Doreen Virtue’s Weekly Oracle Card Reading for this week ended with the 'God' card. Doreen explained that we are reminded to see God in everyone including ourselves - to look past the ego of the person to God’s essence which resides in every one of us. As I mentioned in last week’s blog, God can be found in all of his creation, if we look at it with an open
Hubby and I have had a few challenges this week, but rather than focus on those, I’d like to focus on the miracles that happen in our lives every day. Millions of miracles happen every day, but we often take them all for granted: The miracle of life, where so many systems work together to allow us to exist on this planet. How often do we stop to think of all
During my studies of other religions, particularly Islam, I have been reading about the history of nations and societies. In the process, I have come to consider the freedoms which we sometimes take for granted in this country, Australia, and without which life could be less than fulfilling, or perhaps even miserable. As I considered all of our freedoms, I wondered firstly how much do we really appreciate
I was looking out for a sign for my blog this week, when I spied a Praying Mantis on my window. She is a rare visitor to my household, so I wondered if she had a message for me. In hindsight I could have asked her personally, using the skills that I learned during my animal communication courses, but, at the time, I was in a hurry to get my
I watched the old movie, High Society, last night. You know the one – with Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby playing a divorced couple who end up getting married again, after Grace’s character first has a brief fling with Frank Sinatra’s character, which ends her engagement to another man. As Grace’s character reminisces about her first honeymoon aboard the boat called True Love, we hear the song of the
I knew that, being my last blog before Christmas, (my first blogging Christmas), it would seem appropriate for me to write a blog about Christmas and what it means. I realised that this would be difficult, as Christmas means different things to different people. Perhaps if I could find out about the origins of this celebration, I would understand. I read a number of theories about the origins of December 25th
As often happens, my blog this week is inspired by a song (Heaven Is A Place On Earth, written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley, and recorded by Belinda Carlisle). When I woke up with the song playing in my head, I thought this could be the subject of this week’s blog. When I heard it a little while later on the radio, I knew it was confirmation. I knew
I have just been reading an article in Cosmos, a magazine about the ‘science of everything’ (thanks Jennifer). The article was about tickling rats and making them laugh (rats laugh ultrasonically, apparently). It also talked about the laboratory rats exhibiting all of the same basic emotions as humans: fear, joy, anger, and love. Electrical stimulation of particular parts of the brain produced the same results in those laboratory rats, as
In Billie Dean’s Animal Whispers newsletter this week, she mentioned that she and a lot of other people were getting the feeling that “something big was getting closer. That it was time to step into our medicine. What Lightworkers and Wayshowers and Pioneers and Earthkeepers and Animal Warriors all came here to do. Be the Light.” I started to contemplate what my role in this might be. Although I know
Nothing happens by accident. There are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason, even if you never know what that reason is. Everything is always happening for the highest good of all involved. This concept is illustrated by an old Buddhist tale: It is the story of an old farmer whose only horse ran away. That evening, the neighbours gathered to commiserate with him since this was such bad luck.
