Dearest Grateful One,

We often bow our heads in prayer or use our hands to give blessing to our food before eating. And often people eat things they deem not very healthy, saying with a laugh, “I just eat what I want and bless it.” Perhaps we would do well to wonder, “How’s that’s really working for us?”

A gifted energy healer I know used to ask clients to bless some food to share with him. During their blessing he observed the energy being transmitted (if any) and any energetic change in the food.

After the blessing he used kinesiology and dowsing to determine the effectiveness of their blessing. Rarely was the blessing very effective in terms of increasing the energetic frequency of the food. (more…)

• Big Oklahoma Ice Storm
• A silver lining
• A prayer for these times

Greetings from the frozen South,

Actually the cold front has passed but here in Oklahoma City we recently experienced a four day ice storm of enough severity to put more than 300,000 homes out of power and leave many many tons of trees and branches blocking yards roadways and drives, and thousands of downed power lines.

4,000 workers from 25 states have spent long hours, both during the storm and since, to restore power and clear lines and roads. It didn’t make the news because of all the pre-election coverage, but it was crisis mode here for a while. I’m including a few pictures of the ice, so beautiful even if causing such havoc.

Im writing on November 11th, my 18th day without heat and electricity. However, I’m hopeful the electrician will be able to get to my place today to repair the power box and connections on the house that were damaged in the storm. Then the power company can come back and complete their work. Everyone is doing everything they can but the demand on electricians and repair workers etc. have, of course, been enormous.

It’s likely I’ll have power within 4-5 days. The storm started October 25th. It was most of five days before the freezing rains and winds died down and it became safer to asses the aftermath. (more…)

Dear Butterfly, 

I wrote to you near Christmas a couple of years ago, do you remember?   Your answer was so helpful I thought I’d ask for your help again.  What is happening right now?  It’s all so strange and scary.  I don’t know what to think.  Will things go back to normal soon?  Ever?  Are we going to be OK?  Am I?  What’s the thing I need to know so I feel better about what’s going on?  Do you know?

Hopefully,
Caterpillar Chrysalis

Dear Caterpillar,

It’s confusing, I know.  There’s so much conflict, so many conflicting opinions and theories.  So much noise!  It’s hard to sort what’s important or true.  But this is what you need to know:
You’re not a caterpillar anymore, and your Chrysalis is not your confinement any longer.  Things have been so odd and new that you’ve failed to understand this fully.  But dear, dear one, you have become a butterfly, like me!

Your wings are ready, your time as a caterpillar is done.

So burst free, free of old ways of thinking.  Don’t get caught in the chrysalis of global fears.  Be brave.  Fly.  Nothing can stop you.   (more…)
