Spirit Library: Birthing a New Expression of Self (a message from Kate Spreckley)
Change is occurring and to withstand the external chaos created by this change we must connect with our inner world, the world of our soul. When we do so we come to understand that our consciousness is continually expanding beyond the confines of time and space gathering the insights, wisdom and guidance we need to break free from the mould of our old life.

MBG: Quick Numerology Update: December Will Be The Most Spiritual Month Of 2020
The year 2020 has been a Universal Year 4. In numerology, the energy of the 4 is all about reassessing foundations and breaking down in order to break through. (Yep, sounds about right!) As we near the end of this pivotal year and are pulled toward 2021, a Universal Year 5 of change and surprises, we have one final month to contend with.

My family is big into rocks.
I can’t remember a time our summer days didn’t include trips to the local rock shop out near the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, Colorado. Throughout my house, there are chunks of citrine, lapis lazuli towers, and polished pieces of turquoise and selenite hearts sitting on my windowsill where the light comes in.

EarthSky News: Moon lights up Gemini December 2 and 3
These next few nights – December 2 and 3 – the bright waning gibbous moon shines in front of the constellation Gemini the Twins. But the moon and Gemini won’t be up yet first thing at nightfall. But they’ll climb over your eastern horizon at early evening, and once moon and Gemini are up, they’ll be out for rest of the night.

Inner Journey: ORDINARY CAN BE AWESOME
“Everything in life can be nourishing. Everything can bless us, but we’ve got to be there for the blessing to occur. Being present with quality is a decision we are invited to make each day.”
— MacRina Wiederkehr
Spirit is not only found in holy places, prayer and meditation, yoga and retreats. It is everywhere — in your relationships, your work, your daily chores, in nature … if you are willing to connect deeply with your environment.
Open to connect with something and you open to its essence, its purpose and meaning. There are other dimensions of reality below what we normally see and hear. Open to the mystery.
“We live in a world of theophanies. Holiness comes wrapped in the ordinary. There are burning bushes all around you. Every tree is full of angels. Hidden beauty is waiting in every crumb. Life wants to lead you from crumbs to angels, but this can happen only if you are willing to unwrap the ordinary by staying with it long enough to harvest its treasure.”
— Macrina Wiederkehr

A Note from the Universe
If you want it, I got it.
I got it! So why look elsewhere? To others? To the things of time and space? Aren’t we one?
Yes. Do your earthly things. Do all of them. Move with your dreams. Not because of what you may or may not achieve, but because you love life… because you’ll thereby exponentially increase the opportunities I have to share what’s ours… and because you can.
Tallyho,
The Universe

“I hope that is the keystone of the arch of my teachings – allowing a place for every man’s personality, idiosyncrasy.”
-Walt Whitman

Daily Tarot: The Lovers
The world may seem to be working overtime to baffle or confuse you, but you don’t have to take the bait. If you’re offered something that seems too perfectly tailored to your tastes or desires, it’s OK to be graciously skeptical. You can appear cautious rather than distrustful. Keep things simple today and minimize getting upset by torn or unsettled feelings.
