000 people in my efforts to make the appropriate connections. Although I have not reached everyone yet I’ve desired, due to lack of adequate internet connection, I was able to send messages to a number of my Friends on FaceBook. This is how I was graced with a wonderful response from Gina Gaudio-Graves.

She asked me a little more about my project, connected me to a couple powerful like-minded people and invited me to schedule a telephone meeting with her. I was thrilled and grateful for her offer and so valued our phone time together. In addition to sharing some of my situation and goals, I learned about Gina’s personal story. Talk about someone who has defied all odds and doctor’s prognosis of only having 12 months to live! Gina’s thriving presence on this planet is a testimonial to her tenacity after a potentially devastating car accident and choosing to shift adversity into thriving health and prosperity. During our conversation, Gina recommended I get to know a couple people that had similarities to me. Dale Smith is the owner of Cabins of Birch Hollow in Kentucky. It is a delightful place to visit for a retreat, family gathering or beautiful vacation in nature. The cabins are also an excellent opportunity for folks with 1031 exchange money to invest. www.cabinsofbirchhollow.com Cynthia Gardner O’Neill is the driving force behind www.lovingconsciousness.com . She leads workshops and retreats as well as providing many resources for heart-centered living. Simply visiting her website is an inspiring, uplifting experience. Gina also told me about a business building program she offers through Directions University www.directionsuniversity.com a successful business training company she leads with business partner Jack Humphrey. As part of this program, she hosts a weekly call focusing on a specific person and their business in the Hug Seat.

That’s right it’s Hug Seat, not Hot Seat, as I am beginning to sense something of an enlightened slant here. Gina generously invites me to be in her Hug Seat. Initially I have misgivings as I feel my situation is too unique and I think where I am and want to be may be too far off for the purpose of this forum. I tell Gina that I wouldn’t be able to commit for the next 3 weeks as I will be in Hawaii. To which she responds, “That’s perfect as I already have the next 3 weeks booked. The next availability is June 4.” I am a person who pays attention to signs and walks through peaceful doors. I accepted telling her I will accept this gift as that is my birthday. Then she tells me her birthday is the next day and the same year. Essentially we were born almost energetically at the same time. 

As you may have read in my previous post, I had a magnificent Hawaiian trip. Still buzzing with that dynamic and the excitement of my birthweek, I looked forward to our call with great anticipation. I did not get a chance to listen to the recordings of any previous calls so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. The only thing that was a given is that I would contribute as much as I would receive. Evidently I presented my “story” well as there was some mention of such. The other participants on the call got to benefit from my story as comments given to me applied to them too. I was joyfully overwhelmed with the generous ideas, resources and recommendations offered to me by Gina, Jack and the other participants on the call.

In the conversation I got to “meet” a number of new friends and potential business compliments. Cher Fauvel is another shining example of someone choosing her own life path in spite of the odds. Through www.rawfoodenergybenefits.com Cher guides people in ways to achieve vibrant health and optimum energy via raw foods. Does the Coastal Life resonate with you? You’ll probably enjoy the offerings of Trish Samson via www.mycoastalmuse.com . V Lynn Hawkins offers business coaching and consulting through www.skyhawkenterprises.biz. She expertly provides growth strategies, funding, coaching and consulting for business owners.

I expressed my knowledge and expertise of many different (and necessary) business aspects. At the same time I shared that just because I am good at something, doesn’t mean it is good for my soul to be participating in these activities. So again the topic arose of potentially partnering with someone. If you, or someone you know, loves accounting, marketing, is technology savvy and would be open to discussing a partnership for my Tropical Dolphin Spa Retreat, please let me know .

Excitement, resonance, hope, and appreciation washed over me in waves in the process of Gina’s gift of this call. There were no immediate obvious life changing actions to take as a result of this opportunity but many baby steps. Again, there was that immense feeling of confirmation of being in exactly the right place at the exact right time even without all the clear “why’s” of it all.

Huge thank you Gina and all you new beloveds that I am now blessed to be in contact with! I am grateful for the part you are playing in this magnificent journey of life on this planet. Of course, I am in deep appreciation for all my old (yes, we go way back) friends that continue to support and dance together after all these years.

Stay tuned for the next development in my adventures coming soon and stay well. If you could use assistance in this area, I am currently available for Telephone Wellness Coaching and still providing one of the best nutritional support systems available….Juice Plus. 

ALOHA

Now I’m letting the world in on a little secret. I have a magical birthday. Of course you have a magical birthday too for you but you just may not have gotten the sign as clearly as I have. 6/4/64 6:46am heralded my arrival. So yes, I am the big 5-0 this year. Now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag, I will also let you know that I have chosen to celebrate this wondrous milestone all year long. I have an infinite amount of things in my magnificent life to be grateful for and so many angels masquerading as humans to appreciate too. Nature’s gifts and my own wisdom unfolding are ongoing things I revel over on a daily basis. 

Thank each and every Beautiful One of You for the precious gift you are in my life. Of course, a very special thanks to my dear Mom and Dad, without whom, I would not be having these celebrations for reasons obvious and those not. 

Part of my birthday festivities included a recent 3 week trip to the Hawaiian island of Kauai appropriately known as the Garden Isle. I was bubbling with excitement in anticipation of this trip fully expecting some of the magic of my Lemurian heritage to manifest itself in some outer-worldly way. I was a little perplexed when I didn’t see/feel this immediately. It was quite curious how I had experiences on opposite ends of the spectrum both high and (shall we say) interesting.

A couple highlights involved, no surprise, Dolphins and Turtles.

I was privileged to see turtles a number of times surfing in the waves. However, the time I swam in their waters was a whole new world. First, I stepped barefoot on the sand through the darkened, unfamiliar turtle tunnel. As it became light again I saw a large bump about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide to my right…..a sleeping turtle! Then it was time to get into the water following the stream of the cave into the cove. This was difficult for me as I was freezing in the water in spite of my wet suit. I had only donned 1 of my 2 part set thinking, being in Hawaii, surely I’d be warm enough. My desire to swim with the turtles was greater than my discomfort so I continued on. I scrambled up on a rocky outcropping called Mermaid Isle with my friends to warm ourselves in the sun for a while. After basking, being lulled by the sounds of the waves and seeing a couple turtles, I again braced myself and took the plunge. Almost immediately I came eye to eye with a large gentle turtle with a gorgeous patterned shell and began swimming side by side as if in a trance. Her energy was so beautiful and she swam so effortlessly. She was definitely aware of me and seemed to enjoy our togetherness as well. 3 times She turned her head in my direction. Not once did she turn the other way. I don’t know how long I swam or how far out I was until the freezing sensation in my body took over. When I came up I realized I was quite some distance from my friends as well as from the shore. Thanking my gentle companion of the sea and bidding her adieu, I made my way back enjoying the variety of colorful fish passing by.

Oh, I did mention dolphins too. This is one of the things that puzzled me….my lack of seeing my powerful finned friends in places I would have totally expected to see them. However, they did thrill me with one memorable occasion. Opting to walk back after a run to the end of a nearby beach, I assumed my Xena posture. While I was thinking of lining up my spine to facilitate improved Kundalini flow and opening my pineal-pituitary areas, something out in the water caught my eye. After gazing a while I thought it might be dolphins but wasn’t sure with the circle swimming I saw. Oddly, I couldn’t really feel them either. After about 10 minutes musing over the possibilities of what I was looking at, I decided to ask.  Pausing to face them, I opened my heart, shined my light and asked if they were dolphins to please let me know without a doubt. Immediately one leaped high in the air spinning horizontally. Tears began to flow. With less than a week left of my 3 week trip, the dolphins had finally visited me. I continued watching their antics punctuated by occasional joyful leaps.  Standing enthralled for about 5 minutes, I poured forth my gratitude. They kept playing another 5-10 minutes as I, now slowly, walked along. I continued thanking them awash in a wave of emotion that “every little thing’s gonna be alright”. As I climbed back up to the path where people were walking, running and biking, a man coming the opposite direction was wearing a shirt that said, “Never Stop”. I pondered that with relation to certain things going on in my life. Within a minute, a woman walked by wearing a shirt reading, “Never Give Up”. This time, I felt the Universe was giving me a personal message.

On the final day of my Hawaiian experience, I had the delightful opportunity to soak up the sun on a beautiful beach for hours mindfully and heartfully contemplating the previous 3 weeks. I was able to see how energetic Lemurian messages actually did come through to me when I could see past what I initially expected. Things are definitely not always as they seem. The information was far more subtle and would have been entirely missed had I not taken the time to go within to find my treasure.

I challenge you to think of some happening in your life where things turned out, or are presently appearing, in a puzzling way to you that makes no apparent sense. Quiet yourself, ask for higher guidance and be open to seeing the situation in a whole new light. Look for all possible gems within and how there can be a completely different meaning than that which you previously concluded.  You may be pleasantly surprised indeed. I love happy surprises. Wishing you all a very Happy Birthday (on whatever day it lands) and inviting you to join me in finding a reason to celebrate your presents/presence on Mother Earth the whole year through!
