Yikes, Snakes Showed Up

For your consideration………

I really work hard at finding the right picture each day that best depicts the message. I feel it adds a lot to the blog. But I am afraid of snakes. Even though I know the message is good when they show up, I don’t like to see them. But they showed up 3 times in 3 days so they won’t go away until the message is delivered. Still, I could not put a picture of them in the blog. So I did the next best thing and searched for a picture that represents the message they are trying to highlight.

I have goosebumps as I look at this women. She reminds me of someone I love very much and I am prompted to do something I have not done before.  So while this message is for all of us, it is dedicated to Bethy.

There is a lot of mysticism around snakes but when they show up for me to look at it is always, always good. They represent  death and rebirth. They represent an awakening of not only spirit but creativity and opportunity as well. The represent healing.

Change is all around us right now….for everyone. How we look at it, how we see it makes all the difference. Where there is change, there is opportunity.

Look at the picture of Bethy again. She wears a clear protective hat while she reflects, ponders and uses her intuition. But notice the moon and stars are under her hat with her…..they are a part of her world…. supporting her. There is no rush, no clock in this picture. There is no judgement. There is patience and peace. She is comfortable with her heart and soul and now reflects on where it leads her. And look at the many many keys surrounding her telling her she is surrounded by opportunity.

Snakes eyes cloud over as they get ready to shed their skins. As they go through the shedding progress their eyes gradually clear up again. New skin, new clarity. New Creativity.

And so it is with us. We are part of a cycle of shedding the old and seeing with fresh eyes. We are being asked to look at our own hearts and souls closely with greater perception. Shed what no longer serves us and look at the opportunity that surrounds us. We are being invited to tap into our intuition and follow our instincts. We are being invited to look at everything from a new angle and with fresh creativity.

Those many keys remind all of us that we don’t have to be afraid. If we don’t like the door that key opened, we simply take what serves us, take another key and open another door. They are gifts given to each of us because we deserve them and we are loved. The HOPE is we reflect with fresh eyes and HOPE. And we try some of those keys one by one, key by key.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, hope by hope action steps anyone can take……

-Meditate. Love the heart and soul that is uniquely yours.

-Drink lots of water. It purifies you and helps bring clarity.

-Reflect on something, anything. Then make a conscious decision to look at it from the opposite direction. Hmmmm.

-Look at the picture above. What do you see? Do you see different things? More things? Those are messages uniquely for you.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-Have you ever had those unplanned days that were like jewels that just dropped into your life? That was my yesterday.

-If a dentist appointment can ever be good, mine was. Good checkup. Good sharing.

-I love my realtor. She doesn’t seem to hold judgement and understands where I am coming from.

-I love the little “portal house”. Should it become mine, I will call it “Stillwater.” We will leave it up to my angels and guides to work it out….or not.

-Ahhhh, old friends, John and Jackie, where my truest soul can just hang out. Hard to believe I have loved them for more than 35 years. Talk about being blessed.

-A wonderful boat ride. No direction, no cares, who cares, wherever we go is exactly perfect.

-And, Babycakes, soaring with the best and joyous doing it.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
