SIGNS



I have been NOTICING lately all kinds of SIGNS in my life. Some of these SIGNS are actually CHANGES that I either feel or sense are coming about. Some of these SIGNS feel a bit uncertain or vague while others are breathtakingly beautiful and even enchanting!

I definitely NOTICE some CHANGES in my energy level, my interests, my desires and my abilities.Some of these AWARENESSES are disconcerting and others I can ACCEPT easily. While other SIGNS can be amazingly wonderful and awesome to behold. I love walking around the lake and sitting on a bench to write, & watching all that is going on in front of me. One of my favorite' scenes' is the way the sun and water somehow blend to make what I call 'fairy lights'. If you just happen to catch the light on a tree trunk or branches where the sun (or the combination of the water and the sun) make the tree fairly 'dance' and lightly ripple with delight! It is mesmerizing to watch and lasts about 1 to 4 minutes. 

It is indeed a dance and I feel a SIGN from it that ALL IS WELL! It's fun to wait and 'get the message' that the SIGN is trying to convey! It's always something and it is up to each one of us to perceive what any SIGN means to us. It calls for PAYING ATTENTION to what's going on both inside and outside of us. When birds sing above me or around me I listen to them and usually wonder . . .but I do NOTICE the loveliness of the sound. I'm even getting to where I don't mind crows so much!

SIGNS can be very subtle like a soft wind that suddenly comes up seemingly from out of nowhere. Some SIGNS can be very obvious and sometimes disturbing like a fire alarm, the phone ringing or a sudden shout from close by. the reaction in my body is different with each experience. I navigate toward quiet, soft, beautiful anything and tighten up and feel fear at the sound of sharp loud sounds, at least until I realize what they are. Just for fun, check out the mandala above for a study in intricacy. What does it say to you?

The beauty about SIGNS is that they can be experienced through any of the 6 SENSES, sight, sound, touch, hearing, taste and FEELINGS! I love this fact because I won't miss much if I keep my SENSES open and 'on alert'. 


It is so easy to do if

we stay OPEN to Life and 

AWARE of where we put

our feet!



BLESSINGS

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
