I come from a Heinz 57 of Irish, English and Cherokee descendants. I consider myself not of one religion, faith or path but of all. I am simply a messenger … my goal here is to help as many as I can with the stories I have lived and those yet to come. I will share with you my journey, my walk on this path. I don’t put myself in one category or belief … I feel that I am of many ways… from many paths .. I feel that I am more of a universal soul who has experienced many paths .. and have found truth in many forms.

Beneath the October Moon

IMG_6779

Beneath the October Moon.. what’s that I see
Strange and exciting things have come to be

Once unseen, now visible to the eye
Witches, goblins and spirits.. Oh My!

What are they doing, why are they there
Have they come to cause a fright… a great big scare!

Up on their broomsticks and soaring through the sky
The year is now turning and the leaves are beginning to die.

Red, yellow, brown and gold
The days grow short as the nights grow cold

Be thankful now for the harvest reaped
Who’s that stepping through the veil to take a peek?

Those once here but now passed away
Have come over to say hello as they go on their way

Candles are lit for a safe passage through
Don’t worry , only silly ghosts say BOO!

From here to the other side they shall pass
The year has flown by way too fast

Hug the ones you love and hold them tight
Keep them in your prayers and thoughts each and every night

Life is short, you never know when it may end
Many blessings for peace and love I now send.

From my heart these words now pass from me to you
May Blessings fall upon you and all your wishes and dreams come true!

Raventalker

Let Me Be Forever Yours

Let me be your rain….
I’ll wash away your worries, your fear, your pain.

Let me be your sun…
I’ll light your days and warm you as the nights grow cold.

Let me be the wind…
And I’ll carry your wishes to heaven so that they may be heard.

Let me be your moon..
I’ll be the light in your darkest hours.

Let me be a soft whisper…..
So that my words may linger in your ears.

Let me be your eyes…
So that I may be in your every vision.

Let me be your hands…
For I willl always be within your reach.

Let me be your heart…
So that I will know the source of your love.

Let me be forever yours…
So that I may spend the rest of my days loving you.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

The Fool

cute birdThe fool is the pilgrim, the unwitting wise one. The fool represents our unconscious self, naïve, simple, gullible. To begin the journey toward enlightenment and integration of self, one must first become the fool, seeing things from the outside, detached, childlike and trusting. (If we were fully aware of just how difficult the seeker’s path can be, we might choose not to quest at all!)

So true that last statement is .. some things are just not meant for us to know.. otherwise looking back in your life how many times would you have chosen not to do something .. and then there would be a lesson left unlearned.. growth would have been delayed.. We need to learn to let go of the control we don’t have but crave.. we have this thing about “needing to know” … so much of our life we don’t truly enjoy because of that “needing to know” .. we get obsessed with wanting and needing to know every step and every phase that is or might be coming our way .. we end up trying to control our future and forget to live in the here and now.. so much time is then wasted and not lived and certainly not enjoyed.. and that is a true shame ..

Many Blessings,

Spirit is Speaking…..

>I feel Spirit speaking to me today and so I have to relay the message/messages…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

BE YOURSELF!!!!! Not sure who this is for but Spirit is screaming as though this person is having a difficult time just relaxing and maybe even being comfortable and open with their own self.. BE YOU … Stop worrying about what others will think … You will never find happiness hiding who you are .. don’t be afraid .. just relax and allow yourself to BE YOU.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I can’t let go of this issue I’m picking up with someone and a garden … I really don’t know what the message is but I keep seeing the garden and the feeling I get is frustration… or something similar ….. and even some sort of sadness or disappointment

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hold the bar… again no clue what that is suppose to mean … I just get “Hold the bar”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you need help.. ask for it … don’t trouble yourself or worry yourself to the point of making yourself sick when you are in need of help from someone else … seek out the help and your troubles will fade away .. the problem will be resolved… you just have to stop worrying about it and ask for the help.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Those wings … yes … you know the ones I’m talking about .. those are indeed the wings of angels.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The door is open… you just have to step through it now. Don’t let your fears stop you from walking forward.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why do you question so much what is put in front of you? When Spirit speaks.. listen .. don’t question. The signs have been put before you again and again .. stop convincing yourself that you are wrong and that they are not what you feel they are… TRUST

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The dog is barking so much because he is trying to warn someone ….. once you understand the warning .. the dog will stop barking

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do you have your ducks in a row?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The first draft is done.. there will be a few more so don’t get frustrated … it will all come together when the time is right … just don’t give up … you are on the right path .. going in the right direction.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I hope these messages make sense to those who needed to see them today

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

The Best Me I Can Be

projectcollageI have always been one to test myself… taking on big tasks and projects.. sometimes I win … sometimes I fail.. but it doesn’t stop me from trying. I get an idea in my head and I get excited about the possibilities of bringing that idea into reality.

Through the years I have had people ask “how do you do it all?” and I have had people say to me that I make them feel bad and comments suggesting I always have to out-do someone …. so I wanted to take a moment to answer these questions.

How do I do it all?

If it is a task or project you love and believe in .. you find the time… you may be tired, you may be busy, you may have a thousand other things to do .. you may want to just go home and curl up on the sofa and veg .. but … if it is something you are passionate about … the time is there… the drive and the will to get it done is there …. instead of not doing .. you just do. That is me .. so I have a lot of passions..lol.. I simply get excited about seeing things go from an idea in my head to reality and I do what I can to make that happen. Oh there are days when I just want to do nothing at all.. but then I sit there and I think of all the possibilities and more often than not .. I get back off the sofa and I get busy and before you know it .. you have finished projects galore!

Why do you always have to out-do (insert name of random person here)?

The only person I ever try to out do is myself…. I really don’t think about what others are or are not doing .. I just think about what I am doing and what I’m not doing. Its exciting to me to go beyond what I think my limits are. There is a great reward in seeing that you can do more than what you thought you could do. I really have no limits … I don’t restrict myself from doing. If I get an idea in my head and then do nothing about it .. I disappoint myself…. and oh how I hate doing that … then it becomes something I start dwelling on .. saying to myself “I could have”… At the end of my days I like to go to bed with the knowledge of “I did all I could do today” instead of “I could have done this .. I could have done that .. I wanted to do this .. I wanted to do that .. but but but ..” So you see it’s not about anyone else here but me …lol….

You make me feel bad for not doing as much.. or I can’t keep up with you…

Like I said previously .. I don’t set out to make anyone else feel bad … and you shouldn’t. We are all different people. I do what I can .. and you do what you can. I’m just insane….lol.. I don’t know how to rest and that’s not always a good thing .. like today for instance.. I am so tired I can hardly hold my eyes open.. I have been thinking all morning about when I get home I want to take a nap and catch up on some much needed rest … and then I have all these ideas in my head .. the ribbon shirt I have not finished and paintings I would like to start and oh yeah I have a new stained glass piece I want to start….lol.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You just don’t know how often I want to just shut off that “I must do everything now” voice in my head … but that is not me. So I exhaust myself .. I push myself … I wear myself out and I do what I do.

I hope this has brought some understanding .. {{{hugs}}} to everyone

Be YOU .. don’t worry about what everyone else can do.. is doing or isn’t doing and just be YOU. Be the Best You .. You Can Be!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Magical Moon

IMG_6779

A little something I jotted down last night before going to bed…

Magical Moon

Magical Moon with a light so bright
Watch over us all and protect us through the night

When you’re large and full of grace
Even when we can barely see your face

We know you are always there
Your magic fills the air

Waning and waxing as the nights come and go
Feeling that mystic tug and tow

Abundance and blessings you give without take
Please accept these prayers we now make

Our words we send to thee with love
We cast them to you and the heavens above

Magical Moon in the night
Thank you for the dreams, the visions, the second sight

A blessing at the end of each day
You light the darkness in a loving and magical way

Carrying with you the secrets from ancient times gone by
Your presence is felt beneath the starry night sky

Magical Moon thank you for your love, thank you for your light
Thank you for watching over us every single night.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Today’s Feast

>From a Cherokee Feast of Days – Volume II

September 20th

Blues are not measles that run their course. They are leeches that hang on as long as there is a tear, a groan or a down attitude. But nothing is as subtle or determined to get you by the throat, and it is well worth the effort to get rid of them at first sign.

But how? Stop the mind from falling into uselessness that is a quagmire. When there seems to be no point to anything.. discouragement sets in. But it is an emotion that rocks the soul the way the wind shakes a boat. Let the weak say, “I am strong.” Speak to yourself in very certain terms that this is the end of blues and the beginning of colorful thoughts and delightful days. Then put your hands to work and give your mind a rest.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

We All Fall Down

>In this life we live … mistakes will be made … we will fall.. we will get back up again and again… There will be highs .. there will be lows … ups and downs and all arounds…..

Don’t let your mistakes define you … let them be the building blocks of your growth.

We need to find that place within ourselves to let go and forgive past mistakes.. so that we are able to move forward. Dwelling over the past does not change the past or make any easier to let go.

Through the more trying times we will find our strengths… figure out what we don’t want …. and learn more and more about our truest self.

This life right here … right now.. is all that we have .. so we must live right here .. right now..

Allow yourself to experience every part of this life.. the good and the bad.. the calm and the chaos… the laughter and the tears ..

Remember your daily blessings and walk your path with love and honor..

And…. Don’t forget to be YOU.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

When worry occupies the mind …

>When worry occupies the mind … be sure and cast away those mindful troubles before going to bed.Step outside and cast your worries away for the night so that you can get a peaceful nights sleep.

Worry through the night can cause illness, headaches and along night of tossing and turning

There are many way to let go of those worries.. or should say many techniques..A few are: Before bed write them down and burn the paper before going to bed… Designate a worry stone.. at night before bed .. place your worries on the stone and place it outside on the ground so that the Earth can take those worries away

Prayer always helps. Cast your worries to the heavens before bed

A shower or bath before bed is helpful to wash away the worries and also good at helping you relax …

These are just a few ways to help release worries from your mind before bed…

Many Blessings and Sweet Dreams,
Raventalker

Remember…

>Remember who you wanted to be when you were young?

Remember the dreams of growing up?

Remember ………

It is time to find yourself again …. through the chore of growing up and living you have forgotten or lost who you are …

It is time to remember ….

It is never too late to be who you are.. Walk with love in the direction of your dreams and keep with you always that inner child who wishes on stars, pinky swears and believes in wishes coming true.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

No BUTS About It

>Just sayin….

If in anything in your life there is a “but” then you may want to give it a bit more consideration .. rethink it… or take another route.

Today’s Feast

>From A Cherokee Feast of Days – Volume II

September 9

There are ways you have not dreamed existed – until you can see beyond your own limited vision to possibilities of real substance. It takes a certain mindset to stop believing in shortages and start seeing good things happen.

Some people believe they will never see their dreams fulfilled – they accept it. And that acceptance solidifies such beliefs into reality. You have developed a consciousness of ga lu lo gi, the Cherokee’s expression of lack.

In the words of the prophet, “Is anything too hard for God?”

A message in the Raven’s Call

>The Summer breeze has cooled and signs of Autumn fill the air
Spirit has brought me a message I must share

On the night when the moon was new
Spirit brings love and blessings for me and you

The days grow shorter and the nights ever so long
Listen close and you shall hear your soul sing its song

The answers you seek are not so hard to find
It all becomes clear when you quiet the mind

It doesn’t matter where we are along our path, our own sacred road
It only matters our walk along the way, this is what I’m told

Connect to each other we are
No matter how near, no matter how far

Spirit whispers in my ear
You are not alone, there is nothing to fear

You have what it takes to make it to the end
Open your arms and feel Creator’s embrace upon the sacred wind

Don’t hold back, be who you were born to be
The mysteries shall unfold and you will see

The time is coming, an awaking is near
Spirit is speaking… can you hear

Through you, a stranger, a friend or even me
The messages are there and clear as can be

You must open your eyes and listen with your heart
In this walk we share, we all play a very important part

Not sure of your particular role?
Don’t worry, it’s all there written in your soul

The messages may come by way of wolf, bear, tiger or even by way of a raven’s wing
No matter from which it comes, the message is from a place of love that we bring

Now close your eyes and count to three
I send blessings to the ancestors and thee

With honor and love .. thank Creator for this time
Allowing me to share a message with you in rhyme

To the grandmothers and grandfathers of all the nations, I pray and ask for blessings for us all
And thank them for hearing this raven’s call.

with love and honor, aho

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Hearing the Call….

>
Hearing The Call

To some the call is loud and clear and to some not so loud and not so clear …

There are those of you who know who you are and what guides you … and then
there are those unsure..

To find your helpers, your guides.. sit quietly and begin to listen .. step away from yourself and look at the world around you. Look behind you at the foot prints you have left in the dirt .. what other foot prints or tracks do you see?
And don’t worry if you see more than 1 or 2 other sets … for we are all ever changing .. often we have more than just one totem guide or helper.. sometimes you may have a mix of guides and helpers and sometimes only 1 or 2

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Our Song

IMG_0842There is a song inside each of us. We must let that song be heard, not necessarily by others, but more importantly heard by ourselves.

We need to get in touch with our own song ….. know the words.. feel them and acknowledge their existence.

Do not suppress them any longer… do not be afraid of who you are … embrace your own truths.

You cannot move forward if you do not embrace all that is you.

To know yourself is a moment of awakening and the answers you have been seeking will suddenly be right there before you.

Your path will be far more clear.

If you wish to hide from your own self, then growth cannot be.  Progress will not happen , answers will not come.

Don’t be afraid of who you are… there is nothing to fear.

Sing your song .. hear your own words… be you.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Dip your toes in a mountain stream … follow a path less traveled and take in all the natural wonders around you.

Enjoy Creators gift to us all… and let your heart be filled with love.

Many Blessings,

Today’s Feast – Sept 2

>
From A Cherokee Feast of Days – Volume II

Picked up my book just now .. read today’s feast and well once you read it .. you’ll understand why I just had to post it

September 2

Everything has a reason. We may have to wait a while to understand, because much of what we see is a puzzle with all its pieces strewn about. The whole thing is there but in our present condition. we do not comprehend the first thing about fitting the right pieces together. It is going to take some time.

Maybe our dullness is necessary to keep us from making foolish moves. It is better to stand and let life creep back in and our blood to flow normally before we begin again. We still do not know the reason for something but we handle the time better and we recover our senses more quickly.

Many Blessings,

Understand?

>
Understanding begins at home.

Before we can have understanding for others we must begin by understanding ourselves.

Spirit urges me to ask a few questions:

Do you understand yourself?

Do you understand your decisions?

Do you understand your needs/wants?

Do you understand where you are and why?

Do you understand your mistakes?

Do you understand your wins?

Do you understand your progress?

Do you understand ?

Do you understand your own pain?

Do you understand your own happiness?

and most of all do you have “understanding” for yourself?

In order for us to truly learn and grow we must understand the ins and outs of ourselves, what we do, where we go, the why, what, who, when and where of ourselves…. we must not only understand these things but have “understanding” as well..

There will be some that do not understand today’s message … and that’s ok .. let it go and don’t worry about it … there will be those that completely “UNDERSTAND” and those are the ones who are now thinking over the message and are smiling.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Fall Home Tips

Fall Home Energy Savings Tips

Fall Home Energy Savings Tips: Preparing for the Winter

Whether you like it or not and whether you come prepared or not, winter is coming. So better not sit on your couch and wait for it to come like a dooms day, move and be prepared!

Winter means one thing: cold air. But for those who are conscious enough to notice, winter means larger electric bills. Yes, it is true. Aside from summer, winter is the season of the year where your electric bills skyrocket to digits that cost you financial burden. Why? Because we need to warm our home. Our home should have the right temperature to give us comfort. And the modern way to do it is by turning on our heating system. This consumes the biggest portion of our electric bill. Fortunately, we have the whole Fall to prepare for it. And to prepare for it means that we must have the right tool and proper information on how to save during the coming season.

The fireplace – Getting our fireplace ready will certainly yield to better savings; and fall is the best time to clean and repair our fireplace. Make sure that the dumper is tightly sealed when not using them. A small space would let the cold air rush in and send the warm air out. If you were using electric heating system, an opening on the fireplace would mean bigger work to maintain the place warm. Let professional contractor to do the proper maintenance. They are certainly more capable in securing your fireplace.

When you decide to use the fireplace, you can turn down your heater. This will save you as much as 8% on heating cost.

The furnace – The furnace will work extra effort if the filter is full of dirt. This will equate to energy waste since the furnace will consume more power against the service it brings. To avoid this, make sure that your filter is clean. The owner’s manual will tell you how to clean the filter. A clean filter will let you breath clean air around your house. A clean filter saves you 5% on heating cost.

The duct – Small leaks on duct will certainly result to lost heat so make sure that this is regularly checked. Usually ducts are located on unheated places. This is another reason why heat is lost. Insulate the ducts by wrapping it with R-6 or higher fiberglass. Never use cloth-backed tapes. You can also wrap them with UL-approved metallic or plastic tapes and mastic sealants. The note that leaking ducts work 30% more on your heating system so make sure they are sealed and secured.

The solar heat – You need not have solar panels on your roof to use the sun as the source of heat. All you have to do is use open your drapes during the day to warn your room without using electricity. Just close them at night to keep the warn air inside. Reduction of the use of heating system during the day will let you cut as much as 10% on your electric consumption

The openings – Openings on your doors, windows, joints and sills will let the cold air outside to go in and the warm air from the inside to go out. Make sure that these openings are sealed with either sealant or weatherstripping. It will help reduce the work of the heating system immensely.

The thermostat – A programmable thermostat or a centralized heating system will let you save on the heating cost. The programmable thermostat will let you set your desired room temperature on a specific period of the day. This is much useful if you are leaving your home or are going to sleep overnight. The centralized heating system on the other hand will give you the ultimate control on the temperature of every room. These 2 will let you decide how warm a room could be. One interesting thing to note is that a centigrade lower on your heating system will let your save uas much as 5% on your heating cost.

The water heater – Households can set the heating system between 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. This range is ideal on both mobile homes and regular homes.

No Time To Sleep

>
Feeling like I’m in a bit of a trance
The visions are coming … they wanna dance

Skipping and hopping all through my head
As I lay .. tossing and turning in my bed

The air… soon to turn from warm to cold
I’ve got stories … yet to be told

More chapters to add to my book
I close my eyes for a peek.. a quick little look

What’s that whisper Spirit speaks in my ear
There’s still work to be done.. get ready my dear

Oh great, there’s lots more to do
Sorry, it’s a secret and I can’t yet tell you

Looks like I’ll be working beneath both the moon and the sun
I’ll be working til it all gets done

No time to rest
I have to do my very best

Staying on top of my game
Afterall .. Raventalker IS my name!

These visions that come in the night
They show me the way, the path thats right

Obstacles to overcome and hurdles to leap
They show me the way, while I sleep

Like the Autumn breeze
The visions dance through my head with ease

Here they come.. I’ve got to go
It’s time for a another late night show!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

What makes you happy?

>
Are you happy? What makes you happy?

What makes you smile?

What makes your heart skip a beat?What is it that makes you glow from the inside out?

What makes you giggle from within?

Personally I’m not complicated.. its all the small things in life that make me happy…

My husbands touch, a breeze, the moon, fireflies, my daughters excitment over life, good friends, a job well done, completed projects, good food, a nice cold drink on a hot day, a warm cup of tea, sleeping in, staying up all night, cuddles, the dog, soft things, flowers, birds, seeing the deer in the field, willow trees, butterflies, kisses, hugs, sunsets, sunrises, dreams, visions, the warm spot in the bed, the cold side of the pillow, nature, fluffy clouds… the list could go on forever!!! Just thought I’d give you a bit of food for thought today …

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Working it all out

>

You cannot rely solely on the counsel of others … you have to take part in making your own decisions and take responsibility for the choices you make.

Seeking wise counsel is not a bad thing …. and often times it can help you sort out the details of a situation and give you a new perspective on whatever it is you are facing … but …….

At the end of the day … it is YOU that has to work it out on your own..You have to take the steps needed to complete the task and make the final decisions .. and it is you that has to live with the choices you have made.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Today’s Feast

>
From The Cherokee Feast of Days – Volume II

August 24th

Never let another tell you what to think and what to do. Start now to think things through and get ready for what you want. You have to be prosperous in your thinking long before you see the money. Your health must have the support of your mind and words before it can keep its good condition. You have to be lovable before anyone can love you.

We think “instant” when it takes time. Remember the flower – first the bud and then the bloom, and all the steps in between. What do you want? See it now in your mind, and keep seeing it so clearly that it becomes a treasure map. Enjoy looking at it and stop questioning whether it is going to work. It is your map – give it your attention.

Many Blessings,

Raventalker

Trust


TRUST TRUST TRUST

One of the biggest obstacles we are challenged with overcoming in life is trusting ourselves… trusting that inner voice .. and that gut instinct.

Although we will be overwhelmed with a particular feeling about a person, event, situation, etc .. we will question ourselves and question whether we are making the correct decision.. and quite often we will take the opposite of what we feel to be true.

We allow fearful thoughts to take over and push away that “knowing” we already possess.

I’m sure most of you can think back and find that those times you pushed away your instinct .. that ‘knowing” and took an alternate route .. and then found yourself quickly thinking .. DANG .. I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO MYSELF!

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN … lol becomes a common phase that runs through our minds ..

How do you begin to trust yourself.. that inner knowing inside?

Well, that’s the hard part … you have to just do it as each situation presents itself ..

You will have to determine which thoughts are just fear talking and which are that true inner knowing inside you.

Good luck and many blessings,
Raventalker

If I could share….

WP_20140715_013
If I could share with you a bit of me I would ask you to take hold my hand and let go

Let go, not of my hand .. but of all else .. so that you can experience what’s inside me

Holding my hand you would know my pain and that I hurt just as you, when things go wrong

You would know my love and how its always growing

You would know my tears an what gets them flowing

You would know my passion and the roar of its fire

You would know my song without hearing it sung outloud

You would know my heart and what makes it melt

You would know my touch.. both gentle and strong

You would know my faith and the strength of my will

You would know me just by holding my hand and standing still

You would know my faults, my failures and my sad regrets

You would know me and all my secrets

You would know not just what you see but those things that don’t always show

You would know me … just by holding my hand and letting go.

Many Blessings,

Message From Spirit

>
Today Spirit guides me to ask this one question…

The steps you are taking …. are they taking you down the path that is yours or someone elses?

Do we follow our own hearts and dreams or do we follow that of others? …

We cannot make everyone happy but we can do what is needed to make ourselves happy …

By trying to live your life by the terms of another we do not live for ourselves and in the end neither will be happy..

For they will find that they were the only ones who could fulfill their own happiness and the same is said for each of us.

Many Blessings,

Things To Do

>
Today’s wisdom …..

Stop making those “To-Do Lists” and just DO!

Why sit and make a list of things to do … all you accomplish is a collection of lists .. get out and do those things instead!

You will feel so much more accomplished and full if instead of sitting at home making a list .. you actually got up and did the things you wish to do.

You already know what it is that you want to do .. do you really need a written list to remind you?

So come on … get up .. let’s go get something done today!!

Many Blessings,

Fly Right

If you’re not going to fly right then don’t be so surpised when suddenly you find yourself crashing into something.

The Rainbow


Ok with so much stuff about rainbows today I must .. yes I must blog about it …lol

So have you ever thought about what it is about rainbows that make people stop in their tracks and take notice…. how it makes them feel happy and warm inside and how no matter what is going on in your life.. when you see a rainbow .. you feel hope… have you ever wondered about that?

I bet you thought it was just the many colors in the rainbow and how beautiful it is that did all that…. I know for the longest I thought the very same thing .. it is a natural wonder and beautiful to boot ..

Then one day I asked .. I said silently to myself and the Creator .. What is it about the rainbow?

He said to me.. Silly girl, don’t you see.. it is the bridge to heaven.

And with that one whisper I understood .. enough said.

So if rainbows made you smile before… now you can smile inside and out brighter than before.. because you have the same knowing as I.

Many Blessings,

Positive Infection

>
That’s right “Infection” ….

Today I want to speak about spreading positivity …

Everyone seems to be able to spread the flu and other viruses so easily .. I thought .. ok lets see how far we can spread some positivity..

My challenge for everyone is for the next 30 days … as you go through your day and come across that one negative, nasty, bitter, angry person that everyone runs into .. do something or say something or maybe even just smile and if nothing else give them a silent blessing in a positive way in hopes to spead positivity.

Lets see how much we can change our own worlds by consciously setting out to spread positive thoughts and feelings to htose in need.

Don’t just spread them to the negative folks out there .. be sure and lend some extra to the already positive as well.. for there is never tooo much ..lol

Many Blessings,

The Dragonfly

>

Well yesterday I had someone ask me to do a painting of a dragonfly so I thought today’s wisdom would be about what this totems brings to ones life.

I have always loved dragonflies so this was an easy one to paint … and this summer I have seen dragonflies everywhere … more so than years past .. they seem to be all over the place for me this year.

Dragonfly Totem

When a dragonfly lands on you, you will hear excellent news from someone far away from home.

Dragonfly is the power of light. The dragonfly inhabits two realms: air and waterand the influence of both these elements will be felt by Dragonfly people. They will be emotional and passionate during their early years (the influence of water)and more balanced with greater mental clarity and control in as they mature (the influence of air).

Dragonfly is the essence of the winds of change, the messages of wisdom and enlightenment; and the communication from the elemental world. Dragonfly medicine beckons you to seek out the parts of your habits which need changing. Call on Dragonfly to guide you through the mists of illusion to the pathway of transformation. Dragonfly brings the light and color of transformation into your life.

Many Blessings,

Bibbity Bobbity Booo

IMG_5859 Today’s wisdom is inspired by a quote I came across.

“If you don’t have what’s someone else has, you’re Probably not doing what they are doing”

We cannot stand in envy all our lives of what others have .. instead we must make our own way … we must do the work that will get us whatever it is in life we seek.. financial freedom, loving relationships, steady employment, spiritual enlightenment or whatever it is that you are looking for. We cannot stand in wait … waiting for things to just happen.. we must take action.

In this fairytale you have to be the one with the wand and you have to get busy waving it like crazy to make the magic happen!

Just sayin…..

The Promise by Ha-gue-A-Dees-Sas


Today I would like to share with you a poem by Stan Hughes aka Ha-Gue-A-Dees-Sas, from his book Medicine Seeker

The Promise

My child.. This advice you must heed.
Please never take more than you need.

Promise to do these things I say,

I’ll care for you in every way.

In Spring… I’ll make the grasses grow.

I’ll sing to call the Buffalo.
As Summer walks the waking lands,

I’ll pull the Roots with my own hands.

Red Berries sweet will paint the Fall.
The Deer will answer to my call.

When Winter comes, it will be mild.

These things I promise you, My Child.

Choose NOT to honor my request

You’ll always wander in your quest.

Seeking, not finding your true home.

Lost nomads, empty and alone.

Ha-Gue-A-Dees-Sas

You see what Stan says in his poem is that it is not enough to say you are on the right path… but to actually walk the walk of that path. You must have honor not only for mankind but for the Earth and it’s entire contents and that incudes honor for yourself as well. With everything we do we must do it with love and honor and respect. It is not enough to just say what we believe .. we must live what we believe and we must do that every day .. not just for an hour or two on Sundays and maybe Wednesday nights for an hour.

Many Blessings,

When in Doubt

>
When one is in doubt of what their next move is along their path .. ask… and then open yourself up to hear the answers that are being given…

All you have to do is ask.. and the answers will come.. but you must quiet your mind.. quiet your worries, quiet your fears, quiet your stress, quiet all that occupies the mind.. like a whisper upon the wind you will hear the answer spoken … but you must be open to whatever message comes … Spirit will not guide you wrong … and this you must trust …

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Listen…..

WP_20140530_040Today’s message from Spirit:

There are stories inside you … some you have lived .. some you have yet to live … if you can learn how to listen to the stories within yourself .. your path will become clear … you will know the way home.

Many Blessings,

Common Things

>
I was out in the yard taking photos of just random stuff …..

My daughter walked over to me and asked..”Mom, what are you doing?”

I said.. taking pictures of this …. she said.. thats JUST A WEED !

I said … but it’s a beautiful weed… she said.. you are so weird…

So today my wisdom is about finding that beauty in the common things that surround us everyday …

Being the Antenna

ravenwitchAs I was pondering what to post today for your daily dose of wisdom. I felt stuck… unsure of what to post about. And then in came to me. As soon as I let go of trying to force an idea or thought into my head… it was just there.

When trying to tune into the world around you, you must let go … don’t force it.

When we try to force ourselves into something, it rarely turns out the way we would imagine. No matter what it is, be it a thought, a project, a job, words of wisdom, or forcing yourself into “seeing” or “hearing” what normally goes unseen or unheard, it is best to let go of trying to force it and just allow it to come to you.

You must let down the walls and let go of trying so hard.  You are clogging the drain… Blocking the freeway… interrupting the signal. You have to clear the pipes and let it flow through you .. don’t try to hold on too strong or force it into being.

(keep in mind I am not speaking about what we do to manifest things into our lives .. that is a whole other blog ..lol… )

Think of yourself as an antenna … you must allow the current to flow through you to pick up the signals … antennas don’t hold on to the sound waves to send you the music … they just allow it to flow through them .

Many Blessings,

In the Darkness of the New Moon

>
In the Darkness of the New Moon

In the darkness of the New moon I fly about to see what there is to see…
There is no light and no shadows to chase me..

Flying about the void, this darkened space…
I let go my worries as the wind blows across my face..

My fears aside I look at starting something new…..
And as I look within, to myself I must stay true…..

Blessed be the tasks I begin this night …
May they be in bloom by the Moon’s next full light…

Fear not the darkness of the New Moon…
Tis the time for new beginnings and to get yourself back in tune..

As I fly away on the currents this night when the moon in new…
I begin my tasks and send out prayers and wishes of dreams coming true…

Blessing to every man, woman, child and friend….
May you find happiness, love and riches of the heart…..
And may your dreaming never ever end!

Looking for a Sign

>
This morning as I drove into work I was looking all over for my sign… the sign that Creator is watching over me .. that combination of numbers that when I see it … it is like the arms of heaven reaching down and giving me a great big hug … 444. So as I traveled all through the traffic .. making my way to work … I scanned all the license plates, signs, buildings and all that I passed hoping for the smallest glimpse of my numbers 444 … hoping for a hug to start my day.

Nearly at work I sat there at a traffic light … scanning all the plates around me and 444 just wasn’t there … I thought to myself.. please Creator.. I could use a hug to get the day started.. and as soon as the words were coming from my head … there it was … but not in the usual way 🙂 I suddenly noticed that every car that circled me (ok except for the ones behind me because obviously I could not see them LOL) had a 4 on the plate and some had a 4 somewhere on the car itself .. and I smiled .. and I thanked the Creator for the hug…

Message for today: You are not alone and your prayers do get answered.. not always the way we think they will … but they will.. and the Creator surrounds us with his love always .. we just have to open our eyes and see. To see the signs clearly in front of us we must be open to more than how we “expect” or “wish” them to be… and accept what is given with love.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Have You Heard?

butterfly

Have You Heard …

Have you heard the whispers upon the wind ?
The story of the butterfly and its romance with the breeze…
How it glides on love with beauty and ease?

Have you heard the whispers from within?
The call that pulls and steers you along your path…

Have you heard the whispers from ancient times?
The voices that ring of truth and healing…
Have you heard the whispers … do you know that feeling?

Have you heard the whispers from distant places?
That knowing … that place inside you that keeps on growing?

Have you heard the whispers of the land?
Mother Earth speaking …
And with every chance… lending a helping hand?

Have you heard the whispers in the night?
The dreams.. the visions… that come from not from the eyes but some
other kind of sight?

Have yo heard the whispers the animals speak?
Guiding you along the way ..
Can you hear them and the messages they wish to relay?

Have you heard the whispers from the great beyond?
Words.. warm and full of support from the heavens above
Have you heard the whispers and felt the love?

Have you heard the whispers today?

Have you ?

Have you heard?

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Learning about Self

owl

Tonight I will speak about learning …..

Not just learning about the many variety of things in life but learning about self…..

Stepping back to watch … to clearly see yourself and how you behave and how you react to the situation in life.

How many times do we speak when we should have stayed quiet ?

How many times have we taken a leap when we should have stood still?

How many times did we think we saw something that just wasn’t there?

Oh there are so many ways that we learn about self… these are just a few ..

The key is to learn how to find that place in yourself where you can stop.. stand still for a moment and really look .. really see clearly .. so that we may not make that leap if it is not needed.. so that we may be able to keep our words quiet until they need to be heard .. and so that we may see things as they are and not how we think they are .. how fear would like us to see them or how we wish they were…

How do we do this? you may ask…. well……………….

Take a moment in your day to reflect on what you’ve done just that day … maybe earlier that morning .. or just minutes ago..

Reflect on your thoughts as you overheard a conversation and why you felt the way you did about the conversation or for that matter how you felt overhearing it instead of hearing it directly…

Reflect on how you answered the phone or drove your car …

Reflect on your own actions and feelings and not worry so much about those of others …

This is how we learn about ourselves.. finding out why we do or feel the things we do

Now that I’ve given you some food for thought … have a good night and sweet dreams

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Wishful Thinking

WP_20140602_008Daily Wisdom by Raventalker 8-4-2010

Spirit whispers in my ear to send out a message today for all to be aware of wishful thinking .

I’m not speaking about the kind of “I wish I could win the lotto” kind of thinking.

I’m speaking about a way of thinking that turns things and situations into what you wish them to be … not what they are.

This happens often and most of us do this at some point in our lives … What Spirit asks is that you become aware of it.

Often, we see signs, it could be a word or phrase or even our lucky number or possibly even a certain animal that reminds us of something or someone particular.  Wishful thinking is when you push what you want onto that sign and make it be about what you want to happen instead of what the sign is really meant to be about.

We can want for something so badly that everything we see turns into a sign about that particular thing.  Later down the road when things don’t turn out as you thought or hoped for, you might say something like “but the signs….”

Well yes you were given signs …. But because of your “want” of something else you did not see what those signs were really for .. instead you made them out to be about what you wished them to be.

Spirit asks that you become more aware of doing this … he loves us all and wishes not for us to be left guessing at that point down the road.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker
