Holidays

Reggie and I send Spirit’s special surprises and magic to each of you this holiday season.  Each of you who connect in with us whether it be in person, by phone, via email, text, or mail bring us such joy.

Each of you who connect in by Spirit delight us.  I feel your energy, vibration, and frequency when you think my name or Reggie’s as well as when you speak it.  It is an especially heartwarming gift to me.

Each day of the year I send you Divine Blessings, Healing, Light, Love, Peace, and Release.

Each day I love humanity, the Earth, and All That Is.

Each moment I live in joy as it is all I have.

Thank you for your part in our lives.

Happy Holidays.

This holiday season, I am spending time with Spirit in a different way.  Spirit is always here, but I am more aware of the little magic that occurs.  This morning before breakfast, Reggie and I took our walk and I noticed the energy in the air was different, it was softer, gentler, and there was a finer vibration. It was as if the preparations were being managed in a calmer, less frenetic manner now.  Spirit enfolding me and humanity in a cocoon of tranquility.

The neighborhood dogs also had a different tone to their greeting.  Usually some sound ferocious like they would attack if free, others sound like they are just protecting their own property, and still others sound like they were happy someone was paying attention to them.  This morning they were all mellower in their greetings with less intense barking.  I wonder as I walk by each home where the dogs greet me if they are mirroring the energy of their owners, of the neighborhood, or of a broader range like humanity.  Spirit opening me to pay attention to the finer details of my daily walk.

Last night I found two rice-like tiny worms on the bathroom floor which caused me concern as I thought they might be on or in Reggie.  I took a picture of them, then went to the vet’s office this morning and showed them. They didn’t think they were tapeworms but fly larvae; but gave Reggie deworming medicine just in case.  Spirit making sure that everything was taken care of with Reggie before Christmas.   

Then we ran errands for Christmas and again the energy was so soft and the vibration so fine it was a joy to be out.  There were many people shopping and driving around, with patience and humor, enjoying their outings for whatever reason.  Then I knew what it was; I was in a higher dimension living in a different energy, vibration, and frequency.  Wherever other people were inside themselves did not matter as I was where Spirit had led me, to a place of joy and bliss, a place where the holiday spirit resides all of the time. 

The next errand we ran was to buy three loaves of Pumpkin Bread for my neighbors.  I went in the store and the Pumpkin Bread was still warm, fresh from the oven.  I took it home, wrote Christmas Cards and took it to two of the neighbors immediately. They were so happy to have the warm bread so all they had to do was add butter.  The other neighbor is not home, so I will deliver it as soon as they come home. Spirit providing me with the idea for the loaves of bread as a gift, then finding it had just come out of the oven was more of Spirit’s magic holiday spirit.

The holiday spirit is everywhere when it resides inside of me and I open myself to live in the state of joy and bliss.  Things fall into place, ideas come easily, people appear when I need them or just for the joy of being together.  This is my life every day filled with the holiday spirit because it is filled with Spirit.

Reggie’s lives in the holiday spirit also as he bounds to the fence next door to meet the new little puppy, Bronson, and say hello to his brother, Rocky, who is already Reggie’s friend. They play back and forth by the fence talking their dog talk and wagging tails, making each other happy.  I keep the gate between the two properties closed off as Reggie knows how to open it and would be visiting his friends whenever he wanted.  I peek through a hole in the fence to greet these two adorable dogs, talking love-talk to them, and telling them to have a wonderful day.  Spirit guiding us to spread the holiday spirit every day.  Nancy and Reggie♥

My grandparents were immigrants from Germany.  Their story is interesting in that my Grandfather first came to America at age 17.  Before he came while living in Germany, all 17-year-old boys were told they had to go into the military.  The German family tradition was that the oldest boy in the family inherited the farm and my Grandfather was not the oldest boy.  It was for these reasons that my Grandfather decided to come to America.

He immigrated to Cheney, Kansas, where he worked for room and board the first year.  In 1909 he bought and settled on a farm west of Alva, Oklahoma.  He had to live in a granary because the people in the house had scarlet fever when he came to move in, so he waited until they were over their illness.  Then he returned to Germany to bring his bride back to America with him.  While there the military tried to force him to join; he had papers to prove that he was an American, so they let him go.  He and my Grandmother were courageous, hard-working, brave and religious.

 

They went through all of the legal requirements to become citizens of this country.  From New York City to Cheney, Kansas, then to Alva was quite a journey in those days.  He and my Grandmother lived in Alva all their lives, farmed, and raised a family of two boys and two girls in freedom.  They went to church every Sunday and gave thanks for all the blessings of their lives.  They never forgot or stopped going to church until they were no longer physically able to attend.  Spirit guided them each step of the way to a life of freedom and gratitude.

 

During Hitler’s reign of terror, the family regularly sent boxes of necessities the relatives in Germany needed.  Letters received were read aloud to the family during Sunday gatherings recounting Hitler’s atrocities to our German relatives, their Jewish friends and neighbors, and spoke of the fear they lived with. The letters would ask for whatever was needed to be sent in the next box.  Gratitude for every little and big thing was imprinted on me at an early age, as was not taking anything, especially freedom, for granted.

 

My parents and grandparents spoke often of the value and great gift and cost of freedom.  My Father prayed that we never have to experience what our relatives in Germany did, that we have no war in our country or any country, and that we be vigilant about our freedom and the democracy we have in the United States.  This made a lasting impression on me of the importance of freedom.

 

It made me stay aware of what is going on in the world, of how our country is interacting with other countries and within itself, of what laws are being passed with or without the vote of the people, of the changes in the honesty and ethics of all levels of leaders, of the changes in the people’s conduct, the direction society is moving, and so forth.  It made me cherish the great privilege of voting and of the freedom to write letters, emails, sign petitions, or make calls when I want to request change.

 

It made me aware that it is my privilege to do my part to keep this freedom.

It made me aware that it is a spiritual privilege to pray and send pure Divine Light to those who are not free.

It made me aware that every breath I take is free and so precious to me.

 

So, I celebrate the 4th of July with a prayer of gratitude to Spirit that I live in a free country and have the freedom to choose my life.

 

Reggie is so grateful he is free to run around the house, out his Doggie Door, and around the bushes and trees in the yard.  He came from a cage in the Adoption Center with hundreds of other dogs crying, howling, and barking to be loved and free.  It is my sacred privilege to give him his gift of freedom as he is a beautiful gift to me.  Nancy and Reggie♥
