SEEDS



When I went for a walk yesterday around the lake, I watched as these tiny pink flake like twirley things came falling all around me. They were so beautiful, they reminded me of soft blossoms falling from a tree. I picked one up and saw that it was a SEED inside this precious pink pod. It was gorgeous with teeny tiny stripes of a deeper pink running across the whole pod which was about an inch long. It had a gentle curve, with this tiny seed at one end of the pod.

It was as though it was 'hand made' by God, one SEED per pod. It was from a Maple tree. I marveled at the fact that the very tree it came from, which was very tall, had started from a SEED just like all the ones falling to the ground. It was astonishing to me to think that every tree, flower, vegetable, animal, person starts out as a SEED!(maybe some things have a different way of starting out!) 

I decided to bring home 5 pods and soak them in a shallow bowl of water to see if they might open up. I did break one apart to see the SEED and found a hard brown SEED about the size of a sunflower SEED. A fairly nondescript looking little item that opens up and grows into a huge tree! It was a WONDER!

SEEDS are indeed a wonder to me, SEEDS in NATURE, seeds in our minds called THOUGHTS, IDEAS. and INTUITIONS. I was talking with someone who mentioned a couple things that were bothering her. After talking for awhile and I shared some solutions that might support her in dealing with them. As we were saying good bye, she commented that she felt inspired to make some changes. I felt so grateful that she had opened up to me! This little exchange were SEEDS that were planted to support her in making her life flow more smoothly. It really can be that simple, just to 'open up' and let new information come in so INSPIRATION can do the work.

Experiences like that with people or( even by myself) is what makes me feel that I am ON PURPOSE in my life! I love to serve and support as best I can. I'm learning that when any IDEA pops up in my mind it is a SEED being planted! This applies to myself or in sharing with another. It's completely heartwarming to me that I get to realize once again that there is a higher purpose for each of us to experience and explore. 


SEEDS are scattered 

all around

waiting to sprout!

PLEASURES BLEEDING HEART When I look around the VILLAGE, I find more and more scenes, activities, support and people that give me PLEASURE. It’s so easy for me to experience new aspects of my life at the Village. So much is available here and I’m open to more adventures everyday. There are several activities I want to try. One PLEASURE I have done is watercolor painting and I intend to do more of that. The activities I enjoy every week are exercise classes, swimming, gardening, meeting new people, writing my blog, teaching classes, my garden and generally enjoying each day to see what comes up. Every night when I get into bed at night I give thanks for a most rewarding and surprising day!  Remember, you can rotate activities, or stagger them and you can rest whenever you want to! I love this new attitude I have adopted because I no longer fret and plan each day to the fullest. I derive much more satisfaction from being free and spontaneous a great deal of the time.

Easter Lily RISING We all know the feeling of RISING; An uplift, an awakening, an experience of   a breakthrough and the opening of the heart. Even thinking about the sun RISING can be an uplift. It is also the Phoenix RISING out of the ashes. That is such a powerful image for me. I have just experienced a RISING, a huge avalanche of experiences that have been profound. My daughter and her fiancé visited me that was wonderful. It was a sort of mission that we were all on that was truly amazing.   I also sold my car to a very lovely woman that appreciates it and it was so effortless! As I was about to leave an appointment Friday, the power went out from the storm. I could not access the Village to come get me, nor Uber. I met a woman who was so wonderfully friendly and kind and offered me a ride back to the Village. I was stunned. We talked like we had known each other for years. We had lunch and have become friends. Again effortless. Somewhere in the mix, I had

DELIGHT This is one of my favorite words! The sight of it, the sound of it and the meaning of DELIGHT . . . DELIGHTS ME. I begin my day by opening my blinds and looking out to the trees and the lake, every morning! Then I see the ducks waddling about and the magnificent egret(s) prancing around. Lately I’ve watched the Whistling ducks, I saw a mama, daddy and 3, yes 3 tiny babies running then swimming together! Such a DELIGHT! More and more I am enamored with NATURE. I can always fine something that makes me NOTICE something that is present that perhaps I never NOTICED before. Sometimes it is as simple as a limb on an old oak tree, or the markings on the Muscovy ducks. A DELIGHT is more than just in Nature. I have recently had a few conversations with people that were completely DELIGHTFUL! It makes me feel so uplifted and grateful to know them and share in some special conversations. It stays with me for a long time. The key for me is to listen to them
