Sweetness and light, peacekeeper and heart of our home – Charlotte Mae GilpinFord.
“Cat magnet”, “chicken love bug”, and the “great protectress”, you saw to it that we all felt safe and cared for, without even realizing that is what you were doing. Read More
We bid adieu to a year which has challenged and pushed us to dig deep within, within to the very best of who we are.
While we were digging in, we were also reaching out with compassion, generosity patience and love.
Congratulations – we’ve made it this far. Some more tattered and threadbare, others, stronger and more determined than they were when 2020 began. Of one thing I am sure, we are all wealthier for and better positioned because of the love we have given and received. Friendship, caring and camaraderie has overflowed throughout this entire year. And for that I am grateful.
One cannot help but see the stark differences between our presidential candidates. Our current political arena is replete with opportunities for the American voter. The most glaring opportunity, as I see it, is the choice between love and fear.
The choice is quite simple, I do believe, if one applies a basic principle, the principle I have been applying quite effectively, I might add, over the last few decades.
I am of the belief all humans operate from a place of either love or fear. Love is easy to detect. We all know how a loving person feels, looks and acts. Fear, on the other hand, while simply the absence of love, can be challenging to detect. How does a fearful person feel, look, and act? Let’s take a look at that. Once you recognize the telltale signs, your life will take on new meaning. You will become an emotional environmentalist, saving energy every step of your way.
Affirmations are simply a means of helping you to awaken your own abilities for manifestation or healing. In the process it is helpful for you to focus on your willingness to release whatever may be preventing you from achieving your desire.
I can hear you now, “how am I able to release whatever may be preventing me from achieving my desires if I don’t know what it/they is/are?” Here’s the thing – I believe on some level you do know, you do possess that awareness, but as soon as you acknowledge it, you own it, and you may be reticent to own it at this point. Well, I am here to tell you there is no better time in your life to own it – than now! Read More
On March 23, 2020, the Governor of Massachusetts issued an Executive Order requiring all non-essential businesses close, the following day. Overnight our lives became dramatically different and far more challenging.
March 24th was a little over two months ago, but it sometimes feels like it was over two years ago – doesn’t it? Some have been coping well, others, not so much. We have been tethered to a place of betwixt and between – a place of not being here, nor there.
If we fail to recognize the sharp contrast between life before the pandemic and life in the present moment, we may never regain our sense of balance, or our sense of connection. We may never be sure of anything. Read More
At a time when uncertainty and fear appear to be near all-consuming, many feel as if they have little if no control, on any outcomes. Although that may be the feeling, it could not be any further from the truth.
There are steps you can take to position yourself in control of your life and relieve some of your stress. Practicing kindness and compassion are on the top of the list – no one or no pandemic can strip that away. Loving one another and keeping in close contact with friends and family is another way and is guaranteed to nourish your soul. Holding a ‘best of possible outcomes’ vision in your mind’s eye and in your heart is a sure-fire way of contributing to the greater good. Choosing healthy foods will fortify your body and immune system.
This Spiritual Mind Treatment, as outlined in Dr. Ernest Holmes book, How to Change Your Life, can be recited and provide you with a positive sense of control and well-being; if practiced. Read More
Awareness of animal exploitation began when a friend ridiculed me for my lack of awareness that milk was produced by lactating cows. I had never given that a second thought — and why would I?
I had been blindly going about my life eating animals and drinking their milk.
It took only one click on the World Wide Web to set me on a new path. I began to consume more information and fewer animals. Curiosity fueled my journey, and I never looked back.
The holidays are fast approaching and your ancestors and loved ones in spirit long to participate in your family gatherings. I am reminded time and time again of their need to be acknowledged and to be ‘a part of’.
They, your loved ones in spirit, strive to make a connection with you – some do, many do not. I give them credit because they never relinquish that ‘spirit’, they never give up trying. Take comfort in the knowing that they will never give up, no never –not until they connect and communicate with you.
I am also told you can make it a great deal easier for them to connect with you if you tune in and surrender your skepticism. Simply give the possibility of connecting a try. Read More
Witches and goblins and ghosts, oh my!
Make sure you sleep with an open eye.
You will want to make sure that you will see,
The souls of your loved ones who will visit thee!
All Hallows’ Eve, when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is the thinnest, making accessibility that much easier, is not the only ideal time for spirits pay a visit. Sure, the energy is ripe for connecting; it’s electrifying, exciting and inviting, if I do say so myself, but it’s not the only time to connect.
Any day, night or day, any season, is an ideal time to reach out, connect and communicate. I can vouch for the willingness and readiness of your loved ones; I sense their desire to spend time with you. Often their desire feels like an imperative. Read More
Once upon a time, many years ago, as I was in deep meditation preparing for a spirit circle, my mother, Leah, came to me. Her question: “What would you do if I told you the reason I brought you onto this earth plane was so that I could help you from the other side?” My response: “What?” (I could not wrap my head around her question.)
My response: “How do I know I’m not crazy and hearing voices right now?” (Mind you I had been connecting and communicating with the spirit realm for many years and was used to “hearing their voices”.)
My mother: “Do you trust me?” Me: “Of course I do!” Her response: “Good. Remember how I helped you when we walked the earth plane together? Now imagine what I can do for you from this vantage point.” Read More
