When we feel sorry for ourselves, we are really throwing back all of the blessings that are bestowed upon us each day. The Sun and its warmth, the day and night, and twinkling stars. Our friends and family and even having good work to do are blessings that keep us going.
It is time to be grateful.
Namaste.
I was reminded the other day when I was feeling alone, that Wolf always walks with me. Sometimes, we need a gentle reminder of all the things that are around us. We have tools and gifts that we do not use. We can be more than we are because of everything around us.

Someone asked me the other day what it is that I love. I paused. I love so many things. So, I started to rattle off all the things that I love.
And, I can go on.
What do you love?
Namaste.

The March equinox happens at the same moment across the world but is converted to local time. In 2015, it falls on March 20 at 6:45 P.M. EDT, 5:45 P.M. CDT, 4:45 P.M. MDT, and 3:45 P.M. PDT, for example.
- Meteorologically speaking, however, in the Northern Hemisphere the official spring season always begins on March 1 and continues through May 31. Summer begins on June 1; autumn, September 1; and winter, December 1. - from http://www.almanac.com/content/first-day-spring-vernal-equinox
This spring, choose to do something in Nature.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For flowers that bloom about our feet,
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet,
For song of bird, and hum of bee,
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
For blue of stream and blue of sky,
For pleasant shade of branches high,
For fragrant air and cooling breeze,
For beauty of the blooming trees,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

I see how people are so unaccepting and judgemental of all people that are different than they are. This view creates such strife! It becomes bullying, racism, or what ever you want to call the problem with differences.
This poster makes me smile!
Perhaps we need to post it all over the place.

One of my friends commented the other day that North Americans have become a bunch of WHINERS. His view was if life is tough, get over it! Others will always have it tougher.
The tough situation – well, it may be good old karma paying you a visit. Or, you may be in the wrong place at the right time to put you in a scary situation.
The whining – WHY ME????
The Truth – because you have been living in your life unconsciously and selfishly. It is not a punishment – it is the Universe saying, “Okay, now I can keep you busy!”

I was listening to a David Wolfe interview. For those of you that do not know about David, check out his website at http://www.davidwolfe.com/. He is considered a guru of juicing, smoothies, and super foods. What struck me in the interview was his view of goal making.
He talked about setting general, reachable goals such as changing jobs by August, 2015. He then talked about setting audacious goals – goals that seem impossible to attain. His example was setting a goal several years ago that was to be the host of a major TV show and not owning a TV. Funnily enough, he is now in that position.
The poster in this blog makes me think of his view of goal setting. By setting big, audacious goals, each person starts the Universe in a conspiring set of actions to get to the point of the goal. This makes you… live each moment to the fullest. The Archangels applaud this way of thinking because you open yourself up to new experiences. You take on the energy of your Ancestors who have moved from Asia or from Europe to North America. It is the energy of courage and expansion.
As you expand, Abundance shows up in your life, love appears, and life becomes peaceful.

My soul recognizes the truth in this quote. Life is not a blame-game, although some people make it so. Blame is a control mechanism. Ignore it.
Live life and be happy.

When I saw this poster, I laughed! The logic is so simple and so right.
We are all we need!
However, many of us do not follow the logic.
We worry and we look for assurance.
We think about all we do wrong.
We feel like we are alone in our misery.
The Angels just smile their love.
They think humans are perfect.

Right now, the Angels tell us it is so easy to get out of balance. All one needs to do is to think about life in a negative way. Then the imagination takes over and life is unkind, one feels unloved, and things go out of perspective. One is now out of balance.
The Angels say that if you keep moving, and keep going forward, you cannot get bogged down by past stuff because your mind is actively engaging all that is new. When you stop is when your mind starts to cultivate the past for hurts, abuses, regrets, recriminations, and every wrong.
So get a bike or get walking or running or swimming, and, keep moving!

Have you noticed how cranky many people seem to be in the last several weeks? What is up with that attitude? In many cases, the better looking the person, the ruder and more complaining they are.
Some of the mystics are talking about the next several months being very chaotic, with everything from depression, relationships ending, and earthquakes and volcanoes. The physical activities in the Earth show a “shake-up” is required. It is time to make some big changes.
For humans, it is time to get compassion and niceness back on. In the “every man for himself” days, you could be rude and obnoxious and still get things done. That is changing.
The Angels say that you can help with world healing by being mindful, being filled with love and compassion, and letting a sunny disposition be your Nature.
Namaste.
As the Earth opens up to spring in the Northern Hemisphere, Mother Nature brings forward messages about rehabilitating the Earth. If rehabilitating the Earth speaks to you, then think green. Think about changing your lawn into a permanent garden by growing herbs. Welcome in the Fairies and other Elementals. Work with the changing Earth.
Mother Earth and Mother Nature are two forces that keep us humans alive. More and more, we need to work with the idea of ONENESS where we all are sharing. What a great opportunity to be in service to to an energy bigger than we are.
Namaste.
As we walk through the chaos that March 2015 brings, remember to hold on to those things that bring you joy. This is the time to remember that Creator (God, Allah, The One) is always available to speak with in prayer. We all need to find within us something that speaks of love. As we become more mindful, we know that the Mother Earth, filled with land and ocean is what holds us all together, and that is good.
We know that the animals carry magic with them that they can share with us to make us more aware and more mindful. That is also good. Those animals that we have with us as pets bring us love.

I found a great article from the Lion’s Roar Staff, on Buddhism called “ Buddhism A-Z: 10 Buddhist books everyone should have”.
It is worth reading, and therefore, I am sharing this today.
When it is time to make a change in our lives, we often do not know how to change, or where the change should take us. I share this because within these books is a wonderful starting point to look at where you want to go.
Namaste
As we move in to March, remember that there are many types of blessings. Actions that seem harsh may turn out to be exactly what you need.
The blessing may be:
-missing an accident
-a bird song
-someone offering you home made cookies that they brought to the office
-a smile and a pat on the back.
The angels tell us that often, we are so busy in our heads and looking at how we can show how smart we are that we forget to look for the blessings.
Namaste
