Scenes from Father's Day 2012
and the girls descended the stairwell, humming
the Pachabel Canon (in D Major, of course;)...dressed to the nines, for
their daddy on Father's Day
Daddy had a most wonderful Father's Day! First he took his boy Piper jogging; and then came home to clean up his boy Piper's doggy doo!!!!! woo hooo!! And then, daddy repaired one of the sprinkler heads from our built in sprinkler system, and then he hopped on the computer to research canoes for the family.
"Everynight in my dreams, I see you, I feel you....that is how the heart must, go on." (ahem, a loose resemblance to The Titanic, wouldn't you agree?...ya ok, I what can I say, I try:)
'nuff said!
ok, just one more thing...a VERY Happy Two Year Anniversary to my clan...two years ago on Father's Day, we locked the doors to our WI home one last time, hooked up the boat and the camper...and began our adventure in South Carolina...and what a beautiful vacation it's been!!

Happy First Birthday "Kate"
Monday, June 4, 2012
from: "How to Raise Your Vibration"
Well here we are already at June the 4th! In this time of transition,
the space between world ages, 2012 is a watershed year. And within this
year, from an astrologer's perspective, June is the pivotal month.
Today we are experiencing a potent lunar eclipse and of course on 5/6 June we will experience the Venus Transit. Then later this month 20/21st we have the Cancer Solstice, followed by the much anticipated 23/24th Uranus square Pluto exact! All this celestial energy is pouring forth upon us, providing us with an incredible opportunity for catapulting ourselves forward, opening to and uniting with our soul self, connecting to the unified field and living from this space, eliminating duality from within ourselves and our lives, embracing our gifts and talents AND re-engineering our lives to bring them more in alignment with our higher truth and this oneness. Bringing balance, harmony, passion and joy back into our daily existence!
In surrendering to this evolutionary objective completely, we allow ourselves to clear all that is holding us back from this objective quickly, with grace and ease - NOW!! Resistance on the other hand really creates struggle - in every area of our lives. So if you are finding there is a lot of struggle in your life overall (or in a particular part of it) - it is time to take a good audit and commit to shifting that which is no longer in your highest good.
For some people despite being in the place of total surrender, there is so much clearing going on that they feel the heaviness of this in their life and even health... if you are here - hang in there, it is soooo worth it! For others again - there is a determined passionate drive to allow change into their lives, to open to their gifts and be the change in our world, if this is you "keep on moving", please don't judge any of the challenges entering your life as negative, know they are either pointers saying 'not this way' or simply the clearing process, either way they highlight the path to your destination! Know in your heart that with your commitment to your goal, an open heart and an ear on your inner voice, with the celestial flow of this time and the incredible support of the vast armies of light beings behind us- you will achieve your goals!
The reality is that every day there are opportunities for high highs, and sometimes there are big lows, and everything in between! This is because we are seeing and/or shifting and clearing the 'old' and 'past' energetically or literally moment by moment - creating space for the new more aligned frequencies and realities to birth within us and reflect out into our world. The truth is that so much is going on energetically and multi-dimensionally that we cannot even know how big this really is - we just have to trust in the process. This is important work, great work, honoured work - something we chose with excitement to come to Earth to participate in. Now is a time to feel that excitement and the goal that unites us all here on Earth!
The key to navigating this incredible time is to truly love and honour yourself, to nurture yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. It is really the most important of things to be doing right now and I want to share with you some tips and ideas to help you do just this!
Throughout this period, and especially on key alignment dates like the next 2 days:
Eat healthy nutritious food (keep it as green as possible), avoid sugars, caffeine, alcohol and other toxins.
Pamper yourself with a massage or other nurturing activities.
Exercise - particularly those that help you attune to your body and the rhythms of creation/nature , such as yoga, tai chi, surfing etc.
Rest when your body is tired - guilt free rest is vital.
Spend time in nature (grounding and nurturing yourself is vital right now). Working with crystals is also very beneficial right now, just keep those you are attracted to nearby throughout your day.
Be vigilant about your thoughts (try to keep them lovingly aligned with your truth, the world you wish to create)
Stay positive and focused.
Open to new opportunities and adventures (follow the synchronicity in your life, or that nagging inner voice that says DO THIS!!)
Ritualize your intent (make meditation, visualisation, prayer & blessings a part of your daily life)
Allow changes to flow naturally (surrender to the changes entering your world, trust that everything is for the best, placing you where you are meant to be)
Be creative (have fun!)
Connect with your core being...your essence
Keep a journal of your thoughts, feelings and impressions
Open to deeper love (heal the past, heal old wounds, forgive, feel, open to compassion)
Hold loved ones, the Earth and all beings in prayer
Journey with Venus, the Sun, Moon and Earth Mother, all the planets, the stars and galaxies. Go deep. Expand. Allow. Breathe with the rhythms of creation.
