Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Dragons.

Photo by Author

Years ago Onyx was a Fire Breathing Dragon. Now, he is usually a calm and connected partner. The Dragon comes out from time to time, but not like it did when he first arrived.

This past year was the year of the Dragon. I see my Magic Glass decided to remind me of the Dragons in my life with this lovely image. If you look carefully, you may see a second one behind it!

Or, maybe that second one is a snake, as I understand it, next year will be the year of the snake, right? Hmm. I love it when my Angelic Team sends me images that want to be shared, but actually tell me what to write when I sit down to write. I never know for sure what words will appear on the page until they do.

Tonight, I didn't think I had anything to write about. I waited all day to be inspired. I wasn't. I realized that maybe when I went out to do chores I would be inspired by something. I was, it was the peace, the quiet and the stillness. The weather has been cold. 10 F. Which for me is cold enough that I just want to hurry up and get the chores done. Today the temperature was 35F. It was lovely. The snow adds a bit of quiet to the air.

As I was leaving the barn, I gave a half whistle to Onyx. He was quietly eating his hay about 150 feet from me. He had one ear on just before I whistled. It was the quietest whistle I have ever made. He heard it and asked me if I needed him to come to me or if he could quietly stay where he was. I let him know that he was just fine where he was. I just wanted him to know I was connected to him.

I am grateful that my Dragon was peaceful today. I am grateful that my Angelic Team sent me the gift of the Dragon and Snake in the Magic Glass. An Image we can all relate to as we leave the year of the Dragon behind and enter the year of the Snake. May the Year of the Snake be peaceful and calm!

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Giraffe.

Photo by Author

Apparently the Spirit of the Giraffe has been trying to get my attention since November 27th! I have received 6 different Giraffe images from both the Magic Glass and the Coffee Froth.

Today, I was given not 1 Giraffe image, but 2 of them.

I was also sent the Giraffe Spirit from the Spirit Animal Oracle deck by Colette Baron-Reid 3 different times today. Once in an online reading and twice while I was opening my new deck.

Photo by Author Dec. 12

I realized that it was past time to look up the spiritual meaning of the Giraffe. There are several things that stood out to me. The first is that Giraffes are pacifists. They are peaceful, loving, gentle and observant. However, they will fight when they need to. A well placed kick will cripple an opponent!

Seeing situations around you from a new perspective is important! "Look at the big picture!"

I am grateful that my team of angels has sent the Giraffe Spirit images and gifts for me to become aware of what the larger picture is. I am not sure exactly what that is just yet, but I trust it will emerge and become crystal clear in time. Until it does, I will stretch up and, look around for positive outcomes coming our way. Yet, I will also be ready to strike out at any dangerous situations that may be headed our way, too!

Once again it took me time to process what the messages were. It took me time to see exactly what the messages were, too. I noticed them, but I didn't see or understand that they were indeed trying to get my attention. Honestly, I am processing the meaning of the Giraffe for this time in my life. It could have several important meanings. In time, I trust that it will become crystal clear and I will understand.

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Unicorn Energy!

Photo by Author 

This morning the Coffee Froth image of an angel riding a horse appeared! She is calm as she rides through the clouds! 

Photo by Author 

I decided to open just one deck of cards today. I chose The Magic of Unicorns by Diana Cooper. I chose this one partially because of the Image of the horse and rider, and partially because it was calling to me!

Photo by Author 

This deck is absolutely beautiful and energetically in line with me! It's words, images and amazing energy is magical. Each card drew me in as I cleared the deck, touched each card, read the words and was touched by the beauty of each image!

Photo by Author 

The pocket guide is very well written! I decided to only draw one card for my first drawing. Number 19. Coccoon of White Light! Rest within a bubble of white light and love! 


The number 19 felt familiar when I drew it, but in this moment it became clear as to why it was familiar. On the 19th of this month, our fiber optics will be installed. 


My question for this drawing was for a general message, however I was also thinking about what is next. Will I just keep writing or create something else? Will I create spiritual or mindfulness videos or continue on the path I am on with my writing?


Or will I do both.  What will that look like?


So the message to Caccoon, reminds me to be patient and allow love to heal, inspire and gift me with the perfect timing so that I can do and be the best me I can be!


I am grateful for this Magical Unicorn Energy and deck!

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Teeter Totter

Photo by Author 

Where do you like to ride a teeter totter?  


Do you choose the high side, the low side or do you prefer the middle?

Photo by Author 

This pretty little bird feels as though it would be in the middle, today! 


It feels calm and unaffected by the movement happening on either side of it. 


The energy moves up and down on either side, as it balances calmly on the fulcrum. 


The people moving up and down are enjoying the ride, yet I wonder if they realize they could choose to balance on the calm fulcrum, instead?


Moving closer to the center is the answer for both people on the teeter totter if they seek peace and calm. 


They don't have to feel the incredible highs or the crazy lows. They can feel the crystal clear and calm energy the peaceful bird is experiencing!


Today, I am grateful that I am enjoying the peaceful crystal clear energy the middle of the teeter totter freely offers to us all.

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Deep Messages.

Photo by Author

This morning I woke up realizing that the Magic Glass image of the bear and a dog silhouette had more to share with me. I realized that it was a message to share the 'Celebration of Life' angelic gifts and gratitude message with my friend.

I knew that when the moment arrived, I would share the story with her. This morning, she texted me about horses. I knew in that moment, that I was being nudged and that she and her family are loved deeply.

She was touched and I am too! I never know why I write what I write. I simply listen to the messages that appear and write them down from my heart.

Her brother loved his dogs. I believe he shared the dog images with me, to let his family know that he is doing OK and is with his dogs.

Today, I am incredibly grateful that my Angelic Team figured out how to send me images, even though I had put the Magic Glass away for a few months. I am also grateful that I brought it back out and am receiving the messages for others, too!

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Friendships.

Photo by Author

Yesterday a dear friend stopped by. We had a deep conversation about this and that. I was grateful for the company.

Today I realized that the Magic Glass image I added to my gratitudes is a picture of two different animals. One is the bear which I mentioned. The second image is of Bear, my sweet dog that started the Rock Reflection Rituals from a couple of summers ago. I feel him with me often. He was my Black Lab cross and one of the best dogs ever.

I am grateful for the lovely memories I had of Bear today!

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Time

Photo by Author

Today I am keeping it very simple. Though, I may jump on later with more rambling gifts and gratitudes. The weather is warmer today than it has been the last week, so splitting wood and playing with horses is on the agenda for today and tomorrow!!
Last week we ordered a gift we have both been wanting for ourselves. We picked out the coffee grinder, 2 French Presses that are insulated and an Electric Kettle. OH MY. The coffee is so much better than I remembered it being.
I used a French Press for years and years, though when the K-Cups became a thing, they took over. As I recall, I did not want to give up my French Press, but eventually I did. The ease of a k-cup became the norm.
I am so very grateful that we have returned to using the French Press. We each can grind our preferred organic beans and since the French Press is insulated, it stays hot for the perfect amount of time for me to have my 2 cups of coffee.
Most of all, the taste is richer and more robust. These 4 items have brought us both so much joy. Who knew something so simple could be exactly what we needed in our lives.
We don't need the ease of the K-Cup style of brewing coffee anymore. We have time to grind the beans, heat the water and press the coffee. We have time to enjoy our individual coffee recipes. We have time together, as we discuss the agenda for the day and catch up on the news of the day! We are not in a hurry anymore. Life is peaceful and quiet.
I am grateful for the life we live and the time we have to listen to each other and to our wisdom.

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Memories




Yesterday, I realized after I wrote for the day, that my friend was sending me hearts after I had dreamed of her.


In my dream I said, "Why haven't you called, it's not like you to go so long between calls!"
Today, she and my angelic team, sent me another heart. A teddy bear holding a heart. After she crossed, I saw a teddy bear cloud with a heart on the belly. During that time, I noticed all kinds of clouds in the sky to let me know that she had made it safe and sound across the veil. I can hear her now!

"Guess what?"

I would answer, "What?" knowing I would hear the answer if I responded or not!

"Not only can I make Teddy Bears with hearts in the clouds, I can do it in your coffee, too!"

I am grateful that the Veil is thin. I am grateful that my loved ones found my vibrational signature and have learned how to communicate with me. This is a two way street. A connection, a relationship that is built on trust and faith.

Photo by Author

I suspect my friend sent the chicken, too. She loved her hens. Some of them had moved with her from SD to Colorado before they moved with her again to Wisconsin.

I visualize my friends and family sitting around a fire pit discussing the images they want to create and send to me. Of course the images need to be ones that I will recognize as being from them. The chicken and the Teddy Bear are easy. My dad and a friend from high school gave me Teddy Bears.

The dog with the patch on its eye looks like the dog I had when I got my first teaching job. His name was Skipper. That dog and I went everywhere together. He even rode the ski lift with me when I was a ski instructor many years ago. My mom may have thought up his image for today, as she loved all of my dogs. She went with me to pick him out. He was a Sheltie that was too big for the show ring or for breeding. He was absolutely the perfect companion for me.

The troll and the beaver. Oh how fun. This was my dad's idea. He use to tell stories to the grand kids all of the time about a troll on a bridge. That troll was the meanest troll around. He made every person and animal pay the toll to use the bridge. Even the beaver who could swim under it, or build a dam to flood it. The kids and my dad would laugh and laugh as the story changed every time they saw each other.

Today, I am grateful that my loved ones cared enough to send me these lovely images. I have had the best time thinking about what each image represents on this day. They brought me great joy!

Magical Gratitude and Gifts: Truth In Lovelight

Photo by Author
Today I am grateful for hearts. One appeared in the coffee froth, one appeared in the Magic Glass and another appeared as a piece of firewood.

Photo by Author

Stopping to cherish the symbol of love, when it appears, has become a magical experience for both my husband and I. He finds as many hearts, it seems, as I do. He found a leaf that was torn just right and buried in a little bit of snow yesterday. It looked like a heart the way it was presented in the snow. He was excited to share it with me. It made me smile as he told me what it looked like when he found it.
We call our little piece of heaven on earth, Whispering Hearts, because the land talks to us. Our horses and dogs talk to us. The trees talk to us and the wildlife talks to us, too!

We find peace and calm here on this property. When the hearts show up, we know we named this place the right name because our Angelic Team uses them to send us messages of love or confirmation.

I drew the card from the Love and Light deck the other day. I didn't take a picture of it at that time, but I left it out so that I would be reminded to do so. This morning my coffee froth image was not something that I recognized until I went upstairs and saw the woman's beautiful hair flowing out behind her. The image was a nudge to study this card.
I am asked to let go of my resistances and judgments. Seriously? I want to hang onto them, I don't want to let them go. How can letting them go, lead to freedom in my truth?
Letting go allows peace of mind. When we let go, life becomes crystal clear. Letting go allows the lovelight to shine. Our thoughts become clearer and we are connected to our angelic team, wisdom, god, source, the universe or whatever you call a higher power. Inspiration comes from this peaceful, calm space. The tighter we hold on to attachments, resistance and judgment the farther we are from our truth.

I just heard the song, Freedom, in my head. It is such a powerful song!

The Magic Glass sent me 2 images today. A wolf and a cat. Notice the heart made of light on the cat image! In my heart I am a cat lady. The heart made of light is a message. A loving message of hope, love and joy. I reminder to be free in the truth of love, light, hope and joy!

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes: Rise Up, Be Buoyant!

Photo by Author

I was searching for a gift and a gratitude for today. I was searching really, really hard for them. I was looking at license plates, I was looking for animals, (I did see a red tailed hawk, but it wasn't radiant like yesterday), I watched the ground thinking I would see a coin or stuffed animal that had fallen out of a car. Nothing, but a green and red piece of twine that also didn't radiate. I was hoping to talk to a friend when we checked out of the store, instead it was a man I was seriously trying to avoid. I didn't want to talk about horses with him. We don't think alike. Instead I wanted to talk to the gal with the joyful heart. How interesting, spirit said, nope, go to the gentleman.
I had decided not to bring up horses, however I had a horse on my sweatshirt. Imagine that! Yep, he asked me if I had horses. That lead to one conversation after another. OOPS. I so wanted to find the gifts and the gratitudes. Hmmm, that was not happening. My energy was dropping, my heart was not joyful and I was packing the bag way too heavy for a single layered bag. Fortunately, the bag held and did not fall apart.
In the meantime, I was being questioned about the use of the word grateful when I stated that I was grateful that he pardoned his son. I couldn't use the word that way. Finally, I put up a boundary and blocked the 3 people who were being bullies about my comment.
As I put away the groceries, I pondered the experience. I apparently was looking way too hard for a gift and a gratitude to write about today. I took a few deep breaths. It occurred to me, that because I was looking so hard for them to appear, I was pushing them away. I was drawing in the vibration that the feeling of "LOOKING HARD" and frustration was vibrating at. Grief, fear, anger, apathy etc, all vibrate lower than, joy, love hope, excitement, curiosity and kindness radiate at.
I decided to sit with that idea for a moment. Dan had brought in a package that had arrived from Amazon. I remember being curious as I opened it, cause I had totally forgotten what we had ordered. There on the top of the box was a new Oracle Deck I had ordered a few days ago. Inner Child Oracle, created by Amanda Lynn Aisling. My hands were damp, so I set it on the kitchen table. I couldn't wait to sit down to open it.
When I did, I was pulled in completely to the beauty of each card. I touched each card as I admired each one with lovelight. I was in awe of each card. I knew that I was keeping it. My energy lifted dramatically. Healing me from the lower vibrational energy I was feeling earlier in the day.
I shuffled the cards and drew 3 of them for this community of people who will see and read this post.
I love this first card. Emotions are the reflection. Well, do I even need to say more about that? I don't think so, but I will. My trying hard to look for something exciting to write about, was pulling my energy lower and lower. It wasn't until I became aware of my experience, that I could change the outcome and draw in a positive and uplifting experience for myself and possibly some of you.
The second card Let it go. Let go of all that no longer serves you. Well dang, that is exactly what I needed to do to draw in the positive feeling I had when I saw the box in the first place. I was curious, I felt like a child opening a gift. It was delightful to see the oracle cards that I had forgotten about. It was uplifting to read each one and fill the deck with lovelight. My heart was grateful for the experience because I was reminded to stay in the circle of love, hope and joy and let the lower vibration of fear, grief and frustration go. It does not serve anyone to hold onto the lower vibrations.
The 3rd card was, do what you need to do, it may be difficult, but now is the time. The angel with the rays of light showering down upon her filled me with a magical feeling. Doing what you need to do, not always what you want to do was the message in the guidebook. I wanted to write today so that I could stay in the flow for all of you, but what I needed to do was let go so that my Angelic Team could write it for me.

A lovely, sweet duck showed up in my coffee foam this morning. Ducks spend time in the air, on the ground and in the water. They adapt to the environment around them. They do what they need to do to survive in the wild. They migrate with the seasons. This looks to be a hen. She blends in with nature to raise and protect her young from predators. They are naturally buoyant. They rise up. An angelic message to rise up. Lift up our vibration. Do what we need to do to protect our energy from dropping into that lower range, where we don't want to be.
Today I am grateful for the lesson to be buoyant. Be curious, be loving, be kinder. This was a lovely and unexpected gift.

Magical Gifts and Gratitudes. A Celebration of Life.

Photo by Author

Today on my way to a Celebration of life for a friends brother, I had a feeling that my dad and my dear friend would be coming with me. I didn't think my mom would, but I believe I was wrong.

On my way to the Celebration I nearly hit a squirrel who was dancing in the middle of the road. I slowed down and off it went to the safety of the side of the road. I moment later I saw a lovely Red Tail Hawk sitting in a tree. Its feathers were all puffed up because of the cold. I immediately thought of my dad, but he usually appears as an eagle unless we are on our property. I was pondering if it was my friend, my dad or my mom when a 2nd Red-Tail Hawk appeared in another tree along the side of the road.

I smiled when it occurred to me that the squirrel was my friend and the Red Tails were my mom and dad. I expected my dad to go with me, because this young man's dad worked for my dad, as did 2 of the sons. The funeral was for the youngest one.

My heart was full of love of this family as I greeted and hugged each of the 3 siblings. May they find peace in knowing that he is with their parents now. We talked about how close the 4 of them were and how hard it is to say goodbye to their youngest brother.

I was reminded as we talked that their father was one of my role models in life. I told my friend's sister, that because of their dad, I knew what to look for in a man when I was looking for a partner. My husband is so much like their dad. It came out of my mouth in a way that seemed so perfect for today, even though it was for their younger brother, not their dad.

This family is close to each other in a way that I always dreamed of it being for mine. It didn't turn out that way for me, but I sure love seeing it in other families. That kind of love for each other, gives me hope for this world.

I am grateful for the gifts my Angelic Team sent to me today of the Squirrel, and two Red Tails. I am grateful for the Angel numbers I saw after I saw the animals and put 2 and 2 together as to who was who. 888 was on a license plate as I waited at a stoplight. Confirmation that I was correct. I am also grateful for the scent of the sweet cigar that I caught in the wind earlier this morning.

I just now had a nudge from my angelic team to add a picture. You are not going to believe this, but the face of a dog appeared in my coffee foam this morning. I just now realized that my friend's brother was with me, too! He loved dogs. There was a statue of a hunting dog at the Celebration of Life that looks so very similar to this picture. I wish I had taken a picture of that statue, it was a large statue. Puppy size of a Yellow Lab. There was a red collar around the statues neck that was once worn by his best hunting dog.

Now I have goosebumps and tears of confirmation.
