3/1/26 Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Being a Disciple I Can Trust

Namaste Spring Seeds of Infinite Potentiality!
As our new month of March is here harkening the arrival of spring, I find myself contemplating life's circle of birth and death, in the center with a deep breath. A deep breath of miracle mindedness in the face of ongoing personal birthing pains layered with more insanity of humanity as our country went to war this weekend. There are so many layers of truth in our ashes and dust and ultimately, we are ever invited to turn and return to the divine essence within us that we can trust. I speak to this in a vlog from beautiful Lake Siskiyou, a favorite close up go to that always lifts me up and grounds me in.

Ashes to Ashes: Death to Breath

I am ever reminded both personally and globally, how in the face of change and reckoning with the past, there is a default program that can run us into repeating the disfunction we have seemingly outgrown. I see my own patterns that I continue to lovingly dance with in deeper compassion and understanding than ever before. I see the gross injustices playing out across our nation and world, STILL and I say, "REALLY?" and then I breathe deep into compassion and send as much faith and unconditional Love as I can muster in an effort to believe in the inherent goodness of humanity and our infinite potentiality.

Having this view and energy of Mount Shasta out my window is such a blessing and help in reaffirming my faith as well as healing and growing through my own persistent challenges.
Put succinctly, I am loving myself through 'getting over myself'. Here at New Thought Families, that means, among other things, I am back to relinking and sharing the Spiritual ABC pages that have come and gone over the last few years for not being good enough. Spirit holds the space within me to allow them as they are and to keep improving them. To keep choosing them. To keep choosing a yes filled persistence to Spirit's insistence even through my layers of resistance.

We do indeed choose our lives moment by moment. This magnificient mountain is teaching, healing, and soul reaching me moment by moment with the majestic mountain reminders of just how fleeting our moments are and how much can change in a moment. From little things like wrinkles to big things like war, our lives can and do change day to day. Our willingness to change and play often takes a peristence through the resistance that requires deep faith and mindfulness. We are designed to evolve friends and the birthing pains and growing pains we are experiencing on the daily are asking us to continually rise up from the ashes. To release in death and rejoice in our next breath!

I have a little story about divine order as a reminder of how the little moment decisions are always coming full circle. I live near the library here in Mount Shasta so I had introduced myself and let them know I could be a back up storytime person. I was asked if I could do puppets. SURE! So long story shorter, I am doing puppets and music once a month with Kim Niles who also teachers drama at the local community college. When she was here for a rehearsal, she recognized 1 of my little stuffy horses as one from her childhood named 'Sea Biscuit. She had the mother horse at her house. So of course, I gifted her the little horse as it made a full circle for her.

Having hope and faith in our personal and collective life circles means embracing these little moments as the tiny miracles they are. And breathing deep into the bigger invitations for death and breath for all things great and small. I choose to keep believing in the divine evolution solutions we are all capable of as individuals and as humanity. And as I choose to keep believing in me and this work, giving myself yet another chance to keep serving, so it is that I choose to know the heart of humanity holds more Love than fear. Thank you friend, for your heart of Love and your divine light presence here and now. Keep believing in beautiful you and in all of us as the Love expressed we truly be. Namaste, Love!
