Hello again!  Happy new year.  The first few weeks of this new year has been about organizing.  I said goodbye to clutter in 2022 and am trying to get organized so that maintenance is all I need to worry about.  
I've been through a lot and have done a lot since I last blogged.  Last year I created new moonscapes where I drew on a big foam board or poster sized paper everyday throughout the new moon cycle.  It was incredible!  My artwork is actually coming along amazingly!  This year, I will be creating full moonscapes!  I finally started it after getting new foam boards to start the sketching. The new moons were represented as a black filled in circle.  I chose to fill in the full moons with yellow. I want to have an art show at some point.
I've been doing fairs in Corpus.  I mainly work at the Angel Light Fair there. I absolutely love it! We have wonderful vendors all with loving hearts.  It's held at an event center called the Bay Jewel on Mesquite St. Sadly it may be a couple of months before I'm able to return as I "get to have" major dental work done.  I will get back there as soon as I can though! 
Yes, my teeth started hurting bad back in November.  I went to a dentist to make sure I didn't have abscess again especially before flying.  Luckily they were just all decayed :P. I kept postponing this surgery as it's a lot to deal with on top of the other life changing things going on with me. I finally decided to go forward when I realized that the anxiety I'm feeling will not go away.  I'm just going to have to do it so I can start the healing process and ultimately feel better. If you have any favorite soft foods to suggest I'll be happy to try them since I will be on a soft diet for about 6 months.  Hopefully sooner...maybe 6 weeks. Right now I'm going to get things taken care of before I'm in that reclining dentist chair raised up very high because my dentist is very tall. 
​I give a Hoot about you! 

Wow! Hello peeps!  It's been a while since I sat here at my computer to reach out to the world wide web and drop some love. Well, here I am right now fully expanded and sending powerful, unconditional, beautiful love to all of you!
It's been crazy but refreshing!  We've fully opened up again.  People are embracing and connecting on awe inspiring levels. I too have connected and embraced the newness.  It's the small things that I step back and gaze upon and my heart smiles. June 25, 2021 my niece, nephew, parents and I went to the movies to see if F9 lived up to the hype.  We got our sodas, snacks, and maneuvered around a crowded lobby!  We watched the explosions, the car jumps, and comic relief after intense scenes. When we returned to our vehicle we saw that something was afoot.  Our car was broken into.  They attempted to steal it for a joyride but thanks to the Alarm, they couldn't get it started.  Out of frustration they took my niece and nephew's bag. We were waiting on cops, a tow truck, and my sister and brother in law.  I started getting us dancing to the music on the speakers and from the car as my Dad attempted to start it.  Around 2 am, the tow and my sister and brother in law arrived at the same time!  We went back to the house and waited a bit longer as the tow truck delivered the car.  Finally at 4 am we went to eat at I.H.O.P.  I believe it was the first time we all sat down in a restaurant together since the pandemic.  So, thank you thieves for bringing us together.  I value my family.  Yes, we have our moments of frustration, but when it counts, we're together.  
The things I've been working on was put on the back burner as I struggled and wavered in my own head.  I kept thinking that in the past, I've tried this or that and it didn't work out.  As I learned in a recent session with a client, we've been clean slated. Everything before this moment is clear.  We now have the opportunity to create what we want more of!  Don't worry about the what or how.  Allow yourself to focus on the feelings you want more of.  Dive deep into the feeling of love.  Feel abundance and embrace those feelings.  Remember the feeling of connection, of safety, of giddiness.  The Universe will bring those feelings to you in amazing ways.  With the slate clear, my energy expanded, and my focus on the feelings, I dive in and move toward my destiny.  I nurture my dreams and embrace each step it takes to reach them.  
Welcome back to life, love, grace, gratitude, joy, and growth!  Magic is in the air and magic is within you!  I give a hoot about you!  I'm ready to work and be of service to all!  Hoot hoot salute to all.  You've made it!
​

HELLO!!!!  The weather is absolutely gorgeous here today!  I am feeling perky and hopeful!  Today I had to go to the store. It's not one of my favorite things to do especially since I've been several times this month already, but sometimes it's an awesome experience!  Today was one of those days.  I was able to get my sweet Sasha her cans and treats.  I got everything I needed then went to check out.  There, waiting in line was a beautiful soul donning stunning jewelry.  She had agate, moonstone, and amethyst on.  I was all fairy like as I complimented and connected with her.  I checked out and decided to give her my card. It feels good to recognize like minded people when you're out doing a normal thing.  It can happen anywhere at anytime!  As I loaded my car, I felt peacefulness in the parking lot.  I carry that peace within me now as well.

I am excited for this weekend as we welcome one of my two favorite seasons...SPRING!!!!  This has been a challenging winter, but things are feeling different now.  I have an equinox ceremony coming together as well as a marriage to do the following day.  I love being a part of a couple's union.  I'm particularly excited about this marriage as I've been on the ride with my friend as she tried to find her mate.  The road to love or of love can be challenging, emotional, and downright magical!  To see her happy now as she's settling into a lifelong commitment fills my cup!

My cup is also full of different ideas coming through...projects to start...and actions to take to see these ideas come to fruition.  I'm bubbly like an uncorked bottle of champagne!  Who's ready to toast!?  

As you go through your normal activities, know that something special could happen at any moment.  I am so grateful for life and the many blessings of Spirit.  Thank you for going shopping this morning, beautiful soul.  Thank you for lighting up my day. Time to create!  

Speaking of creating, the 40.00 soulscapes are available through the end of the month!  Get your name on the list for it now.  OOOH YES!!!  I'm also excited to say that after 3 long weeks being without hot water, the plumbers are scheduled for tomorrow!  

​I give a hoot about  you!  I'm here for you.  Just reach out!

Well as of yesterday Gov. Greg Abbott lifted the mask mandate and gave the okay to reopen to 100% capacity.  There are many emotional responses to this reopening after a year of trauma imposed upon us.  We've been through an entire year filled with depression, "social" distancing, constant astronomical numbers of deaths because of one virus.  Many have lost loved ones and were denied the experience of being present at their deaths.  The services for loved ones were also very different and I feel not really conducive to the grieving process.  Funerals are ceremonies of closure.  Many were forced to either experience this closure ceremony differently or not at all.  My heart is with you.
We've been trained to fear even more than before.  We've done a great job of surviving this past year.  Now, we're being thrust into stepping back into LIVING.  We have new ideas of what living means.  It will be an adjustment for some and there are some that may continue to survive.  It is now a choice again.  
What does living mean to you?  March 10th is when it goes into effect.  One week to think about the answer to that.  Longer if you feel it's best for you.  I honor where you are.  I always have and I always will.  
I know opening feels scary.  Being open means being vulnerable.  There's been many times that I've closed my heart, closed my throat, closed my root.  It took work to open up again.  Fifteen years ago, I experienced agoraphobia.  It took 45 minutes at my door before I could muster up the courage to open it and go to work.  Ten years ago I closed my heart.  I had given up on love.  It didn't feel safe to love anymore.  I figured it was best to just protect my body by adding weight or make myself feel as unattractive as possible, though that didn't really work out like I thought it would.  I continued to get hurt. It took getting into a car accident to officially open me up again.  Fifteen years ago, my throat was closed.  My voice was squelched by fear of persecution if I spoke up or expressed any authenticity.
What did I do?
A huge opening moment began as I opened the book "Change Your Life in 30 Days" by Rhonda Britten.  I had established a trust in Rhonda Britten as I watched her show "Starting Over."  Oh I was transformed by that show as I watched real women struggle and have their life coach experiences filmed.  Thank you Starting Over guests!  Thank you Starting Over life coaches.  In 2005 Starting Over came on at 4:00 am.  I worked at 7:00 am during that time.  I'd wake up at 4 am to watch it, then I'd watch the first 5 minutes of news before taking a snooze for another hour or so.  I picked up this book and actually did the exercises.  One chapter a day for 30 days.  After 30 days, I was able to leave my apartment freely.  I was able to go to restaurants by myself and a whole bunch of other things.  It remains my #1 most recommended book. 
As for my self expression, this took a lot longer and I still struggle with it.  First, I had to say things like, "I feel anxious about going to this dentist appointment, and it's okay."  Or "I feel sad about this experience and it's okay."  I did this out loud for a while.  Then I met my out of this world friend Mars.  Together we sang karaoke.  Oh this was a huge throat opener!  I didn't need to get drunk or anything.  I just got up in front of everyone and sang.  Sometimes it was awesome and sometimes it was really bad, but I always had a blast! 
My root issues took quite a long journey and required deep hypnosis healing.  After 13 hours of hypnosis, I'm stronger at my root.  I still have some work to do, but now I'm learning about body talk.  That is opening up a whole new world of insight and innerstanding.  I continue to open and grow. 
Being vulnerable can be quite scary.  Go at your pace.  Trust YOUR gut instincts.  Allow yourself to OPEN to the possibilities of this new phase of rebirth.  
I am here for you.  I give a hoot about you!  I'm ready to assist!  Hoot hoot!  

Ahhh! No more snow!  I learned a lot during the winter storm in Texas.  First, my husband and I make a great survival team. I'm grateful for our gas stove.  We were able to heat our water and make tea...a lot of tea!  We ate hot dogs, soups, and chili. I loved watching the snow falling.  It was soothing and then I was like "Okay, you're beautiful but really!  I'm in TX not Colorado. Or were we transported there over night?"
We had our blackouts.  My husband used his sleeping back to keep warm while I slept with two jackets on and a mountain of blankets.  Every time we got power again, it was a quick motion to plug in our devices and get some gaming in.  It was really stressful.  
After all was said and melted, we discovered one busted pipe at our water heater.  As of today (3/3/2021) we are still without hot water, but the plumbers are on it.  I pray for rapid delivery of the part so they can get us up and going again.  Many experienced a lot worse.  I pray for their quick and correct remedies to their issues.  
We stayed updated through Ham Radio. So grateful for the many voices that came over the radio providing shared experience, much needed information, and continued connection.  
Our Sasha girl didn't like the snow at first.  She refused to go outside to go potty for a day and a half.  Knowing the urgency of her relief, I took her for a walk around the block.  After that, she was a snow bunny!  It was truly an ordeal.  Perhaps next time they will winterize our power grids.  Solar and wind are great resources of energy, but there is a place for coal and gas.  I'm grateful my family elsewhere in San Antonio made it through okay as well.  I hope you did too!  
​I give a hoot about you and am wishing warm thoughts and a lot of love.

The night was quiet here at the owl's nest.  My dog had eaten dinner and was expressing her need to use the bathroom.  I was going to just take her in the backyard, but I knew she wanted a walk.  I felt anxiety rising up and for a moment I didn't know what to do.  I consulted my pendulum and all signs pointed to take that walk.  Friday night, under a full moon. So I hooked her leash on her and out we went.  It wasn't a long walk.  It was a nice, casual, 30 minute jaunt here in the neighborhood.  For the first five minutes, I was definitely experiencing a panic attack.  Then, I let the exercise and Mother Nature work for me.  Soon I relaxed.  I did hear a lot of sirens of first responders and I might've heard some gunshots.  When that happened, I kept calm. I took Sasha's lead.  She wasn't freaking out, so that helped me relax.  We walked farther than I thought we would, but I enjoyed every step...after the anxiety attack faded into a meditative state. My small victory here was working through the anxiety. When you have a small victory, go ahead and acknowledge and celebrate it somehow.  Small victories count too!

I give a hoot about you and all your small and large victories!

Oh boy! First of all, welcome to 2021.  It doesn't feel that much different from 2020.  I'm different though.  So since the beginning of the year I printed the novel I wrote back in 2006!  I had to convert my manuscript from floppy disks.  Remember those?  It was such a treat to have the entire thing printed out again.  I finished rereading it yesterday and I have to say that it was awesome!  Yes, I'm hooting my own horn, but there were pretty great images and feelings that came up.  One of the highlights was how the messages are timeless.  It was like I wrote the messages I would need to see 15 years later!  I love when I do that.  I'll write something and then it will go missing.  When I find it again, it says exactly what I need to hear.  I really enjoyed the celebration with Spirit upon  completion of the reread.  I danced with Phoenix again!  Oh it was so special to have him celebrate this achievement with me considering he was the inspiration to get me started. 
Rewind 15 or so years ago.  I had writer's block.  It started because a book I was almost done writing burned in a fire.  All that work...gone.  I also lost over 100 poems.  I had someone ask me if I was that writer writing my book in Jim's restaurant.  I knew I had to get back to writing.  So I meditated.  It was this meditation that Owl totem first arrived for me and left me a gift of one of its feathers.  I was guided that my key to unlock the writer's block would come in the mail.  I was skeptical and then boom! I received Adult Continuing Education courses in the mail where I found a creative writing class.  This class broke through my writer's block for sure and I met a lifelong friend who is now back in my life taking classes with me!  Isn't life magical sometimes?  Life moved us apart for a while, but here we are 15 years later clicking again like no time had passed.  
I will be working to get my book published this year!
In 2020 I learned what life was like when you follow politics. I was thrust into that probably because of the lockdowns.  It was in my face and down my throat every day for a year.  At the end of it on 1/20/2021 I was deeply depressed.  I had to distance myself from everyone and everything for a few days.  I thought I'd never be happy again. I thought life was ending.  It was all very dramatic.  Life continued though and with time, space, and doing what I needed to do for myself, I pulled myself out of it. The less time I spend politically involved or aware, the better off I am.  It's okay to not be so political as there are others dealing with that.  I couldn't relax.  I was smiling through gritted teeth and if anyone mentioned hope to me I'd quickly push it away.  I experienced disconnection, fear, and frustration.  I felt a betrayal I've only dealt with once before.  It was definitely a growing time.  I couldn't hear my guides at all because so many other voices were in my head.  Now, after 6 days away from politics I can hear my guides again, my love making time did not include images of political figures popping up ruining my personal moment of connection, and I'm focusing my energy on my work.  Yes, I am impacted by politics, but I will no longer drink it in like I did.  I have to much other stuff going on and it trampled on my right to pursue happiness.  I had to redefine what made me happy.  Healing others, helping when I can, hearing my guides, and having connections with others make me happy. 
I had to remember who I was because I got lost in what others imposed on me.  I was held responsible for the actions of strangers who make their own choices.  I was at odds with my family.  In my age of Aquarius there is nothing but love, connection, healing, forgiveness, and knowing my Truth, living my Truth, and leading with my heart.   I will let others speak their truths freely and give respect like I've always done.  
I am unconditional love and I give a hoot about you!  Keep your frequency high, breathe as much as you can especially when not masked up, remember your voice is vital, and you are loved.  I pray for those that have lost loved ones during this horrible pandemic.  Keep their stories alive within you.  

A new day is upon us! This morning I noticed my dog has been a bit dizzy since her last crazy ride in my vehicle. She was having trouble going down the steps in our back yard so I decided that I was going to walk her.  I am so grateful for this choice!  We took a great 45 minute walk.  About 15 minutes in, I found myself in a meditative state.  The beauty of the day shone through as did the good vibes I was getting from this exercise.  Sasha's spirit was lifted as well as she was able to leave her blessings at various points.  I picked up her booty blessing and carried it like a trophy (hahahaha) but I threw it in our trash to be picked up in a couple of hours. In my walking meditation I gained clarity that I've been seeking for a few days. I look forward to our next walk!  
Forward...it's the motion I'm in.  I feel I am moving into the newness with determination. I look back and I just see it as a means to getting me to where I am now.  My attachments to the past are fewer now.  There are certain things I will always be attached to...the heartfelt memories of my time with my Granny and Grandpa, those precious moments in my life that fill me with joy as I remember them.  I'm noticing that I'm able to move through the flashbacks that come of the traumatizing times a bit quicker.  I'm grateful for that.
The way out is through.  What's on the other side is a gift of newness.  (Still in a meditative state.)  Let's get through things together!  I give a hoot about you!  I'm so grateful for your presence!

Hoot hoot peeps!  Well, we've made it to the final month of 2020.  I've been focusing on the positive things that have happened this year.  In the last few hours of 2019, my friend and I created Ascending Souls Center.  We were going to have this grand event called Ascension Summit 2020.  Well, yeah, that didn't happen.  Now it will be more of a Comfort Summit 2021. Many souls have returned home this year. We had an opportunity to pause and reset during the global lock down that was supposed to be for 2 weeks to slow the spread.  Here we are 9 months later.... I've been getting back out there, taking care of clients, engaging in social events...smaller, but it's critical for me to do so.  I got to see the great choice I made when I went to that party back in 2012 and met my husband.  We've really made an awesome team throughout this ordeal.  We've hit lows and highs. It's been a year like no other.  We've had to get creative in ways we celebrate each other and milestones in our loved ones lives.  
I have gained so much information this year that I don't know what to do with it all.  The question on my mind has been, "What do I do with this information?  What's valid?  What the farkle is going on?  The spell we've been unknowingly under has disappeared.  There is no way I can go back to sleep and pretend that life is all thornless roses.  Oh, I've seen and felt those thorns on my roses.  I've really stepped up to my purpose and fully engaged in my higher self.  My empathy is global and galactic now.  My senses are incredibly heightened.  I've lost a lot of weight and still continue to.  I've watched my nephew flourish in his first semester of college.  My niece is doing awesome as a junior in high school.  I'm so proud of those kiddos. I've sought refuge at the ocean and it didn't fail to fulfill me and rejuvenate me.  I've met and incredible group of women that I attend coffee with.  When I've been really hit hard and struggled with my will to continue, I heard, "All is well.  Trust the plan. Trust the vision."  We're in a process of rebirth.  Hoot hoot!
I've had the honor of creating soulscapes for 10 amazing nurses.  It was a long project but I'm a few lines away from completing the last one...just in the nick of time for my friend to deliver them before her birthday.  
I look forward to 12/21/2020 as we begin The Age of Aquarius!  There will be stellar events happening as well.  I will be in meditation pretty much all day!  It feels good to look forward to things. For the moment my vision of 2021 is blocked. I just want to finish out this year strong.
Last month I set a goal to have my manuscript of my first book printed and in my hands.  I've taken steps to see this goal through.  Each step of the process is important.  We see the summit of a mountain we're trying to climb and we get eager to arrive and see the view.  There are many surprises along the journey to the summit. 
I leave you with that for now.  I give a hoot about you and send divine love your way.  

Hoot hoot my fellow peeps.  Today I am feeling sad.  My heart is crying for the way things are going in the world.  We are being pitted against one another over a difference of opinion.  I've received many attacks like many others.  This is crushing my spirit.  It's a lose lose lose situation.  We have lost fellow humans to death.  Yet, my view on Death is a bit more joyful because of my near death experiences.  Our loved ones who have passed are now working for us as we go through these massive energetic changes.  Our life plan includes a death plan.  We all have a key home.  As we walk this planet without our loved ones physically present it can be so so sad.  The numbers of those who died in every category is tragic.  Luckily we don't feel the pain of everyone's death.  If we did, we wouldn't be able to function.  We face our own losses every time a friend or family member takes their final breath. I have compassion for the pain experienced in loss.
The anger, or passion, is thick.  Tension is at an all time high. The games or cards that are being played constantly are the fear card, guilt, and shame.  I have changed my program away from such manipulation tactics.  I have done the work to become fearless.  I have done the work to get out from under the heaviness of imposed guilt/shame.  I've done a lot of work. As a shaman I have seen and experienced so much that it's unfathomable to some.  That is fine.  The red road is challenging. The shaman path is definitely not easy, but it is so worth it to me.
I worry about our children.  I worry about our elderly.  I worry about the ill.  Then, I take action.  Sometimes the only action I can take is prayer.  You better believe prayer has a strong impact.  When I was being attacked for my choice, I could feel that the person was not raging at me alone.  This person was raging at all those who oppose his/her point of view.  I felt backed into a corner, squashed, and torn apart.  This person apologized to me later.  I'm grateful for that, but it's taking me a minute to stop feeling the pain incurred.  I asked, "Can you pray for me and others like me?"  Sadly, the answer was no. I hope they will think on this and change their mind and pray for those they believe are "wrong, ill, touched by the devil...what have you."  We all need prayer.  
We have lost patience.  Everything is a reaction.  We have experienced betrayal that cuts deep into our heart and core. Those wounds take time to heal.  I find myself asking for guidance to help that feeling of betrayal.  Every single time, the answer I get is to heal with love.  I see disintegration of long time friends and even family.  I see our children experiencing PTSD, depression, and anxiety.  I refuse to accept this as normal...new or otherwise. 
We have lost Trust.  
We have lost the feeling of safety.  Going to the store is such a sad experience.  I have to create rewards for going there. Lately, my reward is Stok's cold brew coffee. It is definitely a necessary item in my cart. I don't even wait to get home before popping that silver protector and downing that goodness. Luckily the bottles are a descent size so I don't swallow the entire thing.  If they ever come out with Stok's on Tap...I'm there.  That was a sidebar!  The shopping is a sad experience because there is a lack of smiles.  There is more fear.  I'm grateful that I get to provide for my family.
So, now that the sadness has been covered, I ask that you go deep within and remember your innocence.  You are not evil to have a different opinion.  You are not a bad person if your mask slips down or if you happen to forget it. 
I ask that you see the innocence in others.  You are unaware of what they have witnessed and experienced. Snap judgments can lead to unjolly folly.  We are all one heartbeat.  We are human beings.  We are flesh, blood, bone, and soul.  
We all have a part of the whole story.  Your story is valuable.  You are valuable.
This holiday season families may not get together.  Honor where they are at and celebrate those who come together.  
Will we ever recover from the many revelations and revolutions 2020 has brought us?  Eventually I hope.  It will take time, love, and remembering innocence.  Please, tell each other positive things.  Hug your children tight and help them to feel safe again.  Honor each other's choices.  If you cannot agree on something, that is okay.  It shows you are human and not a robot! Congrats!  My Granny and I disagreed once.  She used that moment to teach me a lesson I live by to this day, "Let's agree to disagree."  Hug it out!  If you need a hug right now, my wings are wrapping around you.
I am here for you because  I give a hoot about you!
With unconditional love, I bless you.
