I would like to share this little story because of my friend Sandra.
The last few times we’ve spoken, she has mentioned several times every time someone comes into her reading room they comment on my eagle picture you’ve got to share it she says.
I got thinking okay I’ll share it as I have a fascination with Eagles and I’ve been blessed many times in my life with amazing encounters with eagles.
Even the story behind this image yet I will share this one.
When I was getting married, my mom, who had past away 6 months earlier, I asked her for a sign that she was with me when I got married.
It was a simple wedding with a couple of friends on the beach on Vancouver island.
I said mom, please give me a sign through the eagle during the wedding.
While we were doing our vows there was an eagle way high up in the sky flying above us.
I said to my friend well she came but I was hoping for something else something more to be honest. Yet I was happy.
She said Jodi, you can’t you can’t have expectations of how it’ll show, how she will show you, yet she did let you know. I said I know, I guess I wanted more. I was missing my mom to be honest.
Anyways, we went for dinner.
At dinner both my brother and I both had ordered rice with our meals and instead we got mashed potatoes. I asked the waiter for rice.
Sandra asked me if I didn’t like mashed potatoes, I replied with I love mashed potatoes but my mom had the best mashed potatoes. She said really. So I asked the kids who had the best mashed potatoes and both replied together – Grandma Eve (as they called her).
Sandra replied with well, that’s how it works – your mom is letting you know she is here but not in the way you expected or wanted.
hmmmm ok I said okay fair enough I get it!
The next day comes and my husband and I drive out to Tofino on the far West coast on Vancouver Island.
We were staying at a hotel at the far end of the beach from Tofino.
We pulled up to this hotel as it was set back from the water but it’s where all the fishing boats anchored. The big fishing boats that go out to sea.
As we pulled into the parking lot there was at least 50 Eagles sitting in trees all around.
I want okay thanks Mom that is awesome but wait, it gets better !!
The next morning I get up and make my coffee, we’re staying in a condo style hotel on the second floor.
I make my coffee and go to sit on the couch as it’s has a great view out the window.
Right off to the side is as big tree less than 30 feet from the balcony and sitting on a branch is an Eagle looking at me.
Whoa!!
We didn’t leave till about 10 or so that morning and the eagle was still there.
We came back about 5 or so to get ready for dinner and the eagle was still there.
We came back from dinner about 9 or so the eagle was still there.
Wow, ok thanks Mom!!!!
Of course the next day when I woke up, the Eagle was gone, but I knew my mom was letting me know she was there.
There is no division between the seen and unseen except what we allow.
What stops us is our fears, points of views and programs.
As Everything is Energy and just vibrates at different speeds.
Me, yeah I’m still working on heightening my skills yet it’s possible for any of us.
Time to Start Unpacking
/0 Comments/in Inspirational, Latest /by adminTime to Start Unpacking
Unpacking Isn’t Always Fun but it is soooo Worth It!!!
In life
and living
the choice is always ours
to whether or not to leave our baggage as is
or to unpack it
The baggage represents all our past hurts,
regrets, deceptions, traumas and more
They are over
done
except by holding on to the story
the energies stay alive
and hold you back
in so many ways
They may have been true
and even real
yet only in that moment
It’s the attachment that keeps
those energies alive
Yes it may have hurt you
frustrated you
angered you
disempowered you
belittled you
or more
Yet, that is not you!!
You are love at your core
and are part of Creation
it’s when we can forgive
and let go
is where the truth lies
and true healing occurs
Not always easy
trust me I know
Yet that will truly set you free
Free to be
Free to love
Free to feel
Alive again
The gift in all of that is
To have more of you!!
There is never a better time
to start unpacking than in the now…….

Could It Be……
/0 Comments/in Inspirational, Latest /by adminCould It Be……..
What path are You choosing?
It is not our truth or our path
to suffer,
We have just forgotten,
We are more powerful than we know,
and we can chose things that help ease the journey,
that allow us to live our passion
and grow,
To be our truth
and express who we be
Could it all just be an illusion?
If so,
what path are you choosing??

No choice is good or bad unless you think so!
Yet are You choosing for YOU??
Where is the Love
/0 Comments/in Inspirational, Latest /by adminWhere is the Love
Where IS the Love? Inside of YOU!!
Love is a vibration
Yet we are taught to go seeking Love
Outside of ourself,
The truth is beautiful one,
You are LOVE
Your job is to remember that
When you do – it will set you Free
Feel the Love
Breath it in
As anything less than Love are lies
Start with yourself
Be Love
Anything less than Love
has you locked into the deceptive illusion
of separation
Love IS your truth
BE it
Love IS the highest vibration of all.
Just BE the Love Vibe!!!

Let That Shit Go
/0 Comments/in Inspirational, Latest /by adminLet That Shit Go
Let Go of the Lower Vibes so You Can Be Love.
What comes from the deepest part of me?
The things that long to connect with me to set me free.
Free of limitations, constructs, programs, old stories or anything else that denies me my truth, my being, my existence or my power.
When did I supress myself?
When I bought into the illusion so much so, that it seemed so real and I would fit in and not be seen.
Time to let that shit go.
We weren’t meant to fit in!
For me and for you!!

PS – Our truth is Love and nothing short of it!!

Old Mexican Buildings

Part of an Old Garment Factory in Mexico
Just took a 5 day little trek to the ocean for some fun in the sun – ok the beach!!
On the way there we went to an old as in 200 yrs old garment factory that the front has been restored on and an open theatre has been created.
One of the Halls in the Factory
The rest of the building was a photographers dream – ok mine 🙂 I love old fallen down buildings especially brick and wood, this one had much character and history!.
Parts Still Standing After 200 yrs…….or is it?
Thru the Old Door
On the way back we stopped at a 150 year old hacienda. I did not know that hacienda’s were sometimes 1000’s of acres big.
Both of these buildings were big.
Just Part of the Old Hacienda
Yet, it was a form of slavery until the revolution in the early 1900’s. It got me to thinking about history – or is there as in the quantum world everything is now. So why does history keep repeating itself or does it?
Since we are multi dimensional beings, is it that all timelines hold the same energies, just different eras or themes but similar.
The Second Building
As in slavery – this time line covers it up well yet it’s still slavery.
Just think about that for a moment.
I’m Curious of the Stories Here
Yet, we can start choosing differently.
We are more powerful than that!

Look Over Here
/0 Comments/in Latest, Poetry /by adminWhispers From Your Soul
Look Over Here
Look over here
Look over here
Where there is no fear
It’s in the answering of your Soul
to choose love and be clear
therefor you feel more real
Look over here
Look ove here
when there is no fear
only the longing from your heart
for it’s your Soul calling you
to create your life as art
Look over here
Look ver here
where there is no fear
only Love
that cradles you softly & gently
yet firm as a glove
Look over here
Look over here
Where the Whispers of Your Soul
are calling you
and it’s time to come home
it’s for all, not just a few
Listen to the Whispers of Your Soul
for it truly does know
life is for truthful living
and that is the goal
Your Soul is here now
lean into the calling
with your ear
and don’t ask how
for you will
know
that it’s your Soul
calling you home.

Shine Your Light Bright!
Under the light of the Moon
in the stillness of the dark
with the reflection of the light
is where there is solitude
and also a wondering
if I just sit, be still and gaze
at the bright Moon
I wonder
What is life really all about?
sitting, pondering and staring
at the Moon’s bright light
I am reminded
to shine my light
bright
by being me,
the Moon is here
to remind us all
to shine our light
bright!!

Dance with Life
/0 Comments/in Latest, Poetry /by adminDance with Life
Can You Hear the Music of Your Heart Beat?
I tried to dance with life
yet I forgot how,
see, through all the programming
dancing really isn’t allowed
Conform
Be Good
What will the neighbours think
I am told,
so now life has me waiting on the sidelines
hoping and anticipating
that maybe,
just maybe
I’ll dance again.
As a child
I danced all the time
to my own beat of my heart
until the music was turned way down,
fit in
don’t stand out
this is how it should be
I am told
yet
no one asked me
if it was aligned with my heart
so the music stopped
yet that is where I will find my music again
that only I can hear
and then
and only then
will I be able to dance again,
life has been calling me to dance
has it for you as well?
Then go dance and go within
so you too can hear the music
of your own heartbeat

The Calling of the Soul
/0 Comments/in Latest, Poetry /by adminThe Calling of the Soul
Your Soul is Calling – can You hear it??
comes through in heartaches
in shutting down
in denial of one’s truth,
when the Soul whispers
to get one’s attention
we can answer that whisper
or choose to ignore it
discount it
push that longing down
with words and feelings of
one day I’ll do that or
there’s not enough time or
gotta make more money
and
by wearing many masks of who we aren’t,
yet the Soul
lives in the eternal
moment of now
and patiently waits
for one to respond
to the calling of their Soul
yet the more one is shut down
disconnected
or in denial
to the calling of their Soul,
the more the calling turns to a cry…….
so listen to the calling of your Soul
for it will guide you home
where true freedom lives
Jodi
