Consequence for action
*Takes a great big, deep, healing and cleansing breath*
That feels better!
I was confronted today by a concept I take for granted, however, was stunned to find I may be in the minority.
One of the key principles I vowed I would teach my own children is the fact that EVERY action has a consequence. It is a cause and affect type of thing...in this, intentions are irrelevant...
Those harsh words that were intended as a joke....actually hurtful, mean and made someone feel bad even though it may not have been intended.
Running through a crowded area because you were in a hurry...bowled over another person and they received a physical injury which of course was never intended.
Speak rashly and harshly to another person because you have had a bad day...hurt, betrayal and possibly loss of that person's trust, definitely not what was intended.
These are quite obvious examples.
What I was confronted with today, were people choosing to make or accept excuses for the unintentional outcomes or the consequences of someone's actions and therefore, not actually participate in ensuring this message sunk in.
My heart hurts for these people. A basic principle I use to guide my life direction and my actions is forethought to the consequences in terms of the affect on others. I'm not perfect at it obviously, however, along with love and forgiveness, this is the third most important driving principle. In enabling others to make excuses for their behaviour rather than accepting that they made a mistake and therefore accept the consequences, they are teaching these people that it is OK to be totally self serving, that your own needs and rights are actually MORE important than the needs and rights of anyone else rather than equal, that no matter the action, if you can come up with a good enough excuse, then there are (or shouldn't be) any consequences because you, "Didn't mean it" or "Couldn't help it." Why teach anyone this kind of victim mentality when you could empower them by teaching them to own their choices, take consequences when they arise with love and forgiveness, to take control of their actions and reap the rewards of being able to choose your own direction????
I would love to hear your thoughts on this one, perhaps I am a little black and white on this issue?
The way I see it, live it and experience it is to KNOW that every action I take creates an affect and causes a consequence; both good and less than positive. In knowing this, I CHOOSE my actions and take control of my destiny.

Feeling rather than thinking
Lately, as I have written these posts, I have "had " to wait until quite late at night in order to "find the time" to do it undisturbed. I was thinking about this tonight as I sat down after having a conversation with a light worker friend of mine about how "tired" we were feeling from all of the "work" we had been doing. We were both having a few problems in processing language, tired enough to slur words, to have to ask for a lot of things to be repeated or stated in a different way in order to understand them. Yet, as I sit down to type this post, and it is later again, it seems I have absolutely no trouble what-so-ever in using language!?! Strange????
Not really.
When we are fully "switched on" so to speak, there is always the chance of our human nature interpreting and placing different meaning on the conversations that we have with our divine team. A rested brain will easily dismiss something as coincidence if you're not on the look out for it, or even tell you that you're imagining the whole thing. The "tired" brain, especially mine I have found *laugh* does not go to any effort to sabotage me. So, when I am writing these posts, I operate solely on feeling. I am most certainly not thinking about my use of language or writing excellent prose (I'll wait for a minute for the gasp of surprise*smile), all I am doing is writing whatever comes in to my head in the moment I sit down, acting as it were, as a conduit of information.
I find now that when I try too hard, it is actually my human brain at work rather than me listening to the messages of my divine team. If I am well rested (a state I most definitely prefer by the way) and I want to have a conversation with my team, I go into my garden and potter around for a bit, pulling a weed here, checking for ripe fruit there, just sitting and looking mostly. I go off into what I like to call "pixie land", babies do it a lot, staring at nothing with glazed over eyes...it's a bit like that. In this way, human nature and human thinking brain switches off; divinely inspired, feeling brain switches on and the conversation begins!
If you are finding that the messages and signs you seem to be getting are a little contradictory or not quite in sync, perhaps your human brain is interfering a little and trying to "think" your way through rather than feel and use your intuition. Sit and stare at some flowers for a bit *laugh* or find some other way to switch off that thinking brain, you may find this will help.

Time Out
Flying puppy friendSo you may have noticed that I haven't been posting for a couple of days? Well, I was in "Time out." *laugh* No, really, I was!
If you're not familiar with the concept of "time out" it occurs when someone (usually a child) chooses an action that is not in harmony with those around them, and they are then asked to sit on their own and think about their choice in actions and how they may have handled the situation differently.
For the last couple of days, I have been in "time out," not because anyone, or even my divine team sent me to "time out;" not a punitive action at all. This was a self imposed (well mostly) time out.
Guinea Pig AngelI sat down to write a post a couple of days ago and had...nothing, you could hear the crickets chirping it was that silent...absolutely nothing! This is not because I had nothing to say, I ALWAYS have SOMETHING to say *laugh* I just wasn't getting any assistance in that moment.As it turns out, I was in time out for a purpose. All day today I have done one thing...draw!
I am constantly in awe of the amazing and inspiring nature of our youth; and definitely not more so than right now.

The Veggie ArmyAs a part of the National Year of Reading Campaign, each of the local libraries in the Whitsundays held a story writing contest for children. I was honoured to be able to not only read all of their stories, but also illustrate the winning entry as well...so, for the last two days I have been completely immersed in "Imagination Land" with the children who wrote these stories.Just to give you a bit of an idea about what is so inspiring, these are some of the concepts covered in the stories I read (remember these are children authors from about age 5 to 13)...
Friends will help each other no matter whatPositive thoughts make things happenMagic comes from our amazing animal friendsEvery action has a consequenceVegetables are best "enemies" with candy Being yourself is really important and helps you succeed (awesome right?)If you fail at something, just try again.We all have different strengths and weaknessesImagination is where the magic begins...and the list just keeps going!!!!!!!!!
I rest soundly tonight knowing our future is safe in the hands of these beings.

Angelic Surgery
As you know, from reading yesterday's post, I had a bit an ordinary day yesterday where I chose to be VERY human instead of following the path I willingly choose for myself.
Now that I have had some time to reflect, I have come to some understandings about this situation and just maybe, a strategy for reducing the likelihood of this kind of day again. *crosses her fingers*
You see there is a person in my life who I perceive to be seeking opportunities to trap me into being human, to judge, to retaliate, to get frustrated and angry and fearful and all of those other human things. This is not someone I can just walk away from or steer clear of. I found myself devoting an awful lot of time to thinking about this person, to dwelling on how they had done me an injustice and treated me badly...in effect, I gave their choice of actions complete power over my well being and state of being. Not only that (and perhaps worst of all) I invited others to join in by relaying stories about what had happened and asking (although not actually asking) others to sympathise with me and help me to justify these feelings *cringe*
As I lay down to sleep last night, I felt a little disappointed in myself for falling into this trap, I went to sleep safe in the knowledge that my divine team would help me to better deal with this situation in an angelic and divine manner rather than in a human one, and that I was forgiven for any actions I may have taken that did not reflect the way I truly feel.
I spoke at length to a beautiful light worker friend who assisted me in seeing what I was doing to contribute to the situation and then I had the same conversation with my divine team. As I lay down and relaxed into sleep, going through my routine of love giving and listing all of the things I was grateful for, I added the thought that I would like to remove/fix/heal the part of me that seemed to need someone to "whinge" about.
As I drifted off, I imagined I was drifting into an anaesthetic slumber the same as if I was having an operation. I visualised the surgical scrubs of my divine team and "heard" the discussion of my divine team as they spoke in 'medical' terms about the removal of a harmful set of "cells" that were not assisting me and about the healing 'procedure' they would perform. As I slept, I knew that the healing and understanding would begin. That through this visualisation, I would have effectively "removed" and cut all ties to the part of me that had chosen to relay negativity and give permission for judgement to myself and others.
I woke this morning feeling a little raw, and feeling the need to be gentle with myself today and the universe seems to reflect that feeling with a gentle, cleansing rain falling softly outside the window. I have pottered in my garden, planted seeds, pulled up weeds, self talking healing as I went.
I gave permission for someone else to affect my well being, I chose to play a part in giving someone else's choice of action power over me, I held on to feelings of judgement and fear and invited others to participate. I also made a choice to change my perception and asked for the help of my divine team to heal and to withdraw permission.
Gee I feel good today!
If this situation is one you are familiar with, perhaps this strategy may help you to cut all ties to actions that you view to be less than helpful? Ask yourself what you are "buying into", what it is about the situation that has led to your response and then ask your team to heal that with you.

Just breathe
OK, so today was not necessarily one of those dream filled, blissful and angelic kind of days...in fact, it may be describes as completely the opposite kind of day. However, through these situations comes the opportunity to learn and grow...phew.
I had a bit of a frustrating kind of day where the whole world seemed slightly out of sync with me. (How rude! *laugh*) Not enough to really shift my mood, but just enough that at times, I had to work at being happy, positive me.
The way I could maintain calm today was to focus on my breathing whenever I felt an anger urge come over me. I'm human, so, I get angry and frustrated at situations I cannot control. I sometimes forget everything I know about living my chosen path and being the most divine me I can be. Thank fully, I have practised the art of just stopping, taking a few really deep breaths that completely fill my lungs, and with each breath out, I release the ties to all of the things that are frustrating me. I simply move those experiences from me that are not in harmony with the way I choose to feel, and breathe in magic, light and love energy.
This really simple act, that can be done anywhere and at any time, made the difference between me screaming with rage and frustration, and having a pretty good day despite some annoyances.
With love and light (and a big deep breath)

The world through tinted glasses
You know (and I don't know why) I have often been accused of viewing the world through "Rose coloured glasses" and "sticking my head in the sand" when it comes to the "realities" of the world! *Laugh* My answer to these would be accusers is..."So?"
If I have the choice, and I most certainly do, then I choose to view the world tinted and shaded with joy, love and beauty. I choose not to dwell on negative experiences for longer than the moment it takes me to get away from them. I choose to see the beauty and potential each person and every transaction holds for me; to see the learning and the gifts rather than the pain or embarrassment. I choose to see the world through glasses tinted with feelings of love and forgiveness, to revel in the joyous moments and have faith and trust that the not so pleasant moments will soon pass. I choose to be me, to love me and to move forward fearlessly to achieve the goals, dreams and follow the path I have chosen for me.
I refuse to let the opinion of others colour the way I see and experience this glorious life. I refuse to acknowledge those who dwell in their ego and act from thoughts of revenge or hate. I refuse to allow people to drag me into their judgements and I refuse the opportunity to judge them in turn for their actions.
In short...."I reject your reality and substitute my own" (I love the Myth Busters *grin*)
Do you know what happens to me because I make these choices?
I live a life that is filled with the joy and happiness I choose to see. I get more of what I focus on the most. I spend my time feeling loved, protected and safe. I know that I am a special and unique soul and I am filled with my sense of purpose, rejecting hopelessness, despair, guilt and aimlessness.
It's a joy to be me.
What do you choose?
It is not a rejection of "the real world", "naive" or "sticking your head in the sand" to choose joy and positivity over nastiness and negativity...it is a conscious act of will that makes "reality" the way you choose it to be.

Helplessness
Helplessness is not a nice feeling; whether it is feeling helpless at being able to do something for your own situation, or worse (for me anyway) feeling helpless to give assistance to someone you love.
Firstly, my divine team wants me to tell everyone that we are never alone, and no matter how helpless we are led to feel, or how hopeless a situation seems, there is always hope and help at hand. Even if the only help available is the strength to pass through the moment or moments leading you to the feeling.
When I feel helpless, I fall immediately back on a conversation with my divine team. I ask their help, I ask for strength and understanding and I ask if there is in fact anything that I can do. I always get an answer when I ask for one and if I sit still for a moment, putting aside fear and anxiety to hear the answer...ALWAYS!
Never once, when I have actually asked for help, has my question and request gone unanswered.
It is easy to underestimate the comfort that can be gained by having someone/something listen to our request without judgement and with immediate consolation and answers; yet it is this very thing that often gives me the strength and courage to pass through particularly anxious, fearful or helpless moments.

Soul singing
Do you know that moment when your soul sings just to hear a certain word, smell a certain smell, listen to a particular song. You smile, a secret smile, that no one but you knows what it is for or about, and they don't need to?
It's like when you're reading a book in a public place and you laugh out loud or start to cry because of the story you are reading. It's between you and the characters of the story you are reading, and yet it has touched you and is so profound that everyone can see the impact even though they do not understand.
Do you find yourself reliving these moments just to experience these feelings again? The moment where your soul sang, your heart reached from within you and tried to fly away just because it could no longer be held?
These moments, however fleeting they may be at times, are the reason we are here.
Revel in the feeling, embrace it, seek it out. For this feeling is the feeling you have when you walk the path you agreed to for this life. This is the moment when your team is whispering in your ear and miracles seem to happen and the world is an amazing and beautiful place where anything seems possible.
This is each of our destinies and our birth right, to walk this path and live a life of these moments.
In the time it does not work this way, and your heart aches for something it doesn't know it is missing; it is also these moments that can give you the strength to move forward, to push past the anxiety, fear and sadness. It is the memory of the moment that moves you towards the next one.
