Energy Update Dismissed & Unheard

The energy theme two weeks ago was about being dismissed and unheard, I am writing about it now because I dismissed it! I feel it is an important topic and like when I read, it almost won’t allow me to come up with another topic until I share this one. While this energy was arcing I listened to an interview of John Gray by Donna Eden. In this interview John Gray states women are 4 times more stressed in their home than men and 2 times more stressed than men in the workplace. John goes on to share women create oxytocin via estrogen and in a study women were found to create healthy levels of oxytocin when they felt they were heard. Now you know I am going to kick all women in the pants, right? We need to be heard. Being heard comes from us. I am not going to push at “are we hearing others” but instead lets do this one from the opposite angle. When you are seeing a situation unfold and you need to respond to? Use those “I feel statements” because nobody can trump your feelings, they are yours. Secondly, at the end of a conversation make a statement confirming what you desire. “I desire to see this position get filled by somebody who is hungry to work over experience.” “I desire to have my Saturday free, may we meet on Sunday?” Ha, in the middle of this article I broke off and wrote next week’s article! It’s a doooooozy! Claim your space, voice and desires. There is confusion afoot but do the best you can. The confusion is purposeful right now although it stinks. Read next week’s post to learn more about the confusion.

Energy Update "Standing Up"

This is not a newspaper article so I am not looking in this post to convey facts. I am only working with a little tidbit of information I heard. Maybe you’ve heard the Archdiocese in St Paul went bankrupt? I heard only a small snippet about it a few weeks ago but there was mention that people can submit their sexual assault claims to the church until April or May.....WHAT? The archbishop over the years has shared his narrow views of others choices, including being gay. Now there are allegations that he has had gay relations. Do you see he is appearing to resist indeed what he himself has been doing? It’s him in the mirror. Is there another way? You all know me! Of course there is. If the archbishop could be honest and love himself, he’d naturally love others. He is in a powerful position to make the change. He could change Catholicism in MN forever by standing up and claiming what is true. He could choose to be unafraid, and trust working with the church through love and allowing but instead he squandered his power. Think of the countless people who have felt damned for being who they are or for their choices, based on what the church judges is right or wrong. He has a choice to change this. Will he step up to the challenge of love? We must each of us take OUR opportunity to expand and bring forward our own truths. If we carry peace in us, others will be inspired to do the same! "

Fear, where did it get you?

For many years I deliberated, held myself back and didn't know who I really was. I went through some difficult times, many years of it in fact. The struggle has impacted my art. Perhaps for shame and fear, I pushed through because what is life without passion? I am currently working on Peace Is Abundant (PIA) which is a teacher, mentor and friend all wrapped in one. It's allowed a platform to express quickly and be prolific with reason. I am an intuitive person, which to me means I am able to see connections in everything around me. Sometimes this ability makes me appear smart or wise because I can see what others cannot. I've found I'm creating Peace Is Abundant in 50 increment blocks. Then in between I am creating vastly different art to Peace Is Abundant. This past fall I see a change in me, a harkening back to a style or expression I worked with in the mid 1990's. Some of us are slow learners! If that's you too my friend, huzzah to us both, if we pick up where we left off. Leaving the past in the past and allowing the future to be the future.
