Reflections On Sunrise

“Symbols are miracles we have recorded into language.”
― S. Kelley Harrell

Happy Monday friends. It was a bit dreary here this morning, with a low layer of lavender clouds obscuring the sun as it rose above the hills.

It’s hard to believe I’ve been back for 3 weeks now. As I sat and contemplated what the week ahead holds for me – breathing out some tension, breathing in tranquility – a very large bumblebee came to visit me.  It hovered near for quite some time, to the point I really thought it would land on me.   Well, I’m not that good of a meditator, as the bumblebee caused me to stand up and break my mantra. read more

It’s a beautiful morning here on St. Thomas today.  I hope you are enjoying a sweet Sunday morning too!

So I’m still feeling a little bit giddy after a successful day of selling on eBay yesterday. Oh, and might I add seeing 11:11 the past two morning 🙂

I spent a good hour yesterday up in my attic, sorting through all kinds of stuff.  Old designer suits I’ll never wear again, holiday decorations, unused art & collectibles … read more

“Like the sky opens after a rainy day we must open to ourselves…. Learn to love yourself for who you are and open so the world can see you shine.”
~ James Poland

Good morning friends. I loved seeing this beautiful red sky, before the sun blazed up into our clear blue skies. Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful weekend !!

It’s no doubt that one of the first messages I saw this morning on Facebook was from my friend Laurel over at Illuminating Souls: “Sometimes we pick up energy & emotions that are not ours. If you’re feeling overwhelmed & don’t know why, ask the angels to clear away anything that does not belong to you. Sit for a few moments and imagine the angels gently clearing your energy field. You will feel so much better.” read more

“We are not on this earth to just stand still & look pretty. The museums already have enough statues.”
~ Mandy Hale

The multiple layers of clouds seemed to fill my mood with a sense of melancholy this morning. Sometimes when I look out over the vast open waters, spirit seems very near. Everywhere. Other days, like today, I couldn’t help but wander, what is my purpose in all of this …

As John Muir would say, the vastness of Glacier National Park and the Big Sky Country of Montana would change me. One of the most mind-opening experiences came at a stop to a historical point along the Yellowstone River. read more

“Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”
~ Paramahansa Yogananda

I was surprised to find an overcast sky this morning. It feels like the clouds will burn off rather quickly, but I never doubt what the universe sends me …

I couldn’t believe yesterday how frequently my message was repeated by others. Or is Facebook simply turning into Google AdSense and sending me page feeds based on things I type or click-throughs ?? It’s beginning to feel that way … read more

“Quality is never an accident; It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; It represents the wise choice of many alternatives.”

Good morning friends ! What a beautiful display of light mother nature provided this morning.  And for some reason, I couldn’t get this Sarah Evans song out of my mind ….

Oh, how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born
You were born yeah
You were born to fly read more
