My Journey Through Divorce Beyond the Physical Realm 102

Divine Message:  One positive aspect of our lives is that we can learn to take responsibility for our actions at a very early age.

~ Community ~

This is a story of learning to take responsibility for one’s actions at the early age of 6…

Before bedtime, my oldest son reads independently and I read to my first grader while we lie together in his bed.  This is a special time that we spend together daily where we giggle and snuggle in our cozy spot.  Both my boys understand that the bedroom is a sacred place of quietness, peace and calm.  And each one of them enjoys their own space very much.

~ Sacred Kid Space ~

Due to his frustrated feelings lately, my 6 year old had been treating me roughly during our peaceful reading time.  Several nights ago he suddenly became excited and yelled loudly in my left ear.  It was so forceful that I dismissed myself temporarily in order to recoup and while I was out of his room, I devised a plan very similar to one using dimes that my Earth Angel recently taught me.

~ An All Time Favorite ~

I got a pen and paper and began writing, formulating a contract of sorts between me and my child.  The writing was large print so that he could read it for himself and be reminded of the agreement any time he noticed it hanging on his cork board in his sacred space.  Then I re-entered his room and asked him to sit up so that I could first read the document to him and then he could read it out loud to me, demonstrating that he understood before signing.  His eyes got pretty big and he sat up, wondering what on earth is going on, but he approached the situation very calmly and with respect.  This is what it said:

“The next time

I scream in my

mom’s ear or do

anything else rough and

mean to her,

I will lose book reading

at night with my mom

for 3 days.

Signed…

Date…”

We both read it and he signed, including his full name + nick name, Beaver, spelled “Bvvr.”  I almost laughed out loud when I saw that…  His attitude shifted and he became very soft and gentle with me that night and each night since.  The “contract” is still on his wall and I remind him about it at night before we begin our nightly ritual.  Is he learning a little responsibility?  I certainly hope so!

My Journey Through Divorce Beyond the Physical Realm 84

Love Message:  Take one entire day during the week to yourself and completely relax and have fun.

~ Sunshine Day ~

My guides have given me explicit instructions that Saturdays are now my FUN DAY!  One day a week to let my inner child run free.  No more working, errands, talking or even thinking about problems, asking questions, training, or any other involvement in activities other than those for pleasure.  And today is my very first Saturday devoted to FUN.  While I am writing this blog, next week I will not write on Saturday, nor the Saturday after.  If you see a posting on Saturday then it is because I did the work ahead of time and was able to simply press “publish” that day…

Why not join me in celebration of life today, right Now, for a super FUN DAY?

You will be glad you did!

In Fun and Happiness, Beth

“You could remain in these bodies indefinitely if you would allow your environment to continue to produce new, continuing, life-summoning desire. You could be one who opened your vortex to continually find new things to want, and those desires would continue to summon Life Force through you: you are living raucously, you are living joyously, you are living rambunctiously, you are living passionately… And then, from that same framework — you make a conscious decision to make your transition.”

My Journey Through Divorce Beyond the Physical Realm 66

Divine Message:  It is no coincidence that this is the 66th blog posting on the day of the biggest full moon in 18 years.

~ Supermoon ~

I had the divine pleasure of attending the variety show at my boys’ elementary school yesterday.  I showed up and waited outside the classroom of my youngest son, then followed him into the incredibly chaotic gymnasium and sat next to him on the wooden floor.  Luckily, we were seated at the edge so I didn’t block any of the kids behind me.  I looked around the room and saw many parents standing in the back and around the sides, anxious to watch their young performers on stage.

While waiting for the start of the show, I reminisced about my elementary school years.  I was quite the talent show enthusiast.  I remember wearing 70’s disco-glitter, silver bell bottoms while line dancing to the Bee Gees “Night Fever.”  The younger kids smiled and cheered on and we all had a blast.  There was no feeling of competition, only an atmosphere of total happiness and enthusiasm.

I felt the same wave of loving energy while I was seated on the floor with the elementary students.  The group of older students came out to announce and all faces were turned to the stage, looks of wonder throughout.  Everyone got quiet during performances and in between the applause was so loud at times that the announcers were inaudible.  I could hear, “She’s so beautiful!” and “He’s my favorite!” as the boys and girls enjoyed each and every second of the program.  My inner child felt in harmony.

~ Enthusiasm ~

The energy of young children is so pure and powerful.  As I left the school I felt that I had participated in an outpouring of golden, healing light from our little neighborhood to all those on the planet in need.  It was not an intentional act on the part of the children, but an act that occurs automatically when we as humans remember our natural state of joy.

My wish is that You return to this natural state of joy today for the supermoon, and every day after.

In Quietude, Beth

“The evolution of your time-space-reality is nothing more than people having experience and coming to conclusions of desire that then Source Energy answers. And the evolution, actually the speed of it, has to do not so much with the desires that are being born, although they certainly are a significant part of it, but the speed is more about how quickly do people let go of the old thought and begin addressing the new thought, and it works for you and against you, depending upon what you are giving your attention to.”

The Joy of Synchronicity

I have a strong love for synchronicity and enjoy noticing its occurance every day in my life.  Synchronicity is a name used to define an event or circumstance that has no reason for happening, however, it is important for the person(s) within the situation.  A similar word is serendipity and there is a movie out with this name starring John Cusak, which I highly recommend viewing.

Serendipity

As you become more aware of synchronicity in your life, it becomes more aware of you and the wonderful adventure begins.  For example, my guides and angels know that I have a connection with numbers because I studied mathematics in college and it runs in the family.  So I decided to learn about numerology and now find meaning and serendipity in the simplest yet unexplainable things.

IshvaraJewelry.com

Here is an example of only a few of the synchronicities which occurred for me in the past week:

1.  During the night of 9.8.10 I woke up at 1:11 then again at 4:44 then again at 5:05.

2.  On 9.9.10 I wake up again at 1:11 and 4:44.  When I woke up at 1:11 I had a word on my mind.  As I began to ponder the meaning of the word, I remembered an important event from my childhood.  This gave me a strong sense of direction on my spiritual life path.  In other words, I got a green light for my next step forward on a new career.

3. That same morning a coyote visited our back yard.  My son, Victor, said, “Mom, look, it’s a fox.”  I dismissed it, thinking we do not have foxes in our neighborhood.  When he saw him a second time, however, I went to look and saw a very healthy coyote walking casually through our yard.  He glanced my way and then left.  The third time (and yes, the #3 is significant also) he just sat up, looking directly at us, from Victor’s eyes to mine, and I got it that he was waiting to also connect with Leo, my older child.  As soon as Leo saw him, he left for good.

It turns out that each of us received a unique message.  Mine was to pick back up the pen so to speak and complete my book for children, which has the coyote as one of the main characters.  Victor’s message was about transforming from playing tricks on himself to knowing that he is perfect already.  Leo’s message was about being able to tell jokes and laugh at himself in life.

4. The gym I attend is usually very crowded in the mornings and parking is limited.  As I am driving to the facility I ask my guides for my favorite parking space, right in front of the new entrance.  I haven’t calculated, but almost every time my space is available and I offer appreciation for it, especially on those cold, rainy days.

5. On 9.10.10 I wake up at 1:11 then 4:44 again.  I think of a friend and then see her at a pet store.

6. On 9.11.10 I wake up at 6:24 and then 6:33 and realize this is 6:6 and the number 3 for the trinity. I also remember a dream I had during the night and am able to understand it’s implications for me on that particular day.  I take the kids for a hike and we see a mass of garter snakes, intertwined, moving about and undisturbed by our proximity.  I immediately receive their message and share it with the boys, who receive joyfully as we continue.  Victor bought a small bug specimen container for the hike and wanted to find a snake to put in it for good viewing.  I said that it would have to be a tiny snake to be able to fit in the small space, so sure enough he finds one that is no more than 3″ long and Leo catches it for him.  The baby brown snake is happy when he is released next to a small stream soon after.

If you are interested in connecting with the joy of  synchronicity in your life then you are already on the right path!  Blessings and Light, Beth

Disneyland: 5 Life Lessons I Learned On Vacation

Minnie and Mickey Mouse

I recently went on a week-long vacation with my husband, 2 young sons and mother-in-law to Anaheim, CA.  We rented a house only 5 minutes from the main Disney parks and each day was fully planned with wonderful adventure, activities, food and fun.  The weather was a nice change from Portland’s chilly and rainy air because the sun came out every day and it warmed up to 70+ degrees F most days.

San Diego Zoo

It was not Spring Break for the boys so they were required to finish homework each morning before we left the house.  This method worked very well because by the time we came home at the end of the day they were way too tired for anything else!

Legoland California

Our adventures took us to Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Legoland, The San Diego Zoo and Balboa Beach.  Each day was enjoyable and I learned several life lessons along the way.  Here is a list of my top 5:

1. CONNECT WITH YOUR INNER CHILD. This is essential when going to Disneyland and other adventures.  Remember what it was like to be a child and go on your first thrilling ride and then take this energy with you when you go on rides as an adult.  It will boost your enthusiasm and you will find much pleasure in even the three-year old rides.  When we returned and I was at the local grocery store check-out, the teenager bagger asked me if Disneyland is really the happiest place on earth.  My response, “Absolutely! As long as I am joyous anyplace on earth is the happiest!”
2. BE YOUR OWN GUIDE. Whether you are in an amusement park with 10,000 other people or at the grocery store with 20, it is important to follow your intuition or gut instinct.  When you are following your inner guidance system you can be confident and self-assured instead of worrying about what other people think or say about you.  Go ahead and scream, laugh or cry on the rides!
3. THINK POSITIVE. Some of the rides at these theme parks are extreme and frightening for children as well as adults.  It is important to release any fear you have about the ride before you go on it because The Universal Law of Attraction says that like attracts like.  In other words, if you are afraid you will get hurt and you take this energy with you onto the ride, then your chances of actually suffering as a result magnify.  Of course, follow the safety protocols for the rides and if you qualify then either don’t go on the ride if you are unable to shift your energy about it, or think of something that makes you feel happy and tell yourself, “I can go on this ride, have fun and be safe!”  I learned my lesson about this when the extreme ride me and my 8-year-old son wanted to ride malfunctioned and then we had to wait to ride it.  Luckily, in the interim I was able to shift my energy so that the ride was a blast!
4. FORGIVE OTHERS. The majority of people we encountered were friendly, however, there were occasionally people who were not, including rude and impatient people and one verbally aggressive man.  At these times when the other person’s behavior was not intentionally provoked by our group, I realized that forgiving them was best.  When you forgive another person you release the negative emotions surrounding it from yourself and you are then able to continue with fun and fabulous adventures!  While in Legoland, I was far from a family and heard the man verbally assaulting his wife.  When I turned to look he shouted hateful remarks toward me.  I turned him in to the park security, prayed for forgiveness and cleansed the negative frequencies from the interaction so much so that I did not even remember the incident until I began writing about forgiveness.
5. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Let’s face it, 5 straight days of extra long excitement can wear anybody down.  Instead of sticking to a previously scheduled plan of events, it is beneficial to be flexible and to rest when necessary.  We ended up skipping Friday’s activities and hanging out at home and by the pool to rest instead.  It paid off because the next day we were able to fully enjoy our last day in California and our last day in Disneyland!
