reunion update

Some updated thoughts on my 20 year reunion ...

It was challenging years there (I was painfully shy, dealing with undiagnosed depression, was the "new" girl as well as a Lutheran pastor's kid at a Catholic school) and yet I do have good memories of a few things, think of certain people and wonder how their life is now, and hold the school in high regards.

Would my life have been different if I hadn't taken a weekend trip in the back of a tiny truck to South Dakota with my English/photography teacher and 4 classmates? Yes, because I wouldn't have been baptized to Van Morrison or appreciated large tacky animal statues. Would I be different if I hadn't spent hours and hours in the photography lab with Mary and Lori and a guy I had a crush on but couldn't talk to? Absolutely. What if I hadn't learned the art of journalling or writing from Mr Theim? Would my life be different if we hadn't lost a classmate and dear friend to suicide 2 years after graduating? Without a doubt. And really, would I be sane now without my bestest friends Michelle's constant support and encouragement? NOPE! :)

Obviously all this stuff around the reunion is bringing up memories and thoughts. There is a website that someone set up where people can post their information and photo's, which is interesting to see. It's funny to realize that if I ran into any male classmates I would not even recognize them, and yet all the women look pretty much the same, just older. I am open to connecting with anyone anytime, and may even contact them on facebook (my brother's baseball coach who happens to have a tarot thing!?). Anyhow, I am headed to Mankato tomorrow to catch up with Michelle, so more thoughts may be coming soon!

Well, I finally gave in and joined Facebook. Come be my friend.

20 year reunion

So, just got notice about my 20 year high school reunion. Oy. It was not good years there and was fairly cliquey and wierd. I probably am not going (am supposed to be getting back from vacation that day), but we'll see ... would be interesting to see how people have changed though.

Thoughts?

Horseback riding!

I had the JOY of going horseback riding with my friend Pam last night! Despite my leg's hurting the entire time, it was relaxing, fun, and so grounding! (Hello, sit bone is newly felt!) The trail was just beautiful, quiet, through fields, hills, trees, even a wooded area. Not sure how quick I'll be going back, but it was delightfully fun! Thanks Pam!

Twintreess

My friends Marilyn & Tohmas Twintreess are coming to the Twin Cities in August 19 - 23!

They are the owners of www.AhhhMuse.com and the authors of the Stones Alive book series that I offer (and Stones Alive 3: Translating the Crystalline Grid will be available by the end of July), as well as amazing crystals and stones, jewelry, essences, and services. They'll be in town to do workshops, individual readings, and stone purchasing. If you have never experienced them in person (that alone is a trip), have read their books, or are interested in crystals and stones even in the slightest, this is a rare opportunity!

Types of readings and prices are at www.crystallinelight.com/twintreess.html, and I am taking appointments now for them. Readings will be at my office in Burnsville (and maybe in St Paul).

Workshop info is still in the works, but there will be something Friday night, August 22 and Saturday morning, August 23, at Lightsmith in St Paul.

Plus we're planning a Festival of the Little People reunion picnic at the original site on August 24 (if you attended this event years ago you are welcomed to join us!).

They're also creating connections to plant large 9 foot black Shiva Lingam's as connecting to the crystalline grid. Everyone is welcome to an event in Two Harbors, happening sometime after August 24.

If any of this resonates with you check www.crystallinelight.com/twintreess.html, which also has articles with more information about them.

Soul Vibe report

I know it's been a quiet blog lately, so here's something to relate what's happening .... Go read the latest WUOPE too www.whatsuponplanetearth.com/latest.htm I'll be back soon.



Soul Transitions for July 2008
Nancy Leilah Ward http://soultransitions.com/

Greetings!

It is with joy that we connect with you - all who are reading these words at this very moment. We touch into your hearts and plant a seed of light, love and truth that it may grow within you as you expand in these times of change.

Many people’s soul vibrations are rising, which makes it more difficult to deal with living in the third dimension. The feeling of being “over it” or “enough already” as we shared in a previous vibe report is very strong. As the vibration rises, the outer, 3D world changes, people’s lives change and you will find you can no longer tolerate living the way you used to live – certain situations or behaviors no longer fit with who you are and you will feel it – you will feel the discord within when you continue to engage with the behaviors that are no longer resonant with your higher vibration.

We see a swirling of energy, like a tornado pulling people into the higher vibration. This will create freedom for many and a feeling of disruption and confusion for others – some people’s lives have turned inside out and there are those who are refusing to release the past and allow the new energies to rise within them. For those who have people in their lives who are going through this, know that you cannot help them, you cannot make them change, you can only continue with your own growth and acceleration. You will not be able to stay with those who are refusing the energy – they may try to hold you back but it will be as if you are being sucked away into a higher vibration and indeed, you are rising into a higher dimension.

You are rising into a fifth dimensional vibration and yet still living in the third dimension. This brings on physical side effects such as difficulty sleeping - or needing a lot of sleep, but not feeling well rested upon awakening. Sometimes the mind goes into overdrive with thinking about all the things that have to be done. Is there something that you have wanted to do and yet have not acted upon? Have you been procrastinating on some project that you are being nudged to do? It is time to begin listening to the inner prompting and to act upon it. The mind is not the enemy – the restless waters are from inspirations long ignored. The mind may focus on some minutia of 3D life that needs to be done, but there is a deeper core to the restlessness. It comes from an inner motivation – an appeal from your very soul – which you are not acting upon. The clearing that has been happening for the last few years is to get all the sluggish muckiness out of the way so you can hear your soul’s call.

Another side effect is that of the expansion and contraction of energy. The body experiences a deep cold within and then extreme heat, fluctuating between the two. The contractions feel like pressure and too much to do with not enough time. The expansion carries the feeling of disorientation and it is a time when new information, inspiration and new feelings about life, existence and multidimensionality come into your awareness. It is all part of the same process. It helps to allow the discomfort of the pressure to be there – not to fight or resist what is – and to know that this is helping you to expand towards your ascension.

With the expansion and contraction comes a feeling of nervousness as if something is about to happen. Also there is a feeling of being pulled out of your body – you’re still in your body but there is a “far away” feeling as if you are looking through the wrong end of a pair of binoculars. Along with this comes a strange feeling of unfamiliarity with your surroundings – even if you have lived there for years.

There are times that feel like a lull, like nothing is happening - this is a time of absorption and integration of the energies you have been downloading.

New connections are being made between people - new people coming into your lives and you may have a sense of your guides and their guides rejoicing at your meeting. There will also be old friends returning to your life.

This is a good time to experience body work and energy healing, such as reiki, cranio-sacral or polarity treatments.
You may also experience changes in your dietary needs. Perhaps you are wanting to eat more crunchy, watery foods such as raw fruits and vegetables, then having a sudden need for protein. Listen to what your body is telling you.

Things are changing from the inside out. If you are experiencing a falling apart of what you have long known, look for the shining doorway of new energy. There is always another choice. The old is falling away, look elsewhere for something new and shining – something that gives you energy and makes you feel alive. Many are being called to find new pathways yet they feel tied to monetary chains – feeling they cannot make any change because they need the money. You have heard the expression “all structures are unstable?” This especially applies to the economic structures at this time.

You are experiencing an inner calling. Listen, listen - what magic adventure is calling to you? Listen to what your mind says and begin to tell a new story. So many feel unfulfilled in work they have been doing for years – feeling it is meaningless. Look in a new direction. List all the things you love to do – focus on what gives you energy. If nothing comes to you, find the stillness within and ask your higher self or your soul and your guides to show you a new way of living. Be patient in receiving the answer. Remember, it is not what you do, but how you do it. Where are you “coming from” deep within? The changes that are happening are deep, indeed.

We have said before that collaboration and community are becoming more and more important and necessary for humans to continue living on earth. This is the shining new energy that is beckoning to you. The human family is coming together to find a new, holistic way of living with each other. Love is the feeling that is growing from within. A sense of well-being, a childlike feeling of freedom. Embrace these inner feelings as the outer structures fall away.

Within the spiraling energy is a new vibration. The pain body is losing its hold as more and more of you release it through acceptance… you feel it fading away. It will lash out through those who are actively holding on to the past, to the pain, to the stories of pain that are told over and over again. As part of this shift, many can no longer tolerate images of violence in the entertainment world — stories of war, destruction and hatred.

Much of what we say here, you have heard before. This is a time to go within and really look at yourself and what you want your life to feel like. This is a time of letting go, the final days of letting go and preparing to create a new life, a new story. What is your deepest desire for your life? What is it? You can make it real. You can be ecstatically happy within your own being – it is your heritage, it is your birthright.

Remember, too, that you have support from the invisibles. The helpers in the non physical realm are with you always.

Join those who are holding a vibration of love for the earth and all her peoples. Surrounding the earth are people holding hands in the etheric energies – they circle the earth – they send love through the circle and into the Earth’s aura, and down into Earth, sending love to the people of earth. Join them when you can – know that you are never alone, these are your brothers and sisters in spirit. You are part of the family of One.

With love, in joy…
