Mercury Retrograde (Communication Planet)

"For the next few weeks you could feel like you're driving backward in a swamp without a rear view mirror after a few shots of tequila." Simone Butler states in her most recent blog.   http://astroalchemy.com/driving-backward-in-a-swamp-2-22-13/ 

Mercury Retrograde officially began at 1:41 this morning, however you may have been feeling its effects for the past week. 

I have a friend on a vision quest (perfect timing...spiritual support) and he's coming up with the craziest experiences, so crazy, you'd think they're made up, but not so! (Mercury Retrograde - magnifying our vulnerabilities and fantasies, but also bringing deep insights through our intuition and dreams! ) 

He's learning to stay awake and conscious on his journey. He's a 75 year old male. In the beginning of his trip he was getting picked up by hookers (LOL) and his journey last night took him to a bikers bar! When asked if he voted for Obama by a biker chick and he said yes, he was advised to leave quickly...which he did, (without any emotions attached)....something he possibly wouldn't have done a week ago! Nice job G! 

The muck that's being stirred up in our lives is a gift for us to see what's lurking in the bottom of the pond in our life. Where are we holding in our bodies past hurts that are now being exposed, allowing healing on a deeper level. 

Let it happen. Stay present and breathe....deep slow breathing, all that matters is the breath! 

Don't let fears and frustrations rule this next phase of your life. Practice Clear-Direct, Communication in every moment and let your imagination imagination use the stirred up muck as fertilizer for new creative projects!! Happy Creating! 

CONFIDENCE FOR SHARING OUR PASSIONS

Have you been waiting on pins and needles wanting to know what the second thing that I observed from the confident 20 year old male, teaching us older folks hip hop?

You may have guessed it from my first sentence....confidence! He didn't need a piece of paper, a certificate or degree to feel like he had something to share with the rest of us.

He simply was sharing his passion, what he loved to do and he was being supported financially because he was following his calling, the gift that he brought into the world to share with others.

It's the movement that I talk about in my work, from the 1st to the 2nd Half of Life. The first half, head knowledge and The Shift, to the 2nd half, intuition, what we know. (Read more about this in my two books available of evolvetolive.com)

Many from the older generations, including myself, have struggled, knowing that we too possess pieces of the puzzle of life, but feel like, well, have been told that, we need a piece of paper to prove it! It's absolute nonsense and this young man proved it.

Certainly there is a place for education, but that's not what I'm referring to here.

I watched this young man in awe of the poise that he carried about knowing that he had a gift to share and it's worth others supporting him in his passion!
What is your passion? What is the gift that you bring to share with the rest of us? Thank you for the courage to share it with us!

PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO YOUR INTUITION

I had a speaking engagement at my Bishop friend’s retirement community in Sacramento. It had been scheduled previously and rescheduled for yesterday. It made no financial sense to keep this engagement but I knew I was going to go anyway. I had plans to leave Monday afternoon after meeting with the lady that I housesit for. (Side note: She wants me to stay until the house sells! Come and play!!)

By the time we were finished it didn’t feel time to leave. I’ll go Tuesday. I Got everything packed. Tuesday 3:30AM...."Why isn’t anything in the car...is this not the day to travel?” I asked myself. Back "in bed....5 minutes later...up again at the computer....”You don’t have to leave today....you can fly tomorrow!” (15 hour drive) Southwest, 6:45AM flight, no plane change/no layover and arriving in Sacramento at 10:10AM. My mentor had wished me 'safe travels and be gentle with yourself.' This was gentle! I pushed the button to purchase this $350 flight!! Back to bed and panty twist time! Are you kidding me? $350? I could have bought it several weeks ago for $89. "You didn’t know several weeks ago how you were getting there,” answered the wise parents inside. It’s over, done....back to sleep!

Got in the car the next AM to drive to Tucson and I thought, ‘I will miss the vision quest driving!'

29 people boarded the plane before me and no one picked either of the front rows. I always go to the back where there are vacant seats if the flight isn’t full. But this time....front and center! A little later, a lady came and sat next to the window. She revealed that she never sits in the front. We had an amazing visit. Her business of buying houses in the south of Tucson and renting them to Section 8 tenants and she has a property management company. (Which she will help me with if I want to reinvest) She has a condo on the beach in Mexico and is a Reiki Practitioner and massage therapist. We talked about my books, she gave me some contacts. Wow...glad I flew on this flight....(to be continued)

I help people, get clarity when I’m away…when I’m traveling….thank you for these people that have been put in my path….thank you for my living consciously, paying attention to my feelings….no it’s not time to go….rather than my head….it’s time to go….it will cost less…..$350 for the airplane ticket….the people….the energy….the experience…..PRICELESS!
