Today I had a conversation with a dear friend who is a firefighter. I asked him how work was. "It's okay" he said "nothing exciting. I've been answering a lot of first response calls." 

He lives in an older area of a city and there are two blocks that the firefighters refer to as the "Stairway To Heaven". They call it that because a lot of older people live in the area and the pass in their sleep. 

Their spouses call 911 and the unit responds. Often the spouses are confused and can't understand why the their partner didn't come for breakfast when called. My friend thought it was sad.

I on the other hand can't think of a sweeter way of leaving planet earth than while sleeping. Perhaps other ways are more exciting but in your sleep seems like a nice way to go.

He has to inform the partner that their spouse is dead. Not  "passed" because it isn't allowed. Not "in heaven" because there can be no reference to religion. "Not with us anymore" and not "gone"  because they might ask-"Where are they?"

We are such a careful society when it comes to death. What are we so afraid of? Why can't we just state the fact? 

I love Abraham, as channeled by Esther Hicks, who refers to death as croaking! 

My knowing is that we are welcomed with great celebration when we leave this planet and what could be better than that?

I believe that when it is our time it is our time, if we choose and the choice is not done on the conscious level, usually. 

Often people are tired and done. But, if you wake up each morning, usually you are ready to do another day on planet earth and experience all that you came to experience. Hopefully, we can find a way to be joyous as we do but sometimes we don't and that is okay too-as long as we don't let it drag on too long. What a waste of time that would be.

I can't imagine that any of us chose to land on planet earth and declare "I will be miserable all the time!" 

It may seem that way as you observe others but truly they are still here because they are trying to find the joy and the love and to remember that they are more than enough, just the way they are. 

So, if that is true, if you are more than enough just the way you are, isn't it time that you started to enjoy your life? Isn't it time that you declared that joy was your prime operative for your life?

After all it is hard to be joyous and miserable, mean, miserly, hateful and in fear. It seems to me that joy is a pretty good thing to find!

Go For It-the joy!

This past weekend I was on an energetic ride that wasn't very comfortable. I had a big button pushed. It took quite a lot of my "tools" to ride the wave.

I believe that we are subjected to energy pulses that are here to help us. They activate that which hasn't been healed and brought into wholeness. The good news is that you can ride the wave and in the end be a long way towards being healed. 

My particular button, this weekend, was finances. I am the one in our household who handles all the particulars that entails. I include my husband in the decision making but he forgets conversations we have had and then is surprised when something untoward occurs. 

We had been in the midst of a reassement by CRA. It takes a long time to resolve some of these issues and they have been on going for a few years now. Suddenly, he is interested in reading the letters and it caused him to react. I get it. I reacted too. I always keep him informed but as I said he doesn't always pay attention. 

He is a wonderful provider and by default I have become the money manager. If I were to pass today he would have no idea where everything is, even though I have told him multiple times. Truth is that I have recently realized that I wanted to prove that I could be good at this! Wonder where that need came from?

This last incident had him asking if I would write it all down in one place for him. Good idea I said. Meanwhile, my button was the button that felt like I was inadequate and inept with the finances. It isn't true but it feels true. There is my clue. Who made me feel this way? Where did this come from?

So I used my tools, Access Consciousness, meditating, walks in nature and anything to calm my anxious state. I also got my answers. I knew most of it and I have worked with these issues before. Mmmmmmm.......the layers are being healed.

My anxiety was passed down from my father and probably his father before him. Much of what we have to heal is ancestral. If you look at your family, your brothers and sisters, your parents you will probably see some of the same issues to varying degrees.

I am fortunate that I have the support of my husband and of friends who help me deal. I am fortunate to have the tools that help me. 

It turns out that two of my friends had a similar weekend of buttons being pushed. Yep, the energies are activating stuff!

So what is your stuff? Are you ready to dea with it and heal the emotions that keep you stuck in a perpetual loop?

Ask the questions-is this something I can change? How can I change it? What will it take to change it? How does it get better and what else is possible? Then wait for the answers to come. They will. I promise.

Meanwhile, if you want some help, you can contact me for a private session and help you to deal with your buttons. I actually love to do this! 

Hang in there! It will get better!
