As I get ready for the final trimming of the holiday, I realize It is What it is! Getting texts from family wishing we could commune, friends all finding different ways to celebrate and live, new ideas on gathering across the board from none to many, it is a moment to moment experience. As I accept what is right now, it actually becomes a beautiful world! For when I can accept, I can see beauty.

Acceptance the first step to any movement forward with clarity. You realize and accept what is. After you get out of the anger, grief, frustration of it not being the way  you  want it, you can then see clearly to find ways to cooperate with what is happening. All things change when we get through that piece of acceptance. Often this is very hard to do as we have many expectations, emotional ties to outcomes and all want the things we want. To me this is where you can shorten any loop your in.  ACCEPT. It doesn't mean no action or agreement. It just means this is what is really happening, not your desired or pretend version that is going on. Discernment key as well as realizing, as many people on the planet is as many perspectives or point of views their are and they are all happening at once. 

As you accept you can then consider, "ok how do I cooperate with this situation to bring in my desires?" So adaptability, adjustment, flexibility can come in.  When cooperation comes in, as it sounds, it is a moving and collaborative energy, many potentials and possibilities open up. You can search through all the potentials, "lean in" seems the buzz word and you can find one that enthuses you. So you catch energy to move in a direction with perhaps not the whole picture but the feeling toward something with positive excitement,  This is our creative process we do in all things. 

Embracing what is can seem burdensome in many situations. Especially now, with illness and death around, real life issues of value and what matters most is glaring. We get to reset our road rage and small annoyance to realize what really matter at this time. Not yesterday, not what you thought but right now after all the life you have been through.. We are all doing this together. No one is unaffected. All are riding in some sort of a weird reality that they are not so happy about.  We all are swishing around, adapting, innovating and transforming. We are in serious creation mode, so the cards are not certain where they will land.

As we accept this and know others are accepting what is occurring, we can find ways to cooperate. Again, to accept doesn't mean to be in agreement or like, you just understand it is what is. As the emotions fall out, you then go for cooperation. The world becomes different not clouded by your romancing or full perspective, you let it go a bit. Here is where creativity, innovation and possibility are. How can I work with what is going on so I can participate and maybe even enjoy it? 

Enthusiasm, which also has movement, is from an inner place and well of energy that moves itself almost. You are tied to a current rather than just you and your efforts. There is a collective energy bubbling in you. You get to choose from all the ways you thought of to cooperate, one that has this enthusiastic energy that you determine.  What can you get excited about so you begin to move in a direction that delights.?

This creative process we are in has everything in it.  That is the creative process. There is a reflective non moving when the outside is moving so fast and in unpredictable ways. There can be sadness, depression, fear, anxiety. all which come from uncertainty. These are emotions that coordinate with finding acceptance, really detangling what you think.... to what is...... "What" is in the form you need it. That is why I find these three steps are the way, when you are ready, to move onward despite the conditions. 

I am embracing my holiday, the world, my finances, my direction, being in the West, all of it. As I do this each day and in general, I have some good bright energy towards the future. I have also had to go through what isn't, my dissatisfaction with it and let that all go so I could get to acceptance. I don't know whether it will come or how it will play out but I at least have an energy that is moving forward and can feel it. That makes me feel really good to have grand ideas to be part of. Maybe they will never happen or maybe they will happen quickly. Doesn't matter as much as that I have an idea to move to that cooperates with conditions and I find my enthusiasm. I get to chose what brings that in and then the magic begins.

Have a fabulous, loving filled holiday. May you get hugs and blessings, good food and laughter and whatever you may be needing and desiring as we shift into a whole new season undefined. We get to choose our role, our participation. Maybe no participation is a good answer too for some of us. Either way, we all can have a blessed end of the year embracing and  knowing beauty and love are here! Just redirect your eyes!

Remember, ACCEPT, COOPERATE AND FIND ENTHUSIASM!

A simple way to shift health and well being!
I want a free Flowing In Grace Session!

Somewhere along the way we have separated ourselves from nature! Even our dictionary defines it as separate from us. However, it is our very home, our world, where we live and have our being. We are made of it as all the animal kingdom. The rules and harmony apply to us. As we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves. It is that simple as it is our home. The beautiful thing about nature is that it is always cooperating, changing, rebalancing and rejuvenating. A good place to live.

As a flower farmer, it was very clear to me that I was just a blip in the matrix of nature. I did so well for I understood she was growing things already so I just had to jump in and give minimal support. The horticultural industry has this ideas to control, push, manipulate, etc toward growing. I didn't even try that as it was clear, the easiest way to a great flower harvest was to plant, sometimes water and let things grow. I followed the cycle of weeds and pulled them but never had a "control" attitude. I didn't need too. Other growers were amazed at how well I grew with no overbearing interjection!

As I learned then, farming was a mess. The GMOs were horrific, the growing of monocrops which occurs nowhere in nature was out right stupid, the spraying and treatments all where about death not growth. At that time, I didn't  have the inspiration to try to do anything other than grow in a graceful, organic way and consider that was my small way to support the world.

As I get older, I see the insane amount of chemicals on our food gets worse. It gets in our water and the non diversity in planting makes no sense! It  inspires me to support regenerative farming in a big way. I get my food as close to home as I can.  I support developing local food distribution. 

If we transform our farming, we could erase our carbon footprint. All plants bring carbon into the ground so the more we get that carbon back into the soil, the healthier we are. In fact, we too, are carbon based creatures!! This could solve our carbon issues!! Imagine all the toxic farm  land in the country being planted with diversity for harvest and for life saving measures. Many are converting and others will if we encourage them. They need no government support for farm land growing regeneratively  makes sustainable money! It has been proven and it is a growing  movement. 

Being in the water business, a rabbit hole I never imagined I would be in, I have learned far too much how all the chemicals we use on land, all the antibiotics we give our animals, all that goes into the water table and thus us. Then we add even more chemicals to "make it safe to consume". It became so clear that we are drinking toxic water and it effects us negatively!! Again beauty and health, my favorite things are deeply effected by our water and our food far more than much else. 70% water we are! It all seems so clear and I wonder, am I crazy to see that drinking the best water and getting the best grown food are great supports to health over all else? It is pretty basic logic.  

I intrinsically knew I was part of the earth and can feel this whole place in a very sensual, energetic way. "All I see is part of me" was my mantra. The Himalayan Masters taught me about this nature energy in a way I could understand. I saw flowers grow for brides in a week against all law. I heard what the soil needed and listened to the trees and life around me. The flowers seemed to have different notes and sing as I walked by. I thought it was all in my head and everyone had this connect. I felt like things just talked to me or let me know what it needed or where to put plants. It was a great interaction that just seemed natural.  We all have this ability to just tune in and know. We must get into our body and out of our heads all the time! Everything is connected to us and interacting sending signals. Our environment is as alive as us.

Nature fills us with a receiving action that we can get no where else. We all know it as we step outside, our whole being changes. We fill up with negative ions on the physical level. Our senses are ignited again as we step out of our thinking. Our microbiome gets healing juice from all around us! Emotionally, the beauty so inspires us that a natural love comes forward in our feeling nature. Mentally we can shut off our brain with no effort but just gazing. Spiritually we are renewed as we see the current of life right before our eyes enlivening us! It is easy and magical. 

Embrace that you are nature. You are more of a spirit in a body than anything else. We animate this animal body and can use it for all the delights this animal offers. We get so caught in the mind that we miss the beauty that our body is taking in. We get caught on thoughts and forget all the other abilities and senses we have to experience life. In fact we miss most of it. As we reconnect, grow some plants, eat well grown food, breath in fresh air from the trees, visually get stimulated, be enticed by the sounds and enjoy the  taste, life changes dramatically.

Even this whole illness trend forgets that we swim in viruses outside and in. We are filled with viruses and actually evolve through viruses. Step back into the nature you are that wants to thrive, live healthy and naturally survive. Connect with plants, tinctures, farmers and holistic healing gifts that come from nature. They will heal you faster often, especially on an acute basis, as they are made of your nature, not in a lab. Begin where you can and realize, you are part of this whole world as you see it. It is you, you are part of it. 

This supports me in a more optimistic and happy life. I am a nature junky and get so fed by it. I use her gifts whenever I can before things get too far along. I go outside mentally knowing it heals me with no mind interjection. I know I exhale what the plants needs as they exhale the oxygen I need. It is all one. One big planet of nature and we are just guests here on the journey.

May embracing nature as you become part of your new experience in 2022! Great healing of you and you of it, all together will bring in a new world of connection that already exists!
