~Creativity~ Grandmother says that you are in the perfect position to help others recognize their worth and find a more positive way to live on this Earth. Your example is helpful.. most of all to yourself. Nothing is more satisfying than to draw from eth well of your own inner fullness and to let the energy of your heart with all it's nurturing qualities stream into the world. Once you start to recognize your own SELF in all those around you .. you have no choice but to reveal your full potential. When your heart has been awakened in such a way .. you have finally come home and realized your true being. NOW LIVE IT! ~Manifestation~ The ability to give form to your most cherished dreams and visions already exists within you. NOW is the time to get it done! ~Integration~ Just when it seems that everything has come to a standstill, the forces of transformation are most active. Refrain from criticizing the process that is taking place within. Give yourself the freedom of not having to justify the delicate processes of your spiritual development. Simply relax and most of all be kind to yourself. At the right time the fruits of your internal labor will become clearly visible in your behavior and especially in your work. ~Courage~ This is a time when dreams come true! Your outer circumstances are changing for eth better. One of your deepest desires fulfills itself almost on its own. Know you can manifest what you want ?. The power is within you … if you have the courage to see it through. Letter to my past... Dear Pain from my Past, I just wanted to let you know that you are no longer needed in my life! I'm not sorry to say that this is the end of our relationship and NO I DO NOT WANT TO BE FRIENDS! You are not welcome here and I want nothing more to do with you. You can take all the hurt and pain with you and take all your negative energy and emotions, take the countless guilt trips, take the long nights crying myself to sleep, take all that you have done to me and shove it where the sun don't shine! No longer will I cry myself to sleep over you.. No longer will I question who I am because of you.. No longer will I allow your negative thoughts and words cause me pain.. No longer will you have control over me in any way.. No longer will I fear to love and be loved.. No longer will I question my worth… The damage you have caused is now erased from my life!!!! There is no need for you to hang around and cause doubt in my life anymore! I have had enough of you and everything you are!!! Be gone from my life .. I bid you goodbye! Sincerely, Me! Raventalker Daily Wisdom by Raventalker 6-7-2007 ~Mystical Forces~ You already are what you seek. As son as you turn your attention away from “wanting to become” to the awareness of “what is” you will understand more of what I speak. Renounce the mind’s addiction to complicate everything by thinking about it and focus on simply being. If you allow your mental doors to open and step into the unknown with your whole heart and determination, your outer life will flourish. Once you go beyond self-imposed limits you will find inner as well as outer healing. ~Sensuality~ The force of erotic attraction is one of the most mysterious and creative. You must learn to handle its irresistible but unpredictable power as consciously as possible. Become aware of your impact on others and what you do with it. Respect people’s vulnerability and stay within the boundaries dictated by loving consideration. ~Vision Quest~ You must let go of the past in order to move forward. Our past is what is already known , it’s familiar.. it gives the illusion of safety. Going into the unknown is a scary thing .. we feel as though we loose a sense of control.. holding on to the past .. that which is already known to use gives us a false sense of control.. so letting go of the past and moving forward can be a very scary thing to us all.. but it must be done if we truly want to move forward and create a new beginning or change a part of ourselves that needs to be changed and also for us to grow and learn. Sunny Days :) These days I find myself smiling a whole lot more and crying a whole lot less ... the days seem sunny even on the cloudy ones... life is getting less and less complicated and slowly getting easier .. and definately lots happier. I do not miss the days and nights that I spent worried over whatever ... and the days and nights crying over this and that ... So much time wasted for the wrong reasons and so little time spent being happy .. enjoying life and what it brings I pray as I sleep this night and every night that the Creator continue to bless us with happy days filled with love and light .... I pray the bad days stay behind us and that life continues to flow through us and not past us. Many blessings to all .. Raventalker Daily Wisdom by Raventalker 6-19-2007 ~Loss~ If you don't want to .. you don't have to suffer. Now is the time for the veils of ignorance to be lifted. Illusions have created and may have clung to will now slowly dissolve. This is nothing more than a helpful wake-up call. Welcome it! Let go of what does not want to stay with you. Whatever you lose now has never truly belonged to you anyhow. This profound and at first very painful insight gives you a new kind of stability and much greater clarity about your true feelings. ~Completion~ Accept that everything in life has a beginning a middle and an end. Welcome the fact that every process, every situation, contains it's own dissolution. ~Depletion~ Fear of loss… we all have it to some extent at some point on our lives. We must let go of the fear .. it only holds us back from meeting our goals in the end. ~Fear~ The fear we carry around with us in one form or another can only be discharged by seeing through it completely. If we direct our attention at fear WITHOUT identifying with it, fear dissolves on its own. Become aware that you ARE NOT your fear. Take a deep look within and realize that blindly rushing along will only lead to further conflicts and entanglements. ~Chaos~ Whether you want to or not, chaos will liberate you from the narrow confines that kept you safe but bound. Revolting against these forces will only intensify your pain. Go with the flow instead of resisting it. The less you struggle, the easier these necessary changes will become. Trust the internal chaos that shakes up your life. Once the storm has passed, you will feel more free, awake and open. Remember, stars are born out of chaos. We only fear this power because we cannot control it. In reality chaos is the raw material of transformation. TIRED....... Sometimes life just moves soooooooo fast .. seems like there are so many days that just speed right on by and before you've had a chance to catch your breath the day is over and a new one begins.. So much to do and so little time it seems.. but really I wouldn't have it any other way .. I'm glad there is much to do and be done.. I'm certainly not bored...lol.. always on the go and always doing something .. it's good .. my life is on a path of doing at the moment and I'm sure the days will come that I'll get to just sit down .. have a seat and relax the days away ... for now tho I must be like the bee and get everything sorted and in place for those relaxing days ahead ... We must learn to appreciate what our life gives us.. no matter what it is... I'm sure lessons can be learned.. it may not always be pleasant ... it may not always be fun but it means you are living .. you are learning and hopefully you are growing .. so enjoy every moment you can .. Live your life .. don't let it pass you by.. Raventalker Savoring Every Moment Life can be so busy and hectic and with the everyday responsibilities we each have we often miss out on wonderful moments that come along. By that I mean ... those little moments where you find yourself content, happy... maybe it was a little moment where one of your children said something really clever... or did something so funny it made you laugh out loud.. or maybe it was a moment where you found yourself wrapped in your significant others arms and realized for just that moment how wonderful life can be.. maybe it was simply a moment at the dinner table with the whole family for a change ... Because of life being so busy busy all the time .. many of these moments get over looked because most often they pass by us so quickly .. Take the time to slow down your pass ... so that less of these moments pass you by.. It's a wonderful feeling to laugh and be happy .. take the time to recognize and apprectiate as much of life as you can. Don't be afraid of happiness... I promise it doesn't hurt one little bit :-) Those Magick Moments Life is amazing .. sure it has it's tough times and it's obstacles.. life is full of so many different things .. joy, sorrow, pleasure, pain, laughter, tears .. but without all these many different emotions what would life be? Someone once said to experience great joy you must first know great sorrow.. and that is true. Our experiences teach us how to appreciate the many facets of life. As my children grow and are now teenagers and as I go through all of what my own mother must have gone through with me … I look back and am now able to appreciate how she coped… I see their point of view as well as my own and also the point of view my mother must have had when I was at that age.. so I have been given a great gift with the insight life has given me. It is up to me on how I use that gift and how I pass that wisdom on. I have been with a relative as they found out they had cancer and then with the family as they coped and progressed together through the treatments and then with the death of that family member… So I can understand how others may feel when going through such tough times… times of great sorrow … I carry that experience with me as I walk through this lifetime and my heart goes out to all those needing a shoulder, a helping hand or a listening ear .. I pass on my experiences to my children so that they may also know what it is to go through a life storm and so that they may have compassion for those who are having difficult times.. I tell them you never know what kind of day someone is having .. so always greet them with a smile and with love in your heart.. for you may have just given someone going through a storm some shelter from the rain .. if only for a brief moment. Relationships… oh I have been through all sorts …. And in each one there have been good times and bad .. there have been many beginnings as well as endings .. I have learned so much from each relationship.. I have learned patience, I have learned about differences in the way men and women work and think, I have learned how to handle conflict and much much more .. but most of all I have learned about myself and who I am and what I want in life. I have learned my strengths as well as my weaknesses. I have learned to appreciate what I have. I have learned to live in the moment and not worry about the past for it is over and done and the future is what I make of it … As I grow and age I have come to learn more and more how to appreciate all life gives us.. More often I see those magickal moments as they come into my life and I actually enjoy them instead of letting them drift on by without notice. I appreciate more the little things .. like leaving notes for my sweetheart on the bathroom mirror so he sees them in the morning when he showers and steams up the bathroom .. and then I can't wait to see his reply the next morning in the steamy mirror … those moments together as a family .. everyone getting along .. spending an evening watching a movie or playing board games.. (we prefer UNO Attack!) lol I have learned how to let others help.. that's been a hard one for me .. being the one so use to doing it all… taking on the burdens myself, alone .. allowing someone else to help has been a huge step for me and it feels so good to have grown in that way as well as the knowing of not having to do it alone anymore. And as for magickal moments .. my favorite is "the kiss" .... I have come to notice how no matter what kind of day I've had .. no matter the stress .. no matter what is going on around me .. "the kiss" is all it takes to soothe all my worries and calm all my fears.. Don't get me wrong .. it's far more than just "the kiss" it's the giving of the kiss and the intention behind it and the love it is given with .. it's a combination of caring, compassion, love, devotion and everything in between that makes up "True Love's Kiss" It's a kiss from heaven .. a true gift from above .. and I am oh so very grateful with each and every kiss from my true love that I receive. Take time and enjoy life.. love, laugh and smile .. it sure beats the alternative! Many blessings, Raventalker What life makes us …. Life can certainly have something to do with who we each are.. how we interact with others, how we handle situations, how we treat others, how we view ourselves as well as the rest of the world.. but in the end we all have the choice to be what we make of ourselves. It is always our choice at the beginning and end of each day how we choose to be. We can treat ourselves and others with bitterness, hate, anger and dislike because of somewhere in your life you have been mistreated, abused or angered.. or we can treat ourselves and others with love and compassion. Think about it.. from my point of view it seems pretty simple.. Acting in a negative way only creates more negativity … for instance: There has been a mistake on a bill you owe and you call up customer service to work it out.. if you are angered from the beginning and allow that anger to come across to the person trying to help you on the other end.. what good will that do? Does it make that person want to help you any more just because you are angry? Will you get the issue resolved any faster? And how far will that person on the other end of the line go to help correct the issue.. since you have been nothing but bitter and nasty towards them? And the same goes in the other direction.. you are the customer service rep and you've had a bad day or life for that matter and so you greet each customer with anger and nastiness … does it make you feel better? Does it help in any way to be that way or treat others in that way? Being kind to others really isn't that hard … and being kind to yourself may be what is needed to start you on that road. We can live our lives using excuses of why and how we are who we have become ………. or we can choose to take responsibility for our own actions and be what we made of ourselves instead of what "life" may have made us. Many blessings, Raventalker Growing Together …. I almost labeled this blog "Growing Old Together" but it's not about age at all.. it's about two people who come together for a lifetime commitment and as the years go by they grow … both as individuals maintaining their own identities and then also as a couple … strengthening their bond, their commitment. This week I have been given a very wonderful gift .. I have had the privilege to meet Richard's Mum & Dad … watching them interact with each other teaches me so much. They have been married more than 30 years and still they like each other! … they love each other!!... and they still have fun together. Oh I won't pretend to think that they don't have problems from time to time or that they never argue or fight.. I won't pretend to think that they have always got along or that things have always been perfect and peachy.. The truth is I have no idea the bumps in the road they may have had in the past but what I do know is what I see now. If ever they have had problems or issues… you sure can't tell it! You can tell the two of them are very different in the way they think and believe on many issues.. but still they get along so well and the love they share is genuine. Their playful bickering at dinner always amuses me.. how they communicate is far more than just words alone.. and I am amazed and in awe .. Just yesterday we all ended up at one of our local parks that has a huge fountain in the center … children and adults alike spend the hot summer days playing in the water. Richard's Mum took Elliot (her 2 year old grandson) right into the water … not worried one bit about getting wet along with him.. she laughed and played in the water while the rest of us just watched.. looking back now we all wanted to stay dry because we were going to dinner afterwards.. but so was she and yet she got wet anyway J just for the sake of a bit of fun with her grandson … next time, I choose to go into the fountain as well! Anyway, back to my story … As Richard's Mum was holding Elliot up to one of the fountains so that he could play in the water, Richard's Dad creeped right up behind her and splashed her real good .. hee hee .. and ran away quickly .. she had no doubt who the prankster was, even with her back turned.. she came right over to him.. all soaking wet and WHAP! He smacked her right on the butt! LoL I think he might like staying in trouble.. she gave him a look and told him he would get it later and that she wouldn't forget what he had done.. for some reason I don't feel like he'll mind much the trouble he'll get later.. giggles.. laughing and playing all the while.. you could tell these two get on as well as anyone ever could. You can tell by simply watching the way they are with each other.. the looks they exchange and their body language.. these two have it.. they have what so many seek. It feels like they don't even have to exchange words .. they always know what the other is thinking and feeling .. how wonderful to have such a love and commitment to another. My wish is that they remain just how they are .. and that Richard and I are able to grow together through the years just as wonderfully as they have! Many Blessings, Raventalker |
