Which Energies are We feeding?

Sometimes we have to switch off, Step away, and reground ourselves as our energetic bodies need to unplug and re-wire themselves from the lower frequencies of this Matrix, which so many are now beginning to awaken to. Also, they sense a big shift is coming. I do, I feel it deeply, do you feel the changes that are ramping up the vibrations?

Which kind of energies are you feeding?.. 

We who volunteered to be here at this time, and all of us now on this planet are meant to be here at this time, we need to wake up more of those who are ready to listen, and let them see that they are so much more than they ever thought possible.  And that through our thoughts we can help create massive shifts.

We are seeing that the very act of compassion and empathy of others is creating a vibrational shift within our human consciousness. Learning to send love from your heart into others and the world is a key factor in raising vibration and allowing peace to reign.

But as we lift our vibration higher, we also have to understand that there are those who are doing their upmost on the planet to lower them. So do not be fooled or get dragged into conflict.

Those of us who are awake to the ‘Systems’ of this world for sometime and whose empathy and sensitivity allows them to feel with their hearts and sense much deeper the truths of this reality are now being called into action as we unite our energies.

Do you not feel it within your hearts, that we now have to step up, and lift our vibrations higher still?

I’m always in awe of how beautifully orchestrated our synchronicities happen How we often here especially with my WordPress friends, find our like-minds dipping into those same pools of information and Light-Codes which have triggered us along similar themes within the posts we write.  I love it, knowing how our vibrations are linking us in unity.

This journey is not an easy one, and our waking process doesn’t happen overnight, there are those of us who have been on this journey for years, uncovering the truths of this reality.  And if you are only just opening your eyes, then what you find can often be a great shock to the system as you begin to unravel what has been hidden through deception.

Waking up means you uncover things which you would sooner not know, and its hard, its painful and its disturbing. For you are not only waking up to the world, but you are also dissolving the many layers you have held within over many life times as well, as you heal your own energetic bodies..

But when you understand your role, you than have to learn not to play into the hands of Fear.  You have to observe and see everyone here on Earth right now has a role, a purpose. Its hard to become neutral, but when you truly awaken, you see how this world is designed to divide and control setting one against the other. So try not to judge, but stand back and become the observer to what is happening.

That is the hardest part for me.. Witnessing the events unfurling, feeling others suffering. So I have to unplug, turn to creativity and nature as I lift my vibrations by meditating more and sending healing into the world.

And this exchange of energy is a two-way experience, because I receive back more energy and upliftment in return, which brings me back to my own Centre of Peace.

I look forward to reconnecting to all who visit with me here, and I thank all of you who have left your love vibration, I greatly look forward to visiting you on your posts over the next few days..

In love and Light

A Public Reply To Blogger Puzzle Of The Soul

Dear Blogging community, 

I feel I have to answer this comment more publicly, as I feel I was accused of plagiarism in my last post as a lady named Nanette  accused me of using her analogy of the ‘Puzzle’ in my last post, The Puzzle of Life the beginning of a series leading up to my post with Barbara in her Awakening Part three.. Links to follow at a later time.. 

I will let the comment and my reply I gave Puzzle of the Soul   speak for itself.

 

I See YOU!…

Have you found your Diamond Centre?~ Look within and find..

So many times, I pick up my journal to write, mainly it lives beside my bed, as I often wake in the early hours knowing I have something to say, yet its not until the pen touches the page I know what words will form.  I have learnt not to resist and just go with the flow. And allow the words to spill out onto the page until they stop.

I will close my journal satisfied that something needed to be said and it can be days before I pick it up again to write or read. I then flick back through the pages that I date when I write and  I read back through my scribbling.

Often my poetry is written this way, which I then type up, if I feel it worthy of the effort. And sometimes I can’t even remember writing some of the passages I entered and read  back in amazement as if some other hand wrote it.

Today I will share with you one such passage, I usually log the time I start to write also.. This piece was written on March 19^th time: 1: 35am.

I will entitle this

I SEE YOU..

Sleep eludes me as I try to empty my mind of trivia, I have no real concerns, I am lucky, and yet a thousand thoughts rush through my brain each one speeds through like a bullet train. Every carriage holding minute remnants of images that rush by my inner eye at the speed of light.

I let out a deep sigh, to begin my mantra, listening to the rhythm of my heart beat.

I sink into the velvet tunnel of blackness floating on air, I am lifted up into Garden.

The fragrance of the roses hit my senses before I see them. I find myself in a walled garden covered in their magnificent blooms. Their scent is so heady, almost intoxicating. My nostrils breathe deeply, so deep my head aches between my eyes.

In front of me is a bench, I sit as the dizzy perfume works its magic. A soft breeze lifts the petals that have already fallen on the path and more swirl to join them as the spent blooms let go of their Summer glory.

A low hum is vibrating all around the garden wall as worker bees gather pollen to fill their nests before the Autumn takes hold. Their hum speaks….

I see you—– I honour you…… I love you….

The rhythm beats along with their hum, the garden walls disappear as more petals fall caught by the breeze.

A warm glow shines its light upon the bench..

I see you…. I honour you….. I love You….

As a silver light in the shape of a figure’s silhouette is outlined in the glow.

I stand and reach out my hand and I hear myself say

I see you…, I honour you… I love you.

The shining figure steps forward into view, I then gasp as I hear my intake of my own breath. I step forward, I see my own reflection reaching out to take my own hand.

 I see you… I honour you.. I love you.. I say to myself..

I turn, open my eyes as dawn breaks and I sigh, as my mantra echoes on.. I made it through another long night into the light of a New Dawn..

I see you…… I honour You…… I love you..

 

Are you nurturing your own inner garden? Are you weeding out the negative thoughts that sabotage your growth? Are you honouring yourself?  Are you feeding your Spirit with the nourishment it needs to grow?

When was it the last time you looked deep into your Reflection To SEE Yourself, and Honour ALL that you are, and tell yourself You are Loved..

Maybe the next time you gaze into your reflection is a good time to say..

 I SEE YOU… I HONOUR YOU…. I LOVE YOU!….

And watch how your reflection smiles back!

 

💖Love to you ALL..💖

Dear Friends, I thank you for your patience, I have had this post held within my drafts for several weeks  and I was toying with keeping the comments closed. As I am still busy with other projects that are taking me away from computer time.

I am trying to unscramble information downloads from various sources.  Although I am trying gradually to catch up with those who comment here on a regular basis..  Its very hit and miss..

Many things are buzzing through this Dreamwalker’s head that I need to unplug it and point it in other directions, be it in nature or crafts. And while I absorb myself in Nature things come to the surface that I want to share, but as I have said before, until the words form themselves into shaping what I KNOW into more sense for others to understand,  I refrain from doing so. 

So I am honouring Myself, Nurturing Myself, and Learning to Love myself Deeper and Deeper.. We who have chosen to be here at this time in our Earths Major Upgrade and our own transformation, have to begin to step up to our life’s purpose. Believe me when I say, Working upon ourselves, learning to let go of judgement as we open our hearts in love  will find ourselves being challenged to stay balanced.

This World is very sick right now, and is in need of all the love vibrations we can send her. Including  all the evil held within  it..

Remember LOVE is ALL POWERFUL, and is ENERGY….  And we need to help change the Energy Frequencies by BE-ing LOVE  and REMEMBERING who we are..

We are all of us are like Diamonds, each hold many facets, some more polished while others are roughly cut, yet we are each connected, and we all of us hold LIGHT of LOVE within.. Whether we perceive that as Good or Bad, Negative or Positive. We are BOTH.. For we are ALL.. 

All of us have been going through our own various shifts of consciousness over the years, peeling away and working deeper upon ourselves, clearing away the debris we have held onto. At last many are letting go, as we prepare ourselves to raise our own vibrations out of our negative pits and past programming. 

Our health has taken a toll along our road of discovery as we often never realise Energy is held within our bodies and transfers and manifests into illness. We have all of us been going though our own transformation process’s as we clear out the blockages held within our bodies. 

The thing is, we don’t need to do anything other than be ourselves, as we learn to let go of lack, and let go of old programming that has held us in Fear in this present reality.  When we learn to embrace ourselves in LOVE, HONOURING our TRUE Selves as being Eternal BE-ings and create our present reality in the NOW of our Creation.. We then SEE who we really are..

We each hold the power to help create that which we wish for in the future, we do that by letting go of the past and creating our Dreams in the NOW by respecting and honouring ourselves in the present moment. Let your Dreams Begin… 

 I SEE YOU… I HONOUR YOU…. I LOVE YOU!….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Going from the OLD Self to the NEW Self..

 

Dear friends..  Here is a little exercise to practice.. 

 I Know so many people whom seem to be struggling, feeling their is no hope, as they live in their circumstances. Often they are waiting for something to come along to change or heal their lives. Yet  often  they are uncertain how to step out of their comfort zones to change their daily routines or negative thinking, to break the cycles they are experiencing. 

I have some projects that are taking my attention away from WordPress over the next few days.. I may well pop back and in and out of your own blogs.. But over the next few posts, I am posting a series of videos..  

I know of several of you who are wanting to make positive changes in your lives.. I hope this video and some others in this series of Diving Deeper into yourselves  will help you see that you are SOoooo much more than your bodies….

And when you begin to practice this way of BEing it really will bring in those Changes to your lives..

But We  All have to put in the ground work and effort...  

I hope you will find time to listen to this 5 minutes from Dr Joe Dispenza..

And I hope you find 10 minutes at the start of your day to put this into practice.. 

The Comments  will be closed on this post.  

Finding Ourselves by Detaching Ourselves.

We often may feel unsteady as we lose our Balance. But sometimes we need to fall over to pick ourselves up again. The World is needing to regain her balance to revolve and evolve back to where she needs to be..

While I have been detaching from many things recently, I have also been becoming acutely aware of other things, which one could say I stumbled upon, and yet I know I was guided to find them..

These things I may touch upon at a later date, they were things which were brought to my attention many years past, but I pushed them to one side as not happening within my life time. Yet here I am today seeing the Signs as they all fall into place as they grow closer, and the feelings of urgency rises within me to speak of them……….. But not today.  

The post written below I wrote all the way back in 2012. This journey is always moving us forward and back, like the tides controlled by the Moon. We ebb and flow in our emotional bodies rising and falling in our attempts at finding balance as we uncover the layers of deception we have been taught as truth. And as we peel back the lies we tell ourselves..

Awakening to who we really are is a continuous journey of self-discovery. And sometimes what we uncover we may find difficulty in accepting of both our world and ourselves..  But this journey is one of courage, and we who came to earth especially at this time, came knowing the challenges of our existence ,given we were all born with amnesia as we forgot our main mission.. 

My attention has been taken out into space recently As the Cosmic Energy is going to greatly affect our own.

Our Mission is one where we have to learn to detach from the programming of our material world to see our World from a different perspective. We are taught we are separate and we operate from a feeling of lack and Fear. I feel if we do not soon learn to detach from the greed of our material world of matter, our world will soon be teaching us lessons of detachment of her own. For I feel some major turbulence will be shaking us all free of the possessions we hold onto sometimes more dearly than the gift of life itself.. 

We are  all magnificent beings of light housed in a body of flesh and bone, and many of us have forgotten our potential.. The more we open our hearts the wider we reach out embracing others into our field of consciousness. We are finding Like attracts like, And as we do so, we find  also that there are those whose energy is not compatible with our own any more. So detaching and breaking the cords of such energies is now causing a reaction. So you may find yourself shutting doors, and starting anew, or you may find yourself withdrawing within as you no longer wish to have your energy drained by those whose energy no longer feels in tune with your own. We are all in this period of Change right now. 

We all have to have a little Chaos in the background before we put things in order. (Part of my painting in Acrylic,) each segment of our lives takes shape and form. And like brush strokes, each part needs our patience and attention.

Change comes in many forms.. We all of us are changing. And I too have found myself withdrawing deeper into needing space just to listen to the silence and beat of my own heart as I learn to take those deeper steps into aligning to create my Dreams… We all of us have them.. Yet how many really start to begin to put them into practice.. We continually put them off. Telling ourselves we will do it tomorrow. Well what if our tomorrows were numbered?…

This journey we are on is connecting many more of us, and as we each dig deeper into ourselves we each are finding our missing pieces. While I am finding many more of those pieces, it is sometimes difficult putting them in all  back in the right order. While it is making sense to me, to put into words that make sense to others, I  have not yet found the right words.

The poem at the end is the best I can come up with, and sometimes we have to solve riddles..  Written  in my journal in  2010. And the fun is searching for the clues often hidden in plain sight. 

~~~~~

We often read about enlightenment and yet do we really understand it? I have recently been reading a book by Eckhart Tolle, his experience was “a death of the sense of self”  as he viewed himself in terms of detachment.

I guess in a way that is what we have to do, detach from what is being put out there, i.e. especially as we are having our senses constantly bombarded with Negativity.. If any one watches the main stream News in any country, you will see how it replays over and over the same negative clips. After a while it ingrains into a person.. and we start to feel depressed and caught up within the traumas of others..As the Negative vibes penetrate our Energy bodies.. 

Some may think detachment means we do no care.. This couldn’t be Further from the Truth.. Those who know me, know I care a lot about our world and others.. But at the same time, I can do nothing sat in my armchair to help them.. And If I get caught up in the emotions of their Fears in Wars, Violence, and Hurting, and Anger.. Then all I do is add more Hurt to the Energy grids around our Earth, as I add my own Negative Fear.. This is why I avoid as much as possible the News and Newspapers. 

So If we focus on the NOW.. and send out LOVE to one another, Understanding that nothing is as it seems to be.. And pull in the Light of Positivity around us, we help create a more enlightened outlook. We have to understand that there are really only Two emotions.. We either act out of Love.. or Fear.. And like the Native American Indian and the story of the Wolf.. Its a matter of which one we Feed ! 

Wolf Totem my Pastel sketch

We should instead send out our thoughts of PEACE and HARMONY.. within our Prayers and thoughts.. This is the best way forward in helping our Earth through the Changes…The more of us who can gather together in the name of Light and Love, the more we help heal our world. 

Enlightenment starts with ourselves.. And while ever we hold onto attachment to this material world, we  allow ourselves to be manipulated, as we hold onto to money, status, and self image, the Material things.. As we have forgotten the “Old Ways” of living in Love, Harmony, Community and Balance with Nature and each other. 

So once we detach from that, we in a sense free ourselves as attachments dissolve. Which allows us no longer to worry over the things this World has created . Which in the main is immaterial, for what would you choose your bank balance or your family?? If you had to protect them.

We all of us Hold the Keys to Enlightenment..  Below is a poem I wrote a while ago.. and thought I would repost it here..

Enjoy.. And Become Enlightened! 

~~~

Keepers of the Keys

From out of the mists of aeons past

Walk the keeper of the Keys

Holding their secrets locked within time

When all was one and No locks did bind

The Keepers knew our thoughts and held them Free

For they would speak Telepathically.

We were those Keepers of long ago

But we lost our way-now like sheep we go

Herded into Pen’s of Self

Condemned with Greed and thoughts of Wealth

We travel blindly led by fear

Losing our Roots with the passing of years

Listen now and Listen well

For our Ancestors once more do tell

Its time to open up all our Minds

And discover again the Key and find-

Within yourself a wealth of knowledge

Facts you’ll never find within any collage

Follow not blindly what you are told

Seek and find and soon you’ll behold-

A world you thought was real with fact

Was distorted and tainted,

Look for the Cracks

The Truth is out there, you all have the Key,

Just open your minds-look and see

Stop bleating your woes, and following the herd

Be Daring, Be Brave, let your voice be heard

Start looking back, trace the flower of Life

Look into the Apple, cut it open with knife

Take a bite, reveal the Real SIN,

Research beyond History, delve and look in

The Keepers return they watch and wait

To see who will awaken and open the gate

We all hold the Key- It’s held in the Mind

Look Beyond what you see

Seek and ye shall find…

Stepping Back, to Step Forward.

 

Taking a step back often feels like you have somehow failed, but in not stepping back I would be failing myself.

It’s hard this internal knowing, when you have no words to describe what it is you understand. It’s like you have spent years gathering together the various bits and pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle in your mind. Each piece comes along at various points in your life and you have to juggle them about to see if they fit.

Then all at once you get one piece that slots into place and all the other pieces which you held suddenly now all fit into place. And yet you are still trying to make sense of what it is you are putting together, because we don’t have a picture box lid to understand just what kind of finished picture we are creating.

I felt the jumble of the pieces suddenly make sense, and in the next instant it felt like a huge wind had come along, and the pieces scattered in a thousand directions. I felt such a void of confusion, sadness and pain. 

Pain for a world that is caught up within its own journey, as we each try to make sense of the pieces we hold.

The pain of my heart transferred itself quickly into fatigue as I  found myself shutting down, and shutting out the world more and more as I slept, slipping into a void of depression, a feeling I know only too well. And were it not for family, friends, and my granddaughter’s wonderful presence, it’s a void I know I could easily slip into again if I were not mindful of the signs.  But I have been to the depths of despair many years ago now. And never again will I plunge back into that deep dark well.   

So, my smile is ever present as I keep positive in the face I present to the world. I took my mind into that tranquil zone, I painted, and I painted some more.  I allowed the painting to absorb and transform those feelings. For I also have come to understand that other forces are at work, as our Light codes and energies are adjusting as the Geomagnetic Storms now intensify their frequencies which in turn are affecting our moods and health and our DNA.  I painted out my heart as I faced my fears as I raced into the unknown.  I painted, as the snow fell outside, the snow transferred to the canvas, or was it water? Both cleansing, I will let you decide.

Finished Tiger Painting. More Information about Tiger to be found Here.

 

I know I am not the only one who has been going through the emotional washing machine. We have been tossed around, wrung out, to feel drained and left to feel crumpled and limp in the face of feeling helpless to that which we see occurring around our world and our neighbourhoods.  Wondering where it is all leading, and for those of us like myself, we wonder if our energies will  ever make a difference.

Stepping back, pausing and taking that deep breath away from the constant bombardment of negative news allows us to view life from a different perspective. 

Those who read my posts regular, know I am a great believer in ‘Signs’ my recent posts were trying to make sense of that ‘Knowing’ some of us feel. So, it was no surprise that over this period of time I had a ‘Sign’ come and visit me not once but three times in as many weeks. As a Sparrow Hawk which is a rare sight at the best of times, landed not once, but three separate times into my garden as she hunted the sparrows I feed. She has been coming on an off since January when I first took a photo of her or him. But since I have been absent from WP she landed three more times in full view in my garden.  

Sparrow Hawk, Her first visit in January

Her presence came to remind me to lift my own wings and concentrate upon raising my own higher vibrations. So, I have been meditating more. She taught me to lift myself higher, and look from another perspective, to that which I had allowed myself to wallow in… the pain of others and other people’s stories. Showing me while we are all of us connected, I need not take on their pain.  

For each of us agreed what roles to play, be it a Hawk a predator or a Sparrow its victim. She came to show me I should not get hung up on the details of life, but trust to the currents to which way the wind catches my wings.  I saw how the Sparrows cleverly avoided her clutches, as they flew into the thick branches of my shrubs and how all the sparrows along with blackbird cried out their warnings of her arrival.  I saw how unity of species played a part in their survival and now how they have altered their feeding habits in mindfulness of the hawks presence. I see how some keep guard and watch, while others feed. I also observed how some are selfish and fight fiercely to possess the feeder not giving an inch. Nature is a constant reminder of our fight for survival. And when the snow came, we helped nature along. 

Snow in my Garden March 18th 2018 Last Sunday

The Hawk has a wider view of the world than ourselves, and reminds me to broaden my own perspective and to trust and let go to the Winds of Change.  Being Empathic I feel at times raw emotions as their currents ebb and flow through humanity, I also feel the cosmic energies that pulsate which are coming to open up our hearts.

I think this is my longest ever absence since I started blogging in 2007. I started out wanting to make a difference as my words rippled out, and during my recent void I wondered what possible difference I could make.  And yet by reading the many comments you have all left me over time. I see how my poems have touched you and how connected we all are in this our Earth Journey.  

I could write thousands of words and never come to express that which I have come to understand of our human self and our existence on planet Earth. Nor could I ever explain what I have learnt through the years of my Spiritual involvement via the communications I have been privileged to part of and witness. 

Those of you who are upon their own Soul Journey, know of what I speak, others perhaps have yet to soar to find their own flight paths, for we are all of us at our various levels of evolution as we fly in our ever-expanding circles as we search and explore our own destinies, and make sense of who we are and why we are here.  

At the time of writing this I have no idea how long I shall be flying, it may be a matter of days, or another few weeks. And I thank all of you for your patience, especially those comments still in moderation waiting to be answered. Thank you those who have sent me your beautiful emails. I will be answering all of them over time.  

All of you are loved and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love you share and show me here, words never seem enough in appreciation. But you are all greatly loved and I feel Blessed for having you all in my world.   

Sometimes we may not make sense of the way we view events of our world. But some events acts as triggers, that change the perspective of others. The Hawk came to show me there are no victims. For we all came to play our parts. 

I did tune in yesterday and saw how 17 lives lost on the 14^th February were not lost in vain. If a country with a young generation of all creeds and races can come together in Unity to stand up and voice their views.

This world is on track.

I see Unity Consciousness working right there in the eyes and hearts of the next generation that will have to stand strong and firm in their beliefs, as their courage comes together to create the kind of world they wish to live in.  And the ‘Knowing’ I see within my heart will be worth the sacrifice of those who agreed their particular parts so that Humanity may evolve through Love. 

Hawks are masters of flying, they enjoy the landscape, I need to soar a while longer as I adjust my energies as I ‘Paint Pictures’, as I accept ‘What will be will be’. (Que Sera, Sera).

In Love and Light 

Knowing Empathy.

 

https://www.peacedirect.org

I have sat down many times this past couple of weeks with pen poised over blank pages in my journal. My head full of so many things that are crying to be heard, yet they will not tumble out onto the page.

My heart has broken, with every mother’s cry, my tears have risen at the slightest cause. So, I put down my pen, and pick up my brushes and I paint.  

I paint into the eyes of another whose own story of their kind have also known the burden of humans who seek glory in their power of weapons.  

My bones have become heavy, my heart heavier still, and a tiredness sweeps over me like a wave that saps the energy from me that I have found myself just wanting to sleep, and shut down the replay of the internal chatter and visions that screams to be let out.

I have tried shutting out the world, and lost. Because the world is within me, and I am within the world, we are one.

At times I can detach, step back, but then I have to look in as the observer, and what I observe is the reality portrayed through a key hole of a window through the lens of those whose view is wanting us to feel as I have been feeling, helpless, and bereft.  

But we are not helpless, we are strong, but we have to be prepared for change. I have said many times being empathic is not an easy journey. It can wear you down, drain you, and drag you into the depths of despair if you allow it to grab hold of you.  You have to be strong and realise not all moods are your own. And you have to understand how our energy is being affected in our addictive behaviours we may not think we are subjected to. But we are all of us being played in this game of life.

So I will keep painting a while longer as I leave you with these words I wrote some time ago

Knowing!

Here is the thing about internal knowing

It’s difficult to explain in words that are glowing

For many people step away, thinking you quite queer

When they do not understand, and live in fear.

~~

Our internal dialogue will banter to and fro

Revealing the truth, is something you just know

No words can describe the feelings deep inside

When you get this knowing, which inside resides

~~

We can search out all the knowledge written down in books

But a few of us find our answers, until inside ourselves we look

Once we’ve found the key, that opens up our hearts

That’s when our Knowing, and knowledge begins to start

~~

Trusting in our instincts each have long forgot

Brings that instant knowing, as we focus on the plot

You then begin to see the world through a different set of eyes

As you realise this world is made up of many lies

~~

The deeper that you focus, you uncover many layers

As you peel away your skins, ignoring all the stares

You begin to understand there’s more than man-made laws

And as the Knowing grows, so you open up more doors

~~

The labyrinth of life, well hidden in the maze

Stands right before you, hidden from your gaze

Make-believe becomes real, while reality is but a dream

While everything you touch has holographic seams

~~

The pathway to knowing, is letting go of what you know

Because when you open your heart, love begins to flow

Love is the key, it may turn you inside out

Universal laws, you will see no one can flout

~~

You then begin to see, we reap what we have sown

When you access ‘The Knowing’ your heart begins to grow

Knowing what I do, I often feel quite sad

That most have lost their knowing, and no, I’m not quite Mad!

See you all sometime soon. And I hope you will be patient as I may take time to moderate comments. Thank you.

What I have been painting will be shared next time around..

Much Love and Blessings.

Can a Leopard Change its spots? Can we change our ways?

Leopard half finished

How many of us put ourselves down, and tell ourselves we are not good enough, as we measure ourselves against others achievements.  Especially if we have been brought up lacking in self-worth.

I know many times I have measured myself, against others whom I feel are gifted and blessed with their specific talents.

But at the same time, I  grew up also with the words of my father ringing in my ears, as he would tell me when I said I couldn’t do something, that there was no such word as can’t. And he was right, for if we do not try, we will never know what we can accomplish.

I grew achieving many things I never thought I would. And as I walked my walk, I also understood something else. That no one is better or beneath  us, for we are all of us Human Beings, who are here to learn and grow via our merits or our mistakes.  Some of my greatest achievements, have been through the errors I have made, because they have taught me so much more about the skills of life. 

I have learnt to knit, sew, dress make, grow vegetables, I have, papered, painted and decorated our home. I have laid lino- linoleum in our bathroom and learnt to crochet.  I learnt how to use a computer, often through trial and error.    And I learnt as I grew as an adult that we are all of us equal.   For we each of us have our own unique gifts.

Drawing was my first love, and yet I still measure my capabilities against others whom in my eyes are far more gifted than I. As I never had any kind of art training. I just paint what  I feel. 

 Many of us Self sabotage ourselves at the first hurdle. As we give up, feeling we are not good enough.  We either lack confidence, or are simply insecure and afraid of striding out in a new direction.  We  are all special and need to accept the gifts we have, be it a listening ear, or a musical voice, or a bright smile and a bubbly personality. Each of us are special and unique.  

 Leopard came to remind me and teach me. She came to show me confidence and perseverance, as I had always put off drawing a Leopard because of its spots.. Fearing I would not do it justice, and fearing it would be a failure. And was why when I  started to paint it, I put off painting the spots on its head straight away. This was the Image I was working from, as I looked through one of my wildlife photography books from my book shelf. As you can see it’s not that clear, and the spots are hard to define. As this Sunset photo from Untamed  by Steve Bloom shows .

Leopard came to remind me that I need to trust in the skills I have, and to accept my spots, my imperfections. She came to show me through your own appreciation of my art, that I need to appreciate my own talents more, and to stop putting myself down.  And she comes to remind me, and perhaps you also, as you find yourself reading this, that it is never to late to apply yourself as you follow your dreams.

Leopard also came to remind me that I have also been putting off another project that I set the intention this year to start. And that was to put some of my poetry together in the hopes of publishing it. I made that start, then I guess I self-sabotaged it, and deleted much of what I had written to accompany my poetry.

Nearly finished. I had more detail on the branch to do. As I concentrated on adding details to the branch. The pathway of Life.

I guess its time I stepped out along that branch of life, and put my faith in the steps I need now to follow to bring that particular gift into the Light.

Thank you All, for being part of my journey as I rediscover and apply myself in unfamiliar territory.

 And as the Buzzard whom I saw the other week, In the post ‘Look up and Soar’ spoke to me, saying ““( …… It is time to soar above your perceived limitations. Are you currently undergoing an internal death and rebirth cycle? Are you ready to assert your actions from your ideas?……)

Leopard came to make me sure I heard and tell me to lay down my fears. And yes I am ready. 

I hope as you walk through your life, you can also lay down your fears and boldly put one foot in front of the other, as you focus your Intent on your Dreams!

Are YOU Ready? 

The Finished Leopard
More details were added to the branch, adding moss, and new life out of dead wood.

Love and Blessings
