Happy Thursday, we have rain today and  the flowers are loving it, my cats…………..not so much! Sometimes it’s the small things that make us the happiest and quite often other people have  nothing to with it.  We are each responsible for our own happiness, it is something that we create and nurture. You are not responsible for everyone else’s happiness although there are selfish people who would have you believe otherwise.

Our challenge for today is to acknowledge the little things that make YOU happy! For me it’s the smell of rain and wet earth, time spent with my mom, snuggles with my cat Sixx (I’m sure there will be more to add to my list)……..so what makes you happy today?

Happy Wednesday, we’ve made it to the middle of another week!

The rain is coming, we had a brief shower yesterday out of a sunny sky and the scent was a magickal experience. Our resident pair of nesting ravens are out and about this morning and as always they have a lot to say. The male has  a deep gravelly voice and he’s “chuckling” over something his mate has said on her flyby. We have a light breeze, a frontrunner for the storm coming in, the trees are whispering and our big  wind chime is singing to itself. This is one of my favorite times of the day, the world feels reborn, new……..fresh. It’s a calming and peaceful way to start the day. Nature has that effect and if we allow it’s energy to fill us we can start the day in hozro, harmony.

Happy Tuesday!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every day was amazingly awesome? However we all know that bad days happen, sometimes more often that we would like. I’ve learned that even on the worst days there is always at least ONE good thing that happened. Sift through the events of the day and set the bad things to the side (don’t focus or dwell on them). As you sift look for the shining lights of  “good” things. Pick them up, dust them off and allow that spark to ease your spirit.

Blessings for a magical day!

Rites of Passage: Cat’s Angel Number for May 12, 2017 

May’s Theme:  Change – Growth – Embrace New Adventures

To me rites of passage through life, that’s a wonderful, beautiful thing.  ~ Lance Henriksen 

512: The work associated with change can be challenging to say the least. However, the changes taking place are for the best and the best FOR us.  Today the angels are asking us to welcome the positive changes currently taking place in your life. Transformations do take time but the benefits are definitely worth it. Ask for help or guidance if you need it and remember that help comes in all forms and can arrive from any direction. Give yourself a BIG hug today, you deserve it!

If you need strength and courage to help you face these changes, any or all of the following angels or masters can help: Brigit helps us in being a loving warrior who holds on to their beliefs. Horus helps us in clearly seeing  what lies ahead. Archangel Michael gives us the courage to keep moving forward and Saint Germain helps us to find a cheerful and optimistic attitude and approach. The following sacred stones can help as well: Rose Quartz when used with positive affirmative thinking will enhance the energy and help you remember your intentions. Sugilite can gently ease emotional turmoil as it dispels negative energy and promotes loving support and Sunstone brings personal empowerment  and combats procrastination, it also helps to cut the ties of anything that no longer serves us.

Blessings for a magickal day!

Cat’s Aimless Ramblings: Desert Wisdom

Quote

pizap.com14942743194521

The desert is an amazing place. In just a few short weeks it has gone from barren to full of life. Spring is short and the flowers will make the most of it before the hot, dry season ahead. Today there is a riot of color ,red, pink, purple, fuchsia and white,  among the green of rabbitbrush and the grey-green of sagebrush. The birds are out enjoying this breezy spring day as well and the air is filled with song. Horned larks zip from shrub to shrub and meadowlarks, my personal omen of spring, call to each other across the wash. Suddenly there is a chuck-chuck and a flock of Chukar race across the road, orange high tops flashing as they make for the safety of the tall grass. The big boys are out too. A golden eagle glides the currents above the Bookcliffs, almost motionless at times. A pair of red tailed hawks are cruising over Dogtown and for a time the prairie dogs are silent. A tiny kessler hawk passes us with a frowning eye as if he thinks that we have invaded his territory………maybe we have.

Very soon with the arrival of summer all of this green will disappear. While the rabbitbrush and sage hold their color the rest change to shades of brown. They have not died it’s more of a stasis than anything else. They patiently wait and hold their reserves close. Doling them out as needed, setting boundaries if you will, with the changing environment around them. The animals adapt as well making changes in their routines to best meet their needs for survival. The similarities between man and nature are obvious to those who allow themselves to truly see.

There are lessons to be learned here as well. The desert teaches us to be patient and observant.  It teaches us about adapting to whatever life throws at us and it invites us to expand our focus to encompass the whole picture and not just the pieces we want to see. It ask us to see the beauty that surrounds us but also be willing to see the hidden beauty that reside in all things. And lastly that everything has it’s season, whether it’s long or short,  and that nothing lasts forever.

Each visit to this sacred place, my sacred place leaves me in awe. It fills my heart with peace and cleanses my spirit. It is my hope that whomever reads these humble words has a place or finds a place like this in which to go and be healed.

Adventure on my friends!

The Inner Approach: Cat’s Angel Number for May 11, 2017 

May’s Theme:  Change – Growth – Embrace New Adventures

Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach- how you look at things.  ~Osho

511: We continue today by working with messages and guidance that we receive. Remember that these messages can come from anywhere at any time, so staying in the present will benefit today. This directly related to the personal growth and changes taking place in our lives.  If you feel your communication lines are blocked give yourself a creative project.   Did you know that creative pursuits are not only a form of meditation that opens the line to divine communication it also promotes clarity? Activities like painting, dancing, gardening, or crafting of any kind will allow your mind to stay present  yet relaxed. Not feeling creative? Try yoga.  This also promotes clarity and focus as it relaxes the mind. Be open to all forms of guidance, even if it doesn’t seem relevant now store it away for future use.

To open the communication lines to the Divine call on Jesus, Moses, Babaji and Yogananda. These four ascended masters demonstrated the ability to clearly hear the Divine during their time (s) on earth. They can assist in removing the blocks so that you benefit from divine wisdom and teach you to trust in what you receive.

There are several sacred stones that can help you access divine communication. Selenite promotes mental clarity and helps to open the direct line to better divine communication. Moldavite connects you directly to the Ascended Masters, while Angelite, and Celestite connect you to the angels. To boost your creativity try Carnelian. This stone can also teach us how to trust in yourself and clarify our perceptions of what’s presented to us.

 

Blessings for a magickal day!

Happy Thursday, the skies have cleared, the rain has passed and of course the hummingbirds are happily taunting the cats through the window!

Life is complicated for most people. When we are faced with what life throws at us we quite often make things harder than they should be. We over think, over analyze and overreact which complicates things even further and can cause us a great deal of stress.

The key is in looking for simple solutions, and there is always at least one. It’s called the K.I.S.S principle, an acronym created by the US Navy in 1960. “Keep It Simple Silly” (aka keep it simple stupid, keep it short and simple, keep it simple and straightforward)  is a reminder to embrace simplicity and avoid creating complications.

When issues crop up today just blow them a K.I.S.S!

May’s Full “Flower Moon

Quote

MayFullMoon_zps55381b23[1]
May’s Full  Flower Moon
5:42 pm EST

“Dancing midst the flowers beneath the full moon’s light,
the wee folk tend the gardens on this soft spring night.”

May is the time when flowers seem to be everywhere and is most likely why the Native Americans called this moon the “Flower Moon”.

This full moon keeps the spring theme of new beginnings and fertility rolling. Everywhere you look there is new growth. This is a great time to sow seeds in both your outdoor and inner gardens. Career, finance and prosperity are good areas to concentrate on for new beginnings. This month which started with the fire sabbat of Beltane is still keeping things burning. Lust, passion and renewed vigor put a bounce in our step as we move toward the new things this moon has to offer.

To celebrate this fiery month and full moon, wrap yourself in reds, oranges and yellow or wear warm stones like amber ,garnet and ruby. Take special care to nourish your inner garden this month. If you set intentions or thought seeds for yourself last month, remember to take steps to help them grow and move forward.

On a very light note, I have been “asked” to remind everyone that brings out the garden fairies! This Full Flower Moon is a wonderful time to welcome the “Wee Folk” in your home and yard. This is a great activity particularly for children. Leave gifts of pretty stones, crystals, shiny beads and other glittery objects in your flower beds and planters. Hang small decorations in your trees and shrubs. The Fae appreciate gifts and love to be remembered!

“On the breeze their laughter floats and magic fills the air,
unveiling nature’s treasure, her gifts with you they share.”

Full Moon Blessings!

Hearing the Answers: Cat’s Angel Number for May 10, 2017 

May’s Theme:  Change – Growth – Embrace New Adventures

There are many answers you have received but have not yet heard. ~ A Course in Miracles

510: During periods of growth and change it’s important to pay attention to the messages and guidance that we receive. This information comes from many sources, the people around us, nature, dreams, intuition and the angels and ascended masters. if you are unsure of what to do, or the best way to proceed ask your angels and ascended masters for help. If you feel strongly directed to act follow your heart and move forward. Likewise if it doesn’t feel right or makes you uncomfortable make a quick assessment and take another path. Divine guidance combined with your intuition will never steer you wrong. Remember, it’s up to you to listen and to act upon the information you receive and use it to your best advantage.

All Angels and Ascended Masters can help you if you call on them. The list below shows specific issues and who can best help.

Archangel Chamuel helps us with relationships of all kinds.

Archangel Azrael helps those who are grieving.

Archangel Jophiel  helps us work through ugly situations and helps us to see them in a new light.

Archangel Raphael helps with all areas of healing.

Happy Tuesday, I’m sitting here with my coffee and listening to the dawn chorus welcome the new day. This is something I do just for me, it brings me joy and helps me enter the day in peace with myself and the Universe. Try to do something for yourself everyday, something that makes you happy and peaceful. This does not make you selfish. It helps us to ground and center. It gives us a little down time before getting back to the “real world”. Don’t treat yourself as an afterthought, treat yourself like the important being that you are!
