Our Daughters

Our daughters need us not to be perfect.

They need us to be messy, raw, and real,

admitting our mistakes and apologizing for them,

pink in the cheeks with embarrassment, and feeling our feelings with tears in the corners of our eyes.

They need to hear us discussing our struggles with them. They weren’t there to witness them all, so they may think we never had any.

But let’s tell them what we overcame, so no shame exists between us, and they’ll feel comfortable revealing their authentic selves, too.

We want our daughters to view mistakes as an opportunity to learn and grow, not a failure.

Because gosh, we should be tired of hearing about girls uncomfortable in their skin, poking, prodding, and tugging at their stomachs when they don’t live up to their own expectations, looking in the mirror and feeling not enough.

So no, we shouldn’t want girls who smile pretty, don’t take risks, and keep themselves small stuck in a perfectionist mind.

We should want our girls strong, resilient, and BRAVE.

Girls who go after challenges just like our boys who are always encouraged to play rough, climb high, and reach for the stars.

So our daughters need us not to be perfect,

so, they, too, can reach for the stars for themselves, and each and every woman after them to become the brave and imperfect humans, they were meant to become.

Woman awakened

When a woman awakens and starts to own all of herself, letting go of the need to cover up or defend herself and instead accepts all of her idiosyncrasies, fears, wounds, false programs, flaws, icky moods, fat thighs, sweaty armpits etc and supports her unique imperfect self instead of judging, rejecting and wishing that she were different or like somebody else, she has entered the promised land of freedom and self empowerment.

She starts to drop the posing, defence mechanisms, competitiveness, jealousy and all the false gods that she previously used as crutches, false images or places to hide parts of herself…

What is left is a Woman of Strength, courage, fortitude and a woman that is compassionately understanding towards others because she is able to give to others what she has given to herself…

She becomes fearlessly authentic, she finds her Voice, there is no longer shame, therefore she no longer needs to hide or change any part of herself… She’s able to overcome any fears of rejection for being true to herself.

Ironically, when a woman claims and accepts her shadow, that which she rejected and suppressed about herself transforms from being dysfunctional to being a strength and the energy that it was previously draining from her becomes available to her.

Such a woman gives others permission to accept themselves as they are, her own freedom becomes contagious.

Through being openly relaxed in her Power she empowers others.

Trauma via being Witness to Events

PTSD can occur not just from directly experiencing a severe traumatic event but also witnessing it happen to others, including close friends, family and loved ones as well as being chronically exposed to the details of the trauma of others in work-related settings.

Releasing Prayer

I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.

I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.

I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.

I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.

I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment.

I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.

I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence walking with the wisdom of the heart.

I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.

I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others. And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.

I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.

I respect and approve.

I honor the Divinity in me and in you.

We are free.

Your Body Instrument

“Your body is not your masterpiece — your life is.

It is suggested to us a million times a day that our BODIES are PROJECTS. They aren’t. Our lives are. Our spirituality is. Our relationships are. Our work is.

Stop spending all day obsessing, cursing, perfecting your body like it’s all you’ve got to offer the world. Your body is not your art, it’s your paintbrush. Whether your paintbrush is a tall paintbrush or a thin paintbrush or a stocky paintbrush or a scratched up paintbrush is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is that YOU HAVE A PAINTBRUSH which can be used to transfer your insides onto the canvas of your life — where others can see it and be inspired and comforted by it.

Your body is not your offering. It’s just a really amazing instrument which you can use to create your offering each day. Don’t curse your paintbrush. Don’t sit in a corner wishing you had a different paintbrush. You’re wasting time. You’ve got the one you got. Be grateful, because without it you’d have nothing with which to paint your life’s work. Your life’s work is the love you give and receive — and your body is the instrument you use to accept and offer love on your soul’s behalf. It’s a system.

We are encouraged to obsess over our instrument’s SHAPE — but our body’s shape has no effect on it’s ability to accept and offer love for us. Just none. Maybe we continue to obsess because as long we keep wringing our hands about our paintbrush shape, we don’t have to get to work painting our lives. Stop fretting. The truth is that all paintbrush shapes work just fine — and anybody who tells you different is trying to sell you something. Don’t buy. Just paint.

No wait — first, stop what you are doing and say THANK YOU to your body — right now. Say THANK YOU to your eyes for taking in the beauty of sunsets and storms and children blowing out birthday candles and say THANK YOU to your hands for writing love letters and opening doors and stirring soup and waving to strangers and say THANK YOU to your legs for walking you from danger to safety and climbing so many mountains for you.

Then pick up your instrument and start painting this day beautiful and bold and wild and free and YOU. Paint this day beautiful, bold, wild & free.”~

Message From the Faeries

Message from the Faeries!

It was brought to my attention by my friend Donald, who is connected to the faerie realm, an important gathering had taken place by the faeries. Here is the current story told to me by Donald:

“About three weeks ago, around July 1, 2022, I had tried to connect with my faerie guides. Usually, they come briefly after I call them. I tried several times and did not hear from them. I was concerned but knew it must have been for a good reason. Then a few days later my personal faery guide came and I immediately asked her why there was such a delay. My faery guide said, ‘We were summoned by the Angels. All the faeries came and gathered. It was a huge meeting, like a conference in your human world. It was divine instruction and they prepared us for what we were to do next. They showed us glimpses of the future to help us understand and prepare for what was coming. We then were told to share with other clan leaders in the nature realm.’ The meeting was headed by an Angelic messenger and because they were called to attend such an important event, they could not appear to me when I called them.”

When Donald told me this story I had chills running through my body. I felt so much truth-energy from this message. Like the faeries, we are all being prepared for what is coming next. Even though we may not know what it is specifically, we do know to take time out for ourselves—to go inward and allow the preparation to take place. It is no surprise that the Faeries, who are the chief stewards of Gaia, have been called to prepare for the next level of the New Earth. It is so hopeful to know we are all together in the changes to come.

Many blessings of hope and love, Laura and the Faeries! (image by James Christensen)

Internet

I spent an hour in the bank with my dad,

as he had to transfer some money. I couldn’t resist

myself and asked…

”Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?”

”Why would I do that?” He asked…

”Well, then you wont have to spend an hour here for

things like making a transfer.

You can even do your shopping online. Everything will

be so easy!”

I was so excited about initiating him into the world of

Net banking.

He asked ”If I do that, I wont have to step out of the

house?”

”Yes, yes”! I said. I told him how even groceries can

be delivered at your door now and how amazon

delivers everything!

His answer left me tongue-tied.

He said ”Since I entered this bank today, I have met

four of my friends, I have chatted awhile with the staff

who know me very well by now.

You know, I am alone…this is the company that I need.

I like to get ready and come to the bank. I have

enough time, it is the physical touch that I crave.

Two years back, I got sick. The store owner from whom

I buy fruits, came to see me and sat by my bedside

and cried.

When your Mom fell down a few days back while on

her morning walk, our local grocer saw her and

immediately got his car to rush her home as he knows

where I live.

Would I have that ‘human’ touch if everything became

online?

Why would I want everything delivered to me and force

me to interact with just my computer?

I like to know the person that I’m dealing with and not

just the ‘seller’. It creates bonds of Relationships.

Does Amazon deliver all this as well?”’

Technology isn’t life..

Spend time with people .. Not with devices.
