Joy

JOY

Joy does not arrive with a fanfare,

on a red carpet strewn with the flowers of a perfect life.

Joy sneaks in, as you pour a cup of coffee,

watching the sun hit your favourite tree, just right.

And you usher joy away,

because you are not ready for it.

Your house is not as it must be,

for such a distinguished guest.

But joy cares nothing for your messy home,

or your bank-balance,

or your waistline, you see.

Joy is supposed to slither through the cracks of your imperfect life,

that’s how joy works.

You cannot invite her, you can only be ready when she appears.

And hug her with meaning,

because in this very moment,

joy chose you.

Knowing Enough ; Savoring Fullness

I personally woke to this ideology in my practice of SGI Buddhism , of whom many belong including Tina Turner

Her Album Beyond pays homage to SGI Buddhism !

Richard Gere is Buddhist , and has married the love of his life and fathered children !!!

These are gifts that are the abundance of having and knowing enough .

Of course awareness of lack also kicks in and it’s become a good thing ; a tool in my journey . There has been interference and that is being addressed karmically. It’s not my call 📞

Blessings & Peace

Dona Luna

The upgraded “abundance” and “wealth” codes for the next phase of planet earth will be the Inner Tantric Yogas.

How little can you consume…

How deeply can you savor….

How fully can you receive…..

How completely can you allow satiation,

Without chasing your hunger for more

When one single drop

Is an ocean of fulfillment

When the simple is the sanctuary

And

Limitation is the refuge

The joy of remembering how to experience

Fullness

The liberation of letting it be

Enough

Deeply, truly enough

Drinking it in all the way down to your bones

Enough

Letting yourself really have it

Enough

Satiation is not about consumption

Have we learned that yet?

It’s about how deeply you can receive what is given

The hungry ghost is surrounded by food yet never even makes it to the table.

The Royal is the savoring the single spoon.

And stretching their heart wide to feast on the effulgence of every tiny morsel.

Did you know subtlety is the gateway to infinity?

Want less.

Receive more.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you.

Love ❤️ & Loss

Nothing you love is lost.

Not really.

Things, people , they always go away, sooner or later.

You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight.

But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours.

The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart ..

Times Up for Shadow Forces

Feeling the putrid shadow energy OUT there ; resisting any urge to engage with it .

Faith , Fall, and Foundations .

It’s Awakening to transformation to Heaven on Earth .

I’m certainly forced to rest , my budget is stretched beyond ..

The Groundhog Day effect of renting , finding my health endangered as I’m invited to shadow dance and refuse , retaliatory abuses by lords and ladies of the homes begins fast and furious . Purposely withholding leases , in masked brother or sister hood , doing a 360 and slum lording.

Law is currently compliant with the lord and ladies who have lawyers ( think ambulance chasers ) deal with the situation and hiring one is pouring money down the drain .

Change is upon us and I’m more than ready to end decades this life of abuses and previous lives as well as cellular awareness of healing blood lines , 14 generations of abuses , inherited in shadow play and challenges beyond darkest nightmares .

I believe October is the month I was removed from our family home , which was a shadow of our vision . 13 years in , I knew he was not interested in home nor hearth . 11 years in via trauma and Xanax , I descended to hell on earth and I held on to light that damn near extinguished.

That was repeated many times until I accepted time lost , sons lost , parts of me lost . Deeply grieving for decades and spending time on my own aided in my personal transformation and the varied experiences added to ancestral experiences shared beg forgiveness and healing , never to be repeated .

I’m at a place of peace and respite , my body not quite harmonic yet due to the current living conditions, ongoing struggle for my home which I feel closer to resolving .

I’m extremely grateful for my place in the world and I’m honored by the guidance and trust afforded me while I have been rejected by family and friends , which afforded me the opportunity to form relationships that support my current journey .

I’m responsible for myself and as a truth teller I must receive truths ,and that has included many masked people and many who are in distorted mental states . Witnessing and being the target of this energy is draining energetically and I surrender it to Divinity .

4 Agreements

The Four Agreements

1. Be Impeccable With Your Word

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

4. Always Do Your Best

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.”

The Grace Project

So I had shared this lovely photograph of my beautiful artist friend and Grace Goddess Marianne Duquette Cuozzo… along with these fabulous words of Glennon Doyle… The post went viral… and now Facebook deleted it and said “I was going too fast”… Ugh… this platform!! Here are these fabulous words and Mariannes gorgeous photo again: “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.”~

Life Lessons

10 THINGS TIME HAS TAUGHT ME

1. Most of our life is spent chasing false goals and worshipping false ideals. The day you realise that is the day you really start to live.

2. You really, truly cannot please all of the people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved ones second, everyone else is busy pleasing themselves anyway, trust me.

3. Fighting the ageing process is like trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see the beauty in the new.

4. Nobody is perfect and nobody is truly happy with their lot. When that sinks in you are free of comparison and free of judgement. It’s truly liberating.

5. No one really sees what you do right, everyone sees what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start doing things for the right reason and you will start having so much more fun.

6. You will regret the years you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.

7. Your health is obviously important but stress, fear and worry are far more damaging than any delicious food or drink you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace are the best medicine.

8. Who will remember you and for what, become important factors as you age. Your love and your wisdom will live on far longer than any material thing you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel farther than you can imagine.

9. We are not here for long but if you are living against the wind it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel like a chore, it should feel like an adventure.

10. Always, always, drink the good champagne and use the things you keep for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present. Eat, Drink (or don’t) & Be Merry.
