To My Mother

Happy Mother's Day to my mother, Joan.

You are my mother, my friend, my confidante, my vicarious dance competition co-judge, my fan, my weekend call just to shoot the breeze, my weekly call just because, my concern, my lesson in forgiveness, my motivation to always do my best, my audience for my ranch tales, my reason for buying the car I did, my sounding board, my place of truth. 

Every day and night I give thanks that you are here in this lifetime.  Every day and night I ask Divine spirit to watch over you and protect you. Every day and night I feel special and loved when I think of you.

Thank you for supporting me in each and every one of my adventures and passions. Thank you for acknowledging events in my life. Thank you for admiring my writing. Thank you for asking. Thank you for knowing. Thank you for ignoring the human tendency to judge me. Thank you for showing me the freedom of releasing a secret. Thank you for inviting me to show and tell you how much I have learned and continue to learn. Thank you for updating me on your appointments and results. Thank you for trusting me with your thoughts. 

Whenever I say anything that includes "my mother" my heart smiles with deep appreciation.

You are my gift.  

With endless blessings of peace, light, and love.

Noelle.

My Prayer for Today

My prayer for today is that we each recognize our own divine value and believe in that value without searching outward for validation, without comparing ourselves to others, without criticizing others in order to feel self worth.  

May we be able to celebrate the successes of others with sincerity without questioning and counting our own successes. 

May we relieve ourselves of fear, because without fear, hate has no place to breed. 

May we be concerned with only our own truth, our own happiness, our own responsibility to this planet which is to love all.  

May we find the power in taking responsibility for our own actions, reactions, choices and outcomes.  When we embrace this power, we obtain a tranquility in our spirit.  We realize anything is possible.

May we use this power to share compassion for others.  For when we accept control of our own emotions, we will wish this calm for everyone.

May we find a moment to sit in silence and experience peace.  May that moment become a minute and that minute become an hour.  

May that hour become a way of life.  

Namaste. 

Healing Blessings

 

 

Archangel Raphael



There are a few people in my circle that could benefit very much from healing energy being sent to them.  In your prayers, meditations, talks to the universe, to your God, in your Reiki, your healing practice, I ask you to include them today.

 

**My sister Sharon is recovering from a heart procedure.
**Dear Carie is confronting tumors that have begun to grow again.
**Glory is doing her best to manage a variety of health issues while doing what she can to save her house.
**Devon, a young boy who was life flighted to Boston a couple of days ago is battling sepsis.
**The husband of one of my friends is receiving chemo and she is loyal to his care.

 

When healing energy and prayers are sent out into the universe and up to the heavens, major shifts occur.   When we send healing blessings to others, we too heal as we are reminded of our connection to each other.

 

Thank you for including them in your embrace of good health of mind, body and spirit.

 

Namaste.

Tripper's Day

Tripper and Dad

Tripper is in spirit and he is 23 years old today, May 15.  We all celebrated him today, even the few who didn't know him on this earth.

He was a noble horse, so stoic, proud, full of horsepower and full of incredible love.  Tripper was my first horse.  He taught me to love in a fuller, richer and more open way.

I have said many times before and I most certainly will say it again, he was my friend.

My Friend (and Jess the dog)

When I brought Shadow home, his eyes looked up at me and they were alive with old souls.  I could feel them and I could see them in his eyes.

On occasion when Shadow and I are walking, he will come beside me and put his nose in my hand, just as Tripper used to do. Aside from the 1,000 pound difference between them, I sense Tripper.  Tripper is so present and Shadow is the generous host.

Tripper and Alibi

Alibi and Tripper were good friends.  When Alibi became my horse, I moved him and Tripper to the same pasture.  It was anybody's guess who would be the dominant horse.  Tripper gave Alibi a good run for his money and hung in as the alpha as long as he could.  Eventually Alibi moved in, as he does.  But there always remained respect.  Today, Alibi sighed a birthday wish to Tripper.

In my bedside table drawer is a braided heart of Tripper's tail hair.  It's beautiful and lasting.  Fitting for my friend.
