My Garden

When I look at my garden I see the blossoms of beautiful colors and shapes and forms.  I see that each blossom brings such beauty, love and peace.  The exquisite garden brings me internal joy knowing that each beautiful blossom was created by God and Earth provides those of the earth realm to tend to them.

Each plant, flower and weed has an individual design and when brought together create a beautiful design of God’s love and essence.  Some plants grow tall and tower over the others as if a guardian to protect them.

Some are tiny and hold a place where others just stop to see this tiny plant holding a place of empowerment and remind us all that no matter how tall or tiny, every creation of God holds light, color and beauty for us to witness and experience.  Some plants go to sleep at night while others are awake and watch over one another.  Some leave the garden before others and we have the opportunity to thank it for what beauty it gave to the whole garden.  There are flowers and plants that love the sun and rain, and others who like the shade and dark and it all creates a garden full of individuality and growth.

There are times when we have to weed the garden from that which

brings a negative and sometimes destructive element into the beauty of the garden, we have to then remove those weeds and allow them to

grow wherever they will be accepted and there is always some place to be on God’s earth.

It takes time to pull the weeds and it can be exhausting at the end of the day, but, within the time and space of weeding one can experience thoughts, words and lessons with the hard work.  Once it is done and I take another look at the garden it is once again beautiful as it takes time and care, love and gentleness to cultivate the individual beauty and form of each blossom.

There are times when there are those elements that steal the seeds and take them elsewhere because they can not grow on their own.  The weeds my find out that the seeds they stole were not theirs to steal at all.

Sometimes the winds bring back the seeds to be planted once again and to join the garden bringing their form, their color and their fragrance as well beauty back and and when I look at the garden I know they are in full bloom because God created each and everyone to be the most divine aspect of Being for God’s delight and joy.

Being a caregiver of God’s garden teaches as many lessons and out of each of those lessons, we receive the blessings of God’s Knowledge, Wisdom, Grace and Mercy.  I am thankful that I have been given the joy to cultivate a magnificent garden on God’s beautiful planet we call Earth.

Today

Today as I was working and writing I felt this energy come upon me and I knew I had to sit still and be in the presence of that energy.  As I let go and placed myself in meditation, I could feel the Light and Love of God embracing me, filling me with gratitude.  When the meditation ended I continued to feel the energy of gratitude moving through me.  I knew it was time to write to a couple very specific people in my life, as it was time to let them know my deepest thoughts for them and know that I had the opportunity to say what was in my heart.

The one thing I have learned in the last ten years so deeply, is that time is not about us, it is about the timing of God, the presence of change and movement in our lives so we can become and do what we came here to do.

 

Years ago Oprah had someone on her show that shared his story about not having enough time to tell his father how he felt before his father passed.  I am not sure why that had the affect on me that it did, but, I heard that message deep down inside of me and I am so thankful that I did.  I sat down and wrote my parents a letter from my heart, sharing my thoughts, my love and gratitude with them for being the wonderful and kind parents they were.

I have always been a card sender, sending cards to thank others, to let them know I was thinking of them, it is just who I am and I love that aspect of myself because it gives me great joy to let others know how important they are to me in my world.

Well today when that energy came over me to meditate the same feelings came to me to sit down and write to those specific individuals and share my soul thoughts with them.

We often think we have tomorrow, we have time, we don’t have to tell them anything because they know.  It is true, they probably do know, but, when I receive letters and cards of gratitude, care and thank you notes, it brightens my day to know that someone was thinking about me, and took the time to communicate with me a hand written note or letter.  I continue to believe in the regular mailing system, and love to go to the mailbox and receive something unexpected that fills my heart with joy.

That letter I wrote and sent to my parents way back, I found in a frame on their bedroom wall once when I went to visit them, I sat down and the tears came because I knew it was received and they that it was important enough to frame and be present in their lives every day.

We live in a very fast moving world right now.  We share things on facebook that sometimes I cringe at and sometimes smile about and all, but, the whole world is looking at it too!

Writing to someone is private, it is intended to be between you and me.  It is so special to know you are thought of and to let others know they are special too!

I have met someone new who is a friend of someone I love dearly and I have received two cards from him already within the very short time I have had the joy of getting to know him.

I thought about it when I wrote today.  Whether it is sent by the regular mail, email or handed to them, it is important to let someone in your life know how you feel, tomorrow isn't promised to us and letting others know how important they are to you and what they may have done for you that was deeply moving and important is such a wonderful gift, lifts the spirit and the soul sings a song.

Thank you,

Thoughts

Woke up today knowing everything in my life is about to change.  I don’t know how to explain it but it is deep feeling.  It is going to just happen.  Life is about changes and moving, endings and beginnings.  There is a Universal Law that states:  The readiness of a situation to alter, modify, transform or convert is caused by change in “inner attitude” of one of many, and then incidental and parallel outer manifestation occurs.

I felt the time for shift and change was already here about two months ago and felt I was not ready to shift, but, as my work changes and my energy in life is changing it is all meant to be.

I’ve been aware for my life that every 10 years for me something shifts and I think that is good.  Now my life’s work is changing and I think that is wonderful.  I have a strong sense and desire to work with women to overcome their pain through healing of their soul.  This work has come to me and opened a new doorway.  I see it as a combination of all the classes and workshops I have created and taught with the my masters guides and teachers.  We take all we learn and pay it forward in service and when we do this, our soul rejoices in being a living prayer of hope and understanding for others. The journey has also impacted my own personal life in dramatic ways and the shifting is necessary.  

I am blessed with the support of my partner and family and that means everything to me.

In the program we offer: The I AM Teaching, we teach that we often become comfortable in situations that are not working or not good for our highest and best because the change can be very difficult and we are not sure what the future looks like, so we stay comfortable in what we know, even when know we are stuck, we seem to want to know how things will be,before we risk what we have. That often creates missed opportunities, frustrations, disappointments.       

For me, that meant that I needed to step forward on a new path because the old one is not working, the feeling is it is complete and now it is time for the new way.  We all at the Heart of The Dove have been feeling the shift for along while.  

We will always be the Heart Of The Dove, and always offer more advanced classes and workshops.  Gerald and I enjoy teaching and offering guidance and private sessions, but, it is time to be of service and assist in the areas that I have had to overcome in my life and offer my knowingness and my hope to others.

Have a blessed day and know that God always has a plan waiting for us to arrive.  

My love and peace to all.
