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: 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.

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!

Angelic Messages Whales and More

Photo by Author

My Angelic team has really taken this communication seriously! Yesterday, my second cup of coffee revealed a !

In one of my first meditations in my meditation group, and many after that first one, whales appeared!

Wow, this explanation of the whale totem was incredible.

"The whale teaches you about listening to your inner voice, understanding the impact your emotions have on your everyday life, and following your own truth."

I have been led to listen deeply to my inner wisdom. My emotions have been deep and I strongly feel as though I follow and share my personal truth. I also encourage each of you to do the same.

Listen deeply, as you become the best you can be, as you follow your truth on an amazing and magical adventure!

The whale, the fish and bubbles are sharing space together as they each listen to their inner wisdom, following their individual truth. It's a magical and harmonious world.

We all can live this loving magical life, if we channel the energy of the whale and teach those around us to do the same!

Today, 2 new animals appeared!

I believe the first was a seal and the second is a bunny with a heart eye!

Photo by Author

I see a seal that is flipped inward. On its tail is a stuffed animal or ball with the head of a deer or giraffe on it. beneath it to the left is a smaller seal watching the fun.

Seals remind me of children. The joy, the love and the trust that children display as they play individually or together is a lovely energy to be surrounded by.

I am reminded to be as joyful as a child. I am grateful for the happy memories of my childhood. I am reminded to remember them, because they helped me become the me I am today.

Yes, there was grief, but not all of it was filled with grief, the waves the seals are playing in have highs and lows weaved throughout them. This is what life is made of. This is part of the magic, that makes this world an adventure. The waves of grief roll into the waves of love, and joy. Ride the waves, be playful with each other.

The heart as an eye for this lovely bunny is a reminder to me to listen with my heart before I respond or react.

The 3 cards were drawn yesterday afternoon! This was my question as I drew the cards!

How do I use my gifts, auto writing, speaking, listening to the animals, etc. If I don't know what my purpose is?

Maybe I am a teacher, healer and supportive person to animals and people? A conduit!

Feel free to meditate or ponder and comment on one or more pictures! Does one draw you in over another? Does a message come to you? Trust the message! Share if you are drawn to share!

An Unexpected Dream Meditation.

 

Photo by author

During the morning hours of Tuesday morning, I had a vivid dream. I am still thinking about it today so I decided it was time to write it down. 

I am asking my team to help me remember the important parts of this dream so I know that I am sharing the messages. 

During the dream, I remember seeing a man from my past. His name was even said, I hear it now and see his face. He was a manager of a real estate company that I once worked at. (for privacy reasons, I will not state it here.) He asked me what was going on at my parents property because there was a lot of black top being laid, like a huge parking lot. I said, I don’t know anything about that. I will find out. 

I decided to call my mom and talk to her. There was a moment when I remember asking myself if she had already crossed the veil or not. I decided that calling her was the right decision. I remember dialing my childhood phone number on a cell phone. She has not had that number for years and years. 

She answered, and I asked her about the black top. She said that she had moved, so she did not have any idea what was going on with the black top. I remember being shocked that she had moved. Our connection was not great, there was a loud TV show playing in my ear. I was yelling into the phone, so she could hear me. Her voice was faint, but I could make out bits and pieces. 

I asked her why she had not called me to let me know she was moving. I yelled, “I always help you move and set up your new place.” (Mom had moved a lot when she was on this side of the veil.) I vaguely remember her saying that she didn’t need anything this time. 

I asked her if she was in an apartment or a house. I asked her this several times, because the connection was breaking up, the sound of the TV seemed like it was getting louder and louder. 

She said that she thought it was a house, but it could have been a very large apartment. She said that it was beautiful and absolutely perfect for what she needed now. 

I felt at peace hearing her voice, but frustrated that our connection was so difficult because of the loud noise in my ear. 

The dream visited me throughout the day. I believe that this was an authentic visit from her to me, letting me know that she is indeed OK. 

She has been on my mind because her adorable little dog, Nabby, has been staying with us for a few days. He has lived with my son and daughter in law since my mother’s passing. Nabby has been so darn happy to be here with us. He dances around, like he did around my mom. I think that his lovely and strong connection to her, helped my mom to connect to me through this early morning dream.

Interestingly, I was also wearing a headband with a Bluetooth speaker. I turned on my phone and watched a YouTube video around 3 am, before falling back to sleep.. Apparently more and more videos continued playing the rest of the morning. The sound was coming into only one ear, because the second speaker was not working last night. The speaker for my right ear was working, but the left was not, last night. 

I take that as a sign, too. Because that left speaker had been working just fine when I went to bed Monday night… It was not working Tuesday night. I believe that the strong energy from beyond the veil, broke the wire to the left speaker, so I could hear my mom’s voice with my left ear. It was faint, but it was there. 

I am grateful to my team for sending me this gift. 

The message was clear, too!. She was sorry that she had not invited me to help with her last move. I didn’t help move her material possessions because I was incredibly hurt. Our family has always had discourse, but we became even more divided after her passing. I had hoped we could repair and connect again, but I was wrong. She had apparently told each of us very different things over the years. These words did not bring about repair, instead it caused more pain and negative energy. Unfortunately, the  division still exists to this day for various reasons. 

I am incredibly grateful for her apology from the other-side of the veil. I wish that repair could have occurred before her passing, as it did with my dad, but given that I am able to connect to my angelic team, this connection was a heart healing one.

April Gratitude Practice: Horse Connection!

Photo by author

Onyx smelled my hair tonight while I was pulling his hay apart at his feet, (I have a new shampoo, but it's been a couple of weeks since I started using it. I was however thinking about cutting my hair shorter for the summer, as I was walking out to do chores!) He must have been pondering my thoughts!

A few minutes later, I had moved away from him. He proceeded to leave his hay, to ask me if he could, just maybe, have a treat, while I was scooping his stall?

Treat manners are soooo important! I love how polite he has become!

Our connection makes me smile! I am so incredibly grateful for our connection!

Do you have a connection with a loved one that needs no words?

Heartfelt Gratitude Practice: Magical Energy

Photo by author

Can you feel the love radiating from this Magic Glass image? I can feel it bubble up between the turtle and the koala. Wow, I am incredibly grateful for this magical energy. They are playful, happy and connected. 

Isn't it incredible that beautiful heart connections can be seen, as well as felt? We understand this feeling when we are around it. We lean in and smile. Love pulls us in. It lifts us up, from wherever we are. It is as if Magical Loving Fairy Dust is raining down all around us. I think clearer and feel more peaceful, when I am around a loving energy. Wisdom and insights flow naturally. I am calmer, too!

Today, I am grateful for the energy of love that radiates out from this image, for today, my mind and body are tired. I am grateful that I can lean into love and soak it up. I can receive this gift today, knowing that tomorrow, I will be rested and ready to tap into my heart songs, where inspiration, wisdom, and insights will magically dance together, once again. 

Have you ever leaned into love? 

Do you trust love to pull you in?

What is your heartfelt gratitude for today? 

Manifest a magical day. 

Magical Gifts and Goodies: Moments of Gratitude

When I walked out to the arena the other day, Onyx called out to me from the arena gate! We had played together a few days before in the arena, so this was his way of letting me know he wanted to play again, which was a huge compliment! If our play had not been good for him. He would have walked away. I certainly would not have been greeted with a heartfelt sweet sounding whiny!

The next afternoon, I walked out to the barn to get something I needed in the house. Onyx was laying down in the sunshine over on his hill. He kept an ear on my, but didn't stand up. Instead of going directly to the barn, I walked over to him, gave him a treat and loved on him for a few minutes. He stayed laying down. He trusts me! This too, was a huge compliment to our relationship! If he didn't trust me, he would have stood up.

Both of these moments with Onyx, were special! Both made my heart sing! Both were magical gifts that I am very grateful for! we are progressing, we are becoming one together. It has taken time and will continue to take time, but for now, we are feeling the magic.

Have you felt a connection with a 4 legged friend?

Has that connection felt magical?

When you feel the magical connection, do you take the time to appreciate it and them?

Magical Gifts and Goodies: Mesmerizing Harmony!

Photo by Dan Kirchner

Yesterday Onyx and I enjoyed a magical day playing together. He was my gift, my goodie and a gem to play with! Dan was putting our tack out on the rails, so we could easily tack up our horses. Onyx responded with his joyous call to my heart as I walked out to the barn!  Onyx's sweet call was asking if he could be picked by me to play with! Connection with a horse is huge! When they offer to connect, to play and to be chosen, it is a  magical gift to be treasured. 

Onyx has been with us for 3.5 years. I felt connected to him even though we were hundreds of miles apart. The story is too long for this moment in time, but we had some struggles once we were in the same physical space. I swear he thought I was a horse he could play with, not a human who he needed to be careful with! So, we started there. We started with learning how to play with a human, who connects like a horse! Yesterday, I took him up on his desire to play with me in the arena! It was an amazing experience, for us both! 

After I invited him into the arena to munch on the grass along the edges, I asked him to join me. He wasn't exactly ready, as there was one more patch of grass he just has to try. I listened, I heard and I waited. I asked again. He was ready to connect politely. Maybe because I was polite, too? We walked over to the tie rail. Dan joined us with his horse, Harvey! 

I brushed Onyx and saddled him even though ground driving was what we were going to do first! It's OK to dress him up for riding, even if I never ride! I even put my helmet on, which I usually only put on when I ride. I didn't know if I would be riding him. It all depended on our connection and feel!

Photo by Dan Kirchner

We started with ground driving, one of my favorite things to do. I started ground driving when I was very young. I had a lovely pony named Chiquita. I spent many magical hours with her, before I moved to the full-size horses. She taught me how to connect, how to communicate with my heart and how to listen deeply to a horse. She didn't care what we did together either. I could sit on her while she ate, I could hang out with her in the field. I ground drove her, rode her on trails or in the arena. We moved gracefully around trees, jumps and flower beds! We had a hill in the backyard that we climbed up. There was a birdbath at the bottom of that hill that we carefully moved around, because I didn't want to knock it over. It was a magical way to grow up! Onyx was as connected and confident as my childhood pony, Chiquita as we drove around the trees, the trailer and the barrels! He was willing and confident! 

All of a sudden, I felt the calling. "Ride! Let's Ride! I will take care of you!" I knew it to be true! I put the reins on the halter, as I had a new bit in his mouth. I threaded the snaps carefully though the ring on the bit and snapped them onto his rope halter. I could talk to both his mouth and his nose this way exactly like I had been while driving. I tightened his girth one notch on each side. I was confident and filled with gratitude as we walked to the mounting block. He set himself up to allow me to easily get on. He was inviting me, waiting for me, drawing me on.

Once on, I reached for my treat bag and offered him a treat, with gratitude in my heart. My confidence was intact, as was his. He waited for me to start the riding conversation. He didn't assume, judge or hurry off without me. He waited until I was ready. He waited until my heart was beating with his as one. He waited until I was connected with him at that moment, while on his back, instead of being several feet behind him. I too waited! I took that magical moment into my heart. I wasn't thinking about all of the things thought could go wrong or even the things that could have gone right. I simply was calm, peaceful and abundantly grateful!

When we walked off, the magical feeling walked off with us. We were one as we navigated the trees, the bridge, the logs and the barrels! It was a magical adventure. We experienced one moment at a time together, as we turned, backed up and weaved around the arena. I had not felt this much joy riding a horse in years. It was short, but it was the magic ride we both needed to experience together! It has taken time and support from my husband, dear friends and my coach to feel this magical harmony with Onyx! One magical step at a time! One magical experience after another! Becoming one heart, mind and soul starts with one tiny spark of connection. Follow the magic, follow the glitter, find the sparkle where harmony exists!

Dream big, but enjoy the ride long before it becomes harmonious and magical! Speaking of magic. Last night the Magic Glass gave me this amazing image. I actually took 3 pictures as it was so mesmerizing! A magical gift, for our gifts and goodies story, today!  A calm mystically connected glittering horse to let me know that my team was also with us, as Onyx and I created a magical harmonious memory together! 

What magical dream does your heart want to accomplish?

Have you been grateful for the spark of that dream?

Do you hear your dream calling to you to take the next harmonious step?

Angelic Communion Practice: Image

Photo by Debbie Soderberg Kirchner

My heart was so full as I watched Image eating at sunset last night. I could hear her say thank you to me for getting her well again. She is back to being her cheeky self with an added layer of love for Dan and I.

I am full of gratitude today because it is our traditional Thanksgiving! However, I am learning to be full of gratitude everyday as I practice communing with my angel team on a daily basis.

Gratitude, listening and following the Magic dust as I go about my day and writing about it, has been a divine gift. I wrote a lot in my younger days. Fortunately, I saved many of those hand written and later typed pieces. Someday, I will share them with the world, too!

My dad believed in my writing. He didn't believe that the veil was thin enough to connect with me after he passed, until he did, but he supported my passion, my drive to write. He bought me a computer, so I could write a book. The time was not right, I had a family, a divorce, a career in teaching and an incredible second marriage to the best partner ever to do first. Now, in this chapter of my life, I have the time, the energy and the passion to dig deep and write. For this, I am grateful.

One of the things I thought about when my thumb was first hurt was my writing. How was I going to do this? How was I going to hold my phone or sit at the table and type? Interestingly, this accident actually became a bit of a blessing. It reminded me that I could ask for help, but also that I could still do many, many things.

As I regained most of my independence, the joy of being able to do the simple things has been an interesting feeling. Like the day I tied my shoes by myself or the day I managed to wash and cut up vegetables again were triumphant days.

I am grateful for my amazing husband. Today, on Thanksgiving and everyday. Our partnership is soul deep. We speak the same language. We always have. We help each other when we need help, but we also encourage independence. We encourage each other to do what brings us each joy. Our horses, our dogs, our land, our passions, our family and our gifts bring us joy. We share many passions, but both of us have our own, too!

Today, I am grateful that my typing was not affected this past week, instead it has magically become easier! I am reminded that trauma can be a gift once we reach the other side of the pain. I am thankful that Image is healthy and strong, I am thankful for a wonderful, kind, empathetic, loving husband and friend. I am thankful, humbled and excited for this chapter of my life.

I am grateful for you, my dear readers for your time, your love and your beautiful insights and comments!

Have you started a magical practice of your own? (Angelic Communion, Gratitude, Spirit Guide, Meditation, Stillness, Self Care, etc.)

How do you feel after you spend time in your daily practice?

Do you listen, learn and follow your inner wisdom during and after your daily practice?

Angelic Communion Practice: Magical Dance of Gratitude

The Magic Glass presented me with several meaningful images! Heart bubbles! A Tinker Bell or Orb circle! A horse head and a lovely cat image! There may even be a baby bird sitting in a wee little nest!

My Angelic Communion Practice posts were recommended by Anne Bellamy, on Medium! She is an author, and editor of Soul Steering! Tears of gratitude appeared as I read her touching words!

I believe my team of angels had a hand in this story! My heart is overflowing with gratitude! 

We, my team of angels, the Magic Glass, my horses, cats, dogs, my friends and husband have all supported me as I simply listen and write from my heart!

The stories flow out of me when I give myself to the process and ask for guidance, for words, for wisdom!

Sometimes they bubble up in a matter of minutes! Other times the inspiration arrives throughout the day or even while I sleep! 

Today, the Magic Glass images are celebrating, dancing and sprinkling glittering fairy dust down upon me! 

Please join us in the magical dance of gratitude! 

How does it make you feel when you are given a heartfelt complement? 

My dogs dance, my horses prance, my heart sings when I am complemented! What do you do?

When you give a heartfelt complement what do you notice, in yourself or in others?

Angelic Communion Practice: Great Dane Memories

 

Photo by Debbie Soderberg Kirchner 

Magical memories inspired by the Magic Glass! 

Growing up I had a Great Dane, her name was Ginger! My mom let me get her, but didn't tell my dad. Oh dear!

We sat down for dinner, which was typical. Gin was a tiny little one. Mom had me leave her in my bedroom before dad got home! My bedroom was on the opposite end of the house! The plan was to tell my dad when we finished eating! 

I must have been 11 or 12 at the time. I had been begging for and researching Great Dane's for a couple of months.  I, like many kids, had fallen in love with Danes after we saw a Disney movie, "The Ugly Dachshund" and every evening at dinner I updated my family about what I had learned about them!

Everyday, I read the classified section of the newspaper, looking for registered Great Danes. Usually in the morning after my parents were finished reading it! When I found the ad that morning advertising Great Danes, I was so excited! I ran to the kitchen to show it to my mom! We called together. We arranged to go look at them that afternoon! 

We went, fell in love and brought her home! Oops! Dad hadn't said no to the idea of me getting a puppy, but he hadn't said yes to it either! 

So, that evening as we held hands and prayed, Ginger started to scratch at my bedroom door! I think mom and I looked at each other, with a look of yikes on our faces! We had not thought about her scratching cause she wanted me!

Once Amen was said, my dad looked up and around the table! I bit my lip in anticipation of what he was going to say when he met her! Dad noticed and asked me about the scratching sound. Before I could answer, she was howling! I ran to my room, picked her up and brought her out to meet my dad! Fortunately, she was adorable and my dad fell in love with her right away! 

Dad was a hunter, so I was, too! One of my favorite memories if Ginger and my dad was while we were out hunting pheasants. Ginger was leaping through the tall grass right along with Lucky, our Black Lab whovwas walking with his nose to the ground. I was walking behind her laughing at her. She looked like a deer because of her size and color! 

She must have leaped 5 or 6 times, so I knew when she didn't appear in the back up in the air, after a moment or two, that something was wrong! Sure enough, she fell into a semi deep ditch. Lucky saw it and walked around it. We were able to help her out unhurt! We laughed about that for years! 

I have many, many stories about Ginger! She was an amazing heart dog!

I am grateful for these sweet memories from my angelic team! Smiles, joy and deep love radiates from my soul!

When you are reminded of a special memory how do you feel? 

Can you picture the memory in color images?

Do you share a happy, heartfelt memory with others or keep it to yourself?
