Thought For The Day: May 18, 2020 “So Many Things”

Posted on by

Happy Monday,

Our thought today is a reminder about “Tiny Miracles”.  Tiny miracles are what make up our everyday existence. The problem is that they tend to get overlooked and go unacknowledged. We have so many things to be grateful for. A sunrise, a sunset, 5 minutes of quiet time, the absence of pain, a loving touch, time spent with a friend. The small things, the everyday things, even boring things. Live life as it was meant to be and embrace the miracles both large and small!

Thought For The Day: April 15,2020 “Take the Time”

Posted on by

Happy Wednesday,

With so many things unavailable to us right now we find that our attitude of gratitude is being put to the test. Today’s Quote is a reminder of several things.

First, embrace the Tiny Miracles that are part of everyday life.

Second, there is always ONE GOOD THING that happened today. Find it!

Third, things could truly be worse. Look around and acknowledge what you have. Not everyone is so lucky.

Spend a little time today (and every day) making a list of the things you are thankful for, or the things that made you smile. Write them down and put your list somewhere that you can see it often. Your really do have so much to be grateful for!

Thought For The Day: Jan. 17, 2020 “Ideas & Perspectives”

Posted on by

Happy Friday,

Today is a reminder about acknowledging our blessings. While we all have problems the truth is that the happiest people don’t focus on them. They focus on the one good thing or the tiny miracles that fill their lives. They live with a heart filled with gratitude. Remember that there is no problem that cannot be overcome or fixed with the right mindset. Be willing to embrace new ideas and perspectives with an open mind and it will help your problems to shrink in size.

It Depends: Cat’s Angel Message for August 17, 2019

It Depends: Cat’s Angel Message for August 17, 2019

August Theme: Positive focus and creative solutions help to draw both prosperity and abundance this month.  You are a powerful creator and all that you need is within your grasp!



Happiness depends upon ourselves. – Aristotle




817:  Our power of positive thought comes into play today as the Universe encourages us to celebrate our lives and the things we have to be grateful for. Doing so helps to propel us forward and aids our overall creation and manifestation process. Honesty and sincerity will be the keys to unlocking new doors along our path. Be ready to make the most of what will be offered, hesitation may cause you to miss out. Remember, whether the offerings are a new crop of tiny miracles or the whole enchilada it is our positive and creative mind that will help us to achieve our goals. Be grateful for what you have because you really do have so much to be grateful for!




Archangel Haniel showers us with stardust, illuminating our thoughts and memories so that we can remember what magickal beings we truly are, which assists us in the creation process. In turn, this shows us how to receive with grace and gratitude. This process accelerates when we allow beauty and harmony to surround us. It helps us to enjoy ourselves which makes blessings easier to receive. The Ascended Master Saint Germain surrounds us with loving protection. He teaches us how to clear the way and free our minds from worry so that we can work on more important things. And the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi teaches us that good things happen when we embrace the world with a grateful and appreciative heart. She tells us ” You are worthy of so many wonderful things but first you must get out of your own way! Let me help you to clear the way so that these gifts can be given to you. Make room and feel the lightness it creates within your spirit.”




Our Sacred Stones for today include:


    

  • Aventurine teaches us how to give and receive gracefully. Both are necessary for healthy relationships with self and others and it allows the Universe to care for you. Aventurine also helps to dispel the anger and irritation that sometimes arise when we are stuck in the “what I lack” mind loop.
    • 

  • Carnelian is used for motivation and increased creativity. It teaches us to trust in ourselves and helps us find creative solutions to current issues as it boosts self-esteem and invites us to embrace our personal power while promoting positive life choices which enhance our ability to draw new forms of prosperity and abundance.
    • 

  • Peridot brings new levels of awareness as it promotes growth and necessary change. It helps to sharpen the mind and enhances our self-confidence. Peridot can teach us to look back at the past and find the gifts that are hidden within our experiences and then shows us the path to forgiveness and moving forward.
    • 





Bright blessings for a magickal day!

MNN: How to protect the world’s largest living thing

Pando, the world’s largest-known organism, is dying. But there might still be time to save this wonder of nature.


Walking through this aspen grove in Utah, you could be forgiven for missing the forest for the trees. That’s because this isn’t really a grove of 40,000 individual aspen trees, but rather 40,000 clones of one organism — a single root system spread across 43 hectares in Utah. It’s the most massive living thing known to science.

Patheos-Pagan: Honoring Hekate, Queen Of Ghosts And The Restless Dead, At Samhain

Inner Journey: 


MY WILL OR DIVINE WILL?


“It is important not to ‘need’ what you are calling to you but rather to have a certain detachment about it. Let it be all right if it doesn’t come, or if it comes in a different form than what you expect. After you haveasked for something, surrender to whatever comes as being appropriate.”

— Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer


“Acceptance says, True, this is my situation at the moment. I’ll look unblinkingly at the reality of it. But I’ll also open my hands to accept willingly whatever a loving Father sends me.”

— Catherine Marshall


“This business of hozho. The way I understand it … I’ll use an example. Terrible drought, crops dead, sheep dying. Spring dried out. No water. The Hopi, or the Christian, maybe the Moslem, they pray for rain. The Navajohas the proper ceremony done to restore himself to harmony with the drought. You see what I mean. The system is designed to recognize what’s beyond human power to change, and then to change the human’s attitude to be content with the inevitable.”

— in ‘Sacred Clowns’ by Tony Hillerman

Life


“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”


-Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)


We need to ask ourselves: Are we living the life that we want to live? If not, then make some changes! Life is too short, life is too precious, to miss out on. Every moment is holy. It is there for us to embrace. How many moments go by without notice? Are we spending our time analyzing the past, which is done and gone – or planning for the future, which is changing every instant? Or are we living, truly LIVING in this moment, NOW, where our life is taking place? It is not enough to exist, choose to live!


-Lissa Coffey

Daily Good: Ten True Things About Gratefulness


Gratefulness is a deceptively simple practice that has the potential to change your life and those around you. “The benefits of gratitude range from deeper sleep and better health to higher self-esteem and enhanced stress resilience. Gratitude has also been shown to enhance our relationships. And, if that’s not enough, gratitude makes us happier.” And happiness spreads. Here, an ode to the practice in the form of ten truths, from Gratefulness.org.

MNN: 13 odd facts about Edgar Allan Poe 


Upon the mysterious death of America’s master of mystery and the macabre, the literary rival of Edgar Allan Poe wrote a scathing obituary and biography of the author. However, much of what was written by Poe’s foe, Rufus Griswold, was untrue. Vengeful over things Poe had written about Griswold, the latter’s postmortem portrait of Poe painted him as a womanizing madman, drug-addled and bereft of both morals and friends.

Patheos-Pagan: Calling out to the Dead


I call out to the dead and the dead call out to me.

There was a time when I was walking down the hall and I smelled her perfume. And I didn’t know what to do. So I stood there, patiently. As though she might round the corner to say hello. I closed my eyes and waited. The smell lingered. The scent was unmistakable.

Jasmine.

Inner Journey: 


STAR CONNECTIONS


“The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self. The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy.”

— Dennis J. Kucinich


Ponder the spectre of yourself as one human being in the over six billion people on Earth. See Earth as one tiny planet in a galaxy of billions of stars, and that galaxy as just one of billions of galaxies in our expanding universe. We are so minute as to be nonexistent. And yet, we have the power to visualize, to imagine the entirety of the cosmos.


In your journal, write about the paradox of being both microscopic and immense.


“I think we would be able to live in this world more peaceably if our spirituality were to come from looking not just into infinity but very closely at the world around us — and appreciating its depth and divinity.”

— Thomas Moore


“I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.”

— Harry Emerson Fosdick

Life


“I slept and dreamt that life was joy.

I awoke and saw that life was duty.

I acted and behold, duty was joy.”


-Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)


There’s no doubt that life can be hard. And yet life is poetic. What we learn in our time here is beautiful. All that we really take with us is the wisdom we garner. Life is full of joy. We were blessed, against all odds, to be here, in this time and place, in this particular circumstance. It is our duty to live this life and to get all that we can from the experience.

We all have a place in our hearts for new age spirituality, let’s not lie.

My vision board will iron out the details of my future. If I’m having problems in my love life, I can always get a Tarot reading and find out my spirit animal to show me the way. If all else fails, I can just talk about energy with an affected tone of voice. Spirituality is easy!

EarthSky News: Top tips for poison ivy


It feels like summer! Outdoor activities are in full swing, with kids going off to summer camp and adults hiking and mountain biking their way through the weekends. The trees are green. The flowers are blooming. Isn’t it glorious? Yet we mustn’t get too giddy in our outdoor merriment, lest we forget that there are dangers too. Because there in the woods, in the park, in your lawn even, lurks a trio of villains as bent on destruction as the three alien outlaws from Superman II. I’m speaking, of course, of poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac – three devious plants just itching for the chance to ruin your summer outings.

All around my house you’ll find cauldrons. I have a large replica of the Gundestrup Cauldron on top of one prominent altar. There’s a collection of mini cauldrons nestled on the wood burning stove. I have cauldrons filled with beans for sorting. Another with drops of Awen (okay, they are gold coloured marbles but they are Awen to me) and two in my office that I work magic with each morning.

Inner Journey: 


FOLLOW THE 80/20 RULE


“Nothing can add more power to your life than concentrating all your energies on a limited set of targets.”

— Nido Qubein


The 80/20 rule says that on a list of 10 tasks, only 2 of those tasks will return 80% of the value of the entire list. Look at your ‘to do’ list for today. Which tasks are directly related to what you most want in life? Find the 2 high value items on your list and tackle them first. These tasks are the ones that really move us forward.


Many of us actively avoid the top 2 priorities because they are more challenging than the rest. If they are to lead us to worthy goals, they are undoubtedly asking us to move into new territory in thinking and acting, and this can be scary. But this is also REWARDING!


“Don’t kid yourself: it’s because you’re doing all those C’s (low priorities) and NOT because you haven’t any time, that you don’t get to do your A’s.”

— Alan Lakein

The present


“On Arturo Toscanini’s eightieth birthday, someone asked his son, Walter, what his father ranked as his most important achievement. The son replied, “For him there can be no such thing. Whatever he happens to be doing at the moment is the biggest thing in his life – whether it is conducting a symphony or peeling an orange.” -Ardis Whitman


When we live in present moment awareness we’re living with heightened senses. We’re awake to the many miracles all around us, all the time. We can find joy in peeling an orange: filling our nostrils with the sweet and tangy fragrance, feasting our eyes on the brilliant fiery color, coating our fingers with the sticky and succulent juice. The orange is a gift, and we are blessed. When we are grateful, we are in the moment, and life is good!
