Just For Today… Quiet

   Posted by: Victoria    in Uncategorized

I love quiet days… like today… it gives me a chance to hear the birds sing outside… and just hear the sounds of my neighborhood.

A quiet house… hubby at the office and daughter in school… allows me to hear my own voice… and listen…to ponder things that only the quiet can bring forth… and just enjoy the sounds that my own life makes… as I go about my day.

As a society we are so addicted to talking…turning up the radio or television… just so we can hear something… or to make us feel like we are not alone. The quiet makes most people feel so uncomfortable.

Why does silence and quiet scare us all so?

I will spend this quiet morning writing…I have my seasonal newsletter in progress… and on days like this… I can actually hear my creative mind click… like my fingers on the key board… and I find it so soothing to be alone… and honor the quiet all around me.

Quiet is golden.

Just For Today… Seasons

   Posted by: Victoria    in Uncategorized

I love the different and changing seasons… found in nature…the cycles always reminding me of a special event that happened in my life… in that season or a holiday that I dearly love. Or when I need to do something… or not do…to be in the flow of my own life.

Nature is my greatest teacher and mentor.

I don’t know… why we are always in such a hurry to rush through a season… or complain about the changing weather… or not even acknowledge that everything that season brings… and is… has a purpose…for the land and all living things to survive and thrive!

And it wasn’t that many years ago… that we has humans lived by the changing seasons… not by a clock or calendar.

We knew when to plant… to harvest… to rest… to let go… to mourn loss… to celebrate life and wins… in such a more emotionally healthy and common sense way… that was natural and authentic… and more human.

But then this is just my way of feeling life… and pondering the universe… and being with my own inner drum beat.

I jive with nature and her changing seasons… and mirror them with my own life as a woman… it just makes sense… after all my own body has the same elements as the earth… there is a connection… that I am and all of us… need to pay attention to…and use wisely.

I began living my own life with the flow of the changing seasons… after doing years of research… and seeing that today’s scientific research ALSO claims… that most of our stress…disease and cancers are caused… by the unnatural lives we lead…and our disconnection from nature.

I made a choice to live by the changing seasons… and I must say… I feel happier…calmer…and more in the flow.

Here are some natural guidelines for you to begin to live by… all taught by the land and nature…because this is the order found in nature. Always has been…always will be.

The Spring cycle… Is to begin new projects… to renew one’s life.

The Summer cycle… Is the time to change and grow.

The Fall cycle… Is the time to let go… and begin to gather in.

The Winter Cycle… Is a time to rest…reflect…and connect with spirit.

Enjoy your own life…get into the flow…with the changing seasons… and see and feel the difference in your daily life.

Become natural. Become more real. And allow Mother Nature to be your teacher.
