Accept and Celebrate!

Posted by Margi on Apr 29, 2011

I received this email the other day. It’s a great reminder of how much our world can focus more on the light of others and ourselves. No matter what you experience or come across in life remember that love shines brightly to get you through any difficulties, any negative thoughts or judgments. We are all doing our best and that is always good enough. Don’t be so hard on yourself or others. We are all on this journey together, traveling similar paths with our own beautiful colors. Peace

 

 

PASS THE BISCUITS – author unknown

 

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then.  And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.  On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.  I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!  Yet all my dad did was reach for his Biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.

I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits.  And I’ll never forget what he said:  “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.  He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she’s real tired.  And besides… a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”

You know, life is full of imperfect things… and imperfect people.  I’m not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.  What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each others differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. 

 

 

Remember the light…

Our world is encompassing a great rebirth. Many of us are noticing sensational affects taking place all around us, as well as in our personal lives and in the lives of others. Like a roller coaster the world is experiencing its greatest ride, here to teach us to trust the process and live in the joy of it.

When I asked my guides about this great shift, first and foremost, they mentioned that the choices we make in regards to how we handle this change is ours and ours alone. This is the gift of our Creator: to allow us to create. Choices come through as feelings, thoughts, dreams and inspirations, and through self-exploration and engagements with others. This planet is about our experiences of life, and we have many of them. Through my highs and lows, my guides repeatedly remind me to remember to stay in the light, no matter what.

Often, in the face of turmoil, anxieties and energies run on overdrive. But it’s vitally important to stay focused on our lightness. The true meaning of why we are here is to see how well we remember this most significant aspect of our souls. Yes, we may have moments when we forget and get caught up in our upheavals, but that is part of the lesson, of which the purpose to help us “lesson” the illusion of heaviness. We gift ourselves the heaviness through thoughts and feelings to help us see our own light and love and how incredibly creative we are. And our soul’s true beauty radiates through how we react or don’t react to our experiences.

When we tap into our truth, our spirit always shines through bringing lightness to any situation, great or small. We just have to remember to lighten up and trust our inner guidance system to navigate. Start by taking a deep breath…then send light from your heart to the world and allow it to radiate back to you with peace, harmony and a greater sense of knowing that all is well no matter what. All is well, and divinely aligned. When you begin to lose focus, catch yourself and whisper, “All is well.”

Lightness and Love to All!

Sacred SELF

Posted by Margi on Jul 29, 2010

What does sacred mean to you? Does it mean nurturing yourself? Taking a break from time to time? Treating your body well? Caring for your mental health? Or perhaps taking time to reflect on inner peace? To me, sacred means all of these things and more. But where do we find it?

Once a year, I take a short break from my work to gift myself some time to recoup from day-to-day shifts. This year I am in Bend, Oregon cat-sitting, which I love. As each day unwinds, I find myself coming back to life, which is ironic, as I came here to take a break from life. But is there really such a thing as a break from life? Are we not life itself?

As I look out into the valley of tranquility—the vastness of the desert and trees that surround me—I feel invigorated. And it’s because I’m reconnecting with my sacredness and enriching my body, mind, and soul, all at once.

What a great gift for the spirit!

I believe that we all need to remember to respect ourselves – our “SELF” – on a daily basis, as well as within each step we take in life. How easily we forget what we need most: the sacredness of nurturing our inner beings and reviving the harmony that we crave. As I care for this cat, I am aware of the joy it’s bringing me and that she is actually nurturing me. I chuckle at the warmth she gives me as her head quickly turns at each bug that flies by her, teasing her in the moment. She is living the moment. She is in her own sacredness. She’s living life! And she doesn’t think twice about it—she’s just enjoying it.

When was the last time you took time to connect with your sacredness? I invite you to gift yourself, even for just a moment, to observe something sacred in your world. When possible, maintain this action wherever you are and wherever you go. It’s the best gift you can give yourself!

Live, love and laugh.

Life can be and is good! No matter what!

The Light Within…

Posted by Margi on Jun 30, 2010

 

We’re going through a time of massive energies exploding in all different directions. For many of us, it’s a never-ending awareness of this current restructuring.

While I realize that I am the creator of my world, what can I do to keep from losing my own mind, as well as assist others in not losing theirs? I turned to my guides and explained that I have so many people coming at me from many unique situations. As I thought of these things, I let out a breath and rested my head on my couch. And there, right in front of me was the answer: look for the light within. Afterward, to my amusement, I noticed the light that shines above my entertainment center. It was given to me with love. It’s a salt rock light that shines every night to bring me peace and clearing. It warms my heart with luminescence, and I adore it!

Sometimes I have to put things into perspective and chuckle about the turmoil we put ourselves through. We get so wrapped up in our daily lives, and the rush of it, that we forget that all the answers we ever need in any given moment are not in front of us, but within us. (That’s not to say that some signs aren’t right in front of us—we just need to be willing to open our hearts and eyes to see.)

I invite you to take a moment to connect and ask yourself any question that you might have about an issue, an unresolved situation or simply just an inquiry. Close your eyes and go within to that place of peace and harmony. Breathe deeply and trust the feeling, knowing, insight and warmth that radiates YOUR inner truth and wisdom.

We are clearly in a time of great change and shift. But, it is a shift of light and love if you are willing to see (wink wink). Signs are everywhere. When you notice these heavenly guideposts and reminders, it’s time to live. Grounding yourself in life and seeing the beauty—even in chaos—is anything from a wake up call to a gentle tap on the shoulder. Please enjoy the ride. And remember, it’s about the journey not the destination. 

 Happy trails sweet Earth Angels.

You are our light!  Shine brightly!

Memories…that warm the Soul

Posted by Margi on May 29, 2010

Special memories that warm the soul…ah, it’s like a nice cup of hot cocoa on a rainy day. Take a moment out of your busy day to reflect on a time when your soul lit up with joy. It’s important to remember where you came from…it’s what made you. A silly child’s smile, laughter with a sibling, a hug from a mom, a surprise birthday party from a friend, camping trip’s with family. Think back to a moment that brought you great joy or empowerment. What do you remember about what you learned, what you experienced, what you felt?

In this moment now as you reflect on those feelings, be aware of the true essence of spirit moving through you. You are who you are because of the memories you have created and utilized to become. This is why memories are so important. I invite you to rest a smile on your face and warmth in your soul – you are alive! You are free to be who you are, a bright shining star, special in every way. You make the world go round’. Smile, the universe has just taken a picture! 

Happy Memorial Weekend Sweet Angels! 

Just Be…

Posted by Margi on Apr 29, 2010

It’s the end of the month and I feel a gentle nudge from my guides who wish to share a message with us once again. Currently, I am overwhelmed, tired from working on the road, and somewhat stressed and tense from life’s events. I’m home now and I feel the push to work on a new message from my guides. Quietly I ask and patiently I listen. Without hesitation, this is what I hear: JUST BE. So I take in a deep breath and release and begin to feel the stress of a busy life move through and out of me. I am left with peace. I sense rejuvenation and calm – stillness in the moment.

What an important message. The guides and angel beings are here to help our lives and create it to truly be simple this month. Take a moment out of your busy schedule and for a moment JUST BE. Invite the light of love in and be calm with yourself for a minute or two (you deserve this treat! Yes YOU!) Try this on a daily basis, I promise that there is so much to gain – the continuous journey and re-connection of LIFE. Your life balanced – in joy. Enjoy!

 

Breathe…

Posted by Margi on Feb 23, 2010

So here I am another month gone by. How on earth is it already February? It’s time to write my next blog, and I would like to give a simple message. So I ask my guides what message they would like for me to gift. I receive no answer so I ask again. Still no answer. Hmm, could they be sleeping? No, they don’t sleep in their dimension. I know they’re out there so again I ask what I should deliver. Nothing comes back. I take in a deep breath to relieve my stress. My body relaxes as I take another breath, only slower this time. I’m still waiting for a message, yet I become much more relaxed as I wait. With another breath, I am feeling peaceful, and in the quietness I hear: breathe…breathe. I know. That’s what I’ve been doing. So what’s up? What do you want me to write about? Breathe, I hear again. Oh! I get it! You would like me to remind people that we need to take breaks and remember how important it is for us to breathe—and to do this with awareness and recognition!

Breathing helps us reflect and to stay in the moment. Distress and angst keep us from being aware. But breathing is a simple spiritual prescription. It’s our major sustenance in life…breathing! So remember, on a day-to-day basis, how important it is to be aware of your breath. Focus on taking deep breaths and being in the moment, which is now. Relax. It’s all God (good).
