June: Finding Joy in the Simplest of Things!

We have now entered the month of June! How could that be? For over two months we’ve been listening and watching the scary news of THE virus. We’ve been sheltering at home, communicating through zoom so we can still see and hear those that are important to us, and been out and about with masks and/or gloves.

It’s time to take a look at this from a different perspective.

While on my walk this morning, I asked Source for a theme for this month’s blog. The message I received was to just look around me!

So I did. I employed all my senses to do this fun assignment divinely given.

I saw and heard the birds. How different and exciting. The birds are so happy. Nothing seems to bother them or get in their way as they keep focused on their mission in life. I have a wren’s next on my porch and the babies have hatched. Mom and Dad are flying furiously back and forth to the next to feed their brood of five. They’re totally focused and committed to raising their babies.

I saw the squirrels dashing here and there. I stopped and was entertained by one that was doing his best to get into the neighbor’s bird feeder. What a show!

I could smell the newly mowed grass of a neighborhood home.

As I walked up the hill, the breeze began to blow on this humid morning. It cooled by skin and I was so appreciative of the change.

Neighbors were out walking this morning. Each person or couple had a pleasant hello, good morning or how are you? All done with a smile and I felt happy and blessed.

As the fog lifted, the sun shone through the trees in intermittent patterns on me and the road. It was almost a game of hopscotch and it was fun!

I returned home to journal while sitting on my porch. A mockingbird serenaded me with its multiple tunes of mimicking the songs of other birds.

I talked to my son to be sure he picked up the Amazon items for my grandson to continue and reinforce his home schooling.  He’s in Miami where the restrictions are a bit more stringent that here in Tallahassee. Oh, how I miss them!

I am blessed! I am whole, healthy, and well! I am loved!

I appreciate that I am here to share a message of appreciation for all that I have and experience.

What is your message for today?

Love,

Donna

THE NEW NORMAL

Here we are in our new normal. We’ve been isolated and quarantined, except for essential personnel; tested and not working or in close contact with family and friends. In some places we haven’t been able to go to the grocery store and have had to rely on delivery of food and medicines.

This just isn’t normal.

The question has been asked of me; Would I have changed anything if I knew that the quarantine was coming? I really gave this a lot of thought and came out with the answer of No.

Why?

This has been a whole new learning of an unknown experience. For some, it’s life threatening. I’m in the over 65 category, yet very healthy.

My attitude has been one of faith that all will be well. I realize I said this last month and I’m now even more steadfast in the belief that it will. It HAS to be! I’ve chosen not to invite the virus or lack into my life!

What have I learned?

  • ·        I’ve learned that I can be my own best friend.
  • ·        I’ve learned more about my technology in order to stay in touch with those I care about.
  • ·        I’ve learned that there are always things to do around my home.
  • ·        I’ve learned to appreciate my home and know that I love living here.
  • ·        I’ve learned that even if I don’t have Zumba and dance lessons to attend, I can do them at home including adding in yoga classes that I didn’t know existed prior to the virus. The new ones that have been added by my friend, a yoga teacher and lifestyle coach, have been great.
  • ·        I’ve learned to enjoy reading from a book again. I love the feel of a book in my hand…and my iPad, but a book is so earthy and substantial.
  • ·        I’ve learned to connect with my family, especially my 4 year old grandson on video as he moves around the room to show me his toys.
  • ·        I’ve learned to connect with my clients in a different and deeper way and it feels good!
  • ·        I’ve learned to love me in this independence and freedom of solitude.

My heart goes out to all those that have been suffering from this disease and new way of living.

My heart is filled with thankfulness for all the essential workers that are keeping us healthy.

My heart breaks for those that have lost income and the ability to pay for their home or food.

My heart embraces the children that are learning from home (and the parents and family that are homeschooling) to work on making life a bit “normal”.

Yet, my heart is full and continues to overflow with love that sees this world whole, healthy and well in the NEW normal.

We are whole, healthy and well. 

How do you see this new normal and your new life in the future?

Please respond and let me know. I really, really do want to hear from you.

Amen!

Love,

Donna

 

 

 

April 2020: FAITH over FEAR!


Last night I awoke at 4:00am. Nature called as usual. However, things were not as usual. On returning to bed, I was overcome with fear and panic. I’ve worked really hard to overcome allowing fear and panic into my life. Yet, it wasn’t feeling good! I wasn’t feeling good!

What was the cause? Was it the pandemic? Money? Family? Food? My home? Friends? Health?

Turned out it was all the above and the free floating fear and anxiety was beginning to spiral out of control and have me curled up in a fetal position in my bed as I started with the “What ifs….”.

Until I realized what had happened. I watched the news! Yes, the regular network news with 8 reporters telling about what horrible and unimaginable things happening all over the country and the world.

What was I thinking??

FEAR SELLS! We all tend to listen to media and the stories can be horrific giving the feeling that everything will jump right out of the TV into your living room.

I decided that I have a choice! YOU have a choice!!

My dear friend gave me the pictured shirt that says FAITH over FEAR!

I chose FAITH!

Will YOU choose FAITH?

The FAITH that all is well!

The FAITH that we are resilient and strong!

The FAITH that we will have money for now and the future!

The FAITH that your family will remain healthy, whole and well!

Will you choose FAITH over FEAR!

If you have any doubts, fears or concerns, please reach out. I’m here for you!

Remember, JOY (not FEAR) has your name on it!

 

Love,

Donna

 

You Have a Choice March Blog and Horoscopes

You ALWAYS Have a Choice!

It’s March and it’s time to be ready with horoscopes for the month along with my message or blog. I have been waiting for inspiration; that little nudge from Spirit that says, “This is what you should share”. It wasn’t coming even in meditation.

During my call this morning with my VA (Virtual Assistant), Arsalan, and a genius who is teaching me the ins and outs of Google searching with his unlimited patience, we discovered that the 7 of Cups was top in the searches this month. I was thinking, “Why the 7 of Cups?”

The 7 of Cups represents choices, options, possibilities, and a course of action. What a beautiful thing! How many times have you said to yourself that you didn’t have any other choice? The interesting thing about the 7 of Cups is that the card shows seven images with some of them less than delightful choices.

It is a reminder that we ALWAYS have a choice…we just may not always like the choices!

  • ·        Some of your options may be illusions; the story you made up in your head about a scenario that would have a negative outcome.
  • ·        Some of the options are real and could be hazardous to your health, emotions and spirit.
  • ·        Some of the options are about letting go and releasing what has proven to not be in your best interest.
  • ·        Some of the options will be helpful and bring you to your highest good.

It’s amazing what your imagination can create.

Now, here’s the real test: which option serves you best?

Look around you. How many choices do you have to make in a day or a moment?

  • ·        What to eat?
  • ·        What bills to pay?
  • ·        What clothes to wear today for my big event?
  • ·        What discipline to use with my children?
  • ·        Is this the right person in my life?
  • ·        Should I move? Or change jobs?
  • ·        What candidate to vote for in the upcoming election?
  • ·        And many, many more!

The most sound and workable advice that I can give you (and use myself) is to follow what feels good and to follow your heart?

  • ·        Does this feel right to you?
  • ·        Do you feel annoyed, aggravated, or resentful or do you feel appreciation, caring and love?
  • ·        Can I follow how I feel and be true to me or do I have to follow what’s trending on social media?
  • ·        Can I be an example of living authentically or must I abide by the opinions of my co-workers or family?

In this day and age, this time and place of so much coming at you through media on all levels, it becomes confusing on what is the best choice for you to make on any subject of importance.

Make the choice easy, follow your heart and what feels good!

Trust me! It does work!

February 2020 Blog and Horoscopes

RELATIONSHIPS

You made it through all the powerful aspects of December and January! They are keeping you on your toes and letting you know where you need to focus, clear the air, clean out the closets, let go of people/relationships and allow your true self to shine through as you’re walking your true path.

That sounds like a lot, but it’s true. You’ve been doing this for awhile and you have a great aspect coming up that will give you a bit of relief here in February.

Jupiter sextile Neptune on February 20 is a supportive, benevolent aspect which is active throughout most of 2020.  It’s wonderful that Jupiter and Neptune get along and give us a sense of smooth sailing. Just what we need. You get to see the glass half full for a change. Milk this positivity it for what it’s worth because it happens two more times this year.

Through all of this and more to come with Mercury Retrograde this month, you have one thing that you can count on and find comfort.

Relationships!!

Relationships begin with the relationship you have with YOU and the Joy you feel in living.

What does Joy mean to you and where do you find it easily? Is it in work, family, hobbies, dance, sports, love, travel, friends, romance, nature? Or something else?

Before you can have a truly authentic relationship with anyone else, you need to have that same relationship with yourself.

This was a difficult lesson for me to learn. I was raised that everyone else came first. Yes, that was the notion of the time and maybe hard to believe. I was really good at putting everyone else first, taking care of their needs and leaving me last. I felt unseen, a martyr and often taken advantage of, yet, I created this. I couldn’t understand why family wasn’t kind to me or why I wasn’t seen.

I realized that I was not treating myself with love and caring so why should anyone else! I had to work at finding Joy in life and finally love and accept me warts and all. This took time. It was a new concept.

Now, I have been rewarded with loving friendships. You know what I mean, that unconditional, non-judgmental and accepting love that fills your heart to overflowing whether friends, family or romance.

What I received was a gift from the Universe that fills my life with LOVE. I am truly blessed.

Would you like to discover heartfelt Joy within yourself?

Would you like to know where you are blocking your Joy or where you allow it to come easily?

You can with the Connect with Joy Reading that is the February special. A half-hour reading now $10 off. The beauty of this reading is that it can be done for individuals and for couples, whether romantic partners or business partners.

No longer block your Joy. Create a life of unconditional, non-judgmental and accepting love on all levels. Find your Joy and spread it around to all those you touch.

And discover the gift that the Universe has for you!

FEBRUARY HOROSCOPES AND YOU!

ARIES: The heavens continue to favor your career. Your social calendar is balanced by time for solitude and retreat. Venus enters Aries on the 7th boosting your self-image and self-esteem. For the remainder of the month, affirm your heart’s desires, including love. This may bring some emotional lows when in negative aspects. Mercury retrogrades on the 16th, double check and verify everything.

TAURUS: This month is wrapped in a beautiful bow just for you because it starts and ends with the Moon in your sign. Make any decisions about career or a parent before Mercury turns retrograde on the 16th. During this time, follow where the facts lead. Most of the month supports your goals for the future. The month ends with a situation or relationship coming to a natural end.

GEMINI: Several excellent aspects sprinkled throughout the month bring many blessings your way which means the less you try, and the more you let things happen as they will, the better the outcomes will be. Mercury turns retrograde on the 16th, fact checking becomes doubly important, especially with travel plans or plans for the future. Mars in your 8th house continues the focus on money.

CANCER: More than some, you have an extra sweet spot for Valentine’s Day as you delight in showing loved ones how much you care. The Moon in Scorpio means you’ll be in tune with what others desire. After the 16th, Mars in your 7th house, the pot is stirred in your partnership sector, business or relationships. At the end of the month, pay attention to your dreams and their truths.

LEO: This month is a blank canvas for your creativity with Mars in Sagittarius. After the 16th, Mars in Capricorn and you focus on health and work tasks. The Sun in your opposite sign, brings people into your life that are fascinating yet be selective on how much time you spend with them. Mercury retrograde on the 16th, keep your sense of humor and be open to change.

VIRGO: With Venus in Pisces for the first week of the month, many kind people show that they value you and respond to you. That should be a good time to show your loved one how much he or she means to you. Don’t wait until Valentine’s Day! The Sun in Aquarius energizes you. Mercury Retrograde (16th), listen carefully to what others say in order to get the story straight and correct errors.

LIBRA: The month is full of options and changes and is rather social, with some friendly Aquarius energy dominating. You have a unique connection to Valentine’s Day because Libra rules love and marriage and you take relationship commitments seriously. This month favors doing projects at home that combine function and beauty. Mercury retrograde and it will be hard for you to reach decisions without first getting feedback from others. Weigh all options.

SCORPIO: Strong Capricorn energies this month bring an urge to be more open rather than secretive. You are a master at being strategic in handling information you share or withhold, and people seek out your skill. Moon in Scorpio on Valentine’s Day has you attracting your desires. Mercury Retrograde will not get the upper hand, you are naturally introspective.

SAGITTARIUS: Mars in Sagittarius through the 15th favors taking a new assertive direction. Your competitive spirit will be high regarding any sports activities or business endeavors. Believe in yourself. You are at the top of your game at mid-month. At the end of the month, it’s best to take a waiting attitude and stay on the safe side to complete old business or existing problems. You’re in charge!

CAPRICORN: You are already on top of situations with Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto continuing their paths through Capricorn this month. The Moon in Capricorn the 18th-20th, you are definitely calling the shots! Planning is going on behind the scenes with Mars for what is best for everyone in the long run. Finances are favored through the 16th; social invitations should be fun after that.

AQUARIUS: Happy Birthday, Aquarius. You may be eager to make a major change in order to renew your sense of life purpose and affirm your deepest truths as you launch your new personal year. Change of residence or improvements? A second home? Cleaning out?  This Uranus transit in Taurus rules the unexpected. This transit will give you more space, freedom and financial independence.

PISCES: While the Sun is in Aquarius before it moves into Pisces on the 18th, focus on wrapping up loose ends from the past year so you can feel ready to tackle new goals and wishes. When the Sun moves into Pisces (18th) the rest of the month promises to be memorable. Capricorn planets urge you to connect with friends and social life. End of the month, use greater caution surrounding money.

WISHING YOU A BEAUTIFUL FEBRUARY!!   HAPPY 2020!!

Love,

Donna

Remember, JOY has your name on it!!

JANUARY 2020 BLOG AND HOROSCOPES

REFLECTIONS

2020, a new decade! This very thought brought me to reflect on the last decade of my life which also led me to be much more intentional about this upcoming decade.

Not that 2010-2020 has been a bad one. The school year 2010-2011 was my last year as a classroom teacher. I retired in 2011. I then set about discovering what I wanted to do when I grew up. After all, it wasn’t about the age. It was about the energy I felt in the adventure.

And an adventure it was. I continued my dancing, tried horse back riding and volunteered at the Animal Shelter. I helped my friend make jewelry at her shop and volunteered at chili cook-offs for charity. My ballroom dancing took me to competitions and dancing in shows. I traveled and started my business which took on various names as I grew as an entrepreneur to now settle into The Clarity Creator.

I made some good decisions that are with me today and I made some that “seemed like a good idea at the time” which I’m still paying for on a variety of levels.

In everything, I learned and came to be in this moment my most authentic and no-apologies woman of purpose, strength and self-love.

Yes, I REALLY do love and like me. That took some work. It was an inside job of great proportions and no easy task.

I had to give up pleasing others. I had to give up doing what was “expected” of me…or so I thought. I had to give up what others thought was best for me.

I HAD TO LEARN TO JUST BE ME!!! 
And to trust my intuition and guidance.

Each New Year I created resolutions and intentions. The resolutions (just the word) were self-defeating because they made me feel less than who I am. I was broken so I had to get fixed. Do you know that feeling?

I now do intentions. The overall intention is to have an adventure, to have FUN, and to just enjoy the journey.

What FREEDOM there is in living to create an adventure even if it’s about removing a few pounds, becoming stronger and healthier, meeting new people to expand my or just experience or just being me!! It’s about the focus and feeling of what you’re doing.

Who will you create this New Year and this New Decade??

Make 2020 a great start to this new YOU!!

And if you’d like a little guidance in this direction, check out my new reading, New Year Ahead 2020 here: http://bit.ly/lookahead2020 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

WELCOME TO 2020!

ARIES: Happy New Year, Aries! The year starts with Capricorn energies, far more than usual. The sky’s the limit for you this year by working smarter, not harder. An exact Saturn-Pluto conjunction this month pressures you to take responsibility for your reputation, integrity and resourcefulness. In 2020, consider your power to attract friends and groups to collaborate and expand.
TAURUS: Welcome to 2020! With radical Uranus in your sign all year, you are bound to surprise others and yourself by how much more freedom you realize you can have in making changes, whether small or large. The many planets in Capricorn push you to make practical plans for your future and take the real steps to execute them. Go for it!!
GEMINI: Happy 2020! You often have 20/20 vision, and this is a great year for you! And 20/20 represents your symbol of the twins. Mars enters your solar house of relationships bringing social fun. This is a great time to connect or re-connect with loved ones and friends yet set boundaries for yourself and maintain your focus.  This is about you!
CANCER: Happy 2020! Mars in your solar 5th house, the FUN house, at the beginning of the month brings creative impulses out in a dynamic way. Mars moves into your 6th house of health and you are determined to see your New Year’s intentions through. This is also the house of pets. Are you considering adding one? Relationships are a focus and priority at the end of the month.
LEO:  Some of 2019’s opportunities will continue because of a Saturn-Pluto conjunction in your solar 6th house. Keep your focus on your current projects, health and well-being. Organization is key! With Jupiter in Capricorn, you are ready to rise to these challenges with grace, foresight and insight. Recruit all the assistance you can. Leadership and creativity are yours!
VIRGO: Happy New Year, Virgo!! The year 2020 starts with an important drive for you to act on information and communicate your intentions. Any New Year’s resolutions or intentions are fueled by the strong focus. Planets in Capricorn in your solar 5th house of creativity, children and lovers require your diligent skill and effort to manage them. Jupiter shines a bright light on all the possibilities.
LIBRA: Happy 2020! In finding balance, you sometimes weigh your options to the point of not choosing one. Mars in Sagittarius most of the month and your social life grows. The planets in Capricorn in your 4th house emphasize your needs of home, possibly to reorganize, purge, or make a purchase that will help you simplify and streamline, including personal and ancestral matters.
SCORPIO: Cheers, Scorpio!! And to the new passions to drive your purpose. On the 3rd, Mars enters Sagittarius and your 2nd house of money, shifting your focus to decisions and plans to invest and maximize your profits. If you are an entrepreneur, this is your year. Planets in Capricorn urge you to clear and effective communication now. This is your time to grow!!
SAGITTARIUS: Happy New Year! This month a bunch of planets in Capricorn are in your solar second house, putting your attention on money and how best to use your resources, including putting financial affairs in order. Mars in Sagittarius gives you a huge boost in implementing your plans or starting a new program that gets you in the groove. Go for it!
CAPRICORN: Happy New Year! Make any resolution you want, because you will have the power to effect change in large and small ways this year because a number of planets in Capricorn are strengthening your resolve to make it happen. When the Moon passes through Capricorn on the 22nd and 23rd you’ll feel capable and ready to handle anything. Capricorn honors your obligations.
AQUARIUS:  Are you feeling the New Year? It may feel more like the same to you because you are alert to change and are aware of your choices. People count on you to be clear and truthful. You feel the need for times of quiet and Capricorn planets in your 12th house contribute to moments of solitude for you.  Time to recover your inner peace is essential now.
PISCES: Welcome to 2020! Nebulous Neptune remains in your sign. This may have you feeling the need for help and prayers from others if you’ve experienced loss of any kind through the Neptune transit. You may need to just escape into an oasis of peace and comfort, whether a place of worship or a pet shelter. Enjoy the peace and quiet and get back to what is meaningful for you.

Love,

Donna

HAPPY 2020!!!
