Transformations in 2012

Well we are in to the year of 2012.  There is an energy in the air of shifts and changes.  It is the buzz and it is everywhere, around every corner, and within most people you meet, whether they realize it or not.  They may seem tired, or more energized, thought processes changing, letting go of the past, releasing limiting beliefs…yes there is a shift among us. 

I must say that in my last several years, I have had many such changes or shifts…looking at my old thought patterns and how I believe life is to be lived. I am living life at a slower pace, most days, learning to love and respect myself and see the amazing person that I have become, that I AM!!!  It has only taken almost 51 years, but hey better now that not ever.  I have gone so far as to go back to school and study Energy Medicine.  I spend time outdoors appreciating nature, and working magick on those that come into my booth.  I now wear bows and hats  in my very red hair, and laugh more than I have in a long time.  I also realize that not everyone will be in our lives forever and always, but we should be grateful for them while they are with us.   That everyone we meet brings us a gift, no matter how challenging that person can be.  I have also learned that I don’t have to please everyone, and if it continues to be difficult with relationships, sometimes you just have to walk away.  I have learned that we have to take care of ourselves, so that our cup is full enough to help others.  I have learned that I would rather live in the moment that is with me, than be in fear and not do what feels right to me.  I now know that regrets can’t be fixed, so don’t have any.  I know that we are either going to grow or get really stale…I am opting for continual growth, even if sometimes it brings tears or unhappiness…because once we get through those tears and that discomfort, guess what it is much happier and brighter on the other side.  BTW for those of you that don’t know…I will be 51 this month…so I am celebrating my new life with color, joy, bliss, happiness, laughter and love!!

I choose this tiger iron and garnet bracelet for this article…because this is about as grounding as a piece of jewelry can be.  If you are experiencing these shifts and changes, you just might want to be grounded.  Many hugs with much love to all…Randi

The Holidays…

Well the holidays are here…and there are so many things that I could be writing about.  I could write about people shopping and trying to put the perfect presents under the tree…btw if you are out there shopping please go to the small business owners and local artists in your area.   If you do, this will keep help to keep your community growing and thriving!!  I could write about the rushing round to get to holiday parties and attending them,  preparing the food, cooking in the kitchen, and shopping for just the right outfit.  I could write about the fact that this time of year either brings out the best in people or the worst in people.  I am not really going to write about any of those. 

I am going to write about taking care of yourself.  All year long we take care of other people, and we neglect ourselves.  I am not talking about becoming selfish, but making sure that you have enough of you so that you can be there for others.  We are always there for our friends, family, our bosses and our jobs.  When are we there for ourselves??   This is the most stressful time of year, this is when we need to make sure that we have balance.  I laugh sometimes when I discuss balance with people.  They look at me like I have lost my mind.  Balance, where do I make the time to have/find balance??  If there is ever a time of year…this is the time of year to find our balance.  If we don’t take care of ourselves then who will??  We can’t be there for our friends and family when we are empty.   If you find yourself in a conversation where you can feel it will go wrong, them honor your feelings and get out of the conversation.  If you are tired excuse yourslf and go get some rest.  Try to eat right and yes, the old drink plenty of water comment is next on the list.  These are things that will help your body to try and stay in balance during this stressful time of year.  Find something to read or do that is just for you, to remind you that you are special and important.  Honor that inner royal person that you so often forget!!  With all of these words, no matter what…be kind to your self and remember to love yourself!! 

One final note…I will not be at Holiday Hoopla in Gulfport this Saturday or at Horan Park on Sunday, due to a special event over in Orlando.  I will however be back next weekend Pass-a-Grille market on Saturday the 17th and Horan Park on Sunday the 18th.  Hope to see you all soon, somewhere…wishing you a wonderful season with many hugs an much love to all…

  I was having trouble writing this blog last night, so I let it go knowing that the topic would come to me today.  The summer has been one of amazing experiences, and as I had been gone for the last three weeks I was sure that I was supposed to write about the journey, NOT!!  All I will say is that  letting go of limiting beliefs, recognizing fear, walking through it,   and feeling, seeing and experiencing all the universe has to give to you is amazing.  I am learning this on so many levels!!  Maybe I have chatted on this topic before, but today is a new day.  The past is the past, and we must plant our feet firmly in the present…because it is our gift.  Sooo…I will share the gift/signs of the day. 

I decided to walk this morning along the stretch of beach that I had not seen for awhile, but have been enjoying since my short return.  Many of us know that the sea water is healing, the sound of the waves, the taste of the salt and the feeling of the sun.  Well today as I entered the water…I was gifted with dolphins, ( Lynn I had you with me when they arrived…thank you for your part).  Now many of you know that when I am on the beach they always make an appearance if any where near in the area.  Today they swam with in 25 yards to 75 yards…near me.  The feeling was amazing, peaceful, gentle, beautiful.  There was a lovely lady by the name of Jan from Tennessee and we got to share them together…feeling their playfulness, their grace, their joy and their bliss.  They are here to show us flow, creativity and healing.  To teach us that we are one and that it is ok to laugh, cry and to feel.  They are here to watch over us, much like angels and guide us to our destination filled with love and support.  As Jan and I watched these magnificent creatures there was a sense of being right there, in the now.  If we had one dolphin to watch we must have had 10 plus to just make our hearts open and feel love.    I realized while walking later that they play a huge part in teaching us about living in two worlds.  I know that they are here to help me to know it is safe for me to be true to me.  I also know they are here to guide me  into my path and help me do all that I am supposed to do.  So I thank them for their marvelous gift/present of the day. 

I have chosen a watch made with Amazonite and turquoise…to show with this article.  Calmness and clarity from the amazonite as well as strength.  Turquoise to protect and hear all that we are supposed to hear and be connected to the bigger picture.  many hugs with much love to all…Randi

Life is a Carnival

The Band sang a song once talking about Life being a Carnival…Take your best shot was one of the lines in the song if memory serves me correctly.  Well life is a carnival, and sometimes at the carnival we have a blast and sometimes we eat too much cotton candy and get sick as a dog!!  I have been there on both sides of the fence.  I have also been on both sides of the life fence…and can imagine that I still will be.  How we look at our life is what is important!!! 

As I write this right now there is a young woman who is on her way for chemo treatment…she is a bright star…and today while she is sitting there with a machine hooked up to her arm….I can imagine that she will make everyone smile.  Tomorrow or the next day she will not feel so well as this chemical goes into her body to do what it will do to help the battle this disease.  She will most likely go into her self and deal with the after effects of the “treatment” or the day at the carnival where we ate too much candy.  I know that during this down time, this young woman will take to the time to realease  some old stuff and continue to do what is best for her…because this dis-ease has taught he to do just that.  She will take these moments of being low and let herself be surrounded by love. 

 We plan these great lives for ourselves, and I am not saying that we shouldn’t, while we thought we were writing our own play, and in complete total control and balance something comes along and knocks us on our feet…well folks it is called life.  How we handle that is part of our learning.   At 50 did I write the story of being divorced twice and no longer owning a home…maybe I did and maybe I didn’t, but the one thing I can tell you is that we move on.  it is our life and we can see it as a great day at the carnival or a day where the fried Twinkies and cotton candy got to us.  Live you life with grace and ease,  look at your down days with a smile as much as your up days…because those down days as a friend of mine has told me…give us time to come back to who we really are…many hug with much love to all… Randi
