The answer is simple…

The answer is simple…

Ask the questions you truly want the answers to. Say the words you truly feel. It always comes back to this; ask and you shall receive.

When asked whom do you want for president? We said not Trump. We honestly could not whole heartedly back either candidate. So instead we arose against Trump, and voted for the lesser of two evils. In the hope, that this would soften the damage done, not just to our country, but to our worlds people and our planet. We have chosen to stand and fight, instead of joining together in peace. So fight was our choice, and the universe obliged.

Eight years ago I watched grown men cry openly in relief and gratitude on this day following the election of President Obama. Today we again have tears, though this time in questioning how someone so filled with anger, hatred, and a complete disregard of humanity; could become the leader of this country. The mind reels at what is to come.

Now is the time to remember our words, our thoughts, and our actions. In the knowing that our thoughts and words create; also knowing that the universe does not understand no (fill in the blank) or not (fill in the blank). The universe gives what we ask for, in turn we must ask for what we want, and refrain from asking for what we do not want. Such as: We want a country where all people feel equal and valued. We want to know that our rights as beings of this planet are being honored and upheld. We must ask for and expect that every person on this planet knows where their home is and that this home is not only safe and of their choosing, it has warmth, food, water, and comfort.

Ask the questions you truly want answered;   What would it take for there to be peace on this planet?    What are the infinite possibilities that this could be better than anything we could ever plan or imagine for every being on this planet?   What contribution can I be in the coming years to creating a world I would like to live in?    What is right about this we’re not getting?   What contribution can this be to creating a thriving living earth? How does it get better than this?

Ask and you shall receive…

Today is my Birthday

Good Morning,

Today is my Birthday, and I have been blessed with my friends and family sending me messages all morning. Not to mention Google wished me a Happy Birthday, did you know google did that? Yep, there is an image of cakes and candles and when I put my cursor over it, it says Happy Birthday Heather.

I of course got in from working at four am, so while I was sleeping my notifications have been going off in the background. While the bings and rings and faerie chimes are sounding around me, I was dreaming.

The dream that I awoke from went like this; I was standing on a very high balcony, talking to someone * I am not sure who*. I was encouraging this person to throw this eagle out into the clouds. As if it been hurt but had now been healed, and needed to learn to fly again. All you could see of the eagle was his head. This didn’t seem to be an issue as there was another eagle floating nearby with just a head. I was actually thinking it was just my eyes and the color of the clouds that gave the illusion that I was not seeing their wings. So I have this person throw the eagle out into the clouds. The eagle immediately comes right back. I instruct him to do it again, and this time the eagle flies all around, soaring out into the horizon and back, swooping down near us as we watch with joy. We can see the wings now. Suddenly the eagle swoops into the balcony and creates an Angel with the clouds, and the eagle becomes an angel and swoops into the balcony leaving a very large image of an Angel smiling at me. And I know in this moment this is a blessing for me.

I woke up and made my way to the coffee pot, and realized the Angels along with my friends and family had wished me a Happy Birthday!

Thank you all of you, I am grateful every day for each of you!

Love, Heather

Thank you for the hope!

I have spent the day writing today, from blogs to memories, with bits of weekend tidy ups thrown in for good measure. With a reluctance that is typical of Sunday, I dressed knowing I had to pick up a few things at the store. It is not unusual that the conversation that me and myself have goes something like this.

“I can just go in my jammies.” ” No you know that if you do you will run into someone you know, or worse than that you see someone you would like to know.” “But I do not want to get dressed, do I have to?” ‘Yes, you don’t want to be known as the lady in her jammies.” “Fine but I am not doing my hair.” “Have you seen your hair? No one out in the world will be convinced you actually brushed your hair today if you go out looking like that.” “Fine I will do my hair. There are you happy now?” “Yes, you look store worthy now. “ “Whatever!”

The store was filled with happy chattering people, though I only needed a few things, lemons, tomatoes, coffee; the visit took over a half hour. I got the lemons and tomatoes after chatting with the produce guy, and headed for the coffee aisle. Standing there immersed in the selection and eventual disappointment that they did not have my coffee in whole beans, I murmured under my breath really? Only to turn slightly to my right and then up, and there he was the reason I had done my hair and not been dressed in my baggy jammies. He looks at me and says “I never know which one to choose?”

Me, choose me! *sigh* Thank you very pretty extremely tall man for the hope, you will be the reason I dress and do my hair the next few Sundays.

Grateful for everyday miracles!

How Blessed are you? Do you see the miracles all around you in everyday life? I forget somedays how truly lucky I am.

Today I slept in, and I have had coffee, rewashed a load of laundry and put another load in, I have stripped the bed, and emptied the dish washer, and put the dirty dishes in, and I have played solitaire in between all while listening to the end of a book. This is what I usually do Sunday morning, nothing out of the ordinary. Until; I was standing in the bathroom, starring off at a painting hanging on my wall.

I should also mention that, today is a very sunny day, making my bedroom very bright. That I have many crystals of various shapes and sizes hanging from my window for the rainbow effect. The painting is of a couple sitting in a valley watching the night sky, full moon and all.

So while I am thoughtlessly starring of I see the rainbows moving across the wall and onto the painting. Though I start to notice when they get to the place where there is land they disappear. So I am literally watching a simulation of the aurora borealis play out over my painting. This continues for a while and I am in awe.

I went to get my camera to show you, plus keep a copy of this amazing picture. Though every time I tried to capture it, I was either too far away to see it in the picture, or too close in the light for it to show up. So you have to take my word for it. It was gorgeous and amazing and I feel incredibly blessed that I am the only one to seen it. Grateful for everyday miracles!

OMG!!! How Did I Get So Lucky???

I really had no idea, that having cake with my kids would be so enlightening… We have done this many times over the last year… I love going out for dessert; last night was no exception, and would fill my heart with joyful blessings…

Have you ever had that moment of Oh My God!!! What was it I did that brought me to this completely Amazing and Joyful moment??? Yesterday I received several Amazing gifts, each taking so much thought and time to create…

My son went on a journey of his own, on his own… I know how hard this is, as I did it many years ago and I was really freaked out, to travel across the country by myself for something I wanted, for myself… It can be so difficult to seize something for oneself whilst living in a world that values giving more than receiving and we are considered selfish when we act in our own benefit… Though when you consider if you give and there is no one to receive, the circle is broken; both pieces are of equal value and necessary for our circle of life to continue…

The changes that come from this type of adventure are rarely seen on the surface and take time to really see the impact they have on us… I took the journey that began my empowerment over twelve years ago, I went to a festival where I knew no one, I camped for a week and I met people, it was the most amazing experience… This journey would lead to my willingness to move my life to another country where I did not know anyone, and though it took time I met people there and I forged friendships that I treasure to this day… I no longer feel odd going to the movies or dinner by myself, if there is not someone to accompany me I go on my own in fact it is not uncommon that I will choose to be on my own over being in a crowd, I truly find peace with me… I love my friends and I love to visit there is no doubt I can chat and visit for days; and I love being with me…

I am truly proud of my son and the gift he gave himself; it is a gift to each of us…

I received another gift yesterday from my daughter, who has recently returned from her adventure in travel… This amazing girl gifted herself a three and a half month journey to sixteen countries, by way of ship and school… While in these countries she had pictures taken of her with different words that would become my Christmas gift… The words read “Thank – You – For – Giving – Me –  The – World – Heart – I – love – You – Mom”… *I am still crying in joy and gratitude*… I know this feeling of adventure as well, it’s scary putting yourself in a situation where you do not know anyone, to go into foreign countries and not know what to expect, and it is entirely up to you to create your experience… Though you know you will be coming home in a window of time, you are still in that moment creating who you will be upon your arrival… It matters not how long the journey it matters only that you are willing to make the first step and then the next and the next and so on…

The next gift and certainly not the last or least, is the beautiful young man that is my daughters love… This man took one of the greatest steps anyone can take… He let it be ok that he was on his own, whilst his love traveled the world… His adventure though close to his front door may have been the scariest, as there is no knowing what will happen when your beloved is away… Will they change so much as to not know them upon their return??? Will your love bond deeper or fall away… It is not easy to carry on when your heart is an ocean away… He held true to who he is and he got through school work, hanging out with friends, and we got to know each other better as well… He created a space that would allow him to grow, whilst giving her wings… It takes great courage for this; I am truly grateful for him and the love he shares with my daughter…

I am proud of both of them for being and creating themselves and their relationship, for each other and an expansive future together…

I wish for everyone that feeling of empowerment that comes from choosing an adventure for you, and you alone… Yes I know it is scary, and Yes I know it takes guts, and Yes I know it is far easier to beg your besty to come along… Looking beyond your friends and family, and truly choosing what brings you joy, and then choosing it with purpose; is a feeling of empowerment that cannot be explained it must be experienced… You are the most important being in your life, without you there is no one and nothing, as you are the one experiencing what you experience… You are not worthless, replaceable, or expendable… You are here with purpose, and that purpose is being you, you are a piece of the puzzle that is life, you are needed and you are loved…

The people at the table last night were not the people that sat there last year, they had each made a journey into who they are, and will become… How Does It Get Even Better Than That??? How Did I get So Lucky???

New Blog Soon!!!

I will be returning here shortly… Watch for me 🙂

The Enchanted Land of Faerie

Here in the enchanted land of Faerie just past the veil… The mysteries of life magically embrace you… Blossoming with joy that you have come to visit… While the sun shines down from the heavens, the flowers brightly reach up to greet you… In the gentle breeze you can hear the trees whispering words of welcome… They like me are glad to see you, grateful for the gift you are in each moment… You are loved…

Good Morning!

I am excited to share my projects with you. Currently I am working on a fantasy novel for young adults. The main character is Thistle; she is a very adventurous faerie about to explore the human realm. Her best friend is also her cousin Thorn; a hot young male faerie, that has all the girls chasing after him. They join up with Jake; a human boy who shows them the ropes here in our realm. They all will be attending Pacific Dogwood Academy.
