SQUIRRELS AND PEACE
I have found that squirrels love the energy of peace just as much as I do. At the Squirrel Yoga class by the pool at my home yesterday the attendees were acting a bit "squirrely" at first but only until I got in the present moment, centered, and still. Choosing to be still allows me to create a sacred space by connecting with the divine in me. I then emanate the energy of peace from my entire being. It's amazing how I can connect with nature, animals and any human being when I "return" to my true nature - peace and love. When I connect in with the peace within me the squirrels immediately begin to connect in with the peaceful energy I am emanating. I know the moment this occurs because they start coming closer and closer to the feeling I am extending to everything around me. Many times I close my eyes and just listen which allows me to began to tune into all the sounds of nature. I hear the birds chirping, the bamboo moving in the wind, and I can also hear my little squirrel friends crunching on sunflower seeds just a foot or two away from me and that is the best sound ever. |
AN OWL GRACES ME WITH THE ENERGY OF WISDOM ON SUMMER SOLSTICE 2019
Early one morning in June I stepped outside to fill the bird feeders when I discovered an owl perched in the tree right above me. I went back into the house to get my phone to so I could take a picture of this beautiful creature. I also had a thought flow in to get my yoga mat and sit beneath the tree. So that's what I did. For the next hour the owl and I sat looking at one another. Wow! What a blessing these creature teachers are for us. The owl was demonstrating for me such power, stillness, grace, and patience. |
A RACCOON FRIEND POSES FOR THE CAMERA
One day I was sitting outside and heard a rustling sound behind me. I thought it was one of my squirrel buddies, instead I encountered this cute raccoon who was passing through. It looks like he's posing for the picture. I love animals and nature. What a blessing to share this place I call home with these lovely creatures. |
THE FOX DEN BY OUR FRONT DOOR
My husband and I are blessed to live in a very sacred space that we call home. We are just the custodians or caretakers if you will, in the true sense we don't own it, and it doesn't own us. We share in a relationship of love with it and each day it brings for a new gift for our heart to experience. The first time we drove down the driveway with a realtor, to look at the property, we were captivated. The enormous oak tree greeted us with its powerful energy as we pulled up in front of the house. After experiencing the energy of being on this property for just an hour we looked no further, and wrote a purchase agreement that very night. About 6 months after moving in I discovered a fox den, just 45 feet from our front door! This beautiful fox graces us with his presence as he goes in and out of his den. |
AN ARMADILLO PASSES THROUGH
Early one morning in March 2020 I was guided to sit outside by the great tree stump we have in our back yard. I unrolled my yoga mat and sat in the early morning stillness listening to the birds awaken and begin to sing their songs to embrace the new day. As I sat with my legs crossed listening to the birds I began to hear a rustling in the underbrush off to my left, as the creature making the sound came closer I began to hear a "clickity-clack, clickity-clack, clickity-clack as its feet made contact with the pool decking made of brick. And then the coolest thing happened! The armadillo walked right in front of me! It was an armadillo, so focused on his mission of finding breakfast that he or she didn't even know I was there. And then, just like that off he or she went with its little head to the ground on a mission looking for grubs and other insects. |
LOUNGING WITH A SQUIRREL FRIEND
One day was relaxing in one of the two lounge chairs we have by the pool. I was enjoying listening to the sounds of the birds and nature all around me while reading my A Course In Miracles book. A short time later, one of my squirrel friends hopped up on the lounge chair next to me. We enjoyed each others company while we relaxed together. |
OUR RESIDENT ALLIGATOR NAMED NOAH
My husband and I live in Florida on a 3-acre slice of heaven on the outskirts of a beach town. We have many sacred beings that allow us to share this space with them - fox, racoons, birds, squirrels, gopher tortoise, snakes and even an alligator. Our alligator friend resides in the pond at the back of our property. He is free to roam wherever he pleases but has claimed our pond as his home. We honor and respect him and speak to him. And in return he gifts us with his amazing beauty, stillness, and the wisdom he carries within his being. He eats the fish that live in the pond and we all live in peace together. My vision of heaven on earth realized. |
DINING WITH A TREE FROG
One summer evening a couple years ago a friend and I were dining at an outdoor restaurant. We were spending time catching up with one another when a tree frog jumped up on an empty chair at our table. It was fabulous! My friend and I laughed and welcomed our new dinner guest. Our tree frog friend sat quietly as if he or she was listening to our conversation. He remained until we finished our meal. As we got up to leave so did he or was it a she! |
