Last night I dreamed I was on a long seesaw, riding up and down, climbing higher then falling lower. I awoke this morning with the realization that a seesaw is a perfect image of what our world is experiencing now, although not nearly as predictably as the regular up and down of a seesaw. The news is contradictory, both frightening and encouraging, dark and filled with light and hope. Controversy is rampant and the peace workers persist relentlessly...

I think back over the last many years, and the road we have travelled. We knew these years would be fraught but I am sure none of us knew exactly how fraught they would be, and how difficult the travel through them has become.

We are no longer the people we were and while there may be regrets that we carry, I find that I have become so much more than I ever imagined I might be. The dark ā€œout thereā€ compelled me to examine my own inner darkness, to dig deeply into it and heal what could be healed. Some of the darkness I simply had to own, as none of us are all dark or all light. We carry both within us, as a whole.

With time, I came to see that darkness was actually a source of great strength if I could approach it from my heart. There are many out there who desire from a place of greed, of always wanting ā€œmoreā€. I did not yearn for ā€œmoreā€; I yearned for alignment and peace. I yearned for balance. The dark scared me but I began to learn that even in the dark I was capable of feeling great joy and gratitude.

While the energy of 2024 is intensifying, I find myself learning to ride the abrupt changes of up and down, and eager for the balance that will come, as the seesaw slows once again - as it always does.

We humans have done this before and we can do it again, guided by our hearts and holding tightly to each other, standing in the middle of chaos, untouched, our hearts open widely.

And so I am told:

Life is very like a seesaw right now, is it not? Perhaps not a very pretty one but one can see the possibility beneath the grime, can one not? Speed up, slow down, an unpredictable ride for an undisclosed amount of time. Quite a picture that paints...

A reminder again that each of you chose to be here for this moment in time/space. That should comfort and support you, even in the darkest of days. You are ushering in a new world, a new age, each of you.

You are more prepared for this time that you can imagine. Much like a jigsaw puzzle, each step forward requires thought, examination, trust and insight. Now is the time to invite your soul to become an active part of your daily life, an active and communicative part of your heart. Your soul has much to teach you if you will allow it.

Despite the many challenges you have all had to face these last many years, your individual lights are brighter and stronger than you can imagine. Your efforts, your growth, your willingness to step up - all this and more have contributed to the beauty and strength with which you face the world each day.

Put aside all that divides, the petty and the small. Eyes and hearts must focus on all that unites and strengthens. We remind you to listen with your heart and learn to feel with your mind. When you are angry, stop. Breathe a moment and allow your heart to speak to you, offering perhaps a gentler way forward into action rather than reaction.

I have read much lately of ā€œglimmersā€, those inexplicable moments of joy or peace. They are something I have always experienced but I do find that they occur with much regularity these days, appearing out of nowhere and suffusing me with peace and joy. I treasure those moments as they act as a reset when I am out of sorts at times or they allow me to dive deeply into gratitude. I feel refreshed and renewed.
And so I am told:
What you call glimmers are actually your natural state of being. Humankind is evolving, beginning to release many of the characteristics that developed in response to trauma and the amnesia that comes with rebirth on earth. Humans are uniquely gifted in their ability to create coping mechanisms in the face of the uncomfortable, the frightening, and the dysfunctional. While they have their uses, these coping mechanisms also serve to armor the human spirit which then blocks it from its natural state of Light.
In 2023 and the years prior, much human growth was focused on healing and releasing the past, including trauma and generational wounds. In 2024, a year of much change, one of the focal points of human growth and experience will be in the realm of returning to who you truly are, a spiritual being having a physical experience. That spiritual part of you, your soul, will become more visible in the sense of making itself known both within you and to others. One might say that your light will be made more manifest. Glimmers are a hint, a indicator of what you might expect to feel and experience this year and in the coming years.
Because of the incarnational power of the individual identity in each life, humans cannot see much if anything beyond their own perceived physical borders. Each of you are much more than you can possibly imagine and you will begin to see this more and more in the coming years.
Allow yourself to embrace theses moments of joy and peace. They restore balance and open doors within you. And remember, the role you play in each incarnated lifetime was never intended to be a replacement for the glory that you truly are.

When I was a little girl, I knew, without question, that I was called to be here. I thought, in my innocence, it was to do or be something magnificent. I did not then realize, as I do in this very moment, that I was magnificently called to simply BE here.Ā 

I know the dark for I have spent much time there, passing my days in fear, judgment and anger.Ā  I waited to be acknowledged, to be known, to be seen, only to be denied. I reached for joy and peace, always believing in my heart that they were not mine to have.Ā  I did not then know that I am the peace and joy I reached for.Ā  I did not know then that the only acknowledgment necessary was my own.

Time has graced me with a freedom and understanding that allows me to embrace my Be-ing.Ā  Facing and coming to terms with past wounds and trauma have freed me to love and accept myself.Ā  It has been a hard won journey but I am forever grateful for the lessons I have learned and the flow I have come to embrace. I am so much more than I ever imagined I might be, even in my quiet little world. WhatĀ  blessing of a gift.

And so I am told:

Can there be any greater gift than to manifest a spark of light into life? Much is lost in this current time/space as human emphasis on acquiring and accumulating takes precedence over breathing and appreciating. The simple act of being still within yourself allows each of you an experience of being one with all, a sacred and profound act of surrender. Can you really believe that possessions and positions are more important than that?Ā 

You chose to be here now, to assist in the birth of the new world, the awakened world. Your simple presence, your breath, your Be-ing make that birth possible. The rest is simply the role you play in this life time - make believe, if you will.Ā  Your truth is far more profound.

Sink deeply within yourselves and listen to the song that spills forth from your heart.Ā  There are no words, simply truth and light, the most authentic parts of each of you.Ā  See how powerful you are and how much more powerful you all are together.Ā  You are a force of creation simply by existing.Ā  Imagine what you could do together and visualize yourselves connecting to one another. The combined Light is unstoppable.

The concept of Thanksgiving has become somewhat fraught in recent years, due to its association with Puritan hubris and white colonization practices, and I canā€™t help but agree that its tarnished reputation need to be cleaned up and revitalized.Ā 

Even so, it one of my favorite holidays. The kids come home, relatives and friends visit, and I am awash in personal thanksgiving. Even when I am crabby, which occasionally happens.Ā 

It is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate our many blessings, from the humble to the enormous.Ā 

This year, Thanksgiving arrived at a tumultuous time. I am not sure it was any more tumultuous than the last many years, but it felt that way to me somehow.Ā  Each day we keep moving forward in our usual way, but little in the way of heart expanded growth seems to happen. People seem more rude than usual and our rights seem to be disappearing bit by bit.

Thanksgiving was a perfect moment to stop and remember who we are and how we are connected to so many others. Being surrounded by people I love dearly was an opportunity to take a reset, to wallow in the love of others for us and to pour out our own love for them.Ā  When we allow love free reign in our heart, it thrives, and that love, touching the love of others, sets off a powerhouse of glorious light and possibility.

This is how we heal. This is how we change the world.

And so I am told:

True gratitude arises from the depth of the heart and becomes nearly inseparable from love. Indeed, they are fundamentally the same.Ā  While many are thankful for the new piece of jewelry or technology, the new toy or article of clothing, it is the grateful love for others that dissolves boundaries and barriers.Ā  It is the acknowledgment of oneness and remembrance of the eternal connection between souls. Ā 

Spend time regularly in gratitude, opening your heart to connection and the return to oneness that binds all together.Ā 

Breathe it all in, love it all out.
