Longevity
“’Tis very certain the desire for life
Prolongs it.”

-Lord Byron (1788-1824)


Life is good. Love it! Eat it up – devour it like a sweet peach and let the juice dribble down your chin. We have so many beautiful sights to see, sounds to hear, wisdom to learn, and it’s all right in front of us – and it’s all within us at the same time.

It could be hard to sit still today and every little distraction may look more like an invitation to take a break or start the next thing. Get a lot done anyway by concentrating on short tasks and short conversations. A checklist helps keep things smooth and organized. Afterward, maybe take a nice long walk, stretch those legs, and shake the day’s dust off your shoulders.

February’s Full “Quickening” Moon (Feb. 27, 2021) *

February’s Full “Quickening” Moon

Feb. 27: Full Moon at 12:17 am PST/ 1:17 am MST/ 3:17 am EST

Light-Rebirth-new Beginnings

On Saturday, February 27th we celebrate the “Quickening Moon”. Other names for this moon are the Trappers Moon, Budding Moon, Moon When Trees Pop, Ice Moon, Storm Moon, Hunger Moon, Horning Moon, Big Winter Moon. The first signs of spring are beginning to show and you actually feel the earth waking up. The energy is dense and slow, it’s a time for new life and rebirth. At this time of year people are tired of being cooped up. They miss the light and warmth of the sun and like the sleeping plants find themselves reaching for a new beginning.

Mission: simplicity. The 2021 Virgo full moon on Saturday, February 27 (at 3:17 a.m. EST) helps us pare down to the basics. Minimalism might not be the goal, but learning to live with less can be so liberating! Read more…..

This moon is a good time for magical workings that involve focus on personal advancement and achievement. On a personal level work on plans for your future. What do you hope for and what dreams do you hold inside yourself? These are the things to consider as you set goals for yourself. The key is to be willing to accept responsibility for past mistakes and be mature enough to let them go and move on. Dare to dream and hope as you look into the future. To honor this moon try wearing colors in shades of blue and purples and adorn yourself with sacred stones like rose quartz, amethyst and earthy jaspers.

Blessings,

Cat

In North America, we call the February full moon the Snow Moon or Hunger Moon. As dusk turns into darkness on February 26, you may see a bright star pop out rather close to the moon. That’s Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion.

Inner Journey: OPEN TO THE MOMENT

“Why not concentrate on the now instead of hoping for better times in the future? Why not understand the now instead of forgetting it and hoping for the future? Isn’t the future just another trap?”
— Anthony de Mello

Soul exists only in this moment. Every moment, no matter what the conditions, offers opportunities to touch and experience life in a new way. Our egos, with their fears and desires, easily get trapped in the past and the future, but the power to change exists only in this moment.

We don’t need to know more or have more before we can live more deeply. We simply need to pay attention to what’s happening now. To open without judgment to the worlds around and within us.

“Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.”
— Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Failure
“To think of losing is to lose already.”

-Sylvia Townsend Warner, 1951


The mind is a very powerful tool. With it we create our reality. The surest way to fail is to focus on failure. Instead, we can picture ourselves doing well, achieving, succeeding, and being happy. When we drive, we look ahead to where we are going. We can’t drive by looking in the rear view mirror. We can’t drive by looking over at the ditch on the side of the road. We need to pay attention to where we want to go, and head in that direction

Happy Friday,

Life is full of obstacles. Some are thrown in our way and some we create for ourselves. Both can effectively block our progress. What matters the most is how you handle them. It’s about choices. We can let them stop us or we can use them to build something positive. Find that one good thing and use it as a starting point. You always have options so be confident and creative and build something amazing!

Daily Good: Our Memories of Water

“I began asking friends if they had any memorable experiences with water. I was surprised by the blank looks I got. Like almost everyone else, ordinarily my relationship with water was unremarkable–like our relationship with air and sunshine. If instead, I’d started asking people, “Do you have any really memorable experiences of breathing air?” I’d probably have gotten even stranger looks. I have to laugh, even thinking about it. But we all have deep, buried memories when our earlier contacts with water were still full of wonder and some inexpressible meaning.” In the following piece, Richard Whittaker offers glimpses into his own memories of water, and evokes the personal, as well as the profoundly universal aspects of this elemental force. { read more }

Inner Journey: EMBRACE YOUR LIFE

“If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life, as in hoping for another life, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”
— Albert Camus

Have you taken ownership of your life?

When we own our lives, we accept what we’ve inherited and the experiences we hold in our memories. We also lay claim to our right to create new conditions if we’re not happy with what’s come before. We assume responsibility for changing what does not suitus. We acknowledge our own special talents and skills, and truly comprehend our right to enjoy the journey. In short, we embrace the meaning and purpose, the mystery and the beauty of our lives.

“Recognize that life is what you get when you’re born … living is what you do with it.”
— Jim Allen

“It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.”
— Diane Ackerman

This is how we roll.

Failure
“If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.”

-Mary Pickford, (in Reader’s Digest, 1979)


Things happen. That’s just the way it is. But at every point in time we have choices to make. We can choose to learn from our mistakes. We can choose to try again. If we were perfect, and never made mistakes, then how could we possibly learn? Our wisdom comes from our own experiences. Like the song says: “pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and start all over again!”

Life Is Like A Refrigerator : Cat’s Angel Message for February 25, 2021

Life Is Like A Refrigerator : Cat’s Angel Message for February 25, 2021

February’s Theme: Trusting in the “unseen” and believing in yourself puts you on the path to manifesting your dreams and goals. Our keywords are “I CAN”.

____________________________

Life is like a refrigerator. Every so often you must check the expiration dates and throw things out. ~Cat

_____________________________

225: We all experience times when it becomes necessary to let go of outdated and outgrown things like habits, relationships, material items and thought patterns. Hanging on to these things after their “expiration date” can become a crutch that we use when we are afraid to move on. This inhibits our personal and spiritual growth and causes us to flounder. Today the angels are asking us to start letting go of the things that no longer work for us. They know that this can be difficult and sometimes painful. However, the benefits and freedom obtained in the process will clear our path and propel us forward. It will also bring us new opportunities, growth and blessings that help us to achieve what we want most.

Today’s Spirit Helpers include:

Archangel Ariel helps us to embrace our own divine magick which strengthens our manifestation process. Since she works with the earth and environment (nature angels and sprite too) she can help those unfamiliar with the Sacred Feminine work connect with her.

The Himalayan Ascended Master Babaji helps us to achieve the personal and spiritual growth necessary for the letting go process. He assists us in detaching ourselves from both material things and things that no longer serve us. He teaches us that letting go is a form of simplifying your life. It frees your energy so that you can work on what’s important.

The Roman Goddess Vesta who oversees hearth and home. She helps us to clear space (both in our physical home and our inner home) to make room for new things and teaches us the value of letting go of what we no longer need. “ If something does not make your heart sing put it where it belongs or set it free. This will clear your inner and outer sacred space. Then open the doors and invite the new blessings inside.”

Today’s Sacred Stones include:

Okenite helps clear away obstacles and teaches us the important lesson that the universe is filled with unlimited possibilities when we allow ourselves to face and adapt to change. It helps us to find our inner strength so that we can finish what we start

Pietersite (Tempest stone) helps us to work through through beliefs and conditioning imposed upon us by others. It opens our intuitive connection and creates a link to a loving level of guidance. It also helps us see the truth and strengthen our will while increasing our focus of where we really want life to take us. It helps us to rid ourselves of negative energy and replaces it with calm.

Prehnite, which is used in Feng Shui, to help us let go of the physical things we no longer need.

Thought For The Day: Feb. 25, 2021 “To Wander…”

Happy Thursday,

This is one of my favorite Tolkien quotes. It’s a simple reminder that wandering is a part of life’s journey. It is through the process of wandering that we fully embrace life. We learn and we grow. We know the joy that comes from from new things, new people and new places. We fight dragons and see magical things on our journey. So where will you wander to today?

Daily Good: This Land Was Made

I speak of change not on the surface but in the depth–change in the sense of renewal.

  • James Baldwin –

This Land Was Made

“The soil of this land has been altered–altared–by blood, sweat, and tears falling from black and brown bodies. Even when I am not aware of this, I am aware of this. How many ways can we read the refrain, “This land was made for you and me” ? How was this land made? Who was made to do the making? Who is the you? Who is the me?” Poet Ama Codjoe shares more in this powerful essay. { read more }

Be The Change

Take time today to learn something new about the land you are living on.

Inner Journey: A NEW LOOK AT PROBLEMS

“The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.”
— Theodore Rubin

Our lives really begin to change when we learn to shift our perspective on ‘problems.’

From a spiritual perspective, problems offer our best path to growth. Like it or not, pain gets our attention. Discomfort also challenges the ego’s perception that it is in complete control of life. This opens the door for soul’s guidance.

If we want to be rid of the problem, we need to shift from denial and resistance to accept that this situation is present. We need to be willing to truly feel our experience to allow the energy of emotions to move through.

Finally, we need to explore what belief is giving rise to our distress. When we realize the belief is faulty, our shift in perspective resolves the problem. The solution always lies within us.

“No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”
— Source Unknown

A Note from the Universe

The greatest achievements, all started with the smallest of steps.

Like the skipper who hoisted the sails for the yacht to circumnavigate the globe.

Like the farmer who planted the seeds that grew into an abundant harvest.

And like the little soul who imagined the day of becoming all that you now are.

Today’s Recipe: Chile Relleno Pancakes

This tasted and felt just like a chile relleno, which isn’t surprising, as we used the same ingredients. Not only did it taste the same, but I think it’s easier to eat, since we don’t have to worry about eating around the seedpod and stem. If you love chile rellenos as much as I do, you’ll love these pancakes.

Failure
“Apparent failure may hold in its rough shell the germs of a success that will blossom in time, and bear fruit throughout eternity.”

-Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, 1875


We’re learning and growing every day. We’re building on our experiences. When things happen differently than we had planned, or expected, or wanted them to, we might see it as a failure. But it’s not! There is a reason for everything, and sometimes what is an “apparent failure” is actually the beginning of something really beautiful.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Change has been coming your way for a while now and today you may see the first explicit features of it. What happens today is only a beginning and you may look back in a few days/weeks/months and recognize that your life is in the process of making a turn for the better.

Thought For The Day: Feb. 24, 2021 “True Wisdom”

Happy Wednesday,

Just a mid week reminder that not everything is within our control. True wisdom lies in knowing when we can or can’t and in knowing the difference.. Quite often the best thing that we can do is step back and just let things unfold without forcing or struggling. Just breathe and let things be today…..
