Today, Spirit speaks about growth and understanding. An understanding about everything. You look at life and the world with new eyes and a new sense of being. You hear the truth … finally.

Spirit Message – Change Your Mindset – Change Your World
If we continue telling ourselves that we can’t and we don’t know how, we hold ourselves back and we never realize our dreams and ambitions. We have to believe we can, believe we can do it and believe we can figure it out and walk in the direction of learning, understanding and accomplishing instead of the direction of giving ourselves permission to fail.
Many Blessings,

Feeling All Alone in a Crowded Room
I know many feel this way and I’m certainly not alone here. I’ve always been a loner from since I can remember back in my early childhood days. I’ve never been one to follow the crowd or do things to “fit in”. I follow my own set of rules that have nothing to do with anyone other than myself and the beliefs that are a part of my core being.
For the most part I am okay with being a loner and then there are times when I feel too much alone. It feels good to connect with others. To have that mutual bond for whatever reason that gives you that feeling of “someone understands me or someone gets me or even a feeling that someone cares”, that feeling is priceless.
The holidays I think are the worst at least for me they are. I am usually the one going out of my way to create for others, hoping to make their holiday a little more special … those loner feelings then fall right into place when it seems as though no one cares to make mine more special in return. It’s certainly not why I do it, I do things for others because I really want to create something special for them and make them feel good. It’s just nice if at some point I wasn’t the only one who seems to care and go out of my way for others.
How do you get past these feelings?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….
Personally I get back to creating. I find things to do that make me feel good and I do them a lot. I do my best to ignore that fact that those around me just don’t go out of their way for others and I continue doing “me”.
I wish I had more advice for others to help you cope, but I’ve got nothing. We have to learn to accept who we are and who other’s are and that we are all separate individuals. Don’t take it personally because someone else doesn’t do as much as you do or that they seem not to care as much or that they don’t do more. Continue being you and enjoy your life to its fullest.

Beneath the Samhain Moon
Halloween Night 2013
Last night I danced beneath the Samhain Moon. It wasn’t quite what one might think a dance beneath the Samhain moon might be. There were no spooky spirits flying about, no black cats and scary bats, no goblins, no ghosts. There were no mystical chants, no candles burning bright … just me dancing beneath the moon light. Let me explain a little more about my Samhain night….
There I was standing beneath the crescent moon in a misty fog when I was taken by the hand and guided down a path. I wondered where I was being guided and why but I did not hesitate and I did not fear the journey ahead of me. I felt safe and secure, so I took the strangers hand and I put one foot in front of another and I walked slowly and calmly down this path. I wasn’t sure where I was or where I was going but something inside me knew this was a path I must take. Suddenly the stranger stops and turns to me, looks me in the eyes and with a mutual understanding we began to dance. No words were ever spoken. We danced and danced, twirled and swayed to music that wasn’t even there. The scene was all dressed in shades of gray with a reflective lake just to the right of the path and the crescent moon directly above. There was a low lying mist of mystery that danced along with us as the night passed. I kept wondering what this was and what it all meant. There was such a feeling of calm and peace that surrounded us and filled my entire being. I could not have been more at ease than I was this night.
So who was this stranger in the night?
To my surprise I found that it was none other than LOVE itself. What a great feeling this was. I was granted the most magical night of all. To dance with love through the night, ending with a sweet embrace of knowing that Love is always with me. It is the seed that is my beginning and that has grown as I have grown through the years and that shall continue with me when my Earthly days are gone and together we return to the light.
UPDATE – October 2015
I guess what I should add to this story … now that it is 2 years later and makes it all the more magical… At the time of this vision, my life was completely void of love. I felt heartbroken every day. My spirit was in pain but I had hopes.. I have always had hopes that the pain would someday fade away and that love would prevail. The universe saw me suffering and made changes to my life so that I would no longer suffer that kind of pain I was making myself endure for so long. I am filled with gratitude to the Universe. Love is no longer a dream… love is inside me and with me and all around me.
Many Blessings,

The Rebuild
Inspired by a video that my dear friend Olivia Kemp posted on my Facebook wall this morning.. I feel drawn to write a bit about rebuilding. Rebuilding ourselves.
Okay Olivia .. you asked for it .. so here it goes!
Life can be harsh and people even more so. For those who have been bullied as children and adults… it’s not just school age children that play the part of the bully. The bully can be a school mate, a spouse, a parent, a boss, a co-worker or even a stranger. The damage left behind from the torment that a bully lays upon us can be life changing, devastational and ever so difficult to get over and move past.
Once we have been able to remove ourselves from this destructive person, we have to then start working on the rebuild. We must find a way to repair and rebuild ourselves and the damage that has been done to our heart, our mind and our soul. We don’t want to continue carrying around with us this pain, so we must work to rid it from our lives.
Step 1 is understanding that the things that were said were not about you .. it was always about them. The acts that were done to you was not about how good or bad you are but how they felt about themselves.
Step 2 is understanding that no matter how great you were, how much you loved the other person, the kindness that you tried to show them or anything that you did or did not do .. it wasn’t and still isn’t your place to change them or heal them. They must find the change and healing within themselves.
Step 3 is understanding that you have value. No matter what was ever done or said to you by another.. you DO have value.
Step 4 is knowing who you are and who you aren’t. ( you aren’t a doormat, you aren’t bad, you aren’t the names someone else calls you, you aren’t the pain they are fighting)
Step 5 is to continue growing, learning, living, loving and understanding yourself.
Step 6... keep walking forward.
Step 7 … smile, for you are of great value and you are a survivor!
I hope this blog finds you all well and on the way to recovery..
Many Blessings,

I know what it’s like…
Browsing through my memory bank, I found a few things.
People at work ask me all the time, “How do you know so much?”… I tell them “because I’ve been through so much .. oh and because I’m curious” … they are referring to my knowledge of navigating my way around a computer and its various software and websites … I was referring to everything else!
So what else did I find in my memory banks besides how to find random crap on Google, navigate websites, set up email signatures on webmail sites and the ever so important troubleshooting abilities that allow me to walk my co-workers through the many road blocks they encounter daily????
I found that I also know:
What’s like to fall and fall hard and what it’s like to get back up again.
I know what it’s like to hurt and how it feels when you can finally laugh again.
I know what it’s like to love with all my heart has to offer and the pain that comes when that love isn’t returned.
I know what it’s like to cry myself to sleep and yet get up the next morning with a new attitude and desire to get past whatever it was that made me so sad.
I know what it’s like to fail and then the joy it brings when I succeed.
I know what it’s like to laugh so much and so hard that you can’t breathe.
I know what it’s like to smile from the inside out.
I know what it’s like when you hit that wall and it feels like you just can’t go any further.
I know know what it’s like once you decide you can get past that wall and the moment you decide to lift your head and just keep moving forward.
I know what it’s like to feel alone.
I know what it’s like to miss someone.
I know what it’s like to want, to need, to hope, to dream, to wish with all that you can.
I know what it’s like to struggle.
I know what it’s like when someone understands and cares.
I know what it’s like to be surprised.
I know what it’s like to be disappointed.
I know what it’s like to fall behind.
I know what it’s like to get ahead.
I know what it’s like to be lost.
I know what it’s like to find yourself.. again and again and again…
I know what it’s like to see your dreams come true.
I know what it’s like realize that I know nothing at all.
I know what it’s like to know love.
I know how it feels when something comes easy.
I know how it feels to be misunderstood.
I know how it feels to be broken.
I know how it feels to be mended.
I know that life is what you make it.
I know that I still have learning to do.
I know what it’s like…….
I could keep going.. but I think you understand where I was going here…
When you think you’re behind in your knowing … browse your own memory banks and I bet you will discover as I did that you do know a thing or two and that the learning, growing and knowing never ends.
Many Blessings,

Time for Learning
It is time now to broaden your knowledge… be it on a particular subject of interest… be it a craft or hobby or be it learning more about the people around you … take the time to increase your knowing.
Take time to listen to the stories of other people’s lives.
Take time to learn more about the world around you…
Take time to understand things you thought you already understood.
There is more to know than what you think is obvious. There is the underlying truth beyond what you see. Open yourself up to understanding with all of your senses and you will find there is so much more to know. There will be an understanding that you did not even realize existed.
There will be some that understand this message fully and then there will be those who just don’t get it. Which are you?

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
