Exponential curve of learning

Today was an amazing day...all days are amazing actually, but this one surpassed amazing into...ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! So, let me tell you why...

I am currently on "holidays" in a major city. For me (and I know travel does this to a lot of people) it actually means I am exposed to a lot of other people's energy, away from my home base and safe place, have the 'travel stress', feel some obligation to visit people or not, to be somewhere or not, to fit everything in to......blah...well, you know....I actually feel it is more of a holiday to stay at home most of the time, especially when I am travelling with a four year old.

Today, I woke the teenage light worker before 12 midday, I will wait for your gasp of surprise and shock *laugh* and managed to actually have him and the four year old, dressed, ready, fed and in the car by 9.30am (I know right...I am a worker of miracles) Then we headed off to visit an amazing, beautiful light worker friend of mine who also happens to write spectacular children's stories and colouring books. Being good Friday, we actually got stopped in traffic for quite some way. I was taking BIG deep, cleansing breaths *laugh* They weren't big enough. The gremlins were attacking from all sides, my blood pressure rose as I felt the travel stress of the people in cars around me as the impatiently pushed, and cursed. I felt the teenagers anger at being awake so early and his impatience and frustration at being in the car. The four year old started to act aggressively and be argumentative and meanwhile, I am breathing deeply, calming myself, sending out love energy...slowly, but surely my blood pressure rose higher and higher.

I sent out a thought, "Chamuel, please help us all to get where we are going safely, with patience and guidance, Michael help me cut these cords, Raphael help me stay calm, centred and free from stress, and for God's sake Gabrielle, help me with the four year old." I focused on breathing for a bit longer. The teenager went to sleep...phew...one down...the four year old started counting...phew, that made two....people started to feel more patient in the surrounding cars and there was less horn honking, illegal overtaking and cursing...phew...getting there. I then told the four year old to remove his gremlins. we discussed and new "Imagineering" technique we had learnt from my beautiful light worker friend, the "gremlinator" or "Gremlin transmuter" basically it works when you feed all those negative gremlin feelings into it and they transform into love energy to be released. My body sucked those gremlins in, helped them to change and then "spat" them back out again as love, the four year old did the same thing. We worked hard and just kept it up the whole way through the traffic. We said thank you for the traffic jam that allowed us the time we needed to finish the job before we got to my friend's house...YAY!

We then spent an indulgent, luxurious amazing time wandering around the garden of these beautiful people, talking, eating their home grown, love filled food and swapping energy, stories, learning and continuing to transmute those gremlins into love...yahooo!!!!!

These events, while awesome, were not the highlight...yes! There's more!

In the car on the way home I had the most engaging, awesome and fantastic conversation with my light worker teenager as he begins to consciously practise arts he has always done but not been aware of. We shared learning, understandings and wonderful energy as he joined the team! I tried not to jump up and down and do a magic faery dance, after all, I was driving *laugh* but I was so excited to watch his growth and experience the learning we both have enjoyed over the past few days.

When things go wrong

I was thinking yesterday about what happens when things go wrong, meaning not in the way we may have planned or intended. It is really easy to say to someone who is having this difficulty, "But there is a lesson for you to learn, or perhaps this is the way it was meant to be," However, if you are the person who is facing the difficult road and experiencing the discomforts, none of these sayings actually provide much comfort or help out in the situation.


For instance, yesterday I flew with my 4 year old from North Queensland where we live, to visit my oldest son in Brisbane. We woke at 6am in order to get to the airport 2 hours drive away, the required hour before departure time at 11am. We arrived at the airport just after 10am and settled in with a snack box and a few stories to wait out the hour. Just for a bit of background information, the four year old has been counting down the days till he sees his big brother for about a month; he was terribly excited and therefore was having some difficulty being patient and sitting still. "It's only an hour to wait, then an hour and a half flight, we'll be fine" I was thinking to myself.
We board the aircraft, all is well. We seemed to be waiting a really long time to taxi onto the runway. This is a really small airport with only two flights a day, so I knew we weren't waiting our turn at the runway. The pilot comes over the intercom and informs us there is a slight technical difficulty and they were waiting on the civil aviation authority to give them clearance to fly. next thing we all know, we are being disembarked with apologies and the hope the problem would be rectified soon. OK, so now we were facing a four hour delay with a tired and excited four year old...still manageable, can still find ways to make this work without us both going a bit crazy. i offered up a silent thank you to my team for helping the crew see the problem before we were air born (could have been a far worse scenario) and settled in to wait. As the time dragged on and there seemed to be no solution forth coming, the little on being more and more affected by the stress energy of all of the people around us and therefore being aggressive, and loud and rude, I began to feel a little of the stress myself.


I told myself that there was a message in this and all of those other things, but as you can imagine, it was not helping at the time. I had choices naturally. I could just jump on the blame band waggon with the other 100 or so passengers, this would have been easiest. However, I chose to offer up a silent wish for a resolution to the situation. I asked that everyone involved was kept calm, that there was a solution on the way that would keep everyone happy, that there was a way in which the four year old could be prevented from going supernova as I had run out of distraction and entertainment ideas (In my defence, it ended up being a 6 hour delay).


So what happened? I felt immediately calmer and felt the effects of everyone else's stress wash off me. A little girl came over and asked to play and read stories to my little one, thereby keeping them both distracted. The mother of this other child an I made eye contact and sighed in unison, knowing our babies were still safe under our watchful eyes, but happy in each others company, and to top it all off, we were able to board and be on our way not long after.


The lesson? Who knows *laugh* the reason? I don't need to know *smile* We stayed, we were calm, we were safe, the solution came to hand and now...we move on.


Thanks team for helping out, glad I could do whatever job it was I needed to do.

More surgery from the angelic realm...

Sometimes, as I am sitting there doing nothing, or sometimes something, I get this ringing in my ears and I tune out to the world around me. My mother actually had my hearing tested when I was little because she thought I had difficulty hearing. This never has discomforted me, or really inconvenienced me in any way shape or form. I thought this happened to everyone *smile* In the last few years, I consciously recognise these moments as the times when I am receiving "downloads" from my divine team. For a moment or two, I am there with them rather than they with me...awesome! 


I don't always "know" the information that has been downloaded at the time, however, later on I do something totally unexpected and have all of the information I require to do what's asked and then go..."Ahhhhh, so that was it." *laugh* Hey, at least I get it eventually!


I have had many of these moments lately, I think we are all being accelerated along our chosen paths and it is exciting and fantastic.


I'm getting to the point...don't worry *smile*


A few days ago, I saw a quote from Louise Hay that said, "I release the need to criticise, I am loving and accepting."


I smiled and felt all warm and fuzzy and awesome in that moment and went, "me too!" Then, download. I went off to work and being the last day of the term, my angels were a little human and unangelic and I found that on multiple occasions I was not only using some of my tried and tested responses to teenage negativity and criticisms of each other such as, "Just because you think it, doesn't mean it has to come out of your mouth," but also quite overtly saying, "repeat after me...I release the need to criticise, I am loving and accepting" This is not usually my style when working with these beautiful beings, I am generally far more subtle than that.


Later, when I got the "Ahhhhhh" moment, I realised that by making a commitment to this principle by agreeing and stating "Me too," I had opened the door for divine assistance in affirming this thought and feeling. All day I was given opportunities to repeat this thought over and over and watch as those beautiful beings processed and either responded or ignored it. In so doing, I was also undergoing my own angelic surgery in removing the parts of me that felt comfort, a need or just the humanness of criticising others.


Amazing how it works! Each time I write a post, I am reaffirming all those things I believe and know and am able to take another step forward, at the same time, others reading this post may have an, "Ahhh" moment and pass this info on to others, and then others, and then others.


Angels are so clever, they know we learn best by doing, and from each other. I am grateful for the ability to pass on what I discover and to learn from others.

Purging (again)

I am constantly reminded how when we are purging our physical space (cleaning and sorting and throwing out) we are also clearing away all the cords attached to those things and to the space. Our home space is really important, it is where we rest, recuperate and sleep...if for no other reason, this space needs to be cleared constantly. The great thing about cleaning is that it really requires no skills or specific set of instructions to do well (actually I believe this of all things relating to the spiritual...we don't need instructions, if it feels like the right thing to do, and it is done with love, then it is).


This morning, I woke with the feeling and insistent urging that it was time for a BIG clean. I sat down for my morning cup of tea and nearly had my toes bitten off by my little gremlin slayer, Whiskers. (If you'd like to read more about her, I wrote a post a couple of days ago relating to "My cat; the gremlin slayer) I got the hint; NOW!


I got out of my chair and began work. There was no system, no methodology, I went from room to room picking up, sorting out, throwing out, dusting and purging. Whiskers went with me "attacking" invisible things as we went. As I moved something away from the wall to clean behind it, she waited with the "I'm hunting" look on her little feline face. As soon as I moved the object far enough for her to squeeze in, in she went, dashing about madly, emerging after a few minutes covered in cobwebs and dust. In I went after her with broom, vacuum and mop. *laugh* it was such a fun game. 


After about 2 hours, the house was done (Since I have a small house and do this kind of clean every couple of months, we made short work of it)


My space feels SO much better, it smells of pine (I use pine oil, vinegar and water to clean) the warm autumn air has cleared out all the corners, (I live in the tropics), and I can sit down to type with a feeling of being refreshed and energised!


All things can carry attachments for us whether good or not so good. In the act of removing or rearranging the objects, we change our association with them. In doing this, we renew our contract and all past transactions go along with it. Each day I begin my contract anew, each night I cut ties to everything (even the positive things) that have happened during the day. Every few months, I purge my space and make sure there are no residual ties, gremlins lurking or negative energies around. 


This has made a HUGE difference in the way I feel in general. By choosing not to hold on to anything, it has made it far easier for me to let go of the need to totally control my life, and allow my divine team to assist me.

It's never too late...

There are so many things it is never too late for...


It is never too late to have the happiness and complete abandonment of childhood. It is so easy to let yourself slip into play, to laugh sing and be mischievous as a child. To run and jump, to love eating chocolate for breakfast, to chase butterflies, to finger paint, to eat your Milo with a spoon and put mountains of topping on a giant bowl of ice-cream. No matter what your "real" childhood was like, it is never too late to create the memories and experiences that make up a fantastic childhood. Try it out...the joy you can experience from a single moment of complete abandon and freedom in silliness is worth the little bit of embarrassment you might perceive.


It is never too late to follow the path of your dreams. No matter what stage of life you are at, no matter what has gone before...you CAN choose to change directions and make new decisions on the journey you would choose. In fact, a lot of these posts are about helping people to choose the path that suits them best.


It is never too late to ask the help of your divine team, to reconnect with the spiritual you and find the peace and beauty within yourself. To seek the truth and beauty of your own divine connection, and the trust and faith that you are protected always.


It is never too late for anything. 


If you can think of anything that you would choose to do, be or say, and the thought follows soon after, "It's too late..." well, it's NEVER too late. Chase down that dream, say what you need to say, do what you need to do...it is never too late

What are you focused on?

You know, one of the things that popped into my head yet again today was the thought that you get what you wish for....more accurately though, you get what you choose to focus on.


When you are caught in a situation that is not what you want, a job that does not suit you, a relationship that does not seem to be working, just on the wrong bus...whatever it is...there can be no solution to the problem, while you are focused on the fact that you have a problem.


If the only thing you can think about is the problem and the fact that you have one, and that it is unfair, unjust, untenable (whatever word applies to your situation) then your team, your divine self and the universe has no options open in helping you to find a solution!


There are some people in this world, who unfortunately for them, cannot see past the fact that there is  a problem...this is unfortunate because it means their whole attention and focus is on the problem...so, according to the laws of the universe, they will get more problems just like it. Whatever you focus your will and your mind on, is what you will receive more of!


What if, instead of focusing on, talking and thinking about, complaining about, railing against the fact that there is a problem, you asked your team to find a solution? What if you set yourself the task of asking and thinking about, talking about and writing about a solution to the problem rather than the problem itself?


Then, the universe will start making things happen, your team steps in (because you gave them permission) and, because you have switched focus to a favourable outcome rather than continuing to dwell on the problem itself...a solution appears, an opportunity to manage the situation arrives, "miraculously" the moment passes and you have barely felt a ripple.


This is a much better plan I believe, than focusing on a problem until it seems you are watching an approaching tsunami.


You have a choice about how you perceive the world and where you place your focus. Try focusing on solutions instead of problems and see the difference it can make to your life.

The next step...

One of the skills I was reminded of today, that has helped me to pass through moments that are less than pleasant, is to think only of what the next step is.


Instead of attempting to see into the future, or to manifest a distant reality, I think only of what I have to do next.


This "next" is sometimes, the next 30 minutes.


Sometimes, the "next" is the day, maybe it's the week or the month.


When I feel like I am stuck, like I have done everything that was in my heart to do, followed all the divine given impulses and then have no idea where to go from that point, focusing on just the next thing to do is a great way to move passed the moment and into the next one.


Everyone can focus on just one more step, and then one more, and then one more, until before you know it, the difficult time has passed and you can think about four or five steps at a time.


If you're stuck, just take one more step in the direction you want to head.

My cat; the gremlin slayer...

Sitting beside me as I work. Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.Recently (just a few months ago) this little fluffy, mostly black kitten wandered into my courtyard, ran up to me like I was an old friend, cuddled, meowed hello...and hasn't left since. Guess she picked us and decided she was now our cat.


We found her previous owner and offered to bring her home, the owner made all the "right" sounds, but never came to get the cat...definitely looking like the cat is here to stay. *wry grin*


After that initial moment of cuddles and affection, she has turned into a VERY different cat; and tonight, I finally figured out why.


Our animal companions are great healers (this has been well documented) and often contract to come and help us. (Please refer back to a post called "Tigs the Cat" for an example of this in action.) So, with this in mind, I asked this cat what her name was/is and who she had come for. I got that flat look that cats are really good at, and absolutely cold silence. "Not me then," I thought to myself.


As time has progressed, she has systematically ripped my legs and arms to shreds, attacking me every time I walk past her, and even at times hunting me out. She has sat on the back of the couch and bitten my neck as though she is a panther dragging away her kill...she doesn't play...she HUNTS! To no one else does she behave this way, no one else is attacked, no one else is woken in the night with claws in the back...so what's with this cat???????


Well, as it turns out, she is here for me.


We all carry bits of negative energy around sometimes, and we have ties, cords and connections to people acting negatively...I call these things gremlins. When the cat "whiskers" (named by the 4 year old) attacks me, she is taking those negative bits...I only noticed it today as she sat about thirty centimetres away from me all day randomly biting me. I had a pain in my hip, she bit me in the place I had pain several times. Then I noticed the pain was gone. She bit my legs, my arms, my shoulders...and now...I feel better, a LOT better.


My cat is not a nice, gentle, comforting healer...she's a gremlin slayer, the Van Helsing of the gremlin world...


Thanks whiskers


How awesome is this world!

The blessing of a moment

Feeling a little low and unenergised, I decided to nourish my soul with M&M's and a Julia Roberts movie (Eat Pray Love)...this was an amazingly fantastic idea except I ended up crying...well why not? Healing and nourishing the same as the chocolate and the film are. Then, I decided I wasn't writing a post today since I didn't feel inclined to do so, nor did I feel I had anything valuable to say, so I decided instead to look at my emails...this is what I read...



Good Morning (or perhaps afternoon) beautiful Lady!Just wanted to take a minute to let you know how incredibly special, beautiful, wonderful, amazing, talented, extraordinary, stupendous, comforting, angelic, creative, intelligent, enlightening, fabulous, great, funny, ingenious, and a billion other cool things that you are!!!!Hope you are having a terrific dayLove youoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
This gift, broke the dam! Cried till there was/is nothing left, then cried a bit more.
I lifted my head, took a deep breath and gave thanks for the beauty of the world, the amazingness of divine timing, the sensitivity of those around me, and the wonder of a few, simple words.
I remembered instantly...this is but a moment...and it can't last forever, nothing can.
I feel rested, cleansed and perfectly whole.
I would love for you to copy and paste these words and pass them forward, email them to a friend, tell them to a loved one, feel them and then pass them on. So, I pass this gift to all of you; I want to remind you that you are beautiful, amazing, wonderful and divine. 
With loving gratitude, 
with humble thanks

Life and an interesting Math theorem

As I drive passed the small (but awesome) service station in my home town, i always take the time to read the sign they have out the front. Each day, the have a saying written on a chalk board that makes me laugh, or go "ahhh" each time. What a blessing to give to the town?


Today's saying was..."Life's not always fair, but it's still good."


What an AMAZING gift to give the community today! I laughed, went "ahh" and also said, "ABSOLUTELY." It is terribly easy to lay blame, focus on the "unfairness" and be constantly angry with and at the world. It is infinitely better for ourselves, and those around us to enjoy all the bits we can and focus on that.


Had some rather special moments lately, some interesting encounters with people and some really "good reasons," to feel angry and annoyed. I made myself sit down when I got home with a pen and paper and actually calculate the time I spent during those "moments" this week (It's the math teacher in me *smile*). So let's see...


Each week has 24 x 7 hours, which = 168 hours.


I spent 7 x 9 hours of that sleeping (on average) which = 63 hours, leaving 105 hours remaining.


Are you with me so far? Awesome! (You can see where I'm going with this can't you? *laugh*)


I spent approximately 5 hours in total engaged in these interesting "moments", leaving...


100 hours of awesomeness left in the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love math and the ability of cold hard numbers to give me a bit of a wake up call! Who can complain about 2.976% of not so pleasant time in comparison to 97.023% of AWESOMENESS?


Hope this helps you, I call this the "wake up to yourself Roxanne, theorem."
