Greetings Friends!
As always, I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy, ...and feeling loved :)
"I know you feel these are the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people lock their doors and hide inside
Rumor has it it's the end of Paradise
But I know, if the world just passed us by
Baby I know, you wouldn't have to cry
The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find these are the best of times
These are the best of times
The headlines read 'these are the worst of times'
I do believe it's true
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide
I wish the summer winds could bring back Paradise
But I know, if the world turned upside down
Baby, I know you'd always be around
The best of times are when I'm alone with you
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best, forget the rest
And someday we'll find these are the best of times
These are the best of times"
("Best of Times" lyrics by Styx)
Well, isn't this something? That song sort of sums up a lot of what I'm feeling right now. A real mixed bag of energies and emotions going on ...and I think I feel like talking about it.
But first, I just want to say....thanks for being so patient. It's been a minute since I've had a chance to slow down and actually put together a newsletter. I started writing one for February and I don't know what happened, except life maybe? And now March has come in like a lion. A big, fat annoying (and somewhat scary)....lion. I'm praying that it also goes out like a lamb.
So, I suspect many of you are sitting at home, scratching your heads and wondering what the #&@! is going on in the world. Well, you may not be. But I am. At least a decent portion of my day is spent doing that. I scroll through Facebook. I see statistics. I listen to experts and people who look like experts but I'm not 100% sure if they know what they think they know. I educate myself on the importance of social distancing and on finding a healthy balance between having too much and too little toilet tissue on hand. I feel the energy of the world as it toggles between the high vibrations of unity, kindness, and love....and then spirals back down to the depths of panic, survival instincts, and fear. And as a marginally functioning member of the human race...I, too, toggle. Two days ago I was highly emotional, felt heaviness in my chest, and thought I might be dying. Yesterday I realized that none of that was mine. The night before last, I had two nightmares where I was in a card accident.....TWO car accidents (totally different scenarios) that woke me out of my slumber twice in the SAME night! I don't think I've ever been in an accident in my dreams before so this was super bizarre. Come to find out, car accidents in dreams speak to feeling out of control. Go figure.
Me on Thursday:
But then the other hours of my day are spent reflecting and connecting and remembering the truth (well, what I believe to be true). That this is all going to be okay. That what we are experiencing is necessary for many reasons - even (and especially) for those reasons we may not fully understand. We may see sickness, but we are healing. Our families are healing. Our bodies are healing. Our planet is healing. Sickness forces us to slow down and to get better.
This is not to minimize the suffering that is taking place. There is, and will be, loss and pain. This is the dance of our human experience - to go through the darkness so that we can know the light. It's not easy, but it is the reason we are here and it's what our Souls signed up for. My heart truly does go out to all those who are struggling and to all those who are grieving right now. My heart also knows that everything is playing out exactly as it needs to.
Yes, the energy right now is off and, yes, I am feeling it... like many of you. But I don't like being in that low vibrational energy. Not at all. Not one bit. So, what can we do? How do we move through the fears and other low level energies? Well, we do what we can, when we can, to raise it up! We engage in high vibrational activities - listen to uplifting music, laugh, sing, create, and move. Get outside and walk. If you can't walk, sit. Listen to the healing sounds of nature. Call someone you haven't talked to in a long time. Find something to be grateful for. Have a dance party in your living room. Get back to the basics. Cook hearty meals and watch standup comedy. Limit negative energy exposure - time on social media, watching the news, and fear based conversations. Read that book. Charge your batteries and then help others in whatever ways you can. Meditate. Meditate. And meditate some more. Get reacquainted with yourself and with the Universe.
Fear is contagious. But so is love. Spread wisely.
That's about all I've got for now, ya'll. As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. I think I'm going to get outside and take a walk. Maybe grab some clean leaves to have handy....just in case.
Be smart. Be safe. Be kind. Vibe high.
Sending love out to all those who need/want it and prayers to those who may be hurting today. May you find peace in your heart and a smile on your face no matter what is happening in your world And if you need a place to go to lift your spirits, I hope you'll stop by sometime (virtually for now, of course) :)
What's happening at Light Works this month?
Welllll....not much!
Due to the risks involved with group gatherings, I have cancelled all remaining March events and classes. Stay tuned for next month's calendar of events, as well as some possible virtual activities!
In the meantime, I am still honoring my private session appointments on a case by case basis. If you have an in-person appointment with me this month and wish to change it to a phone or video conference session, please let me know.
Also, I am currently offering the following specials to help us get through these coming weeks:
1) A free angel card reading for every phone reading booked through April 30th (a $50 value)
2) A free angel card reading for every $100 in gift certificates purchased (a $50 value) - gift certificates are good for a year!
3) 30% OFF all angel card readings (8 or 14 card spreads) - Need a quick message from your angels? Let me tune in to your spirit 'team' and pull some cards for you! Angel card readings are delivered via email.
As always, new things are popping up on the Light Works Meetup page . Be sure to join the group to receive announcements. Stay tuned, stay connected, and stay in touch!
Sending lots of healing energy and LOVE to you all...hope to see you soon!
In love & light,
