Chipmunk animal spirit guide:

Yesterday as I was driving out to the barn to ride the horses I came across a chipmunk who had completely stopped on the road in front of my vehicle, to which I came to a full stop for it to stare at me, then run off and up a tree. Later that same morning, the ladies and myself went for a trail ride on our horses. Low and behold, another chipmunk crosses the road in front of me. My horse stops, and we both watch it run into a storm drain, then dart out and up a tree! Twice in one day, I would say, this is a sign. The chipmunk is sharing its medicine. Here is what I found: CHIPMUNK: "The messenger of many realms. Curious and inquisitive they explore everything that comes into their lives; there is no detail that goes unnoticed. They do what they want to do in their own time and will not tolerate being told what to do. Running about; first in one direction and circling back to where they started from. (Don't get over-excited or you will forget what you set out to do.) The chipmunk is content to live under your porch or near stone foundations for warmth and protection from the elements, joyously singing in a chorus when gathered together. Chipmunks are nut gatherers, creating a stash for cold winter days. When the chipmunk visits this may indicate it is time to tighten your spending habits, allotting more funds into your savings account. If you have a chipmunk or family of chipmunks living in your yard you are likely to be blessed with abundance and can also signify a need for planning for the future. Learn to carry your nutrition with you, keep new projects secret and always have more than one exit." http://spiritwalkministry.com/spirit_guides/land_animal_spirits What a gift! XOXO, MJT

Simplify things.

Most problems you create in your mind. Heal that and enjoy the sunshine.

Some people create their own storms. Then get upset when it rains… I dance, get soaking wet, staying with it; then wait for the sunshine and FLOWERS again. LIfe is full of seasons. My mind is spring and summer! XOXO, Meta-MAria

TRUTH

"Above ALL, be the HEROINE of your own life, not the victim". - Nora Ephron

Thought of the day, Marinate on this:

As I make more positive changes, my life just gets much better. Abundance is in ALL things. Life is as great as you THINK/IMAGINE it to be. NEVER losing, only winning or LEARNING. Because, I LOVE WHAT I DO! There are so many beautiful reasons to be HAPPY. We are not born successful, its not a trait we inherit. In order to succeed in this lifetime, YOU (I) MUST HAVE COURAGE, determination/discipline/WILL, and the STRENGTH to overcome ALL obstacles put on your(my) path on you (my) road to success. So APPRECIATE your(my) current blessings, as they will attract future blessings, and choose to be optimistic, it simply feels better. Breathe in Gandhi, breathe out Godzilla. SO much LOVE, Meta-MAria

They say, "its the moments that take our breath away"

They say, "its the moments that take our breath away", and today I discovered that while running in Discovery Park. Every exhale, forced inhalation. Releasing. Energizing. Present moment. The breath… the exhalation, taking my breaths away. Forced inhalation, healing, meditation, HAPPY…BRIGHT. I love running, it forces my breath away, inhaling love, focused love. Exhaling toxins, illusions, anger, rage, poison. Forced exhalation, focused forced exhalation, grabbing, reaching for new breath, new life. Thankful for the moments that take my breath away. Discovering and creating an environment to be FREE. New moments, new me. XO, MJT

Thought of the day:

Space in relationships (all relationships) sometimes space is needed. Thats the flex and un-flexing I keep mentioning, some say, "give and take". (though I think of that term as elementary). Many solutions reside in space. Then regrouping, and communicating from a clear lens, heightened perspective infused with love, integrity and growth. WE ARE ALL HUMAN, imperfect humans!!! To remain present and not push, allowing the flow…as we all dance to an unique beat. The ones we love may hurt us the deepest, and that is ok. To love, with an open heart is to know the deepest pain, with the lowest lows you gain the highest of heights, like flying from mountain tops, diving in the valleys, hitting turbulence as you cross rivers and you get pushed back up high with great force BALLOONING as crossing larger bodies of water, like the Puget Sound! THAT IS LOVE. IT is the ride of our lives. To remain open hearted, when you are afraid and filled with fears, faced with your own darkness. Stay with it, follow it through to the other side and enter the lightness, fully connected to the flex and un-flex of the human experience. To learn and grow from this, expanding awareness and evolving others with us along the way. Listening, the lost art. And in that the dance of communicating and vulnerability exposed, busting illusions, and realizing you are so safe in the storm, with your sight on the horizon, you get a glimpse of the light. Fly high dear ones, shine bright. Stay connected to your highest intention, your own internal light. YOu are safe here, solid, grounded, just. Enjoy the ride!!! SMILE!!! YOU should be having FUN! DON"T BE AFRAID OF WHO YOU ARE. XOXO, with deep LOVE...Meta-MAria
