We made it to the west coast of Florida! We will begin on our RV adventures tomorrow. We have been with family and it has been a blessing to feel a bit of normalcy for a bit of time. I will keep you posted on our trip plans.

I just came home from 2 weeks in San Diego as my husbands' sister went into hospice. Everyday, I dedicated myself to yoga and some walking. The last few days I missed my daily practice. I could totally feel the difference in my mind set. If we don't have some sort of daily inward discipline, we will get lost in the mindset of others and the outside world. We are being coaxed by the energies of light that are pouring onto the planet right now. Many might be feeling huge anxiety from the collective consciousness of fear. Developing a daily discipline for nurturing our spirit and soul helps us to maintain equanimity or balance. It's a must to have something that's soothing right now. The outside world is not peaceful nor calming. We need to find a way to self soothe or else we will fall into the mindset of the outside world. Here are some questions to ponder. Does the outside world nurture our souls? Where do you receive daily nourishment? I can't stress enough the importance of a daily practice. My daily practice consists of yoga, meditation, and time in nature. When I have extra time, I add in chanting and my bowl practice. I try to add in all of these practices daily. I grew up with huge anxiety and depression. Going without a daily discipline is not an option for me. In these energies, I could easily fall into that place of depression again. If you have never had anxiety growing up, you may be experiencing it now because of the intensity of the light pouring onto the planet. It is pushing people to their edge. As we get closer to the December solstice, 12/21, we will experience more of these strong energies. Here is one suggestion for calming the nervous system: Breathing in through the nose for five counts, hold your breath for five counts, and exhaling slowly for five counts. I would suggest at least 5-11 minutes of practice. "The wound is the place where the light enters in" -Rumi Try reflecting on the following mantras over and over to shift consciousness. Daily Mantra I am grateful, I am filled with gratitude, I am grateful I am peace, I am filled with peace, I am peace I am love, I am filled with love, I am love I am healthy and balanced in every part of my life All is in divine harmony

Welcome 2021! Happy New Year friends! As we enter a new day, new year, and eventually new world, let's remind ourselves that we were made for these times. We stand on the threshold of old energies conflicting with the new energies that are enveloping our beloved earth. There is a clash in vibration that will take us a bit to adjust and transition into a healthier and more vibrant planet. We definitely saw that clash yesterday! We have everything inside of us to thrive. As we continue to recover and find our centers from 2020, feel inspired that we are in a new cycle of energies. This year adds up to the number five. As the clash of vibrations continues we may feel challenges from the outside world for a few more months. However, unlike 2020 this number five (2021) year is about possibilities, opportunities, and potentials that aren't yet visible to our naked eye. We need to keep meditating on peace and visualizing white light surrounding our planet. As for my personal life, we have been through a challenging year with deaths in the family and illness. My husband and I are planning on traveling for the month of February and part of March. We will be stopping in different locations to offer sacred sound healing in person and on zoom and visiting national parks. As we get closer to leaving on 1/25/21, we will have our schedule fairly worked out. My newsletters will go down to once a week. However it will be filled with inspiration and adventure. Please reach out to me if you live in the southern states so we can try to make it work to visit with you. It will be an honor and privilege to see old friends and new ones. "If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul." -Rabbi Harold Kushner "Look at everything as though you were seeing it for the first or the last time, then your time on earth will be filled with glory." -Betty Smith

Our thoughts are very powerful and just as powerful as our actions. Think of our thoughts as energy streams going out from our minds. You can't see the thoughts but a sensitive person or animal can absolutely feel the thoughts. If a lot of people do this challenge at 11:11am regardless of time zones, we would be filling the airwaves with such positive vibrations. Science has proven our thoughts affect our bodies, minds, and spirit and compassion alone can bring a rise in frequencies of peace. Global Heart Math does a lot of research on clients thinking positive happy thoughts into their hearts for 3 minutes. Afterwards, they test the persons' level of stress and coherency which shows a positive connection of the brain and heart. I decided to take on this challenge after I listened to Marilyn Harper (well known healer) because it is a way to bring positive thoughts to people, animals, and the earth for positive change during these tumultuous times. Here is how it works: 1) Hands together and thumbs to forehead. Say a prayer of thanks to our ancestors for bringing in wisdom to help us to evolve. 2) Same hands and thumbs to lips. Say a prayer for all people and animals everywhere to alleviate their suffering. 3) Same hands and thumbs to your heart. Say a prayer for healing our earth of trauma. This takes just a couple of minutes. Please join me in this challenge!!! There is no money involved...just your positive thoughts. Thank you!!!

"The Piscean Age is coming to an end. Civilization is now moving into the Age of Aquarius with new influences-a time when major evolutionary shift happens on earth. This major shift that happens every 26,000 years brings forward the qualities of the Aquarius--oneness, unity, and goodwill toward all people. Individuality remains strong in Aquarius, as does the consciousness of inclusiveness, global awareness and freedom. In the process of change and transition, maintaining balance, healing ourselves, and opening our hearts to others is the goal." "Dreams are a portal-a place where advanced spiritual beings of light, angels, guides, and the Pleiadian emissaries of light teach us to heal ourselves and help others. Dreams are the portal where contact is made." From: Ruth Starseed Hoskins, PhD. "For Starseeds:Healing the Heart Pleiadian Crystal Meditations" I felt inspired to write about a dream I had many years ago to help people understand that death is no different that birth and definitely nothing to be afraid of. There are so many people passing away these days and for a variety of reasons. About 19 years ago, My father who I adored and cherished beyond all words passed away. About a year after his death, I woke up with so much grief. I cried myself to sleep. He came to me in a dream that healed almost all my grief. My Dad and I are walking down a pathway at Rancho La Puerta Health Spa (a place I love and work at to this day) to my room. He looks at me and says "I am very much alive and this body is a physical illusion. I am at Peace." Then he said "I love you very much and I am always here for you whenever you need me." That was it. My grief went away and I felt reassured by his most calming presence. Since then, I have had many dreams from people who have died and wanted me to reassure their loved ones that they are at peace and well. If you are interested in connecting more to your deceased loved ones, place a journal under your pillow with a pen and ask for reassurance from someone you love. It may take days, weeks, and months to get something from your dream but don't give up. It is a portal or connection to the other side of the veil.

According to some mystics and many astrologers, January 12th was a huge reset on our planet. There was a powerful planetary conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. The last time this occurred was over 500 years ago. This could trigger a huge collective shift in the most positive way. An old 38 year old cycle of karmic energy has ended. Apparently this could be a time of the greatest karmic reset we will ever have witnessed. Don't wait to envision your dreams. This IS the time to burst out of old ways of thinking and step into something new and different. Bring magic back into your life by taking a chance and risking something to fulfill a dream. This year is about blazing clarity and having 20/20 vision for your life!

Believe in your dreams and desires. In this New Year anything is possible. The energies are supporting us to embody a more expansive unlimited view of ourselves. We are meant to thrive not survive. That's the energy of the New Day. Survival is the old energy about struggling to stay alive on our planet according to the mystics of our time. We are coming out of that old energy of competition and fighting. The way we know this is to watch the children being born today. This is such a monumental discussion because many are being misunderstood. I would like to explain: Here is a scenario that relates to most of us born in the 50's, 60's, and even 70's. In Ms. Smith's 6th grade classroom: "Children please do your homework and bring it back tomorrow" Children think: It will never relate to my life outside of school but I'll do it anyway. Next generation in the 80's and 90's: "Children please do your homework, and bring it back tomorrow"Children say: "Ms. Smith, I will never need this homework in my life, it will never relate to what I want to do when I grow up." Then we have a new generation of children who barely talk (some autistic and some?) and are talented way beyond their years. Many of them are brilliant, deeply artistic, incredibly musical, highly intuitive, and talented in ways we haven't seen before. This IS the sign of the times. Each generation is bringing in a higher vibration onto the planet just by their very nature. The older souls just need to love these kids and encourage them to be who they are without all the conditioning of an old energy of fighting, lack of trust, and competition. The new energy that's here is PEACE. We can't see it yet, but its here. The News media hasn't caught on yet but they will in time.
