... gifted moments ...

It is with complete gratitude that I offer this space today to honour the essence of spirit and the wondrous ways our lives can be gifted should we allow for the love of God to be embraced in all of our levels of existence. It is through the process of understanding and compassion in the moments we are called upon to display tolerance and acceptance to those sometimes extremely difficult experiences we find ourselves involved in; be it alone or with others we have chosen to love. There are many unexpected events and opportunities that greet us each moment of each breath that may or maynot be what we believe to be ideal circumstances. Sometimes these experiences may be short lived while others may require time; time to work themselves out so that peace and clarity can be the gift given. For those of us whom have the infinite patience to endure the trying moments while trusting the ushering in of our desires .... I applaud you today and everyday for the courage it takes to remain humbled and steady in the face of adversity. Seasons change as do the paths of the good red road we walk as we grow into the magnificence of wholeness of who we all truly are! "I am that, I am", IS, who we all are - We must always try to remember to celebrate our victories in movement, no matter how large or small they appear. This is OUR life, these are OUR treasured moments, this is WHY we are here and HOW we can change, once we accept the power that lies within us all as that of complete and supreme oneness to love! Thank you to every single being I have been blessed to have share in my journey thus far ... thank you for the many "teachable moments" you all have brought forth for me; thank you for the freedom in KNOWING that in order to have everything one must be willing to surrender everything ...
And so it is - let our hearts continue to guide us with infinite courage,divine grace,sacred wisdom to know that everything we desire is right here right now ... namaste and gods blessings to all - a very grateful apachebluemoon

... s stroke of insight ...

Good day and blessings to all - I am full of infinite gratitude for this wondrous universe we call home. I am so consistently amazed with the constant gifts that are freely given to those whom choose to be awake enough to receive and embrace the everyday miracles. I am giving an enormous heartfelt thanks to my dear friend Shelley for thinking about me, as she always does, in forwarding on an email pertaining to one woman's personal experience that she courageously shares. I offer you the link to click on should your heart be interested in hearing and embracing an incredible story of rediscovery and truth! The person I speak of is Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist brain scientist. It is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. Please take 18 minutes and watch the recorded clip (found at the side under Links) called Dr. Jill Taylor ..... in abundance of light, love and peace - namaste beautiful ones ... apachebluemoon

.. and with the roar of the engines we were off ...

Hello to all ... I have not had the glorious opportunity to share thoughts of anykind on this blog for the last few days as I have been in the mode of travel and not able to connect to the internet. How interesting and profound a thought when one feels disconnected and unable to reach out to those they would in a usual manner. Time contraints, travel delays, harsh winter conditions ... so similar to the inner dragons one must face from time to time when there may be moments of depression, misunderstandings, or simple miscommunications that dance to a song out of ones' apparent control. This duality that supports the illusion of separation can certainly bring about the state of confusion and frustration. CONNECTION is the theme of this post, although until I began to type I had no previous thoughts as to the content of this message. Amazing how spirit always has truth that needs to be revealed. I type this as I sit on the balcony in this very beautiful spot in San Juan. It truly is a heavenly place, especially to those of us Canadians whom at this time of year are used to minus degree weather and not 80 - 90 full sunshine ... I feel quite blessed right now! The physical journey to travel here was full of minor interruptions ... unexpected delays and cancellations that postponed our initial arrival. Funny though, there was peace in the moments and trust as the plane was about to take off from the very snowy conditions that plagued Chicago with a storm. The trust factor was very much a choice in my being as I peered out the window to see some snow still on the wing, even after de-icing, just moments before take off. I looked at the facial expression of my husband to see that he too had noticed my findings. There was a minute when we silently contemplated whether or not we would say something to the flight attendants but trustingly decided not to ... for me this was a hugh thing as anyone who has had the delightful experience of being with me on a plane, knows my state of being while flying .... usually not one of complete total calm!! Of course, as I ponder this now, I realize that the fear was one of separation and disconnection and all of those crazy things that most of us human beings have felt at some point in this life. For this, I am grateful in the strength it took and continues to take for one to choose trust in situations that call for endurance, patience, knowing and certainty. I am grateful for the mantras that were available for me to silently repeat and for the constant angels that forever watch our flights, be it in the air or on this very sacred ground! My prayer tonight is for all whom have ever shared in feelings of disconnection or separation at some point along this journey. May the light of the holy spirit lift you always to know the truth that all things are always as they should be and to trust the unfoldments as they come within the wisdom and grace of your soul .... in abundant blessings and infinite love - apachebluemoon

... so fundamentally male ...

Well ... to those of you whom are my male readers, this title should grab your attention! Relax, there are no judgements or sly comments coming - in fact, mere observation. Today was very interesting as it brought forth the opportunity for me to serve as a sounding board for a few special people. The main theme spoken and shared was that of the "male energies" and how the fears and control play a crucial part in so many of the relationship playgrounds we all find ourselves in, no matter the depth of evolution! Now this is not to say one has to be male in body parts in order to experience the male energy ... quite on the contrary, as each of our beautiful beings are made up of both feminine and masculine tendancies. What is being referred to here is the element of the ego when in the mode of control ... when the feminine qualities of love, understanding and compassion are being buried and hidden within the expression of doubts, ignorance, supreme assertiveness, judgements etc. We have all experienced this, some firsthand within self and/or on the receiving end of another being. Nonetheless, the manner in which it is delivered is not really the issue at hand. The truth being touched upon here is the damage to the spirit when one is involved in this form of energy exchange. It is said that, "there is nothing to control, it is only a state of being...." My heart tells me this is true and as a present, loving spiritual being here on this earth plane to experience the human experience - it does seem fitting that there would have to be moments where both of the energy components within us would need to find their own means of healthy expression. The key though, is to recognize and support the "healthy expression" of both our own masculine and feminine qualites all awhile honouring the balance that resides within that very sacred dynamic. My sweet precious friend whom ended our conversation with , "it is just so fundamentally male", is being honoured and showered with gratitude tonight for her profound awareness and insight. I acknowledge this gift of truth that those words have brought forth for all to contemplate; for truly when there IS a balance, there is nothing to control! My prayer for all in this moment, is for a space of silence in which to bath and cleanse our souls free; to embrace the responsibility that lays within the gifting of any wisdom which is always, "the ability to respond" ... may your beings be surrounded and engulfed within the light of the very balanced holy spirit as you lay your heads down to rest tonight ... god bless to all - apachebluemoon

you are greater than any of your actions

... you can transcend all things that you have had done and participated in doing ...

HOW is this accomplished one might ask when so many of us live in a world that appears to be richly laden with memories of uncertainty and deep rooted misunderstandings of experiences gone bad! Are these just words and guidance of good intent or can there really be truth to this profound release of bondage to the heart?
As mystics and ancient wise ones have taught for eternity ... yes - all of this IS more than just a figment of a crazy person's imagination. Sacred Love begins inside ... self love is a process of rediscovering what has never been destroyed. It is the dance with ones' essence that has awaited and called us all, some more than others. A truer source of strength is generated within us all when there is a change of perception. This movement is the connection that guides and allows the gentle flow into ones' union with the true, divine spiritual source ... the void that contains the sum of all god, right here, right now in this very moment of present time and heavenly presence ....
The choice, as always, is ours! My prayer for the day is to recognize that beautiful opportunity of newness that calls your name; the one that invites you in to savour perhaps a different thought, or gesture that will invoke a deeper connection and meaning to who you truly are ... no need to fear the unknown, you are loved and the world awaits your gift, your smile, your serving!!! love and blessings ... apachebluemoon
