New Point of View

I went out to Wally World (Walmart) to pick up some more primer for my painting project and I was surprised to see that there was a new paint job on our Walmart! 

The Alien murals have been wiped clean. 

I found myself  rather nostalgic.  It feels as if an Era has ended.  Now, we are like the rest of America.  Boring Walmart.  No snazzy Aliens grace our walls anymore.  Not to fear..I can just head on down to Main street and I am sure I can find a few! 

Funny, how subtle changes can create new energy to see things differently in our lives.  Sometimes, without our even realizing it, we have changed our point of view.  Maybe, we have slept on a new perception..and suddenly in conversation we realize we have a different take on something that we thought we had a handle on before.

How does that happen?

  How does change happen?

  I know that most of the time it takes a concerted effort to make changes in life. Yet ,there are those changes that maybe we aren't  aware of till much later down the road. 

In circumspect, we look back and the path we are on took a little turn that we didn't notice..maybe because we were so busy navigating.  Then suddenly,  we find ourselves on a new horizon.

  A different view in front of us. 

Storms...

Often times, storms can pop up unexpectedly in life. 
 The other night a jolt of lightening & thunder unexpectedly threw me out of bed!
 The dog & cat close to follow as I went to see the storm!
 What a storm it was!

  It brought much needed rain to our little "Alien" town.  When the sun rose the grass seemed so much more green and the sky so much more blue!  Cleansing away all the muck and mire.  Maybe that is what storms are supposed to do in our interior world...When a storm comes into our lives though it is very frightening and it may destroy some things precious in our lives.  It does wash away the dirt or it makes us get out the mop that we have not used in a while and clean it up!  Storms force us to deal with situations.  The light has flashed and afterwards we must take action.  We must clean up!  So..in the next few days, I am cleaning up around my property.  Raking, picking up debris and things will be better!

Staying Busy...

Sometimes, when life throws you a curve ball the best you can do is stay busy and not get muddled in all the mess.  I have been busy with projects around the house this summer which has helped keep me from being too muddled.  Projects whether it is cleaning, focusing on a new health regime or just spending time getting refocused on what truly is important in life seems to be the right thing  for me to do now.

Life is changing and adjustments need to be made.  I have been constantly reminded to appreciate the day!  Maybe that is just a product of becoming more "Mature"!  (Don't want to say  the "O" word..nooooo..not Oprah or Obama....) 

So, I wake up in the morning to prayers for my family and friends.   Many are having so much happen in their lives.   I have to believe that there is a Bigger Hand at play and appreciate the moments of Peace and Safety.

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit in the park with some long time High School friends.  We did not have very much time but sitting down together to share a laugh and a glance made me feel safe in a way that I can't really explain. It was comforting being there together.
Here we all are...life has swirled around us but the core of who we are is the same!

It reminds me of how I feel when I take a drive out West of town and see the Capitan mountain.
It is there strong and steady.  Always there though some days the atmosphere is so odd that it seems so  distant.  Other days it is as if I could reach out and touch it...Much like God
Selah

Raise Your Hands...

Ok, Everyone!
Raise your hands...Astrologically we are reaching the Apex of Energy this weekend with the Solar Eclipse.
  Everyone, in the astrological community has been waiting for this moment for many years.  On Sunday, July 11th there will occur a Solar Eclipse and Grand Cross.
If you are interested in the specifics please google it and you will see more info than you can imagine.  I will condense it down, to the basics! 

No, the sky isn't falling but riding on this Roller Coaster it sure may feel like it on an emotional level.  But, when your world is turned upside down either by internal or external circumstances remember to look for the blessing!
  My cousin this past weekend reminded me of this.  She has gone through a heck of alot in the last three months!  When we were visiting, she reminded me of always looking for the blessing in dire circumstances..the blessing is there...we just may have to look for it!!!

Whatever circumstance you find yourself in, know that in many ways it is fated..meaning that there is no way to avoid the lesson.
 You can run but you can't hide.

So, time to pull yourself together, tighten up your seatbelt..accept the path that you have chosen and been  given in life!
Pray for Grace to carry you through and accept the responsiblity that the Divine has assigned you this go around.

Be grounded in Truth!
Be true to God.
Be true to yourself.
Be true to other people!
Raise your hands now!!!!
Wheeeeeee!!!!

Alien Madness!

 

Alien Madness has begun!

Last night in our fair city was the Opening Ceremony of the Alien Festival here in Roswell!  We have been having the remnants of Hurricane Alex which may put a damper on the fun.  My childhood memories of the 4th of July were of rain though.  In fact, in 1947, it was a lightening storm that brought down this UFO right outside of Roswell or at least that is how the story goes.

If you have never been to Roswell for the festival you must put it on your list of things to do...It is silly and fun!

I am glad that this year there will be a reprieve from the heat and hope that everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July from what ever planet you are from!

The First Day of Summer!

Happy Solstice!  Today is the longest day of the Year!  There is plenty of Sunshine in Roswell today.  Maybe, a cloud or two floating around just to tease us!  Sunshine smiles are around town.  Roswell is gearing  up for the Alien Festival around the 4th though this year there have been some miscommunication about how supportive the City is with the Alien Festival.  All in All I am sure there will be crazy fun to be had with strange aliens coming from all around to celebrate the possibility that there is life beyond little ole earth!  Summertime and the living is easy!  Let new beginnings ripen in your life like the Peaches on my Dad's tree.  The time is ripe!   The past you have sown seed and now it is  come to fruition!  That which you have put in motion is going full steam ahead!  With graduations, new jobs, new homes, comes new experiences!

 Cut  the dead wood  out of your life...get rid of those weeds and enjoy the fruits of your labor! 

Wow!  What a ride of Emotion this week!  I don't know about you but this energy has been intense.
  I have heard Happy & Sad Surprising news.  I am hoping that things will calm down this next week.  Adjustments will be made from all of the Truths that have been revealed!
Truth will set you Free.
Yet, truth can be like a big glass of water thrown in your face to wake you up! 
Change..maybe change that you have been wishing for is here now.  Time to adapt and see the road not taken and burn the bridges behind you! 
With this energy ..the universe is pushing the envelope for change..whether it is in your relationships, health...living or working environment.
Something is giving! 
Love is giving you a new opportunity to step out into the unknown.
Excitement, Challenge, but just remember we are tethered together as we ascend this next summit.
Be strong..Hold on!  Scream if you must and let's enjoy the ride~~~~~
