Captured Moments

If we study the life cycle of anything that grows; children, animals, plants, flowers or vegetables, we notice that changes often usher in the greater growth.  The wind in late fall blows off the leaves, covering the forest ground in one last blast of color before the fresh white blanket of snow falls.  It lets a natural process happen, which is important for what comes after it.  It allows the seasons to continue.  The new growth of Spring is ushered in onto the empty branches.  The same with our human experiences.  Change happens and change is necessary for greater growth, expansion and JOY! As we get older, our children grow into adults, marry and begin having their families.  We were once out front, leading our lives, getting our educations and finding our spouses, houses and starting our families.  We begin retreating and slowing down as they begin their quest for often the very same things.  When things begin to shift and change, howe...

When our personal heart has been wounded, broken, affected or shattered, we will find anyway possible to hide it, distract it or fill up ourselves differently.  We will avoid that pain every which way we can so we don't appear foolish, vulnerable or an easy target for and to others.  How we go about doing self-comfort changes but what we choose can become an addiction.  Another option is we can take deep emotional, personal pain and instead become angry, unruly and overly-reactive versus suffer in silence or hide away.  We can react poorly to any and all that we perceive have caused that pain in us, whether it is real or imagined.  Lashing out is often the easier, better path to take in our mind because then we think we have done something that defends ourselves better then our other choice to just sit and take it. There is another way to heal our own broken, personal heart.  We can appeal to our own Higher Consciousness and ask it to enter our own self t...

When we hold onto resentments in our personal self, we keep those negative feelings in.  We end up carry the weight of those heavy and unnecessary burdens.  Those negative feelings become an illness in our system; affecting our minds, our emotions and our physical bodies.  Yes, our personal self never gets all it wants in life.  Yes, we can be side-railed by others, even trampled, undercut, and demeaned.  We can resent our roles in life, our place in life, all the suffering we have had to endure and yet freeing up that space is important and valuable for our inherent well being. We may not be aware we are carrying old, worn out resentments.  We may think and feel we are fine, healthy, happy and well and yet going deeper, it can become apparent to us we have a deeper anger hidden within us. With mass shootings on the rise in the US, it seems those who carry such anger and resentments are hitting their own tipping point.  The deeply held resentments ...

When something has been imbalanced for a long, long time, the time of re-balance must occur.  Maybe the message is subtle, maybe the message is strong and life-changing but it must occur because without balance, no one can move forward. Many things about human nature are now coming to light because their imbalance has hit a 'tipping point'.  Meaning we can't collectively move forward until this re-addressing happens. Not just in thought or feeling but with action, too. Our minds divide and our hearts unite.  We have a heart and we also have emotional truth.  Emotional truth or emotional intelligence is an answer to where this imbalance must happen.  Female systems, found in humans and animals, most naturally, have an emotional sensitivity, an awareness, an emotional reaction-response because it serves to protect and provide care for the family and the female herself.  It is an inner knowing that alerts a female to what is going on. It is useful in natur...

Despite all our human shortcomings, faults, failings and frustrations, we all carry a deep down to our core Truth.  This Truth is LOVE and that LOVE also knows us.  At any point in our lives, we can stop and take a moment to feel it, realize it and be so, so grateful for it.  It is the LOVE of life and the LOVE of this creation to live life.  It is about the simple breathing in and out, the simple joy of each day, the simple ease to look around at your surroundings and find something miraculous there! It is that well of Truth and Love within us that is always present and full, we just have to remember it is there, Loving us in Truth all the time!  We have to remember to LOVE it back and be grateful for it.  It is there for our well-being.  We can draw positive energy from it as needed.  It is our well of well-being! See it as a beautiful and pure deep pond, filled with re-generating LIGHT, LOVE and TRUTH, just waiting for us to take a long, de...

When confusion reigns, when fear pervades, when the Earth Herself, begins to shake, roll and cleanse and when She clearly seems undone, where is the Voice of clarity, understanding and compassion?  Where is the Guidance and Truth for us to follow?  Are there many Voices, are there many directions, are there many paths and if so, how do we find them? The answer that has been through time is still the same.  The Voice to listen to is within.  It is within our very Heart and Soul. It is that clarity, that understanding and that perception that will indeed guide us home and guide us to Truth. When Mankind can open it's Collective Hearts, Souls and Greater Minds, we will see and know the Bigger Truth and, therefore, be in positions to assist Mankind and the Earth Herself.  We will see our greater expanse and how LOVE is the only way forward.   We must KNOW and RESPOND to who we TRULY are before we can have a positive impact on our environment, ourselv...

Even the Earth now speaks of imbalance.  She is purifying Her imbalances so a greater Harmony with nature can occur.  She wants our attention.  She is a living, loving entity all Her Own and until we realize Her True Worth and Value, She will continue to make Her Voice known. We are not separate from Her.  She is requesting our Loving Presence on Earth. She begs for our awareness and our Truth.  What is that Truth? The Truth is we are all Beings of Light, Love and Grace if only we will remember that and allow that expanded Self forward.  That expanded Self is already aligned with LOVE itself and that LOVE lives in our Collective HEARTS of HEARTS!  This is what Mother Earth needs now.  She needs Our Love, Our Light and Our Grace. She is not to be exploited, nor abused, nor ignored! She is to be Loved, Nurtured, Recognized for all She openly and willingly provides.  She offers us food, light, warmth, water, all forms of nature and life it...
