What Appears To Be The End Is Merely The Beginning...

I find myself in an usual place in life right now and have been doing my best to process it. My husband of ten years--the person who helped me finish raising my children and has been a partner in my own personal growth--was recently diagnosed as being in the early stages of dementia. He is 58. I am 51. This is not something a person anticipates or plans for, especially at these relatively young ages.

Lately, most of my days are struggles as I flounder wildly about just trying to keep my head above water. Fear and sadness close in on me when I focus too closely on what my life could become in the future. I worry about the potential expenses involved in taking care of someone in the latter stages of this condition--especially considering I still need to work fulltime. I worry about taking care of myself as I realize I have become dependent on him in so many ways. The only thing that saves me is focusing on the moment at hand, trying to make things as pleasant for myself and those around me as I am able. What actions can I take in the present that will bring me joy? Love? Peace?

My daily meditation time has become my refuge in the storm. Because of my high stress levels, I am much more focused and able to hear the whispers of my guardians/angels as they speak to me, reassuring me they are here to help. They encourage me to ask for what I want. They tell me to trust and that when I can do this I will be amazed at how quickly things begin to fall into place.

The irony of this situation is that I have been praying this past year for BIG changes to come into my life. I spent years hiding in the safety of my cocoon and have only recently made the conscious decision to stop playing small and use my gifts for the benefit of myself and others. Never in my wildest dreams did I anticipate something like this.

I have no real clue what my path looks like. I can see a destination--helping others heal from their life traumas while restoring balance and reducing separation, but the road is not nicely laid out in front of me. I have enough experience in life to know that what my mind sees is not the best or easiest way to get there. Life works by listening to God/Source and taking things one step at a time. At present, that is all I have the strength to do.

My life is currently in destruction mode. Ironically, the whole world is in destruction mode. We fight against the chaos and confusion because it seems as though everything we know and rely on is going to be lost. It's true. It IS going to be lost. What most of us fail to recognize is that sometimes our worlds need to fall apart in order to create something infinitely better.

Life is not at an end. We are being prepared for a new creation. Hold tight to that vision of your ideal future. It is coming.

Creating Something New!

If you haven't already noticed, the world is changing in BIG ways! Investment experts are screaming that the world financial system has collapsed because of the derivatives market ponzi scheme. Here in the US, we are having an almost unbelievable race for President where the candidates with the most momentum are not backed by the powers that be that run things behind-the-scenes. (You can tell because people continue to vote for Trump and Sanders even though the media is trying to portray they are not making progress.) Personally, I am seeing many more people wake up to the fact that the media does not tell the truth as the lies have become so large the holes are obvious. The world as we know it is falling apart, and I see this as a good thing!

How can a world in self-destruct mode be a good thing? Destruction (or de-construction) is the process that clears space to create something new! There are times in history where society becomes so twisted and warped that only a few people benefit. We are living through one of those times. Consequently, allowing a system to break apart forces people to create a new framework. The more it gets destroyed, the more room we have to build something new in its place.

The people who run our planet are afraid, and they are attempting to make us afraid. If they put out the idea that we need their system in order to survive, we are much more likely to fight the change and keep them in power. This is what allowed the big banks to be bailed out in the market crash that occurred in 2008. "Too big to fail" was the motto. Indeed, people were very much afraid their own jobs would be on the line if they didn't allow our government to save the banks. If you don't already know it, this was all a big lie. Bailing the big banks out just enabled them to fund their continuing derivatives ponzi scheme and keep it going a little while longer.

The world has literally become one centralized power, where the needs of the few have been allowed to outweigh the needs of the many. Don't believe me? You don't have to take my word for it. Here is a study, based on mathematics and science, that proves everything has been consolidated into one interconnected and very powerful entity. (Revealed--the network that runs the world) For an in-depth look at the actual study see (The network of global corporate control). The more this super-monster breaks down, the more power can be redistributed to the masses.

It is time to become the creators of our world. The de-construction of the planet's status quo is merely the opportunity to build something new in its place. We can begin by asking questions about what sort of changes can benefit the whole. As always, the answers reside in our hearts.

What If We Woke Up Tomorrow And Everything Changed?

What if we woke up tomorrow and all our banks were closed and our money was worthless? How would be get food and the things we need to survive? Would our water and electricity work? Would we still be able to get on the internet and use our cell phones? Would we still go to our jobs? Would we still try to pay our bills?

We have been told our world would erupt into chaos, that without the rules and laws and authorities we follow we would become unthinking animals who fight for existence. It's all about survival of the fittest! Every apocalyptic movie I've seen or book I've read seems to say as much.

Is that true? Would we use our guns to fight for food and water and territory? Or would we find ways for ourselves and our fellow beings to survive?

The fear and chaos scenario has been provided to us by the powers that be so that we will not be tempted to stray from their system. If we believe ending something will not turn out well, we will be unlikely to let it happen. That's why we allowed the bankers to get away with bailouts here in the United States. We were told those businesses were "too big to fail"--that ALL of our jobs and businesses were on the line if these particular businesses went belly up. Lies, lies, and more lies!!! We don't need to bail out these big businesses any more than Europeans need to live under "austerity". (Ironically, the money in both scenarios goes to the same place--the banks!!!)

The time is quickly approaching where we will face a choice: survival or destruction. We can all decide to work together and live together, or we can choose to allow those apocalyptic scenarios play out and fight for survival.

Choosing survival may not be easy at first. The material things we all currently have access to may not be as easy to come by. Here in the US, we may not even be able to obtain things like coffee as we don't directly produce it in this country and will need to negotiate trade deals with other countries to get them.

Understand that our survival will require new ways of thinking!!! Do the bankers still own everything? (My personal thoughts along those lines are that Mother Earth provides her resources freely for those on the planet. Shouldn't everyone be able to benefit from them instead of just a few?) How can we all have what we need? What is the worth of each soul?

We have the ability to work together to survive. Along the way, we may just come to the understandings we need to not only survive but thrive! The choice is ours!!!

The Power of Words

I've always been intrigued by words. In my own life, I know the many times words have been used to bring me down, put me in my "place", injure me. I remember many of the times words were used to lift me up, envision more, heal me. I have used words to help a situation. Sometimes my words have led to more chaos and destruction. Words hold great power.

I was always fascinated by certain phrases in the Bible regarding the power of words. For example, Genesis begins with God speaking the earth into existence. "And God said, 'Let there be light.' and there was light." He continues to speak and various elements appear. In the book of John in the New Testament, it begins with the phrase, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Christians commonly use this to refer to Jesus as the Word. Clearly, words hold great power.

What is it about words that contain so much power? Words are sounds, and sounds are frequencies! Everything in our world is expressed as frequency. Frequency takes on form. Consequently, sound (and words) do have great power!!!

As lightworkers, it is important to control this power. I know there are times when I said something in anger, not thinking about potential consequences, and negative things resulted. There are times when I consciously say things that I know will empower people in their gifts, and these same people are able to use that ability in even more expansive ways.

We all have so much more power than we give ourselves credit for! Understand that by harnessing the power of our words, we can expand our ability to create change in the world. Whether that expansion is creative or destructive depends on how we express our own unique frequencies.

Choose your words carefully.

The Power of Music

Music is so much a part of life that we often forget how big a role it plays in our daily lives. We listen to it on our radios and MP3 players. We sing the national anthem before ball games. Even commercials have catchy little tunes that help us remember the products they are trying to sell. Music surrounds us every day--so much so that we often take it for granted. The thing is, music is a very powerful force for both creation and destruction.

As an empath (and a musical one at that), I have always been quite sensitive to sound. I cannot listen to certain types of music for long because they tend to bring me down rather quickly. Heavy metal has always been particularly hard for me to deal with as are certain types of rap. I am most drawn to happy, upbeat sorts of tunes (pop and country often work well here). I also appreciate the haunting qualities of many songs written in minor keys. Those seem to have a mellowing, calming effect on me.

Playing music for someone who is sick or injured can have positive effects on their recovery. Many of us like to listen to strong, upbeat music when we're working out to motivate us and pass the time. We will use music as lullabies to lull our children to sleep at night. Even science has concluded that music and sound have the power to change the way people think and function by changing brainwave function.

Stop and think for a few minutes. Is there any music playing in the background right now? What sorts of music do you come into contact with throughout the day? Can you feel the emotional effects certain songs or types of music have on you?

Given all this, it is not a far reach to say that music has the power to change the world. Don't you think it's time you paid attention to what is playing in the background of your life? You might just find you can use it to change your life for the better!!!
