Celebrate NEW

I have been faced with challenges of my faith in the higher self. The loss of an aunt, as well as the loss of a 1o year old boy from my community on the same day, left me feeling deflated. I was at the wake of my aunt today and she looked so peaceful…much more so than the day I went to say goodbye. The room was so full of laughter and wonderful memories and I was feeling much more at peace. With the onset of spring, it has brought about renewal in my life. I feel ready to face each day with an open heart and mind. My husband is off for 14days of very well deserved R&R. We are so excited to spend this time together and work on strengthening that family bond. I walk through my days with a lightness and feeling of “ready”. I feel ready to take on whatever life wants to teach me. Whatever my kids have to teach me. Whatever I have to teach others!!!

I am so excited to be getting my first degree Reiki from Barb Westgate with my KL at my side. I miss her so much and I really look forward to this time together. Such a wonderful thing to experience together. I am so excited about the growth she is experience. She deserves all the awesome things that are happening in her life!!!

Remember each time you see something new, be it a baby, a bud on a tree or even a new friend…that life is full of wonderful experiences and we should bask in all the details it has to offer.

Love and Light

My Intentions…

A warm hello to everyone!  I have been doing some very serious soul searching and thanks to my partner and best friend, I have been lead to a wonderful woman!  From her I will be attaining my first degree Reiki, and then taking a Children’s Yoga Instructor class.  I am so excited to have this knowledge in my life.  I have felt recently as if I was lost in a sense.  I was having a hard time channeling my vibrations and thoughts and desires.  Now I know…this is my path.  I have been really attune and having vivid visions lately and I know it is because my path has been set forth in front of me.  In 12 days I will head on vacation with my family.  I am so excited to be “forced” to drive together for 16hours.  I can’t wait to have that connection time!!!!  I hope to be able to blog from my trip, however I know you forgive me if I don’t.  I have had some sickies in my house that I have decided today is the day they must leave…so I am off to open windows, light some candles and rid my house of them =-)

A big thanks as always goes out my my KL as well as my new friend Barb!

Greetings!  It has been a long time since I have had the chance to connect with everyone.  My life has been wonderfully busy.  I really and truly enjoy the fast pace that life offers…however I am ready to dig my heels in for a break.  I am thrilled to share with you my new find!!!!  Every time I would pass this wonderful store in Belleville, I felt the vibrations that I needed to peek inside.  I never allowed myself the time…and I think had I looked earlier I wouldn’t have been ready.  However today, was the day.  I attended a funeral for a close friend of mine’s Mother.  Her life and death really touched me deeply and I was questioning myself in a few ways.  After the funeral and farewell, the family invited everyone for a celebratory lunch.  Low and behold I parked near the Green Willow.  As I walked past I saw signs for card readings and more and I knew today was the day I would allow myself the time to investigate.  The sidewalk appeared to vibrate as I strolled up to the steps.  When I walked in I was greeted with a wonderful smile and everything you could imagine to feed your spirit!!!  There were cards, books, music, insence, stones, pendants and more.  This store was phenomenal!  I purchased a few stones that chose me as well as some Doreen Virtue Angel Cards.  I can’t wait to use them with my children!!!  I urge anyone who is passing through not to pass up visiting this amazing store on Pinnacle Street in Belleville Ontario… www.greenwillow.ca is the website…I found it was best viewed in Internet Explorer.  Let me know what you think!!!!!!

 Blessings!

Big Weekend…

We had an amazing weekend in my house!  I have been learning all week and this weekend was the perfect way to bring the lesson to it’s point of AH HA!  Grace cut 10inches of her amazing hair to donate to cancer.  It was an emotional day!  Below is a picture of her new cut.  My heart was beaming with pride for our little girl.  She knew what she was doing and where her hair would go.  She was so brave!!!!

With this awful weather, it has brought germies into my home.  Has left both of my darling children ill for a few weeks now.  Now all three of us have a cough that keeps us up at night and my youngest gasping for breath during the day.  Still with a snotty faced smile, her favorite thing to say is “Happy”.  She will catch me in a negative moment and say “Happy” to me.  Sometimes it is even “Happy happy happy” as if to say “Get off your rump Momma and do something special. Grace asked me today what was wrong.  I replied “Nothing darlin” and she persisted…then what is wrong with your eyebrows?  Even how we are feeling on the inside, not matter how hard we try to shield our children, can show.  I raised them up to her and was truthful.  I told her I was feeling overwhelmed and just needed some space.  She quietly retreated to her toyroom just like that!  Children are powerful messengers! 

Today at my yoga class I pulled the “flow” card.  This type of message seems to come to me frequently.  I have to fight the urge to try and create my path.  I have been applying like crazy to jobs as I am nearing the end of my maternity leave and I am left feeling an extreme sense of urgency.  I have been given money to advertise my own business, and I will do that.  It is the interim that concerns me.  The number “one year” comes to me every time I soul search on this question.  I have been doing so many readings and asking my guides and the universe for some guidance and I continue to get the same messages…to let things go out to the universe and let it happen.  So I guess that is what I am doing with applications…setting them free until they land in the hands of the right person.  While I feel urgency, at the same time I feel peace and trust.  This will happen in divine time!

Speaking of divine time…every time I would try to watch the Oprah webcast, something was in place that was keeping me from doing so.  I really struggled through the first chapter and after last week’s webcast not working I felt it was time for me to wash my hands and realize it wasn’t for me.  I had lost interest.  This week, my husband was working and really wanted a reflection evening to myself so I decided to give it another try.  2 mins before the webcast, Grace woke up screaming and then baby Amelia did.  I took my deep breath and realized this was another sign for me.  However once Grace was downstairs with me, only 5mins had passed and I decided I would tune in.  Amelia cried for a few more mins and then it faded.  My little Grace laid with her head on my knee, not saying a word (hard for her!) and just listened…and then fell into the most peaceful sleep.  I watched the majority of the webcast in awe with her on my lap.  I carried her to bed and returned to a cup of tea and a blanket.  Only one light in my whole house on.  I felt so at peace.  The webcast made sense finally.  I was only meant to get those messages as they came to me.  Grace was a messenger…she delivered me to my guides.  Now I can’t wait to give the book a second chance and continue my journey.

 When I met my yoga instructor I had what I now know, was an opening of my third eye.  I was so drawn to her and knew that her wonderful wellness centre was a place for me.  We have decided to pilot a project to try and record a class for people to take home.  We have no plans other than the recording, and this is okay.  It will come together in divine timing.  I am thrilled to partner with her on this venture!

When I put my kids to bed now, I whisper in their ear…”Peace, peace, peace, love, love love” and that is the last thing I leave in their sweet ears….so I leave you with that as well….peace peace peace….love love love!

Awakening

Have you ever had that moment…some call it the “Ah ha” or “carpe diem” or “squeeze the day =-)”….I just watched THE MOST amazing…enlightening film that has forever changed me. I will no longer be…JUST. Just a Mom, just a wife, just….my life is an occasion and I will rise to it!  I will no longer look at a bed and think it isn’t okay to be jumped on.   I want to see just how high that ball will bounce in the house…how far that kite will soar…how great ice cream for breakfast is…let bubbles break on my floors and in my childrens hands.  I want to break all the rules…I will allow simple things to take place and soak in each second is has to offer.  I will look for that sparkle to return to my daughters eyes…and in turn my own.  I can’t wait for her to get up tommorrow to start this fresh new way of thinking.  I will be WHO I am…because I AM ME!!  I won’t care what others think…I will skip to the park, store, bathroom.  I will admire simple things like hair sticking up, a skirt untucked.  Just allowing life to happen…and not creating what I THINK needs to happen.  I want to just let it BE.  I will play on the floor, wear hats that don’t fit, create a new dance every day.  I will hear what music has to offer, dance “like no one is watching” and not care if someone is!  I will show my children what life has to offer…and not let another day pass me by!  It is my TURN!

What is it they say…

Bad things come in three’s?  I am learning some serious life lessons!  My oldest daughter decided that she needed some attention and consumed a large and un-safe amount of Tylenol so we spent a portion of a day in the ER drinking charcoal..lesson…spending more time connecting with my daughter.  Next, I hurt my neck in my amazing yoga class…lesson…relax and enjoy new things as they come.  And finally, I fell down the stairs and now here I sit with a few possible broken ribs and broken wrist…lesson…put shoes on to go to the basement and fix that nail sticking up….and not every lesson has to be about one’s self!  So now here I sit, forced to reflect.  Each time I talk about employment and the forced return to work (in my own head) I feel so weighed down…yet when I talk about my own artistic  business I am filled with such light and joy!  I have been given a wonderful monetary gift to pay for an advertising campaign so I am going to take off full tilt!  It fills me with such joy and I know this is what I am meant to do!  And A Room in the Rainbow is a HUGE part of it!  I can’t wait to see what 2008 will bring…I affirm it will be filled with love and support!!!!!!!

A new found treasure

Who would have known it!  On the same block as my house I would find the most amazing spiritual place…and with my Mom at my side!!  I took my first Yoga class today from Mora File of The Wild Orchid Health and Wellness Centre in Napanee.  It was the most moving experience!!  I was brought to tears before we even started just due to the atmosphere.  The energy in that room was phenomenal!  It was a GREAT workout and I sobbed during the entire meditation.  I felt so connected to everyone in the room and in my heart I knew I was meant to be there!  Mora knew that I had made some wonderful connections and I am meant to have Yoga in my life!  I am thrilled to start this powerful journey to dive deeper into my spiritual self.  I recommend The Wild Orchid to everyone!!!!!

Sometimes you see it!

And you saw AH HA!!!

My husband and I watched “Into the Wild” tonight and it was absolutley inspiring!  A young man on a journey to self discovery not only in the wild, but in life.  He lives on nothing but goodwill!  This is a must see. I am left with a promise to myself to spend as much time as possible in nature this year! 

We had a busy day today and I look forward to our Family Day tommorrow.  XO
