Annual garage sale 2016

 LOL, I am remembering the highlights from yesterday's garage sale.Many beautiful connections...another repeat buyer...and afternoon spent hanging with my dad

...and a storm that rolled in in the last hour and our perfectly timed wind up of beautiful day...all topped of with a persistent buyer looking for our address and DVDs for sale...in a huge downpour. How J jumped out in the rain, getting soaked to collect the wanderer, open the garage and bring the DVDs in so he could search through and warm up. How this avid movie collector shared about his favourite movies and actors...stuff like this always makes me smile from the heart.

And the cherry. .."...you know...that coloured guy...Seagull. ..always swinging a sword..." "...you mean Steven Seagal?" ..."Yeah! Him! Oh look! Here is one of his movies"

Why is this a cherry? This reminds me that the language around diversity needs a change...this reminds me, that I am grateful that I know that there are a LOT of people who operate from a purer filter than we assume. ..this reminds me that there is Greater "Mass mind" that connects us all with a loving and celebratory intention. Not everyone has dismissed the gift of mastering and experiencing their own lives fully and individually while still being connected on the whole. Also reminds me that we are rich with the gift of celebrating people daily through loving curiosity. ..what wealth for people to feel so welcome and encouraged in our presence.

There's a thread that runs through it. Your life that is

 Good morning! Making plans for the future. ...so many possibilities. ..how can one (anyone) decide on one thing when you are gifted with multiple opportunities? Oddly enough, after struggling for so long, yesterday opened up some insight. ...I have heard it before...quoted like parables to those who don't understand or grasp...that there are clues....look for the common thread...blah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH....I need an example people! I was hoping it was more like an arrow, pointing the direction to go or a light at the end of a tunnel to follow...but as I reflect now, it's only a few people that may have described anything remotely close. ..it's the thread! That it runs constant the whole way through. Like going through a maze...stay with the thread, through winding paths and unexpected corners...It may not seem that it will get you out or even make sense sometimes...and other times it will make you laugh as you look back and see how it all ties together.

Yesterday, it surprised me...today it is making me cry and nod with acceptance. Simple, ... the reason it sounded like riddles is because. ..there is not a "clear" description for it...you just have to experience it for yourself to truly see. (Sorry, I was hoping it would describe it more clearly than the thread thing, but the "goal", "success ", "happiness ", "fulfillment " that you seek is already a part of your journey. ..."what you seek is seeking you" ? "...seek and you shall find..." ...just look for connection! ... )

I'm sorry for all you are going through...

 Good morning!

I just want to say...I'm sorry for all the sadness you are feeling. ..the ways that the situations of the world are not helping you to have hope or to feel safe...for all the trauma that is being lashed out...opening up what feels like wounds ....

Please though, do not leave your wounds exposed and raw...do not allow infection to set in or illness to fester. Right away decide that you will nurture and love so that not only you, but others can heal as well. Clean it out and allow goodness to flow and circulate there. ..allow that good flow to go throughout all of those places in you and your life.

It is amazing...when we look beyond ourselves that we can then recognize what strength in love we do truly have and yet that is only a glimmer of the possibilities. ..

...considering the level of great to which we were all created. What a great gift we have and a great gift we are.

How to makes adjustments when...

Won't sleep + little energy = me staying local and low key. No, it's not an low iron issue...it's a I want to sleep when it's bedtime issue. And even moreso, it's a me wanting some OFF task and just chill time...the unscheduled, unplanned, unalarmed, just being me KIND!

Off to sit in the sun for a little bit while Sunshine squawks at me LOL.

We are all part of a bigger picture

 Good morning! I got out on a limb with this one (and yes, to many it seems I actually built my treehouse 20 ft up in the air supported by cables on said "limb" LOL) ....what I have been seeing, hearing, and interpreting from the various comments, conversations, sharing of vision and opinion is...that we all desire unity.

And...with that said, when something is not in the way that we are envisioning that unity to look like...we get a bit insistent. ..a bit "put of"...set back...annoyed even, that someone or something is not yielding to that vision in the way that we had hoped. I have met many people that get quite excited about how they would fit me into their puzzle...I take that as a compliment.

Thank you for your desire of connection and unity with me ...and allow me to share that my vision may not be the same...goodness! I know my vision is not the same... I've even surrendered my vision into a bigger puzzle of understanding, so it doesn't even get to stay the same one day to the next. But one thing does remain...that it's a puzzle. And we are uniquely edged pieces that fit together into forming a much bigger picture than I can fully imagine...but from looking around at the pieces around me, I am always amazed at how they fit together so well with or without seeing the whole picture.

Your value is priceless

 

I can not stress this enough. Just because someone fails to SEE value doesn't mean that it's not there! Period! And imagine with me (and I practice on a constant basis...many people can step up and share that I do...not like I need a witness though, because the gift of this is indescribable. ..you have to experience it for yourself )...Imagine that everyone you meet has a "gem" of a gift or story or victorious or persevering and inspiring journey that they are going through that no scripted movie could cover as well. I stopped watching TV and reveled in the joy of "seeing" others as amazing privileges to witness and even being graced to connect with.

It brings tears and gulps of gratitude to just think about all the BEAUTIFUL people I have experienced (even the "mean" ones that are longing for connection and to be "seen"). I may not always be on the top of my observations and connections, but the value I have been surrounded with is immeasurable and priceless. Yes you! Don't forget it! #Lovefirst #Sawubona #Iseeyou #oneanotherlove

Change is in the air and crows that can't sing nice

 Good morning! There is a screaming (goat-bleeting-screaming) crow and it's family that have moved into the neighbourhood (a few months now). They are gonna give the other crows and ravens a bad name. This morning they were on top of my house. You can hear the other crows, ravens, and even magpies at the same time...not the same. They are pretty rough looking, but no more squirrel chatter and quarrels.

Change is definitely in the air. Sometimes what shows up to take the place of something else is a lot more frustrating to deal with than what you wanted gone or to end in the first place. This reminds me to set in mind first what I would want in exchange for something else instead of just clearing house. Cuz if you replace with something you intend you have an idea of what you are going to get...but if you just want something gone...ANYTHING else can land in its place.
