Giggling Over!
A friend of mine told me one night that I was like a ray of light and that I just seemed to giggle over! That made me giggle. But at the same time, I remembered I had not always been so happy. In fact, I spent many years in a state of depression. The conversation reminded me of the time in my life when I had been in an unhappy relationship. It was a time when I thought I was doing all the right things—the things I was supposed to do. Unfortunately, very few of those things brought me real happiness, and I didn’t feel like giggling.
There were moments during all those years when I found great delight in my children. I know I laughed with them and giggled when they did funny things. But, it wasn’t until I ended that unhappy relationship that I realized how suppressed I had allowed myself to become. I recall the time about a month after my children’s father left when I found myself trying to get my daughters excited about visiting their dad. I explained that their daddy needed a relationship with them, and that they needed a relationship with him. However, their protests continued. Out of the blue, I asked if they wanted me to get back together with their dad. Both my daughters looked at me in horror. Simultaneously, they gasped and cried, “NO!” I was surprised by their strong response and I asked them, “Why?” My youngest daughter, in all her innocence, replied, “Mom, you can’t. We have never seen you so happy! You have never laughed and giggled and played like you do now.” At that moment, I realized I was the one who was responsible for being happy! . . . and one of my main goals became to find my giggle.
I started by looking for the reasons I had been (and still was) sad. I was surprised to discover that I really didn’t know what it meant to be happy. I was even more surprised to discover that at a deep subconscious level, I didn’t think I deserved to be happy. Whoa . . . I knew I had to change those beliefs! I also found depression in my family genetics. That had to change too! Fortunately, my training and my work provided the tools to make the changes. I enlisted Creator’s help and over the course of time, I shifted a cluster of beliefs that permitted me to experience more joy and happiness. My giggle began to return.
The next piece of my giggle came when I discovered gratitude at a deeper level. I found an amazing and life-altering gift when I started being grateful for the littlest things. I found gratitude in the sunrise, in the warm sun on my face, in blooming roses and freshly cut grass. I was grateful for a clean kitchen and for food that tasted melt in your mouth delicious. I was grateful for gas in my car! Before I knew it, gratitude seemed to flow without any thought or effort. It spilled over into every aspect of my life. I found more joy in my children, my family, my friends, and my clients—and my giggle also began to spill over.
Then I connected to the child within. Oh my goodness!!! What a delight the little people inside us are! When I learned how to allow my inner child to come out and play, that’s when I learned how to play no matter what I was doing. Whether I was doing the dishes or working with a client, it all became play. And that’s when my life became a giggle—the giggle that was so obvious to my friend.
I’m glad I found my giggle. How about you? Where is your giggle? Can I help you find yours? By identifying and releasing old patterns and beliefs, your whole perspective of life can change.
Oh Happy day.

Dear Me
Dear Me,
I've always been a worrier. I used to worry that my parents would die, or that I wouldn't make friends at school, or I would get a horrible disease, or I wouldn't be able to have children. I have had 2 miscarriages, and I remember like it was an hour ago sitting in the lab 10 years ago waiting for the bloodtest to confirm if I was pregnant once again. If I was, maybe it would stick. Maybe I'd be a mom soon.
I had just watched an inspirational show on Lifetime or a channel like it, and it was talking about miracles and signs from above. that had a mother of a child who had passed away and she was distraught. She was looking for signs that he was ok, and asked for a flowe be sent to her, because at her church service the pastor talked about the significance of flowers, or something like that. She saw that flower the next day, in the form of a rose, growing in the middle of a parking lot in a crack in the blacktop, and knew her son was perfectly fine. I remember watching that show, looking outside and saying "I wish I could have a flower to show me everything will be fine". I may have even asked for a flower.
When I was at the lab waiting for the blood test, I thought of that show. As I was having my blood drawn, the tech was making small talk, but I couldn't really hear what she was saying. All I could do was worry. Was this going to tell me something good? As I exhaled I looked up at the bare wall in front of me. Taped to the middle of the wall was a test tube they use for blood draws. How odd, but as I looked closer, there were 2 flowers growing out of the test tube-carnations. At the time I wasn't very spiritual or at least didn't know much about it, but I felt a sense of peace and comfort seeing those flowers....my first "sign" I can remember getting. Not only did that blood test show that I was indeed pregnant, but I gave birth to healthy Twins 7 months later (yes they were 2 months premature but healthy and are now almost 10!)
I always remember that sign. It was so comforting. I felt protected. I worried less, for the most part, even though less for me still left a nice amount of worry in my head, but it felt different. It was more of an "optimistic" worry, if there is such a thing. And now, when I am faced with different life challenges, equally as worrisome and anxiety producing, I have found that asking for signs from my guides once again to be comforting. They are aren't flowers now, but I have found they are different things, such as songs, a book, a place I was at that someone else very special to me was at the same time, number sequences such as 1:11, 2:22, 3:33.. Songs have been a very popular sign for me. I'll hear certain songs that are significant in my life for different reasons at different times. These songs help remind me of things I have to take care of first, my priorities, and things I have to look forward to in my future.
Sometimes I worry I'm making too much out of the signs and maybe they aren't what they are, but usually i get another sign when I get like that. I've learned I can even ask for signs, and if my guides think it's time, they'll pop one on the radio for me as a pick me up. Sometimes I'll hear the same sentimental song three times, and my favorite number has always been 3, (ever since I won a stuffed Benji dog at a fair when was little by putting my quarter on the number 3 at the spinning wheel.) I believe my guides know exactly when I need a sign, and I've learned to look for them. I thank my guides every time I receive a sign.

Conscious Awareness
There is a conscious awareness that has been making itself known for as long as time has existed. The shift is here and many of us are feeling it, the more unpleasent aspects seem to be the topic of discussion with many of my clients lately.
Now surfacing are emotional issues that had been restrained for so very long. The ones that have created the same chaos in your life over and over again. The emotions and behaviours that seem to destroy your dreams, your goals or your relationships. At times some of these emotions and behaviours are in place unconsciously to destroy anything in their path, after all they kept us safe. Or did they?? I believed they protected me from impending failure for it is better in your minds eye to shut down on your terms and not anyone elses . DO they keep us safe these trigger responses that are so deep in our psyche that we are not even aware of them until the pattern is so set in stone that there is no way of denying their existance? If your reaction to a situation in your life is "putting up a wall" and for some a fortress with a moat,..are we actually protecting ourselves or are we so very sure of the outcome?? Avoid pain by causing the familiar "nothingness", the disconnect,... I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about on some level.
I have had personal experience with this situation many times, in saying that, I had choose relationships that I knew would not "hurt" me. They were emotionally shallow, sexual charged and very temporary. I had the ability to walk away without so much as a second glance, I was over it,..next! Over the years this had become my "Modus Operandi",....had I saved myself any pain??,...nope not at all,...with this behaviour I just cemented the facts I thought to be true,...that nothing ever lasts,..I'm not good enough,...I don't "love" on the same level as others,..what do they see in me,..what if they "really" see me? Not pretty enough,...not smart enough,..just not enough period!! In saying that I would chose relationships with men that I had no real connect with,..safer that way,..not for them,..but for me. WOw,..did I have some work to do,..and where did this all come from,..where, what point in my life had I decided this is who I am? That is still a work in progress and my first step was to put into practice "new" beliefs,..I am pretty, I am smart, I am spiritual, I am love,..and I am an amazing "catch",..lol!
Digging up old "landmines" of self defeating belief systems has been quite a journey so don't expect things to change overnight, but there will be change. Shedding old belief system and getting in tune with ones truth isn't just going through the motions, it's a moment by moment, day by day process. Each situation you deal with you put into place your new operating procedures, for me that means analyzing each emotion I feel,.."do I connect with it"? is that how I "really" feel or is it how I "think " I should feel. That's the tricky part and I must say takes work,..real work. These are not New Years resolutions they are change,... real change. I have spent my life doing, think, and saying what I believed others would expect of me even if it mean't sacrificing my needs to accomodate theirs,..the end result,...disaster.
The ascension process is such that it seems like you have created your "worst nightmare", everything bubbles to the surface, you become physically ill which is a physical way to purge your being. This is a very personal journey and many will have similar "symptioms". Your spirit self would not have brought this all to the surface unless you were ready to deal with it. Even with the symptoms that include, sleepliness, fatigue, no appetite or eating contstantly, emotional ups and downs, loss of friends that no longer are vibrating at the same level you are, easily overwhelmed, physically ill, stressed,....all of these and more are part and parcel of the extreme alot of us are going through. Your soul is adjusting to the higher vibration and this will level itself out. Although you may not believe it at this very moment you will find your way through this and will be very happy you did so. Reaching for aspects of yourself that you didn't even know existed will propell you forward in leaps and bounds,.....it's freeing,..it's a peaceful place to be.
I am still a work in progress and still have to examine some of my "old" belief systems, but, I have embraced my spirituality and don't "hide" it from the masses anymore. I am open to love and the risk that may accompany it,..heartbreak,...or wait,..am I focusing on the old pattern?,..Love+Me=PAIN. No,..I am focusing on love that nurtures and is a spiritual and growing experience in all aspects from friendships to romance with no preconceived notions on how it should be,..just on what is. This is not to say there may not be any "struggles",..but it is worth opening yourself up to experiences you would have never in your past been able to experience. Scary?? You bet!! Worthwhile,..?? When you see and feel the difference all this makes in your life you will then KNOW it was worth it.
Love to all of you that are on the journey and even more love to those who are avoiding it~

Imagination by Kathryn Scott
Our imaginations were at our best when we very young. We were encouraged to imagine with games and books. Most of us believed in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and even the tooth fairy. We wondered and dreamed in our little minds how Santa came down the chimney, and how the Tooth Fairy knows that we have lost a tooth and that its under our pillow. We are encouraged to draw and make up stories, we played make believe, and played house, or cowboys and Indians or any number of make believe games.
Then all of a sudden things started get “real”! Reality starts to set in. “Sigh”. Society starts to mock the dreamers, story-time ends up being history lessons. Make believe turns into real life. I don't know about you, but life wasn't fun anymore! If we used our imagination we are called day-dreamers, idealistic, naïve, immature, and we begin to forget how to dream, and what the freedom of dreaming feels like.
We go to use our intuition, we approach it with seriousness, thinking I need to be inspired to create something profound and wonderful pursuit in our life. There is a heaviness to it, the flow is not there.
We then begin to realize that we are having a difficult time letting our intuition come in, soon realizing that it takes our imagination to connect to our intuition. It is the key to unlocking the doors the other worlds. We may be able to open some of the doors, but with the key of imagination we are able to unlock the doors of untold possibilities.
For you see, what you imagine is real, it is the secret to unlocking and receiving the intuitive information. It is the same channel you used to play house, or cars when you were little. Now you can use it for receiving boundless possibilities and it is the greatest vessel for intuitive connections and your creative power.
In my classes I teach that what you imagine is real. That many of us can “feel” it or “sense” it, or even feel it. I ask them to put pictures to what they are feeling. One of the biggest fears is that they are “making” it up. Wonderful I say, make it up, until you trust enough to know that it is real. Learn to trust, what you are seeing!
Meditating is a good way to start dreaming, picturing yourself on a beach or by a mountain stream. Imagine if you will that your mind is a big picture screen, letting wondrous scenarios come across the screen of your mind. Notice the details to what you are thinking about, what are the colors, are there people, who are they, what are they wearing? Where are you in your own picture show, Ask yourself the questions, and then notice. We become the artist of our own intuitive realms.
Once we start to dream and be a day-dreamer again we move into discernment and interpreting. This can sound so cut and dry, but you must remember that the world of the intuitive is not made up bricks and mortar, but of watery imagery, vast and interconnected.
Come out of the dark corners that create fear in your intuition and go through the back door of your imagination for it leads to the beautiful gardens full of blossoms of magic, choices, chances and hope.
Travel the roads to wonderment, and take flight into your blue vastness of creativity!
Be a witness to your own imagination, to your own intuition.
Just Imagine it and let the world come alive.
