On my in to work this morning I was greeted right away with the angelic numbers 222. (222 meaning – Have faith. Everything’s going to be all right.)

 This made me smile as I felt blessed and comforted seeing the numbers there in front of me as I drove to work. I began to think about signs in general.. what they mean to people and their significance to others.

 I also thought for a moment about those who would like to tell us that we make things up to mean things and that none of it really means anything .. we just say that it does.

 Then I thought … well who cares if it is real or not. If I am able to find comfort in something as simple as a set of numbers, then whats the harm… what does it matter to anyone else but me. It means something to me and that is all that matters.

 The truth is that none of us can truly say what is at the end of our road until that end has come to be. Having faith and something to believe in doesn’t hurt anyone at all. If in times of stress, hardship, struggle, loneliness or whatever the case may be .. you are able to find comfort in whatever sign it is you have chosen to see then so be it. You are the only one effected by the sign.. so whats the big deal. Why is it some are so bent on arguing about what sign you chose to believe in and whether or not it is a real sign or not??? I think maybe the case is that they have their eyes closed so tightly to what cannot be explained that they don’t “SEE” .. and when others say that they have “SEEN” they feel.. .well they feel a bit left out and since they haven’t “SEEN” any signs then they must not be real.

 Finding comfort in finding a feather.. seeing sets of numbers.. hearing a birds call… feeling like someone of a higher power is watching over you harms no one. Go ahead and believe as you wish .. it is all our given right.

Signs are everywhere you just have to ask for them. When asking for a sign you are making yourself aware of your surroundings.. so what was there all the while is now visible to you.

Just as that line from one of my favorite songs goes… Only the ones who believe, ever see what they dream, ever dream what comes true. So says the raven today… DREAM.. BELIEVE.. HAVE FAITH.. LIVE.. LOVE… LAUGH and SEE!

From a Thought to a Dream

From a thought to a dream
From a dream to reality
We all have within us this ability

To make our wishes and dreams come true
The power is there, sitting deep inside you

Thoughts become words, words become action
The universe works in reaction

Speak out loud, what you wish to see
Answers will soon come to thee

With honor and love in your heart
For the dream to come true
You must play an active part

Walking in the direction of your dream
It’s not as easy as it may seem

Obstacles sometimes block the way
Never give up, no matter what anyone has to say

Positive thoughts and actions ease the trail
Don’t worry about “What if I fail”

Where there is a will, there is a way
That’s what I’ve always heard them say

So follow your heart and you shall soon see
What was once a dream, has now become reality!

Many Blessings,

Journey to the Summit

Today the Grandmothers came for a visit ...

Straight away one of them came over and grabbed me by the ear and said "come on, we must go"

"Go where, I asked" ... "nevermind that, just come on"

They said we had to get to the top of that mountain ... as she pointed to this remote, very steep mountain top that looked to be somewhere in Asia.

The mountain was a very tall, thin, pointy looking mountain .. I thought to myself ... OH DEAR! How on earth am I getting up there!!!

I started grabbing a few things as they pulled me to the base of the mountain ... things i thought I might need to help me along the way.

Off we went up the mountain .. the sun beating down on my back felt like a brick house pushing me down .. the grandmothers seems to climb with a whole lot more ease than me .... how could I be out-done by a couple of old ladies!!!

I kept climbing ...

As I climbed I began letting loose of some of those things I thought I needed.. I had to shed some weight to make it to the top.... lightened the load!

I'm not sure how long it took .. seemed like a long time ... but it was still daylight when we reached the top.

I reached the top and there was a bench sitting just overlooking the edge... I made my way over to the bench and sat down.

Exhausted ... I sat there for a while trying to catch my breath and gather my senses.

The grandmothers behind me say .. "What do you see? What do you feel? what do you hear? and what do you know?"

"I know I'm beat!", I thought to myself...

I sat there for a few moments looking out over the amazing view ... wondering to myself... "ok what is it they WANT me to see, hear, feel, and know?" hmmmmmmmmmm

"Forget about us for a moment and just speak your mind", they said.

I took in a deep breath and closed my eayes.. I could smell the flowers .. each scent individual and then a lingering of how they mingled together .. I felt the cool breeze as it washed over my face and brushed through my hair ... I felt the once hot sun ... now warming me as it dried my dripping wet clothes and it felt like a golden hug from heaven.... I could hear the wind as it blew through each blade of grass and how it seems to whisp around the whole mountain, encircling us all... I opened my eyes and I could see clear across the valley below without my glasses even on... the colors on the leaves as the sun played among the branches of every tree...

"Now, what do you know?" they asked

I know that somehow I feel lighter .. even though I am in body the same as when I started up the mountain .... and besides the fact of my material load being gone.. I feel lighter inside myself. I don't quite understand how, but I feel so light that it is as if I could glide down this mountain like a fall leaf in the wind.

I feel weightless... inside and out.

Think about this for a while, they said ... stay here and allow your mind to become crystal clear.

Suddenly I watched the memory of myself climbing this mountain and I watched as I started to lighten my load .. each time I let go of something .. it became something else... like thoughts or behaviors.. my concentration was solely on getting up this mountain and all those things I thought I needed weren't helping at all.. and without thinking about it I began to let these things go .. and suddenly I was at the top.

I smirked .. smart old women ....

We need nothing but what is inside us to make it to where we want to go.. a strong will and a bit of direction and we will get there as long as we don't give up and keep our eyes forward.

Thank you Grandmothers for this journey ... there are always lessons to be learned.

What's Holding You Back Today?

What's Holding You Back Today From Chasing Your Dreams?

Is it money?

Is it Know-how?

Is it time?

Is it opportunity?

What is it that holds you back today?

Take your dreams in your own hands today and do something .. even if it is only to sit down and draw/write out a plan of action.

Do something today that will help you step a little closer to your dreams.

To have a dream/goal and do nothing to bring it into reality is a sad loss.

Even if the dream is never fully brought into creation.. if you work toward that goal/dream.. you will have at least tried. But if you do nothing to bring that dream into reality .. it is lost forever.

Take a chance .. and do something today that will bring you one step closer to that dream.

You just never know.. with each step you become that much closer and before you know it ... that dream/goal might be staring you right in the face.

You'll never know until you try.


Go ahead .. step closer to your dreams today!!!

Which Way Are You Headed?

I started out with no clue what to post for today's wisdom ... and then a thought hit me... WHAM!


So here we go!


Which way are you headed?


Are you walking toward your dreams.. or are you just sitting on the side of the road waiting for your dreams to come hopping along?


I don't need to tell you that sitting on the side of the road waiting for things to happen isn't the way to get to your destination... because you already know this... but maybe what you didn't realize is that you were sitting on the side of the road.... maybe you thought you were moving toward your dreams...


Step back and take a good look at the path you are on and what you are doing as you walk forward ...


Do your actions show progress toward your dreams?

Are you moving too fast? too slow? jumping around? dodging the obvious? walking in fear?

Can you do more?

Can you step it up a notch?

Are you giving it your all?

Are you doing your best or could you really do a little bit more?


Life will never be our idea of "perfect" there will always be things missing or out of order from how we perceive that they "should" be ... but at the end of the day .. if you have given it your best ... and know that without doubt that you have done all that you can do ... YOU WILL FIND HAPPINESS. Having part of a dream is far better than having nothing at all.


Walk in the direction of your dreams ... Believe in yourself ... And be the best that YOU can be.. whatever that best is ..

The Tiger

In honor of the Tiger that came to me in a ceremonial vision last night:

Passion, Power, Devotion

The Tiger is the symbol of darkness
and the new Moon.

When a Tiger totem enters your life,
expect new adventures.
It will awaken new passion and power.

Tiger people do their best work at night.
They are very sensual and passion people and devoted parents.
Your best work will be done at night.
Tigers are associated with water and have all the properties of the element of Water –
healing, power through gentle flow, feminine energies.

In China, there are 5 mystic tigers:
The red tiger is south, summer and fire,
the black tiger is the symbol of north, winter and water,
the blue tiger is east, spring and vegetation,
the white tiger is west, autumn and all metals,
the yellow tiger is ruler of the Earth and its energies.

Many Blessings,
