Take a deep breathe & blow it all out...

Now a little slower...do it again. 

Breath in 2...3...4...

Feel the air fill your lungs,

Breath out 2...3...4.. 

Feel your soul as you ground and connect to the earth.

Breath 2...3...4...

Allow your Breath to carry away what's not needed today.

Breath 2...3...4...

Let your minds eye open into veiw

a special tree...the one just for you 🌲

Welcome to...

The Realm of Elemental Enchantment 

The sun is high in the sky on this very warm summers day  You find yourself sitting comfortably in the shade with your back against your tree...breathe deeply and know that you are one.

Your roots are deep and your branches reach far and wide. Spread out in every direction under and above the ground.

The wisdom within is where the answers you seek are to be found.

Breathe.......

The spiritual message...

Egret guides you thru uncertainty with greater ease; during this time you may feel alone,  but you are not. 🤗

Summers Edge

"Summers Edge"  original acyrlic

(Sold)

What's a waterqueen to do...?

She thought she knew the plan...

turned out different and again blue.

Set in motion with so much emotion that...She lost her zen somewhere in the ocean.

Thyme lost, expectation stops...ahh what is the personal cost?

Now scratchin her head and wondering out loud...

Is it my imagination? Thoughts drifting along in the clouds.

Signs of hope and rays of light...

Summer edge is a welcoming sight.

Red, Orange, yellow, green and every shade in-between. Blue and Indigo...let the colors flow naturally blossom and grow.

In the garden of veg, fruit and flower...

grateful sunny rain showers.

What is the lesson? What did you learn???

That it ain't easy being you or me...and everything/everyone gets a chance...a turn.

A spin of the wheel...

Put your hands together (or in some dirt) and say... thank you for today.

How's your summer season starting?

Have a ahha kinda day 😎

 

Golden Rule

5 Hierophant 🦬

Morals, together we teach and guide.

Order, Expectation, Eduduation, Belief system, Counsel, Society, Teachers, School/Church, Traditions, Conformity, Hypocrisy, Dogma and consequence.

"Do unto others as you would have done to you"    The golden rule🗝

The sacred moments of ceremony that have familiar and traditional foundations. 

What you learn is what you teach. You're always doing both. 

Please use a little common sense.  Doing the "right thing" is a choice.

What is the right thing to do?  

Let your Conscious be your guide. 

Do you need some extra help? 

We all do sometimes. 

Except and give loving wise counsel and support to yourself and others.

Formal support, direction and counsel can be found with cooperative  community. 

Honor the truth in your heart...

The moral lesson;

Doesn't it just make sense to be decent and kind to each other?

We all breath the same air and live on the same planet...how we treat ourselves and each other matters 💞

Lunar Lessons

Original acyrlic 8x10

 "Lunar Lessons"

Hunting for clarity within the clouds...

whats felt is said out loud.

What isn't wrong isn't right...

it can be hard letting go without a fight.

No longer black or white...

Shades of gray twinkling moonlight.

Pen and prose up at night...

magically timed insights. 

Believe in the power, the magic and beauty...

maybe that weed? Is really a flower. 

Worry not shooting star...

shine bright be who you are.

One step here; two steps there...

it matters because you care.

Each star shining bright...

together we light up the night.

Done balancing karmic debts...

move forward with no regrets. 

Honest and true...new shades of you!

Deeply connected to all that's more...

It's time to journey through the next door. 

Lunar Lessons and shadowscape...

Worry not your doing great!

Be blessed in everyway...

Have a ahha kinda day 😎

Missing You

Tha grieving process does not fall into place neatly and has no sense of time.

I did not know. I did not understand.

The reason we had to say goodbye...

The Grieving Process 

SHOCK:

initial paralysis at hearing bad news

A violent blow; a jolt to the mind or emotions; trauma associated with injury

DENIAL:

trying to avoid the inevitable; an unwillingness to believe or acknowledge

ANGER:

Outpouring of bottled up emotion

BARGAINING:

seeking in vain for a escape; to compromise or negotiate 

DEPRESSION:

final realization of loss; despondency 

ACCEPTANCE:

finding a way forward 

There's a reason for every season. 

Nothing is more important than the people in your life.

Everyone of us are wanted, needed and unique. 

Always treat people the way you wish them to treat you (golden rule).

Mean people are usually sad; sad people are usually afraid, so be gentle and try to understand. 

People are people regardless of who, what and where they are in life.

Everyone wants to be heard and accepted for the individual that they are.

A positive outlook will always produce the better result. 

Slow down, take in a breath of hope and breath out the tension. 

The message I hope we share is that...

We all need to care about each other❣

Joey...I love you more than words💞

Thinking of you on add a candle day
