The man at the markets
I just want to tell you a little story tonight. Every couple of weeks I attend my local markets in Bowen, Queensland, Australia (a delightful place by the way *smile*) to sign books and pass on some faery magic. It is a morning filled with light work, sometimes I just sit there all day drawing, knitting, talking...whatever seems to be the order of the day.
The markets are run by a community organisation which does amazing and fantastic work with the community, and in particular, is organised by one man.
Every week this man is a delight, he makes me laugh with his cheeky leprechaun ways. I often spend the morning listening to his banter and shenanigans, hearing his booming voice all over the market place. He always has a joke, a positive comment, a story to tell. Always he is happy, always his eyes are laughing, always he brings such joy, just by being him.
I draw angels and faeries and all sorts of other magical beings as the mood takes me and as they present themselves in my heart with the urge to draw them on the page. Sometimes I may draw four or five in a sitting, sometimes I will go for weeks without drawing a single one. It is a guarantee though, that every time I speak with this man, a magical being will pop straight into my head and insist on being drawn. He brings so much light, that it is impossible to resist *laugh*
This week, he came to collect the fees, and among his usual banter and jokes, he confesses he has recently been with family, one of whom has cancer and is dying...I was stunned a little. Even though his heart is hurting, and his contract involved this pain, he chose to continue being a delight and a bringer of light. I looked him in the eye (really looked) and saw his pain etched there and yet, he smiled at me and then continued on his merry way bringing laughter to others.
What an amazing being, what an honour to know someone like this, and a total joy to be in his company.
The point of this story, other than to share the knowledge of this beautiful being, is to show that all we really have to do, all that is ever asked of us, is to shine out light on the world, to be authentically us, to embrace and love no matter how much we may be hurting and sometimes even because we are hurting. By doing so, we inspire others to shine their own light.
With love and light

A simple message of love and rememberance
I have had a massive day today filled with love and light work. I am really, really tired and am going to (very shortly *smile*) honour my body's request for sleep.
So today, just a really quick message, one that has been rolling around in my head all day, and which I suspect, will not leave my thoughts until it is written down:
Remember that we are ALL divine beings with a will and a birthright of joy, love and laughter. Sometimes, the contract we sign is misinterpreted or forgotten in translation, things seem to go wrong and we may find ourselves in a dark place. The only thing holding us there, in these moments is our choice to remain. I am not inferring that we can just make a snap decision NOT to be in a place living a certain life, and then we wake up the next day and we are not (although, just quietly between you and I, I think it may just be possible and I haven't figured out the how yet *smile* when I do I'll be sure to fill you in). What I AM saying is that each decision we make for a positive and love filled life takes us one step closer to making this a reality; each time we choose a path of authenticity and integrity, we get closer; each moment brings this reality into being through a focus of will and positive choices. It is never too late, no one is ever too far gone, and there is always hope that the next moment will be better than the one preceding.
I feel a lot of people's pain and anxiety and hopelessness throughout the world tonight. If you are one of the people in a bit of a dark spot, and you are reading this...hold on, just wait for the next moment, focus ALL of your will on finding the beautiful and the positive even if, at this point in time, you only see it for a second or two. The first and hardest hurdle is done, everything else becomes easier from here on it...believe.
With love and light

The "No complaints" policy
Well, I feel slightly hypocritical writing this post today since I am as likely to fall into this trap as anyone else. It is however, something I am working on, and something I actively teach my students and my own children. So, while I may not be an adept at this particular skill, I do feel it is definitely worthwhile passing it on to you all *smile*
The "No complaints" policy is a commitment to yourself to avoid complaining about your life, your situation, the things people "do to" you or around you. There is healthy venting where you are able to relieve some of the pressure of unfavourable situations by "off loading" that baggage to the universe....and then there is complaining. Deep in our hearts, we ALL know the difference *laugh*
The minute you complain, you are inadvertently giving the people or situation power over you. You are tacitly agreeing to be a victim who has absolutely NO control over your life and YOUR actions, and you are agreeing that nothing can be done. You are saying to the universe, "I am powerless" and "I take no responsibility for my own choices, actions and life." Ooooops! I know that this is not what is intended when each of us opens our mouth to utter a complaint, it is however, what actually happens *sad face*
As a light worker, as a divine and miraculous being, we actually never have to be a victim, that's a choice, albeit, usually a subconscious one.
This is not to say you cannot discuss your dissatisfaction with someone or with a situation, you are not required to be a martyr either. What this means is, that we need to look for a positive way in which to express our feelings and opinions; this means not verbally attacking; this means offering solutions as well as pointing out the difficulties; this means expressing yourself with love for the people and the situations; this is speaking your truth from your heart WITHOUT judgement. The judgement I guess makes all the difference between highlighting something that requires some changes, and complaining.
I started this journey with affirmations I said to myself whenever I caught myself in the act of complaining such as:
I am strong and confident and I believe in my inner power to solve all issues.I release my need to complain about people, places and situations.I love all people for the divine within them.I just keep repeating these for as long as it takes to remove myself from the urge to complain.
Give yourself a gift, let go of the need to criticise and complain. Instead, embrace the power to speak truth without judgement and to love all beings for the divine within them.

Tell people you love them
It is SO easy to walk through the world and live our lives, with amazing and wonderful and supportive people around you...and NOT remember to tell them what they mean to you. The "regret" I hear from people most often, is a regret for things left unsaid.
It is REALLY important to let people know how you feel about them; to tell them they are special to you, that they are your "rock" that they helped you out of a jam, that they are always there when you need them, that they make you laugh, that they are a comfort by their very presence, that they are a delight to work with....whatever it may be, and no matter how great or small the act, the association, etc...take a moment to let people know what they mean to you and how they make a difference in your life.
I have people in my life I value immensely, and I make it a policy to tell them often how much I love them and appreciate the gift of their friendship...aside from expressing a genuine gratitude, your words also provide a gift in themselves; people ALWAYS love hearing that they make a difference (after all, that's why we're all here isn't it?)
Let people know you love and appreciate them and the gift is two fold.
With love and light (and a great appreciation for all the amazing and beautiful souls who are reading this right now)

Sometimes it's tempting....
Sometimes it is tempting to just give up, to decide that it is all too hard, to stop the journey and decide to be the same as everyone else. I'll admit, there have been times when I have caught my brain telling me, "Wasn't life easier before you opened your awareness? Wasn't it better when you could fight fire with fire when it comes to people being horrible? Wasn't it just awesome when you got some pay back?" and other such inane things *smile* My brain is not all that imaginative I'm afraid *laugh*
The answer of course is "No," it wasn't and isn't easier at all, moments seemed to be, but my heart knows the agony of guilt I punish myself with when I am awful to someone no matter how much they seemed to "deserve" it. My heart knows that I laboured under depression so black it seemed like I was sinking in quick sand. My heart knows that the path to TRUE happiness, while not always easy, is far more lasting and beautiful than a momentary satisfaction.
Naturally, knowing all of these things doesn't always make situations appear easier when they seem a little hard. *smile*
There is one thing that ALWAYS helps though.....hope.
"When the world says 'give up' hope whispers, 'try one more time'"
This is something we can hold on to when it seems the journey is tough or at a bit of a stand still. We just have to try...just one more time!
With love and light

Perception is EVERYTHING!
I was reminded again today, and in fact I am often reminded of this concept, that the way we view the world, the way we perceive people, places and situations, will MOST DEFINITELY determine what we receive and the lessons we take.
It's not just as simple as seeing the glass half full....that's really only the surface. Teenagers are really great educators, the lessons they deliver though, can be a little more than you bargain for. There is one particular person I work with who is certain that our students are "delinquents" and that there is nothing else that can be done for them. My first response is, "What is your basis of comparison?" since the ones I am working with now are some of the best behaved students I have taught; but more to the point, the answer is, "Of course they are!" No matter what you expect, you WILL get it. Needless to say, the students show their less angelic side to this person ALL the time, they are intuitive, and know what is expected of them, and they dutifully fit that mould. The same students are beautiful for me most days. I walk up to every lesson and greet them with "Good morning/afternoon cherubs" and guess what? They show their angelic side. I make no bones about my expectations, and am VERY clear on the consequences for not meeting those consequences. Intuitively, students KNOW...and they meet my expectations.
No matter what the situation, no matter who or what it involves, you WILL get what you expect from it/them. So why not keep on expecting (NOT wishing...EXPECTING...there's a big difference) the very best?

What are you "buying in" to?
There are so many things in this universe that we actually DON"T have to participate in if we simply CHOOSE not to, and yet, time and time again, we either don't realise there is a choice, complain about the situation, or choose to be a part of a situation we loath????????
I think the main reason is that most people really don't have a clear understanding of the concept of choice and free will. We are ALL gifted with the ability to make decisions and choices about every facet of our existence, we choose the life we are currently leading, we choose the impact of ALL situations on us, and most importantly...we are the only ones who can choose differently for ourselves.
Let me give you a "for instance" *smile*
There are some people I don't particularly enjoy working with, I really don't find that we have a lot in common and our views of the world are SO conflicting that finding the similarities becomes an exercise in futility at times. One of these people has chosen to view this situation as a threat to her and immediately has gone on the defensive. She chooses to say nasty things about me behind my back, attempts regularly to manipulate myself, others and situations in order to attempt to make me look bad or incompetent, and she makes decisions that could, should I allow them to be, be quite detrimental to me and to my work. My choice? I don't buy it! I want NO part of the nastiness, I CHOOSE to ignore the veiled insults and the snide remarks, I refuse to get into the slam sessions with others experiencing the same situations, and I choose to move about the world without acknowledging any of the things she says or does which have a negative intent. Should I have chosen otherwise, and chosen to take her actions and her opinions of me personally, or even allowed myself to get on the defensive and to "put her back in her place" so to speak...well then, I am choosing her game with her rules, a game I have NO chance of winning and which has every chance of impacting on my sense of personal integrity and the work that I do. Any one who joins her in her slam sessions of me, very quickly finds themselves on the same list as she is on...that is the list of things I don't really care about *laugh*
I CHOOSE not to allow the actions, opinions, deeds and responses have anything to do with me. I CHOOSE freedom from being a slave to the impressions and actions of others. Quite simply, I CHOOSE not to care.
With love and light, and the knowledge that everything is a choice)

Wear an attitude for the day...
So a new game at school today...yep, that's right, a life lesson heading their way *smile* One of the parts of this job I love the most, the lessons learnt while I'm not even teaching! *laugh*
It was a BIG weekend in our small little town, as you may know from a post a couple of days ago, we had a massive community event. Monday today, and everyone seems really tired, snappy and irritable (myself included if I'm honest) and there were some unpleasant moments in my first class where the students had little to no patience with each other and just snapped a little.
I decided we would play a game instead of "learning", after all, it was only a 35 minute lesson, and we had already used 10 of that 'calming down'. So I asked my senior students to imagine their attitude like a suit of clothing. I dared them to put their attitude "on" and see if they could wear it all lesson no matter what. Seems easy right? Being the type of day it seemed to be, given that they were all tired, most of the students took up the challenge and decided they were going to be in a bad mood since that's where they all were anyway. They figured they had a licence then to be nasty, snappy and irritable. (Trust me when I say I had a hard time keeping a straight face at this point) My students also dared me to "try on" a mood. I told them I would go with the flow, and be in a cranky mood too. There were a few uncertain looks at this point, since some of them have had experience of what it can be like when you put Miss Roberts in a bad mood....that doesn't end well.
Dutifully, students started snapping at each other, taking little pot shots at each other, generally being mean, however, it was bordering on the ridiculous. I had to tell several of them off for laughing (after all, this was not keeping to the challenge of maintaining the mood they themselves had CHOSEN). So we carried on in this fashion for the rest of the lesson. Towards the end of the lesson, as I was once again telling someone off for "changing their mood clothing", one particular student said, "This is really hard Miss." Keeping in role, I snapped, "What is?" The student laughed at me and said, "It's really hard to stay in a bad mood when you know you have chosen to be in one."
BINGO! That was the opening I was waiting for, and they didn't let me down, gorgeous souls. *smile* We then had about a minute or two's discussion about the fact that ALL moods are a CHOICE. You can pick and choose your mood/attitude like a set of clothes. You will find, that choosing the drab, cheap fabrics of a "bad mood" soon leaves you feeling really uncomfortable and unattractive, whereas choosing the bright, soft, well made fabrics of positivity and kindness stays comfortable all day! The best part of this lesson is what I call the "gossip/tell-tale"affect. By the end of first break, everyone in the school knew about the game and were trying on their attitudes and their mood *laugh* I love it when they teach each other....SO much more effective.
Your mood is a CHOICE! You can pick the mood fabric you wrap yourself in and wear around all day.

The language of the universe
Today my four year old light worker was teaching me a game. In this game, he had names for all the things we were using and he was attempting to teach me this new language. I cannot tell you nay of it, because the words were so complex and he's not here to remind me (tucked up in dream land *smile*) but he NEVER got them wrong, never mixed them up or changed them around, he was quite simply speaking another language. He does this often, and when people ask me about it, I just shrug my shoulders and tell them he's speaking pixie *laugh*
I asked him though, "What language are you speaking?" He replied, "The language of the universe Mum." With a tone of voice that suggested I may possibly be the slowest witted person on the face of the earth, as only four year old's can pull off with impunity. *laugh*
Upon further clarification, he informed me that the universe doesn't pay attention to sound, it only hears whats in your heart and in your head, so it really doesn't matter what sounds you use, so you may as well make them fun and silly. He said it a bit simpler than that, but this was his intent.
WOW!
You know as adults we make things overly complex!
It is simple, the sounds we use, the language we speak are not what impacts upon us the most, it is the pureness of thought, the passion in our hearts and the things we think the most about that the universe delivers more of.
Thanks for that reminder four year old! If you're making things too complex, ask a child what they would do, you'd be amazed at how insightful their response will be and you'll wonder why you didn't think of it yourself *smile*

My AMAZING ninjas
WOW! So I have just dragged myself home from my school's bi-yearly musical production. It is a mammoth effort including over 50 students from across the school (not a bad effort since we are a VERY small school) and quite a few staff as well. It's been a little tense at rehearsals, with people being really cranky, stressed and snappy at each other. The back stage crew (the ninjas *smile*) and I (The ginger ninja *laugh*) decided out environment was to be stress free. If we made a mistake, we fixed it and then payed out on each other unmercifully for it, if we started to stress, we stopped and "ninja breathed", that is lifted our hands from the earth drawing energy to our solar plexus, the on the exhale, pushing our hands away to release everything to the universe. We even surrounded a cast member who had a serious attack of the nerves and taught her to "ninja breathe". We laughed, carried on, participated in multiple shenanigans, and STILL managed to get the job done. Pretty soon, we found ourselves surrounded by cast wanting "in" on the fun. The ninjas (teenagers remember) wanted to be exclusive and not let the cast join in since there had been some unpleasantness and arrogance from a couple of members of the cast towards us. But, I managed to convince them to embrace all who wanted to join us, and that way, we'd ALL be having fun. I even instructed the ninjas to go around with lollipops before the performance and give them to the cast with their blessing and a wish for a great performance.
So in short, today a whole group of teenagers learnt about the law of attraction (what you put out to the universe is what you will attract. They learnt about being the person who forgave and embraced and the beauty and power of that moment. They learnt that to dance, sing and be silly were not only great, but thoroughly beneficial in ANY situation. Finally they learnt how to breathe deeply to calm the nerves (I even watched them teach members of the cast how to do this without my instruction.
So, in a matter of a few hours, these amazing people learnt how to live from love and through their heart and then passed that lesson on to others.
I am such a proud "ninja" in this moment *smile*
When life's tough and a little stressful, or you're being met with a bit of nastiness when you're only trying to help...laugh, sing, play, forgive and embrace.
With love and light
