What a beautiful morning it is today.......makes you glad to be alive. The sun on the water was amazing as I drove by the seawall on my way home from a friends place. Stayed as it was late and I just didn't feel like getting in my car so had a sleepover. While I love the view from my little castle in the sky, my friends place hangs out over the water and you can see forever.
Have been feeling a sensation quite like BLISS for the past week or so. A sense of calm and balance seems to permeate everything.......like I flicked on a switch or something. Whatever has happened, it is a new feeling for me........a sense that everything is all right and in perfect harmony.
I remember years ago when I first started on my path of self discovery. Someone asked me what it was that I wanted.........what was it that would make me happy? Most people talk about the perfect relationship, the perfect career, material possessions but that is not what I came up with. The only thing that I could come up with was the following.....
I only want to come to a place within myself where I feel in balance and in complete acceptance of me.
And you know what? That is what has finally come to fruition. I do feel in balance and I am in acceptance of me. Why has it taken me so long to come to this place? It doesn't matter how long it has taken because I got here and it feels perfect.
All those times in the past where I was lamenting the state of my life, my work, my relationships......it just doesn't matter anymore. All that does matter is that that sense of Bliss of which I speak is here now, in this moment. And it doesn't even feel that much different - there is simply a calmness around me - a sense that life is perfect just as it is.
So just for this moment, take a look at your life. Don't lament all that seems to be out of harmony. Simply sit in it and know that it is perfect for you now........doesn't mean that this will be the way it always will be, but for this NOW moment, it is what it is and what it is is perfect.
Find JOY in this now moment and let the next moment handle itself.

Do for your Self as you would do for another...
I had two clients today both make similar statements regarding finding a man to look after them - like that would make it all better. By IT, of course I mean, their LIFE. It got me questionning my own life and seeing where I too, in the past, have been in that same situation - doubting my own abilities..
Why do so many people seek for another to "look after them"?
What is it within people that makes them believe that they are not capable of looking after themselves?
Where were we led to believe that we would never be whole unless we had someone to look after us and, on the flip side, someone for us to look after?
Why not simply focus all that love and attention on YOU and see where it might lead?
In my life, I have delved into this belief pattern too. However, when I did have financial support and all that that entails on the material plane, I did not feel safe. I worried constantly about what might or could or would happen, all the while clinging to what? Someone else to take charge of me and my life FOR me? And what would I do?
What I have learned is that once we consciously take charge of our own life without any expectations placed upon another, we start to stand taller. We start to feel that excitement of creating once again? We start to believe in our own sweet self.
So, I guess what I am saying here is that it is time to start believing in YOU for you is what you have to work with RIGHT NOW. Embrace the possibilities in doing FOR YOU, as you are guided in each moment. No longer waiting for some magical prince or princess to ride you off into the sunset. No longer living in a place of fear.
From this moment onward, start to live in a place of LOVE. If even for a moment at a time. With time, those moments stretch into minutes. Those minutes stretch into hours. Those hours stretch into days and before long, you are living in a state of bliss, creating your life moment to moment in a state of Love, joy and surrender to simply living in the moment.
That is what I have learned for today. I share from a place of deep reverence for all of our journeys.....

smooth sailing once again...
So we have managed to move beyond those incredibly powerful energies that have been swirling around for the past week or so.
The Summer Solstice, the New Moon on Monday and all that those celestial events bring up for many of us are now behind as we move into the newness that is the Summer. I facilitate a meditation circle on Tuesday nights and last night I had a full house. I love watching the energies build as one after another these Souls walk in to the room. There were new people present last night. A few people that I had not seen for almost a year and of course, the regulars who seem to come for their weekly "Katrice fix".
Everyone had been feeling the stretching that occurs as we move into a new energy and I am so very grateful that Spirit has elected me as one of those "Earth Angels" to assist during this time of transition on Planet Earth. Of course, as humans, we are always transitioning into the new within our lives. There are times, however, when we are pushed beyond our normal limits and during those times, it is so very helpful to have others with whom we can share these changes.
And you? How are you transitioning through the changes in your own life? Do you have support available when you need it? Are there others with whom you can share those "strange" sensations or feelings that may be causing you angst?
We all need help and support at every turn in our lives. For some of us, we have a Divine knowing that all is in perfect order which enables us to breathe a little easier....allowing us to ride out the stormy times. Unfortunately a lot of people tend to fight the changes, wanting things to remain the way they were. At the end of the day, do you really want everything to remain the same? This is not possible and the sooner you come to this realization deep within your Self, the easier the coming changes will be for you and those you love.
So for today, allow yourself to ride the waves. Reach up as the energies carry you higher. Dive as the energies take you lower. And be in Joy in the moment knowing that change is the only constant.
I send you blessings for a day full of love, joy, wonder and LIGHT.

Your future beckons.....
How many of you are faced with life changing choices at the present time? Does your mind get all clogged up with the possibilities and potential shifts that might - or could - or will occur? Holding on to the side-rails will not be of any assistance unless, of course, you want to remain shackled to your present situation……….
A fork in the road presents itself. Imagine that you are standing at the end of a long and winding road. On looking back you can see all the pitfalls and the roadblocks that you have encountered – leading up to this particular juncture. You have been at this crossroads many, many times in the distant past. Lifetime after lifetime you have encountered similar scenarios, but this time, you are finally ready to move past any self imposed limitations that may have been erected those times in the past where the choices have seemed too immense; those times in the past where you have chosen to take the lower road, the road of least resistance. Not this time however. You can feel the push to move beyond all those old ways of Being, with those lowered expectations, that dictated your every move.
In this current situation, see your Self looking forward, towards a new way of Being. A way of Being, where you are confident in your abilities to create from what has come before. Yes, create from what has come before. You have a wealth of knowledge from which to draw upon, not only from this time around but, from all those other times where you have been faced with similar challenges and choices. So, as you stand looking forward to your future reality, allow your Self to visualize exactly what it is that you would choose if you could choose the perfect reality in which to exist.
Delve into your memory banks and seek access to your own higher knowledge – the knowledge that has been there all the time. The knowledge that has led you to this point in your existence and further still - into your evolution. You are not simply here to live and die. You are here to create from your heart’s desire and in so doing, empower others with their own gifts of creativity.
So go ahead. Create from your hearts desire. Take the fork in the road that currently beckons.
The light is shining on high beam, enticing you to move beyond your own self imposed limitations. There are no limits in the work of the Soul. It is only this earthly existence that chooses to set limits on its greatness.
Your Soul knows how far you can go. Tap into that wealth of knowledge that is yours to utilize in every moment and with every breath. Follow the light that leads you home. Feel your heart open and fill with all the Light that you can hold – and then fill with more. Feel it over pouring and shining out for all to see.
That fork in the road doesn’t look quite as ominous now does it, when it is bathed in the light and love that you are. Take the next step. Your future beckons..............

Happy Father's Day
I am heading out shortly to take my dear old Dad for a Father's Day lunch. I can remember so many years in the past when all I wanted to do was forget about him as we had had a very volatile relationship for as long as I could remember. Now, however, he is old and needs me. I am finding that during this time in our lives it is for forgetting all the hurt and pain of the past and simply just relish this time to heal all that went before.
He sees me and his eyes light up every single time which is definitely not what is used to be. He had been a very angry man for most of my time as a child. Life didn't go the way he had envisioned and he just couldn't get over it. Of course, he took it out on both of us kids and my Mother. She passed away years ago and while for a time I thought I would just move on without him I could not do so. I wanted my kids to have a chance to know their Grandfather and now he has 2 wonderful grandchildren and a daughter that he loves.
My brother has not been so fortunate in healing this pain. He has chosen to distance himself completely and lives in another country. He has not come back to Canada for over 10 years and told me a couple of years ago that he never would. Sad actually as he is missing an important part of his own healing. But then again, he was never the kind of person who would reach out. He would just go into his own world and, now that I think about it, perhaps this works for him. We are very different Souls even though we come from the same gene pool. And, sadly he will never have the opportunity to right any of those old wrongs from his past as he chose not to father any children. I do wish him well though and truly hope that his life is moving along the way he had always envisioned it. Blessings abound....
So for today, let those old wounds fade away and give thanks for the chance at life that has been given to you through the gift of LIFE that your own father gave to you.
I mean face it, if it wasn't for your father YOU would not be here to experience all the wonders that life in human form offers.
So Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there and happy day to all you daughters and sons.
Have a day full of wonder, joy and love.

Just doing what feels right in the moment
WOW...........I stayed in bed this morning until 10:00 a.m. and, shock of shocks, had no guilt whatsoever. What a gift. Not just the acting like a lounging lizard.....smile.....but that there was no guilt attached to it.
Why do we spend so much time allowing guilt to be our guiding emotion? After all, this day is ours to do with as we please. And today it pleased me to just recline under the covers, feeling all warm and cozy.
I've been spending a lot more of my days just allowing them to evolve. I am putting out my intention as to what will bring me pleasure and it appears that the Universe is reading me loud and clear. My work is bringing me pleasure, not to mention financial abundance. My friends are bringing me pleasure as I am now allowing them to do whatever it is that they are choosing to do. I do admit however that I need to allow them their own freedom without putting my expectations for MY life into theirs. And, most importantly, I am experiencing pleasure by just being me. Feels good.
A gift is what this day is and I am truly thankful to be experiencing it just for what it is. What a world we would inhabit if all of us chose to think this way. I'm not saying that there won't be days that we simply feel out of sorts for one reason or the other but for today, all is well in my world. How goes it in yours?
Today, just because, do what feels right and true for you. You deserve it.

The sun has re-appeared
...and we never get that rain that was threatening to download on us. Unfortunately the land needs some rain and for the first time in a long time, we are praying for rain. Of course, here in the city we are not worried about forest fires but throughout the province, the forests are crying for some relief from the heat and sun.
It was extremely muggy earlier today and after the gym I just had to lay down again and regroup. So tired these days and wondering if it is just the weather or me. I'm feeling great other than this heavy energy but it is not a familiar feeling for me to be so tired for days on end. It's not like I have been out late or anything so am now starting to think that there is another round of shifts coming around the corner.
Work is going well and more clients are finding their way to me. Of course, I am putting myself out there more again and just going with that elusive flow of which I speak about constantly. The need for extra rest could be a clue.
When reading other postings in the spiritual community they all say the same thing these days. A change is coming but I am getting rather tired of hearing that so often as, while change is a good thing, it does tend to come slower lately. Back to the idea of patience as a good thing so shall just have to wait it out and simply continue moving forward at the pace that seems to have been set for me of late.
So while going with my own flow I need to be aware of the fact that sometimes the pace that we wish to be moving at does not jive with the pace that we want to be moving within. This being human in reality is always a challenge as Spirit moves at a different pace than that which we, as humans desire. Any thoughts around that in YOUR world???
So here's to the return of the light (Mother Sun that is) and moving forward in the divine timing that is just right for us all.

An influx of heavy energy.......
The energy is dense and heavy today. Of course, here in Vancouver, the rains are threatening yet it is still hot and muggy. Feels like the sky has been lowered and it is pressing down upon us all. Makes it a tad difficult to stay clear and open.
It is times like this when we are tested as to what is our energy and what is the energy of others. Everyone that I have spoken to today is saying the same thing. I can't seem to get clear or focussed. Everything seems to have a layer of "something" covering it up. That denseness of which I spoke earlier is indeed having an effect upon us all.
However, if we remember that at the centre of our Soul all is clear and bright. And we do need to go back into the centre repeatedly, especially on days like these. Move beyond the "covering" that has us feeling stifled, dense and all clogged up. As I sit here in my office with the sea breeze wafting in, there is certainly a much lighter feel to it all. Just me and the wind. Blowing me back into the centre of ME.
Another aspect to this denseness is the feeling that something is not quite right. Do not waste energy of that one. Everything is perfect just as IT IS right NOW. We all tend to think that when we are not feeling "right" or "light" that we have somehow done something to create this sensation. We start to question all that has come to this point and try to pinpoint something that we may have inadvertently done to create this "off" feeling.
It simply is what IT IS and going into judgement around our supposed responsibility for the weather does nothing to advance our day forward in a harmonious manner. So let it go. The denseness will dissipate once the clouds burst open allowing the cleansing rains to fall, breaking this sense of heaviness.
I find that sometimes the best thing to do with this sense of heaviness is to simply be still and quiet. Allow a gentle release of anything that could possibly exacerbate the already discordant energy. Nothing you physically DO is anywhere near as helpful as simply letting yourself BE. Breathe in and breathe out and simply open to allow all that needs releasing, an easy avenue to move through.
Be gentle with yourself. Take some time to simply be still and quiet and let whatever will be...simply BE.

Just along for the ride.........smile
Wow. What a busy weekend I had. The weather was beautiful and Sunday was a car free day in the neighbourhood. The street was closed off to vehicles and there were lots of vendors, street musicians, entertainment, food and Sunshine.... Ended up wandering around for almost 6 hours - dancing, laughing and talking to many people.
Friday I got to meet a "friend" whom I had never met in the physical as we had been conversing for the past few months over the internet and the phone from New Zealand. He had great energy, even coming off a very VERY long flight and we had a lot of fun getting to know a bit more about the other. Took him over to the ferry on Saturday morning so that he could head over to his property on the island and get ready for the next part of his journey. He is living between New Zealand and Vancouver Island and is so very tired of this back and forth thing. Will be nice to see what the universe has in store for he and I. A new friend regardless and new friends are always welcome.
Was obviously very tired though as I lay down at 8:00 p.m. last night and slept all the way through to 6:00 a.m. Taking it easy today and handling a lot of different items on my to do list.
I learned this weekend to make sure NOT to try and direct all that comes my way. From the time I picked up my friend at the airport until I hit the pillow last night, I just let it all unfold as it was meant to be. Ended up having a wonderful time, stress-free and easy going. Perhaps that is the lesson for today.
When we allow the energies to free flow from one moment to the other, life simply flows...........taking us along for the ride.

oops.........I got hacked.....
Having a few glitches with my website and my web guy has just informed me that I got hacked. Not able to post my messages on the website located at www.intuitiveinspiration.com but at least I am still hooked up here on this blog.
Lots of energy swirling around this week but at least I am not feeling as tired as I was at the beginning of the week. Everyone and I mean EVERY one has been feeling the energy lately so know that I am not the only one feeling IT. Hope it has not affected you adversely.
Getting ready to go and pick up a friend who is arriving at the airport from New Zealand. This is someone that I have been connecting with over the internet for months and, since he arrives here, prior to returning to his homestead on Vancouver Island, I thought it would be nice to greet him on his return. Of course meeting someone face to face that I have been connecting with via email and the phone will be interesting methinks. But we all know that is it always nice to have a smiling face waiting after a long trip...........19 hours actually so I'm sure he will be pretty pooped.
I am feeling very energetic today though so hopefully my upbeat energy will inspire him to WAKE up for at least a while prior to boarding the ferry for the last leg of his journey.
Opening ourselves to others is always a good thing, at least in my world.
Blessings to you all for a wonderful fun filled weekend.

Lots of energy swirling around this week but at least I am not feeling as tired as I was at the beginning of the week. Everyone and I mean EVERY one has been feeling the energy lately so know that I am not the only one feeling IT. Hope it has not affected you adversely.
Getting ready to go and pick up a friend who is arriving at the airport from New Zealand. This is someone that I have been connecting with over the internet for months and, since he arrives here, prior to returning to his homestead on Vancouver Island, I thought it would be nice to greet him on his return. Of course meeting someone face to face that I have been connecting with via email and the phone will be interesting methinks. But we all know that is it always nice to have a smiling face waiting after a long trip...........19 hours actually so I'm sure he will be pretty pooped.
I am feeling very energetic today though so hopefully my upbeat energy will inspire him to WAKE up for at least a while prior to boarding the ferry for the last leg of his journey.
Opening ourselves to others is always a good thing, at least in my world.
Blessings to you all for a wonderful fun filled weekend.

Letting go of guilt as I embrace what makes me happy
I ended up spending most of my day just doing whatever the heck I wanted to do AND I do not feel one iota of guilt. Went for a walk around Lost Lagoon and got to commune with all the new little ducklings, goslings and one baby swan. She is so beautiful and fluffy. Her Mama was making sure that no big birds got too close and, as for the few dogs that were also enjoying the day, she promptly made sure that they stayed far away from the edge of the water with all her hissing and feather fluffing. All the while the little baby was simply enjoying herself as she learned to go forward and back, hurrying up to catch up with Mama and delighting in just being alive. We could learn a lot from Mother Nature.
The weather had not been too hot but, by the time my wander around the Lagoon was complete, the beach was calling so, since I was already being true to my self, I just hurriedly put on my suntan lotion, my bikini and headed to the sand for a short while. Ran into some friends and just lay in the warmth and chatted for a little over an hour. Feeling very relaxed and ready to welcome my meditation group in a short while.
How often do we force ourselves to do things when our heart and soul are not engaged? It always takes twice as long and most often we find that we have to redo all that we attempted to do when not in the flow. I talk about being in the flow a lot lately as I find that when I do just go with the flow of the day, all things that need attending to get done with a minimum of stress and I have more energy to get other things accomplished that I would not normally have the energy nor the inclination to even consider.
So for today, I enjoyed my time of being in the flow and now I still have a lot of energy left to ensure that my meditation participants get the fullness of me.........mind, body and spirit.
I hope that you also had a day dedicated to you in whatever small way you could and let the guilt go. It is simply a wasted emotion.

Allowing the flow to be engaged
Monday is upon us and with it comes a chance to create a new week. I have always enjoyed Mondays unlike so many people who dread this first day of the work week.
I have been so fortunate to be able to do my own thing for most of my adult life. That is where my love of Mondays come from. Unlike so many people, I do not need to punch a clock or answer to a boss perse. My "boss" if you will, is the Universe and if I only allow myself to pay attention, everything that I need to do is presented to me in every moment. It is a challenge at times though because we are all programmed to HAVE to be doing this, that or the other.
The words "have" and "should" are very minimal in my life these days as I know that I am more free flowing which is completely in alignment with the way of the Universe. Sometimes the flow is effortless. Other times there is a push and pull thing going on as I try to figure things out from a rational 3d level. Of course we do need to pay attention to the little details of life but letting the Universe handle the greater part of our lives makes the flow so much easier to engage.
So for today, I wish you an easy access to the divine flow within your own life. Open, pay attention and then just allow your life to move in the direction that it is already heading.
Namaste.

joy and acceptance
My daughter had her 28th birthday celebration, complete with a Hawaiian theme, yesterday and I have not laughed so much in a very long time. I hadn't been at one of her parties for many years and it was a wonderful thing to see how much she has evolved over the years yet, still she retains that joyful exurberance of youth. And talk about performing for the masses. She just seemed to be in some sort of zone whereby something was always calling to her, bring joy to everyone here as she resonated with the fun fun fun that she so embodies.
Also, it was with a very big heart that I was able to receive endless praise from those in attendance as they, one after the other, talked about how they love Brie and now it was me that they continually thanked for helping her become the woman she is. Felt good to be honoured in that way as she and I are finally coming into a wonderful place of acceptance for the other.
Joy and acceptance............beautiful energies to embody this day of the Full Moon.
Woke up this morning feeling rather groggy from the celebration yesterday and am fully aware of the intense energies that this Full Moon is bringing with it. I can feel the momentum building as the moon comes into its fullest time, almost like there is this container that I am in and it is getting ready to burst its seams. At first this morning it felt a tad uncomfortable but now, as I am simply allowing the energies to swirl around me in the place of joy and acceptance, the flow is starting to be engaged.
I wish you all a day full of joy and acceptance as you move into your own place of fullness - full of love, joy,peace and acceptance for you just the way you are, continually evolving and growing welcoming the newness of each new dawn.

Awareness through Solitude
Is anyone else out there feeling the affects of the planetary alignments of late? I know that I have been very affected by this past Mercury retrograde and, now it appears, with the coming Full Moon tomorrow night. I felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck yesterday and just couldn't keep my eyes open. Had all these potential plans with others but just wanted to rest and be quiet. Even turned off the phone and hunkered down for a night of solitude.
I have been noticing that a lot too.........the need for solitude. Was talking with someone yesterday and sharing that in the past I would get all antsy and out of sorts when spending too much time on my own, however, that way of being has shifted lately. There does not seem to be that incessant NEED to be busy and distracted by the energies of others. In fact, that just might be it........no longer wanting to be distracted by others, even those whose energies I enjoy.
When I look back on my old way of interacting with others, I now realize that I WAS distracting myself from ME. This distraction would work for a while and then, at the end of the day, in the quiet of the night, I would be alone and just with me. And I was not all that enamored with me before which is a huge admission on my part. Now though, I am feeling the intense desire to spend time with me and allow all of me full reign with no distractions to hinder my own personal growth.
This does not mean that I won't be spending time with others because that would be foolish. I am a very social being but I am committed now to spending time with others that enhance my existence, not those who are pulling at my energetic strings to make THEIR lives better as I used to think that I needed others to make MY life feel better. This also doesn't mean that I am going to be pushing others away, just that I am now willing to be patient with me and honour how my energy flows when in the energy of others. I do not need them in my life - I am choosing to embrace their energies as we both flow forward in the divine stream of things.
Ah life and all its myriad lessons. There is certainly not a day that goes by without some sort of lesson......some aha moment where we can go........hey, this feels different, looks different, IS different. I AM different and that is exactly what I need to embrace.
Unique Beings unite as this stream of life is speeding up.

clear and present communication
I love words and I love talking - discussing a myriad range of topics with the people who come into my life. Yesterday I was attempting to talk with someone on the phone and I found myself getting so very VERY frustrated at the gaps in the conversation that I finally said "Hey, you don't seem to be very present and I am not sure what it is that you are wanting here", so I said goodbye. And that sense of disconnect was the very problem that was occurring.
When we are in conversation with another it is so important to be fully present. Sure we all have things going on in our lives that are clamoring for attention but when we have chosen to be in communication with another it is only polite to be engaged and present for the other person.
Of course, being an Energy Worker, I am perhaps way more aware of when the energy has drifted and when that happens, FOR ME, I disengage. It is just too hard for me trying to stay connected with the other is NOT. Is it only me or do others sense this disconnect within some of their interactions too?
When we are young it is perhaps more apparent but when we are adults you would think that we would be aware of this but it does not appear to be so with some of the people in my life. My patience is tested and then I disengage. I got off the phone and then wrote an email trying to explain how I felt during the disjointed conversation with this Soul. And this is something that is always present with this person. Trying to explain it didn't go over very well as he thought he was being clear. Finished our conversation early this morning and while I feel better about my explanation, I really do not think he got it.
I like things to flow effortlessly when with others and while this may be the way that I operate out in the world, there are many who do not fully engage, even with themselves, and that appears to be where the problem lies.
In every connection that we have out in the world there is a need to be fully present and IN the flow of what is occurring. To me it just makes sense but then again, I have been working with this my entire life. Being present, in the flow and fully engaged.
So many people just float through their lives and never really link in to the essence of their Soul. When this happens, there is a break in the energy flow and it feels like we are simply drifting along without any clear connection to anything.........least of all to our selves.
So for today, pay attention to the connections that you forge throughout your day. Be present, open to receive and be open to share from the depths of your Soul. We are all Souls trying to engage in this 3d reality and while you can pretend to be here, others will sense if your mind and attention is elsewhere. We owe it to others and we owe it to ourselves to be here now, in every moment.
Have a beautiful day and stay present.

Going with the flow
What a perfect day yesterday turned out to be. Had the chance to do almost EVERYTHING that, to me, constitutes a perfect day. New clients coming now and feel like I have indeed settled into my flow.
Now saying settled may not seem like what going with the flow is all about but I am definitely feeling the shifts coming. It has been a rather hard time for the past year or so as I have been "trying" to find my place within it all. I finally stopped "trying" so hard and simply started allowing myself to relax into it all.
I recently took a career counselling course with the thought that I would shift from what I have been doing these past 20 years as nothing seemed to be going the way I wanted. Of course, during the weeks of the course it became abundantly clear that what I have been doing is my life's work SO I stopped trying to figure it all out and just let it evolve.
I think that is a problem with many of us. We try to do everything from within our mind instead of following our heart and the guidance that we receive in every moment from Source. When we step out of the rational mind and listen to that inner guidance, life flows unimpeded. So why do we do that? Is it because it is the way we were taught was the correct way to be doing things.
The energy has changed the whole world over and for those of us who work with the energy of the spirit, it is obvious that life does not work like it once did. For me, my life had been one where I had tried to fit in with what is considered normal behavior but I am unique and just accepting this uniqueness is what sets me apart. And it is a good thing. I mean, if we were all the same nothing would change. And that is the funny thing because change is the only constant and when we allow our lives to flow with the changes, the Universe moves in the direction that we are dearly wanting.
I am willing to allow my life to go in the direction that the Universe dictates and once that direction has changed, life moves in wonderful and new ways. Perhaps it is just that. Allowing life to happen instead of trying to push and pull it in the direction that we think we are meant to flowing with. I wrote a poem years ago called Beyond the Illusions and it seems to be relevant to my life now. I'll share it with you and wish you a day of wondrous new discoveries.
BEYOND THE ILLUSIONS
Like a pebble in the water our thoughts send out a beam
And reach for those who will respond since they know it's not a dream
The Illusion that you thought was real has all been just a mirror
To show you where you need to work
To be present
To be here
Because here is where you are right now
Not behind nor up ahead
So settle into present time
For it's here that you've been led
To work through issues from the past
To be clear on what's to come
So settle into present time
The real work has just begun
I wish you a day of wonder and joy as you start on the next part of your journey.

Change is the only constant
Every day life has a way of shifting in ways that we are projecting and intending. So, while some of these shifts may not feel so wonderful, as we are caught up in the movement, it is imperative that we all know that WE are the catalysts for all these shifts. We asked for the changes to be forthcoming and that is what is occuring for everyone at this time.
My work over the past year or so had slowed to a trickle as I was coming more into alignment with my own true life path. Has it been easy? Not at all. Am I fighting the changes? No longer, as I have finally realized that if we are fighting the very changes that we ourselves have put in motion, we are, in essence, stopping the process or at least throwing a few screws into the mix, effectively stopping this forward motion.
Do we really want to mess with our own true intentions? Doesn't sound very promising does it? I, for one, know that when I allow the process free reign, the Universe does indeed step in to ensure that we are getting exactly what it is that we are seeking.
Are you seeking a new relationship? Perhaps it would behoove you to be really clear about your own connection to your self. How can we bring in something new if we are still working within the same parameters that we USED to work within. To bring in a new relationship, we have to be clear with who we are now......not who we used to be.
Are you seeking a new path in life? Get clear on where it is that you wish to be heading and make the necessary changes in your current life path. We are all at a crossroads, every day of our lives. New opportunities, new adventures and new ways of looking at the world. Start to use your own intuitive senses and see from the higher vision of the 3rd eye........your seat of intuitive knowing.
Are you seeking a new way of operating in the world? Changing your normal day to day life is the first step to moving into a higher alignment with who this new you is NOW. Even taking a few minutes daily to simply sit in a place of quiet and calm will automatically change your own energetics, thereby changing the energetics of those around you.
Change can be scary - yes. However, change is really the ONLY constant in our life so allowing yourself the luxury of being free to move with the changes will not only bring peace of mind, it will also allow you to roll with the punches and come out the other side.......brighter, more confident and more excited to move into the unknown with confidence in your own abilities to adapt to those same changes.
Something to think about.
I wish you all well and welcome to Katrice's Inspiration for the Soul.
