Final Days of Fall

The above photo is of a park/water runoff storage at the end of my street.  Reggie and I walk by there every day and some days, the colors are so vivid and bright, they fill me with a sense of joy and energy.  I take photos of these same trees at different times of the day with the light on the leaf colors so brilliant.

When I turn to drive up to my street, the above photo shows the beauty of the trees and the area.  It makes me so happy to see the area where I live, to see the trees and the majesty with which they stand and display their beautiful colors and shapes.

Every morning when I walk a few more leaves have fallen off the trees, photo below, and I cherish them all, the ones that are still on and those that are laying on the ground. Some trees have released all of their leaves and are in a rest mode having completed their work for the year.  They have been vassals to be used by Spirit for our great enjoyment and well-being.

The trees remind me of a song, I Will Be, by Michael Gott and of why I came back to Earth after my second near-death experience.  The trees remind me that they, and I, am here to be used for whatever Spirit needs of me.  The below words touch me so deeply as does the music.

 

Here I am

A vassal to be used

Whatever Spirit needs of me

I will be, I will be, I will be.

 

Here I stand

My heart is here to serve

Wherever love is leading me

I will go, I will go, I will go.

 

Here

Here I am

 A vassal to be used

Whatever Spirit needs of me

I will be, I will be, I will be.

I was almost home from an early morning walk after the rain with the clouds still hovering over the area, when I noticed a heart-shaped opening with wing-like clouds, pure blue sky, and the sun back-lighting the clouds.  Spirit greeting me and blessing me with the message that I am always enfolded in wings on high in the Light.  It took my breath away and I stopped to just be with the moment.

And so, here Reggie and I are, vassals to be used, our hearts are here to serve wherever love is leading us, we will go, we will go, we will go; whatever Spirit needs of us, we will be, we will be, we will be.  Nancy and Reggie♥

Birthday Gifts – Friends

There is a friend who is close to my heart as we have journeyed beside each other for the last fourteen years, through fun spiritual work and play, lunches and dinners, through the deaths of both of our husbands, and through my moves.  We celebrate each other’s birthdays together when we can.  We created a tradition of play with weekly Face Time and other phone calls, emails, texts, and as well as cards for different occasions.  We created a celebration of life in all its forms, ages and stages, by encouraging and supporting each other along the way to find the positive in all, the lesson to be learned, the joy to be shared and to be open to Spirit.  This visit she shared one of her new affirmations:  At every stage of life I am timeless, ageless, and ever evolving.

The spiritual connection was made before we came into this life and we acknowledge it with laughter saying we agreed to meet at this time, date, and place.  It is more than a connection; it is a joining of two souls for the greater good of all.  A vortex is automatically created that opens to the high realms.  Together the energy, vibration, and frequency of each of us raises to a higher level and remains there.  We remark to each other that we are being off-loaded of that which no longer serves us and uploaded with the new higher energy, vibration, and frequency for our next spiritual phase.

This birthday was special as she flew from Oregon to spend several days with me just to be together, doing whatever spiritual work we each had to do, then going shopping, eating at home and at restaurants, going to the movie to see A Star is Born, watching Longmire on Netflix, and opening ourselves to be changed by Spirit.  She took me to a delicious lunch where we shared our dreams about relationships and family.  Simple, beautiful times with my friend, relaxing in the knowledge that we don’t need words as our hearts know of the love flowing between us and All That Is.  Gentle, quiet acceptance that we are each Spirit expressing as humans.

My friend of 30 years in Redding, CA sent me a birthday gift before my birthday.  It came without a card, but I knew intuitively it was from her.  She sent me a bird feeder with a copper top and rail.  It hangs outside my patio door so I can watch the birds enjoy the food.  Her card came the next day and we talked with each other.  I stop to see her every time I go through Redding on my way to Mount Shasta.  It is a tradition we both enjoy, seeing each other in person, and catching up on what has been happening in our lives and with our little dogs.  My deceased husband comes to me as a Blue Bird and the first bird on the feeder was this Blue Bird.  Gifts from a dear friend and gifts from Spirit.  Such love flowing through the years, through moves, life events, and a spiritual connection.  Spirit keeping our hearts and souls connected.

A dear Circle friend invited me to lunch after everything settles down as we share our lives at a deeper level which brings both of us great joy and insight.  At Halloween, I was sharing with her that I kept moving the M&M Chocolate Peanut bags of candy to the bottom of the basket, so I would have some if the children didn’t take all the treats as they are my favorites.  The children took all of the treats, so there were none left.  On my birthday afternoon, she brings her love over with a warm hug, a lovely card, and a beautiful gift bag with a big bag of M&M Chocolate Peanuts.  Spirit nudging a friend to bring me a special treat at a special time – how very clever and delightful.

Another friend who lives around the corner surprised me the evening of my birthday bringing me a warm hug, a beautiful sparkling Royal Blue box with a big matching ribbon on it, and lots of love.  Inside the box were Mandarin Oranges from her tree and many crystals tucked around the Mandarins; she said the crystals wanted to come to my house.  We shared news about our lives since the last time we visited.  It was such a joyful ending to my day.  Spirit bringing a friend to nurture my body, mind, and soul with her delicious and fun gifts and her warm heart.

Old and new friends, friends close and those from afar, sent cards, called, texted, posted Facebook messages, and emailed me with wonderful birthday wishes for the day and year.  Messages that reflect to me their love of me and my place in their lives.  Treasures cherished each moment of each day in ways that only friends create, a place of freedom, of understanding, of acceptance, of appreciation and of love for who I am in each of my moments.  Gifts reflected from Spirit through friends that last a lifetime and beyond.  Gifts that nurture my heart and soul, my very Beingness.

Reggie loves my friends as they make over him while they are visiting with me.  He jumps in their laps and gives them kisses (if they let him) and makes his little body available for petting.  He stays by my Oregon friend when she is here basking in the love she gives him.  They have a special bond in that she encouraged me to adopt and keep him when she saw his photo when I was considering rescuing him as she knew we needed each other.  He walks all over a couple of my friends, giving them kisses on their faces, nuzzling their necks, and just seeing how much he can get away with.  Friends loving my little boy and me filling us with gratitude that Spirit has brought us so many beautiful, loving friends.  Nancy and Reggie♥

Birthday Gifts – Family

My birthday was November 12 and I have experienced 78 years with Spirit within and around me every moment protecting, guiding, and connecting me in all the ways appropriate for my journey.

My birthday started on November 1st when Spirit brought me messages of insight, joy, vision, and deep introspection.  These messages are about moving on in my life in a different way than I have for the last several years.  They are about allowing myself to receive without thinking about giving back; just receive whatever the gift is, given in whatever way it is given, and rejoicing with the essence of my being.  Opening this deeply brings in such a sense of purity that it floats through me with a lightness that is indescribable.  It is as though I am free in the Light and Love of All That Is on The Other Side.

My 101-year-old aunt (above last month) called to wish me Happy Birthday and relate, as she has every year since I was born, that it was a snowy day with a cold wind and the family milked the cows so Dad could be at the hospital when I was born.  She has sent me a card each year and money when she could.  Love strong, steady and true through the ages and stages of my life along with memories so lovingly conveyed each year.  Her mind still clear and sharp and she has no grey hair.  There is such sweetness to her face, such grace at this time of her life; she is the gift to us.  Gifts beyond measure through the family lineage.

My two sisters (above) sent me cards and a gift card so I could select anything I want.  Normally I save the money they give me for use when I need it.  This year, I allowed myself to go shopping and just buy what I wanted – a new throw, two new soft green towels, a bar of good rose soap, and other things.  It filled me with joy to play in a store just for the fun of it.  Memories so lovingly gifted to me through money and my sisters are a part of each one.  Calls, cards, emails, Facebook messages, and texts came from nieces, nephews, and cousins filling each moment of my birthday days with such love.  Spirit revealing how very blessed I am to have family who love me and each other so much.

My son and daughter and their spouses (above) came to visit November 8 through 11.  I was so excited I was beside myself the day before as it is rare for all of them to come together.  They remind me of the times when my sister and her husband and my husband and I did things together; precious times that make memories in the soul.  It gave me such joy to observe them interconnect so beautifully with each other without words, playing together easily knowing each other’s humor and subtle nuances.  They are each individually above the norm in intelligence, in their dedication to their careers, in the devotion to family, and in their ability to feel with those around them in the family and in the world.  They each allow Spirit in their lives in different ways.  They are innately good people making the world a better place.  This is how Spirit showed them to me as souls staying on their own spiritual paths, yet being a greater blessing together.  Such unique gifts to be consciously aware of and to have the privilege to share were gifts of the heart that filled my birthday with a reverent gratitude.  It felt like a special gift to be given a view of the depth of my family’s spirit.

Their gifts to me were many from the first hugs to the last each day, to helping in the kitchen with meals, to finding different TV programs, to fixing the gate so the little dog could not get out, to advising me that the garden shed I had was rusted through and I needed a new one.  Then they walked beside me with sound advice while a Tuff Shed appropriate for my needs was selected.  Working together they all easily emptied the old shed while I was resting so it could be taken down the next day by my yard man.  We were going to do it after I rested; they quietly and efficiently took care of it.  They switched the mattresses on my bed so quickly and effortlessly, changed bedding, and did other things that I just mentioned.  Spirit giving me the view of the quality of their souls and allowing me to experience receiving their gifts of love.

Exploring Auburn Old Town, Downtown, and New Town, going to Nevada City walking up and down the main street, enjoying meals at the Brewery and Awful Annie’s in Auburn, Lefty’s Grill in Nevada City and then for my birthday lunch at Max’s Restaurant in Auburn.  We all went to the grocery store to shop for a meal and it was such fun to see what each wanted, the fun juices, lunch meats, and snack items, more gifts in the way of things new to me.  One noon I fixed fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans with bacon, and country gravy which was cooking like I used to for the family bringing back memories.  Each meal we ate at home, we joined hands around the table to give thanks for the meal with those of us so moved praying like we used to do.  It was all I could do not to cry in gratitude for the time together around the table with each beautiful face there for me to look at, to listen to, and to love.  My nephew and his wife joined us for my birthday lunch bringing their open hearts, loving words and experiences to share.  Rare and precious times treasured in my heart.

My other daughter could not be here, but sent beautiful gifts, a card, called, and enfolded me in her love from afar like she does every birthday.  Three of my grandchildren texted or called me with their unique birthday wishes.  They are each different and it is such fun to experience their individual ways of expressing.  Spirit blessing me with their precious love and creativity.

This was a time to pass on things to my son and daughter that I wanted them to have from their father and from me.  With each thing I wrote a letter to each sharing the history of the item, the qualities of the one it came from, and reflecting the qualities in each of them that they mirrored.  Treasure boxes were created with their names on top and the words Love, Mom on the inside cover of the box so as other things are passed on, they can add them to the box.  Memories and love shared in a legacy from my deceased husband and I to enfold them in the love we feel for them.  Spirit blending and expanding the Spirit of their father on The Other Side with mine to bless us all in ways known and unknown now and forevermore.

We were in an elevated energy, vibration and frequency during their visit including the trip back to the airport for them to return to their homes and lives.  Our weekend together stays with me as a time that changed us all so easily and beautifully with a love that transcends this life.  The gift of their presence for this birthday, the cards, gifts, their loving words, gestures, and the generosity of spirit of each is imprinted upon my soul for all time.  I am grateful to Spirit for the ways that enrich me with an expanded awareness of the depth of love and the meaning of family that their visit brought to me.  Grace infusing me so lovingly and richly it takes my breath away.

Reggie resting on my new throw.

Reggie was so excited with his extended family here to love on him.  He moved from lap to lap, from chair to sofa, and from heart to heart basking in their attention.  He followed them wherever they went inside or outside, knowing he is included in the family and sharing his Light and Love with each of them.  His world was filled with so much excitement and joy with walks, trips to Home Depot, and sharing in the joy and love of family.  Birthday gifts from Spirit and from our precious family to be remembered for all time, how grateful we are.  Nancy and Reggie♥
