There is a purpose

2012-01-24T12:15:00.000-08:00

It has been awhile since I have been here writing away. There are many good reasons for this, with the main one being I have been busy with life. Life has a way of reminding us there is a purpose to everything. Even the most uncomfortable experiences serve a purpose. You know the ones I am talking about. Those experiences that you walk away feeling ragged, bruised, and confused from the emotional impact. Yet, they are here for a purpose and you may not find out the purpose for a very long time if ever.

To bring in the complete message today it is necessary for me to give a little personal background. I chose to grow up in a very dysfunctional home that did nothing to build nor support self-esteem. For that matter most of it was all about undermining life force. O.K. no feeling sorry for me here. We all choose our lives for the experiences and lessons that run through them. If we chose a life that did not support us there is a purpose to that.

On with the background. I spent many years off and on in a small town in which my family owned a business. Or I should say my step-father and his family owned a business. Which made us acceptable even if there was talking behind the hands by the people living there. When my mother and step-father divorced for the second time (yes, more fuel for the gossip that feeds areas such as these) my mother packed up my brother, sister and me moving us to another state where I stayed for the next four years.

I went back to this small town my senior year of high school. This was not an easy situation due to me being a single girl under the age of 18 living on her own who appeared to be somewhat hippy-ish. Not to mention the circumstances I had come from earlier.  This situation served to create a lot of talk and very little acceptability. I did have friends and we did hang out and enjoy the area which was absolutely beautiful. Large mountains surrounded the town with a huge man-made lake that drew in tourist by the droves in the summer. Now, that is enough personal history to allow me to move forward with this little bit of information on purpose.

About seven years ago a friend of mine from that time period located me on classmates then contacted me. We enjoyed nice conversations via e-mail and caught up with each other's lives. During this time my step-daughters turned 21 and one of them wanted to go to Las Vegas shortly after her birthday. During one of my e-mails I mentioned that my daughter, a friend of mine and I were going to Vegas. My friend stated that he would be there at the same time and we decided to get together and catch up in person.

To make a long story short, for me it was not a pleasant experience. I walked away wondering why in the world this occurred and why this person even wanted to see me. I received an e-mail from my friend shortly after I returned home and he mentioned what a good time he had during our get together. Needless to say I didn't agree and told him so.

We did not communicate after this adventure in life until one day last week. I received an e-mail from my friend apologizing for his behavior and telling me that I had been a catalyst for his life change.   I was touched that he would send me this information. In his e-mail he wrote and recognized what I had done for him but, he did not see nor understand what he had done for me.

As friends, family members and acquaintances we play many parts in the healing and growth of each others lives. No, the meeting was not fun for me. I had walked away mentally perplexed licking my emotional wounds yet, it contained an action that not only affected me at that time, it affected the energy that had been living with me from my childhood up to this point. Through our meeting I was able to voice and set a boundary. I did not take on and see myself through the judgments of another. I claimed who I was. This had the power to heal and negate what had followed me through life for a very long time.

You see, even when you do not understand fully and it may feel extremely uncomfortable each event brings us a gift. The gift is only seen as you are willing to unwrap the many layers around it. Each of us in our own way served the purpose of bettering the others life. What a gift! It was a blessing to receive the e-mail acknowledging the part I played in his life. I am honored to be a part of the life he has chose and is now creating.

Our lessons do not need to or have to be difficult yet, at times to catch our attention they seem to be just that......difficult and painful.  As we are willing to stop and look deeper we can see the more that is contained in the experience. Allowing ourselves to see the gift and hold it to us, bringing us the information of the perfection of life we and all others are. Thanks my friend for the experience. Here is to long harmonious and love filled lives for both of us and anyone else that chooses to step in and claim that great energy.

For Margie

2011-11-17T09:28:00.000-08:00

Today I received an e-mail from a very dear friend of mine. The e-mail was to share the information of the loss of her beloved grandson who died in a car accident early this month. The words she wrote touched me at the deepest levels. Through her grief she sent the message out to those that she knew to remember the importance of family and friends. Margie, I am sorry for you and your families loss.

Many people become distracted by the outside influences of worn out messages that their happiness, success and self-worth depend on what they do and what they have. Many times in the pursuit of this so called "success" people shut down to what is truly important. In the striving to gain the next step in the career, the next material item, or the next recognition brings with it the setting aside for later the most important factor of life. That factor is all of those the person loves.

Many times people tell themselves that when they reach that all important next step or thing they'll have the time then to spend with the people they have set aside. That next step or thing only leads to the next step and the next material item. When the person stops and listens for one moment to their heart they will hear the messages that have lived there all along. The first message is, you cannot regain the moments lost with a person. Even with all that we are aware of there is no going back for a do over with the person or people that were set aside. With this messages comes another message. You may not have the opportunity for a next moment with a person. One moment they may be there and the next moment they may be gone forever from this physical world.

We have stepped into a new time. A time when many are remembering the importance of mankind's ability to love and connect at the heart level. To reach out from one to another and speak the words and show the actions of loving beyond the material world. Looking past any and all items the person may or may not have, seeing the beauty of the person. In many cases opening the doorways for others to see the beauty and truth that has always been who they are.

Today and everyday take the time to share your life with those you love. Open your hearts to the fullest allowing each person you know and those that you do not know at this time to feel the love you have for them. It only takes a minute to share a smile, a hug, a compliment, compassion, or words of support and love.

The message is sent

2011-09-22T08:40:00.000-07:00

While in a discussion with a friend, she told me she saw me talking with groups of people in prisons. This same information came to me years ago and felt as if would be something I would do even though it had not manifested in the physical yet.

As she finished her statement I began to speak. The words that I spoke brought information that even as we stood talking in the room the messages were already being sent. That as the words formed, the energy was in force and moving through the bars of the prison cells or the prisons created by the mind reaching in and touching the people it was meant to touch. In that very moment the message was received and a life was transformed. I did not have to be present to witness, only to be aware and know what it was I had chosen to send.

As the words continued to flow through me bringing the information, visions moved in my mind showing an image of a woman with dark hair laying on the bed in her cell. I saw the words enter her space of awareness and the transformation as the energetic connection was made. Her eyes had been dull and blank....hopeless. As the energy touched her they sparked coming alive. I saw her walk out of the prison filled with a passion to live.

What is a prayer but a thought filled with the energy of love sent out to be carried through the currents of life. It is the same with all of the words and thoughts that we have. This is true for everyone. We are always tranmitting energetic messages. We can singularly or in groups send messages of love, support, hope, compassion, understanding, forgiveness and on and on and on changing our world.

The woman that I was having the conversation (DJ) with facilitates a wonderful class called Connection in Motion. A movement of sacred energy. I love participating in this class and other events such as this. I know that the energy of love that is created in that space goes out and touches our worlds.

So, my friends lets create a new world, the true world with thoughts and actions of love. You will not forget you are in the human experience which at times will bring those moments of questioning. Yet, the understanding that the energy of light and love carries is stronger than the energy of fear...........Many Blessings.........Cherry

Writings

2011-07-19T07:38:00.000-07:00

Over the last 4 months communications have been coming in. These communications have turned themselves into a nice little book which is filled not only with words, the pages are filled with an energy that touches everyone that has picked up the material to read.

I am extremely excited about these writings and I know they will go out into the world. What I don't know is how this will come about. Which of course is just fine. I know when the time is right they will draw in whatever is needed to get r done. (O.K. I couldn't resist a touch of humor there)

Yesterday I hooked up the camera and made a new you tube video. Of course it contained information that was channeled (communicated) in. As the words came in a theme presented itself. The theme was you deserve to not only create your dream, you also deserve to bring it into the physical and live it.

With the words moving through my mind and body and with the writings bringing so much excitedment to the surface I found myself on the internet looking into everything that I was doing to get the writings out there. I also looked at a whole lot of material that gave the information as to what it is you need to do to get the writings out and about. Wow! So much of the material I read conveyed the message that most writings will never make book form and if they do they will only sit and gather dust. The naysayers were present all through the internet pages that I was drawn to read.

There is a very stringent format that is to be followed to get material to the people who are well known in the business and most are not going to be bothered with an unknown writer or an unknown literary agent. OMG! The limits presented through the material I read are enough to turn the most excited writer around with their head down and tail tucked between their legs and their dream breaking to tiny bits around them.

This is only one example of how we have limited ourselves and our dreams. Setting about perceptions that all must follow a certain path that is decided by a select group. When it comes to creating your dreams it is to hold the idea in your heart and thoughts seeing the beauty of it, seeing the merit of it and of course seeing all that your delightful essence has brought to it. Then allowing a new way to come in that opens the door for it to be presented outward in all of it's brilliance.

Dreams are meant to be created and lived. The energy in our new world brings us the information that we have the ability to create anything that we choose. Creating with energy that comes from the heart touched with the passion of belief that you deserve allows the dreams to manifest in the most amazing ways that step past all the naysayers. Much Love to all of you........Cherry

Quiet Time

2011-06-23T08:02:00.000-07:00

My mind has been relatively quiet which has kept my fingers from reaching out to the keyboard as reflections of my life pass through for my observation, consideration, understanding, acceptance and love. We are in a space that says "It's time to love all of you and all of your life, not just the parts that you find acceptable."

Yes, the times we are in remind us that each step of our life has been and is important. We have chosen these times to come to the understanding that even in the idea of imperfection is perfection. As we initiate each step in the process of our life we intermingle with others and they with us. In this intermingling, information comes in the connections and reflections of life we share with each other. Each connection no matter how long or how short it is brings a communication that has the purpose of bringing to us an awareness of life beyond this life and awareness of the movement of our soul.

When images of your life experiences come to you watch with the eye and mind of love, compassion and understanding which allows you to receive the full message of the experience and the personal growth that came with it. Reflect on your life with the same love and acceptance as the Divine Life Force.

You are the gift

2011-05-29T09:39:00.000-07:00

A question that I am asked time and time again when speaking with people is, "What are my gifts."

The answer to that question is always the same. "You are the gift. What you do are your abilities."

Every life no matter what form it takes is a gift. Confusing what you do with the who you are is part of the overall training of mankind. Mankind has forgotten that they are an aspect of the Divine Life Force. As they have lived with the outward world of projection the inner world of Divine understanding has been held silent.

It is asked at this time that the inner whispers of the voice that lives within you is now allowed to amplify so that you hear it on the level of physicality. Allowing the awareness to penetrate your layers so that you may receive, understand and accept that it is never what you do that is the gift.....it is always you who are the gift.

A little exercise in love and accepting

2011-05-24T10:41:00.000-07:00

We all have experiences in our life that have not been pleasant. Some of our experiences have been filled with so much pain we have splintered away from our center denying all aspects of the life we are. We forget that we have chosen this life, the experiences and the people we co-create with. When we are able to accept and fill with love even the most difficult life situations we are able to become whole again. Here is an exercise to reclaim and love every aspect of you, your life and all involved.

Sit or stand comfortably. Take deep breathes all the way into your center. With each breath feel your body, your mind and your emotions calm. When fully relaxed give persmission to yourself to bring up and observe an experience that has been uncomfortable and has caused you an emotional block.

As you do this see the image of the experience with all players including yourself come up in your mind's eye and hold this image two feet our from your heart chakra. See it in a sphere as if it is a movie that you are watching. As you watch it observe the circumstances as completely as you can.

As you have the experience acting out in front of you feel the emotion of the situation come to you. Do not become so entangeled in the emotion that you are distracted from the observation point yet, it is important to call the emotion up to the conscious level. Observe the emotion the same as you have the vision of the experience.

As you watch and feel all that is necessary for you, continue to breath in calm life breathes knowing that you are supported at every moment. Do not attach any form of judgment or critisism to who and what you are viewing. Allow a feeling of nuetrality to prevail.

As you watch and feel from the point of the observer see golden light enter the sphere filling completely the situation and all of the participants. As the golden light beams inside the sphere see that it carries the vibration of complete love. Watch as this golden light sparkles as it enters everyone one in the sphere.

Continue to hold the understanding as you see this light that it is the purest of all love. With this thought see it penetrate all barriers that have been erected freeing each participant from the old patterns and beliefs. Continue to breath, seeing the light and love until you feel a sense of peace replace the old emotion that had been surrounding the event.

As the sphere sparkles with the golden light and love bring to your conscious thoughts that all life situations have been chosen for a purpose that serves the highest good for you and and all involved. As you do this see the sphere of golden light and love move towards you. With only love feel your heart chackra as it pulls ever so gently the sphere inside of it. As the sphere enters your heart you feel only love and acceptance.

Continue to breath in the life breath as you feel the aspect of yourself that had splintered off due to this situation move towards your center and firmly connect again. Take the time to feel the connection of this self loving it completely. Allow the emotions to be as they are to be.

When feeling as if you are fully connected allow yourself to come back to this time and to this place knowing that you have moved through the process that has brought you more of the knowledge of your perfection and the perfection of all life.

Put it out there and let it happen

2011-05-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

Here I am sitting in our motorhome on the Oregon coast. It has been (and still is) a beautiful day with temperatures hovering around 70 degrees for most of the day. Clear blue skies and a beautiful ocean views. A fun filled, stress free puttering down the highway kind of day. Stopping when we wanted to and staying in nice little parks with character and great views. Boy, I am loving it!

When I mentioned the trip last week to a few people their response was, "The weather is awful and supposed to stay that way. What will you do there if all it does is rain." "It is so cold and the coast is going to be even worse." And it continued in that theme. Each time I would shake my head and say, "It is going to be great and the weather will be perfect. I know it will be a wonderful trip."

I did have a feeling that the weather would be terrific and I was right. When thinking about the trip I put it out there to have clear skies and great weather. Why not? We create with our thoughts and our words. Of course our belief systems and actions play a part in all of this too but, why would I want to head out anywhere with the idea that it may be miserable and uncomfortable? Why not put it out there the way I would like it to be and let the Universe, Spirit or any name you choose to use to describe the Source of Life to send it to me in a way that is absolutely fun and wonderful?

I have seen more than once a person (including myself) setting themselves up for a completely uncomfortable situation. In their mind the scenerio is dire, their words and actions confirm this. They talk to others that will add energy to what they are saying and by golly it all goes to Hell in a handbasket.

Next time you are getting ready to do something put it out there the way you want it to be. Take the time to enjoy the moment you are in while setting it up in the way you would like it. It doesn't have to be completely detailed in your thoughts yet, let it have some substance as you put your order out there to be filled. Add the boost of positive energy to what it is that you are setting up. Let it come back to you in a way that is more than you had expected. Then receive and enjoy.

Embrace

2011-05-01T07:22:00.000-07:00

Embrace every moment. Feel each cell come alive waking you to the knowledge you created these moments. Fabulous Creators you are!

I feel the life in this day. Not that I don't other days, I always do. Yet, the sun is shining, the grass is sparkling with dew, the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming and I am loving my reaction and interaction with it all. What a pleasure this first day of May is.

Secrets of Your Soul

2011-04-29T22:56:00.001-07:00

You will not find the secrets of your soul as you listen to the thoughts that filter through your mind. Let them grow quiet and still. Shhhhh....listen.....the voice of your heart is quietly whispering to you the secrets you have waited to hear.

Create with Love

2011-04-23T09:25:00.001-07:00

Your thoughts, actions and words create. Do they support the world you wish to live in? Or the world you fear will be?

Today silence the mind, listening instead to what the heart has to say.

Trusting

2011-04-14T09:05:00.000-07:00

In this wonderful and extraordinary time that is upon you there are many people feeling confused and at a loss. The direction their life had been going, where they believed they were meant to be has changed. For some this change has left a feeling of being adrift moving without direction. We are here to tell you this is a great time. A time in which you are meant to let go with the mind allowing the self to be guided by the heart. Dearest Children of Earth, you are not adrift nor are you without direction. You are feeling the shift that is necessary that moves through the layers of you reaching deep within your cells, opening you to the knowledge of the truest form of who you are. Each step in your process has been in Divine Order and remains so. As you relax the mind freeing yourself up to feel the fullness of the life that is in store for you a new sense of purpose along with a new sense of self comes. We ask that you close the mind to the fear thoughts as they enter reaching out with your heart trusting that the Divine Source of all Life is there with you never once having left you alone and unattended.

Dearest Ones take deep breathes of joy as you feel this new pull of energy that is with you. Open your eyes to the miracle of life that is before you. Free yourself Dearest Ones from the attachment to the physical for just moments at a time. This allows you to stop unnecessary movement that distracts you. With this distraction gone you feel the music of life that has lived within you for all time. We use the term “music” to bring you a great understanding of the vessel of energy you are. All of life is energy in movement that ebbs and flows perfectly in tune with the energetic movement that dances throughout all worlds in Divine balance.

As planet Earth purges old residual energy which causes great shifts in the land masses and waterways that you are familiar with, we assure you we are here. We speak to you in voices of love as you move through the changes of this life that appears to be filled with turbulence that keeps you unsure of the steps that you are to take next. We tell you that the information you are seeking is yours to have. No longer reaching outside of the Self instead reaching deep within the information comes restoring balance to all that you do. This is a time you agreed to come. You agreed to be a source of influence in the re-establishing harmony on Earth once more. Again Dearest Ones, we ask you to silence the mind, open the heart and trust. We love and adore you in this magnificent life that you have undertaken. We hold you in our hearts supporting all that you do. Call to us as we are here……….The Ancients

Complicating the Simple

2011-04-13T15:09:00.000-07:00

Many years ago I was told that I would write a book. Not once had I ever considered myself to be a writer. Yet, when this information came to me it felt right. I immediately shared the information with a good friend of mine. Her response was "What are you going to write inspirational messages and affirmations?" I recoiled from that idea as quickly as she put it out there. This did not appeal to me at all. My thought was that if I was to write it would be of substance carrying a profound message. I thought of all of the serious works that I had read over the years that really touched me and knew that is what I was to write. Yeah you got it. Just a little full of myself wasn't I?

So, as time went by I would sit and write what I thought would be a profound message full of inspiration. Leave it to me to make it really hard. Several ideas came and writings began as I worked to fulfill this prophecy that had been handed to me. None of the writings would ever finish themselves and they sit about in file folders in my computer. Through all of these serious writings I had assigned myself inspirational messages and affirmation continued to come to me. I posted them on the web, sent them out in e-mails, collected them in various files until one day the thought came to me....."She was right! This is what I am to write."

Many times we receive information that can easily take us to where it is that we are meant to go and to what fits us the very best. Yet, through our conditioning we do not let ourselves accept the information which easily moves us in the direction that is in our highest good. Instead we hold it in our mind mulling it over complicating the simple.

Today the simplicity of it all came to me. I am doing what I was told I would do which is write. It hasn't made it to book form yet but, it feels to me that wasn't the main objective of my writing. If my words touch one person and help transform a life in a positive way that is fantastic. I have accomplished the purpose of the writings. It really doesn't have to be hard work to be good. When it comes from the heart it reaches all of those it is meant to reach touching them at their deepest levels.

It's time to look at what you have set before yourself and ask questions. "Am I complicating what could be very simple?" Let go of the idea it has to be a hard and a lot of work to be good. You are not here to do what someone else has done or is doing. You are here to do what is yours to do. This will carry your imprint out into the world in a way that reflects the genuine you.

Changes

2011-04-12T14:45:00.000-07:00

For me March was a month of changes and detoxification at a cellular level. I spent a good portion of the first 3 weeks with one form of the flu or another. During the last week of March I lost my beloved dog Boomer. He touched not only my heart but, the hearts of everyone that came into contact with him.

April has been a month of beginings. I have been drawn to the new and back to the old. By that I mean starting April 14th I will be joining a wonderful group of people at Journeys in Salem Or.to offer my services. Now, as for back to the old. I am returning once a week to Mystic Mountain in Corvallis Or. on Mondays. Mystic is a by appointment only schedule that allows me to re-connect with people I haven't see for a long time and that I have missed very much. These two days out of my home are perfect for me. I am busy, busy, busy the rest of the week with my many clients from all over the world. Not to mention my family, friends and life in general.

Life is ever changing. Being present for all of the experiences that come to us allows us to fully participate in our chosen life. Not all of it is comfortable. Some of it being downright sad and distressful yet, each experience enrichesses us. The uncomfortable moments of our lives brings a stronger appreciation for the moments of love and joy as they present themselves.

What have these last two months brought you? Beginnings? Endings? Changes or just moving with the flow of life at a wonderful liesurely pace without any momentus events. No matter.....it is all still life at it's best.

The new day

2011-03-06T11:30:00.000-08:00

I have experienced in the past, it has helped me form a new today. I do not hold myself in the past instead the information that I have gained from my experiences helps me create in a new way and enjoy this new day.

Words for Creating

2011-02-24T08:31:00.000-08:00

I work within the process of power. This is not a power that reaches to control or manipulate any other being for the purpose of my ego. This is the power that has always lived within me that has the ability to create the life in which I choose to live. As I perceive I create. As I understand I create. I move to the area that lives within me that creates only with the energy of love, clearing my pathway of all obstacles that have prevented me from viewing life with love and clarity. I see with new eyes. I feel with new feelings. I understand with my higher mind. I AM!

Computer Challenges=Changing My Perspective

2011-02-11T19:18:00.000-08:00

This is legnthy but, it may make you feel better about your latest experiences in life. I know it made me feel better just writing it.

Let me tell you about my experiences in the last two weeks with my computer. Or should I say my computers? I had a computer that was approximately 8 years old. Over the years it has had to be worked on for various reasons. The first time this happened I went into a panic as I thought I had lost everything on it. Thank goodness for a wonderful friend that was able to get all the information out of my hard drive including the e-mail addresses for my family, friends and clients. This taught me to find a back up for these precious things. BTW, there is a reason I mention this now.

At the end of this last year I had been pondering upgrading to Windows 7, getting a monitor with a camera in it as I am in the process of learning how to use Skype to do webinars and updating my client address book. Over the years people have come and gone, changed addresses or even e-mailed me from several addresses and all have been kept on my wonderful contact list and back-up. (Yes, my address book is mentioned again) There were a few other things that I had been considering too and one of them was more ram as my computer required it for Windows 7 to operate in it.

I had discussed this with my husband who happened to have the ram I needed for my computer. He was going to use it in his but, being the really nice guy that he is, he let me have it. I had something or other to do and was away for a bit while he began the installation of the ram. When I finished what I was doing I came in to see how everything was going. I knew the instant I saw him that it wasn't going well. The old computer not only rejected the ram, it no longer wanted to work. He was beside himself sure that I would be upset as I use my computer daily to communicate with my clients.

Instead of upset, I decided that was the Universe saying "step into the new" and get a new computer. My goodness! With all of this high energy of 2011 and the fact that what I had been considering would cost just about as much as a new computer, I thought what the heck, I would just forget the upgrades and get a new one. So, off to the store we went, picked up a new one and I happily went home to get it going and begin using it. I was excited!!!!

So, the new computer was set up and I began inputting all of my information into it when I realized it didn't have the Outlook program I used. Being on my e-mail a lot I like having it right on my desktop and one click away from being opened. So, I found a great free desktop e-mail program (Windows Live) and installed it. I then began the process of trying to import my HUNDREDS of client e-mail addresses into it. O.K. soon you will understand why I mentioned my e-mail address book as I did. The back-ups wouldn't import into the program. No matter what I tried or how I cried it just wouldn't work!

I decided this may be the Universes way to get me to update my address book.  This made perfect sense as the address book as I said earlier was out dated. I then went to my online e-mail and sent everyone an e-mail requesting they update their information if they wanted to remain on my list. The e-mails flowed in one right after the other. It made my heart feel good that there were so many positive responses. HUNDREDS of them for that matter.

A week and a half went by and I was in love with my new computer. I had spent hours manually inputting all of those HUNDREDS of e-mail addresses (not to mention all of the programs I use). When the darn thing quit working. It would no longer let me go between the partitions for the users on the computer. Especially the main partition which is my work area. I couldn't believe it!!!! What the heck!!!???? I tried to get ahold of the manufacturer but the thought began running through my mind "It's an electronic item. If it is bad now don't keep it or you'll really be sorry after the warrenty is up." So, I loaded that pup up and hauled it back to the store. Where I picked up a new one. Not only a new one but, an upgrade of what I had originally purchased.

After coming home I went off to work with a client and my husband began setting up the new computer. The excitement was missing this time and when I came out and looked at the computer it was with an air of resignation as I sat down and began the process I had just done not that long ago all over again. And to answer your question, "No, I had not backed up my address book prior to this happening." I hadn't gotten that far.

I went to bed that night with a headache due to eyestrain and tension knots the size of golf balls in my shoulder blades. I got up the next morning refreshed and ready to tackle the new computer. My frame of mind was back to it's usual there's a reason for everything space. I sat down at the new computer and began my work. I had been there about a half an hour when the computer began doing the same thing the other computer had. I couldn't believe it! Was the God of electronics mad at me? Did I forget to throw him some kind of offering and now he was getting even?  I couldn't stand the idea of unhooking everything and carting it back to the store and in the back of my mind I couldn't help but wonder if it was operator error on my part. I grabbed the phone and called the company and this time I was in luck.....I got a computer tech.

On the phone it was determined that I had to do a complete factory re-install. My mind froze when I was told this. What about the addresses I had got in? What about the programs I had spent hours or at least what felt like hours installing. Thank goodness for technology or at least some of it. The tech was able to work from where he was and save the addresses that I had been able to input. Not so with the rest. This was decided after being on the phone with him for over TWO HOURS. He hung up while the computer began it's process saying he would call me back in half an hour. I took that time to rush in brush my teeth, shower and try to get ready for the day.

The half hour came and left. The computer was back to factory settings. I thought why wait and began to go through the start up process. As I began there seemed to be an issue. It seemed that the programs weren't loading very well. I wasn't sure if it was me that was fried and the computer was fine so I continued. As the time went by it became apparent that the computer was not all right. It began refusing to load it's own programs. I dreaded it but, I knew what had to be done. I got the box out and began uplugging cords when the phone rang. It was the tech. He apologized for not calling sooner.

With tears in my eyes and a feeling of defeat I told him I was taking the computer back. He began to try to talk me out of this, he could help me he was sure. I told him it was no use, he asked me to hold on the phone and he was such a nice man I did. I figured he was off to talk to his manager to try to get me to keep the monster that was on my desk with it's screen of darkness waiting for me to walk to it and grab it's skinny base with both of my hands and......whoops...got carried away there. My tired mind finally registered I had been on hold almost 15 minutes. The guy was nice but, what the heck was I doing? I hung the phone up and began the process.

Shall I tell you now that my husband unloaded the first and second computer from the car? He also reloaded the second computer into the car and I had help getting it out of the car at the store and then a nice clerk loaded the new computer into my car after I purchased it. They did this because the computer boxes are heavy and cumbersome. Let me tell you I needed no help this time. I boxed, loaded and unloaded the computer I was returning. I picked out a new computer, put it into the cart, wheeled it out to the car, put it into the trunk, got it home, got it out of the trunk, hauled that baby up the stairs to my front door and deposited it into the house. I did all of this with super human stregnth.

As I stood readying myself to install the new computer I was toying with the idea that I could get it all done and my husband would never know I had exchanged the second one. Why that thought crossed my mind is beyond me. Or maybe not. Very likely an old emotional response from days gone by. As quickly as that first thought came to me something else happened.  Suddenly a wave of peace came over me. My mind began to calm as a voice floated through my mind reminding me that life is good. That all things have a purpose. I consciously chose to listen to that wise voice as I looked at my computer desk and then over to the box on the floor. I was filled with energy. The energy could be used wisely and so, I began clearing the desk, pulled it out from the wall and cleaned away all old cables and dust that had accumulated as they so often do when you have any type of electronics. My energy was now re-focused in a positive way and things were getting done.  The desk and cables were not done when my husband installed the other computers. His focus was getting the computer going hoping to make my day better.

I stopped when the phone rang answering it to hear my husbands voice on the line. He asked how things were. I replied sweetly "fine". He did not believe me. He said he could tell by the tone in my voice something was going on. That I wasn't telling him everything. Hmmmm. Looks like he may know me a bit. So, I told him what my day had been like. He wasn't convinced I was fine and questioned coming home.

That was yesterday. I got up today with curiosity over the new computer. Would it do what the other two had done. When this thought went through my mind I felt resentment and hostility begin. I stopped those thoughts short. Not the way I want to start my day. Then I laughed at myself. That felt better.

I decided to look at this all from a different perspective. Looking at it from a different perspective is an eye opener. What is that perspective you ask? It is this....My computer goes bad, I can afford a new one. For that matter it is a blessing that I could afford one in the first place. I can get in my car, drive to where I want to go. My body functions fully. I am capapble of walking to what I need, lift and carry it. My mind works and I can figure things out. I live in a great home in which I have electricity that not only runs my computer it runs all of the other gadgets I have in my house. I have a wonderful husband that loves me and is willing to stop what he is doing to help me out. And the list of positives goes on and on.

There are people all over the world having difficulties that I have never had to deal with. No homes, no food, poor health, disease and so on. Today I talked to my daughter on the phone to hear she switched shifts with her 24 year old co-worker so that this girl could go to the viewing of her friend that fell asleep at the wheel and died in a car accident this last week. Puts a whole new slant on things. If this is the worst thing I have to deal with then I am not doing so bad at all.

Inspiration

2011-01-07T07:01:00.000-08:00

I looked in the mirror today and saw something beautiful..........ME!

As you look at your reflection no matter where or when you see it, behold and claim the beauty that gazes back at you.

Energy

2011-01-06T10:26:00.000-08:00

I like many people understand that all things are energy and energy is in constant motion. That energy is in levels of frequency with love being the highest frequency there is.

On Tuesday (Jan.4th, 2011) a friend and I went to see Braco the gazing healer. What a lovely experience that was. This amazing man stood before a room filled with approximately 500 people fully open to his Christ energy allowing his gaze to carry that energy out into the room for any who chose to receive it. As he did this, I felt was an instant mass opening of heart chakras filling the room with a love and peace that can only come from the heart.

As I stood in this room filled with this exalted energy tears came to my eyes it felt so lovely. Did I feel a healing within me? All that I can tell you is that I felt complete love of all of life throughout the gaze. I am a believer that love heals all. As it enters our cells and moves deep into each cell this energy brings light to the darkness that has been held in the cellular structure through lifetimes.

Later as I sat in a restaurant waiting for my lunch I noticed I felt energy surrounding and filling each organ in my body. By that I mean, I could feel each individual organ with an energy around it seperatly yet, all at once. My friend who had gone with me to the gazing became icy cold. I told her that I believed that Braco was gazing again. I looked at the clock on my cell phone and saw that it was exactly one hour after we had participated in his gaze. That was when I felt the energy of healing.

We are all beings of energy. We all may send the energy of love and healing out as we reach inside opening our hearts sending this energy out for all of life to receive. As we remember that we are all beings of the Divine Life Force with love being the truth of all Life we raise the vibrations on Earth enabling ourselves to experience what many call Heaven on Earth. As you live in the energy that comes from your heart you live honoring and loving the Self and all of life, healing through the layers of life that has been lived.

And now.... I want to add a link to the latest You Tube video that I made with two of my lovely friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. http://www.youtube.com/user/Cherryd45?feature=mhum Much love to all of you..........Cherry

Welcome in 2011

2010-12-30T07:04:00.000-08:00

It is almost here.....just a couple days away.....many hours.......more in minutes......and if measured by seconds it sounds as if it is even further away. Yet, stop for this moment and feel with your heart. Feel it? No? Take deep calming breathes silencing the mind and feel. Feel with your heart. Now, you feel it. Now you feel the uplifting, high vibrating energy that has been on beautiful planet Earth as it continues to increase with the entry of 2011. Breath in this beautiful wondrous energy. As the doorway opens the energy of 2011 enters. Feel deep into your heart allowing that energy to enter every cell in your body. Open your mind to the dreams you have held quiet for so long allowing them to manifest for you now to enjoy. Breath further into your heart filling with more of the bright clear energy of 2011. Breathing out, the new vibrant energy fills every cell in your body with more light of Source. Beautiful children of Earth let the joy of life lead you. Let the love of life be what carries you forward on your path of creating. Impatient no longer as you live from the heart creating moments of beauty that flow one into the other............The Ancients

Just a little P.S. Visit my You Tube channel for the latest videos. It feels to me as if they will come more often and be fun and informative. http://www.youtube.com/user/Cherryd45?feature=mhum

Reading for a client

2010-11-17T09:26:00.000-08:00

The following is information that came in for a client of mine. She generously allowed me to post it so that the message is there for any that it serves. Take whatever is necessary for you from the words and let the rest move on to all others it meant to touch..........C

For months now we have been traveling in that place of visiting our deepest fears. Taking them on head first, experiencing them and allowing ourselves to see further into the fears, no longer allowing them to swallow us whole. What is your greatest fear in this situation? It is not the test themselves nor the language classes. It is of not being enough and of failing. Not failing the classes but, failing at living life according to the beliefs of those around you, beginning with your family. Go deeper inside to the child self that has held the fear of being different and not measuring up to those she loved. Let her (you) recognize the old words and feelings that stated you could not do, that you were not enough. Forgive all of those who uttered those words or sent that message. Allow yourself to see the perfect being you are and love who you see.

Again, the experience and lesson in this is the repetition of not performing according to someone else’s idea of good enough. Once you stepped into the continuance of your old pattern the energy has freely flowed there. Even with all that you have heard to overcome this, the old energy of fear and failure has been stronger. It is time to really see yourself in a light of perfection and grasping all of your lessons easily. Looking beyond the idea of just the language class being a form of learning to speak in a new and different way, what does it represent to you internally? That is where to look for this. It represents the idea of speaking then not only being heard but, also understood. And the same with hearing and understanding those who speak to you. Think of the child self and how many people spoke at her expecting a certain outcome. Then her interpretation of what was said to her and how she felt as if she failed when she tried to do what was asked because the message became garbled in her mind or at least that is how she felt.

This is the hardest time for many of people. Let yourself really see yourself whole and perfect. Imagery does help you at this time. Imaging a positive outcome and then feeling it to the very best of your ability. It isn’t to continue to look at the why of this idea of failure but, to look past it and see yourself completely successful in all of your efforts. Do not let the fear blind you to the actual outcome. Do not let the fear blind you to your true abilities.

Hello all of you out there

2010-08-25T09:00:00.000-07:00

It is a wonderful new day. Begin this day by holding in your mind what it is you would like to create. Now that you have a clear image in your mind ask yourself "what does this feel like?" Let yourself feel everything that you can about it. Let it permeate your being as you feel the experience. With a smile in your heart, in your mind and in your whole existance throw your creation out into the Universe and begin your day. As you do this you free it allowing yourself to draw to you what it is you have created. Acknowledge with joy and happiness each piece of your creation as it comes in to your physical world. As you do this you are raising your vibration allowing you to continue to create in a space of positive abundance. Keep dreaming, keep creating, keep living and keep loving all that you are and all that life is.

Uploading gathering video on you tube

2010-08-24T10:43:00.000-07:00

Finally I am here writing again. It has been a very busy time. Since I began making the you tube videos I seem to be taken out and around. I wanted to remind you to send me your ideas of topics you would like to hear about in the videos. Not only do you receive information it goes out for others that are wanting insight on the same subject.

I taped the August 22nd gathering and I am in the process of breaking it into segments that fit the time line for you tube. This is a process in itself. I hope to have it (or at least several of the clips) up and veiwable in the next few days. Keep a look out for them. Here is the link to my channel http://www.youtube.com/my_videos Take what works for you from the information and then let the rest go. You are a magnificent creator. Create the life you choose to live. Many Blessings...........

What's New

2010-07-21T14:30:00.000-07:00

It has been a very long time since I have posted on my blog. That is the way it is at times. We begin something jsut to have it slip into the background of our life. Now when I have this happen to me I understand there is a reason that it is not out in the forefront and I allow that to be.

I have not always had this insight during my life. I remember very well the many times that I believed something was to be in my life and when it did not stay in the space and time that I believed it should be then boy oh boy I did everything in my power to force it in. And of course it never materialized as I believed it should. Now, I do know that all happens in the perfect time and the perfect space. I needed the down time to restore and regenerate, to go into areas of my own process allowing my further transition. As that finished my life on the physcial plane is coming back to life.

I would like to share with you that I am now doing you tube videos. These feel very fun and very right to me. If you would like to view them feel free to go to you tube and look under either Cherryd45 or Cherry Divine. You will find me there.

Let your life flow easily and allow what is to be there to be. Many blessings.

Been Away

2010-03-17T08:14:00.000-07:00

It has been a bit since I have been here to post on my blog. My computers hard drive gave up the ghosts on Feb. 26th. This event stirred things up for me a bit. I had just completed the first addition of the Premier Membership (visit my website for further information on this) write up and voice clips, I had a list of people that had joined and were expecting to have this on March first and my computer had died. Not to mention my whole client list was there and of course all other information that I consider of great value.

At first I stepped into an old pattern of "oh my gosh what am I going to do?" as I frantically went through everything that I could think of. A thought had began coming to me on the outer fringes of my awareness then smacked my total awareness with a jolt. What was the thougtht? It was that the number for the friend that works on my computer was of course alive and well inside of my non-responding computer where I could not get to it. I had his old number on the outside computer but, that was not going to do me a bit of good as it was disconnected.

Yep. A part of me was going a little crazy. My youngest granddaughter was spending the night and calling from the bath that she was ready to get out. My husband encouraged me to go to her and it seemed like the best thing that I could do at the moment. And let me tell you it was much more fun talking to her, getting her ready for the night, blowing her hair dry and so on. These actions and this fun little personality lifted me and my energy field up again.

When I came back to the computer my husband had managed to get it to boot up. I was able to send out all of the information on the P.M. to those who were waiting for it, contact a few other people and get some other information before it went down for the very last time.

For a couple of months the Universe had been giving me a hint of what was to come. I listened to some of the information as it came in and acted on it. I ignored or overlooked some of the other information that was sent in. Which of course is a message in itself. Isn't this the way we do things many times? We are sent messages in many forms to let us know what is coming our way. We see and hear some of the information and act on it as it comes in. We overlook, miss or just plain ignore the rest of the information that has been supplied to us. Or we just do not understand what it is that is being sent to us.

The point here is that we are becoming more and more aware of the "help" we receive from sources outside of what we can see, hear or touch . We are becoming more and more intune with this "help". As we trust and act on the unseen "help" the more we understand and accept the support we have coming to us from the non-physical.

Another message I received from this little event is clearing and renewing the way I communicate. All of this lead me to send messages and update my address book. This request for an update brought a new order and a new contact in from those on my e-mail list. It brought life back to what seems to be just words written on a screen.

When you have an event occur in your life that seems unpleasant look deeper into it and see all that is brought to you from the occurrance. Instead of holding onto only a negative outlook that keeps your energy level down, step away from it, shift your perception and then see the gifts that roll in with it. Many blessings to you.

Events and Happenings

2010-02-28T13:11:00.000-08:00

This sure has been a time of events and happenings. Some expected and some not. I started a new adventure with the addition of my "Premier Membership" on my website. This has been a wonderful and exciting success and a planned event. The first addition was to go out on March 1st.

Well.....that was the plan then the Universe sent in an energy of change and my desktop computer stopped working. (A very big unplanned event) And of course this is where all of the information was kept for the PM. By that I mean the e-mail with the spiritual guidance including the monthly excercise to stay focused plus the recorded meditation/visualization. At first I went into the old mental panic with my mind racing thinking "Oh my gosh! I have a long list of people that are waiting for this" and of course I didn't have a back-up.

My diversion from this frantic and frentic thinking came in the form of my 5 year old granddaughter who was spending the night. She needed my attention and of course that was the better place to be. As I was taking care of her needs I felt myself calm and become more in the moment of joy and laughter (nice space to be in). She and I came back into the area where the computer is and my husband had the computer running again. It ran long enough for me to get the PM information sent out early, make up back-up information and do a few other things before it went down again not to come back to life. Or at least no life for the time being and I know that will change too.

The Universe had been preparing me at the beginning of last month for this unexpected event. At the beginning of Feb. and ad for Plaxo popped up on my e-mail and I decided it was time to update and back-up my client addresses there and I followed through. Then two weeks ago I had the urge to burn all of the photos on my computer to disc. And I did that too. Earlier in the day my computer went down I had sent a copy of the PM e-mail w/voice clips to a couple of friends so that they could see what I was creating. So,even if my husband had not been able to get the cumpter up for the short period he did, I still had all the information. All I had to do was contact my friends and ask them to send it back to me. I also, felt the urge to create a copy of my website information and place it on my computer. Now, that I didn't do. Yet, I know it will be fine. Maybe it is time for a change there and this is the perfect time to do that.

I know these events serve their purpose. There have been changes that came in that I viewed as positive the moment they arrived. People from my past contacting me. These are both on the business and personal level which is re-establishing our connections. Wonderful new friendships are being formed. Discussions of new business opportunites have cropped up. It has been a whirwind of the expected and unexpected.

But, I do want to revisit the unexpected event that brought me to my panic mode for one more moment. As I mentioned prior to the event I began receiving urgings preparing me for the crash of my computer. I took action on some of it and didn't on other urgings I had been receiving. Many times we are prepared in advance for what we consider the unexpected. It is only a matter of listening at the time. Following those little guidances. As we do this not needing the exact reason why we are receiving the guidance instead trusting what we are feeling and acting on it, we find that we are always being supported and prepared when there is a need for this. Trusting what comes to us and acting on it reminds us that we not only supported, it allows us to stay in our personal power.
Let yourself move with the flow of energy of the Universe. Trust that you are supported even when things seem to come to you in an unexpected way that turns your world upside down. Or seems to. Listen to your own intution even when you do not know fully why it is coming in. It serves its purpose. Blessings........C

Moving Along

2010-02-23T08:18:00.000-08:00

Well, things are moving along. The energy we are now in is bringing in ideas for new ways to add to our lives. These may not really be what we would consider new yet, they will feel new to us. This is a time to really let yourself be adventures. If an idea comes in that is different then the way you would normally do something, then put that idea into action. Go ahead. Let go of that old pattern and implement the new. Let it be fun.

One of the ideas that came to me is opening up a inexpensive format for people to receive information on a monthly basis. The idea popped into my mind to start what is called the "Premier Membership". Of course this concept is not necessarily new, many others have used it long before it came to me. Yet, it is new to me. I felt the push to get in there and get it going. And so that is exactly what I did. I began the monthly membership. Those who join will receive monthly guidance in an e-mail. Along with this will be either a voice clip or cd (the person gets to choose) which will contain a meditation/guided visualization. The idea behind this is to add another way for people to keep focused on what we lovingly call "our path." With all of the changes going on in our world that seem to harbor and create more fear, this allows the focus to be of a positive nature which brings each person back to the knowledge they are the creators of their life and they may create in a wonderful fun and loving way.

So, let yourself jump into the new energy and create. If an idea comes to you that is different and feels like a breathe of fresh air, do it. Have fun with it. Let it be your new toy. Grab ahold of it, form it, reform it, pull it in and out and play with it until it is exactly what you want it to be. If a little later down the road it no longer is what you want, pull that idea out again, grab ahold of it, form it, reform it, pull it in and out and play with it. Yep, I did re-write that line all over again. It reminds us that nothing is written in stone, there are no absolutes and to let it be fun.

By the way.....smiling is contagious.

Feels like spring

2010-02-18T15:49:00.000-08:00

Today has been the most beautiful sunny day. I have really enjoyed being able to get out and feel the sunshine, smell the fresh air and watch the birds and other creatures move about. Interestingly enough I have had a lot of do-overs today. Do-over this document and do-over that document. Stop this one and re-write that one. I almost thought I was in Mercury Retrograde. I do know that when these things happen it is time for me to stop and see if there is another subtle message trying to come through these events. Something that is trying to catch my attention. Are there areas I need to slow down and look at? Are there areas in my life that I am clearing by doing them over? Or is there an area to look back at, do over so that the process of clearing can complete? So, much to ponder. I think I will go sit in the sun on the porch and think about all of this. The sun is calling.........

Happy Valentines Day

2010-02-14T09:12:00.000-08:00

It is a wonderful day and a wonderful day to express the love you feel for those you love. Share in the joy of opening your heart and appreciating everyone and everything that is. Much love to all of you!

Conversation

2010-02-09T07:27:00.000-08:00

I thought this would be a fun and light hearted way to share with you. I received an e-mail from a friend after she had read an article concerning the concept of there being no time. I then replied to her e-mail (my reply is in the red font). She then responded to my e-mail in conversation mode(her response is in the blue). I loved the information and the way it flowed so, I asked for her permission to post our communications and she gave her o.k. So, here it is.

Let me really get you going. Love this first sentence. I rubbed my hands took a breath pulled my clothes into their proper position and laughed before reading further. :) People stubbornly hold onto the perceptions of life as they believe it is in this lifetime. Oh yeah... Trying to “lock” it all into what they are aware of now. Must be that longing to feel safe and secure I think, to know what is going on but fast as possible, not wanting to know there is so much more; wanting things to be easy. Refusing to stretch and understand. Yes, we've seen others do that before our eyes and ourselves do this inside ourselves. I'm sure YOU have C. Not, only is there not any time and you decide what time period you want to come into when you choose to come into a life, you choose where you want to go, what you want to experience, whether you have a body or not and so on. Well, you just enlightened me again Cherry. Didn't know the part about being able to choose whether we have a body OR NOT. Thanks! Mankind says the word “infinite” as in “infinite possibilities” yet, cannot wrap their mind around what they are saying. This is some real wisdom and insight you have. It's true. I believe this too. I can see myself not always ready to wrap my mind around some things then tell myself to go

ahead and do it anyway. Ultimately trying to make what is infinite, finite. You may or may not have a lesson you want to learn. Well! Thanks once again. I've been thinking we always have to have a lesson. That feels freeing. You may or may not come to planet Earth. Oooohh... Maybe next time around I could live on the cat planet; giggle! You may or may not have a body. Whew! Now from where I stand or sit that sounds like a lot of fun - no pain then! You may or may not come into this Universe. Even bigger WHEW! WOW! You may have a belief system that contains emotions, you may not. Geeeee whiz Cherry. You've definitely got me going. To understand is to “not understand”. Ohhhhh! Because when we feel we understand we're probably standing still again in our growth. That's what I'm getting from this. Just say it is o.k. to think beyond the limits you know now even if it doesn’t feel as if it is something you can comprehend. I like this idea very, very much. We are not locked into the patterns that we believe in, anything is possible. And "anything" really means "anything" which I keep getting again and again. There you have it Well, I have a few its now thanks to you Cherry. I will keep all you said here, in mind from now on. Thanks a lot for sending these thoughts back to me. Glad you enjoyed my email. Lisa...

Fun Today

2010-02-05T14:24:00.001-08:00

Today is one of the most fun days. A friend of mine are getting ready to start a new project. It is called "Lily and Friends". Or at least that is the name we are shooting for. It is going to be a wonderful site that is for the dog (animal) lover. This is very exciting for us! Can't wait to share it will all of you. Animal and planet friendly.

Wanting and Receiving

2010-01-24T11:22:00.000-08:00

I am asked over and over again by people how to draw in what they want. I receive a very simple answer that of course is also part of my remembering just like it is yours. First allow yourself to "want" it and put out that "want".

The group that works with me gave me a wonderful lesson not long ago in this form of creating. I was speaking with my nephew. I hadn't seen him in over a year. While speaking I looked at a Celtic Cross he was wearing around his neck and the thought raced through my mind, "I want that". It was quick and simple. I was drawn back into the conversation very quickly and did not have time to add any of the thoughts that would take away from this want such as "how selfish to want someone else's necklace" and so on. After awhile we finished our conversation and it was getting time for me to leave and he stopped me telling me he hadn't taken the necklace off since he had received it about a year and a half before. He took the necklace off and handed it to me and told me he "wanted" me to have it. I was amazed and of course full of thanks. I loved it as it came not just from his hands but, also from his heart.

That following week-end I was at an expo doing a reading for a beautiful butterfly (I always describe her this way as that is the way she appears to me) of a woman. During the read I looked at a very ornate ring she was wearing. Out of nowhere that thought appeared "I want that ring". I didn't have time to study the thought or really attach too much of anything to it. I was way too busy. This woman left and I continued doing readings. She came back about two hours later with her hands cupped together and asked me to hold out my hands. She explained she had received the message from her guides to bring me the gift that she was holding and that I would know why. She then dropped the ring into my hands.

I didn't have time to look into this at that time. A few days later when I did have the time several thoughts came to me. I had wanted and did not attach any thought to the want. No shame or guilt for wanting something that was someone else's. No reasoning why it couldn't or shouldn't happen. No, holding it in my thoughts trying to control how it should come to me. My heart was open each time and so was theirs. I was joyful and grateful for receiving the gifts. All of this added to the opening of allowing the gifts to flow in to me.

I have shared this with many people since it all occurred and now I have more to add to this wonderful lesson. My granddaughters and I were in Petco about a week and a half ago. We were by the turtles and my oldest granddaughter asked me if I would get her a turtle. We discussed it for a bit and I told her that at that time I couldn't but, you never know one day I may be able to. We left it at that.

It happens that my grandson (her brother) had been wanting a turtle for several years and had asked his folks for one. They were going to get him one for his birthday or Christmas (I can't remember which one) and explained that they were pretty expensive and it would be all they could afford to get him. He is thoughtful and didn't want to impose the cost on them and then he is also a kid and couldn't wrap his mind around that being the only gift.

Back to the present now. As it happens I was visiting some friends the other day and they asked if I knew anyone who would want two turtles. They explained that they were given a male and a female to care for until they could find them a good home. I bet you can guess the rest of the story from here. Of course I knew two people that wanted turtles. And of course I took them to my grandchildren.

Here is the message of receiving in this. With my granddaughters (both were at the store and the five year old wants what her sister wants) I didn't voice strongly the why's it couldn't happen leaving the energy for the potential right there. The girls held the want in the minds. And of course our hearts were open with the wonder and beauty of the turtles we were viewing. With my grandson the energy was stronger around the expense and idea of what would be lost (extra gifts) making the opening for recieving what he wanted smaller. Yet, his want was still there and with the willingness to have still open he did receive it even if it was a few years down the road from the first time he voiced his want. It also did not come to him in the only way he thought it would be possible for him to recieve what he had asked for. And that was through his parents in the form of a gift that was presented on a specific day.

While I am here talking about receiving; I want to give a great big heart felt thanks to my friend Freda. She paints the most amazing pictures and I have often thought "I want" one of those paintings. I didn't voice this yet, she felt it. Yesterday she presented me with a beautiful painting of a Pegasus. She had been listening to the many times I mentioned I had a connection to Pegasus then painted this beautiful painting just for me. Wow! Isn't life great. Not just the receiving the gifts, it is about having these wonderful loving people and events in my life.

Allow yourself to see what it is you "want" in this life. Allow yourself to know you deserve it. Let the old voices that have stopped you from receiving what it is you want go quiet. Open your hearts and receive knowing it does not create a hardship to anyone to have what you desire when it comes from the heart. As you do this know that you open your heart and you also hear and feel what another wants to receive. If you are meant to be the person that gives them what it is they are asking for, you will be the person to do just that. Keep it all very simple and from the heart.

Feeling Good

I am tired yet, feeling very good. We had the first teleconference of 2010 toady (Jan. 19th). So, many channeled messages and a couple of very powerful meditations. Many reminders of how important it is to be present in the moment we are experiencing. Also, taking the time to focus on what brings us joy, love, peace and happiness.

I always love how we receive the information that is necessary for us. Many times through the experience or question of another. Thanks everyone for joining in. I think today I will add the information that cd's of the conference call are available. Talk to ya'll later.

What?! Not done yet?

2010-01-14T12:04:00.000-08:00

The other day I was with a friend and we were drawing cards from her Mermaid & Dolphin deck asking what was needed to move forward in what we were preparing to do. Cards that stated forgive or forgiveness kept coming up. Neither of us knew what we were supposed to forgive. Of course we get blinded just like everyone else at times to the situations in our lives. We hold the idea we have completed whatever it is and moved through the situation leaving nothing else to do. I am well aware of the saying "we are like onions, peel one layer to reveal another." Yet, I was convinced the forgiveness card was more hers than mine.

Last night during a dream I found out that the card was meant as much for me as it was for her. I had a very profound healing dream that came from forgiveness. I know that much of my teaching comes from my humanness. I would like to share a bit of what it was all about with you.

Many years ago I became involved in a relationship that was abusive mentally, emotionally and physically. During this relationship I turned my back on my family and went against their warnings and wishes. Only to find out in the long run they were on the mark. You know how it is, if we are meant to do something it makes no difference what anyone else says we jump in head first.

In last nights dream I saw a figure of a man it was not the man from the relationship (or it did not seem so at the time) in which many of the occurances during the relationship did happen including the warning of the family and me turning my back on them. I saw the hurt and anger I had felt as he threw challenge after challenge at me ( that is the way it was presented in the dream). At the end of the dream I saw the energy flashing from my eyes as I looked at him and then he spoke the words, "and now you are finsihed with me aren't you." It was as much a statement as a question. I again saw the energy of my eyes as they flared, then instantly they softened and calmed and I said " No, I am not finished.."

I then saw both of us on either side of a large bathtub. I turned on the water. As I did this I saw the fresh clean water enter the tub and then begin to rinse away grey water that had been there. I noticed that this water was not very dark just a light shade of grey. I knew this was important (I realized the next day it signified that much of the emotion had been cleansed/cleared earlier) I saw the tub turn into something that was similar to a water slide and the grey water went down the tub/slide and into a large drain leaving only clean clear water moving through it.

With that I saw myself change to a very maternal figure and he shifted to a child of about three years old and climbed into my lap. I enfolded him with my arms and held him in a bond of love as he rested his head against me.

I woke from that dream at that point. I knew immense forgiveness and healing had happened. I knew that the energy that was needed to heal what had been that relationship took place. There is and intense feeling of peace within me. When we understand that what we experience has much more to it than we see it allows all that is meant to happen take place.

Next maybe I won't be so quick to think that the message is not for me. As it always is.....it worked out perfectly. I would say the message of this is that even when we believe we are done with something that may not necessarily be so. Healing has to move through the layers as you are open and ready for that next step in the process.

Welcoming in 2010

Hello everyone. Today is the first day of my new blog. It is my intention to write in it at least weekly. I look forward to your comments, questions and input.

Isn't this the most wonderful time? It may not seem so to some yet, this is a powerful time of creation. We are in a whole new energy that is bringing us to a new level of understanding and manifestation. We have opened our heart centers and are connecting on a global level.

This year is important in so many ways. We have always manifested our thoughts and beliefs even when we have been unaware that we were doing so. Over the years it has been stressed to be conscious of your thoughts, actions and words as these were creating. That as we connected on a level of consciousness we created more rapidly what was largly held in mass consciousness. We have had a shift in the belief of this consciousness and it is allowing all to create at a more rapid rate.

Do not fear this as it allows you to become very aware of where you have been held on an earthly level and allows you to view it, feel it, process it and move it out of the life you are living. This opens you to creating a world that is more in alignment of the truth of man. What is that truth you ask? That man is and always has been fully connected to the Divine.

Let me say it again. I look forward to you joining me in this blog adding your sparkling energy and Divine Wisdom. Blessings.........Cherry
