An original poem about 175 year old apple tree and a the 97 year old woman who protects it.

 I personally have read 27 of Alice Hoffman's books - this is a photo of my collection. She wrote her first book at 21 and has just finished writing her latest book at 69. 

The ‘Year of the Ox’ Solar Calendar began Feb 4th 2021
We are now 4 months away from the 'Year of the Tiger' that will bring very different energies with the shift - are you ready for the changes that Tiger will bring?

 "My world has expanded into the far reaches of the open sky – It is my ceiling. My walls have moved backwards into the forests that are home to the still-wild animals that shield them from humans who would find them intrusive and perhaps a nuisance.

 The Root Chakra is associated with the first task we undertake after birth, and that is to determine “Do I belong here?” …on this Earth and in this family system. It is not a conceptual question based on (thinking) cognition. It is instinctual. 

Blue Heron asks you to look inside and nurture all aspects of yourself. Embrace your “flaws”, uniqueness, and feelings of shame with self-love. Once you love your whole self and find your inner peace, you’ll be able to bring peace to others, spreading healing throughout the world.

Beech reminds us to seek truth by using our minds to gain knowledge while listening to our hearts for wisdom. 

During this important time of 'Birth', when we have the opportunity to bring forth the authentic essence of our selves; a revealing of what is the truest and deepest expression of our heart.  

 It is time to show a little trust and patience in some life situation. You may have forgotten that you will always receive that which you need, at the time you need it most. 

 The crow represents change or transformation. But much more than that, it refers more to a spiritual or emotional change. These intelligent birds give us valuable insight into situations around us and help us adapt as needed. 

The Inspiration of Feng Shui comes from nature, through the placement of intentional color, materials, shapes, and elements. It is a branch of Chinese Medicine, suggesting the quality of our environments contribute greatly to our overall health and well being. 

 'Manifest your intentions from a place of inspired joy'. If you have been trying to make decisions, figure something out or look for the path forward, step aside from your intellect , your busy mind, and the 'reasons' that might propel you to 'do' or 'not do' something. Instead, place it in your heart center and try and sense the essence of 'joy' that may come of it. 

In ancient traditions and in many cultures across the world, stories of the ancestors or 'those who came before' held a importance or a significance we seem to be missing from our life in modern times, especially if these stories involved misdeeds or wrong doings. 

'Wolf Spider' - She who carries her children on her back until they mature' - This image led me to think of Mother Earth hosting 'humanity' as well as all the other life forms that dwell on our planet, and how she 'carries' us patiently and lovingly until perhaps we ' mature and evolve'! 

Roots, leaves and flowers, this gentle healing plant offers comfort and relief from suffering in every expression. What do you need relief from?

 When we work with white light and the concept of unconditional love, what we are really doing is acknowledging the ever constant presence of the sun, which illuminates and gives life to our planet. Without the sun, there is no life.
