Changes are needed in our lives. We aren’t meant to stay the same… so change comes in and transforms us, molds us into something better, smarter, wiser. Change brings us lessons and growth and I bet if you think back to changes that have occurred in your life that the changes you thought you didn’t want .. you are now grateful for. They may not be wanted at first.. but they are needed.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…. is this the technique we use when you have choices to make? There is a better way! Choose what calls to you, choose what is in your heart.

When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said “I Love You” to yourself? It’s great to love others and to be kind and give to as many people as you like, but don’t neglect yourself in the process. You deserve a little love too, ya know!

Life isn’t about title gained, amount of money your bank account has in it, the car you drive, how many friends you have or anything of such. At the end of our lives all that will matter when you look back is “Were you Happy?”

At times there are no need for words or actions…. you can share energy with others with thought alone. Let down your walls an just share whatever energy you wish with someone. You don’t even have to be in the same space to do this. Everything in made of energy. Simply focus and direct your energy where you wish to go.. and share it with someone close to you today.
Many Blessings,

This story began when time began. Two souls who found each other again and again, lifetime after lifetime. The journey, never the same but the love and the connection between the two souls remained as steady as the light from the moon.
It has always been as if there were two hearts beating as one. Like a native drum, the rhythm of their hearts called to each other across land and time. The two felt like they were simply wandering aimlessly looking for something they weren’t even sure existed. Then there would be the first glimpse of something. Without knowing what it was, they followed their hearts one step, one moment at a time. The closer they came to one another the more awake their souls began to feel. The beating inside them grew stronger, grew louder with every moment as their paths began to cross. The feelings inside them stirred like a winter storm out of control.
There was always this emptiness inside them that could only be filled by the other. Without knowing what it was they were seeking, their journey often felt unbearable. Love appeared to them in many ways but never felt true. Heartache after heartache they endured. It was never much of a task to heal, for the love only ran so deep, never to the depths that they wished for. Somewhere inside them they knew there was another kind of love that existed. It was only when they met that true love was found. It was so frightening, that kind of love. That kind of connection between two souls that seemed magical beyond words. Unbreakable. A bond between two souls, like a binding contract with the stars. It was something that was always meant to be. They would always find each other.
At times there wasn’t enough life in their journey to find each other, so the search continued over into the next life and the next and the next until once again they would be united. Life always felt the same kind of darkened void until they would meet. Again and again through time they followed that rhythm beating inside them. The calling was for their union.
What is it they were meant to do? Why were they always searching for each other? What is it that kept them on this path toward one another? Was it just a game of hide-n-seek between two playful souls or was it something else? Each life together brought them new happiness and then great sorrow when it was time again for them to part.
Was it the lessons learned on their way to each other or was it the gift of finding the other? Maybe it was all of the above and everything in between. The answers we may never know. Only the stars can tell us the true story. What we do know is that this journey toward each other continues… lifetime after lifetime.

We all have them… some it may feel like have far more than others. Our struggles are all different but they all build us.. they shape us in one way or another. Struggles force us to grow. They reveal to us what is hidden inside. This life is a frighteningly wonderful journey… The struggles that we go through are also frighteningly wonderful. They scare us and then they show us a gift. Whether that be a gift of knowing that we can survive or a gift of revealing to us something we didn’t know we could do.

Change is hard to deal with.. we become uprooted from our comfort zone and placed in unfamiliar territory. In this video I talk about just that and how I have dealt with change and how I see it now after the events.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Often in life we choose to settle. We settle for things that do not compliment our Spirit. When we make choices that don’t fill our soul and compliment our spirit, when we settle for less than.. those things always have a way of falling away from us. Sooner or later they will go away because they were never meant to be. We need to make a conscious effort to be awake in our own lives and make better choices for ourselves.
Many Blessings,

A Vision of Rebirth
This Vision came to me in March of 2006
As I drift off to sleep this cold, winter night in March underneath the full moon, the Storm Moon, I see a young native Indian man. He is very strong and wise beyond his years. He is a healer, what some might call a medicine man.
I lay before him in a trance like state as he begins his ritual. He starts off with chants and a bit of a dance. With leaves of some sacred plant tucked into his ear lobes he dances about my body, cleansing my soul and the air that surrounds me so that the healing process may begin. Blessing the area once cleansed, he continues with his mystic chants.
I see myself laying there, now bound by the feet and ankles … A white horse I see, this horse is there to carry me on my journey. A ritual of unbinding my legs now begins.. large knives or blades are heated by the blazing fire that roars in the circle, then used to cut away what ties me down. A white wolf appears.. by my side he takes a protective stance , he holds his position at my side to protect my spirit as the ritual continues through the night.
My head is then wrapped with some sort of large, green leafy plant anointed in the native medicines, my eyes are then covered as well with the same. Pink blossoms are then placed over my eyes.. Not sure what the flower is but it is fragrant, not strong but a gentle scent and the petals are long and oval shaped much like a star but with many more points. As I am being healed I am also being given certain gifts. At this time I do not question all that goes on, I accept the healing and welcome the gifts.
Natives at both my sides chanting and dancing all around me, I am then adorned with white seeds that are placed down the center of my stomach, from my breasts to my navel. I reach down to touch the ever faithful wolf that still stands guard at my side. As I stroke his fur, he leans in to my touch and yet maintains his stance to re-affirm that he remains to be my protector and shall not, under any circumstances leave my side. … To each side of me there are natives painting my body with ointments in healing colors. They paint on symbols of healing and rebirth… my insides are being healed for the next stage of the ritual. Now below my navel a large area is painted. This is where my womb lies. Oh yes, I see, now it is clear that I am about to give birth. Birth to who or what I ask…
Once the adornment is complete the medicine man and his fellow natives begin to chant at a stronger, louder, more intense pace. The birthing has begun and I see and image emerging from my own stomach. A figure cloaked in white .. What’s this I see? I am giving birth to my own self! Slowly I rise from within myself.. a long laboring task. Once I am fully born I look back to have a look back at the body I have just come from. Now nothing more than an empty shell. It looks as though all the useful bits were taken out and now all that is left is a thick skin of a shell. A tough thick skin, for that person that I came from had grown tough from many lifetimes of pain and suffering. I see I have taken the heart with me and yet left the brain behind. Maybe this is telling me that the old way of thinking is no longer needed and that new thinking is now possible. … Leaving behind also all the painful memories that cluttered the mind and held me back from truly progressing. My eyes I see I have taken as well, but they have been cleansed and renewed so that I may have a fresh, untainted look at the world around me.
With new eyes, new visions emerge., and with new visions come new hopes, new dreams, new goals and a whole new life.
As I am now fully free from my old self, I go to the white wolf to thank him for the devotion and protection he has given to me during this time of renewal. I kneel before him and look into his eyes and tears begin to fall from my newly reopened eyes. I am overcome with so much emotion for when our eyes met, I saw the heart and soul of this wolf. Strong and pure, full of love. A love so true that no sacrifice was too big. For I saw that the wolf would give his own life for my protection.
As I gather myself, I am told to rise and hold my head up high.. for now I am to see myself as a priestess and I needed to start living the part. I was told to recognize my gifts and embrace the new me that has emerged this cold March night. This would be my next great task in life, for I have never seen myself in such a position of stature. I was told that by accepting my new position was to truly love myself and it was less of a title that others would know me by and more of one that would be known to myself. Knowing who you are and accepting that and embracing it with love is the only way to inner peace and with your own inner peace you can now finally begin to help others heal. For your inner self is like your home and if your home is not in order you cannot expect to help others get theirs in order. As I agree to accept the new life that has been given.. I begin my journey.. walking down life’s path again, with a new perspective and new look at what the world has in store and what magic lies ahead.
With the white wolf at my side we begin down the path and I see myself transform into a wolf as well and we run off into the shadows of the night.. side by side we run off to start anew.. not in front or behind but at the side of my protector.

Yep, I lost who I am… for a very long time, I dimmed my light to make sure someone else was comfortable with me. They didn’t ask me to, they didn’t even know I was doing it. I felt like I needed to do it, so I did… and I lost myself. The right people won’t make you feel like you need to dim your light or soften who you are … the right people love everything that you truly are. In fact, it is your true self that they love the most!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
With everything life throws at us, we can find ourselves getting too comfortable in the wrong surroundings. Get get stuck in a pit that consumes us and find ourselves just waiting there. What are we waiting for? Some magical rope that will mysteriously pull us out? We have to make our minds that, that is not where we belong and pull ourselves out. We have everything within us to get out of the pit… we just have to make up our minds to do so.
Many Blessings,

A midnight waltz among the stars, where he reaches out to take hold my hand and it feels as though we have become one. With nothing more than a single touch, his spirit and mine join together and we dance. In perfect unison, each step followed by another so effortlessly. Gliding along through space and time with an ease that settles deep within my soul. Hand in hand, our fingers laced together so perfectly that one would not know who’s fingers belonged to who. It may seem silly, this dance, to others… but it is a connection that can never be broken. It’s a nightly ritual of two souls who long to be together in physical form, but distance keeps them apart. For now.
When night fills the sky and it is time to close their eyes, the two lovers meet in a sacred place that only they know. Off in a distant field of their minds, stands a tree. A most sacred tree that becomes their shelter, their home, their place of dreaming, where love is more than just a dream or a possibility, love is their only reality. They know that there will always be a tomorrow and they will meet at the tree once again, but the time in between seems like an eternity. Tormented by the distance that keeps them apart. The time they have each night beneath their tree, is all that they can think about throughout the day. Time slowly tics by and the longing inside them grows. As the sun fades away and is replaced by the moon, they eagerly close their eyes and make their way to the tree.
From the mists they appear side by side, reaching out to each other, they touch and the dream becomes real. She feels him as he pulls her close, his hands reaching around her back, pulling her into his embrace. Her lips touch his with a kiss so sweet and meaningful. Intoxicated by each other, breathing in each other’s essence, melting into one another. Their movements so fluid, that someone peeping into their dream might not realize that there are two souls. Beneath that tree, they spend the entire night wrapped around each other’s mind, body and soul. Looking into each other’s eyes as though it were the first and last time. Holding on so tightly to one another as if they know their time is limited. It doesn’t matter how long they have in this sacred place of dreaming … all that matters is that they are there for the moment and they shall not waste a single second of it.
To be continued….
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Daddy’s little girl… all grown up
Eyes once filled with admiration and love
Now she sees the person before her…
and whispers to herself, he’s just a man
No hide-n-seek or pony rides
Just a bunch of tall tales and lies
She knows now, He’s just a man
No super powers or hero’s cape
The memories of a childhood lost, she can’t escape
No matter his plea, she sees him as he is… he’s just a man

Our experiences in life are our stories. They happened, they are real but now they are nothing more than thoughts. We hold dear the stories that enlighten us, that make us feel good, we remember the lessons learned from the teaching stories… but we let go of the story itself. We are not the story. We are the spirit that had the experience but we are not the story itself. Whatever it is you need to let go of… let it go… it is nothing more than a thought to you now…. it is not what is happening right here, right now… it’s in the past which makes it nothing more than a story… a thought.
Many Blessings,

When faced with options and feeling like you are being pulled in many directions… Learn to trust your inner knowing. Your heart and soul already know what to do and where to go.. you just have to learn to listen to it much more carefully. In this video I give an exercise to help you figure which option your Spirit chooses.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
We all have within us the ability to do more than what we “believe” we can do. We just have to let go of the thoughts that hold us back. There is nothing stopping us but ourselves.

This past weekend I spent two days at Sweet Surrender Crystal Mine digging in the dirt and mud for quartz crystals! It’s an amazing experience and such great energy from the land there. Connecting with the Earth and nature in a way that gives you a sense of being fully recharged… I’ll post another video of all my finds as soon as they are done being cleaned in the muriatic acid they are sitting in at the moment.. it usually takes about a week or two to get all the iron ore off them.

If we want to change our own damaging behaviors in life… we must be our own guardian and constantly and consistently be watching ourselves .. be aware of those behaviors that are not good for us and make effort to change them.

Uggggggg so this morning I talk about what I do wrong when it comes to relationships. Enjoy!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Often, we allow the people and things to remain on our path that shouldn’t be for far too long. We have to be open and honest with ourselves and what fits us and what doesn’t. Allowing those things that don’t fit us to remain on our path does damage to everyone involved.. they cannot progress and neither can you. Without being harsh or cruel you can let go of those things and people that don’t truly belong with you. When you are able to do that…. everyone grows in the right direction.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
You are never too old to dream and to see your dreams come true. Dreams take work, they take believing in them, they take energy to manifest them and they take work… the necessary steps to making them happen. Aren’t your dreams worth believing in? Aren’t they worth the effort? Aren’t you worth the effort? Keep dreaming and keep believing in those dreams!

Searching for a blog topic today… I looked back at things I have written in the past. I quickly realized.. I don’t live there anymore, why am I even looking there? So, I spoke about what is in my heart right now and what I plan to do about it. Enjoy!

Life brings us many ups and downs and all arounds… good moments and bad. My love for life remains strong. I choose what my life is like and I choose a happy, magical life filled with love. There will be more obstacles and hardships, but none of that matters … I already know that I have it within me to weather the storm. What matters are the moments of magic, love and happiness.. I’ll not let them slip past me again.. I am reaching out and taking hold of every moment life sends my way. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, we must live each day as though it were our last.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
In life we will get knocked off our path many times… the important thing is that we get up, dust ourselves off and get back on that road. Spirit knocks us off the path when we are going in the wrong direction… it is important to recognize that so that when we get back on that road we don’t keep going the wrong way!!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
When fear guides us we make all the wrong choices and decisions. If we are filled with fear, we should take a step back and ask ourselves: what am I afraid of, why am I afraid and is this fear legitimate?
Once you have looked at what’s going on and figured out where your feelings are coming from, you then make a better choice.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Life is busy and can be chaotic… we get an up close point of view when we really need to be able to step back from time to time so that we can see the bigger picture. We should not live in the past but don’t forget the lessons it taught us…. we should not live too far in the future that it takes us away from living in the moment. We have to find a balance between then, now and tomorrow. It takes putting distance between you and your situation to see the bigger picture. Take the time when things start feeling out of place to do that. Step back and really look at what’s going on… in the physical form and mental form.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Life is hard and sometimes we feel like we just want to quit.. just check out so that we don’t have to deal with all these life lessons and obstacles that keep getting thrown at us. There are good things in life… things worth fighting for, things worth staying for. Don’t give up on life, on yourself and don’t give up the fight… when better times come around, you want to be able to enjoy them. Don’t give up. Better days are just around the corner.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
We all do this.. we all fight that inner knowing inside ourselves. We argue with what we already know. We allow doubt and fear to build in our minds and second guess ourselves and when we do that we make foolish decisions. We mess our own lives up because of a self planted fear or doubt. Why are we so afraid to trust ourselves?? Let’s make a new pact this year and stopping fighting with what we already know.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
I have always been considered the weird one by most people…. but that’s perfectly fine by me. I enjoy being weird, I am most happy being myself. In this video I tell you a life changing story about why I don’t mind at all not being like everyone else. For all of you fellow weirdos out there.. you are not alone… there are others like you and when you meet them you will know that it’s perfectly okay to be who you are.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Those ah ha moments in our life where we see more clearly patterns in our past. Trace your own timeline back and look at all the things that went wrong, why and how they went wrong.. take a look at those events with a more clear vision and perspective. The patterns are there.. they may be hidden but when you can manage to “see” them differently… the patterns reveal themselves. When we have found that moment … that thing that was once hidden from us, that is when we are then allowed to heal and to grow and to move forward.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Tonight I speak a moment about a personal breakthrough.. one of those ah ha moments where you see clearly that you have been doing something without realizing you were doing it.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
The storms that show up in our lives can’t all be someone else’s fault… at some point you have to lay claim to your half of the storm. We do not heal and we do not grow from pointing the finger at others but when we look back and see ourselves and what we did wrong. Owning your part in the battle can be difficult … but also freeing. In this video I point the finger back at myself and claim my own part in the storms of the past.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Today I talk a little about connecting to another on a level deeper than most even understand. Connecting with someone and knowing that person so deeply that you can feel them when you are miles away, you know what stirs inside them without being told… without even seeing them face to face.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Obstacles are opportunities for growth and healing. Do we allow them to block us from moving forward or do we use them as opportunities for growth and healing? Being able to stand on your path and look back at what you have overcome is a great feeling. Life will throw us many obstacles… forge past them and take that lesson and learn from it and allow yourself to heal once you have made it past. Look at what you have already survived… you can do this.

Life brings us many lessons, throws at us many obstacles and as a result we have to weather many storms. Some days we just want to give up, not knowing how much more we can endure. What keeps me going is that hope and belief that something wonderful could just be around the corner. I don’t want to just survive life.. I want to enjoy it. I want to be here when that something wonderful does happen. I want to dance in the sunlight when the clouds finally part.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
We were all born knowing who we are. Over the process of growing up, we have all of these outside influences telling us who we are and who we should be… parents, family, friends and teachers all telling us who we are and what we should be doing. We loose our own truth. Years later we get to a point in our lives where we find ourselves wondering what happened. We ask ourselves… How did I get here? Who am I? What do I want? It’s confusing to say the least. We then have to go through the painful process of figuring it all out again. Find the things that light your soul on fire and you will find your true self.

Dancing in the Rain – Relationships – Relationships work when you focus on what’s important… Fill your life with love and compassion for each other instead of THINGS for each other. The truest test of love is sticking with someone when times are hard, loving someone when they are at their worst. It’s easy to stand by someone when times are easy… staying when it gets bad is what counts the most. Live, Laugh, Love and build those things together and forget what what society “thinks” is important. A life worth living is not forged with monetary gifts but with gifts from each others heart and soul. Remember these things and build a life on LOVE.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
I am a body of light…. swaying to and fro with the vibrations of the universe
My soul sings in harmony with another… it always has and always will
Connected by a mere strand of web, stretching from one place to another.
Each with a light of our own, a beacon for one another flashing into the space between us
Two clocks ticking away, in unison but distance holds us apart
Tic Toc, Tic Toc…. When the time is right … all will see a phenomenal light
Two souls coming together, two hearts beating the same rhythm
Two souls sharing the same light.
Forever changing the echos in the night.
Raventalker
Many people will try and drag you down and make you feel less than. Mostly this is done so that they can feel better about themselves. Don’t allow those people to stay in your life. Their negativity toward you is not about you, it is about them. You have the power to do great things. You can transform your life. You are not less than anyone else, so don’t allow others to make you feel that way.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Life is a fairytale. No fairytale begins on a good note. Tragedy, sadness and despair is how they usually begin but the magic is in making your way past all those obstacles to finally find yourself living the “Happily Ever After”. We each hold the pen to our own stories, but many forget that. I have forgotten that particular statement myself many times over. Life happens, we get caught up in the survival of it all, but at the end of the day, we do have choices although they may be hidden from us. We have the power to change our story at any moment, don’t forget that. I’m doing my best to remind myself as well of the same thing. We cannot go back and erase what has already happened but we do have control over what hasn’t. Some things will not be foreseen and we may have to add some extra pages here and there til we can work around obstacles that pop up… but how you handle those obstacles is completely within your own writing of your story.
It won’t always be the ideal castles and dreams but it will be YOUR castles and dreams.
Many Blessings,

In the past, I allowed people to lie to me. Knowing their words were lies I accepted this in my life. I wanted to give each person the benefit of doubt, I looked past the little lies and thought more about why they lied. Was it that they were scared, had low self esteem, or maybe they felt less than for some reason and felt they needed the lie. Whatever the reason, it wasn’t needed. My thoughts, “Maybe one day they will not feel the need to lie to me anymore”. That never seems to work out that way, The truth may be hard but it doesn’t break trust. Without trust, you have NOTHING. This video is me breaking my own patters and behaviors of allowing things in my life that aren’t good for me. I’m watching out for myself way more these days and taking a lot less crap. I deserve better. If better never shows up, well at least I’m not living in a world of lies.
Many Blessings,

Today’s message from Spirit … YOU ARE ENOUGH
There is no need to change for anyone except yourself. If you are with someone that makes you feel less than, like you aren’t enough, then they are not the person you need in your life. Find someone who already knows your value and appreciates you for who you are right now, just as you are.
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
When you find it hard to follow your own advice. Many times over I have given the advice to others to live their life in a way that makes them happy…. only I have not followed my own advice. I spent my years making others happy … putting my own happiness to the side. As a friend, daughter, wife, mother… I thought that is what I was suppose to do. Times are changing. It’s time to start living for me.
Many Blessings,
Raventalker
Don’t put your happiness in the hands of those who don’t deserve it.. those who don’t truly love and appreciate your worth. Remember that YOU have the power to choose how you feel.
